Authors: Martínez Estupiñan PhD ,MD Lázaro Martín , Martínez Aparicio MD. Lázaro , Martínez Aparicio MD. Leonardo , Bretón Espinosa Luis Crescencio
Published: September 2022

Cleidocranial dysostosis is a rare skeletal dysplasia that affects bones, especially the clavicles and the maxillofacial area due to the mutation of the CBFA1/ RUNX2 gene located in the 6p21 site, where genetic information that is responsible of bones and teeth formation may be found; this condition is also related to other mutations in other genes. A clinical, radiographic study is carried out to describe the behavior of cleidocranial dysostosis in a family taking also into account the pedigree of the affected family, four cases of a rare genetic syndromeis described where there is deformity with absence of clavicles and brachycephaly in 100 % of the patients. A lack of both clavicles and brachycephaly were the most common radiographic abnormalities found in four members of a family with a heritage pattern of adominant autonomic scale.

Published: September 2022

Background:  Vector-borne diseases pose a devastating obstacle to human health and overall economic development. It is responsible for 17% of all infectious diseases and more than 700000 deaths annually. Among vector borne diseases Dengue fever is the most rapidly spreading with an incidence, increased 30 fold in the past 50 years.  Awareness regarding dengue and its control measures through health education is one of an important component of integrated vector management. It can bring down larval indices and thereby reduce the mosquito density, and bring down the morbidity and mortality caused by mosquito borne diseases. Hence an intervention study was undertaken to study the impact of health education on larval indices and fever cases in a rural field practice area of Thrissur district Kerala. 

Methodology: A quasi randomized control study was conducted from, January2019- March 2020 in ward 13 of Thrikkur Panchayath, Thrissur district. Total 960 households were surveyed for indoor and outdoor water holding containers and inspected for the presence of mosquito larvae. The larval indices like House Index (HI), Container Index (CI) and Breteau Index(BI) were calculated as per the procedure of WHO. The total number of fever cases were collected from these households by an interview schedule.  Adult mosquitoes were also collected from the premises. Health education and demonstration classes on potential breeding sites of Aedes mosquito and methods of eliminating at household and community level were undertaken. Post intervention larval survey was also done.  

Results: Baseline larval indices showed that all the indices i.e HI : 13.09%, CI: 5.38% and BI: 15.4%  were high in the month of June and another peak of larval indices were seen in the month of November 2019 (HI:10%, CI : 7.3%, and BI :10%) Total number of self-reported fever cases were also high during the month of June (208) and July(195).  The post intervention larval indices showed a considerable reduction in Breteau index from 10% to 7.5% in the month of November 2019 and in the month of February before intervention the BI  was 10%  and after intervention in Feb 2020 BI came to 2.5% . 

Conclusion: There was a significant reduction in larval indices after an educational intervention.

Published: September 2022

Human T-cell leukaemia virus-1(HTLV-1) is a kind of retrovirus which after entering in the human body reversely transcribed into several proviruses integrating the host genome develops a lethal blood cancer known as adult T-cell leukaemia (ATL). HTLV-1 also develops some other life threatening diseases like HTLV-1 associated myelopathy or tropical spastic myelopathy (HAM/TSP) in human. The present paper is an attempt to discuss discovery, epidemiology, diagnosis and transmission of the virus with their diseases and cancer causing abilities in the light of recent researches done so far in the field of microbial origin of cancer.

Pyeloureteral duplication is a duplication of the excretory system of a renal unit. Renal duplication is a congenital anomaly, estimated in the general population at 1/125. Familial forms have been described and estimated at 1 in 8 in the siblings. Upper urinary tract malformations are not uncommon in adults and can lead to destruction of the renal parenchyma if diagnosis and management are delayed. Recurrent back pain is the most common symptom. It may also be due to infectious complications of the upper pyelo in stasis or due to ectopy. Urinary lithiasis is found in 26% of cases according to some series. Endoscopic incision in the context of ureteral duplicity, completed by ureteroscopy with drainage of the Upper excretory tract, may be the treatment of choice in adults. Simple, minimally invasive and with low morbidity, it allows an efficient drainage.

Background. The purpose of this study was to study the needs of patients with schizophrenia who are in a psychiatric hospital for a long time, while suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and depression. It is known that depressive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia are associated with severe morbidity and mortality. As you know, schizophrenia is characterized by a chronic, incessant, severe course of the disease.

