Selected Students’ Perceptions and Attitudes on Cancel Culture: Reflections on Public Opinion, Attribution Theory, Compassionate Education, and Restorative Justice
Authors: Bantugan Brian , Abayon Cherilyn , Baylon Nicole , Hilario Grant , Roquim Natasia , Uriarte Lee Anne
Published: February 2025

This study explored college students’ perceptions of cancel culture, its normalization on social media, and criteria for a better approach. It aimed to identify positive aspects for responsible use and develop initiatives for ethical engagement. Using Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) conducted virtually via Zoom, the research involved 10 college students from various institutions in Metro Manila, ensuring diverse viewpoints. Thematic analysis guided by Braun and Clarke’s six-step process was employed, supported by real cancel culture cases to enrich discussions. Participants viewed cancel culture as flawed for accountability, preferring education over condemnation. While it can promote social justice, it often normalizes bullying and stifles open discourse, driven by a desire for quick justice and peer pressure. They advocated for dialogue and personal growth instead of punitive measures, stressing the importance of context and mitigating circumstances. Cancel culture should be a last resort, applied with a nuanced approach considering the severity of offenses and opportunities for reform. Though it raises awareness and addresses social issues, responsible use should prioritize education and restorative justice. Cancel culture influences societal norms and accountability perceptions by setting behavior standards, often focusing on internal attributions and character flaws, leading to harsh judgments. In contrast, restorative justice emphasizes empathy, understanding, and reconciliation over punitive measures, promoting meaningful dialogue and collective responsibility, essential for building supportive communities.

Authors: Bidin Jasrina , Wong Kah Keng , Mohammad Sallehudin Hakimah , Bidin Mohammad Zulkarnain , Shahril Nor Shuhaila , Wan Ghazali Wan Syamimee
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency associated with COVID-19 patients has recently garnered interest. This is likely due to the elderly population who are most commonly affected by COVID-19. In this study, we investigated the association of vitamin D levels with the clinico-demographical and laboratory characteristics of COVID-19 patients. Methods: We recruited 77 COVID-19 patients who were admitted to Hospital Pengajar Universiti Putra Malaysia (HPUPM) from January 2022 until February 2023. Their clinico-demographic data were retrieved, and serum vitamin D and C-reactive protein (CRP) immunoassays were conducted. The vitamin D levels of each patient were categorized as normal (≥50 nmol/L) or low (<50 nmol/L). Statistical comparisons of the patients’ clinico-demographic parameters with vitamin D levels were conducted. Results: In univariable analysis of categorical variables, significantly higher proportion of female COVID-19 patients presented with low serum vitamin D levels compared with male COVID-19 patients (p=0.045; 85.3% vs 65.1%). Pertaining to continuous variables, younger COVID-19 patients demonstrated significantly higher prevalence of low vitamin D levels (p=0.040; 45.58 vs 54.90 years old). COVID-19 patients with lower CRP levels also demonstrated significantly higher proportion of low vitamin D levels (p=0.046; 35.70 vs 60.92 mg/dl). These three parameters (i.e. gender, age, and CRP levels) were included in the multivariable logistic regression analysis to determine which factor(s) remained significantly associated with low vitamin D levels. All three parameters did not show significance in the multivariable analysis. Conclusion: Absence of statistical significance in the multivariable analysis indicates that the individual associations between age, gender, and CRP levels with low vitamin D levels are not independent of each other. These suggest underlying interactions between these factors that influence their relationships with vitamin D levels, and further studies are required to clarify such interactions in COVID-19 patients.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is frequently discussed in ICU settings, but there’s a dearth of data on its incidence among surgical patients in Malaysia. Understanding AKI onset characteristics and prognostic risk factors is crucial for enhancing clinical prevention and treatment strategies. Adequate knowledge among nurses, especially in early recognition, is key to identifying and preventing AKI in at-risk patients. This study aimed to assess the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) of nursing risk assessment regarding AKI among surgical department nurses. Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted in a Kuala Lumpur public teaching hospital from June 30th to July 8th, 2022. Seventy-five nurses from various units in the surgical department were randomly selected. Their KAP on AKI was evaluated using self-administered questionnaires, developed and validated for this research. Results: Most respondents were female nurses with a mean age of 35.7 and an average nursing experience of 9.78 years. Thirty-three nurses had advanced clinical training, and 21.3% had critical care unit experience. Overall, the KAP level on AKI among surgical nurses was moderate (61.4%). Significant differences in KAP scores were observed among different working units (p=0.031) and among nurses with advanced training (p=0.019). Notably, while nurses showed good knowledge and practice in AKI risk assessment, 93.3% were unable to correctly define AKI, and 70.7% lacked knowledge in performing AKI risk assessment. Additionally, only 2.6% correctly identified AKI risk factors. Conclusion: Nurses’ KAP scores on AKI in the surgical department were moderate. Implementing an education program on AKI risk assessment for nurses is essential to enhance their ability to identify and manage AKI in surgical patients.

