Authors: Rahooja Kubbra , Kumar Rajesh , Sial Jawaid Akbar , Karim Musa
Published: November 2022

Objectives: The acute hyperglycemia on admission is considered to be in independent prognosticators of both in-hospital and long-term outcome regardless of diabetic status in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The objective of this study was to analyse the incidence of acute hyperglycemia and its impact on subsequent adverse in-hospital outcome, irrespective of diabetic status, in patients with STE-ACS undergoing primary PCI.

Methodology: A total of 1756 patients were enrolled into the study, presenting with STE-ACS, and undergoing primary PCI at a tertiary care cardiac centre. Patients were categorised according to their random plasma glucose levels, at the time of presentation to ER, with RBS > 200mg/dl taken as acute hyperglycemia. All patients were observed during their hospital stay and post procedure complications and outcomes were recoded. Clinical profile and outcomes were compared between the two groups. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the predictive value of acute hyperglycemia for the prediction of in-hospital mortality.

Results: Of the 1756 patients, 79% (1388) were males and mean age was 55.59±11.23 years. In total, 29% (512) were found to have acute hyperglycemia and of these, 81.1% (415) were already diagnosed diabetic cases. Patients with acute hyperglycemia were observed to have higher incidence of heart failure (7% vs. 2.6%; p<0.001), CIN (13.3% vs. 8.1%; p=0.001), and in-hospital mortality (7.2% vs. 1.9%; p<0.001). On multivariable analysis, acute hyperglycemia was found to be an independent predictor of mortality with adjust OR of 2.33 [95% CI: 1.18-4.58; p=0.014]. Multi-vessel disease (2.22 [95%CI: 1.07-4.58; p=0.032]), pre-procedure LVEDP (1.07 [95%CI: 1.02-1.12; p=0.003]), and history of CVA/stroke (3.73 [95% CI: 1.2-11.59; p=0.023]) were found to be additional independent predictor of in-hospital mortality.

Conclusion: The acute hyperglycemia, regardless of diabetic status, is found to be an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality among patients with STE-ACS undergoing primary PCI. Acute hyperglycemia, along with other significant predictors such as multi-vessel involvement, LVEDP, and history of CVA/stroke, can be considered for the risk stratification of these patients.

Objectives: To date, no optimal way of organizing and delivering care to hypertensive patients at the primary care level has been identified, due to which a significant number of patients fail to meet the treatment goals. The current study aimed to observe hypertension educational intervention's effect on general physicians (GPs) to indirectly improve blood pressure control and patient outcomes.

Methodology: In this randomized control trial, GPs were divided into 2 groups, and both groups were asked to fill hypertension awareness questionnaire at baseline and after randomization. GPs of the group I received (1 day) face-to-face education with structured educational material on hypertension management strategies. GPs of group II received the print version of educational material (structured educational material) on strategies for structured hypertension management. Both GPs recruited 10 (5 newly diagnosed + 5 already diagnosed patients) from the study site. The patient was asked to fill hypertension awareness questionnaire at baseline and share a 12-hour blood pressure measurement. GPs and patients were reassessed after 3 months of intervention.

Results: The Primary endpoint was achieved successfully, i.e., significant change between Pre & Post change blood pressure control. Both the Secondary endpoints were met with a notable change in practice specific to hypertension management as well as knowledge enhancement among GPs and patients regarding hypertension management.

Conclusion: The overall effect of hypertension educational intervention for general physicians has indirectly improved blood pressure control and patient outcomes. The results of this study provide a foundation for developing a hypertension educational program targeted at general physicians.
How does cultural capital influence the school choice of rural and urban migrant families in Nanjing, China? Evidence from a survey study
Authors:   University of Auckland, Yang Liuning
Published: November 2022

Across China, the household registration (hukou) policy has restricted the school admission of rural–urban migrant children in urban areas. In 2017, the Nanjing government issued the Tenants Have the Same Right as Householders (THSRH) policy to allow tenants in urban areas access to public-school resources. However, what the migrant children have experienced in and after negotiating access to these schools deserves serious attention from educators, scholars and policymakers. This study surveyed 186 rural–urban migrant parents in Nanjing who chose to send their children to junior secondary schools after the implementation of the THSRH policy. The study identified that higher socioeconomic and household status of rural–urban migrants increased their choices for junior secondary schools. However, the study demonstrated that the restriction in the hukou policy is still a dominant factor influencing public-school access. The study highlighted that the interaction of the development of extracurricular abilities and investment in private supplementary tutoring are two main factors that influence the school choices of rural–urban migrant families.

