The Effect of Intraoperative Music on Sedation, Anxiety, and Hemodynamic Responses among Patients Undergoing Lower Segment Cesarean Section under Spinal Anesthesia
Authors: Kaur Harpreet , Shukla Veena , Singhal Ruby , Harsh Harsh K. , Pareek Ravi
Published: March 2024

Background and Aim:

Anxiety levels are high in spinal anesthesia as patients are awake. Sedation has an advantage that patients feel comfortable but if sedative drugs are not used judiciously, they can suppress the cardiovascular and respiratory system, lower core body temperature, or severely lower blood pressure. Music reduces awareness under anesthesia and has antianxiety effects. The effect of music on sedation using bispectral index (BIS) along with anxiety and hemodynamic parameters at different time intervals has been studied.

Material and Methods:

A hospital-based prospective randomized interventional study was done on 60 patients aged between 18 and 35 years undergoing lower segment cesarean sections. Two groups (music headphones with music and nonmusic headphones without music), each containing 30 subjects, were formed using a simple random technique by the sealed envelope method. The levels of sedation using BIS were measured preoperatively, after giving spinal anesthesia, then every 10 min till the end of surgery. Moreover, hemodynamic parameters were also monitored and recorded preoperatively and every 10 min till the end of surgery. Anxiety was measured using a visual analog score for anxiety preoperatively and postoperatively.

Results:

The BIS index was significantly lower in the music group compared to the nonmusic group from 20 min after start of surgery to the end of surgery (86.17 ± 4.48 vs. 75.73 ± 3.97, P < 0.001). Anxiety was also significantly lower in the music group than in the nonmusic group (4.03 ± 1.47 vs. 0.50 ± 1.57, P < 0.005). Heart rate (HR) was lower in the music group after 20 min of music therapy compared to the nonmusic group (87.87 ± 11.21 vs. 79.67 ± 6.67, P = 0.004) but there was no statistically significant difference in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure, and saturation of oxygen between two groups.

Conclusion:

Our data showed that intraoperative music listening under regional anesthesia has effect on sedation, anxiety, and physiological variables. Therefore, music therapy can be used as nonpharmacological intervention for reducing anxiety and sedation during surgery.
Crystalloid Preloading versus Prophylactic Ephedrine Infusion for Prevention of Hypotension during Caesarean Section
Authors: Sathyavrdhan Gaurav S. , Kamath Shaila S.
Published: March 2024

Context:

Central neuraxial blockade is widely practiced in obstetric anesthesia. The prevention of maternal systemic hypotension is of importance.

Aim:

To compare between crystalloid preloading and prophylactic intravenous ephedrine in the prevention of maternal systemic hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section.

Settings and Design:

Study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital; comparative observational study.

Methods and Materials:

One hundred fifty six healthy parturients, posted for elective cesarean section. The parturients who were preloaded with 10 mL/kg of Ringer Lactate over 20 minutes before spinal anesthesia by treating anesthesiologist were included in Group P. Parturients were administered prophylactic ephedrine 0.125 mg/kg infusion after spinal anesthesia at the onset of sympathetic block by treating anesthesiologist were included in Group E.

Statistical Analysis Used:

Data were entered in Microsoft excel and analyzed using SPSS software version 25 (IBM).

Results:

In our study, we found that fall in blood pressure was statistically significant from fourth to 14th minute in Group P compared to Group E. The mean arterial pressure became significantly low in Group P compared to Group E. Heart rate was found to increase in Group P from second minute compared to sixth minute in Group E. Fetal wellbeing assessed by appearance (colour), pulse, grimace (response to touch), activity (tone) and respiration (APGAR) score was better in Group E compared to Group P and was statistically significant. Nausea and vomiting were more in Group P compared to Group E and was statistically significant.

Conclusions:

We conclude that prophylactic ephedrine infusion has better control over maternal hemodynamic than crystalloid preloading in cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.

Promoting Resilient Outcomes among Internationally Adopted Children from Child Care Institutes: Role of The Life Story
Authors: Malhi Prahbhjot , Bharti Bhavneet
Published: March 2024

Objective:

The objective of this study was to examine the role of the life story in three cases of internationally adopted children in promoting resilient outcomes among these children.

