An Investigation into how Primary Care Nurses Practices affect clinical competence in Emergency Maternal Obstetric and Newborn Care skills in Nakuru County
Authors: Kerich Clara Chepwogen , Mutungi Alice , Kubende Phidelis
Published: August 2024

To reduce the risks of maternal morbidity, mortality and newborn death worldwide, the use of high-quality emergency obstetric and new born care (EMONC) was proposed to ensure women and their babies receive high-quality care.  The government of Kenya with non-profit health programs have jointly invested resources with the aim of achieving SDG’s goal of zero rating maternal and neonatal death cases in the country.  Despite these efforts, maternal and neonatal death cases have not reduced significantly. Most of the contributing factors to the deaths occur in the lower levels of the health care delivery system. Majority of the health care providers at these levels are the primary care nurses. It is on this background that the study sought to investigate how primary care nurses practice affect clinical competency in emergency maternal, obstetric, and new born care skills in Nakuru county. Madeleine Leininger’s Transcultural Theory of Nursing anchored the study.  It deployed correlational cross-sectional survey design, targeting midwives and nurses in 184 KEPH level II and III facilities in all the 11 sub counties in Nakuru County.  The study used stratified sampling technique to sample 126 health facilities distributed in every Sub County. A sample size of 196 primary health care nurses from the sampled facilities were involved. Key informant interview and questionnaires were used to collect both qualitative and quantitative data.  To analyze data, SPSS version 26 was used to generate inferential and descriptive statistics, correlation analysis was carried using multiple regression model to ascertain the relationship between dependent and independent variables. Results found that Maternal and newborn care practice was found to have a significant positive relationship with competence in EmONC skills. (P<0.05). This was achieved through clean and safe delivery, thermal care and cord care which were carried out in KEPH level II and III facilities. It was concluded that maternal and neonatal care practices had positive significant relationship with competent EmONC. The study advised that the practice of fundamental maternal and newborn care has to be improved. The primary care nurses should be culturally competent in engaging the community members. Through community-based health care efforts, mothers need to be sensitized about delayed bathing, umbilical cord care, feeding, and thermal care for newborns. Further, County Government of Nakuru should support programs that enables primary health care nurses pursue maternal and neonatal care courses. County Government of Nakuru should ensure ambulance services are easily accessible to all, equipment availability at all time, consistent supply of all drugs needed and the need to create awareness among women, family and community members on newborn and early neonatal care

Authors: Dastgheyb Sana , Fernandez Christian , Werner-Wasik Maria , Farrell Christopher , Bilyk Jurij , Shields Carol , Sergott Robert C. , Shi Wenyin
Published: August 2024

Objective:

Optic nerve sheath meningiomas (ONSMs) are rare tumors that can cause significant visual problems due to their location along the optic nerve. Fractionated radiation therapy (RT) is the standard treatment, but data related to the discussion of visual outcomes are limited. No comprehensive guidelines exist to classify or define visual outcomes postoncological therapy. We propose the Wills Eye Visual Outcomes (WEVO) classification system to evaluate visual outcomes based on visual acuity, visual fields, and color vision status.

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed visual and radiographic outcomes for 29 ONSMs in 27 patients who were treated with fractionated stereotactic RT between 1997 and 2012.

Results:

Median radiation dose of 52.2 Gy (range, 50.4-55.8). Median visual and radiographic follow-ups were 7 years (range, 1-22 y) and 6 years (range, 2-18 y), respectively. Ultimately, progression-free survival was 100% at the last follow-up. Using the WEVO criteria, visual outcomes were determined to be improved, unchanged, or worsened. At the last follow-up, 11 cases had improved vision, 10 cases had unchanged vision, and 8 cases had worsened vision. Patients aged > 46, those presenting with large visual field defects, and those with color vision defects were more likely to have worsened visual outcomes following RT. Poor visual acuity at treatment and an observation time of > 6 months from presenting with symptoms to RT did not significantly correlate with worsening visual outcomes.

Conclusion:

We provide groundwork to predict individualized risk of blindness or worsened visual outcomes in the radiation of ONSMs.