The COVID-19 pandemic created work–life balance, mental health, and well-being challenges for higher education employees, both initially and years later. We investigated staff and faculty self-reported work–life balance and quality of life using the dual continua model of mental health at a medium-size university for 9 months during August 2021 to April 2022. The dual continua model of mental health states that high levels of well-being and psychological distress can co-occur, while a unidimensional model of mental health positions well-being and psychological distress on opposite ends of a unipolar continuum. The dual continua model overlaps with and is broader than the unidimensional model. Based on 299 responses, four groups of staff and faculty (high and low anxiety crossed with high and low life satisfaction) were formed. Consistent with the dual continua and inconsistent with the unidimensional model of mental health, high life satisfaction, regardless of anxiety level, was associated with higher levels of quality of life and work–life balance. Consistent with both the unidimensional and dual continua models, within faculty and staff reporting lower levels of life satisfaction, higher levels of anxiety were associated with lower quality of life and work-life balance. In addition, within the high or low anxious groups, higher life satisfaction was associated with lower levels of depression. Present data represent the only study that builds on previous literature in examining well-being and psychological distress using a dual continua model in staff and faculty at a mid-size university. Overall, present results suggest the dual continua model of mental health better characterizes the relationship of well-being and psychological distress in staff and faculty in a higher education setting than a unidimensional model

Authors: MOSKALEV A. A.
Published: November 2022

The preservation of young animals and their resistance enhancement in the early postnatal period is a significant reserve for increasing the production of livestock products. The article presents the results of studies of the influence of the duration of

keeping calves in individual houses on their natural resistance and state of health. It has been established that during the initial postnatal period, newborn calves retain the state of hyporesponsiveness, which gradually forms with age. Therefore, it is most appropriate to transfer calves from individual houses to group sections after stabilization of the formation of the body’s natural defenses, that is, not earlier than 30 days of age. With the duration of keeping young animals in individual houses for more than 30 days, there were fewer sick calves by 20-40% compared with counterparts who were transferred to group housing at the age of 20 days.

Bayesian Network for Predicting Dustfall in Iraq
Authors: Neamah Ali Fahem , Mahdi Mohammed Ibrahim
Published: November 2022

For the purpose of forecasting meteorological time series, a number of established methodologies have been presented (analog techniques, neural networks, etc.). However, when dealing with multivariate time series that are spread spatially, the aforementioned approaches do not take into consideration all of the information that is accessible. In this research, we tackle the challenge of using Bayesian networks to provide accurate weather predictions. This research aims to offer the Bayesian network (BN) model as a means of estimating dustfall based on atmospheric ensemble forecasts. The following categories of data were collected and analyzed for this study: mean temperature, mean humidity, mean rainfall, mean wind speed, and maximum and lowest dustfall. Between the years 2021 and the beginning of 2022, the Iraqi agency for Meteorology and Seismology collected the data on the weather. The values available are month averages. The structure and parameters of the Bayesian network were learned with the help of these data. Through the use of dynamic Bayesian networks, inference in the Bayesian network was able to assist in anticipating the maximum and minimum dustfall that will occur in the following months. The model demonstrated an overall precision of 75% and 89.0% in predicting the maximum amount of dustfall, respectively.

Published: November 2022

Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) serves as an important cytokine in haematopoiesis; released at both physiological and pathological conditions by a range of cells. We hypothesized that the systemic administration of G-CSF would produce an accelerated fracture-healing rate in non-union bone defects; thus, potentially leading to useful clinical applications. Ten male adult Katjang goats, weighing about 15-26 kilograms were randomly chosen and a tibial bone defect was induced in each animal. The defect was maintained by internal fixation with a titanium plate and reinforced by an external fiberglass cast. Post-operative radiographs were performed twice weekly and radiographic assessments were performed by evaluating the bridging and union measurements through a validated method. In the treatment group, the time for bridging and union exhibited statistically significant differences when compared with a control group. The outcomes of the present study establishing a notion that administration of G-CSF besides inducing haematopoiesis, promotes healing of fractures and non-union bone defects as well.

