Published: December 2019

The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of liquidity management in the profitability of commercial banks listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange during the period 2006-2016. Data were collected from the annual financial statements of the banks. In order to analyze data, the current ratio (CR) was used as a proxy for liquidity as an independent variable while the return on assets (ROA) and the return on equity (ROE) were used as proxies for banks' profitability as dependent variables. The results of the study indicate that all of the variables under study are stationary at first differenced by utilizing Panel Unit Root Tests (Levin-Lin Chu and Hadri LM Methods). The outcomes of panel cointegration test showed that there is no long-term relationship among variables. In addition, the paper revealed that, in short term, the liquidity of banks plays an insignificant negative role in banks’ profitability for both ROA and ROE by employing pooled regression model, Fixed Effect and Random Effect models. Therefore, this study recommended that banks' managers should take the advantage of investing their liquidity in various projects to obtain more profitability and then help governments to decrease their unemployment and recession in economy.
Repercusiones cognitivas del consumo de alcohol en universitarios: un estudio preliminar
Authors: Bernabéu Brotóns Elena , De la Peña Álvarez Cristina
Published: December 2019

Introducción.  El consumo elevado de alcohol constituye el hábito tóxico más extendido en el mundo, y es un problema especialmente entre los jóvenes, ya que forma parte de su cultura de ocio. El inicio de la etapa universitaria coincide con la mayoría de edad, que da acceso libre a esta sustancia, utilizada además como herramienta para hacer frente a los nuevos estresores. Se ha comprobado que la ingesta de alcohol puede alterar la estructura y fisiología neuronal, afectando entre otras regiones a la corteza prefrontal, con el consiguiente deterioro cognitivo, concretamente de las funciones ejecutivas. Este estudio tiene como objetivo estudiar la prevalencia del consumo de alcohol en una muestra de 100 estudiantes universitarios, y comprobar la existencia de diferencias en su rendimiento académico y funciones ejecutivas en relación con el perfil de consumo (“sin riesgo”, “de riesgo”, “probable síndrome de dependencia alcohólica o SDA”). Método.  La muestra estuvo conformada por 100 estudiantes universitarios del Grado en Psicología de la Universidad Francisco de Vitoria (UFV) (24% chicos y 76% chicas) con edades comprendidas entre 17 y 25 años. A todos los participantes se les administró el test AUDIT para evaluar el consumo de alcohol y cuatro pruebas (Stroop, Cambios, Fluidez verbal y Letras y Números) para valorar funciones ejecutivas, y se registró su nota media del primer cuatrimestre del primer curso del grado de Psicología como medida del rendimiento académico. Se emplearon estadísticos descriptivos y análisis inferencial. Resultados. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian que más de la mitad de los participantes describe un consumo de riesgo o un consumo que indica probable SDA. La prueba de Kruskal Wallis sugiere una relación directa entre el perfil de consumo (“con riesgo”, “sin riesgo” y “probable SDA”, y las calificaciones obtenidas (p=.011), y entre el consumo de alcohol y las funciones ejecutivas, en particular la flexibilidad cognitiva (p=.005), la fluidez verbal fonológica (p=.001), la memoria de trabajo (p=.017) y la velocidad de procesamiento (p=.001). No se encontraron diferencias en el control inhibitorio relación al perfil de consumo. Discusión y conclusiones.  Estos hallazgos confirman las repercusiones a nivel cognitivo asociadas al consumo de alcohol en esta etapa y la necesidad de poner en marcha campañas de prevención en el entorno universitario.

Published: December 2019

The present community service activities were held to provide peer counselor training for high school Students in West Jakarta. Results from our survey showed several problems such as high achievement demand from parents, disparity between peer groups, and verbal abuse from parents. Despite these problems, students prefer to share their problems with their peers to consulting their problems with the Guidance and Counseling (GC) teacher, subject teacher, or homeroom teacher. To address this problem, the solution offered was to prepare assistance for GC teachers by giving training to selected students so that they are able to help other students, that is as peer counselors. Students who were trained must pass a selection process to meet standard qualifications as peer counselors. The peer counselor training aimed to provide competency-based knowledge and skills as a counselor. The task of these peer counselors was to act as peer assistants who can accommodate stories and complaints from peers based on basic counselling skills. Peer counselors are expected to help reduce psychological tension experienced by peers in need. The implementation stages included the following: socializing the program, implementation of training with 14 sessions, practices and supervisions, and evaluation program. Through the training, the students were successfully introduced to simple theories and counseling skills to trainees. After 6 simulated exercises, each participant experienced  better counseling skills. However,  to keep improving their skills, it is necessary that the trainees be given a periodic training and a strong support from the school, especially from GC teachers.