Method. The Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) and DSM-5 were applied to 100 male and 100 female patients with paranoid schizophrenia who were found to have depression of varying severity. All patients were examined in the Republican Psychiatric Hospital No. 1 of the Ministry of Health of Azerbaijan, which is designed for 2000 beds Depending on the mental state of the patients; permission for the examination was obtained from the majority of patients or their guardians.

 Results. For the first time, the study found that men with paranoid schizophrenia who were in a psychiatric hospital for a long time, both in frequency and severity, were found to have depression of varying degrees. Men are twice as likely to be diagnosed with depression as women. This data obtained by us contradicts the occurrence of depression in the general population, where depression is usually twice as high in women. The data obtained were summed up both in terms of the severity of the clinical severity of depression DSM-5   and on the CDSS scale.

Conclusion. The results of this study suggest that men with paranoid schizophrenia who are long-term in a psychiatric hospital often suffer from depression than women. It is currently very difficult to fully explain this phenomenon. However, given that the husband in society occupies a dominant role as the head of the family, his long stay in a psychiatric hospital is one of the causes of depression. Thus, men with paranoid schizophrenia who are in a psychiatric hospital for a long time need more differentiated psychiatric help, especially in relation to affective disorders of the depressive type. This issue needs further study.

Published: September 2022

Background: Diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis (DPVNS) of the knee is a difficult tumor to eradicate, the gold standard treatment has traditionally been surgical excision with total synovectomy of the affected joint, either with an open or arthroscopic approach. In this study, we are focusing on arthroscopic surgical synovectomy.

Objectives: Aimed to study the outcome of arthroscopic synovectomy for diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis of the knee in Haj Alsafi Teaching Hospital.

Methodology: Observational retrospective hospital-based study, performed in the Orthopedic Department, 12 patients (8 males and 4 females) with the diffuse form of PVNS of the knee were enrolled in the study after qualification. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and post-surgical histo-pathological examination. All patients underwent complete synovectomy through standard anterior, medial and lateral, then medial, lateral suprapatellar and posteromedial portals. Each patient was evaluated before and after treatment and followed up for a minimum of 18 months (range: 18 – 54 months) using the Lysholm score and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score.

Results: The average age group of patients was (9–63years) with male predominance (66.7 %). Left knee more frequently affected(58.3%). None of the study participants had previous surgical history 100%. Both Lysholm and IKDC scores were significantly improved in all study participants. Regarding paired sample statistics, the mean for the score preoperatively and postoperatively was improved from 54.9 to77.9.Recurrence reported in one participant (8.3%). There was a statistical association between pre and post-operative LYSHOLM and IKDC scores and recurrence, hence p-value =0.000.

Conclusion: Arthroscopic synovectomy is an appropriate treatment for knee DPVNS with agood clinical and functional outcome and with a low recurrence rate.

COVID-19 is the extreme smash of the present-day century that emaciated fitness, financial system, and ordinary life. This research assessed the condition and relation of tests, infections, recoveries, and deaths of SARS-CoV-2 from July to December 2021. The research plan was carried out from July 1 to December 31, 2021 (N=184 days) to state the position of Bangladesh towards widespread COVID-19. The total number of COVID-19 tests, infections, recoveries, and deaths from July to December 2021 was 4850322, 672707, 732460, and 13577, respectively. The maximum COVID-19 tests were performed at 55284.00 while the lowest was 11486.00 from July to December 2021. The maximum COVID-19 infestations were performed at 16230.00 while the lowest was 122.00 from July to December 2021. The maximum COVID-19 recovered was 16627.00 while the lowest was 122.00 from July to December 2021. The maximum COVID-19 death was 264.00 while the lowest was 0 from July to December 2021. In the 0.01 level of the two-tailed Spearman, the relationship was positive to moderate to strong, and the total number was n=184. The mean Spearman correlation for tests was 0.823 (range 0.861to 0.758), for infested was 0.91 (range 0.948 to 0.861), for recovered was 0.90 (range 0.948 to 0.822), for death was 0.87 (range 0.929 to 0.785). This research additionally showed a moderate to the strong relationship between tests, infections, recoveries, and deaths of SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 has spread out unexpectedly to 64 districts in Bangladesh. The persevering with the occurrence of COVID-19 infections has emphasized the significance of the short and accurate and advanced 118 laboratory diagnoses to restriction it unfolds.

