Published: January 2024

Introduction. Les travaux facultaires (TF) participent à la construction des compétences des étudiants en 3e cycle (E3C) des études de médecine générale (MG). Le temps personnel de formation des étudiants fixé à une demi-journée par semaine apparaît comme un temps privilégié permettant la rédaction des TF. Les étudiants déclarent peu utiliser ce temps de formation personnelle. Objectif. Décrire le temps dédié à la rédaction des TF et analyser les facteurs qui lui sont associés. Méthode. Enquête transversale par questionnaire envoyé par courriel par les départements de médecine générale à l’ensemble des E3C de MG en France et en stage. Analyse bivariée et multivariée menées sur le logiciel STATA. Résultats. Au total, 2003 étudiants ont répondu. Une moyenne de 1,74 demi-journées hebdomadaires étaient dédiées à la rédaction des TF. La rédaction était majoritairement (62,6 %) réalisée sur le temps personnel ou partagée avec d’autres activités de formation quand ce n’était pas le cas. Les principaux facteurs associés au temps de rédaction identifiés en analyse multivariée étaient le caractère hospitalier du stage (-1,02 DJ, p < 0,01), la perception d’une charge lourde des TF (+1,07 DJ, p = 0,044), la perception positive des TF (+0,84 DJ, p < 0,01). Discussion. L’absence de sanctuarisation du temps dédié à la production des TF participe à la surcharge cognitive des étudiants. Elle entraîne des répercussions sur les mécanismes cognitifs mis en jeu dans la rédaction des TF ainsi que sur la santé mentale des étudiants. L’absence de sanctuarisation de la rédaction des TF est multifactorielle et complexe. Ce travail suggère qu’une identité professionnelle peu tournée vers l’exercice de la médecine générale pourrait participer à cette difficulté. Une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes de socialisation professionnelle des étudiants dans le cursus français pourrait permettre d’accompagner la construction de leur identité professionnelle.

Child development assessment is a crucial step in ensuring optimal growth in the early stages of life. The Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) II, as a clinically proven structured instrument, serves as a vital tool for early detection of potential developmental issues in children.. This community service aims to increase awareness and understanding among the community regarding early detection of child development through the implementation of a Routine Child Development Assessment Program using the Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) II. The service was conducted at Daycare Al-Amiin, involving 20 children aged 2-3 years as participants. The service method includes assessments using the DDST II tool, evaluating psychomotor, language, and socio-emotional development in 20 children. The results show that out of the 20 children assessed, 18 exhibited normal development, while 2 showed signs of developmental tendencies requiring further attention (suspect). This data provides a positive overview of the program's effectiveness in early detection of potential developmental issues. Increased community awareness is evident from the active participation of daycare managers in these routine activities.

Published: January 2024

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as additive printing, is increasing its importance in every field of dentistry. There are different methods of AM, one of these being digital light processing (DLP). Several factors can influence the accuracy of printed crowns, and one of them is the building or printing orientation. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the trueness and precision of temporary crowns produced via DLP with different printing angles. An artificial molar prepared to receive a full crown was scanned. A total of 15 resin crowns were printed through DLP and divided into three groups considering 3 different printing angulations: 90°, 45° or a custom angulation. Trueness and precision were evaluated considering the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). Regarding the internal fit, the 90° printing angulation showed a higher accuracy compared to the other angulations, whereas regarding the occlusal aspect, Custom angulation crowns were better. Custom Crowns showed a higher precision when considering the internal aspect, being equal to the 90° printing angulation regarding the occlusal aspect. 135° printing angulation value performed equal or worse precision and accuracy in all zones. In terms of trueness and precision, custom angulation crowns showed acceptable internal and occlusal results for 3D printed provisional crowns.
Lessons from the Law and Politics of Federalism in Africa: Federalism Is Bigger Than Federation; Constitutions Are More Than Single Mega-Documents; the International Trumps the Domestic; and the Past Continues to Matter
Authors: Erk Jan
Published: January 2024