Methodology:

The pediatric adoption clinic in the department of pediatrics in a tertiary care center facilitates the adoption of children from Government Run Child Care Institutes. The qualitative narrative methodology was used to explore how international adoptive families navigate the adoption process to improve and enhance the probability of optimal adoption outcomes. Descriptions of the qualitative interviews and discussions regarding the families’ experiences and struggles of procuring information and personal stories of the adopting children from India are presented. Verbal consent was taken from all the parents.

Results:

The Indian Adoption Regulations of 2017 allows for documentation and permission for sharing memory albums and interests of the child with the adoptive families. However, there are instances where the child care institutes do not maintain any records and have little to share with the families leading to feelings of grief and loss postadoption among internationally adopted children. The three families interviewed expressed a desire to maintain an association with the child’s culture and sought guidance on how they could help their adoptive children develop an ethnic identity that supports their psychological well-being. Maintaining records and chronicling the child’s biographic preadoption history is one way to help children to understand their personal stories and develop a stable identity.

Conclusions:

Adoption agencies and associated professionals should encourage and facilitate all activities that enhance attachment and creates emotional bonds between adoptive parents and the adoptees.
A Crosssectional Observational Research on Assessment of Patterns of Discharge Medications in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Associated with Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension
Authors: Sajan Cyril , Saggu Varunsingh , Nair Jitin , Trivedi Krunal , Hadia Rajesh , Rajput Hemraj Singh
Published: March 2024

Background:

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), also known as chronic renal insufficiency, progressive kidney deterioration, or nephropathy, is an illness, in which the kidneys fail to function properly. When prescription and over-the-counter medications are combined, the risk of adverse drug reactions and interactions increases, which are the main causes of hospitalizations and mortality. The aims and strategies for reducing the incidence, morbidity, mortality, and health costs of CKD in India are outlined in this new chapter.

Aim:

A cross-sectional observational study to estimate the pattern of discharge prescription pattern in patients of CKD associated with hypertension and diabetes mellitus.

Methodology:

100 patients with CKD and comorbidities of hypertension, diabetes, or both were included in observational cross-sectional research done at the Nephrology Department of Dhiraj Hospital. The laboratory findings, as well as their comorbidity, discharge prescription medicines, and comorbidity, were all documented and examined.

Results:

Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) were the most often recommended antihypertensive medication for hypertensive patients with CKD. Diuretics were the least often given class of antihypertensive medicine. In antidiabetic medication, class sulfonylurea and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors had similar prescription rates which are the highest prescribing medication for diabetes mellitus with CKD. Biguanides were the least prescribed class of drugs.

Conclusion:

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers are widely used to treat hypertensive patients with CKD; but due to chances of arrhythmia, CCBs are prescribed. This research might aid in the identification of educational and quality-improvement opportunities to minimize medication-related errors and increase benefits in this population.

Published: March 2024

Objective: This research aims to ascertain the differences in improving students' English-speaking skills through using learning media and mastering proficiency in discourse markers. Method: This research uses a quantitative approach and experimental design. The design used the non-equivalent 2 x 3 factorial design. The research sample consisted of 1000 Madrasah Aliyah students in Serang Regency. However, in this study, only 10% of the population 100 was sampled using systematic random sampling techniques. The instruments used to collect data include speaking and discourse marker tests. We analyzed the research data using two-way ANOVA statistics with SPSS 26.   Results:  The results of this research are grouped into four research findings, namely (1) differences in students' speaking abilities between students who were treated using the learning media Scrabble Word and flashcards, (2) differences in students' speaking abilities with high, medium and low mastery of students' discourse markers, (3) an interaction between learning media and high, medium, and low students' mastery of discourse markers on students' speaking abilities, and (4) differences in mastery of discourse markers based on students' gender, from the average of pre-test and post-test. Novelty: This research is intriguing due to variations from prior studies in emphasis, subjects, outcomes, gender disparities in mastery of discourse markers, and incorporation of research variables. Previous studies concentrated solely on utilizing Scrabble words and flashcards to enhance vocabulary and students' reading abilities. Prior research only examined one research variable, specifically scrabble words, flashcards, and discourse markers.

