Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Agonists in Total Hip Arthroplasty: Complications, Readmissions, and Patient-Reported Outcomes
Authors: Magaldi Robert James , Strecker Sara Elaine , Witmer Dan
Published: November 2024

Background:

Obesity and diabetes, although increasingly common among the general population, are critical and modifiable preoperative medical comorbidities that should be managed appropriately before elective total hip arthroplasty. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists represent a novel treatment option for orthopaedic surgeons in addressing both weight loss and diabetic control in the preoperative setting. As their popularity continues to increase, it is important to understand the implications, safety, and outcomes associated with GLP-1 agonist use among patients undergoing elective total joint arthroplasty.

Methods:

A retrospective matched cohort analysis was conducted on all THA performed a high-volume orthopaedic hospital between June 2016 and December 2022. A total of 66 patients taking GLP-1 agonists were identified and matched in a 1:2 ratio by age, sex, and body mass index. Length of stay, inpatient complications, emergency department (ED) visits, readmissions, and Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement outcome scores were compared between the two groups using chi-squared tests and Student t test.

Results:

The GLP-1 cohort experienced a markedly higher rate of inpatient postoperative nausea and vomiting (18.2% vs. 6.0%, P = 0.011). Although more patient's taking GLP-1 agonists returned to the ED for nausea and vomiting among the GLP-1 cohort, no notable differences in ED volume were found between the two groups. Furthermore, no differences were reported in race, ethnicity, laterally, length of stay, or readmissions between the two cohorts.

Conclusion:

Despite the elevated risk of early postoperative nausea and vomiting among total hip arthroplasty patients taking GLP-1 agonists, their use was not associated with any notable differences in the length of stay, readmission rates, or other complications, including urinary retention and venous thromboembolism. Future studies should assess the appropriate window to stop GLP-1 agonists preoperatively and to investigate complications and outcomes associated with the different drugs and their dosages.

Television viewing habits among rural women in Bangladesh
Authors: Alam Shahin
Published: November 2024

This article examines the television viewing habits of women in the Rangpur division, located in northern Bangladesh, through a survey of 800 randomly selected respondents. Findings reveal that television is a dominant leisure activity, with 82% of women watching TV daily. Viewing patterns vary by time of day: 67% of women prefer prime-time (evening) programming, while only 4% watch in the morning due to busy schedules. Over half (56%) of respondents watch TV for more than three hours daily, indicating high engagement, whereas only 6% watch for about an hour. Films and music are particularly popular among rural women, with 95% and 93% watching them daily, followed closely by Indian Bangla serials (89%) and news and talk shows (90%). The study highlights the strong role of television in these women's lives, shaped by cultural preferences and genre interests. This high consumption rate suggests further research opportunities to explore television's impact on lifestyle and the potential for alternative leisure activities.

PEMIKIRAN FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE: TUHAN TELAH MATI DAN IMPLIKASINYA BAGI PENDIDIKAN AGAMA KRISTEN
Authors: Yohanis Pandie Remegises Danial
Published: November 2024

This article aims to analyze Friedrich Nietzche's thoughts on God is dead. Nietzche said that humans have killed God with attitudes and behaviors that do not reflect the life of Jesus.Nietzsche's critique goes beyond simply acknowledging the absence of God; it confronts the implications of the absence of human existence. He argues that the death of God necessitates a radical reassessment of values, since the moral framework that has governed society is no longer tenable. In the context of Christian education, Nietzsche's assertion calls for a reassessment of the pedagogical approaches used in teaching religious concepts. However, many authors consider Nietzche's criticism as a form of rebellion and denigration of Christianity. The research method used is a literature study. The results of the study show that Nietzche's criticism contributes to thinking related to critical thinking, multicultural education and the development of Christian educators' abilities in implementing each learning, so that Christian doctrinal fascism does not occur. Nietzsche's statement about the death of God presents both challenges and opportunities for Christian religious education.
ALKITAB DALAM PERSPEKTIF HOMILETIKA YANG BERTEOLOGI
Authors: Meriyana Meriyana , Sianipar Rikardo P. , Carolina Gressia
Published: November 2024

