Authors: Herath H. M. M. N. , Aruppala W. D. N.
Published: January 2025

This study examines the factors that affect the successful adoption of online banking services in Sri Lanka. Despite the many advantages offered by online banking, its acceptance in the country remains low. To address this issue, this research applies the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) introduced by Davis in 1989, focusing on the key attributes influencing online banking adoption. The study investigates the determinants influencing the effective deployment of online banking services in Sri Lanka, gathering data through a questionnaire distributed among internet banking users. Demographic and correlation analyses were conducted and the impact of independent variables on online banking adoption was assessed through reliability tests and path analysis with Smart PLS software. Findings reveal that factors such as perceived benefit, ease of use, and customer attitudes significantly influence the intention to use online banking services in the country. Moreover, the study highlights the advantages of online banking for both consumers and banks, including convenience, time savings, and cost efficiency. The research suggests that banks should communicate these benefits to customers to increase adoption rates and enhance service quality. The findings offer important insights for Sri Lankan banks and policymakers aiming to promote the usage of online banking and improve financial inclusion.

Authors: Gaurav Geet , Sajjanar Deepa Sanjeev , Naregal G. V. , Sajjanar Sanjeev L.
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND:

Chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis have higher cognitive impairment than the normal population due to diminishing renal function. Cognitive impairment can be assessed with the Mini-Mental State Examination or the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:

The current study aims to assess mild cognitive impairment (MCI) using the MoCA examination and to document the attributes of cognitive impairment in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

The MoCA examination was administered to all patients in Kannada using the original form SPSS 22.0, developed by SPSS Inc. in Chicago, IL, USA, and was utilized for conducting statistical analyses.

RESULTS:

Continuous variables were summarized by mean and standard deviation, whereas categorical data were summarized by number and percentage. Categorical variables were assessed using the Chi-square test. A value of P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. The mean age of the participants was 44.4 ± 15.1 years, and the mean duration of hemodialysis was 13.8 ± 14 months. About 88.6% of participants (n = 62) showed considerable cognitive impairment and 1.4% had frank dementia. A positive association was noted between cognitive impairment and the conditions of diabetes mellitus and hypertension with a relative risk of 1.02 and 1.11, respectively. The functions of naming and orientation were perfectly correlated with the MoCA scores with r = 0.866 and r = 0.893, respectively.

CONCLUSION:

The study suggests that the treating physician can stress more on compliance considering the associated cognitive impairment in MHD patients. Parameters such as age, gender, and race/ethnicity influence MCI. This special population needs more attention.
Beware of failure of early pregnancy induction – An incidental discovery of an undiagnosed bicornuate uterus at laparotomy
Authors: Yaliwal Rajasri G , Biradar Aruna M. , Sangolli Laxmi , Raghavendra Rakshitha
Published: January 2025

A bicornuate uterus is a term used to denote a set of congenital Mullerian anomalies that are a result of incomplete fusion of the uterovaginal horns during the development of the female genital tract at the level of the fundus. A case of a woman in her late 20s with 17 weeks 2 days period of gestation is described who presented to the OBGYN outpatient department wishing to discontinue her current pregnancy. Medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) was attempted with pharmacological and mechanical methods, which all proved unsuccessful. On the last resort to open the abdomen, an incidental discovery of a bicornuate uterus was made. The pregnancy located in the left horn was removed, while the right horn was intact. Most Mullerian anomalies go unnoticed, even on ultrasound, until women give a history of recurrent pregnancy losses, preterm deliveries, or, as in the above case, failure of MTP. Increased awareness and familiarity with the diagnosis are required for active intervention in these adverse conditions.

Impact of pulmonary yoga module on lung capacity of COVID-19 adult survivors
Authors: Tomar Adarsh , Verma Sudhanshu
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND:

Although every organ has its own importance in the human body, the significance of the lungs is vital. Numerous complications can occur if lungs are compressed; cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are most common in such circumstances. Healthy lungs are associated with overall good health and strong immunity. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the lungs were the primary organs that failed and became the main cause of death. Yoga (YOG) provides a lot of solutions to get the lungs healthy. Nowadays, yogic practices are being used as a preventive measure against this deadly virus. There is a hypothesis that yoga improves lung capacity significantly, which is a front-line fighter against any pathogens or viruses that intrude inside the body. For a healthy and harmonious life, the functions of the lungs are supposed to work properly. Those with healthy lungs are less likely to get infected by viruses and tend to have better immunity which is the key factor for a healthy life. This study is going to delve into the efficacy of selective yogic practices on the lung capacity of a few common symptomatic coronavirus adult survivors as per addition and omission criteria.

