Authors: Orr Matt , Isaacs Jason , Ilie Alzena , Chambers Christine T. , Smith Isabel M. , Corkum Penny
Published: October 2023

Disruptive classroom behaviour (DCB) is highly prevalent and is associated with poor outcomes. Although effective, in-class interventions exist for disruptive behaviour, several barriers prevent teachers from using them. The current systematic review and meta-analysis take a unique approach to the literature by focusing on teacher-implemented in-class interventions. The aims of the systematic review and meta-analysis are to (a) to identify studies that evaluated teacher-implemented in-class interventions for DCB in the extant literature, (b) extract characteristics of the interventions related to implementation (e.g., time commitment, training required), and (c) estimate an overall effect size of the interventions on DCB. A systematic review, conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement, identified 45 articles included in the final review, of which 27 were included in the meta-analysis. Intervention characteristics were summarized for the 28 identified interventions. The combined effect size of the studies was positive and large when estimated using a random-effects model. The results suggest that while there is evidence for the effectiveness of these interventions, the poor methodological quality of the included studies may inflate the effectiveness. These results also suggest future directions for research regarding teacher-implemented in-class interventions for DCB.
Afropolitanism, Marginal Identity and Culture Shock in Tendai Huchu’s the Maestro, the Magistrate and the Mathematician
Authors: Oaikhena Abigail Onowosemenmen
Published: October 2023

Noting the dynamics of cultural interference on migrants, there is a conscious concern towards the sustainability of true African cultural values and identity by African migrants living in the diaspora, as their hybridized African cultural disposition, appears quite superficial. Evidently, with the presence of a stronger force, influence or interference, there is bound to be domination and monopolization of the smaller units or margins. Thereby, eradicating or totally altering a people’s cultural history, as their afropolitan manifestations, of maintaining their individual Africaness in these western societies or spaces slowly succumbs and fades off. Given the overwhelming nature of the higher force and having been treated or regarded as the marginal or invisible identity, by denying them their rights and privileges. Hence, it becomes natural, for their prodigies to align and identify with the stronger force, in furtherance, losing them to the western foreign cultures and tradition. Thus, Huchu’s novel, The Maestro, The Magistrate and The Mathematician, seeks to address the danger involved in migrating and getting hybridized. So, within the purview of cultural coexistence, superiority and dominance, Homi Bhabha’s Hybridity theory, therefore helps to interrogate and highlight the unspoken pains and hurt of being in the third space of the hybridized.

Modelo para determinação da temperatura de água em rios
Authors: Gonçalves de Macedo e Silva Carmen
Published: October 2023

As variações sazonais e diárias das temperaturas da água determinam a distribuição das espécies aquáticas e a química da água. Alguns autores conseguiram estimar a temperatura da água usando apenas a temperatura do ar. Uma análise de sensibilidade, bem realizada, é capaz de avaliar as variações de temperatura do rio em resposta a mudanças nas condições hidráulicas e meteorológicas. Nesse sentido, a modelagem da qualidade da água envolve a previsão de parâmetros usando técnicas de simulação matemática. Para tanto modelos computacionais de previsão da temperatura da água do rio podem ser utilizados. O método de decomposição modal empírica (EMD) é ideal para analisar conjuntos de dados como os de temperatura, que são oscilatórios. Entre os modelos de temperatura da água do rio, os modelos de regressão linear simples que utilizam como entrada somente a temperatura do ar aplicados para dados semanais e/ou mensais demonstram ter alta eficiência.

