Clinical reasoning in emergency medical technicians and its compliance with the illness script theory: A pilot study
Authors: Miri Hamidreza , Boushehri Elham , Hoseini-Abardeh Maryam , Yazdani Shahram
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND:

Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) play a pivotal role in the management and treatment chain of emergency patients and their health outcomes. Knowing the clinical reasoning pattern in prehospital procedures is of particular importance that can help to develop a correct clinical decision-making process in this group. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the clinical reasoning in EMTs and evaluate its compliance with the “illness script” theory.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This descriptive–analytical study was conducted in 2021 at Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences (HUMS) by involving EMTs in two groups of experts and novices. To collect and analyze participants' mental script-based information, the “think aloud” method was used. In the content analysis of extracted protocols, two main steps were considered: 1) preparing a suitable map to compare the protocol with the base pattern and 2) quantifying the relationship between the protocol and the base pattern. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS)-21 software, the Shapiro–Wilk test, and the independent t-test were used for analyzing quantitative data.

RESULTS:

After exploring the concordance of the clinical reasoning of EMTs with the base pattern, results showed that the components of Enabling condition and Management were consistent with the illness script strategy. Pathophysiology and Diagnosis components did not conform to the base pattern. Regarding Signs and Symptoms, these were significantly different from the classic pattern of illness script. A new component called Contextual insight was suggested for this pattern. Generally, on comparing the clinical script content of experts and novices, only two components of Pathophysiology and Diagnosis did not show any significant difference (P > 0.05) between these two groups.

CONCLUSION:

Results of evaluating the clinical reasoning of the under-study groups showed that in some components of the pattern, they practiced as in other medical groups, but in relation to some components, this was not the case. It is due to the different nature of the prehospital conditions. Also, there is a need to add new components to the base model, which should be considered in distinguishing between expert and novice EMTs.
Herpes Virus and Periodontitis
Authors: Kalaivani Gunalan
Published: April 2023

Aim:

To assess the relationship between herpes virus (HV) and periodontitis (PI) among dental practitioners (DP).

Objective:

This survey aims to assess attitude, perception, knowledge, and awareness about HV and its role in PI patients.

Materials and Methods:

The study was conducted on DP in the southern states of Tamil Nadu. A self-assessed questionnaire was prepared, and the survey was done through a web-based system (GOOGLE FORMS). Two experts did a pretest to assess its validity and reliability. Twenty questions (each 5) were designed to assess attitude, perception, knowledge, and awareness. They all had to be answered without exception before submission. Chi-square test and Student's t-test were used to compare the responses of attitude, perception, knowledge, and awareness.

Results:

About 30% of DP supported that HV can lead to PI. Among them, mostly MDS-qualified DP (P < 0.05) supported that HV's could worsen the clinical parameters (CP) of PI diseases with increased periodontal pocket depth, bleeding on probing and clinical attachment level. Only 45% accepted that periodontal therapy could improve CP by reducing subgingival bacterial and viral counts. Nearly 74% were unaware of HV examination to consider in refractory and recurrent PI patients. Significant results (P < 0.01) were observed for mean responses of attitude, perception, knowledge, and awareness-related question based on sex and qualification of DP.

Conclusion:

Still, many dental surgeons were unaware of the HV role and its management in PI patients. There is a requisite to incorporate more subject-related scientific programs to update the DP about the current evolving etiology and its treatment sequences in PI patients to achieve successful practice.

Background: Shellfishes are susceptible to a wide variety of bacterial pathogens, most of which are capable of causing disease in humans but are  considered to be saprophytic in nature. Bacteriological diversity of shellfishes depends on the fishing grounds, habitats and environmental factors  around them. This study assessed the bacteria associated with shellfishes, Pachycheles pubescens (crab) and Nucella lapillus (dog whelk) harvested from mesotidal estuarine ecosystem.

Methodology: The bacteriological assessment of crab (Pachycheles pubescens) and dog whelk (Nucella lapillus) harvested from Okwano Obolo estuary in  Eastern Obolo local government area (LGA), Akwa Ibom was evaluated. The density of heterotrophic and potential pathogens was determined using  standard analytical procedures. The pure bacterial isolates were grouped into recognizable taxonomic units and characterized to their generic level.

