Authors: Mohd Basir Jamilah , Zain Azizah , Azmi Siti Hartini
Published: November 2024

This study aims to obtain expert agreement on the components and tests for the design and development of health-related physical fitness assessment framework in Malaysian preschool children. The development of this evaluation framework uses a Fuzzy Delphi method. Questionnaires were distributed to a total of 17 samples who were involved as field experts in the design and development process. The fitness component questionnaire consists of six section, namely; (1) demographic information; (2) body composition components; (3) cardiovascular endurance components; (4) hand muscle endurance components; (5) leg muscle strength components; and (6) flexibility components. Meanwhile, the fitness test questionnaire also has eight sections, namely; (1) demographic information; (2) body mass index; (3) body fat percentage measurement; (4) 20 meter shuttle run; (5) 1200 meter run; (6) hand grip; (7) standing long jump; and (8) sit-and-reach test. Data was analysed using the Fuzzy Delphi analysis template, showed that body composition components, cardiovascular endurance components, hand muscle endurance components, leg muscle strength components, and flexibility components were accepted as components of the assessment framework. Body mass index, shuttle run, hand grip, standing long jump, and sit-and-reach tests were accepted for each component, respectively. This is because the components and tests have met the requirements of the triangular fuzzy number, namely, the threshold value (d) ≤ 0.2 and the percentage of expert agreement ≥ 75%. This study has produced a health-related physical fitness assessment framework in Malaysian preschool children that can be used by various stakeholders, especially the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE) in improving the physical fitness of preschool children.

Authors: Belash Tatyana A.
Published: November 2024

Introduction. In seismically active areas, structures made of various materials are widespread, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Materials and methods. Among the existing materials, metal and wood stand out, which are used for the manufacture of various structures in both civil and industrial buildings.
Results. The active use of these structures in seismic areas makes it possible to create structural solutions that can resist seismic effects of various frequency composition and intensity. At the same time, when choosing a material, special attention should be paid to the influence of the prevailing frequency or period of an earthquake on the behavior of the construction site. The article presents the results of research on this influence and some examples of the implementation of structural solutions made of metal and wood.

Introduction. One of the main problems with Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is its tendency to recur. The objective of the study is to analyze which factors in the clinical management of CDI favor recurrence. Material and methods. This is a retrospective study conducted at the Hospital Universitario Príncipe de Asturias on cases of CDI between January 2021 and June 2023. Demographic variables, comorbidities, risk factors for recurrence, and treatments used for CDI were recorded. Non-optimal clinical management was defined as: not discontinuing treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) if the patient was on them, not discontinuing concomitant antibiotic treatments if the patient was on these, the use of metronidazole monotherapy in any case, or the use of standard-dose vancomycin if there were risk factors for recurrence. Results. A total of 327 cases were found in 256 patients. 69 patients died within 8 weeks after the episode (26.9%). Among the remaining 258 episodes, there were 68 recurrences (26.3%). Of these 68 recurrences, 63 cases received nonoptimal treatment (93.2%), compared to 112/190 (58.9%) among those who did not recur. In the multivariate analysis adjusted for confounding factors, patients who received optimal treatment had an 89% lower risk of recurrence compared to those who did not receive it (OR 0.1; p < 0.001). Conclusions. Reducing the use of PPIs and antibiotics and prioritizing more effective treatments against CDI could improve the recurrence rates of this infection.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to evaluate the effect of implementing Quipper School on students' learning independence in Biology subjects at SMPK Citra Bangsa Mandiri Kupang. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, involving 60 students divided into two groups: an experimental group using Quipper School and a control group using conventional learning methods. The results showed that there was a significant increase in students' learning independence in the experimental group compared to the control group, with the results of the independent t-test showing a p value <0.05 and a large effect size (Cohen's d = 0.84). The results indicate that Quipper School is resourceful as a medium for learning autonomy which enables the provision of access to materials, automatic assessment and real-time feedback features that can encourage students' autonomous studies. While this study still have weakness regarding to the generalization of its findings, it gives an implication for educators and policy makers that integrating educational technology in curriculum increases engagement. Future studies will benefit from including larger, and more diverse samples to support the generalizability of these results.