A sermon serves as the platform through which a preacher conveys divine messages to the congregation. Thorough preparation and effective delivery constitute essential components of a sermon. The use of illustrations, testimonials, and the selection of Bible passages play a pivotal role in crafting a sermon. A preacher should strive to communicate a message that aligns with the will of God, rather than catering to the desires of the congregation or personal preferences. This research aims to explore the concept of the Bible from a theological homiletical perspective. The Bible is regarded as a divine revelation in which God manifests Himself. The Bible serves as the core source in sermon development. Unfortunately, not all preachers base their sermons on the Bible; at times, they rely more on personal thoughts or subjective experiences. This poses potential risks for the congregation since their faith should not be founded on the preacher's personal experiences. It is crucial for a preacher to comprehend the fundamental role of the Bible as a theological foundation in crafting sermons. The research methodology employed in this study is qualitative, with a focus on relevant literature and resources. The research findings affirm that sermons with theological depth should be anchored in the Bible. Such an approach is known as expository preaching. It can be concluded that as a preacher, the primary duty is to communicate God's message, not personal opinions. This is intended to build the congregation on the foundation of biblical truth and encourage transformation towards Christ.
Tax Incentives and Older Workers: Evidence from Canada
Authors: Lacroix Guy , Michaud Pierre-Carl
Published: November 2024

We provide empirical evidence on the effectiveness of a tax measure aimed at increasing the employment rates of older workers in Quebec, Canada. We use several data sources and various identification strategies. First, we use a Quebec-Ontario difference-in-differences design and do not detect robust effects on employment for most age groups except for those aged 60 to 64, but the common trend assumption is found not to hold. For this last group, we use an alternative identification strategy that exploits the variation in treatment intensity over time using longitudinal administrative tax data for Quebec only. Doing so, we do not find any effect on transitions in or out of the labour force. We do find a small positive effect on earnings (intensive margin) but a negative one on the affected workers’ net tax liability. Finally, addressing the invalid comparison with Ontario, we investigate the impact of the credit using a staggered adoption design exploiting differences across cohorts within Quebec. The results are consistent with the alternative approach. We conclude that the tax measure does not appear to be a cost-effective way of raising public revenues nor of increasing the employment rates of older workers.

The influence of tax service quality and tax socialization on individual taxpayer compliance in the regional tax office of the Riau Islands
Authors: Sutanto Meithasya Putri
Published: November 2024

This research investigates how taxpayer compliance at the Riau Islands Regional Tax Office is affected by two factors: the quality of tax services and tax socialization efforts. The researchers surveyed 116 individual taxpayers and analyzed their responses using regression analysis. The findings revealed that both factors positively influenced compliance levels. Specifically, each unit improvement in tax service quality led to a 0.227 unit increase in compliance, while each unit increase in tax socialization resulted in a 0.479 unit rise in compliance. Together, these two factors account for 34.9% of the variations in taxpayer compliance behavior. Based on these results, the study recommends enhancing both service quality and socialization activities to boost tax compliance in the region.
Cultivating Change: Regenerative Agriculture and Peacebuilding in South-central Somalia
Authors: Böhle Ann-Sophie , Tarif Kheira
Published: November 2024