Authors: Onyekachukwu Mojekwu Tonna
Published: November 2022

Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) consist of a sizable part of genomes and play a crucial role in the function of genes and the organization of the genome. The complete availability of a genome sequence for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) provides the possibility of accomplishing a genome-wide analysis of SSRs in this species. I analyzed the abundance and density of perfect SSRs in the Nile tilapia genome and observed a sum of 252,047 microsatellites with 1–6 bp nucleotide motifs. This indicates that about 2.7 % of the Nile tilapia whole genome sequence (927.77Mb) is made up of perfect SSRs, with an average length of 135.68bp/Mb. The average density and frequency of perfect SSRs were 271.69 loci/Mb and 5834.46 bp/Mb, respectively. The six classes of perfect SSRs proportional distribution within the Nile tilapia genome were not even. Dinucleotide repeats (40.13 %) with a total count of 101145 of an average length of 26.11 bp happen to be the most abundant class of SSRs, while the percentages of mononucleotide, trinucleotide, tetranucleotide, pentanucleotide, and hexanucleotide repeats was 31.88 %, 11.98 %, 11.52 %, 4.22 %, and 0.26 %, accordingly. The various classes of SSRs repeat differ in their number of repeats with the highest being 95. My results indicate that 21 motifs contain the prevalent categories with a frequency above 1 locus/Mb: A, AAC, AAG, AATAG, AATTC, AC, AG, AGAT, AT, ATCT, ATG, ATGG, ATT, ATTT, C, CCT, CTG, CTTT, GT, GTTT.

Published: November 2022

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the readiness of headteachers and teachers in integrating Digital Literacy Programme (DLP) in teaching and learning in public primary schools in Homa Bay County, Kenya. Digital Literacy Programme was a project that was introduced and funded by the Government of Kenya for all public primary schools in Kenya.

Methodology: The study adopted both qualitative and quantitative survey research designs. A population of 845 head teachers and 6529 teachers were involved in the study. Some 85 head teachers and 362 teachers were sampled for the study. Questionnaires and interviews were the main research instruments used for the study. The reliability coefficient for the piloted teachers stood at 0.96 while that of the head teachers’ coefficient was reported at 0.95. The quantitative research data was analyzed using SPSS and presented in tables, frequencies and percentages. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, organized into main themes and reported.

Findings: Majority of the respondents who were teachers, (41.6%), could only write using a digital device. Most head teachers, (34.2%), preferred tablets contrary to the preference of the majority of teachers, 31.4%, who cited desktop computers for online teaching and learning. The study also revealed that the majority of teachers and head teachers felt insecure with the digital devices in schools.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: Introduction of digital learning in the Kenyan education sector did not meet the required threshold but was timely. Challenges were met here and there. Both teachers and headteachers were struggling to cope with the modern teaching and methods that required the integration of technology in the teaching and learning process. However, with continuous practice, the digital gaps were set to close in Kenyan schools. In line with the Kenyan ICT Policy of 2006 on electronic learning, the promotion and development of content to address the educational needs of primary, secondary and tertiary institutions in Kenya needed to be emphasized.

Potencia instituyente de un objeto llamado relato
Authors: Kachinosvky   Alicia
Published: November 2022

Las narrativas o relatos circundantes -privados o públicos, orales o escritos- nos constituyen y humanizan desde muy tempranamente, pero también nos alienan. El propósito del presente artículo radica en ilustrar la potencia instituyente de algunos relatos que tienen cometidos antagónicos: sujetar o emancipar. Se explica qué se entiende por relato y qué tipos de relatos serán motivo de estas líneas. Se adopta una concepción amplia y consensuada del término. Se subraya la importancia del relato como potencial motor de cambio social (efectos en lo colectivo) y cambio psicológico (efectos en lo singular), según lo que se haga con ellos. Se advierte que no todo relato cumple las condiciones para serlo; no todos sirven a los mismos intereses ni a los mismos grupos sociales. Se brindan ejemplos. La conquista de sus formas más elaboradas por los más postergados se propone como un paso imprescindible para combatir la hegemonía de las elites. Se presenta un dispositivo de intervención psicoanalítica con el que se ha trabajado en centros educativos que testimonia la función terapéutica de la literatura infantil y juvenil. El dispositivo se afilia a la hipótesis de la participación del relato en la configuración de la identidad individual y colectiva. En las conclusiones se destaca el impacto transformador producido por la experiencia, derribando etiquetados auto o hetero asignados que ciñen al ser. El derrotero de un texto en este ámbito es el de instituir un lugar posible para la palabra acallada.
Producción escrita argumentativa: Estudio comparativo en estudiantes preuniversitarios pertenecientes a escuelas vulneradas y no vulneradas
Authors: Padilla María Graciela
Published: November 2022