Published: November 2024

Multiple studies have demonstrated that human activities have significant impacts on aquatic ecosystems, particularly in coastal areas. The COVID-19 pandemic, along with the sharp decline in industrial, transportation, and tourism activities, provided an opportunity to examine the impact of these changes on seawater quality in this study, using MODIS-Aqua satellite data, changes in key seawater quality indicators, including chlorophyll-a, dissolved organic matter, and suspended particles, were evaluated in the coastal and offshore areas of the Southern Caspian Sea basin during pre-lockdown and lockdown periods. The data analysis results showed a significant reduction in chlorophyll-a concentration in coastal areas and in dissolved organic matter in both coastal and offshore areas during the lockdown period. More specifically, this reduction was 24.9% and 40.7% for chlorophyll-a, and 22.1% and 19.5% for dissolved organic matter in coastal and offshore areas, respectively. The decline in these indicators reflects an improvement in seawater quality and a reduction in organic pollutant loads in these areas. The findings of this study highlight that reduced human activities have visibly positive effects on marine aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, continuous monitoring of bio-optical parameters changes and improving wastewater treatment processes before discharge into aquatic environments are of particular importance. This study also demonstrates that global pandemics can provide experimental opportunities to study the effects of human activities on the environment.

Root-knot nematode (RKN) is an important group of plant pathogens with wide distribution among tropical and temperate areas with extensive host range among cultivated and wild plants. Tropical RKN species M. incognita, M. javanica and M. arenaria are distributed in temperate areas of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. This study focused on virulence of RKN fauna on tomato crop from highlands Poonch division and their virulence study on 7 leading tomato cultivars with objective of resistance identification among accepted cultivars grown in the region. Tomato was found cultivated on 68% of surveyed sites, while 78.5% fields were found infested with RKN. Galling index was higher than 5.9 on 34 locations, among them 21 farms were located above 4500-6800ft from sea level which was not usual. RKN found infesting as single species, ore in combinations of three. Highest virulent strain combinations of RKN was used to check the performance of leading tomato cultivars in greenhouse. Screening results showed Sahel, Adventa and Roma as resistance genotypes against RKN while Hero and yellow pear were found moderately resistant, while Black cherry moderately susceptible and Money maker highly susceptible even in temperate conditions. Sahel and Hero were found with least infested with 30% and 38% disease incidence. The study will help in reducing RKN threat on low temperature highland areas by cultivating of resistant genotypes reducing RKN reproduction by providing as opportunity for sustainable yield

Published: November 2024

Chocolate is a popular confectionery worldwide and thus, there is a need to improve the nutritional quality of chocolates. Broccoli leaves which are normally disposed as wastes were turned into the fillings of chocolates to enhance the quality of chocolates. This research aimed to propose the best formulation of chocolate incorporated with broccoli leaves jellies. Six formulations of broccoli leaves jellies (F1: 1.25%, F2: 5.00%, F3: 8.75%, F4: 12.50%, F5: 16.25% and F6: 20.00%) were incorporated into chocolates of fixed formulation. F2, with 5.00% of broccoli leaves was chosen as the best formulation on the basis of sensory evaluation and physiochemical tests which included water activity (aw) and hardness tests. Subsequently, F2 was compared with the control from the aspects of proximate compositions, melting properties and antioxidant capacity. F2 recorded higher proximate compositions, except for moisture and crude fat content than the control. Higher melting properties, total phenolic and flavonoid contents together with a lower half maximal effective concentration (EC50) were seen in F2 as compared to the control. Thus, the upcycling of broccoli leaves as food ingredients is a feasible one as proven in this study. Overall, we can also expect the valorization of broccoli leaves in the development of other functional food products.
A Theory-Based Nursing Intervention to Improve Self-Management Behavior and Health Status in Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes and Frailty
Authors: Wu Pei , Liao Li
Published: November 2024

Purpose

To evaluate the effectiveness of a nursing intervention based on the integration theory of health behavior change (ITHBC) in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and frailty.