The Effect of Foreign Exchange Rate on the Market Operations of Bottling Companies a Case Study of Sierra Leone Bottling Company Limited
Authors: Bakar Kamara Alhaji
Published: September 2022

This study focused on investigating the effects of foreign exchange rates on the market operations of bottling companies in Sierra Leone, using the Sierra Leone Bottling Company (SLBC) as the case study. The problem was found around bottling companies not maintaining the regular market operations and performance due to the drawbacks they face in foreign exchange risks. This effect often rests on the staff working for bottling companies like Sierra Leone Bottling Companies (SLBC) situated in Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone. Therefore, the research included a sample of 100 staff of SLBC as respondents to the study. Qualitative or descriptive analysis was employed, and the operational results of the exchange rate was targeted to test the outcomes of a consistent exchange rate ratio in promoting the profits of the Company. The problem revolves around bottling companies not being able to maintain the expected pro due to the drawbacks they face in the foreign exchange rate. SLBC staff should ensure that raw materials are properly managed and accounted for to avoid stock of materials to ensure total production for customers' satisfaction. Government should play an active role to see that the exchange rate is brought to its most favourable rate to ensure a normal/favourable market operating environment for firms.

Published: September 2022

This study on Evaluation of Discharged Untreated Wastewater from Pulping and Bleaching operations in a Bamboo Based tissue Paper Making Plant in Nigeria was conducted mainly to evaluate the pollutant loads present in wastewater produced during the Pulping and Bleaching operations of the tissue paper making progression. The wastewater samples were obtained and examined to find out the pollutants they contain by checking the availability of some physicochemical parameters using standard methods by American Public Health Association (APHA). The analyzed parameters obtained for the pulping and bleaching processes respectively are pH (7.42 and 4.49),  EC (316µS/cm and 47µS/cm), TDS (158mg/l and 24mg/l), Turbidity (19.3NTU and 28.7NTU), Temperature (28.47°C and 28.48°C), DO (3.66mg/l and 1.93mg/l), BOD5 (74.02mg/l and 62.00mg/l), COD (140.30mg/l and 120.40mg/l), TOC (10.3% and 7.1%), THB (1.60x103cfu/ml and 7.40x104cfu/ml), THF (0cfu/ml and 2.30x103cfu/ml) and heavy metals like Hg (<0.001mg/l and <0.001mg/l), Pb (0.281mg/l and 0.273mg/l), Ni (0.115mg/l and 0.117mg/l), Co (0.193mg/l and 0.208mg/l)  and As (<0.001mg/l and <0.001mg/l). These results were also compared amid the permissible regulatory standards set by the FMEnv and NESREA. From the comparative analysis, the bleaching wastewater sample was more polluted than that from pulping. EC, TDS, BOD5, COD, TOC and Pb were higher in the pulping wastewater sample which could be attributed to the organic nature of the starting material; bamboo and residues of the pulping agents; caustic soda and ammonia while Acidity, Turbidity, Temperature, DO, Ni, Co, THB and TF were higher in the bleaching wastewater sample and could be caused by the bleaching agents and the availability of microorganisms. The result showed that some parameters except BOD5, turbidity, COD, DO and pH from pulping fell within regulatory limit. This could be linked to the virgin fibre from bamboo applied which contains less pollutant compared to other industries using waste papers from different sources.

Effects of cognitive & metacognitive strategy for developing reading comprehension capacity
Authors: Abbasi Peyman
Published: September 2022

Reading comprehension ability is potency of students to comprehend meaning of written texts, text details and main ideas. Furthermore, ability of reading comprehension activated learners to communicate with writers. To understand main ideas of written texts, help learners to be aware and to get particular messages from texts. Cognitive and metacognitive knowledges help readers to analyze, to summarize, to judge, and to distinguish main idea of reading texts and also more details about writer viewpoints to predicate and decision making to monitor text contents too. Monolingual students are those groups which must be aware about impacts of metacognitive strategy upon reading development and comprehension through to prepare and emanate bio feedbacks with teachers. Hence, monolingual groups have to be taught more than bilingual ones due to their low – proficiency levels and also their weak knowledge capacities about reading development strategies. Indeed, today understanding the effective strategies which help to learn language skills for all of scholars in TESOL domains is very significant, so every teacher that is aware about efficacy of those psychological strategies like cognitive and metacognitive or both; he or she is able to teach language skills particularly reading comprehension very conveniently and more productive language learning results. Without understanding reading strategy text comprehension to learn language skills is impossible.