Published: February 2025

This research examined the historical and sociopolitical contexts that supported
banditry in North West Nigeria. The study's main goals are to (a) emphasize the
state's failures to provide security and fulfil its responsibilities to inhabitants, (b)
examine government-socioeconomic links, and (c) suggest solutions. This study
employed qualitative research and reviewed the collection of documentary data. Textual
research using numerous sources and statistics revealed the development of banditry in
the studied area, as well as the Nigerian state's security failure. The study found that
banditry has increased in Nigeria, particularly in the northwest, causing economic
upheaval and death. Many see these attacks as the rise of non-state entities eroding state
control over violence. Banditry in the region has far-reaching consequences beyond
security. Banditry in North West Nigeria is a major issue that highlights the state's
security failures. Unpacking the sociohistorical reasons that caused this crisis shows that
banditry must be understood in the context of government, socio-economic issues, and
community dynamics. The Nigerian state must address banditry in the North West
through security, socio-economic development, law enforcement, and community
participation. Although the state has addressed these widespread issues, major
challenges persist. To reverse insecurity, the Nigerian government must undertake
comprehensive initiatives that address banditry's root causes. By encouraging
community participation, investing in socio-economic initiatives, and strengthening
anti-corruption law enforcement, Nigeria can make the North West and the nation safer.
Banditry prevention must address economic inequity, state capability, and community
cohesion.

Published: February 2025

Over the years, Nigeria government has undertaken pension reforms
with the aim of engendering economic development in the nation.
Thus, the study examined the nexus between pension reform and
economic development of Nigeria from 2004 to 2022. Specifically, the effects of
pension fund investments, private sector pension fund contributions, public
sector pension fund contributions and number of retirement savings account on
human development index, per capita income and misery index in Nigeria.
Error correction mechanism (ECM) technique and paired t-test were employed
in analyzing the data. Findings revealed that accumulated and current pension
fund investments had negative and insignificant effects on per capita income and
HDI while its effect on misery index was mixed as current pension fund
investments had negative and significant effect and accumulated pension funds'
investments exerted positive and insignificant effect on misery index in Nigeria,
respectively. Private sector pension fund contributions positively and
significantly influenced GDP per capita in Nigeria while it had negative and
significant effect on misery index. Public sector fund contributions had positive
and significant effect on HDI whereas it exhibited negative and significant effect
on misery index. Furthermore, number of retirement savings account positively
and insignificantly affected GDP per capita while it had positive and significant
effect on HDI even as it exhibited negative and significant effect on misery index
in Nigeria. Based on the outcomes of the study, it is recommended that pension
fund administrators in Nigeria re-route their investment so as to enhance per
capita income and HDI in Nigeria. This can be achieved through investment in
corporate and government securities.

Published: February 2025

Pediatric surgery is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and postoperative care of children with congenital and acquired anomalies and diseases. The goal of pediatric surgeons is to ensure that children receive the best possible care while minimizing the risks and complications associated with surgical procedures. Contemporary pediatric surgeons face many challenges, including a decline in the number of children with congenital developmental defects, economic pressures, and efforts to increase efficiency, leading to reduced time spent on individual surgeries. This can limit the opportunity for thorough training of young surgeons. These challenges require innovative approaches and continuous improvement in educational and training methods. Minimally invasive surgery has become a significant part of pediatric surgery, offering benefits such as faster recovery, smaller surgical wounds, and lower risk of infection. However, minimally invasive pediatric surgery is technically demanding and requires excellent technical skills. The need to maintain and improve surgical skills demands ongoing training. Current educational methods increasingly rely on simulation technologies to enhance the quality and safety of training without risk to patients. The integration of 3D printing technology and imaging data from CT and MRI scans has opened new possibilities for creating highly realistic simulation models for minimally invasive surgery. These models accurately replicate the environment encountered in procedures like neonatal surgery. In this article, we present our experience with the development and creation of 3D-printed synthetic models designed for training thoracoscopic surgery of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula. The aim of this review article is to provide an up-to-date overview of the literature on synthetic 3D-printed models designed for training in minimally invasive pediatric surgery.