Este artículo tiene como objetivo mostrar los resultados de una investigación en la que se aplicó una secuencia didáctica que promueve la producción escrita argumentativa en estudiantes preuniversitarios. Dicho estudio se llevó a cabo en dos escuelas, una de población vulnerada y de régimen público y otra de gestión privada y de población no vulnerada. La secuencia implementada se elaboró considerando los aportes de diversas disciplinas que conciben el acto de escribir como un proceso cognitivo, social y afectivo, este es el caso del Análisis del Discurso (Maingueneau, 2005; van Dijk, 1997), la Lingüística Cognitiva (Cuenca y Hilferty, 1999), la Psicología Cognitiva (Vigotsky, 1979), la Psicolingüística (De Vega, Cuetos, 1999) y la Teoría de la Enunciación (Benveniste, 1985). El estudio se realizó a partir de una metodología de tipo descriptiva, interpretativa y cuasi experimental con la que se analizó cada texto a la luz de diferentes taxonomías que tienen en cuenta la explicitación o no de la tesis (Golder y Coirier, 1996), el tipo de argumento (Sánchez y Álvarez, 2011) y factores de cohesión y coherencia tanto a nivel local como global, así como la estructura tipológica (Parodi, 2000). Los resultados determinan un fortalecimiento sustancial de las habilidades argumentativas y de la producción textual en ambos grupos experimentales, mientras que los grupos control no sufrieron modificaciones relevantes. Algunas de las conclusiones a las que se arribó tienen que ver con la importancia de desterrar prácticas áulicas tradicionales y dedicar más tiempo a la enseñanza de las tipologías textuales.

E-learning is the most important explosion propelled by the internet transformation. It is the use of technology which enables people to learn anytime and anywhere. While teaching can be based in or out of the classrooms, the use of computers and Internet forms the major component of E-learning. It can be termed as a network enabled transfer of skills and knowledge, and the delivery of education is made to a large number of recipients at the same time. E-learning can offer effective instructional methods, such as practising with associated feedback, combining collaboration activities with self-paced study and personalizing learning paths based on learners’ needs. The focus of E-learning is on both asynchronous and synchronous methodology. It investigates three major E-learning tools which are (i) curriculum tools (ii) digital library tools and (iii) knowledge representation tools. This paper reports on the extent to which the effectiveness and students’ attitudes towards E-learning impacts on their learning styles. The paper also reviews literature and gives a scholarly background to the study by reviewing some contributions made by various researchers and institutions on the concept of E-learning. Finally, the paper suggests that synchronous tools should be integrated into asynchronous environments to allow for any-time learning model and gave remark that E-learning needs to improve from various barriers.

En la década de los ochenta, se hicieron nuevos planteamientos de estrategia y política económica. El balance a principio de los noventa arroja la profundización de la pobreza y de la inseguridad alimentaria. ¿Cómo y por qué se ha llegado a estos extremos en América Latina? ¿Qué alternativas existen para aliviar la pobreza y garantizar la seguridad alimentaria en el futuro próximo?

fracaso del Estado salvadoreño
Authors: Cardenal Rodolfo
Published: November 2022

Relectura del informe de la Comisión de la verdad desde su tesis fundamental: el fracaso total del Estado salvadoreño al convertirse en simple fachada con autoridad, marginal, pues el verdadero poder lo ejercieron grupos poderosos que operaron en la más "abyecta impunidad" y sembraron el terror por medio de una red de grupos armados ilegales. la importancia del informe no radica en los casos, sino en el análisis estructural del Estado y su fracaso como poder público, lo cual exige su reconstitución.

Significado ético-político del informe de la verdad
Authors: Hernández-Pico Juan
Published: November 2022

Los que no aceptan el informe de la verdad son quienes se niegan a aceptar que la presunta patria salvadoreña fue durante siglos y brutalmente en las últimas décadas, una patria de pocos, una patria excluyente de las mayorías. La defensa de esta patria fue asumida por una alianza de militares, políticos y empresarios a base de violar sistemática y masivamente los derechos humanos. Esta verdad es escandalosa porque le quita la máscara a la patria de los privilegiados y exige con su verdad una patria renovada para todos, en la que las grandes mayorías empobrecidas, libres al fin del terror de las armas, puedan por primera vez ser ciudadanos en igualdad de opciones democráticamente discernidas y negociadas, aunque las opciones y las negociaciones sean conflictivas.

Derechos humanos en 1992
Authors: IDHUCA
Published: November 2022

La finalización de la guerra debía traer, al menos, dos importantes consecuencias. Primero, una drástica reducción de los graves hechos de violencia, a partir de la suspensión total de los actos considerados como infracciones al derecho internacional humanitario, incluyendo la muerte de civiles; y, segundo, la interrupción de las políticas de exterminio impulsadas por las partes, respecto de sus presuntos “enemigos” reales o ficticios, “traidores”, delatores, base social, etc. que habitaban determinadas zonas. Sin embargo, las ejecuciones arbitrarias documentadas por las organizaciones no gubernamentales durante 1992 superan en 52 la cifra de víctimas de 1991, que alcanzó un total de 96. Por lo tanto, el respeto de los derechos humanos no está garantizado aún.

