Published: January 2025

Background: Venous thromboembolic disease (VTD) is influenced by various biological, medical, and ecological risk factors, with thrombophilia representing an acquired or hereditary predisposition to venous thromboembolism (VTE). The complexity of identifying suitable candidates for thrombophilia testing and interpreting results greatly complicates clinical management. Methods: This review evaluates traditional inherited thrombophilia, including deficiencies in natural anticoagulants and mutations such as factor V Leiden and prothrombin G20210A. It emphasizes the necessity of molecular diagnostics over traditional plasma tests, particularly in patients undergoing direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) therapy. The review also discusses the timing of thrombophilia testing and the role of genotyping. Results: The findings reveal that the presence of DOACs can significantly interfere with laboratory assays for thrombophilia. Functional assays for antithrombin, protein C, and protein S demonstrate variability in sensitivity to DOACs, leading to potential false-negative results. The review highlights the importance of neutralizing DOACs before testing to ensure accurate results and explores emerging adsorbent methods to eliminate DOAC interference. Conclusion: The laboratory diagnosis of hereditary thrombophilia is increasingly challenging due to the widespread use of DOACs. Enhanced understanding of how these medications affect testing is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment. The review suggests that specialized laboratories should conduct thrombophilia assessments in patients on DOACs to improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical outcomes

Published: January 2025

Background: Early detection and prompt treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) in the emergency department (ED) are pivotal for reducing morbidity and mortality. Chest pain is a common presenting symptom in the ED, necessitating effective risk stratification and decision-making to distinguish between acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and benign conditions. Methods: This systematic review evaluates the application of machine learning (ML) algorithms in identifying myocardial infarction among patients presenting with nonspecific chest pain in the ED. A comprehensive search of databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase was performed for studies published until 2023, which investigated ML methodologies in this context. Results: The review highlights a substantial interest in machine learning applications, demonstrating that ML techniques have significant potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy and prognostic capabilities compared to traditional clinical decision tools such as the TIMI and HEART scores. ML algorithms exhibited higher sensitivity and specificity in detecting MI, ultimately alleviating diagnostic burdens on emergency physicians. However, challenges remain in integrating these technologies into routine clinical practice due to issues related to data quality, model interpretability, and acceptance among healthcare providers. Conclusion: While machine learning holds promise for transforming the assessment of chest pain in the emergency department, further research is necessary to address existing limitations, including bias, data integration, and generalizability. The future landscape of emergency medicine could benefit from robust ML models that can assist clinicians in decision-making, leading to improved patient outcomes and more efficient healthcare delivery

The Impact of Iran’s Support for Armed Militias on Political Divisions in States: The Cases of Lebanon and Iraq
Authors: Jumaa Fadi A
Published: January 2025

This study explores the impact of Iran’s support for armed militias on political divisions in Lebanon and Iraq. It delves into the mechanisms through which such support exacerbates internal divisions, undermines state authority, and influences governance. By analyzing case studies from Lebanon and Iraq, the research identifies patterns of political fragmentation, challenges to sovereignty, and regional implications. Recommendations are proposed for mitigating the adverse effects of external support for militias on domestic politics. Iran’s involvement has proven to be a double-edged sword, providing militias with resources and strategic depth while fragmenting national political landscapes. Lebanon and Iraq, despite their distinct historical and political contexts, share similarities in how Iran’s support has shaped their internal dynamics. Hezbollah in Lebanon, for instance, represents the epitome of a hybrid organization that wields both political and military power, undermining the authority of the central government. On the other hand, Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) highlight how militias can become embedded within state structures, challenging the very sovereignty they purport to protect. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how external support for militias translates into domestic political crises. It further investigates the broader regional ramifications of such interventions, considering how Iran’s strategies align with its geopolitical goals. Through a detailed exploration of Lebanon and Iraq, this research seeks to illuminate the mechanisms by which external interference disrupts governance, perpetuates sectarianism, and destabilizes regions. Moreover, the research delves into historical antecedents, tracing Iran’s militia strategies back to the Iranian Revolution and the Iran-Iraq War. It highlights how these historical moments laid the foundation for Tehran’s contemporary policies. By focusing on the socio-economic dimensions, this study examines the dual role of militias in providing services to local communities while simultaneously undermining state legitimacy. The interplay of political, economic, and military factors forms the crux of this investigation, shedding light on the complex relationship between external actors and domestic instability