In Somalia, climate change disproportionately disrupts agricultural and pastoral liveli­hoods, driving harmful prac­tices, such as resource over-exploitation, which exacerbate conflicts. To address these chal­lenges, the International Organ­ization for Migration (IOM) promotes regenerative agri­culture as a part of a broader environmental peacebuilding approach aiming to replace negative coping strategies with sustainable practices for long-term resilience. This SIPRI Policy Brief explores the IOM’s approach to regenerative agriculture as a tool for environmental peace­building in south-central Somalia. It focuses on analysing how the approach has been designed and highlights elements of the approach that can build resilient livelihoods, encourage cooperation over natural resources and strengthen social cohesion. The policy brief also offers recom­mendations for donors and implementing organizations to effectively leverage regenera­tive agriculture for environ­mental peacebuilding efforts.
Impact of Bioactive Compounds of Mucuna monosperma on Antioxidant Enzymes in PD Lines Drosophila melanogaster
Authors: S Sneha , JS Ashadevi
Published: November 2024

Parkinson's disease (PD), the most common neurodegenerative ailment, is caused by from progressive damage in dopamine-secreting cells in the substantianigra. Oxidative stress plays a major role in the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in PD. All organisms have developed adaptive responses to oxidative stress that result in increased production of defensive enzymes and antioxidant molecules. The mutations in α-synuclein protein has a role in modulating the dopamine activity. In this study, we have illustrated the protective effects of bioactive compounds of Mucuna monosperma (MM) against paraquat (PQ)-induced oxidative stress in a transgenic Parkinson's disease model (Elav/SNCAA30P) of Drosophila melanogaster.  The isolated L-Dopa and Ursolic compounds exhibit antioxidant property.  The activity of antioxidant enzymes and LPO has been measured in L-dopa and Ursolic acid supplemented PD lines under oxidative stress conditions. The oxidative stress caused by PQ was averted and antioxidant enzyme activity was significantly increased in flies which were fed with a mixture of L-Dopa and Ursolic acid. SOD activities were  elevated by 4.2 fold, CAT  activates were increased by  3.8 fold and G6Pd activates were increased  by 4.6 fold under stress conditions. The synergetic effect of these bioactive compounds decreases the LPO activity by 2 fold with the increase of glutathione by 3.36 fold in transgenic PD flies. Based on the findings, we speculate that L-Dopa with Ursolic acid of Mucuna monosperma prevents the oxidative stress-related disorders and can be used as possible therapeutic agent against PD disorder.
Lignocellulosic Biomass for Bioethanol Recovery: A way towards Environmental Sustainability
Authors: Raj Aakansha , Prasad Birendra
Published: November 2024

The increasing population and industrialization have increased the day to day demand of energy. Global warming and other climatic disasters caused due to burning of conventional fossil fuels have laid the need for an alternative and renewable fuel. Concurrently, the worldwide demand and production of bio-ethanol, a bio-based sustainable fuel is increasing continuously. Fungal saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass takes place simultaneously with the secretion of various metabolites, which function as a catalytic system to liberate soluble sugars from insoluble composite biomass. Cellulase holds a major role for converting lignocellulosic feedstock into fermentable sugar. Fungi, especially filamentous fungi preferably the Aspergillus species are known to produce cellulase. Amongst the lignocellulosic biomass, rice straw is considered as one of the most attractive materials for producing bioethanol because of its high cellulosic and hemicellulosic content, which can be hydrolyzed into fermentable sugars. However, the recalcitrant nature of the substrate imposes considerable challenges and limitations to bioethanol production. To combat these challenges, various pretreatment techniques such as chemical, physical, and physico-chemical processes are known to be effective enough to enhance the efficiency of enzymatic saccharification to make the complete process economically feasible.
The present work deals with the isolation and selection of hypercellulase-producing fungal species. These species were used along with the pretreatment techniques either alone or in combination for efficient hydrolysis of rice straw to obtain the maximum amount of the released sugar.
Tetra Butyl Ammonium Bromide Catalyzed Synthesis of Thiols and Thioethers
Authors: Patil Umesh Keru , Sonawane Bharat U. , Madje Balaji , Vaidya S. R.
Published: November 2024