Preseason Clinical Shoulder Test Results and Shoulder Injury Rate in Adolescent Elite Handball Players: A Prospective Study
Authors: Asker Martin , Waldén Markus , Källberg Henrik , Holm Lena W. , Skillgate Eva
Published: November 2019

Objective

To investigate whether adolescent elite female and male handball players with shoulder muscle weakness, deficits in shoulder rotation range of motion (ROM) or in joint position sense (JPS), or scapular dyskinesis in the preseason had a higher rate of new shoulder injuries compared to players without these characteristics.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Methods

We studied 344 uninjured players (452 player-seasons, 50% female). We measured their shoulder strength in isometric external rotation (IER), isometric internal rotation (IIR), isometric abduction, and eccentric external rotation, as well as their shoulder ROM, JPS, and scapular dyskinesis, during the preseason. Players were monitored weekly regarding match and training hours and shoulder injuries during 1 or 2 seasons. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazard models to calculate hazard rate ratios related to the first injury and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results

During 2 seasons, the participants reported 48 new shoulder injuries. In female players, the hazard rate ratio was 2.37 (95% CI: 1.03, 5.44) for IER weakness and 2.44 (95% CI: 1.06, 5.61) for IIR weakness. The hazard rate ratio was 0.85 (95% CI: 0.39, 1.83) for an IER/IIR ratio of less than 0.75 and 1.53 (95% CI: 0.36, 6.52) for scapular dyskinesis. In male players, the hazard rate ratio was 1.02 (95% CI: 0.44, 2.36) for IER weakness, 0.74 (95% CI: 0.31, 1.75) for IIR weakness, 2.0 (95% CI: 0.68, 5.92) for an IER/IIR ratio of less than 0.75, and 3.43 (95% CI: 1.49, 7.92) for scapular dyskinesis. There were no associations between new shoulder injuries and deficits in ROM or JPS.

Conclusion

In adolescent elite handball, male players with preseason scapular dyskinesis and female players with preseason IIR or IER shoulder weakness had an increased shoulder injury rate. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(2):67–74. Epub 27 Nov 2019. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9044

Authors: Smith Angela Hutchinson , Capin Jacob J. , Zarzycki Ryan , Snyder-Mackler Lynn
Published: November 2019

Objective

Graft choices for athletes undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) include bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) and hamstring tendon (HT) autografts and soft tissue allografts. The objective was to assess time to meet clinical milestones by graft type in athletes who completed a return-to-sport (RTS) program after ACLR.

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Methods

Seventy-nine athletes enrolled after ACLR (allograft, n = 18; BPTB, n = 24; HT, n = 37). Time from surgery to meet (1) enrollment criteria (12 or more weeks post surgery, 80% or greater isometric quadriceps strength index, minimal effusion, and full knee range of motion), and (2) RTS criteria (90% or greater quadriceps strength index, hop testing limb symmetry, and patient-reported outcomes) was calculated. Quadriceps strength, hop performance, and patient-reported outcomes were measured before and after training, and at 1 year post surgery. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and 1-way analyses of variance (α = .05) were used to analyze differences among graft types.

Results

On average, the BPTB group (28.5 ± 7.6 weeks) took longer to meet enrollment milestones than the HT (22.5 ± 7.6 weeks, P = .007) and allograft (18.9 ± 5.8 weeks, P<.001) groups. The BPTB group (44.7 ± 15.8 weeks) took longer from surgery to meet RTS criteria than the HT (32.5 ± 9.9 weeks, P = .001) and allograft (29.3 ± 9.0 weeks, P<.001) groups. After training, the quadriceps strength index was lower in the BPTB group (86.1% ± 11.4%) than it was in the HT (96.1% ± 12.9%, P = .004) and allograft (96.9% ± 5.9%, P = .009) groups.

Conclusion

Athletes with a BPTB autograft may take longer than athletes with an HT autograft or a soft tissue allograft to complete postoperative rehabilitation, recover quadriceps strength, and meet RTS criteria. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(5):259–266. Epub 27 Nov 2019. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9111
The Role of Physical Therapists in Fighting the Type 2 Diabetes Epidemic
Authors: Harris-Hayes Marcie , Schootman Mario , Schootman Jeffrey C. , Hastings Mary K.
Published: November 2019

Background

In 2014, the total prevalence of diabetes was estimated to be 422 million people worldwide. Due to the aging population and continued increase in obesity rates, the prevalence is expected to rise to 592 million by 2035. Diabetes can lead to several complications, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy, lower extremity amputation, and musculoskeletal impairments.

Clinical Question

Up to 80% of patients referred for outpatient physical therapy have diabetes or are at risk for diabetes, providing an opportunity for physical therapists to intervene. Therefore, we asked, “What is the role of physical therapists in fighting the diabetes epidemic?”