It is common to overlook or perceive culture as an extra component in EFL teaching. Modern linguistic theories emphasize the importance of focusing on culture as an essential part of language teaching. Since The communication approach was relied upon in teaching language at the end of the sixties, the concept of communicative competence has been highlighted, which many researchers believe develops not only through learning language skills, but We also mention this as well actual language interaction (Richards and Rodgers, 2001).Kramsch From his perspective, culture is not considered a “fifth skill” that is part of the skill traditional skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing), but rather represents a background that exists from the beginning of language learning, causing changes in learners’ perception of language and revealing the limits of their communicative competence (Kramsch, 1993: 1). Tseng's sociolinguistic perspective links language and culture, highlighting that language proficiency involves not only grammatical accuracy but also the ability to use language appropriately in various contexts. He believes that understanding the culture that underlies a language is essential for successful language learning (Tsing, 12: 2002).

Authors: Rahmawan Muhammad Diandra , Pradana Mahir , Yunani Akhmad
Published: January 2025

This study explores the factors that influence the intention to use Islamic mortgage products in Indonesia, specifically focusing on Brand Awareness, Risk Perception, Religiosity, and their impact on Intention to Use. Using quantitative methods, 200 respondents were surveyed to gauge their interest in using Islamic mortgage products. The analysis used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through SmartPLS to evaluate the relationship between the variables. The findings show that Brand Awareness plays the most important role in shaping consumers' intention to use Islamic mortgage products, with a path coefficient of 0.773, which indicates a strong and significant influence. Perceived Risk also significantly influences Brand Awareness (β = 0.689), highlighting that consumers' perception of risk can shape their awareness of Islamic mortgage options, although its direct impact on Intention to Use is relatively smaller (β = 0.118). In addition, Religiosity was found to have a meaningful yet moderate influence on Brand Awareness (β = 0.275) and Intention to Use (β = 0.085), underscoring the relevance of religious values in consumers' decision-making process. Overall, the results suggest that to increase the adoption of Islamic mortgage products in Indonesia, financial institutions should focus on increasing Brand Awareness, reducing Perceived Risk, and increasing the religiosity of their target audience. Marketing strategies that emphasize Shariah compliance, transparency, and ethical financial practices can encourage the intention to use Islamic mortgages, thereby contributing to the growth of the Islamic financial sector in Indonesia.

From Complaints to Opportunities: Analyzing Grievance Trends and Responsiveness in the 4Ps
Authors: Melad Kris Ann
Published: January 2025

The grievance redress system (GRS) of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) aims to facilitate due process in resolving the concerns and complaints of beneficiary households, program stakeholders, and the general public about the program. Like other social programs globally, the 4Ps GRS serves as a social accountability measure to address risks of error, fraud, corruption, and leakages due to the complex nature of program operations. This study examines the 4Ps GRS by analyzing grievance case data from 2010 to 2022. It identifies key patterns and challenges, noting a significant increase in grievance volume following procedural guideline upgrades and calamitous events, while a decline in cases occurred due to issues with the management information systems. Payment-related issues were the most common grievances in terms of volume, reflecting challenges in distributing cash transfers, a key feature of the conditional cash transfer program. Most grievances were filed in person, highlighting the importance of direct interaction and staff capacity building for effective grievance management. Overall, grievance resolution rates were high, but the decline in 2021–2022 warrants a review of procedures and underlying causes. A regression analysis revealed factors influencing timely resolution, such as submission modes and regional disparities. Interviews from a previous study indicated limited beneficiary awareness, delays in resolutions, and poor access to case updates. To address these issues, recommendations include strengthening data management, enhancing staff capabilities, promoting beneficiary awareness, and implementing regular evaluation and monitoring. These findings underscore the need for targeted approaches to strengthen grievance resolution in the 4Ps.
Crisis and Risk Communication in a Pandemic: Insights from Local Governments’ Experience with COVID-19
Authors: Siar Sheila , Lorenzo Pauline Joy
Published: January 2025

