Authors: Mario Francesco Fraioli , Damiano Lisciani , Andrea Pagano , Chiara Fraioli
Published: January 2025

Bilateral trigeminal neuralgia refractory to medical therapy is a rare occurrence and it is mandatory to choose therapeutic procedures minimizing possible bilateral sensitive deficit due to the employment of bilateral mininvasive ablative techniques. A patient affected by bilateral trigeminal neuralgia refractory to medical therapy secondary to multiple sclerosis is presented. Multiple therapeutic tools were employed in this challenging pathology. The second and third left trigeminal divisions were involved by the neuralgia, while the third division was involved in the right facial side. Controlled radiofrequency thermocoagulation was employed for the isolated right third division, then radiosurgery was conducted for the left hemifacial side. After one month, because of the persistence of pain attacks of the left second trigeminal division, peripheral authorizations were performed.
Control of pain, with the withdrawal of medical therapy (BNI scale class I), was achieved in this patient with a multi-therapeutic approach. Radiofrequency thermorizotomy was performed for the right third division because neuralgia was very acute, and immediate pain relief was achieved. Pain in the left third trigeminal division regressed after radiosurgery, while pain in the left second division continued after radiosurgery, then peripheral alcoholization was performed with pain control.
Bilateral trigeminal neuralgia refractory to medical therapy should be treated by the dedicated neurosurgeon, avoiding bilateral ablative techniques for the same division and using neurosurgical techniques according to the trigeminal division interested by the neuralgia and according to the intensity of pain.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership style on employee performance, considering the role of job satisfaction as a mediating variable. The research employs a quantitative approach with data analysis conducted using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected through a survey utilizing questionnaires distributed to 150 respondents working under transformational leadership. The findings indicate that transformational leadership style significantly affects employee performance. Job satisfaction also has a direct impact on employee performance and mediates the relationship between transformational leadership style and employee performance. This mediation effect is partial, as transformational leadership style retains a significant direct effect. The study contributes to the literature on leadership and human resource management by emphasizing the importance of job satisfaction as a mediating mechanism. Practical implications include the development of transformational leadership training programs and the enhancement of organizational strategies to support job satisfaction.

Published: January 2025

A chest drain is a medical procedure performed to remove air, fluid, or blood that has accumulated in the pleural cavity, the space between the lungs and the chest wall, to maintain normal lung function. The insertion of a chest drain can cause partial lung collapse or atelectasis. One of the post-surgical care strategies for patients with chest drains is deep breathing exercise therapy. To evaluate the effectiveness of deep breathing exercises on the rate of lung expansion in patients with respiratory disorders using chest drains. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group design. The sample consisted of 17 patients with chest drains, selected using total sampling. The measurement tool used was a Peak Flow Meter. Based on the Paired t-test and independent t-test results, the p-value was less than 0.05, indicating significance. The effectiveness test using Cohen's d effect size showed pre-test (1.0) and post-test (3.1) values greater than 0.8, indicating a large effect size. Deep breathing exercise therapy significantly and substantially affects lung expansion rate in patients with respiratory disorders using chest drains.

Anemia, particularly iron deficiency anemia, is a common health issue among nursing students that can significantly impact their academic performance. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of anemia and its effect on key academic indicators, including Intelligence Quotient (IQ), Academic Potential Test (APT) scores, study concentration, and cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA). This study employed a cross-sectional design. A total of 192 nursing students were selected as participants. Anemia status was assessed through blood tests, with participants classified as non-anemic, mildly anemic, or moderately anemic based on hemoglobin levels. Cognitive function was evaluated using standardized measures of IQ and APT scores. Study concentration was assessed through self-reported questionnaires, while academic performance was measured using the students' cumulative GPA. The chi-square test was used to examine the relationship between anemia status and various academic performance indicators. Students with anemia exhibited lower APT scores, reduced study concentration, and poorer GPA outcomes compared to their non-anemic peers (p<0.001). However, the relationship between anemia and IQ was not statistically significant (p<0.05).Conclusion: Anemia negatively impacts cognitive function and academic performance.