The study of federalism brings together both political scientists and constitutional lawyers. It is one of those fields of study where the scholarly and the applied are inextricably interlinked. However, studies on and from the non-Western world tend to be underrepresented in the field, subsequently leading to both scholarly and applied shortcomings. This article is an attempt to start undoing that unevenness by identifying four lessons from the African continent. While doing so, we pursue two simultaneous intellectual goals: One is to use Africa to help sharpen the theoretical insights and conceptual tools of comparative federalism in general – applicable to both the West and the rest. And secondly, running parallel to this, the article also exposes the reader to the varieties of federalism in Africa. This not only enriches our scholarly repertoire but will also help nuance and finetune some of the prevailing theoretical assumptions in the field, and thus improve the chances of federalism to deliver on its promises in applied terms. The comparative lessons drawn from the African experience can be grouped under four categories. 1) The article builds on the conceptual distinction between federalism and federation; and argues that ideas and practices of federalism in Africa are more numerous than the formal federations of the continent. 2) The pre-colonial and imperial history of the continent is marked by British-style amalgamations of constitutional documents, practices, unwritten rules, and customs – some at the imperial level, some regional, some local. 3) International-level factors, especially the arrival of colonialism, and then later, the geopolitical pressures of the Cold War, played key roles in influencing the choice and workings of constitutions on the continent. 4) History has left each African country with certain dynamics unique to them making cutting and pasting best practices from abroad without attention to the local context problematic.

В статье рассмотрены некоторые характерные формы столовой или, как ее еще называют, «парадной» керамики периода развитого средневековья (IX–XII вв.) из раскопок Центрального квартала г. Тигранакерт в Арцахе. Здесь на продолжении 14 лет проводились регулярные раскопки, в результате чего был накоплен большой полевой материал, основную массу которого составляет керамика. Судя по артефактам, хозяйственная жизнь города с момента его основания практически не прерывалась на протяжении многих столетий, охватывая период с I в. до н. э. и до начала XIII в. Соответственно, вся керамика Тигранакерта условно делится на две обобщенные хронологические группы – античную и средневековую.