METHODOLOGY:

Fifty subjects of 18–30 years age elected for the research work with the peer group range of 18–30 years (mean = 22.24), lung capacity, level of SpO2, and pulse rate of selected subjects were measured twice prior and end of the intervention for each participant. Expiratory peak flow measurements were taken of subjects to know the lung capacity through the expiratory peak flow meter. A pulse oximeter has been used to take data for SpO2 and pulse rate. Selected yogic practices were intervened for 2 months. The before-test and after-test data were taken, stored, and tabulated to find the efficacy of Yogic interventions. The simple random sampling technique applied for the selection procedure and expulsion standard is 10%.

OUTCOME:

After 8 weeks of yoga intervention (selected yogic practice) on day 60th, posttest data were taken and assessed on different significance levels (α). The mean peak flow was 291 and 353.80 before and after the intervention, respectively (P = 2.711). The mean SpO2 was 97.9 and 98.74 earlier and later in the intervention, respectively (P = 0.0134). The mean pulse rate was 88.00 and 84.90 prior and completion of the intervention, respectively (P = 0.2008).

CONCLUSION:

Indeed, as per the results and evidence, statistically significant changes in peak flow, level of SpO2, and pulse rate and selective yogic practices significantly affect the lung capacity, hence can be used for post-COVID-19 treatment as integrative, alternative, or complementary medicine.

Authors: Gohil Divya , Koul Mokshi , Baxi Gaurang
Published: January 2025

INTRODUCTION:

Posture is a position assumed by the body. The protracted shoulder is accompanied by a forward positioning of the head. Kinesiology Taping is a therapeutic tool to unload the fascia and assist in the relief of chronic pain. Retraction exercises reduce the adverse loads on joints and they train the deep postural stabilizing muscles.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

After ethical approval, 30 subjects with protracted shoulders in the age group of 18–24 years were selected by simple random sampling, and randomly divided into two groups. Outcome measures assessed were pectoralis minor length and the supine measurement of protracted shoulders. Data were collected four times: pretreatment on day 1, immediate posttreatment on day 1, posttreatment on day 14, and on day 24.

RESULTS:

Data were analyzed using the PRIMER statistical package software. Repeated Measures ANOVA was used to compare the intragroup differences in measurements for both outcome measures. A T-test was used to compare the intergroup differences. The differences were highly significant (P < 0.05) for all outcome measures, except for pectoralis minor length differences on day 14 and day 24.

CONCLUSION:

The study concludes that K-Taping has shown higher effectiveness compared to retraction exercises in protracted shoulders.

Authors: Das Ujjwal , Kar Nishamani
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND:

The geriatric population is increasing in India as well as in the world. Prevailing of different types of morbidity among the geriatric population is an important health challenge for most developing countries. Thus present study examines the socioeconomic status and morbidity pattern among elderly individuals in Bankura district, West Bengal.

DATA AND METHODS:

A total of 465 elderly from rural areas of Bankura district, West Bengal, were selected by systematic random sampling. A pretested, semi-structured questionnaire was administered to collect data. Blood pressure, height, and weight were measured and recorded. Ethical clearance was obtained and informed consent was taken from study participants. Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate the risk factors of morbidity.

RESULTS:

The overall prevalence of morbidity among the study participants was 82.7%. The majority of the study population suffers from hypertension (71.8%), followed by diabetes (33.2%), heart disease (21.5%), and depression (15.1%). The prevalence of hypertension among males was 70.2 (150) and in female subjects was 73.3 (156). Multivariate logistic regression implied that individuals older than 65 years higher risk of morbidity as compared to older adults 55 years of age. The result also suggested that no education, widowed, not physically working, and lifestyle indicators such as smoking, tobacco use, and excess alcohol intake were the significant risks for multi-morbidity. The overall risk of morbidity was higher among the females than the male counterparts.

CONCLUSION:

This study underscored significant health issues affecting the elderly population. Hypertension was found to have the highest burden of morbidity, followed by bone diseases such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Therefore, enhancing geriatric health services is urgently needed to improve their quality of life.

Authors: Sharma Anchal , Singh Moradhvaj
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND:

This study investigates the influence of a 1-month laughter yoga training program on the verbal working memory (WM) of visually impaired schoolchildren. Verbal WM plays a pivotal role in cognitive development, particularly for individuals with visual impairments who rely heavily on auditory information for learning and navigation. Verbal memory is essential for language acquisition, comprehension of instructions, and retention of academic content. Enhancing verbal memory is fundamental to visually impaired children’s educational and social development. Regular yoga practice has been associated with cognitive benefits, including memory enhancement, making it a potential intervention to enhance verbal memory in this population.

METHODOLOGY:

The study was conducted on 20 children at a local school for students with special needs in Noida, India. Data were collected using the listening span test, involving pre- and posttests for these children.