Published: August 2024

UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights hadir sebagai pedoman dalam menyikapi relasi negatif antara bisnis dan HAM. Namun kontekstualisasinya tak kunjung terealisasi, sedangkan dalam 10 tahun terakhir perusahaan selalu menjadi pihak pelanggar HAM yang diadukan terbanyak kedua. Berdasarkan hal tersebut penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengejawantahkan UNGP sebagai kerangka pengaturan kegiatan bisnis di Indonesia. Penelitian menggunakan metode yuridis normatif, dengan pendekatan normatif, konseptual dan perbandingan. Hasil penelitian menegaskan bahwa pengadopsian UNGP dapat dilakukan melalui harmonisasi terhadap seluruh peraturan perundang-undangan serta membuat standarisasi kepatuhan HAM terkait dengan aktivitas korporasi yang diwujudkan dengan disyaratkannya uji tuntas HAM dalam setiap kegiatan bisnis di Indonesia.
PERLINDUNGAN HAM TERHADAP KEKERASAN FISIK DALAM RUMAH TANGGA
Authors: Dewi Aida
Published: August 2024

Kekerasan dalam rumah tangga sering terjadi karena adanya kesalahpahaman antara suami dan istri, dimana seorang perempuan harus tunduk kepada laki laki, hal inilah yang mengakibatkan terjadinya kekerasan dalam rumah tangga. Bentuk yang tidak adil yang lebih mengedepankan hak sosial atau orang lain daripada hak pribadi, pada umunya bias gender juga menempatkan perempuan pada posisi lemah, sehingga membuat laki laki lebih dominan dalam sistem keluarga dan masyarakat hal tersebut sangat merugikan bagi kaum perempuan yang dimana nantinya perempuan akan lebih sering mengalami kekerasan. Ragam bentuk kekerasan itu muncul dalam pola hubungan kekuasaan dilingkup rumah tangga, antara anggota rumah tangga tersebut yang tidak seimbang (asimetris). Karena pola relasi dalam rumah tangga dibangun atas dasar kepercayaan, maka ketika muncul kekersaan dalam rumah tangga, sebenarnya terjadi dua hal sekaligus, yaitu abuse of power (penyalahgunaan kekuasaan). Jadi, kekerasan bentuk ini bukan terjadi sendiri, melainkan terjadi dalam hubungan yang berlanjut, yang memunculkan ketergantungan dan kerentanan pada pihak korban. Penerapan Undang-Undang Penghapusan Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga untuk melindungi perempuan dan anak dari kekerasan fisik dalam rumah tangga belum nampak, sehingga hal ini semakin merebak di daerah-daerah khususnya wilayah hukum seluruh kabupaten di Provinsi Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Out put dari penelitian ini agar menjadi pengayaan ilmu dan pengetahuan yang terjadi di masyarakat dan diharapkan juga bisa diterbitkan dalam jurnal lokal maupun jurnal nasional terakreditasi.

Desarrollo de un Modelo Estructural de Gestión para la Implementación de Medidas de Producción más Limpia en el Sector Industrial en Lima-Perú
Authors: Yarin Achachagua Anwar Julio
Published: August 2024

La Producción Más Limpia (PML) varía por región debido a diferencias económicas y sociales. En industrias como la construcción, puede reducir el consumo energético, aunque en China estas políticas son limitadas. Se requieren estrategias de gestión integral para PML en pequeñas y medianas empresas, donde factores como períodos de amortización y falta de transparencia dificultan la adopción. En países desarrollados, PML ha avanzado gracias a normativas regionales, mientras que, en países en desarrollo, su adopción es voluntaria y necesita evaluaciones costo-beneficio. En Perú, a pesar de normas y compromisos con la COP 21, la implementación es limitada. El creciente consumo de recursos en la producción subraya la necesidad de desarrollo sostenible. Esta investigación propone un modelo de gestión para PML en Lima, evaluando factores internos y externos que afectan su implementación. Un enfoque integral que considere la influencia mutua de estos factores es esencial para estrategias efectivas. Se utilizó el enfoque de ecuaciones estructurales (PLS-SEM) para analizar estas relaciones, confirmando que una mejor gestión puede impulsar la sostenibilidad industrial.

Published: August 2024

Instilling the character values of tolerance in multicultural learning is a process of integrating attitudes of mutual respect and acceptance of differences in culture, religion, ethnicity, and other backgrounds in education. Therefore, this study aims to determine the validity of the instrument for instilling the character values of tolerance in multicultural learning. Data were obtained through the PISA database, 2018 edition, with code numbers SC017 and SC061. Data were analyzed with the help of the JASP (Jeffrey's Amazing Statistics Program) application with the CFA (Confirmatory Factor Analysis) analysis method. This study used primary data with 335 respondents from schools in Indonesia. The indicators used to measure the character value instillation instrument are the curriculum and multicultural learning. The CFI value = 0.999, NFI = 0.985, IFI = 0.999, and RNI = 0.999 have also been in accordance with the criteria applied to obtain the fit model. Thus, the character value instillation instruments whose validity was tested is included as fit. The implications of this study indicate that valid and fit assessment instruments can be applied in Indonesian schools to instill tolerance values through a multicultural curriculum. This helps policymakers and educators develop more inclusive and tolerant education programs, supporting harmonious living in diverse societies.