Maritime students face unique health challenges during their rigorous training programs, particularly during the mandatory on-board training. This study investigates the health-related experiences of maritime students, focusing on physical, psychological, and social factors impacting their well-being. A descriptive-phenomenological approach was used to explore the health challenges faced by five maritime students from Midway Colleges Inc. during their first three months of on-board training. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted over two months, from June to July 2023, examining their health experiences, adaptation strategies, and available health services. Participants reported several health issues, including hypertension, sexually transmitted diseases, and musculoskeletal disorders. Environmental factors like vibration, noise, and climate change, along with unhealthy lifestyles, contributed to these problems. Students used coping strategies, such as maintaining healthy lifestyles and seeking psychological support. Health services on-board were crucial but insufficient, prompting a call for improved health support. Maritime students encounter significant health challenges during their on-board training, which are exacerbated by environmental and lifestyle factors. Adaptation strategies and support systems play a critical role in managing these challenges. There is a pressing need for educational institutions and health workers to enhance health education, resilience training, and health services, ensuring better support for maritime students during their training. This will help prepare them for the demands of their profession and improve their long-term health outcomes.

Authors: Sabilla Berlianda Nur , Almanfaluthi Muhammad
Published: January 2025

Lean management is a dedicated, effective system for resource optimization, time efficiency, waste reduction, and care improvement. We aimed to evaluate the implementation of lean management in our hospital setting. We expect significant improvement in time efficiency, particularly in discharge time, administrative collection, and payment mechanism. We randomly collected 494 patients’ medical records regarding time departure after treatment—308 of 494 representing the period before lean implementation. We performed additional nested randomization stratified by hospital class services (first class, second class, third class, and VIP). The results confirmed substantial time reduction (Mann Whitney test < 0.01 with high effect sizes r-rank biserial = .98) in discharge time in the nursing administration and cashier sections before and after lean implementation. Moreover, these findings were consistent across class services (nested-Mann-Whitney <.0.01). The downward waiting time was visible if the patient was hospitalized in the first, second, third, or VIP class. Implementing lean management reduces to 78% waiting time compared to the period before implementation (95%CI IRR negative binomial regression 77-79%). Lean management practice among nurses slashes patient discharge waiting time by 78%, proving its power to streamline hospital operations and boost efficiency across all service classes.

Adolescence is a developmental stage where an individual progresses from the onset of secondary sexual characteristics to sexual maturity. During puberty, noticeable changes included rapid body growth, the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics, emotional fluctuations, and, most significantly for adolescent girls, the onset of menstruation. A lack of support from close family members in managing self-care during menstruation is a reproductive health issue that can lead to health disturbances.  The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between family support and self-efficacy towards menstrual hygiene management in female adolescents in grade XI of SMA N 1 Sidareja. This quantitative study was a cross-sectional correlational design. The study was conducted at SMA N 1 Sidareja from October 2023 to July 2024. The sample consisted of 105 eleventh-grade female students, selected using cluster random sampling followed by systematic random sampling. The research instruments included questionnaires assessing family support and self-efficacy in menstrual hygiene management Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The Chi-Square test results indicated a significant correlation between family support and self-efficacy in menstrual hygiene management among adolescent girls at SMA N 1 Sida`reja (p-value = 0.005). This shows that there is a significant relationship between family support and self-efficacy towards menstrual hygiene management with a correlation that has a positive direction, meaning that the better the family support, the higher the self-efficacy towards menstrual hygiene management. It can be concluded that there is a significant correlation between family support and self-efficacy in menstrual hygiene management among eleventh-grade girls at SMA N 1 Sidareja.
DIGITALISATION IN ANGLING TOURISM: INTRODUCING NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO A TRADITIONAL TOURISM PRODUCT