Iron Absorption and its Influencing Factors to Prevent Iron Deficiency
Authors: Dilantika Charisma
Published: March 2024

Iron is an important nutrient, required to support tissue oxygen delivery, cell growth and differentiation regulation, and energy metabolism. Body iron levels are mainly controlled by regulation of iron absorption in duodenum and proximal jejunum, allowing absorption to be accurately matched to unregulated losses. Since iron bioavailability often reduced, dietary iron absorption is controlled by cellular and systemic factors to ensure that overall body iron levels are maintained at adequate levels. A better understanding of the mechanism for iron absorption and factors influencing its absorption and bioavailability is important to avoid iron deficiency or iron overload. There are complex regulatory frameworks managing iron absorption, transportation, storage, and recycling. It is able to provide enough iron for critical body functions and react relatively quickly as iron demands increase, but mechanisms must also be in place to restrict iron absorption once the body is overwhelmed with iron. Several factors promote and impede iron absorption, such as phytate and ascorbic acid, respectively. The danger of iron deficiency for the world's population is of great significance, it is important to introduce effective strategies to tackle this issue through nutrition programs; food iron supplements; iron medication supplements; and probiotic, prebiotic, and symbiotic approaches.

Authors: Felim William , Sitinjak Tony
Published: March 2024

This study aims to investigate the effect of marketing mix on the decision process to purchase transportation services at PT. MGD. This study uses product, price, place, and promotion as independent variables and the decision process variable to purchase PT. MGD's transportation services as the dependent variable. The authors expect that independent variables significantly influence the dependent variable. By using α of 5 percent, the study found that product and place significantly impacted the purchasing decision process of PT. MGD's transportation services. While α increased to 10%, all independent variables significantly impacted the dependent variable. Further research can utilize additional variables because the independent variables used in this study can only explain 53.10% of the purchasing decision process. Other variables explain 46.9 % of it.

Abstract : This study investigates the association between socio-demographic factors and infant child (0-1 year) malnutrition defined by underweight, stunting and wasting, in rural areas, Bangladesh. Survey data, Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) 2019 executed by UNICEF and Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), is used in the study. The percentage of undernutrition is 17.08% for underweight out of 3571 sample, 18% for stunted out of 3504 sample, 9.8% for wasted out of 3470 sample with omitting missing value. Statistical methods, ANOVA, chi-square test and sampling weighted logistic regression model, are used to figure out impact of individual socio-demographic factors on child malnutrition. The variables gender, receiving prenatal care, delivery place, parents education, wealth index, child weight at birth, geographical division, and women age group at birth, are significantly associated with malnourished children (P-value: 1%, 5% or 10%). Odds of being malnutrition is lower among female children, educated parents and rich family. Prevalence of child underweight is higher among mother physical disability, childbirth weight. The undernutrition, stunting and wasting, are highly likely among the children of disabled mother. The presence of underweight and wasting is higher in Sylhet Division, lower in Mymenshingh Division respectively, while the prevalence of stunting is higher in Mymenshingh, Rajshahi, Rangpur and Sylhhet Division.

Published: March 2024

In 2012 and 2013, observational surveys from seismic vessels were conducted to evaluate the abundance and composition of floating marine debris (FMD) in the east of Tierra del Fuego (TDF), Argentina, and the Brazil/Malvinas Confluence zone (BMC), respectively. The mean abundance of FMD varied significantly between sampled ecosystems, with higher loads in TDF (mean abundance = 6.15 ± 8.84 items) when compared to BMC (3.31 ± 6.83 items). Plastics dominated the composition of FMD at both ecosystems (> 80%), followed by foamed plastics. Within the plastic category, bags were the most abundant item, followed by wrappers, and bottles, among others. According to its color, white/clear, and multicolor debris were the most abundant. The main presumed source of FMD was domestic activities, followed by fisheries-related, and construction. This is the first study demonstrating the utility of using seismic vessels as a platform for monitoring FMD in waters within the Argentine continental shelf and adjacent waters.