Authors: Newland Natália , Pýchová Marcela , Heroldová Dagmar , Kynčl Martin , Rygl Michal
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Lumbar hernia in the pediatric population is an extremely rare diagnosis and therefore requires specific diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. This case report describes the first published case of a pediatric lumbar hernia in the Czech Republic.
Case description: A 22-month-old boy was examined at a pediatric surgical clinic due to a soft reducible mass in the right lumbar region, which, according to his mother, has been present from birth. An ultrasound scan confirmed a defect in the anatomical localization of the superior lumbar triangle (the triangle of Grynfeltt-Lesshaft) measur­ing 17 × 11 mm with a bowel loop herniation. The patient underwent a skeletal X-ray and an abdominal ultrasound in order to rule out associated malformations, following which he was scheduled for an open hernioplasty. Given the small size of the defect, a primary closure without mesh hernioplasty was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful and at clinical follow-ups the patient showed no signs of hernia recurrence or growth asymmetry.
Conclusion: Lumbar hernia in children is congenital and frequently occurs with other associated malformations, which must be ruled out. The type of operation depends on the size of the defect and its purpose is to provide a tension-free closure.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: With the introduction of the Da Vinci Xi robotic system, there has been an exponential development of robot-assisted surgical interventions. The benefits of robotic surgery are also successfully used in the field of pancreatic surgery. We present a case report of a 24-year-old female with solid pseudopapillary neoplasia of the pancreas operated on using this robotic system.
Case report: A young female patient with symptomatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasia of the cauda of the pancreas underwent robot-assisted spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (the Kimura procedure). The operation was performed according to the plan with the use of the Da Vinci Xi robotic system without complications. The post­operative course was smooth with subsequent discharge on the sixth postoperative day. Further postoperative development was favorable and the patient is in good general condition six months after the operation.
Conclusion: Robot-assisted surgical procedures also bring a number of advantages to the field of pancreatic surgery, which can be achieved safely and minimally invasively even in anatomically unfavorable terrain with the help of a robotic system. Although presenting a technically challenging method, it is a safe method in the treatment of benign and low-grade malignant pancreatic neoplasia.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy ranks among the routinely performed surgical procedures in world pancreatic centres. Since 2023, it has also been performed in the Czech Republic.
Case report: We present a case of a 65-year-old patient with accidentally found dilatation of the pancreatic duct. During the examination, a small tumor in the head of the pancreas was diagnosed. A robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed. Due to the perioperative suspicion of invasion into the portal vein, the resection was performed. The operation and the course of hospitalization were uncomplicated, the patient was discharged on the 9th postoperative day.
Conclusion: Robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy is a method that combines the advantages of a minimally invasive approach and meets the requirements for safety and oncological radicality. Suspected venous invasion is not an obstacle to completing robotic surgery.

Authors: Novysedlák René , Tavandžis Janis , Ozaniak Střížová Zuzana , Vachtenheim Jiří , Lischke Robert
Published: February 2025

The preservation of donor lungs and the effort to safely extend ischemic time while maintaining function is an important topic that the transplant community has been addressing for a long time. Recent publications, mainly from the Toronto team, have fundamentally influenced the existing standard of optimal preservation conditions, and their results provide a scientific basis for the shift from ice preservation to con­trolled hypothermia. Optimal preservation conditions are a necessary prerequisite for the safe extension of ischemic time. This brings additional potential for the development of the field and the possibility to improve the availability of lung transplantations and their outcomes. This review summarizes the key findings in the area of donor lung preservation from the first experimental attempts conducted 30 years ago to recent studies and discusses the various aspects that the change in preservation standard has influenced or is likely to influence.

Published: February 2025

Karst is a widespread natural phenomenon that is highly sensitive and very vulnerable to both natural and various anthropogenic impacts. This is due to the complex structure of karst territories, which comprise both surface forms and complex systems of underground cavities. Therefore, the study of karst requires a geosystem approach and integrated monitoring, which gives a real idea of the state of karst geosystems and the impacts of global changes on karstogenesis. The article presents a model of this approach, which is applied in karst studies in Bulgaria. The methodological basis is the original ProKARSTerra paradigm, based on the geosystem approach. Its main part is the Integrated Monitoring of Karst Systems (MIKS). It combines six types of monitoring, and it is carried out in three forms: expeditionary, remote and stationary with continuous instrumental measurements. They are concentrated in cave systems representative of karst in Bulgaria, in two of which networks of underground monitoring stations (Speleo-MIKS) have been built. The most important problems in the organization and maintenance of MIKS are summarized based on many years of experience. Examples of interpretation of results from the conducted long-term monitoring using the geosystem approach are presented in Supplementary information to the article.

Pendidikan Matematika di SMP penting untuk mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir logis dan analitis siswa. Artikel ini mengeksplorasi faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kemampuan Matematika siswa, khususnya beban kognitif dan motivasi intrinsik. Beban kognitif mengacu pada seberapa banyak informasi yang dapat diproses oleh siswa, yang dapat menghambat pemahaman jika terlalu tinggi. Motivasi intrinsik meningkatkan semangat belajar siswa dan mendorong pemahaman yang lebih dalam. Penelitian ini menganalisis hubungan antara kemampuan Matematika siswa SMP BSS dengan tingkat beban kognitif dan motivasi intrinsik mereka melalui pengumpulan data. Analisis data dilakukan dengan uji regresi berganda untuk mengetahui hubungan dari tingkatan beban kognitif dan motivasi intrinsik siswa terhadap hasil kemampuan Matematika siswa pada mata pelajaran Matematika serta secara simultan. Pengujian statistik regresi berganda menghasilkan pengaruh motivasi intrinsik tidak secara signifikan mempengaruhi kemampuan Matematika siswa (sig.0.102>0.05), sedangkan beban kognitif siswa secara signifikan mempengaruhi kemampuan Matematika siswa namun bersifat lemah (sig.0.021<0.05). Secara simultan pengaruh dari beban kognitif dan motivasi intrinsik secara signifikan mempengaruhi kemampuan Matematika siswa (0.01<0.05). Penelitian ini memberikan saran untuk penelitian selanjutnya dalam pengaruh beban kognitif terhadap kemampuan Matematika siswa.