RESULTS:

The results of this study indicate that the verbal WM scores of children in the experimental group (t = 8.468, P < 0.01) were significantly influenced and no significant difference was found in the verbal WM scores of children in the control group by regular laughter yoga practice.

CONCLUSION:

This study demonstrates that 1-month laughter yoga training can effectively enhance verbal WM in visually impaired schoolchildren. This finding highlights the potential of laughter yoga as a beneficial cognitive intervention for this demographic.

INTRODUCTION:

Road traffic injury is the persistent public health challenge in most regions of the world, comprising substantial human and economic losses. This study was, therefore, aimed to identify risk factors associated with risky driving behaviors and related injuries among college students in urban Bengaluru, where increased urbanization, economic development, and lifestyle changes have raised road traffic exposure.

METHODOLOGY:

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 320 students in the age group of 16–23 years from July to September 2023. Two government and private schools in urban Bengaluru were randomly selected. Data were collected using the World Health Organization STEP-wise approach to surveillance violence and injury module, administered through Google Forms. The analysis included descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, Fisher’s exact test, and logistic regression to identify factors associated with specific outcomes.

RESULTS:

About 28% of the students reported experiencing injuries in the past 30 days. Among injuries, 56% of the students had road traffic accidents (RTAs), followed by 39% who had a fall history. Coming to road safety behaviors 14% of the students rarely used seat belts while driving which is found to be significantly associated with injuries.

CONCLUSION:

In our study, one in four students was found to be experiencing injuries in the past 30 days. Among these incidents, RTAs were the most prevalent, revealing concerning road safety behaviors among college students.

Published: January 2025

Introduction:

Increasing age is associated with an increased incidence of necrotising fasciitis. In this study, we aimed to compare the clinical presentation, investigations, microbiology and clinical outcome in elderly (age ≥60 years) and nonelderly (age <60 years) patients with extremity necrotising fasciitis.

Methods:

A retrospective review of patients with extremity necrotising fasciitis who were surgically treated between January 2005 and December 2021 was conducted. The following patient outcomes were studied: amputation and mortality rates, length of stay, performance of surgery within 24 h and accuracy of diagnosis at presentation.

Results:

A total of 167 patients were treated. Of these patients, 66 (39.5%) were aged ≥60 years and 101 (60.5%) were aged <60 years. Elderly patients were more likely to have ischaemic heart disease (P = 0.001), immunosuppression (P = 0.019) and bullae (P = 0.025) on presentation. Significantly more elderly patients had monomicrobial gram-negative infections (P = 0.006). Elderly patients had significantly higher amputation (42.4% vs. 22.8%, P = 0.01) and mortality (34.8% vs. 18.8%, P = 0.02) rates.

Conclusion:

In patients aged ≥60 years, necrotising fasciitis of the extremities is associated with significantly increased risk of amputation and mortality. It is important for the treating surgeon to be aware of this association, so that early appropriate empirical antibiotics and radical surgical debridement can be initiated and the patient appropriately counselled.
Maximal subgroups of finitely presented special inverse monoids
Authors: Gray Robert D. , Kambites Mark
Published: January 2025

We study the maximal subgroups (also known as group

\mathcal{H}

-classes) of finitely presented special inverse monoids. We show that the maximal subgroups which can arise in such monoids are exactly the recursively presented groups, and moreover every such maximal subgroup can also arise in the

E

-unitary case. We also prove that the possible groups of units are exactly the finitely generated recursively presented groups; this improves upon a result of, and answers a question of, the first author and Ruškuc. These results give the first significant insight into the maximal subgroups of such monoids beyond the group of units, and the results together demonstrate that (perhaps surprisingly) it is possible for the subgroup structure to have a complexity which significantly exceeds that of the group of units. We also observe that a finitely presented special inverse monoid (even an

E

-unitary one) may have infinitely many pairwise non-isomorphic maximal subgroups; this contrasts sharply with the case of (non-inverse) special monoids, where Malheiro showed that all idempotents lie in the

\mathcal{D}

-class of

1

, from which it follows that all maximal subgroups are isomorphic.

We report two cases of recurrent malaria in U.S. travelers returning from Africa (Ghana and Central African Republic) despite a full course of artemether–lumefantrine (AL). Both patients presented to New York City hospitals, received AL treatment, and clinically improved. Within 2 weeks, they presented with recurrent Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Parasite isolates were sequenced, and P. falciparum kelch 13 propeller domain mutations that are validated or candidate markers of artemisinin partial resistance were not identified. Parasites had mutations within the P. falciparum multidrug resistance protein 1 gene. It is crucial to remain vigilant for recurrent malaria in travelers, even from African regions where partial resistance to artemisinin-based combination therapy has only rarely been reported.