Análise espaço-temporal da modificação da linha de costa do município de Aquiraz-CE
Authors: De Souza Paula Rodrigo , Sopchaki Carlos Henrique
Published: March 2024

A Planície Costeira é um ambiente extremamente dinâmico com formações geológicas recentes. Esta configuração geomorfológica é bastante suscetível às influências de processos costeiros naturais e de fatores antrópicos que alteram o balanço sedimentar, provocando de forma direta ou indireta, processos erosivos e deposicionais que causam diversas consequências socioambientais e econômicas. Após os anos 1970 no município de Aquiraz/CE, o veraneio, associado à ocupação desordenada dos ambientes de zona de praia, pós-praia, campo de dunas e na ponta rochosa da Praia do Iguape acarretou em problemas na morfodinâmica da área, principalmente em razão da erosão costeira. Esta pesquisa tem o objetivo principal de analisar a evolução espaço-temporal dos componentes de praia e pós-praia do município de Aquiraz entre os anos de 2015 e 2022, através de técnicas de geoprocessamento e produtos de sensoriamento remoto. Foram utilizados produtos de sensores remotos da família Planet para os anos de 2015 a 2022. Após esta etapa, as imagens foram tratadas no software ArcGIS 10.5 e, posteriormente, foi utilizada a extensão Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS), desenvolvida pelo United States Geological Survey (USGS), com o intuito de realizar análises quantitativas dos níveis de erosão e deposição na área escolhida, sendo necessário para isso estabelecer a linha de costa do local nos recortes temporais estabelecidos. A partir dos elementos encontrados, foi constatado que cerca de 59% da área estudada encontra-se em algum estágio de erosão.

operacionalização das noções bourdieusianas de habitus e campo na educação profissional e tecnológica
Authors: Corrêa Filho Itamar de Oliveira , Paixão Jairo Antônio da
Published: March 2024

Pierre Bourdieu concebia o sistema escolar como um ambiente de exaltação da democracia, mas que na prática, privilegiava os mais favorecidos e desfavorecia os mais necessitados, tornando a escola um espaço de reprodução e de conservação social. As suas noções de habitus e campo auxiliam os pesquisadores na investigação das desigualdades sociais e escolares e na construção de novos campos de pesquisa. O objetivo do artigo foi analisar como as noções de campo e de habitus poderiam ser operacionalizadas na educação profissional e tecnológica, estabelecendo o IF Sudeste MG como um campo de pesquisa bourdieusiano e os processos de escolha do estabelecimento de ensino e dos cursos técnicos como temáticas de distinção e de desigualdades sociais. Para isso, metodologicamente, adotou-se a revisão de literatura e a pesquisa documental. Concluiu-se que a noção operacionalizada de campo permitiu entender como as dez unidades do IF Sudeste MG, mesmo possuindo objetivos em comum, estabeleceram lutas e relações de dominação dentro da própria organização, visando atrair novos alunos para o seu estabelecimento de ensino e para os cursos ofertados. A noção operacionalizada de habitus para a escolha do estabelecimento demonstrou que a origem social do estudante irá direcionar as estratégias familiares para aquelas mais ou menos arriscadas de acordo com o habitus constituído e com os níveis de capitais acumulados e para a escolha dos cursos técnicos, estes não serão definidos a partir de todas as opções disponíveis no sistema educacional, mas sim orientada pelas condições do seu meio social de origem.
Práticas escolares na Escola Parque de Brasília nas colunas da jornalista Yvonne Jean (1962-1963)
Authors: Tuchinski dos Anjos Juarez José
Published: March 2024