Authors: Ok Hyun-Soo , Han Sang-Jin , Choi Yang-Seon , Yang Du-Bin , Choi Kyung-A , Kim Woo-Sung
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Cyclops lesions or arthrofibrotic nodules of the knee, first described by Jackson and Schaefer, occur in the anterior aspect of the intercondylar notch. Arthroscopically, they appear as head-like fibrous lesions with reddish-blue discoloration areas and consist of a pedunculated nodule of fibrovascular proliferative tissue, with or without bone or cartilaginous tissue. The cyclops lesion is a localized arthrofibrotic nodule most commonly seen following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction but rare on posterior cruciate ligament injuries (PCL). In this study, we present a novel case of cyclops lesion from a minor PCL injury without laxity or previous surgery. Case Presentation: A 37-year-old man visited the outpatient clinic complaining of mild knee pain, intermittent locking, and extension discomfort after minor trauma. These symptoms started 3 weeks prior, during his usual baseball activity. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an intact ACL. Still, it had a partially injured PCL, a small suprapatellar effusion, and a cyclops lesion (2.4 × 3.4 × 2.5 cm) in the intercondylar notch of the femur, originating from the PCL. An arthroscopy confirmed and excised a cyclops lesion originating from the PCL. The microscopic findings included congested blood vessels of irregular-sized veins and hemorrhagic necrosis within the wavy ligament tissues, which confirmed its origin from the ligament tissue. After arthroscopic excision, the patient’s symptoms were relieved without laxity. Conclusions: While most of these lesions can be treated efficiently by arthroscopy, the differential diagnosis should be performed for unique cases with a lesion from minor PCL injury without laxity or previous surgery.

Authors: Rahimzadeh Vahid , Setoodehzadeh Fatemeh , Salavati Sedigheh , Khosravi Mahnaz
Published: October 2023

Background: The health transformation plan (HTP) in Iran started in May 2013 with 3 financial support approaches for people, creating justice in access to health services and improving the quality of services in hospitals in 2 health and treatment sectors. In the first phase, this program was divided into 8 separate packages in the treatment section, reducing the amount of payment for hospitalized patients, supporting the longevity of doctors in disadvantaged areas, the presence of resident specialist doctors in hospitals, improving the quality of visiting services in hospitals, improving the quality of hoteling in hospitals, and financial support of incurable, special and low-income patients. It refers to promoting natural childbirth and launching an air emergency service. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effect of HTP on bed occupancy rate, average length of stay, and bed rotation distance in one of the most deprived areas. Methods: This study was a semi-experimental and retrospective descriptive-analytical study before and after the health system transformation plan based on the information collected from March 2012 to March 2019 in all Sistan and Baluchistan province hospitals. The data of indicators of monthly bed occupancy rate, average length of stay, and bed rotation interval in 83 months in the years before and after the implementation of the transformation plan were collected from the Vice-Chancellor of Treatment of Universities or the statistical units of hospitals and compared. The data were analyzed by Stata software using the interrupted time series (ITS) model, and split regression analysis was used to evaluate the short-term and long-term effects of HTP on the studied indicators. Results: This study showed that the bed occupancy rate increased, and the average length of stay and bed turnover interval decreased immediately after HTP in Sistan and Baluchistan province hospitals. Also, the reform had a long effect on these indicators. Conclusions: Possibly due to underdeveloped hospitalization services in the past, the bed occupancy rate increased, and the average length of stay and bed turnover interval decreased in the hospitals after this province's major health system reform.

Objectives: This study assessed the effectiveness of mindfulness-based counseling on the health-promoting lifestyle in Iranian middle-aged women. Methods: An experimental study was conducted with a pretest-posttest design and a control group involving 48 middle-aged women who were referred to Comprehensive Health Services Center No. 1 in Lordegan, Iran. The study was initiated in October 2020 and finished in February 2021. The first step was to recruit women through convenience sampling and then randomly assign them to the intervention (n = 24) and control (n = 24) groups. The intervention group received mindfulness counseling from a trained midwife once a week for 8 weeks. Walker's health-promoting lifestyle profile II (HPLP II) was completed at the beginning of the study and 4 weeks after the intervention. Independent and paired t-tests, chi-square, and Fisher's exact tests were used for data analysis in SPSS v. 24. Statistical significance was attributed to a P-value of less than 0.05. Results: Before any intervention, no notable difference was detected in the average health promotion lifestyle in the intervention (113.04 ± 24.05) and control (109.41 ± 15.68) groups (P = 0.539) and the dimensions of both groups (P > 0.05). However, the intervention group showed a significantly higher mean (151.66 ± 14.01) for the health-promoting lifestyle than the control group (107.75 ± 12.27) following the counseling sessions (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Enhancing the health-promoting lifestyle and, subsequently, the quality of life of middle-aged women can be achieved through mindfulness counseling. Therefore, the administration of group counseling incorporating mindfulness techniques is recommended for this population.