Authors: Sarı Nihal , Saylam Kurtipek Gülcan , Ünal Mehmet , Öztürk Mehmet , Sarı İlker Fatih
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Ingrown nail is a condition caused by the perforation of the periungual soft tissues on nail folds by the sides of nail plaque, causing inflammation and severe pain. Recently, the role of foot anatomical disorders in ingrown nail development has been emphasized.
Objectives: The main objective of this study aimed to determine whether foot deformities played significant roles in ingrown nail development with objective radiological parameters.
Methods: The study included 64 patients diagnosed with clinical ingrown nail and 71 patients as controls without any ingrown nail history. In both groups, we evaluated the bilateral foot radiographs of patients with ingrown nails for hallux valgus angle (HVA), interphalangeal angle (IPA), and intermetatarsal angle (IMA) associated with hallux valgus, and the calcaneal pitch angle (CPA), talohorizontal angle (THA), and talometatarsal angle (TMA) related to pes planus.
Results: No significant difference was found in terms of hallux valgus radiological measurements of HVA, IPA and IMA as well as pes planus radiological measurements of CPA and TMA values, when compared to controls. THA was statistically significantly higher in the control group (P = 0.025). There was a moderate strength positive relationship between ingrown nail stage and measured TMA for pes planus diagnosis (rho = 0.326; P = 0.04), yet there are no significant correlations between ingrown nail stage and other angles.
Conclusions: Therefore, we do not recommend foot anatomy correction in the prevention and treatment of ingrown nails, unless there is an accompanying foot deformity; however, pes planus is a foot deformity that can accompany patients with severely ingrown nails.
Effect of Treatment With Biologic Agents on the Novel Inflammatory Biomarkers Systemic Immune Inflammation Index and Systemic Inflammation Response Index for Psoriasis
Authors: Tamer Funda , Edek Yusuf Can , Aksakal Ahmet Burhan
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic cutaneous disorder with underlying systemic inflammation. The systemic immune inflammation (SII) and systemic inflammation response indexes (SIRI) are novel biomarkers that indicate systemic inflammation.
Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the effect of biological agent treatment on SII and SIRI in psoriasis patients.
Methods: Between April 2019 and October 2022, SII and SIRI were retrospectively evaluated in patients with psoriasis before and three months after the initiation of biological agents.
Results: This study included 220 patients, 101 females and 119 males. SIRI was significantly higher in male patients compared to females (P < 0.001). Although not statistically significant, SII and SIRI were higher in obese patients, patients with severe psoriasis, longer disease duration, nail involvement and patients who received previous biological agent treatment. SII was also higher in patients with hypertension, diabetes, hepatic steatosis, depression and coronary artery disease (P = 0.801, P = 0.752, P = 0.706, P = 0.079, P = 0.861, respectively), whereas SIRI was higher in patients with diabetes and depression (P = 0.263, P = 0.777, respectively). Both SII and SIRI statistically significantly decreased after treatment with adalimumab, infliximab, ixekizumab, secukinumab, ustekinumab and risankizumab.
Conclusions: SII and SIRI may indicate the severity of psoriasis as well as SII may be associated with psoriatic arthritis, hypertension, hepatic steatosis and coronary artery disease in patients with psoriasis. There is no consensus on the biomarkers that can be used to create an optimized treatment strategy in psoriasis. Therefore, SII and SIRI may be helpful in making the choice of treatment and in the follow-up of patients with psoriasis treated with biological agents.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Teledermatology represents an alternative medical approach allowing for the remote assessment of a patient's clinical information without the need for face-to-face consultations.
Objective: This study aims to gauge the public's awareness and perception of teledermatology.
Methods: This research employed a cross-sectional observational design. Data collection was executed using an online survey. Sociodemographic attributes of all participants, such as age, gender, and occupation, were recorded. The survey, designed using Google Forms, comprised two sections: demographic information (5 questions) and queries related to teledermatology (10 questions). Questions and options in the survey were reviewed and revised by two dermatologists to eliminate potential misunderstandings, grammar, and other errors. Power analysis indicated a requirement of a minimum of 527 participants, given a 0.05 margin of error, 98% confidence level, and 0.50 response distribution.
Results: A total of 873 individuals completed the survey— 47.7% were male and 52.3% were female. Students made up 48.1% of the participants, while 22.6% were civil servants. The Marmara Region had the highest participation rate at 47.7%. Remarkably, 41.9% of participants were unfamiliar with the term "teledermatology." However, 57.2% expressed a preference for consultations via teledermatology. Furthermore, 63.7% mentioned facing challenges when attempting to communicate with dermatologists for skin-related concerns. A notable 71.6% supported the formal implementation of teledermatology in our country.
Conclusion: Our survey highlighted a limited awareness of teledermatology among participants, yet a majority showed a preference for teledermatology consultations. For a comprehensive understanding of public knowledge and perception towards teledermatology, more extensive, multicentric studies are necessary.

Authors: Jiang Wuxue , Zhan Ying , Sun Daner , Looi Chee-Kit
Published: January 2024

Blended learning, a pedagogical approach that seamlessly integrates online and offline teaching methods, has evolved into a pivotal component of higher education. In order to assess students’ perspectives on their experiences with blended learning in higher vocational schools, we developed a comprehensive tool known as the Blended Learning Perception Scale (BLPS). The scale’s reliability and validity have been rigorously substantiated through data obtained from 600 students enrolled in a vocational school in China. The creation of this scale primarily entailed the application of quantitative methodologies, including both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The final scale encompasses 24 items, categorizing student perceptions into five distinct factors: content coherence, interaction effectiveness, platform functionality, learning motivation, and learning satisfaction. Collectively, these factors elucidate 68.346% of the total variance. Moreover, the Cronbach’s coefficients (α) for these factors range from 0.791 to 0.842, denoting a high degree of internal consistency and thereby establishing the scale’s reliability. Item-based analysis further substantiates the scale’s reliability and discriminability, while confirmatory factor analysis unequivocally confirms its structural validity. Each factor’s average variance extracted (AVE) ranges from 0.589 to 0.671, with a cumulative value of 2.766. Additionally, the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RSMEA) recorded at 0.053 underscores the scale’s satisfactory level of structural validity. In essence, this study presents a valid and dependable instrument for gauging students’ perceptions of blended learning, thoughtfully tailored to the specific attributes of higher vocational education and its students. Furthermore, it offers insights into areas that necessitate further enhancement within blended learning programs.