Social media is a catch-all term for various internet applications that allow users to create content and interact with each other. There are good and bad effects of social media on students, one of the good and bad is the factors or websites. One of its websites is the easy access or easy way to disseminate or share information. News that everyone is interested in knowing, such as class subsidies, news about the government or articles. On the other hand, young people become more open-minded to fellowship or friendship. Sometimes even if they don't know each other personally, they are added as friends or added to people who can see the content of their profile. That’s why sometimes young people often get bogged down in posts they don’t like, and this often leads to rocky outbursts of violent and unwelcome words. Sometimes young people today become too judgmental, perhaps because of what they see on social networking sites, freedom of expression even when we are hurting.

Published: September 2022

The research focuses on some relevant aspects of training at higher schools for building digital competences which facilitate the effective application of modern digital tools for solving planned tasks and achieving objectives. The emphasis falls on the necessary competences for working with integrated resource planning systems (ERP). Special attention is paid to the acquisition and development of the so-called Business Intelligence (BI) competences at higher schools.
At the beginning of the research, we have synthesized the necessary activities for quality training as the final objective is that the learners acquire a totality of knowledge, skills and experience for working and managing some heterogeneous in their nature processes, as well as some means and technologies required for the transformation of data into managerial information, whereas the data itself – into managerial decisions and action plans. The next stage consists of differentiation among the various types of skills – business skills, analytic skills and IT skills, as well as the specific aspects of their acquisition and development through the training at higher schools. The conclusion makes an assessment of the trends, respectively, the topics of training on specific tools for the solution of managerial tasks and the successful realization of strategic aims. We take into account the training in performing business analyses through dashboards and the work with key productivity indicators (KPI).
Parallel to this, we have researched the degree of coverage of this matter in existing curricula and courses at higher schools in Central and Eastern Europe using the method of random sampling without replacement.
The logic of carrying out the research corresponds to the principle that the training shall comply with the needs and requirements of the practice. The basis for determining the research sample is based on the subject matter of the research. We have encompassed enterprises of the private sector in countries from Central and Eastern Europe. The sample is limited to small, medium and large enterprises which actively use digital tools in making managerial decisions (respectively 16% / 65% / 19%) from the Czech Republic, Romania, Greece and Bulgaria using the method of random sampling without replacement. The methodology of the research secures its reliability by addressing the survey to a specific category of individuals, including the opinions of managers and employees on the digital competences of future specialists with a degree in Economics.
The results are used to make a narrow selection of those areas in the content of specific courses which shall be updated and to point out those curricula which shall be updated in the medium term.

Published: September 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed unprecedented changes and challenges to the ways of learning, teaching, and communicating within educational institutions. Prophylactic isolation measures, adopted globally, have discontinued face-to-face teaching and precipitated distance learning. This reality highlighted the importance of online courses as creative initiatives to overcome space and time constraints in a limited pedagogical context.
It was in this scope that the Project "Exploration of online methodologies in the development of competencies in the audiovisual area" emerged, proposing the creation of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) in the audiovisual area (from the idea to the final product) and the development of the online platform LOOP for the implementation and availability of this and other courses held afterward.
The project involves three Portuguese higher education institutions and one Spanish one, motivated to develop innovative proposals, both in research and education. Moreover, this network presents a diversity of training in degree courses, master's, and technological specialization programs, which allows us privileged contact with the students and helps us establish priorities and needs.
This paper focuses on the survey and analysis, at the national and international level, of MOOCs dedicated to the themes of audiovisual production to expose parameters of both organizational and content scope. The methodological approach will be divided into two phases: a) identification of the criteria for analyzing courses through the literature review; b) and selection of the courses to be analyzed. This selection will be conducted through a database search, identifying the keywords in Portuguese, English, and Spanish: audiovisual online course; audiovisual free course; filmmaking course; scriptwriting course; video editing course; and other derivations. It is hoped to present a set of guidelines for developing the course related to the organization and the content.
SHELTERED OR SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT OPTIONS FOR SECONDARY EDUCATION STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES?
Authors: VARKAS Mıchalıs
Published: September 2022