A simple and commercially feasible route of synthesis of thiols and thioethers was developed using a simple phase transfer catalyst, i.e., Tetra Butyl Ammonium Bromide (TBAB). Sodium hydrogen sulfide (NaSH) is used as a sulfurization agent which is easily available and cost-effective. Thiols are obtained by treating alkyl or benzyl halides with sodium hydrogen sulfide (NaSH) in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst (TBAB) at 10 to 15℃. Thioethers are obtained by benzyl thiols treated with corresponding benzyl halides in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst (TBAB) at 10 to 15℃. Synthesis of thiols and thioethers is achieved by substitution reaction of benzyl or alkyl halides with sulfide in the presence of phase transfer catalyst (TBAB) and monochlorobenzene as a solvent at 10 to 15℃. Milder reaction conditions, excellent yield, shorter reaction time and operational simplicity are the key features of this procedure.

Authors: Singh Meenakshi
Published: November 2024

Medicinal plants are source of phytochemical compounds that play a significant role in human healthcare. The potent effects of these plants are mainly due to the presence of secondary metabolites. This study aimed to identify various phytochemicals and quantify the total phenolic and flavonoid content in the methanolic extract of Ficus carica leaves, as well as to measure their antioxidant properties.
Alkaloids, glycosides, steroids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins were all detected in the raw powdered extract of Ficus carica leaves. However, alkaloids were absent in the methanolic extract. In the quantitative analysis, the total flavonoid content was significantly higher than the total phenolic content. The result of the study highlighted the potent phenol and flavonoid contents and antioxidant properties in the extract, indicating its potential for developing new drugs. This study also supports some of the traditional medicinal properties of the plant.

A Systemic Theory of Democracy. Towards the Democratic Diagnosis of Political Systems
Authors: Sanchez-Mazas Victor
Published: November 2024

A new approach to democracy that empowers its citizens. Democracy is a complex social system. A Systemic Theory of Democracy investigates the complexity of democracy’s functioning through a systemic perspective to identify opportunities and challenges for democratic transformations. It critically reappraises social systems theory, drawing on analytical tools to describe and evaluate dynamic and ever-evolving democratic systems within their changing societal environments. By articulating political functions, social practices, and democratic principles, this systemic framework transcends the boundaries of theoretical models, enabling it to map existing political systems and identify their context-specific shortcomings. A systemic approach to democracy, argues political researcher Victor Sanchez-Mazas, opens the path to the possibility and necessity for citizens to identify collectively the problems faced by their democratic system. A Systemic Theory of Democracy calls for a critical democratic agenda: the continual diagnosis of democratic shortcomings, by citizens themselves and through democratic processes. This book introduces “democratic diagnosis” as a major challenge and opportunity for both contemporary democratic theory and existing democratic systems.

Nuevas tendencias de la razón instrumental
Authors: Alcívar-Soria Evelyn Eugenia , Gerardo Alfredo Solano-Gutiérrez
Published: November 2024

En este artículo filosófico se explora las nuevas tendencias en la crítica de la razón instrumental, un concepto desarrollado por la Escuela de Frankfurt, particularmente por Max Horkheimer y Theodor Adorno. La razón instrumental, caracterizada por priorizar la eficiencia y el control sobre los valores éticos y humanos, ha sido ampliamente criticada por su influencia en la tecnocracia, el capitalismo de vigilancia y la deshumanización en los ámbitos laboral y educativo. El artículo analiza estas problemáticas en el contexto contemporáneo, examinando el impacto de la digitalización y la expansión de las tecnologías de la información en la perpetuación de la racionalidad instrumental. También se exploran las alternativas propuestas por pensadores como Jürgen Habermas, Christian Fuchs y Axel Honneth, quienes abogan por una razón más humana y ética, centrada en el diálogo y el reconocimiento mutuo. El trabajo subraya la relevancia continua de la crítica de la razón instrumental para entender los desafíos sociales actuales y futuros.