Background and Purpose Outcomes following mechanical thrombectomy (MT) are strongly correlated with successful recanalization, traditionally defined as modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) ≥2b. This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare the outcomes of patients with low Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS; 2–5) who achieved mTICI 2b versus those who achieved mTICI 2c/3 after MT.Methods This study utilized data from the Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry (STAR), which combined databases from 32 thrombectomy-capable stroke centers between 2013 and 2023. The study included only patients with low ASPECTS who achieved mTICI 2b, 2c, or 3 after MT for internal carotid artery or middle cerebral artery (M1) stroke.Results Of the 10,229 patients who underwent MT, 234 met the inclusion criteria. Of those, 98 (41.9%) achieved mTICI 2b, and 136 (58.1%) achieved mTICI 2c/3. There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups. The 90-day favorable outcome (modified Rankin Scale score: 0–3) was significantly better in the mTICI 2c/3 group than in the mTICI 2b group (adjusted odds ratio 2.35; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.18–4.81; P=0.02). Binomial logistic regression revealed that achieving mTICI 2c/3 was significantly associated with higher odds of a favorable 90-day outcome (odds ratio 2.14; 95% CI 1.07–4.41; P=0.04).Conclusion In patients with low ASPECTS, achieving an mTICI 2c/3 score after MT is associated with a more favorable 90-day outcome. These findings suggest that mTICI 2c/3 is a better target for MT than mTICI 2b in patients with low ASPECTS.

Inflation synchronisation strengthening in Europe in post-quantitative easing and post-pandemic high inflation times: consequences for single monetary policy management
Authors: Budová Jana , Šuliková Veronika , Siničáková Marianna
Published: January 2024

This paper aims to find out whether the inflation rates of individual European Union (EU) countries are synchronised with those of the EU as a whole and with the euro area (EA). Another objective is to examine the mutual inflation interconnections and its synchronisation across countries. We use the Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) and cross-correlations (C-C). Based on structural break tests, the period is divided into four periods: January 2001 - December 2008, January 2009 - March 2015, April 2015 - July 2021, August 2021 - April 2023. The results showed that the direction of the inflation transmission is not the same across the periods under study. Before the financial and economic crisis, Estonian inflation influenced Lithuanian inflation, which in turn influenced the Latvian one; while after the crisis (but just before the application of the ECB's quantitative easing) Latvian inflation is already influenced by Bulgarian inflation. Once quantitative easing had already been applied but in times before the ‘high inflation’ period, the inflation in Lithuania has no impact on the Latvian one. During the ‘high inflation’ period, results conclude the impact of Latvian inflation on the Estonian one. We also point out that inflation rates in some states are not always aligned with average inflation in the EU, the EA. Although, MST results showed that inflation is transmitted mainly from the EA average or the EA countries, having a more central position (e.g. Slovakia has generally a more central position than the Czech Republic, Hungary, or Poland). Therefore, countries having common monetary policy are more resistant to external inflation shocks and rather influence the inflation of other countries. Finally, even if inflation rates are synchronised, inflation may be outpaced or lagged by one to several months, which may present policymakers with the question of the appropriate monetary policy stance.

Los Principios éticos y bioéticos que rigen los cuidados de enfermería desde una perspectiva de los estudios de género, posicionan claramente a la enfermería en una ayuda desde la ética del cuidado a las mujeres víctimas de violencia de género, desde esta perspectiva  “Las enfermeras tienen la obligación de preservar, respetar y promover activamente los derechos de todas las personas a la salud, en todo momento y lugar. Este derecho incluye la obligación de cerciorarse de que se prestan los cuidados adecuados según los recursos disponibles y de conformidad con la ética de enfermería. Así mismo la enfermera está obligada a asegurarse de que las personas-pacientes reciben información adecuada en palabras comprensibles antes de dar su consentimiento al tratamiento, a los procedimientos, a su participación en una investigación”