The transformations in production and labour market of the last decades and the stormy global economic crisis have diversified and made particularly difficult the conditions for the inclusion of people with disabilities into the labour market and the society in general. Students with disabilities are at high risk of unemployment and a high percentage of those who work are employed in low-paid jobs. Employment is vital for them not only for a dignified life, but also for active participation in the community. In general, they face several limitations when trying to find or maintain a job they already have. It is a common belief that people with disabilities are not able to work, except perhaps in separate and Sheltered work environments (sheltered employment) where they will be safe enough. Such negative attitudes affect decisively their success or failure to secure a job or maintain an existing one. Sheltered employment has been at the core of the vocational training and employment system for young people with significant intellectual disabilities throughout the twentieth century, and most of them continue to work within isolated and Sheltered areas. According to our literature review the emergence of supported forms of employment has brought forward a real alternative, especially for students with intellectual disabilities. Unlike the sheltered and segregated forms of employment, supported employment enables paid employment, within the community, under conditions of continuous support, and has proven to be more effective over time. Based on the concept of self-determination it emphasizes personal strengths, goals and choices and the important role of the community for the improvement and development of the disabled individual.
THEORETICAL AND CONCEPTUAL ISSUES OF THE DECENTRALIZATION OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT POLICY
Authors: PARASHKEVOVA Evelina , БОРИСОВ борислав , GOSPODİNOV Yuliyan , STOYANOVA Mariela
Published: September 2022

Integrated territorial investments are a fundamentally new approach to the implementation of regional policy. The approach requires decentralization of the decision-making process and active participation of citizens in this process. The bottom-up approach involves identifying the needs of the community and looking for alternatives to meet those needs. The choice of the best alternative, ie. the choice of a specific measure or project implies the application of adequate working mechanisms to ensure the involvement of the general public. There are various theories about how to encourage and motivate citizens to participate in public decisions that have a direct impact on them and their way of life. Different strategies and approaches are applied, their effectiveness is different, and it is difficult to find a universal solution.
The aim of this article is to bring out the main theoretical and conceptual issues related to the role, importance, tools for civic participation in public policy-making processes in general and in relation to regional policy in particular. On this basis, an iterative model for applying the bottom-up approach to inclusion in integrated planning will be proposed.
Content analysis of documents and empirical research will outline the main steps that would be useful in the process of decentralization and promoting participation. Based on the deduction and induction, the main barriers and limiting factors will be identified, which so far hinder the more active participation of civil society, business and other organizations in the process of making decisions for regional development. The aim is to outline the main groups of constraints and to suggest possible reactions to them. The framework for decentralization of the process of regional development and stakeholder involvement will be outlined, as well as good practices, existing hypotheses about the commitment of public institutions to ensure inclusion, opportunities to build an environment that ensures a high degree of integration of public policies.

Authors: Ortiz Huerta Laura Gabriela , Mendoza Garcilazo Luis Humberto
Published: September 2022

En este trabajo se analizan registros de vibración ambiental y de vibración forzada para determinar las propiedades dinámicas (formas modales y frecuencias características) de un edificio experimental de cinco pisos que fue construido a escala real dentro del laboratorio Charles Lee Powell de la Universidad de California en San Diego (UCSD). Este fue el primer edificio a escala real, construido en el año 1992, para realizar pruebas de resistencia sísmica en los Estados Unidos de América. Los registros de vibración se obtuvieron durante las tres etapas de las condiciones físicas del edificio: edificio recién construido, edificio dañado con carga sísmica simulada y edificio reparado. En los resultados del análisis, tanto de vibración ambiental como forzada, se observan cambios en sus propiedades dinámicas debido a la degradación de la rigidez en el edificio con daño y a la recuperación de la rigidez en el edificio reparado.

El reglamento de construcciones del municipio de Veracruz indica que para realizar el diseño por sismo de estructuras se emplee el CDS-MDOC-2015, el cual especifica usar Espectros Transparentes Regionales (ETRs) para el diseño de Estructuras Convencionales (ECs). Para construir los ETRs, el CDS-MDOC-2015 indica realizar una exploración básica del subsuelo cumpliendo con un conjunto de requisitos que hacen que no sea económicamente factible de realizar para ECs. Por lo anterior, en el presente estudio se propone un procedimiento que resulta de modificar la forma en la que se caracterizan los efectos de sitio en el procedimiento recomendado en el CDS-MDOC-2015 para la construcción de Espectro Específicos de Sitio (EESs). En el procedimiento normativo los efectos de sitio se caracterizan mediante una función de transferencia teórica (FTT), mientras que en el propuesto se caracterizan mediante cocientes espectrales H/V obtenidos de registros de vibración ambiental, cuyo costo es menor que el de una FTT y que la realización de una exploración básica del subsuelo. Por lo anterior, el procedimiento propuesto es factible de aplicar, con ciertas limitaciones, para construir tanto EESs como ETRs para el diseño de ECs. Dicho procedimiento se aplica para construir un ETR en la conurbación Veracruz-Boca del Río, y de su comparación con los ETRs normativos se observó que éstos subestiman las demandas en casi todo el intervalo de periodos.
EFECTO DEL COMPONENTE SÍSMICO VERTICAL EN PUENTES
Authors: Jara Díaz Manuel , Hernández Barrios Hugo , Álvarez Mosqueda Otilio
Published: September 2022