Published: August 2024

A feeding trial lasting for 28 days was conducted, involving 150 days old chicks which were randomly allocated to five dietary treatment with 3 replicate, of ten birds per replicate. The experimental diets consisted of 0%, 5%, 10%,15% and 20% inclusion level of Tithonia Diversifolia (wild sunflower) leaf protein concentrate to determine the effect of different level of Tithonia Diversifolia leaf protein concentrate on Haematological parameters of the birds. Haematological studies carried out were packed cell volume (PCV), Haemoglobin concentration (Hb), Red blood cell (RBC), white blood cells, Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) and Total protein, Albumin, Cholesterol. Packed Cell Volume obtained for the experimental bird varied significantly to each other with diet 3 having the highest value of 29.7±2.52 which was significantly different (p<0.05) to the value obtained for diet 1, 2 and 5. White blood cells values of 86.33± 185 at 10% level of Tithonia diversifolia leaf protein concentrate was the highest while diet 1 and 2 had the lowest. The highest cholesterol values was obtained from diet 1 and 4 with an average value of 5.37±0.47 and 5.20 respectively while the lowest cholesterol value was obtained from diet 3 which had 4.16 ± 0.33.The highest total protein value of 29.1 ± 0.15 was obtained at 10% inclusion level of Tithonia diversifolia leaf protein concentrate while the lowest values was seen on birds in diet. Feed in take value of birds on diet 3 with 10% inclusion level of Tithonia Diversifolia leaf protein concentrate was 99.8 ± 1.52 which is similar to diet 1 and 5 while the lowest feed intake was observed in birds at diet 2 having 94.1 ± 6.85 the birds on diet 3 (10% inclusion level) showed the highest weight gain followed by birds on the control diets.

Published: August 2024

This study aimed to fabricate thyroid shields made from Silicone Rubber (SR)-Cooper (Cu) material, analyze the effectiveness of SR-Cu shields in reducing radiation dose, and compare them with tube current modulation (TCM) in computed tomography (CT) examination. Thyroid shields were made from SR-Cu with Cu percentages of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%. The thyroid shields were positioned over the neck of the anthropomorphic phantom. Scanning was performed using a GE 128-slice CT scanner with fixed tube current of 150 mA and tube current modulation (TCM). The elatiscity of thyroid shields was tested using an universal testing machine (UTM). The ability of thyroid shields for dose reduction was measured using a 10X6-3CT Radcal detector, and quality of the resulted images was characterized with metric of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the anterior, posterior, and lateral areas of the neck area of anthropomorphic phantom. It is found that the elasticity of the thyroid shields increased from 0.09 to 0.12 N/mm2 for Cu percentages from 0 to 20%. The measured dose decreased as the percentage of Cu increased. 20% of SR-Cu was able to reduce the dose by 32.4% for the fix tube current. In comparison, the TCM technique reduced the dose by 44.5%. Therefore, dose reduction using the developed shields is lower than using TCM approach. It is also found that implementation of the thyroid shields did not reduce image quality significantly. It is found that there were no apparent artifacts in the images. The highest SNR was found in the image with 20% SR-Cu, which was 3.84. In comparison, the SNR using the TCM approach was 3.59. In conclusion SR-Cu shields were successfully developed and they reduced dose with relatively consistent of image quality.

Background: To determine the quality of YouTube videos about premature ovarian failure (POF), and variations in quality of professional YouTube videos about POF.
Methods: The selected terms including ‘POF’, ‘premature ovarian insufficiency’, ‘POF, infertility’, ‘POF, symptoms’, ‘POF, diagnosis’, and ‘POF treatment’ were searched on YouTube. Totally, 100 videos each uploaded by professional and non-professional sources were included. Characteristics of videos were noted and quality of YouTube videos were analyzed according to Global Quality Score (GQS) and modified DISCERN scale. The two groups were compared in terms of video characteristics, GQS, and modified DISCERN score. Videos uploaded by professional sources were categorized into two different groups from the first 5 years and the last 5 years, and compared.
Results: The mean number of views was 2961 for professional videos and 2003 for non-professional videos (p= 0.006), and the mean duration of videos was 10 minutes for professional videos and 6 minutes for non-professional videos (p= 0.001). When professional videos in the last 10 years were evaluated, number of views and ‘likes’ were significantly higher in favor of professional videos between 2014-2018 (p= 0.033 vs. p= 0.037). Video duration was significantly shortened for videos between 2019-2023 (p= 0.002). Patients as the target audience dominated videos prepared in the last 5 years (p= 0.001). Professional videos had significantly higher GQS and modified DISCERN score (p= 0.001 for each parameter). Moreover, GQS and modified DISCERN scores of professional videos increased significantly in the last 5 years (p= 0.001 vs. p= 0.023).
Conclusions: Professional YouTube videos about POF had significantly higher quality and ‘like’ numbers, and the quality of professional YouTube videos about POF significantly increased in the last five years. The proportion of professional videos about POF being prepared for patients increased significantly in the last 5 years, but video length of professional videos significantly decreased.