Published: January 2025

In recent years, the use of digital solutions in tourism has accelerated and smart solutions are now used even in
areas that are less technology-oriented, such as angling tourism. Angling itself and angling tourism seem rather traditional,
definitely not tech-savvy activities, ones that can be categorised among the ecotourism or slow tourism products. It is not to
say, however, that angling tourism does not evolve and is immune to the trends released in tourism. Re cently there were huge
changes in the regulation and organisation of angling in Hungary (and further changes are expected to come), which brought
about a surge in the number of anglers in Hungary and the development of angling tourism. By now angling has become by
far the hobby in Hungary done by the largest number of people; after a steady growth for decades, the number of registered
anglers has by now reached almost one million persons, i.e. approximately ten per cent of the Hungarian population are anglers
(and so potential target group of angling tourism), which makes the investigation of the topic of angling tourism really important
– not to mention the fact that not only domestic but also inbound angling tourism is characteristic of Hungary. Among the
changes, in 2019 the electronic support of angling administration was launched through the so-called HORINFO system run by
MOHOSZ, the Hungarian National Angling Association. This paper summarises the changes and their consequences, explores
the current digitalisation of angling tourism, its benefits, and examines the acceptance of new technologies by anglers. The
results of the research show that the digitalisation and the introduction of new technologies accelerated during the Covid -19
epidemic, but their adoption by angling tourism has been slower. The study shows the importance of digitalisation in
monitoring the environmental pillar of sustainability and the interventions needed. The study also provides a thorough
investigation of the Hungarian and international literature of angling tourism, rather deficient to date, and gives
recommendations on the further development of the HORINFO system. The significance of the issue is enhanced by the fact
that Hungary now has a National Angling Development Strategy to strategically found further angling tourism developments.
Navigating Social and Emotional Learning Evidence in a Polarized Socio-Political Environment: A Qualitative Pilot Study of SEL Stakeholders
Authors: McCarthy Michael Frank , Ahmad Eliya , NG ZI JIA , Barnes Sophie , Ha Cheyeon , Cipriano Christina
Published: January 2025

Despite the robust research evidence for social and emotional learning (SEL) in supporting students with developing skills critical to their success in school and life, an increasingly polarized socio-political climate is diminishing the public's confidence in the research evidence and, in some cases, producing misinformation – or false evidence- as well as disinformation – or intentionally false evidence. Both have the potential to contribute to exclusionary policies and inequitable social and emotional experiences for students in the United States. This manuscript explores whether and how SEL stakeholders (n=25) understand, access, and use evidence to inform SEL-related decisions across professions, including K-12 educators, school administrators, and district personnel as well as policymakers, families, and SEL researchers and advocates. Results from this pilot study suggest that SEL research evidence currently lacks accessibility for policy makers, educational leaders, and practitioners, and that the evidence that is available is limited in its translation to use in practice. How stakeholders identify and use SEL evidence is diverse, and most stakeholders access SEL evidence via news and education media. Opportunities for improving SEL evidence understanding, access, and use in the current U. S. socio-political climate are discussed.
Face Pareidolia is Sensitive to Spectral Power and Orientation Energy
Authors: Balas Benjamin
Published: January 2025

The human visual system is sensitive to statistical regularities in natural images. Thisincludes general properties like the characteristic 1/f power-spectrum fall-off coefficientobserved across diverse natural scenes and category-specific properties like the biasfavoring horizontal contrast energy for face recognition. Here, we examined thesensitivity of face pareidolia in adult observers to these image properties using fractalnoise images and an unconstrained pareidolic face detection task. We presentedparticipants in separate experiments with (Experiment 1) noise patterns with varyingspectral fall-off coefficients and (Experiment 2) noise patterns with bandpass orientationfiltering such that either horizontal or vertical contrast energy was limited. In bothexperiments, we found that face pareidolia rates were sensitive to these manipulations.In Experiment 1, we found that fractal noise patterns with steeper fall-off coefficients(favoring coarser appearance) led to lower rates of pareidolic face detection. InExperiment 2, we found that despite the clear bias favoring horizontal contrast energy ina wide range of face recognition tasks, both horizontal and vertical orientation bandpassfiltering reduced rates of face pareidolia relative to isotropic images. We suggest thatthese results indicate that detecting pareidolic faces depends on the availability of face-like information across many low-level channels rather than a favored scale ororientation that is face-specific.
Factors Affecting Youth Unemployment in Nepal
Authors: Khatri Bishnu B. , Poudel Omkar , Acharya Pradeep
Published: January 2025