Bajo el paradigma de la ética del cuidado la enfermera deberá mostrar:

Empatía para comprender y entender las demandas de las mujeres. Responsabilidad para implicarse en la salud de las mujeres.  Habilidades técnicas para prevención y detección precoz de la violencia de género.  Integridad moral (inherente a la profesión). Ser consciente de la labor asistencial, estar preparada para el abordaje psicológico, social y de género de las mujeres. Para poder transformar la violencia que sufren las mujeres, es decir, el maltrato real y simbólico, debemos estar dispuestas a asumir el compromiso siguiente:

No puede haber neutralidad ante el sufrimiento de las víctimas –la mujer, sus hijos e hijas. Para ofrecer una relación de ayuda a las mujeres víctimas los y las profesionales tenemos que estar convencidas y dispuestas a realizar un “trabajo” hacia un cambio personal.

Investor’s specific needs plays a major role of determining a portfolio choice of an investment portfolio composed of a single or multiple assets that an investor chooses within a certain period of time. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of investor’s Investment Avenues on individual portfolio choice at the Nairobi securities exchange and to investigate the moderating effect of investor’s age on the correlation investor’s Investment Avenues and individual portfolio choice at the Nairobi securities exchange. A descriptive research design was used for collecting data for the variables under study for up to a period of twenty years from January, 2013 to December, 2017. The population of study was made up of individual investors estimated at 2.4 million as at 31st December 2017 based on Central Depository and Settlement Corporation Limited (CDSC). A target population of 997,605 active retail investors who also form the accessible population at Nairobi securities exchange (NSE) were used to draw a sample size of 385 active individual retail investors. Both stratified and convenience sampling was used to draw the needed number of respondents. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data whereby drop and pick approach was used. Pilot testing of the instruments was performed to assess its reliability. Further, multiple regression techniques were used to analyze the data. The study findings revealed that investor’s Investment Avenues have a positive and significant effect on individual portfolio choice at NSE, Kenya. As such a unit increase in a predictor variable leads to an increase in individual portfolio choice through investment in stocks. Further, the results of the study indicated that age moderate the relationship between investor’s Investment Avenues and individual portfolio choice. The study would be beneficial to investment banks and brokerage firms in policy formulation to assist individual investors in their portfolio choices and also to the academicians to advance the conceptual arguments of the moderating effect of age on the relationship between investor’s Investment Avenues and individual portfolio choice at NSE, Kenya.

This study aims to describe the implementation of e-government with explains the quality of information on the West Bandung Regency Government website. The quality of information on e-government websites has an important role because it will have a broad impact on society. Information submitted by official government channels will be considered valid by the public, so that if the information submitted is incorrect it will result in reduced public trust in the government. Based on the results of observations on website content, the implementation of e-government in West Bandung Regency can be categorized in the presence (informative) stage towards the interactive stage. As stated by Baum & Maio (2000), this stage indicates that the Bendung Barat website is still limited to providing static information, and has not provided space for the public to interact online with government elements. The results of this study conclude that in general the quality of information on the West Bandung Regency Government website is quite good. Weaknesses that can reduce the value of the quality of information exist in the dimensions of the completeness of the information, namely the existence of several links that lead to blank pages. The recommendation given from the results of this study is to increase improvement efforts so that all menus and links contained on the website can be completed with relevant information, so that users can obtain complete and accurate information. This study describes empirical phenomena related to the quality of information using 5 (five) dimensions of measurement. For researchers who wish to continue this research, they can expand the area of study by measuring using a wider dimension of information quality
THE GAMBIA-TAIWAN RELATIONS, 1995-2013: YAHYA JAMMEH’S FOREİGN POLICY RATIONALITY
Authors: Lenn Muhammed
Published: January 2024