The earliest stages of low-mass star formation are unclear, with the first hydrostatic core (FHSC) as the transition stage between a prestellar and protostellar core. This work describes the local (∼4000 au) outflow activity associated with candidate FHSC Chamaeleon-MMS1 and its effect on the surrounding material to determine the evolutionary state of this young low-mass source. We observed Chamaeleon-MMS1 with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array at 220 GHz at high spatial (∼75 au) and spectral resolutions (0.1–0.3 km s−1). A low-energy outflow is detected, consisting of two components, a broad spectral feature (Δv ∼ 8 km s−1) to the northeast and narrow spectral features (Δv ∼ 1 km s−1) to both the northeast and southwest. The molecular tracers CS, formaldehyde (H2CO), and methanol (CH3OH) were used to analyze the effect of the outflows on the surrounding gas and determine its rotational temperature. The rotational temperature of H2CO is 40 K toward the continuum source with similarly low temperatures (10–75 K) toward clumps affected by the outflow. CH3OH is only detected toward gas clumps located away from the continuum source, where the methanol is expected to have been released by the energy of the outflow through ice sputtering. While molecular emission and high outflow speeds rule Cha-MMS1 out as an FHSC, its outflow is less energetic than those of other Class 0 objects and its physical properties are within the range covered by other low-luminosity protostars. The inferred gas temperatures toward the continuum source are also relatively low, indicating that Cha-MMS1 is one of the youngest known sources.

receiver on JCMT for AGC 102004. The velocity field of Hα shows an anomalous distribution in the northwestern (NW) disk. The Hα spectrum is well-fitted by two Gaussian components, and the weak Gaussian component is dominated by the anomalous Hα in the NW disk. The Gaussian fit center of Hα emission is offset by +24.2 km s−1 from the systemic velocity obtained from the H i emission. We derive the gas-phase metallicity, 12+log(O/H), using [N II]λ6583/Hα ratio as a proxy. The mean value of 12+log(O/H) is 8.30 ± 0.19 over the whole galaxy. The metallicity in the outer disk is lower than the detection limit of 7.72, indicating the metallicity gradient exists in AGC 102004. We speculate a minor/mini-merger event could have happened to the NW disk. CO(2–1) emission has nondetection in AGC 102004, reaching a noise level of 0.33 mK smoothed to 30 km s−1. The upper limit of molecular gas mass in AGC 102004 is 2.1 × 107

New records of birds from Central Vietnam
Authors: Le Hung , Ho Thang , Le Trung , Nguyen Hoa , Nguyen Thach
Published: August 2024

There has been a series of bird surveys conducted in Vietnam over the last 20 years. However, most of these studies and surveys have focused on sites in Tonkin, the Red River Delta, Cochinchina (Mekong Delta), the Central Highlands and mountainous areas of Central Annam (Central region of Vietnam). The central coastal plain as well as the mountainous region of North Annam have rarely been comprehensively investigated.

As a result of our field surveys in 2023 and 2024, a total of 15 species of birds are recorded for the first time from North, Central and South Annam, comprising one Frigate-Bird species (Fregatidae), one ibis (Threskiornithidae), one reed-warbler (Acrocephalidae), one Treecreeper (Certhiidae), two buntings (Emberizidae), one chat (Muscicapidae), one yuhina (Zosteropidae), two nuthatches (Sittidae), two members of the laughingthrush family (Leiothrichidae) and three bulbuls (Pycnonotidae). In addition to photographs confirming the new records, we provide information on the distribution and conservation status of these newly-recorded bird species from Central Vietnam.