Analysis of Landslide Susceptibility using Quantitative Multivariate Prediction Models in Jenelata Sub-Watershed, Jeneberang Watershed South Sulawesi Indonesia
Authors: Abbas Nugrahwati , Arsyad Usman , din Baharud , Soma Andang Suryana
Published: November 2022

Landslides have taken an essential role in the evolution of landscapes, are present almost everywhere, and have become one of the catastrophic subjects of frequent natural disasters. The landslide disaster in Indonesia became one of the disasters that resulted in many casualties. Quantitative multivariate prediction models are statistical methods that allow us to research more than two variables simultaneously. Multivariate analysis is used because, in reality, the problem cannot be solved by simply connecting two variables or looking at the influence of one variable on another. The Jenelata Sub-Watershed of the Jeneberang Watershed is the upper reaches of the Jeneberang watershed, with areas that have undergone many changes in land use and experienced a very high erosion rate. It can be seen by the river flow, which always carries soil sedimentation. The 650 landslide events detected in Google Earth imagery serve as the basis for assessing the extent of landslides. Discrimination of causal factors in frequency ratio (FR) indicates that slope factors, river density, and slope direction are the leading causes of landslides. The NGO was then built using a logistic regression (LR) model. The ROC curve in the model is more inclined towards the sensitivity axis with the success of the AUC and predictions of 0.809 model validation and 0.801 prediction validation, respectively.

Published: November 2022

To prevent nosocomial infection in patients, maintaining acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ) in medical centers (MCs) is crucial. The properties of IAQ in several medical centers were investigated in this study. The aim of this was to focus on some indoor air pollutants in different medical clinics. Models of air samples were measured inside several medical clinics in Basra province. The results of TVOC, CH2O, and PM2.5 were distributed between exceeding the standard limits and others within the standard. The results in the urban (center of Basra city) were within the legal limits for TVOC and CH2O, but the rural areas were above the legal limits in those areas. PM2.5 were above legal limits but urban sites had the highest. Healthcare workers and patients are exposed to a variety of chemicals that vary with the activities and products used. The presence and exposure of VOCs, CH2O, and PM2.5 may lead to health effects on the patient people. Variation between rural and urban sites in pollutants concentration was clear.

Authors: A.Stephen Fadare , L. Aisa. Langco, , James, Canalija, C. Vincent , C. Ahmad Kabirun, , B.Jhuniely Abelardo- Sabandija
Published: November 2022

Every athlete must develop confidence to excel in their athletic endeavors. Athletes who develop confidence can overcome anxiety and achieve their goals. Because of the expectations that come with professional sports, even the best athletes experience anxiety. We looked up information on the role confidence plays in sports performance, anxiety in sports performance, causes of anxiety, anxiety management in athletes, and optimal athletic performance on Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic, PubMed, ProQuest, and Cochrane Library. According to the findings of this review, for athletes to achieve peak athletic performance, coaches, trainers, and sport psychologists must instill sports confidence in them. This must be based on the athlete's needs and may include determining where and how the athlete gains confidence, as well as ensuring that everything remains strong while training for a competition. Athletes and those who work with them should be aware of how anxiety can affect cognitive appraisals, physiological arousals, and, ultimately, performance in a variety of performance-related situations.

Published: November 2022

Teachers are expected to accommodate an increasingly heterogeneous learner. It is crucial that the competence of any teachers should be evident on its effects to the learning and improved performance. As used in the study, competencies are the skills and knowledge that enable a teacher to be successful in the domains of instruction, assessment, classroom management, and personal qualities. In this study, it used the descriptive-correlational research design which determined the significant correlation between the level of competency in areas of the subject matter, content to be taught, instructional strategies, assessment, professional practice, classroom management, and the use of facilities and equipment among MAPEH teachers and the academic performance of the students. The participants of the study were the 126 secondary MAPEH teachers in the Divisions of Surigao del Norte, Dinagat Islands and Camarines Sur. Results of the data gathered were analyzed and interpreted using the Weighted Mean, Descriptive statistics,Correlation analysis and Multiple linear regression. Results showed that teachers were very competent in areas like subject matter, content to be taught, professional practice, and classroom management, while moderately competent on areas like instructional strategies, assessment and the use of facilities and equipment. There was a significant correlation between academic performance and the competence of the teachers in aspects like mastery, content, professional practice, and classroom management which are important in raising the quality of teachers’ competence of the MAPEH teachers.