Method

This cluster randomized controlled trial has a two-group pre-/posttest design. The intervention group received a 12-week nursing intervention based on the ITHBC and routine health education, whereas the control group only received routine health education. Self-management, frailty, quality of life, fasting blood glucose, body mass index (BMI), grip strength, and functional mobility were measured.

Results

Seventy-one participants (intervention group,
n
= 35; control group,
n
= 36) completed the entire study. After the intervention, participants in the intervention group exhibited significant improvements in self-management (all
p
< 0.001), frailty level (
p
= 0.006), quality of life (all
p
< 0.001), and grip strength (
p
< 0.05), and maintained ideal fasting blood glucose levels (
p
< 0.05) compared to participants in the control group. However, there were no statistically significant differences in BMI and functional mobility (
p
> 0.05).

Conclusion

The 12-week nursing intervention based on the ITHBC could enhance self-management, reduce frailty, improve quality of life and grip strength, and maintain optimal fasting blood glucose levels in older adults with T2DM. [

Authors: Chen Kaylie , Engelhard Stephanie B. , Van Tassel Sarah H. , Kovacs Kyle D.
Published: November 2024

To identify real-world complications involving flanged scleral tunnel fixation of Zeiss CT Lucia 602 intraocular lenses, the Food and Drug Administration Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (FDA MAUDE) was searched by Manufacturer field for Zeiss with the terms “Yamane” and “scleral fixated”. Reports containing these terms were reviewed to confirm technique and categorize adverse events. The search yielded 178 confirmed reports of lens malfunctions for CT Lucia 602 between 2013 to 2024, with 95% of reports in the last 3 years. The most common complication was lens tilt (94 reports), followed by breakage (53) comprised of haptic-optic disinsertion (31) and haptic breakage (22). Intraoperatively, 118 (66.3%) complications occurred, and 60 (33.7%) occurred postoperatively. Temporal analysis revealed that the number of reports to MAUDE has shown a ten-fold annual increase since 2020. Reports suggest haptic breakage is a noteworthy malfunction for CT Lucia 602 lenses. The occurrence of intraoperative breakage and lens tilt may be higher than previously expected in real-world settings.

Cohomology of Hopf algebras and Massey products
Authors: Buchstaber Victor Matveevich , Popelenskii Fedor Yur'evich
Published: November 2024

The theory of the trigraded Buchstaber spectral sequence $\operatorname{Bss}$ for graded Hopf algebras is developed. It is shown that the differentials of $\operatorname{Bss}$ define an increasing exhaustive filtration as a new structure in the cohomology of Hopf algebras. This structure is described explicitly for a number of known Hopf algebras.
For the tensor algebra $T(s \operatorname{Ext}^{1,*}_{A}(\Bbbk,\Bbbk))$ of the suspension of the one-dimensional cohomology of a Hopf algebra $A$ over a field $\Bbbk$, the construction of partial multivalued operations $\operatorname{Bss}_p$, $p\geqslant 1$, is presented. This construction is used to describe the differentials in the spectral sequence $\operatorname{Bss}$ and the exhaustive filtration in
$\operatorname{Ext}_{A}^{*,*}(\Bbbk,\Bbbk)$.
It is shown that the structure introduced is an effective tool for solving several well-known problems:
(1) realising cohomology classes of Hopf algebras by Massey products;
(2) interpreting differentials in $\operatorname{Bss}$ as Massey operations;
(3) effective construction of a certain class of Massey products in the form of differentials in $\operatorname{Bss}$.