Results: The mean (and range) total heterotrophic bacterial count (THBC), total coliform count (TCC), faecal coliform count (FCC), Salmonella-Shigella  count (SSC) and total Vibrio count (TVC) of the crab samples (log10 cfu/g) for the crab samples are; 4.281±0.085 (4.18-4.39); 4.187±0.078 (4.11-4.30); 4.115±0.081 (4.00-4.20); 4.076±0.058 (4.00-4.14); and 4.114±0.085 (4.00-4.23) respectively (p=0.003915). For the dog whelk samples, the mean (and range)  THBC, TCC, FCC, SSC and TVC are 4.232±0.095 (4.11-4.36); 4.185±0.095 (4.04-4.28); 4.082±0.068 (4.00-4.18); 4.062±0.055 (4.00-4.15) and 5.155±0.062  (4.08-4.23) respectively (p=0.028856. Bacterial species isolated from the crab and dog whelk samples included Salmonella, Bacillus, Shigella,    Corynebacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Vibrio (which was the most frequently isolated bacteria pathogen from both samples in 80%).

Conclusion: Some of the bacteria species especially Vibrio, Salmonella and Shigella isolated from the crab and dog whelk samples are known human  pathogens, that can pose serious health risk if these seafoods are not properly cooked before consumption.

Published: April 2023

Background: COVID-19 vaccine is one of the most effective public health intervention approaches for prevention of COVID-19. Despite its well-known  efficacy and safety, significant proportion of frontline COVID-19 healthcare workers remain hesitant about accepting the vaccine for whatever reasons.  This study aimed to determine acceptance rate and determinants of vaccine refusal among doctors in Cross River State, Nigeria.

Methodology: This was a cross-sectional survey of doctors using structured online questionnaire administered via the WhatsApp platform of the medical  doctors’ association, in order to assess their rate of acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines, and reasons for vaccine refusal. The predictors of vaccine  acceptance were analysed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.

Results: Of the 443 medical doctors targeted on the WhatsApp platform, 164 responded to the questionnaire survey, giving a response rate of 37.0%  (164/443). The mean age of the respondents is 38 ±6.28 years, 91 (55.5%) are 38 years old and above, 97 (59.1%) are males and 67 (40.9%) are females,  giving a male-to-female ratio of 1.4:1. The greater proportion of the respondents are physicians (70/148, 47.3%) and about three-quarter of the  participants (127/164, 77.4%) had received COVID-19 vaccine. The proportion of physicians who had received COVID-19 vaccine (57/70, 81.4%) was more  than the proportion of general practitioners (31/42, 73.8%) and surgeons (24/35, 68.6%). Low perceived benefit of vaccination was the main reason given  for COVID-19 vaccine refusal (45.9%, 17/37). No significant association was found between vaccine refusal and suspected predictors (p>0.05).

Conclusion: Our study revealed high rate of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among medical doctors especially among the physicians, with the surgeons  showing lowest acceptance rate. A significant proportion would not take vaccine because they perceived it lacks much benefits. To raise vaccine  acceptance among doctors, more efforts on vaccine literacy that would target doctors from all sub-specialties especially surgeons and incorporate  vaccine benefits should be made.

Published: April 2023

Brucellosis is a zoonotic bacterial disease with worldwide distribution. A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the serological prevalence of brucellosis in horses within Kano Metropolis. A total of 328 serum samples were collected for the study. Modified Rose Bengal Plate Test (mRBPT) was conducted on all the samples while the Serum Agglutination Test with EDTA (SAT-EDTA) was conducted on the mRBPT-positive samples. The prevalence of brucellosis in horses within the Kano metropolis was found to be 24.09 % (79/328) and 11.89 % (39/328) with mRBPT and SAT-EDTA respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the seropositivity by the tests used. From the study, 37 (23.27%) out of the 159 mares were seropositive for Brucella antibodies using mRBPT while 16 (43.24 %) were positive using SAT-EDTA. Similarly, of the 169 stallions, 38 (22.4 %) were positive using mRBPT and of these 22(57.89 %) were further positive by using SAT-EDTA. Unlike the age and use of the horses; location, sex, and breed were not significantly associated with the seroprevalence rate obtained in the study using mRBPT P<0.05. This study showed that Brucella antibodies were circulating in the horses in the study area. Further study is recommended to determine the Brucella species circulating in these horses, particularly that brucellosis is zoonotic with serious public health significance. There is also the need to examine the horse owners and grooms for possible Brucella antibodies because equine brucellosis has serious public health significance.