A hipocalcemia puerperal em cadelas lactantes é um distúrbio metabólico que se caracteriza pela redução acentuada dos níveis de cálcio no sangue durante a gestação ou no pós-parto na fase de lactação. Essa enfermidade é comum em cadelas de raças pequenas e em ninhadas grandes. Os sintomas da hipocalcemia puerperal incluem nervosismo, tremores musculares, hipertermia, taquipneia e, em casos graves, convulsões e risco de morte. O diagnóstico baseia-se na avaliação clínica e na medição dos níveis séricos de cálcio, sendo confirmado quando os níveis de cálcio estiverem abaixo de 9,0 mg/dl em cães e gatos adultos. O tratamento é feito por meio da administração de gluconato de cálcio por via intravenosa, seguido de suplementação oral de cálcio e vitamina D para prevenir recidivas. Além disso, recomenda-se a revisão da dieta das cadelas lactantes para garantir um aporte adequado de cálcio e outros nutrientes essenciais durante o período de lactação. A prevenção da hipocalcemia puerperal é por meio de uma nutrição balanceada e adequada para cadelas prenhes e lactantes, evitando a suplementação de cálcio durante a gestação, pois isso pode inibir a produção endógena de paratormônio e predispor à hipocalcemia no período puerperal. Propõem-se com esse trabalho fornecer uma compreensão da hipocalcemia puerperal em cadelas lactantes, abordando aspectos clínicos, diagnósticos, terapêuticos e preventivos, e apresentar um caso de hipocalcemia puerperal acompanhado durante o estágio curricular obrigatório, este relato de caso ilustra a eficácia do tratamento com cálcio intravenoso e suplementação oral, destacando a importância da prevenção através de uma nutrição adequada.

En un entorno empresarial caracterizado por constantes cambios debido a la innovación tecnológica y la globalización, las empresas deben adaptarse para mantener su competitividad y productividad. Aunque muchas organizaciones implementan programas de capacitación, solo las grandes empresas suelen tener políticas sólidas y estructuradas. Esto genera un problema, ya que la falta de capacitación adecuada puede afectar la eficacia y continuidad de las empresas en el mercado. El problema de esta investigación se centra en la empresa cuencana Aguima Shoes Cia. Ltda., la cual, a pesar de contar con programas de capacitación, no ha podido medir de manera efectiva su impacto en el desempeño laboral de los empleados. El objetivo de esta investigación es evaluar cómo las políticas de inducción, capacitación continua y evaluación influyen en el desempeño laboral de los empleados. La metodología utilizada es deductivo-analítica, con un enfoque cuantitativo basado en encuestas a 65 empleados de diferentes departamentos. Se diseñó un cuestionario dividido en tres categorías: Inducción, Capacitación Continua y Evaluación, utilizando la escala de Likert para medir la satisfacción y frecuencia de las capacitaciones. Los resultados muestran que la categoría de Inducción obtuvo la mejor valoración, con un promedio de 3.3, mientras que Capacitación Continua y Evaluación presentaron promedios más bajos, de 2.7 y 2.1, respectivamente. El departamento de Ventas destacó en satisfacción, mientras que Logística/Bodega evidenció la necesidad de mejorar sus programas. En conclusión, aunque las políticas de capacitación son valoradas positivamente, se requiere una mejor estructuración para maximizar su efectividad en el desempeño laboral.

This article presents historical and modern ideas about the role of temperament in psychosomatic relationships. The evolution and origins of the study of temperament and the origins of the formation of psychosomatic medicine are described in detail. The issues of the pathogenetic influence of mental factors on the somatic state of a person are revealed. This article emphasizes how the autonomic nervous system makes an important contribution to the development of disorders of psychosomatic relationships. The final part of the article focuses on the importance of temperament in the development of the individual personality of children and adolescents. It is noted that temperament, like all properties of the body, is subject to age-related changes. In childhood, changes in temperament are due to maturation. Possession of certain properties of temperament does not directly determine how the child's personality will develop. However, the indirect influence of temperament on the formation of personality is undoubtedly.