Local government units (LGUs) are at the forefront of the Philippine government’s COVID-19 pandemic response. One of their crucial functions is crisis and risk communication to ease public fear, mitigate the pandemic’s damage, and promote the adoption of health and safety protocols. However, only a few studies have examined LGUs’ COVID-19 experience, and no study has delved deeply into the crisis and risk communication strategies of Philippine LGUs. To fill this gap, this study investigated how LGUs communicated with their residents during the pandemic, particularly from 2020 to 2021, following the Crisis and Emergency Risk Communication model. It utilized a mixed method approach encompassing desk review, a cursory audit of national COVID-19 plans and policies, key informant interviews with representatives from Pasay, Manila, Caloocan, and Navotas, and a content analysis of COVID-19-related Facebook posts from these LGUs. The results revealed the LGUs’ lack of a strong preparation phase, highlighting their reactive approach to the pandemic. All four LGUs did not have a communication plan and a monitoring and evaluation system, which hindered the systematic implementation, monitoring, and assessment of their communication strategies. A closer look at their interventions showed that they used a combination of traditional, electronic, and digital communication channels. Digital channels, such as social media, virtual meetings and groups, and online messaging platforms, were largely used and proved useful amid mobility restrictions and the need for physical distancing. Traditional channels remained useful, particularly face-to-face communication whenever possible, printed materials, and interpersonal channels on the ground like barangay officials and health personnel. While social media was largely used, LGUs failed to maximize its potential to combat fake news and enhance their responsiveness to the public. The analysis of the LGUs’ Facebook messages indicated a need for clearer communication by using local languages more frequently, simplifying technical terms, and increasing the use of visual communication. Several contextual factors affected the LGUs’ communication functions during the pandemic. These included delays in receiving official memos on new policies from the national government, rapidly changing guidelines, difficulty in communicating a novel disease, inadequate training in science, risk, and crisis communication, insufficient resources, personal health risks of COVID-19, and spread of false information.

Portanto, as duas mulheres Tremembé, Conceição Moura e Raimunda Marquês, protagonizaram a educação em suas comunidades de origem, mesmo diante de vários obstáculos demonstraram bravura ao superarem desafios e conquistarem a educação para seu povo, e em particular esse curso específico denominado pelos indígenas de Cuiambá, repleto de suas singularidades. Por isso, essas mulheres são construtoras de conhecimentos, saberes e práticas que culminam para a construção de seu protagonismo de mulher Tremembé, na aldeia e na sociedade.

Por meio de uma atividade qualitativa realizada com a turma da disciplina História Social da Infância, do 2° período do curso de Pedagogia da Universidade Estadual Vale do Acaraú – UVA, buscou-se explorar a cinebiografia (auto)biográfica como recurso reflexivo, utilizando-se da obra fílmica ‘O Contador de Histórias’ para potencializar as questões histórico-socioculturais da infância. Considerando o exposto, o objetivo deste trabalho consistiu em analisar as potencialidades da cinebiografia (auto)biográfica como instrumento didático-pedagógico reflexivo no âmbito universitário, mediante a análise das percepções dos discentes sobre a obra fílmica. A referida atividade contribuiu na promoção do diálogo entre os discentes, ampliou e enriqueceu as discussões em sala de aula, promoveu o pensamento crítico dos discentes e a valorização das narrativas interpessoais. Assim, mediante a integração entre a formação histórico-sociocultural da infância, as narrativas (auto)biográficas e as perspectivas de futuros docentes, destaca-se o potencial reflexivo-formativo desta metodologia.