Published: January 2025

Este estudio analiza la enseñanza de variables aleatorias discretas utilizando la app móvil “PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS” y respuestas generadas por la Inteligencia Artificial de MetaIA. Participaron 95 alumnos del CETIS 167, quienes cursan el sexto semestre en probabilidad y estadística. Se inició con la explicación de la distribución de Bernoulli para comprender eventos dicotómicos. Posteriormente, los estudiantes emplearon la app para calcular probabilidades con esta distribución y explorar conceptos relacionados con reemplazo y sin reemplazo, conectados a las distribuciones hipergeométrica y de Bernoulli, respectivamente. Además, se abordó la distribución de Poisson como proceso estocástico, empleando la app para modelar funciones de masa de probabilidad. En la etapa final, los alumnos resolvieron una evaluación de cuatro reactivos, utilizando tanto la app como MetaIA. Los resultados indicaron que los estudiantes lograron una mejor interpretación de los problemas al centrarse en el análisis conceptual más que en cálculos manuales. MetaIA mostró fortalezas en clasificar y desglosar ejercicios según distribuciones, aunque presentó errores en cálculos matemáticos debido a la falta de precisión en la integración de fuentes. Se concluye que la combinación de Tecnologías del Aprendizaje y Conocimiento con Inteligencia Artificial puede facilitar la resolución de problemas reales y promover una comprensión más profunda en los estudiantes.

Published: January 2025

The development of critical thinking is an essential component of modern education. This study aimed to identify the impact of problem-based tasks on developing critical thinking in primary school students. The research methods included Watson-Glaser testing, Cornell Critical Thinking Test (level X), ANOVA and correlation analysis. The results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group: in the category “Identifying Facts”, the average score increased from 3.5 to 5.5, in “Interpreting Data” - from 4.0 to 6.0, and in “Drawing Conclusions” - from 3.0 to 5.0. Also, in the “Situation Analysis” category, the score increased from 3.2 to 5.3, and in “Hypothesis Formulation”, from 2.8 to 4.7. The final score of the experimental group increased from 12.3 to 16.5, while the control group showed only a slight improvement (from 11.8 to 12.0), confirming the effectiveness of problem-based tasks. The practical significance of the results in introducing problem-based tasks to develop students' critical skills makes the study's findings applicable and valuable. Prospects for further research include the study of long-term effects and the impact of socio-economic factors on the effectiveness of these methods.

Violence and aggressive behavior of people with personality disorders
Authors: GONȚA Victoria , SABAREANU Laurențiu-Mihai
Published: January 2025

Aggression and violent behavior in people with personality disorder (PD) is a serious concern for mental health professionals and those working in the justice system. There are also studies in the literature showing that relationships between TP and aggression vary in both magnitude and direction, supporting the idea that TP reflects substantial heterogeneity in aggressive behavior. Although there has been substantial progress in theoretical knowledge regarding the mechanisms underlying aggressive behavior for specific TPs, a general theory of psychological aggression that can explain the relationship between TPs and aggression has been proposed. In this sense, the General Model of Aggression (GAM) was developed, which provides a unifying framework of factors correlated with aggression. The general model of aggression identifies several cognitive and affective factors as key determinants of aggression. Investigating these factors may help to understand and account for the increased rates of aggression observed in individuals with PD. The study presented in the article aims to identify a profile of the family aggressor according to personality dimensions (impulsivity, aggression-hostility, neuroticism) and personality variables (personality disorders, physical aggression and hostility) in men who are serving custodial sentences for crimes by VD. The research was carried out on a sample of 173 subjects, adult men, serving custodial sentences, representative of the target population. The elevation of the typologies, of the groups of aggressors, was carried out based on the subscales of the antisocial, paranoid, depressive, narcissistic and brothel typology of the SCID-II questionnaire. To create the clusters, we selected the following variables: depressive personality disorder (TPD), paranoid personality disorder (TPPA), narcissistic personality disorder (TPNa), borderline personality disorder (TPBo), antisocial personality disorder (TPAS), the personality traits impulsivity, neuroticism-anxiety and aggressionhostility, rumination, as a cognitive-emotional coping strategy and instrumental aggression traits, respectively physical aggression and hostility. The cluster analysis allowed, from the empirical data, the identification of four types of family aggressors: non-pathological aggressors, borderline/dysphoric aggressors, antisocial/generally violent aggressors and the antisocial subtype.

Published: January 2025

The application of the Theory of Multiple Intelligences in the educational system offers the possibility of organizing an interactive/differentiated/individualized learning. Learning from the perspective of multiple intelligences is designed and adapted for students, to support them in capitalizing on their own resources. A student-centered education represents an education that takes seriously the differences between students, as well as discovering the strengths and educational inclinations of each student. In turn, the mobilization of multiple intelligences will help students in acquiring information of a disciplinary content, and not to be used as a way of classifying them.