Higher caloric intake through enteral nutrition is associated with lower hospital mortality rates in patients with candidemia and shock in Taiwan
Authors: Wang Chen-Yu , Wang Tsai-Jung , Wu Yu-Cheng , Hsu Chiann-Yi
Published: November 2024

Background: Candidemia is associated with markedly high intensive care unit (ICU) mortality rates. Although the Impact of Early Enteral vs. Parenteral Nutrition on Mortality in Patients Requiring Mechanical Ventilation and Catecholamines (NUTRIREA-2) trial indicated that early enteral nutrition (EN) did not reduce 28-day mortality rates among critically ill patients with shock, the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) guidelines recommend avoiding EN in cases of uncontrolled shock. Whether increased caloric intake from EN positively impacts clinical outcomes in patients with candidemia and shock remains unclear.Methods: We retrospectively collected data from a tertiary medical center between January 2015 and December 2018. We enrolled patients who developed shock within the first 7 days following ICU admission and received a diagnosis of candidemia during their ICU stay. Patients with an ICU stay shorter than 48 hours were excluded.Results: The study included 106 patients, among whom the hospital mortality rate was 77.4% (82 patients). The median age of the patients was 71 years, and the median Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score was 29. The Cox regression model revealed that a higher 7-day average caloric intake through EN (hazard ratio, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.44–0.83) was significantly associated with lower hospital mortality rates. Our findings suggest EN as the preferred feeding route for critically ill patients with shock.Conclusions: Increased caloric intake through EN may be associated with lower hospital mortality rates in patients with candidemia and shock.

During the 33rd Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) football tournament in Cameroon, organizers and health authorities required a negative SARS-CoV-2 test result <48 hours before entry and provided free SARS-CoV-2 testing and vaccination at stadium and fan zone entrances. We describe the outcomes and implementation of mandatory SARS-CoV-2 testing at fan zones during AFCON. All consenting fan zones attendees were administered an electronic questionnaire capturing exposure factors, COVID-19-like symptoms, and COVID-19 vaccination status, before being tested for SARS-CoV-2 using an antigen rapid diagnostic test (Ag-RDT). Participants testing positive were sampled for confirmatory real-time SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing for variant surveillance. The case detection rate was estimated using PCR-confirmed cases, and the challenges were summarized from staff discussions and project/study documentation. In total, 4,820 fan zone attendees (median [interquartile range] age 30 [24–38], 27.7% females) were tested for SARS-CoV-2, including 1,228 (25.5%) fully vaccinated. Of 4,820 participants, 148 (3.1%) had a positive Ag-RDT result, of whom 67 consented to PCR testing and 19 of 64 (29.7%) were confirmed PCR-positive. The case detection rate was 40.1 (95% CI: 24.2–62.7) per 10,000 attendees. The Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) was found in all 11 samples successfully sequenced. The implementation of mandatory SARS-CoV-2 Ag-RDT at fan zone entrances was challenged by high attendance volume just prior to matches, lobbying of economic stakeholders, and inconsistent quality assurance when using test kits. Despite the challenges encountered, implementing mandatory SARS-CoV-2 Ag-RDT at fan zones, was a unique opportunity for SARS-CoV-2 case identification and genomic surveillance.

Authors: Bousbaa Hamza , NAIMA Khatir , Lamia Medjahed , Benramdane Mohammed , Balasubramanian Dhinesh , Johnson Anish Jafrin Thilak
Published: November 2024

Biofuels are gaining significant global attention as renewable and alternative
energy sources, produced from various materials through different extraction
methods and conversion processes. Food industry generates not only substantial
organic waste, presenting economic and ecological challenges but also potential
opportunities for valorization. This study focuses on recovering industrial fish
waste from the manufacture of canned tuna, specifically targeting non-food and
abundant fish co-products such as heads, bones, skin, and viscera, which
constitute nearly 50% of the fish body. The process involves several steps: oil
extraction using Soxhlet extraction, purification, and conversion into biodiesel
via transesterification, followed by physicochemical analysis. The experiments
revealed that 32.41% of fish waste was in the liquid phase (a mixture of hexane
and oil), and the extracted oil accounted for 26.56% of the total fish waste
weight (from 1.012 kg of waste, approximately 268.78 g of oil was extracted,
equivalent to 280.36 mL). The fatty acid composition influenced the cetane
number of the biodiesel. Two types of biodiesel (methyl and ethyl esters) were
produced from the extracted fish oil through transesterification with methanol
or ethanol and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The analysis showed
that the produced biodiesels possess properties similar to conventional diesel,
indicating their suitability for use in diesel engines. This research highlights
the potential of fish waste valorization to reduce fossil fuel consumption and
promote sustainable energy solutions.
Optimizing clinical decision-making for ruptured intracranial aneurysms: Current applications and future directions of computed tomography angiography
Authors: Le Xing-Yan , Zhang Jin-Rui , Feng Jun-Bang , Li Chuan-Ming
Published: November 2024

Ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIAs) are a leading cause of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and are associated with a poor prognosis and high mortality rate. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is the preferred imaging modality for the diagnosis of RIAs, as it is considered to be a fast, economical, and less invasive method. In this letter, regarding an original study presented by Elmokadem et al , we present our insights and discuss how CTA can better assist in clinical decision-making for patients with RIAs complicated by SAH.

Lặp lại tính từ đơn âm tiết (单音节形容词重叠) là một điểm ngữ pháp cực kỳ quan trọng trong tiếng Hán, đồng thời cũng là một biện pháp tu từ phổ biến. Tuy nhiên, việc vận dụng tốt hình thức lặp lại tính từ đơn âm tiết luôn là vấn đề khó khăn mà mỗi sinh viên Ngôn ngữ Trung Quốc (NNTQ) phải đối mặt. Thông qua kiểm tra và khảo sát khả năng vận dụng hình thức lặp lại tính từ đơn âm tiết, tác giả đã phát hiện ra năm lỗi mà sinh viên Trường Đại học Trà Vinh (TVU) thường mắc phải khi sử dụng hình thức lặp lại của tính từ đơn âm tiết, một là lỗi sai khi kết hợp tính từ lặp lại và phó từ chỉ mức độ, hai là lỗi sai khi kết hợp tính từ lặp lại và các hậu tố “着”, “过”, “了”, ba là lỗi sai sau khi tính từ đã được lặp lại, không thể trực tiếp dùng “不”, “没” để phủ định, bốn là lỗi sai sử dụng hình thức lặp lại trong câu so sánh và năm là lỗi sai thiếu trợ từ “的”. Nguyên nhân chính của những sai sót này là do ảnh hưởng của tiếng mẹ đẻ, ảnh hưởng của tài liệu giảng dạy và ảnh hưởng của phương pháp giảng dạy.

Authors: De la Rosa Reyes María de los Angeles
Published: November 2024

La necesidad de articular teoría y práctica, particularmente en procesos de formación profesional, no es nueva. Sin embargo, en los últimos tiempos esta exigencia se ha intensificado dadas las condiciones actuales del nuevo orden mundial, en el cual aún tenemos viejas necesidades no resueltas, pero contamos también con infinidad de demandas en contextos inéditos. Características de estas condiciones en el campo de la educación superior y el desarrollo profesional son la colaboración interinstitucional, el intercambio de conocimientos y la movilidad profesional, las cuales requieren que el profesional se forme y aprenda a trabajar a partir de enfoques desde la complejidad y la interdisciplina, así como el desarrollo de habilidades y conocimientos de los profesionistas para poder participar en novedosos campos de acción donde se ponga en juego la colaboración multiprofesional. Esta ponencia presenta la propuesta de formación de la licenciatura en Pedagogía de la Facultad de Estudios Profesionales Acatlán (FES Acatlán) de la UNAM, que incluye el trabajo en proyectos situados para llevar a cabo prácticas educativas auténticas. Analiza las implicaciones en la formación del estudiantado, en el trabajo del equipo docente, para la comunidad beneficiaria de las prácticas, así como para la universidad.