Applying forensic engineering to cyber security incidents
Authors: Jordaan Jason
Published: January 2025

Cyber security incidents are becoming increasingly common, and society is demanding accountability for failures that lead to them. Traditional incident response focuses on containment and recovery, but it often overlooks the root cause and potential liability. This paper proposes applying forensic engineering to cyber security incidents to investigate flaws in systems and hold organisations responsible for negligence. Cyber security structures and systems should be held to the same standards of accountability as physical structures, and forensic engineering can identify flaws in cyber security systems and determine if negligence was involved, especially where there are appropriate laws and regulation to do this. This approach promotes a sense of justice and incentivises organisations to invest in stronger cyber security measures.
Documentation Requirements
Authors: Saha Gourab
Published: January 2025

Medical record documentation forms the foundation of medical coding and billing, encompassing essential components that ensure accurate coding, proper reimbursement, and quality patient care. The documentation process starts with patient demographics and progresses through detailed clinical documentation including chief complaint, history of present illness, past medical history, family history, social history, and review of systems. Physical examination findings and assessment/plan complete the basic clinical documentation. Supporting documentation includes laboratory results, diagnostic imaging reports, consultation notes, operative reports, pathology findings, nursing notes, progress notes, and various medical orders. The query process facilitates communication between providers and coders to clarify documentation ambiguities through concurrent or retrospective queries. Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) programs systematically enhance documentation quality through concurrent review, provider education, quality monitoring, and compliance oversight. Regulatory compliance requirements govern documentation practices, including HIPAA regulations, Medicare/Medicaid requirements, medical necessity documentation, coding compliance, and electronic health record standards. Healthcare organizations must maintain robust audit programs and provide ongoing education to ensure documentation meets all applicable standards while protecting patient privacy and security

Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study was to examine the factors associated with middle school students" attitudes towards peers with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in Greek mainstream schools. A sample of 138 students participated in this study and data were collected using a questionnaire containing a sociodemographic section and a section measuring attitudes. It was also tested whether the participants" attitudes are influenced by factors such as gender, familiarity with children with SEN, place of residence, achievement score, occupation and educational level of the parents. The main results indicate that middle school students have positive attitudes towards peers with designated SEN. The importance of these and the other findings of the research are discussed. It is expected that the research will provide useful information for education professionals and educational policy makers and will contribute to the formulation of effective strategies in the pursuit of inclusion and equality of opportunity for students with special educational needs.
Education of vulnerable adult groups: The case of inmates in penal institutions
Authors: KATSINIKAS KONSTANTINOS , LAZARIDIS GEORGE , LAZARIDOU VASILIKI
Published: January 2025

This paper deals with the education of prisoners in penal institutions. Prisoners are a vulnerable group with some special additional characteristics. While the existing legal framework provides for and strengthens training programs, unfortunately many similar efforts encounter serious difficulties. An adult educator has to overcome a series of obstacles and develop special techniques in order to be able to offer them the inalienable good of education, either in the form of basic knowledge or in the form of vocational training. The essential value of education in prison is emphasized as perhaps the basic resource that can disengage prisoners from the vicious cycle of incarceration and also offer an alternative to the problems that they experience every day.
Teachers’ ideas about 17 goals of sustainable development and their relation to Environmental Education
Authors: LITHOXOIDOU LOUKIA
Published: January 2025

Agenda 2030 and Education for Sustainable Development (E.S.D.) indicate 17 goals of sustainable development as an educational priority. What is the status in Greece? The main pursuit of this research is to find out whether Greek educators follow this line and apply it when they plan their projects. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data from sixty five educators. Data analysis shows that even though educators consider socio – economic goals of high importance, when they schedule Environmental Education (E.E.) programmes they focus on environmental goals. One might say that educators don’t fully implement the mandates of E.E. or Education for the Environment and Sustainability (E.E.S.). Social values issues, such as equity and justice, and economic goals should be addressed during the educational programmes. Perhaps, an in-service suitable course could be effective.