Published: April 2023

This paper examines a dual-band, low-cost microstrip patch antenna for Ku and K applications through simulation study. Ansys High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software is used to do the simulation analysis of the suggested antenna. Using Ansys High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software, the suggested antenna is constructed and simulated to evaluate several characteristics including reflection coefficient (S11), radiation pattern, gain, and bandwidth. The substrate for the antenna is made of FR-4, which has a relative permittivity of 4.4 and a dielectric loss tangent of 0.02. Using the microstrip feed line technology, the planned millimeter wave dual band antenna is examined at operating frequencies of 13 and 22 GHz. At frequencies of 13 and 22, respectively, the antenna's maximum gain values are 4.81 dB and
4.82 dB in the x-y plane. The suggested material might be a decent substitute.
Data Processing Method for Artificial Neural Network ANN Based Micro grid Protection Model
Authors: Sanghita Baidya , Champa Nandi
Published: April 2023

Effective fault detection and isolation technologies are very necessary for uninterrupted power supply and for making a flexible protection scheme. Almost all protection schemes in the power system are based on data exchange among protection units through a strong communication structure. Thus, it is important to deal with a large amount of data. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the key factors in this regard. AI has several sections and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is one of them. It is suggested to implement the ANN-based models while working with big data. The existing protection models are facing difficulties while trying to deal with big data. Thus ANN-based approaches have come into the front line in advanced power system networks. The performance of the ANN model is depending on the training of the data set. Hence in this work, we are focusing on preparing the data to provide input in the ANN model. The principal component analysis (PCA) method is applied here for reduced the dimension of a large number of data sets. The new data set is used to run the k-means clustering algorithm. It is shown that the clustering is more accurate with the processed data set by PCA. Therefore, the prepared data set is used to run the ANN model that has a smaller size with higher information and minimum computational time. This study shows the data preparation part to train the ANN model.

Objetivou-se avaliar o crescimento inicial de leguminosas utilizadas como adubos verdes, bem como compreender a influência dessas espécies na comunidade de plantas daninhas. O experimento foi realizado em campo. Os tratamentos foram constituídos por quatro tipos de cultivos: crotalária (Crotalaria juncea); feijão-guandu (Cajanus cajan), mucuna-cinza (Mucuna pruriens) e área sem cultivo (controle). Aos 50 dias após semeadura (DAS) foi realizado o levantamento da comunidade de plantas daninhas e a colheita das plantas de adubo verde. A crotalária foi a planta que apresentou crescimento mais rápido e maior produção matéria fresca e seca aos 50 DAS. Por outro lado, o feijão-guandu apresentou baixa taxa de crescimento e produção de massa vegetal, inferior à observada para a vegetação local (área sem cultivo). A diversidade de plantas daninhas foi modificada conforme a planta de adubo verde cultivada. No entanto, a porcentagem de área ocupada pela vegetação infestante não foi influenciada pelo plantio das leguminosas. A crotalária possui crescimento mais rápido e maior produção de massa de matéria seca comparada às demais leguminosas, sendo recomendada para situação semelhante. Os cultivos de crotalária, feijão-guandu e mucuna-cinza não influenciam a porcentagem de ocupação do solo por plantas daninhas até os cinquenta dias após semeadura dessas leguminosas.
Utilizando a time geography como estratégia para a pesquisa mais-que-representacional
Authors: Silva Leonardo Luiz Silveira da , Costa Alfredo
Published: April 2023