Youth unemployment remains a critical socio-economic challenge in Nepal, despite notable economic growth and substantial remittance inflows. This study examines the determinants of youth unemployment, focusing on economic, demographic, and policy-related factors such as GDP growth, remittances, foreign direct investment (FDI), population growth, and trade openness. Utilizing secondary time series data from 1993 to 2023, the research applies the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model, complemented by unit root tests and co-integration analysis, to evaluate short- and long-term relationships. The findings indicate that while GDP growth positively influences youth labor force participation, remittances and FDI contribute to higher unemployment by failing to create sustainable domestic job opportunities. Population growth and urbanization further exacerbate unemployment challenges, and the impact of trade openness is mixed, with short-term benefits overshadowed by potential long-term job losses. These results underscore structural inefficiencies in Nepal's labor market. The study concludes that policy interventions are essential to ensure that economic growth translates into inclusive employment opportunities for the youth. Emphasizing targeted investment in labor-intensive industries and addressing demographic pressures are vital for mitigating youth unemployment. This research provides novel insights by integrating FDI and trade openness into the analysis, offering a comprehensive understanding of youth unemployment dynamics in Nepal. Future research should focus on the sectoral distribution of FDI, the role of technology in employment, and the effectiveness of government programs in reducing youth unemployment.

Authors: Jha Rajiv , Shrestha Rajendra , Rajbhandari Binod , Bhattarai Sushil Mohan , Aryal Sameer , Jha Binit , Karki Anuj Jung , Gautam Sindhu
Published: January 2025

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a neuromodulation therapy which is used to treat intractable seizures not responding well with antiepileptic drugs.This procedure involves the implantation of a device that delivers electrical impulses to the vagus nerve, which in turn modulates neural activity in the brain, potentially reducing the frequency and severity of seizures. Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) was first approved for treating partial epilepsy but is now showing promise for various seizure disorders, including generalized epilepsy and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. The exact mechanism of this device is unclear, but it is believed to work at multiple levels, initially by  desynchronizing brain activity. Implanting the VNS device is generally safe, with infection being the most common complication. Vocal cord paralysis is the primary neurological issue post-implantation,alongside transient effects like hoarseness, cough, and nausea, which typically don't require stopping treatment.

While many studies have examined work–life satisfaction within the field of student affairs, few have examined the dissonance between new professionals’ expectations for professional practice and their experience in the first few years. Using a narrative inquiry method, this qualitative study investigated how professionalism is both practiced and challenged by new professionals in student affairs. Through individual semi-structured interviews and focus groups with 25 new professionals who graduated from the same student affairs preparation program, the authors learned about their expectations and desires for professional practice. The findings suggest that new professionals desire a new construct of professionalism that centers well-being for both the self and the collective. Their action-oriented approach to centering well-being involves practicing authenticity with self and others and engaging in acts of self-preservation, specifically setting boundaries and prioritizing mental health. The results of this study may further inform policy and practices in student affairs related to onboarding, supervision, and workplace culture, which may increase overall job satisfaction, decrease attrition among new professionals, and reframe ideas of professionalism in student affairs. Supervisors and divisional leaders within student affairs should seek to create environments where authenticity is welcomed and where acts of self-preservation are encouraged and supported, centering the professional within professionalism.
“The Experience of Pausing”: Understanding the Essence of Pilgrimage and Meaning-Making Journeys to Advocate Organizational Behavioral Change
Authors: Montelongo Ricardo
Published: January 2025

Spiritual perspectives in organizational theory are relatively recent approaches to understanding the behaviors of complex organizations. Emerging in the 1990s, the literature on modern organizations, especially in the United States, saw a rise in individuals questioning if they could find meaning and purpose in their work. This study investigated the application of spiritual perspectives on the complex organizations of higher education institutions. Ideas found in pilgrimage were used to explain how higher education administrators, faculty, and leaders used such experiences to advocate organizational behavioral changes. In using a specific pilgrimage, the essence of these journeys provided lessons and different approaches for working with highly complex, often bureaucratic, higher education institutions. Findings contribute additional knowledge on how spirituality and pilgrimage influence individual behavior in complex organizations.
Conditions favorables à l’engagement communautaire : évaluation participative de l’adaptation culturelle d’un programme de développement des filles au Sénégal, Afrique
Authors: Saavedra Rodrigo Quiroz , Aubel Judi
Published: January 2025