Published: August 2024

Práticas experimentais se destacam como metodologias de ensino interessantes, permitindo cativar, motivar, promover o ato de fazer ciências, além de despertar o senso crítico nos discentes. Assim, o presente trabalho espera facilitar a compreensão do tema sobre fermentação (alcoólica e acética), em uma ótica interdisciplinar de ensino, envolvendo a Química e a Biologia para os alunos do Ensino Médio. Nesse sentido, propôs-se o uso de materiais simples e de baixo custo em uma sequência didática com atividades experimentais envolvendo a fermentação alcoólica (bebida fermentada do tepache) e acética com a formação de vinagre de maçã. Com as atividades propostas, busca-se que os discentes possam vivenciar a aplicação de uma reação química, preparo de substâncias, manuseio de vidrarias e o conhecimento da estrutura de moléculas orgânicas advindas do processo fermentativo. Com a Biologia, será possível o entendimento dos processos biológicos da fermentação alcoólica e acética, além da sua importância no cotidiano e na indústria alimentícia. Como resultados esperados, a atividade proposta permite desmistificar a complexidade do tema, tornando possível uma aprendizagem mais efetiva por parte dos alunos, além de popularizar o ato de fazer ciências, com a formulação e resposta de hipóteses, e contribuir para um ensino que é aplicável e que faz parte da vivência dos estudantes.
Performance comparison of three commercial multiplex molecular panels for respiratory viruses at a South African academic hospital

Published: August 2024

Background: Respiratory infections are a major contributor to hospital admissions. Identification of respiratory pathogens by means of conventional culture and serology methods remains challenging. Multiplex molecular assays are an appealing alternative that endeavours to be rapid, more accurate and less arduous.Objective: The study aimed to compare the clinical performance of three commercial multiplex molecular assays for respiratory viruses.Methods: Forty-eight respiratory specimens obtained from patients at Tygerberg Hospital in the Western Cape province of South Africa were studied. These specimens were collected between May 2020 and August 2020. The results of the Seegene Anyplex™ II RV16, FilmArray® Respiratory 2.1 plus Panel (FARP), and QIAstat-Dx® Respiratory SARS-CoV-2 Panel (QRP) were analysed based on the overlapping targets. A composite reference standard was applied to provide a standard reference for comparison.Results: The overall sensitivity of the Seegene Anyplex™ II RV16 was 96.6% (57/59), the FARP 98.2% (56/57) and the QRP 80.7% (46/57). The overall specificities were 99.8% (660/661), 99.0% (704/711) and 99.7% (709/711), respectively. The QRP failed to detect coronaviruses and parainfluenza viruses in 41.7% (5/12) and 28.6% (4/14) of positive specimens, respectively, while the FARP produced the lowest target specificity of 88.4% (38/43) for rhinovirus/enterovirus.Conclusion: The overall specificity of all three platforms was comparable; however, the sensitivity of the QRP was inferior to that of the ARV and FARP.What this study adds: This study adds to the body of performance characteristics described for respiratory multiplex panels, especially in the African context where molecular diagnostics for infectious diseases are gaining momentum.
Interaction Effect of Psoriasis and Cancer on the Risk of All-Cause Mortality: A Prospective Cohort Study of NHANES Data
Authors: Si Zixiang , Zhao Honglei , Ying Jieya
Published: August 2024

Background:

The relationship between psoriasis, cancer, and mortality has been reported in observational studies. Considering the high heterogeneity in systematic review and meta-analysis and inconsistent results in previous studies, the association between psoriasis, cancer, and mortality warrants more investigation. The primary objective of this study was to explore the joint impact of psoriasis and cancer on mortality in a representative cohort of adults residing in the United States.

Methods:

We analysed comprehensive data obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Study conducted during the periods of 2003–2006 and 2009–2014. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the relationship between psoriasis and cancer. The vital status of participants was tracked until 31 December 2019. A four-level variable combining information on psoriasis and cancer was created, and survival probability was evaluated using the Kaplan–Meier curve and Cox regression analysis. Hazard ratios (HRs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to analyse the association between psoriasis/cancer and all-cause mortality.

Results:

In total, this study included 15,234 participants, among whom 418 had psoriasis and 1213 had cancer. The findings from the logistic regression analyses indicated a heightened risk of cancer among individuals with psoriasis in comparison to those without psoriasis. Moreover, the risk of skin cancer was higher in participants with psoriasis compared to those without psoriasis. Compared with individuals without cancer and psoriasis, the all-cause mortality HRs were 1.25 (95% CI: 0.87–1.78) for individuals with psoriasis only, 1.48 (95% CI: 1.20–1.82) for participants with cancer only, and 2.28 (95% CI: 1.12–4.63) for individuals with both psoriasis and cancer.

Conclusion:

The results of our study demonstrated a noteworthy and positive correlation between psoriasis, cancer, and all-cause mortality. These findings indicate that individuals who have both psoriasis and cancer face an increased likelihood of mortality.