Por muito tempo negligenciada na geografia brasileira, a time geography tem sido resgatada nas geografias estrangeiras devido à disseminação do acesso a novos softwares que permitem a produção de sua paradoxal “representação mais-que-representacional”. Ao se preocupar com o arranjo de fluxos cotidianos em fragmentos do continuum espaço-temporal, a time geography apresenta um potencial de exploração do comportamento de indivíduos ou de pequenos grupos de pessoas mediante ao conjunto de fluxos mensurados. Tal perspectiva favorece não somente as relações estabelecidas pelos encontros entre as pessoas, mas também das relações que indivíduos estabelecem em meio as suas trajetórias particulares. O artigo em questão objetiva apresentar a time geography como uma ferramenta de pesquisa mais-que-representacional, ressaltando a sua capacidade de destacar as distintas noções do espaço relativo. Conclui-se que a pesquisa mais-que-representacional tem na time geography um apoio importante, mas que os métodos fenomenológicos de investigação são recursos de descrição e análise que não podem ser negligenciados pelos pesquisadores.
Experiencias de mujeres indígenas sobre su proceso de parto: parir fuera de su territorio
Authors: Argañaraz María Milagros
Published: April 2023

En el presente escrito abordamos la siguiente pregunta-problema: ¿Dónde paren las mujeres indígenas del Valle Calchaquí de la provincia de Tucumán, Argentina? La respuesta a esto fue la ausencia de un servicio público especializado en partos y nacimientos, por lo que, las mujeres paren fuera de su territorio. Esto significa para ellas fuera de sus redes socio-afectivas y comunitarias. Este artículo se constituye como un primer acercamiento a la cuestión y busca problematizar el hecho a partir de recuperar testimonios de partos de las propias mujeres. La metodología utilizada fue cualitativa, empleando la entrevista en profundidad como técnica de recolección de datos. Apelamos a la perspectiva interseccional como análisis de esta situación problemática, ya que no es suficiente con una lectura de género, sino también, es necesario atender a condicionantes de clase social y etnia. Apostamos a un cruce entre el pensamiento decolonial y la perspectiva de género como forma de entender las múltiples opresiones que vivencian en sus cuerpos-territorios las mujeres indígenas. Así es como este trabajo abordó la realidad de las mujeres indígenas en proceso de parto desde sus propias narrativas y manifestó las diferentes violencias que atraviesan en el momento de parir fuera de su territorio.

Abstract

Questions about existence like “why am I exist” or “what is the purpose of my existence?” at least we’ve questioned once. There is two kind of answer, those who believe the purpose themselves has been established from the beginning, and those others who feel the meaning of life is decided by themselves. Therefore, how is the scheme of participation in Trinity? Are humans participating as a responsibility because human is the creation, or is participation a response to mankind's existence? To respond to the problem, this study will explore Jean-Paul Sartre’s existentialism to reveal the basic scheme of human responsibility for their actions. Afterward, the result will be analyzed by using the lenses of heteronomy and autonomy ethics, and the lens of humans is the image of Christ. The purpose of this study is to reinforce that human participation in Trinitiy is an attempt to fulfill the responsibility of his existence as the image of Christ in humans' freedom.

 

Abstrak

Pertanyaan seputar eksistensi seperti “mengapa saya ada” atau “apa tujuan dari ‘ada’-nya saya?” setidaknya pernah kita ajukan. Ada yang mempercayai bahwa tujuan dari keberadaan dirinya telah ditetapkan sejak awal, dan ada yang mempercayai dirinya sendiri yang menentukan tujuan atau memaknai keberadaannya. Dengan adanya dua pandangan tersebut, bagaimana skema partisipasi ke dalam Allah Trinitas kemudian? Apakah manusia melakukannya karena kewajiban sebagai ciptaan, atau justru partisipasi adalah tanggapan manusia terhadap keberadaan dirinya? Untuk menjawab permasalahan tersebut, penelitian ini akan mendalami eksistensialisme Jean-Paul Sartre guna menguak skema dasar tanggung jawab atas tindakan manusia. Kemudian temuan tersebut akan dianalisis dengan etika heteronomi dan otonomi, serta perspektif manusia sebagai gambar Kristus. Kajian tersebut dilakukan untuk mempertegas, bahwa partisipasi manusia ke dalam Allah Trinitas adalah upaya pemenuhan keberadaan manusia sebagai gambar Kristus di dalam kebebasannya.
Korelasi Misi Penginjilan Gereja dan Pelayanan Diakonia