Authors: Feng Xuan , Prompongsaton Nattapong , Kotchapakdee Pat
Published: November 2024

Introduction: The Nanyang Han pictorial stones, a significant cultural legacy from the Han Dynasty, are rich in mythological and symbolic content. These pictographs offer a profound insight into ancient Chinese conceptions of life, nature, and the cosmos, depicted through refined lines and vibrant imagery. While these mythological elements are celebrated for their artistic and historical significance, they remain underexplored in modern art, particularly in printmaking design. Printmaking, rooted in Chinese engraving traditions, has evolved as a conduit for cultural expression, blending traditional motifs with contemporary aesthetics. Integrating the mythological components of Han pictographs into modern printmaking offers a pathway to culturally enriched art that resonates with contemporary audiences.
Methods: This study analyzed the mythological themes and artistic techniques of Nanyang Han pictorial stones, focusing on their line, surface, and spatial representations. Key visual elements, such as celestial figures, symbolic animals, and mythical beings, were examined for their design potential in modern printmaking. Through comparative analysis, the study explored how traditional motifs align with the structural and aesthetic principles of modern graphic design. Case studies involving reinterpretations of specific pictorial elements were also conducted to demonstrate their integration into contemporary printmaking.
Results: The results revealed a strong compatibility between the structural simplicity and symbolic strength of Han pictographs and modern printmaking techniques. Key similarities were identified in the use of lines, dots, and spatial composition, demonstrating the potential of Han pictographs to enrich the visual impact and cultural depth of contemporary print designs. The application of mythological motifs provided an aesthetic that both respects traditional forms and innovates within a modern design framework, offering a means of cultural transmission through visual storytelling.
Conclusion: Incorporating the mythological elements of Nanyang Han pictorial stones into modern printmaking design represents a promising strategy for preserving and revitalizing traditional Chinese art. By translating historical symbols and styles into contemporary forms, designers can bridge cultural heritage with modern aesthetics, fostering a deeper cultural resonance and engagement with the art. This study underscores the importance of cultural continuity in art and presents a viable model for integrating traditional mythological themes into modern design practices
Adapting the Theory of Planned Behavior to Analyze Smoking Intentions Among Adolescents in Urban School
Authors: Nurseha Nabila Luthfia , Elia Nur A’yunin
Published: November 2024

Introduction: The prevalence of smoking among adolescents continues to increase each year. The Theory of Planned Behavior states that behavior is preceded by intention.
Objective: This study aims to identify the factors associated with and most dominant in influencing smoking intentions among adolescents.
Method: This research is quantitative with a cross-sectional study design. The study was conducted at State Junior High School 3 in South Tangerang City, which is located in an urban area. The research sample consisted of 276 adolescents who were non-active smokers, selected using a proportional stratified sampling technique, and data collection was carried out through a questionnaire. Data analysis included univariate analysis, bivariate analysis using the chi-square test, and multivariate analysis using multiple logistic regression.
Result: The results showed that most adolescents had strong smoking intentions (56.5%), supportive attitudes toward smoking (52.2%), negative subjective norms (54.7%), and weak perceived control over smoking behavior (55.8%). There was a significant relationship between smoking attitudes (PR=2.658; 95% CI=2.028-3.485; P<0.05), subjective norms (PR=3.338; 95% CI=2.439-4.568; P<0.05), and perceived control over smoking behavior (PR=2.739; 95% CI=2.046-3.666; P<0.05) with smoking intention. Subjective norms were identified as the dominant variable influencing the intention.
Conclusion: There is a relationship between attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control with respect to smoking intention, with subjective norm being the dominant variable influencing intention. Therefore, it is essential to intensify peer education programs to influence peers to avoid smoking, as well as to conduct a deeper analysis of the factors shaping subjective norms and design school-based interventions specifically targeting changes in these norms.