Les programmes pour le développement des jeunes se fondent sur les forces des jeunes et les facteurs environnementaux favorisant leur résilience. La recherche adopte une approche qualitative et participative, reposant sur des entretiens individuels, des groupes de discussion, et l’analyse participative. Les résultats révèlent que les participants jugent pertinent d’intégrer des éléments culturels et religieux (tels que la langue locale et les pratiques religieuses) dans la mise en œuvre de ce programme, et que ces éléments ont créé des conditions favorables à l’engagement communautaire. De plus, la combinaison des sources de données a permis de formaliser et mettre à l’épreuve l’approche axée sur la culture et la religion du programme étudié. Nous suggérons que cette étude permet de mieux cerner la responsabilité de l’évaluateur dans la mise en pratique d’une évaluation sensible à la culture lorsqu’il travail.

“Considering that we have 10 years to radically transform our societies to make them sustainable and equitable, what would be the most important action that we should implement in our practice, as evaluators?” Nine experienced evaluators, representing a variety of practices, cultures, contexts, and genders, agreed to address this question. With this article, we explore how the evaluation field could help implement the foundations for achieving this utopia. After receiving the testimonies, a content analysis was conducted to identify the salient themes. The objective was not to find a consensus based on the suggestions but to create meaning from the different ideas. The draft analysis was shared with the participants, who were invited to become co-authors. Some voiced their skepticism on the capacity of the field to envision a new utopia. All indicated the need for evaluators to transcend the status quo mindset, emphasizing the importance of working with communities to increase their self-determination. One participant also raised the importance of contributing to larger social movements. The implications for the role of the evaluator are discussed.

This article discusses the evolution of data management strategies for non-profit organizations, transitioning from spreadsheets to more scalable database systems. As non-profits grow and their data becomes more complex, the need for robust database solutions becomes apparent. The article examines the types of databases suitable for program evaluation, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each. It also explores the challenges non-profits face in implementing these systems, such as infrastructure limitations, lack of full-time IT support, and the need for staff training. Through case studies, successful database implementations are analyzed to derive best practices. The findings emphasize the importance of tailored database solutions, ongoing staff training, and collaborations with IT experts for non-profits to maximize the benefits of database systems in their program evaluations.
When judges are not judging
Authors: Yam Julius
Published: January 2025

This article takes a rare look at the extrajudicial measures, or ‘non-adjudicative strategies,’ which judges of domestic courts can take to build their institution. Although much has been written about the strategies that judges deploy within the adjudicative context, little is known about how judges can strengthen themselves institutionally outside the courtroom. This article identifies the use of non-adjudicative strategies as a global phenomenon and offers a systematic appraisal of the non-adjudicative strategies that judges can deploy and when they should consider using them. Drawing on comparative examples from different regions and regime types, as well as synthesizing insights from a range of fields, the article offers a double typology, breaking down non-adjudicative strategies by form and by function in order to better grasp the variety of strategies available and their effects. It also reflects on the risks of adopting these strategies and develops standards for evaluating the legitimate uses of non-adjudicative strategies. The article encourages reflection on how judges should address contemporary institutional challenges and conceptions of the judicial role.
Marx, justice, and the juridical
Authors: Sypnowich Christine
Published: January 2025

Igor Shoikhedbrod’s stimulating monograph, Revisiting Marx’s Critique of Liberalism: Rethinking Justice, Legality and Rights, provides a timely occasion to reflect on how legal procedures might be conceptualized against the background of a radical progressive project, and how justice, in all its forms, might be achieved in an ideal socialist society. The book’s mission is to defend Karl Marx against critics who contend that the concept of justice is either rejected or seriously compromised by Marx’s historical materialist commitments and communist ideals. Shoikhedbrod’s book is both scholarly and insightful, but his aim of vindicating Marx limits his capacity to appreciate fully the need for law to mediate conflict in even the most ideal egalitarian communities and, at the same time, to ward off the preoccupation with the juridical to engage fully with the socialist commitment to equal human flourishing.