Key Results

Physical therapists commonly prescribe physical activity for the treatment of diabetes and other chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and osteoarthritis. Physical therapists may also screen for risk factors for diabetes and diabetes-related complications and modify traditional musculoskeletal exercise prescription accordingly. Physical therapists must advocate for regular physical activity as a key component of the treatment of chronic diseases in all patient interactions.

Clinical Application

This commentary (1) describes the diabetes epidemic and the health impact of diabetes and diabetes-related complications, (2) highlights the physical therapist's role as front-line provider, and (3) provides recommendations for physical therapists in screening for diabetes risk factors and diabetes-related complications and considerations for patient management. We focus on type 2 diabetes. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(1):5–16. Epub 28 Nov 2019. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9154

Thirty-two patients were studied. Eighteen patients had diffuse cutaneous SSc while 14 had limited cutaneous SSc. Ten patients had mRSS <14 while 22 had mRSS ≥14 with a mean mRSS of 15.8. Gastrointestinal system was involved in 56.3%, respiratory system in 53.1%, musculoskeletal system in 31.3%, renal in 6.3%, and cardiovascular in 3.1%. Anti-centromere antibodies were positive in six patients and Anti-Scl-70 in 12. In the histopathological analysis of fibrosis, 40.6% of patients had moderate fibrosis while 59.4% had severe fibrosis. While patients with higher mRSS also had a higher grade of fibrosis histologically, the clinicohistological correlation was not found to be statistically significant.

Limitations:

The prognostic significance of mRSS could not be assessed as this was a cross-sectional study.

Conclusion:

The cutaneous and systemic involvement observed in this study was comparable to the findings in other studies. The changes observed in frequency of specific manifestations in different population groups point to the role of genetic and environmental factors in the disease process.

Published: December 2019

Primary cutaneous anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (PC-ALCL) constitutes 9% of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, which usually presents as a solitary ulcerating nodule or indurated plaque but sometimes has varied presentations mimicking eczema to squamous cell carcinoma. In our case, PC-ALCL presented as a noduloulcerative lesion. Since PC-ALCL is rare, there is a high chance to misdiagnose and hence high index of suspicion is necessary.

Published: November 2019

[ID] Ketergantungan manusia terhadap teknologi memasuki Revolusi Industri 4.0 sangat tinggi. Contoh penerapan inovasi di bidang teknologi informasi salah satunya adalah superkomputer dari material superkonduktor. Material superkonduktor identik dengan material non ferromagnetik karena sifatnya diamagnetis sempurna. Namun, sejak ditemukannya material superkonduktor berbasis logam ferromagnetik, penelitian terus dikembangkan, salah satunya material FeSe. Beberapa parameter yang perlu diperhatikan pada pembuatan material FeSe untuk memperoleh sifat superkonduktor terbaiknya diantaranya komposisi stoikiometri, penambahan doping, dan proses pembuatan material FeSe seperti proses pemaduan dan sintering. Dalam penelitian ini, pengaruh variasi doping Mg akan dianalisis terhadap sifat superkonduktor, morfologi, dan fasa yang terbentuk pada material superkonduktor FeSe. Material FeSe dibuat dengan metode reaksi padatan dalam tabung tertutup (Powder in Sealed Tube) secara insitu. Temperatur sintering yang digunakan 845⁰C yang ditahan selama 6 jam, dengan kenaikan temperatur 7⁰C/menit dari temperatur kamar, dan laju pendinginan normalizing. Kandidat material superkonduktor terbaik terdapat pada sampel Mg0.01Fe0.99Se. Didapatkan Temperatur kritis (Tc)onset = 15.42 K dan Tczero = 5.4 K. Morfologi sampel menunjukkan kristalisasi besar. Lalu, persentase fraksi volume fasa superkonduktornya juga merupakan yang terbesar yaitu 81.99%.

[EN] Human dependence on technology into the Industrial Revolution 4.0 is very high. Example, the application of innovations in information technology is supercomputer from superconducting materials. Superconducting materials are identical from non-ferromagnetic materials because tend perfectly diamagnetic. However, since ferromagnetic-metal-based superconducting material discovered, research continues to be developed, like FeSe material. Some parameters that need to be considered in making FeSe material to obtain the best superconductor properties include stoichiometric composition, doping addition, and process of making FeSe materials like synthesis and sintering treatment. In this study, the effect of Mg-doped variations will be analyzed towards properties of superconductors, morphology, and phases formed in FeSe superconducting materials. MgxFe1-xSe made by solid-state reaction method in sealed tube (Powder in Sealed Tube) “insituely”. The sintering temperature used 845⁰C which held for 6 hours, with 7⁰C/minute temperature rise from room-temperature and normalizing cooling rate used. The best candidate superconducting material came from Mg0.01Fe0.99Se, obtained critical temperature (Tc)onset = 15.42 K, and Tczero = 5.4 K. Sample morphology shows a large crystallization. Then, the percentage fraction of the superconducting phase was also the largest, which is 81.99%.