Abstract

Banyak gereja melakukan pelayanan  misi melalui pekabaran  Injil ke tempat yang terpencil. Di sisi lain Gereja juga melakukan pelayanan diakonia bagi warganya sendiri dan bahkan bagi anggota masyarakat di sekitarnya. Tulisan ini dimaksud untuk menemukan benang merah antara pelayanan misi-pekabaan Injil  dan diakonia. Hal ini terjadi karena penginjilan dipahami hanya sebagai pelayanan misi yang menyentuh hal-hal rohani dan diakonia dipahami sebagai usaha menolong berbagi hal-hal material pada kalangan yang menderita saja. Tulisan ini menelusuri pandangan para teolog mengenai hubungan antara pelayanan misi pekabaran injil dan pelayanan diakonia Gereja. Bahwa  pemahamanan misi yang utuh berasal pada konsep Misio Dei dan diakonia.  Dari berbagai  literatur dapat dipahami   misi Allah merupakan usaha-Nya membebaskan manusia dari belenggu baik secara rohani maupun materi.

Strategi peningkatan mutu berbasis TQM (Total Quality Management) adalah salah satu strategi peningkatan mutu yang memiliki aspek-aspek penekanan antara lain: kepuasan pelanggan, perbaikan secara berkesinambungan, obsesi yang tinggi terhadap kualitas, pendekatan ilmiah dalam pengambilan keputusan, pemecahan masalah, serta kerjasama tim dan kepemimpinan. Pentingnya TQM dikarenakan dunia yang cepat berubah dan hadirnya kompetitor baik dari lembaga sejenis maupun yang berbeda. Salah satu produk yang ditawarkan gereja adalah berbasis pengajaran, khususnya doktrin dasar iman Kristen. Hal ini jarang dilakukan gereja, terlihat dari belum adanya tulisan yang mengangkat bahasan peng-ajaran doktrin merupakan bagian dari manajemen mutu gereja serta sebagai adaptasi gereja dalam menghadapi kompetitor. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah kualitatif dengan metode grounded research; alasannya, karena belum ditemukan sebuah tulisan yang menyajikan pengajaran doktrin dasar iman Kristen merupakan bagian dari implementasi TQM di dalam Gereja. Hasil yang ditemukan bahwa, pengajaran doktrin dasar iman Kristen telah membuat Gereja secara umum dapat bertahan selama ribuan tahun di tengah berbagai serangan pengajaran baik dari internal dan eksternal Gereja. Kesimpulan yang diperoleh adalah, pengajaran doktrin iman Kristen merupakan produk yang utama dari Gereja dalam memuaskan jemaat untuk menjamin jemaat tetap menjadi bagian dari persekutuan kudus yaitu Gereja, selain juga merupakan bagian penting untuk menujukkan kualitas Gereja itu

SOSIALISASI PENTINGNYA MENGKONSUMSI MAKANAN HALAL DALAM ISLAM DI PWBI KWALA BEKALA
Authors: Hizbullah Muhammad , Haidir Haidir
Published: April 2023

Manusia memiliki beberapa kebutuhan primer. Salah satu bentu kebutuhan primer manusia yaitu makanan dan minuman. Ketika manusia tidak makan dan minum dalam jangka dan waktu tertentu akan menyebabkan sakit maupun kematian. Dalam maqasid al-syariyah (tujuan syariat diturunkan) pemenuhan kebutuhan manusia akan makanan dan minuman termasuk dalam kerangka tersebut, seperti hifz al-nafs (menjaga jiwa), hifz al’aql dan hifz al-mal (menjaga harta). Islam sendiri telah memilah-milah makanan dan minuman yang dapat dikonsumsi dan yang mana yang tidak. Dengan standar dan syarat yarat makanan yang konsumsi harus halal dan baik. PWBI merupakan persatuan wirid batak Islam yang keanggotannya merupakan para muallaf (baru masuk Islam). Yang notabenanya masih sedikit pemahaman tentang agama Islam. Karena pentingnya pengetahuan tentang kriteria dan syarat makanan halal dalam Islam  untuk itu  perlu diadakan sosialisasi yang berkaitan dengan permasalahan makanan halal. Hasil pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini memberikan hasil yang positif, terlihat dari respon dan atusias yang baik dari anggota PWBI Kwala Bekala. Dengan adanya kegiatan ini mampu memberikan pemahaman dan wawasan serta pengetahuan yang baik bagi anggota PWBI bagaimana kriteria makanan yang halal dan toyyib (baik) dalam Islam, serta melihat hikmah pengsyariatan makanan yang halal dan baik dalam agama  Islam.