One of Yahya Jammeh’s most consequential diplomatic relations was with the Republic of China on Taiwan (Taiwan). Although Jammeh’s decision to have diplomatic relations with Taiwan immediately brought US $35 million to the Junta in 1995, it has been criticised by politicians and policy makers for being irrational. However, there has been neither an attempt to document the benefits derived from the relationship nor the rationality that justified the relationship. This paper attempts to explain the rationality of Jammeh’s foreign policy and to document the benefits derived. The paper adopted rationality as a theoretical framework. The review of over 150 reports as the main source of data revealed that while loans and aid in cash from China between 1974-1994 was approximately $50,000,000, Taiwan’s cash and cheque donations was estimated at $398,658,655 between 1995-2012. The paper thus concluded that Jammeh’s foreign policy on Taiwan was procedurally and economically rational considering Taiwan’s numerous contributions to education, health and agriculture amongst others.
The Role of the Albanian Media as Mediator and Creator of Collective Memory
Authors: Cupi Deniz
Published: January 2024

Media plays a crucial role in the development and preservation of collective memory. Each social group constructs a memory package from its past, emphasizing its uniqueness and passing it on to future generations. As a creator of social constructs, the media has a primary role in shaping and building collective memory. Monitoring television, online platforms, and social networks reveals that the media aims to create new perspectives on history by constructing framework packages, focusing on diagnosing the past, and building understandings of the present. Another analyzed aspect is the musealization of memory, where the media treats stories as museum objects, illustrating the values of a bygone era. Through the notion of the small screen as a historical eye, television creates its own self-memory. Analysis of memory narratives indicates that nostalgia and drama are essential tools for their marketing. The analysis of this discourse leads us to the idea of "media as part of history."

New Hybrid Models of Multivariate Volatility (a Bayesian Perspective)
Authors: Osiewalski Jacek
Published: January 2024

In the case of a large portfolio, the existing models of time-varying multivariate volatility are either too simple from the financial perspective or too complex from the numerical angle. Thus, in the paper a new hybrid class of models for n-variate financial time series is proposed. The hybrid specifications are based on two simple structures: the stochastic discount factor model (SDF) from the MSV class and the scalar BEKK(1,1) model from the MGARCH class. Type I and II hybrid models are defined; both allow for different dynamics of each conditional variance or covariance (like BEKK) and keep just one latent process in the conditional covariance matrix in order to describe outliers (like SDF). For the purpose of Bayesian posterior and predictive analyses, the simulation approach based on Gibbs sampling is proposed and approximations unavoidable in the case of large n are suggested.
Prosta metoda doboru zestawu nakładów w modelach DEA
Authors: Guzik Bogusław
Published: January 2024

The article concerns the problem of selecting inputs in DEA models. The author suggests the input significance condition for Data Envelopment Analysis models which is based on the response of rank indicators in SE-CCR model to reducing or extending the list of inputs. The author assumes that a given input is significant if this response is considerable and isn’t significant if the reaction is inconsiderable. Examples of the response characteristics are provided. Maximum of rank indicator differences is the main characteristic. The author discusses the problem of changes of rank indicators when extending (reducing) the list of inputs.
Zastosowania panelowych modeli dynamicznych w badaniach mikroekonomicznych i makroekonomicznych
Authors: Dańska-Borsiak Barbara
Published: January 2024

Econometric models based on panel data, in which the presence of unobservable, constant over time, group-specific effects is assumed are called panel data models. The constancy over time of the group effects causes some methodological complications in the case of dynamic models. In this paper the main ideas of the two methods, which are most often used for estimation of dynamic panel data models are presented. The methods are: first-differenced GMM and system GMM. The main goal of this paper is to present some examples of applications of dynamic panel data models in micro and macroeconomic analyses. Special interest is in showing the consequences of using different methods according to the type of data – macro or micro.
Postulat koincydencji nakładów i rezultatów w badaniach empirycznych DEA
Authors: Guzik Bogusław
Published: January 2024

The article shows that the selection of input and output variables to DEA models should be based on methodological postulates. Particularly, the author formulates and justifies the postulate of intput and output coincidence, which means that direction of change in input variable shoud be consistent with direction of change in output variable. Four measures of coincendence are provided: the measure of strong and weak order coincidence and strong and weak correlation coincidence.