El presente trabajo muestra la experiencia de una docente en formación, durante una jornada de práctica profesional con un grupo de 5° de educación primaria rural, en la que se hace especial énfasis en el diseño, aplicación y evaluación de una planeación didáctica con un contenido de proporcionalidad directa, cuya elaboración, abordaje y análisis se sustentan en la Teoría de Situaciones Didácticas (TSD) de Guy Brousseau, la enseñanza de la proporcionalidad en educación básica de Block, la planeación didáctica de Monroy Farias y los documentos rectores de SEP; planes y programas de estudio. El objetivo principal del estudio, es transformar la manera de enseñar matemáticas a través de una intervención que responda a las necesidades formativas manifestadas por alumnos y que promueva su razonamiento al resolver problemas de este corte. Bajo una metodología de investigación- acción y desde un enfoque sociocrítico como fundamento teórico-metodológico, se establecen puntos de partida a través de la realización de un diagnóstico inicial, que permitió diseñar una planeación por TSD, aplicarla durante el periodo de práctica en sus seis etapas: preparación del medio, consigna, variable didáctica, fase de acción, fase de validación e institucionalización, así como analizarla y valorar su nivel de alcance en los procesos de aprendizaje de los educandos, así como en la práctica profesional.
Hasil Legal Due Diligence dan Legal Opini Sebagai Penentu Harga Akuisisi Bank Perekonomian Rakyat (BPR)
Authors: Iman Aini Nurul , Alvisalia Yelma Nomida
Published: November 2024

Dalam dunia hukum kita mengenal istilah Legal Due Diligence (LDD) dan Legal Opini. Pemeriksaan atas kepatuhan hukum atas auditee (pihak yang di audit) pada proses akuisisi sangatlah penting karena Pihak yang mengakuisisi nantinya akan akan berdampak atas resiko jika auditee tidak mematuhi hukum, pajak, keuangan, dsb. Karena seringkali company profile, dokumen-dokumen penawaran kepada investor yang nantinya akan mengakuisisi tidak sesuai dengan data asli di lapangan. Terutama pada Bank BPR dalam peraturan Peraturan Otoritas Jasa Keuangan Republik Indonesia Nomor 7 Tahun 2024 mengenai Bank Perekonomian Rakyat dan Bank Perekonomian Rakyat Syariah menetapkan ketentuan tentang proses pengambilalihan, yang umumnya dikenal sebagai akuisisi. Maka temuan-temuan dalam LDD maupun Legal Opini terkadang mempengaruhi bagaimana kesepakatan harga akuisisi BPR dapat diambil alih oleh Pemegang Saham Pengendali (PSP) yang baru. LDD dan Legal opini inilah yang perlu menyebutkan bagaimana risiko hukum, bagaimana memastikan bahwa BPR mematuhi semua peraturan yang berlaku, termasuk persyaratan modal dan tata kelola, menilai kesehatan keuangan bank, termasuk aset, kewajiban, dan likuiditas, dan bagaimana struktur kepemilikan dan pengendalian sesuai dengan regulasi yang ditetapkan.

Authors: Faradila Firda , Kholim Nur
Published: November 2024

Perkembangan korporasi di Indonesia yang pesat, baik dalam jumlah maupun sektor usaha, membawa dampak positif dan negatif. Di satu sisi, korporasi berperan penting dalam perekonomian, namun di sisi lain sering kali terlibat dalam berbagai tindak pidana, terutama terkait pencemaran lingkungan hidup. Kasus-kasus pencemaran lingkungan yang dilakukan oleh korporasi telah menimbulkan kerugian besar bagi masyarakat dan lingkungan. Namun, penerapan sanksi pidana terhadap korporasi sering kali tidak memberikan efek jera yang cukup. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana penerapan sanksi pidana tambahan terhadap korporasi dalam praktik penegakan hukum di Indonesia dan untuk memahami dampak dari penerapan sanksi pidana tambahan terhadap korporasi dalam Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP) yang baru. Dalam KUHP baru, korporasi diakui sebagai subjek hukum pidana, dan sanksi pidana tambahan menjadi bagian penting untuk memberikan efek jera dan mendorong kepatuhan terhadap peraturan perundang-undangan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif analisis dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif. Data yang dikumpulkan terdiri dari bahan hukum primer, sekunder, dan tersier yang dianalisis secara kualitatif. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa penerapan sanksi pidana tambahan terhadap korporasi masih menghadapi berbagai tantangan, terutama dalam hal penegakan yang konsisten dan efektif. Namun, dengan adanya KUHP baru, diharapkan penegakan hukum terhadap korporasi dapat lebih ditingkatkan dan memberikan perlindungan yang lebih baik terhadap lingkungan hidup dan masyarakat.