O artigo tem por objetivo analisar algumas práticas escolares da Escola Parque de Brasília conforme narradas nas colunas da jornalista Yvonne Jean no jornal Correio Braziliense entre os anos de 1962 e 1963. Metodologicamente, consultaram-se as edições do jornal disponíveis na Hemeroteca Digital da Biblioteca Nacional, com a busca pela palavra-chave: “Yvonne Jean”, recortando-se, para esse estudo, as informações relativas a três tipos de práticas escolares descritas pela jornalista: as práticas de leitura; as festas escolares e a educação artística. Sobre as práticas de leitura, foi possível apurar o modo como as professoras visavam desenvolver o hábito da leitura nos estudantes da Escola Parque, no que, segundo Yvonne Jean, estavam obtendo algum sucesso, dado à procura maciça de livros na Biblioteca da instituição por parte dos escolares, a reclamar, inclusive, um reforço do acervo colocado à disposição dos jovens leitores. Já sobre as festas escolares, observaram-se distintos usos dessas comemorações por parte da comunidade escolar: ora para despertar valores patrióticos e cívicos, como no caso das comemorações da Semana da Pátria, ora para dar visibilidade e propagandear entre a comunidade os resultados alcançados com o tipo de educação ministrado na Escola Parque de Brasília. No que toca às práticas de educação artística, apurou-se que estas, baseadas nos princípios de liberdade de expressão infantil, vinham resultando em criações e inovações nas culturas escolares da Escola Parque, ainda que nem sempre possa ter havido consenso sobre o que seria a liberdade de expressão e a arte moderna que esta devia produzir.

Authors:   Society for Jeju Studies, k B. Nandintuya , Shin Hyo-Joo , Moon Hyeon-Sik , Kim Min-Ho
Published: March 2024

This study sought to examine the problem that Korea's bilingual education policy is limited to international marriage families. We investigated how international marriage families, as well as parents of foreign workers and international students, provide bilingual education to their children, what difficulties they face, and what meaning they give to bilingual education. For this purpose, interviews were conducted with parents of four families with Mongolian immigrant background living in Jeju, and a total of four themes and nine subthemes were derived. We confirmed the diversity of bilingual education environments, the contrast in attitudes toward bilingual education, the limitations of bilingual learning resources, and the conflicting meanings of bilingual education. Through this, we confirmed that children with a Mongolian immigrant background can successfully complete bilingual education in Jeju. In addition to parent education, the community and government should further expand bilingual education opportunities from the perspective of multiculturalism, and residents and immigrants should cultivate an attitude of equal exchange and communication from the perspective of interculturalism.
Socioeconomic Changes in Jeju Island as Seen Through Refugees
Authors:   Society for Jeju Studies, Kim Chi-wan
Published: March 2024

Through out our history, Jeju has long been neglected as an alienated borderland. The paradoxical occurrence of residents fleeing to the mainland or affiliated islands, despite the establishment of a new dynasty advocating a strong centralized regime that reclaimed autonomy, was attributed to issues such as double exploitation. In this context, before the emergence of the 2018 Yemeni refugee crisis, Jeju Island had already experienced the refugee issue within our society. The influx of “refugees” to Jeju during the restructuring process of our social system by neoliberalism following the 1990s financial crisis can be understood in a similar context. This study examines the refugee issue and the socioeconomic changes in Jeju Island, focusing on the themes of border islands, mutual economic development, and peaceful settlement. Jeju, being the oldest border island in our country, holds a rich history of mutual economic development with the mainland. Additionally, the unresolved Jeju 4.3 incident is associated with the concept of “Peace” as a potential solution. Despite facing a situation where Jeju lacks support from the mainland, it paradoxically possesses geopolitical and historical foundations that attract international attention. However, sustaining an economy without mainland support or relations is practically impossible, and unilateral policy approaches from the mainland do not yield the expected outcomes. Consequently, economic support policies for border islands and peace settlement policies should prioritize effective support and agreements based on historical context.

Sweden has positioned itself internationally as a forerunner of sustainable energy technologies (even at the household level) and progressive climate policies in line with the Paris Agreement (Ring et al 2022). Simultaneously Sweden is globally known as an advocate of gender equality and welfare proudly discussed in state policies as well as wider societal discourses (Arora Jonsson 2009). Historically this is the image of Sweden irrespective of political affiliations (be it the Social Democrats or Conservatives) the governments have tried to present to the outside world. In this context we conduct a critical analysis of Sweden’s Integrated Energy and Climate Plan or 1The National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), an externally facing key document at EU level for communicating these issues, through an energy user’s perspective adopting a social/gender justice lens. How is such image of Sweden as champion of gender equality and promoter of welfare policies holding when digging deep into a key document of this kind?