Published: December 2019

Gas alam merupakan campuran hidrokarbon kompleks yang karakteristik utama kualitasnya sering dinyatakan dalam bentuk nilai kalor, yaitu energi yang dilepaskan tiap satuan massa atau satuan volume bahan bakar ketika habis dibakar. Pengukuran energi gas alam saat ini umumnya dilakukan secara tidak langsung dengan mengkombinasikan flow meter dan kromatografi gas atau gas analizer. Metode tidak langsung memiliki beberapa keterbatasan sehingga mendorong para peneliti mengembangkan metode alternatif menghitung energi gas alam. Pada penelitian ini, dikembangkan metode korelasi yang berbasis pada bulk modulus campuran gas alam, kecepatan suara, dan komposisi gas diluent sebagai alternatif metode perhitungan energi campuran gas alam. Pengembangan model dilakukan menggunakan 95 data komposisi gas alam yang dilaporkan oleh Morrow, et al. [11]. Data komposisi tersebut digunakan untuk  menghitung kecepatan suara (vs), massa jenis (ρ), dan rasio kapasitas panas (γ) campuran gas alam pada keadaan standar (150C, 0,325 kPa). Kemudian nilai vs, ρ, γ dan komposisi gas diluent (CO2 dan N2) dipakai untuk menghitung bulk modulus campuran gas alam dan bulk modulus hidrokarbon. Sementara itu, nilai kalor campuran gas alam pada keadaan standar dihitung dalam basis massa menggunakan data nilai kalor tiap-tiap komponen campuran gas alam yang terdapat dalam Standar GPA 2145. Setelah semua data fisis diperoleh, dilakukan pencocokan kurva untuk memperoleh model menghitung energi campuran gas alam. Hasil pengujian kinerja model menunjukkan bahwa persentase kesalahan adalah sebesar 0,0697% dengan rentang dari 0  sampai 0,119%, RMSE sebesar 0,0833, dan R sebesar satu. Hasil tersebut mengindikasikan bahwa model yang dikembangkan memiliki akurasi tinggi sehingga dapat direkomendasikan sebagai metode alternatif untuk menghitung energi gas alam.

Мета. Оцінити ефективність удосконаленої системи хірургічного лікування постраждалих з пошкодженнями таза та тазових органів при політравмі. Матеріали і методи. В основу дослідження покладено клінічні спостереження 406 постраждалих з нестабільними пошкодженнями таза (НПТ) при політравмі (оцінка тяжкості за шкалою ISS 17 балів і вище).  НПТ у 98 (24,1%) постраждалих з політравмою були поєднані з пошкодженнями тазових органів. Сформовано дві клінічні групи: основну – 137 (33,7%) постраждалих, із них у 37 (27,0%) НПТ були поєднані з пошкодженнями тазових органів, і контрольну – 269 (66,3%) постраждалих, із них у 61 (22,7%) постраждалого НПТ були поєднані з пошкодженнями тазових органів. У постраждалих основної групи застосована диференційована хірургічна тактика лікування, яка базувалась на оцінці тяжкості травми, прогнозі перебігу травматичної хвороби (ТХ) у залежності від її періодів, а також запропонованих сучасних методах діагностики і лікування пошкоджень таза й інших анатомічних ділянок (АД). Для лікування пацієнтів контрольної групи застосовували хірургічну тактику згідно з тимчасовими галузевими уніфікованими стандартами медичних технологій діагностично-лікувального процесу стаціонарної допомоги дорослому населенню в лікувально-профілактичних закладах України, затвердженими наказом МОЗ України №226 від 27 липня 1998 р. Результати. При травмі сечового міхура у 47 (83,9%) постраждалих зашили розрив стінки міхура з епіцистостомією і катетеризацією міхура катетером Фолея. При травмі уретри епіцистостомію поєднували з шинуванням уретри катетером у 27 (81,8%) хворих. У 3 пацієнтів основної групи використали первинний шов уретри в гострому періоді ТХ. У всіх пацієнтів з пошкодженнями прямої кишки накладали дводульну сигмостому. Операції на внутрішніх статевих органах виконані 3 (3,2%) постраждалим. Усього на тазових органах у гострому періоді ТХ виконано 94 оперативних втручання різної складності. Висновки. При політравмі переломи кісток таза були поєднані з травмою тазових органів у 24,1% постраждалих. Поєднане пошкодження тазових органів (за винятком пошкоджень прямої кишки) не є протипоказанням до виконання внутрішнього або комбінованого металоостеосинтезу нестабільного тазового кільця у постраждалих з політравмою в ранньому та пізньому періодах ТХ.