Tradicionalmente, el análisis y diseño sísmico de las estructuras se realiza bajo la acción de los componentes horizontales del sismo, y únicamente en aquellos casos en los que se estima que la aceleración vertical puede tener un efecto importante en la respuesta de la estructura, se incluye en la demanda sísmica el espectro de diseño del componente horizontal. Generalmente, el efecto del movimiento vertical se define multiplicando el espectro de diseño horizontal, por un factor menor a la unidad. Sin embargo, la observación de los registros medidos en campo cercano, muestran que no es extraño que las aceleraciones verticales sobrepasen claramente la máxima aceleración horizontal, y que el contenido de frecuencias es normalmente mayor en los acelerogramas verticales, de manera que no es adecuado, para tener en cuenta el movimiento vertical, el procedimiento de reducir el espectro horizontal, simplemente mediante la aplicación de un factor menor a la unidad igual para todo el espectro de frecuencias. En la primera parte del trabajo se describen las características de un total de cien registros sísmicos obtenidos de la Base Mexicana de Sismos Fuertes para temblores asociados al proceso de subducción, que se midieron en estaciones ubicadas a una distancia epicentral menor de 60 km y magnitud mayor de 5.0, con la finalidad de estudiar la influencia de los parámetros que tienen mayor efecto en el componente vertical. En la segunda parte se estudia un conjunto de estructuras tipo puente para evaluar el efecto que tiene el componente vertical en su respuesta, tanto en las etapas constructivas, como en las estructuras terminadas. Se incluye una evaluación de los periodos de las principales formas de vibrar de algunos tipos de puentes para estimar el impacto potencial que puede esperarse en las estructuras construidas cerca de zonas epicentrales.
Induced subgraphs and tree decompositions III. Three-path-configurations and logarithmic treewidth
Authors: Chudnovsky Maria , Abrishami Tara , Hajebi Sepehr , Spirkl Sophie

A _theta_ is a graph consisting of two non-adjacent vertices and three internally disjoint paths between them, each of length at least two. For a family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs, we say a graph $G$ is $\mathcal{H}$-_free_ if no induced subgraph of $G$ is isomorphic to a member of $\mathcal{H}$. We prove a conjecture of Sintiari and Trotignon, that there exists an absolute constant $c$ for which every (theta, triangle)-free graph $G$ has treewidth at most $c\log (|V(G)|)$. A construction by Sintiari and Trotignon shows that this bound is asymptotically best possible, and (theta, triangle)-free graphs comprise the first known hereditary class of graphs with arbitrarily large yet logarithmic treewidth.

Our main result is in fact a generalization of the above conjecture, that treewidth is at most logarithmic in $|V(G)|$ for every graph $G$ excluding the so-called _three-path-configurations_ as well as a fixed complete graph. It follows that several NP-hard problems such as Stable Set, Vertex Cover, Dominating Set and $k$-Coloring (for fixed $k$) admit polynomial time algorithms in graphs excluding the three-path-configurations and a fixed complete graph.

Published: September 2022

To understand the concept of dignity in care and use it in practice, nurses need a clear understanding of the dignity of patients, which can help them improve quality of care and provide services of a higher standard. This study aims to clarify the concept of human dignity of patients in nursing. Walker and Avant’s method (2011) was used for this concept analysis. Published literature from 2010 to 2020 was identified using national and international databases. The full text of the included articles was reviewed. The main dimensions and attributes include valuing the patient, respecting patients’ privacy, autonomy, and confidentiality, having a positive mental image, having a sense of altruism, respecting human equality, observing patients’ beliefs and rights, adequately educating patients, and paying attention to secondary caregivers. Nurses should consider the subjective and objective aspects of dignity in their daily care activities by cultivating a deeper understanding of the concept of dignity and its attributes. In this regard, nursing tutors, managers, and policymakers in healthcare should emphasise human dignity in nursing.