We present "E-shopaholic," an innovative e-commerce platform that integrates advanced automation techniques to optimize the online shopping experience. "E-shopaholic" exploits automation to address challenges of traditional e-commerce systems, particularly in order-picking. Leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT), "E-shopaholic" employs a NodeMCU ESP8266 module and a servo motor to simulate the picking and placing of products, aiming to contribute to the evolution of efficient e-commerce operations through automation. The platform, with its real-time automated order processing and updates, aims to enhance operational efficiency by lowering order processing times, increasing accuracy, and improving the overall order fetching process. The system design and implementation are discussed in detail, highlighting the potential of IoT and automation to transform e-commerce practices. "E-shopaholic" serves as a proof of concept for scalable and cost-effective solutions in the e-commerce sector, suggesting a path forward for research and development in automated systems.

Published: March 2024

Since the beginning of the First Industrial Revolution (Industry 1.0), humans have realized the potential of technology as a tool for sustainable progress from time to time. During the Second Industrial Revolution (Industry 2.0), manufacturers began to switch to using electricity for assembly lines and mass production, which started in the 1870s. Then, with the application of electronic and information technology (IT), the concept of automation in the manufacturing industry was introduced during the Third Industrial Revolution (Industry 3.0) in the 1970s. In the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0), the rapid progress of digital technology has changed the industrial world significantly, giving birth to what is called Industry 4.0. At this time human nature is increasingly complex in adapting to rapid change. However, along with advances in technology, new challenges have emerged in managing human resources effectively. Along with the Industrial Revolution, a new concept emerged known as Society 5.0, which encourages the integration of technology and social life outside of society. In the Society 5.0 era, society is expected to be able to quickly adapt to technological advances while maintaining human dignity in their professional lives. Therefore, it is important to understand how human evolution can adapt to this new paradigm. This research aims to explore the development of human resources in the context of the transition from Industry 4.0 to Society 5.0. This research uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) research method, which explores the development of human resources in facing the era of society 5.0, which is then prepared as a basis for determining strategic management of human resources using the PRISMA pattern. The research results show that there are implications for human resource management, organizational leadership, and job development in facing the challenges of Industry 4.0 and maximizing the opportunities provided by Society 5.0.

The lockdown period has led to a decline in physical activity and fitness among students with increasingly embraced sedentary behaviour. This study aimed to assess the physical activity (PA) level and health-related fitness (HRF) status of students according to sex and academic strand, also determining whether significant differences existed. The study was conducted in a large public high school responding to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Long Form (IPAQ) and the Philippine Physical Fitness Test. The study employed a descriptive-comparative research design and employed stratified random sampling with proportional allocation. The students demonstrated a moderate PA level, regardless of sex and academic strand. Regarding health-related fitness, most students exhibited normal BMI, excellent strength in the basic plank, good cardiovascular endurance in the 3-minute step test, good flexibility in the zipper test, fair flexibility in the sit and reach test, and poor performance in the push-up. Furthermore, significant differences were found in BMI and strength when grouped by sex. In conclusion, most students maintain moderate physical activity, surpassing local restrictions and avoiding sedentary behaviour. Also, most students have shown muscular endurance and flexibility in various tasks but have yet to focus as much on strengthening their arms and core muscles. The FIT-UP YOU program has been developed to address this issue, focusing on improving weight and overall HRF status among young overweight/obese and underweight students.

Published: March 2024

The aim of this research is to see how financial literacy and use of social media impact entrepreneurial behavior, with self-efficiency as a moderating variable. In this study, the population consisted of students from the economics and business faculties at Surabaya State University. The purposive sample selection method was used to select the sample, which resulted in 44 students as the sample. The research tool used in this study was a questionnaire distributed to students involved in faculty-funded ventures. This business lasts for one year and can be done online or offline. This research uses the structural equation model (SEM) hypothesis, which is supported by the partial least squares (PLS) analysis method. The results of this research show that financial literacy influences entrepreneurial behavior, social media use influences entrepreneurial behavior, and the self-efficiency moderating variable cannot strengthen the influence of financial literacy on entrepreneurial behavior, while the self-efficiency moderating variable can strengthen the influence of social media use on entrepreneurial behavior.
