Published: May 2023

This study was conducted to assess the association between risk of fall and relating factors in osteoporosis patients at the National Geriatrics Hospital. This is a cross-sectional study on 141 osteoporotic patients aged ≥ 60 years old examined or treated at the National Geriatric Hospital. Data were collected by using designed tools including characteristics of these patients. We entered data on Redcap and used SPSS version 22.0 for analysis. The mean age and standard deviation were 73.12 (8.62) with female patients accounted for majority with 94.3%. The mean age of patients with high risk of falls was higher than patients with low risk of falling (with p < 0.05). Heart failure and diabetes mellitus were associated with the risk of falls in older patients with osteoporosis (p < 0.05). The mean Charlson Index and mean number of diseases in the group of patients at high risk of falls were higher than in the group of patients with low risk of falls (with p < 0.05). The study showed that advanced age, heart failure, diabetes, and depression were significantly associated with a higher risk of falls in older patients with osteoporosis.

Published: May 2023

In this paper we give an overview of an open disaggregated network architecture based on an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN), including the current work from standards bodies and industry bodies in this area. Based on this architecture, a framework for the automation of xApp development and deployment is proposed. This is then aligned with the key concepts described in ITU-T in terms of the evolution, experimentation, and adaptation of controllers. The various steps in such an aligned workflow, including design, validation, and deployment of xApps, are discussed, and use case examples are provided to illustrate further our position regarding the mechanisms needed to achieve automation.
The Effect of National Culture on the Creation of Positive Emotions: A Study Involving a Selection of States in India
Authors: Al Mubarak Hanan
Published: May 2023

Having a broad range of emotions gives our lives color and texture, and perhaps makes them meaningful. Through the phenomenon of jumping from one emotion to another can be difficult to fathom at times. Emotional conflict can result in arising of a whole gamut of feelings and emotions; veering from love to fear, upset to joy, happiness to sadness and more is the virtual transformation of the internal emotional conflict (Fredrickson, et al., 2003). Positive emotions change the boundaries of the way that people perceive and operate within the world. They create the necessary space to allow for the blossoming of the individual (Fredrickson & Kahneman, 1993). The purpose of this paper is to examine the interrelationship between selected indexes of the national culture, and positive emotions. The sample group consisted of one hundred Indian expatriates living in the Kingdom of Bahrain and working in the healthcare sector. Four subgroups, each consisting of twenty-five people, represented the four States, from different parts of India. Although work has been done on comparing emotional indices of national culture, it seemed interesting and worthwhile to examine the variation within a nation state, clearly, the more aware we are of cultural influences, and their impact on emotional state, the easier it is to foster good relations, both on a personal level, and in the workplace. A research model examining the impact of cultural dimensions on positive emotions has been created, based on previous studies. Quantitative as well as qualitative methods have been used, in an attempt to achieve the objectives. A comparison of culture compass analysis between the four States has been conducted. The results have shown that there is a noticeable difference between them, in terms of the level of incidence of positive emotions.

Background: Dietary fats impact male reproductive functions. The effect of consumption of normal rat chow with the Mediterranean main fat, extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), and its major component, oleic acid (OA) in non-metabolic disease states on reproductive hormonal functions is however unknown. Objectives: This study investigated the effect of EVOO and OA in normal diet feeding on reproductive hormones and lipid profiles. Methods: Eighteen male Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups and fed as follows: Group I (Control) fed the normal rat chow. Group II (extra-virgin olive oil: EVOO) fed the normal diet plus 1 ml/kg/day EVOO. Group III (oleic acid: OA) fed the normal diet plus 1 ml/kg/day OA as previously described. After 4 weeks of the experimental period, reproductive hormones, lipid profile, glucose, and total protein levels were assessed. Results: The serum luteinizing hormone (LH) level was significantly increased in both EVOO and OA groups, with no significant difference in serum testosterone (T) levels. The testicular T and serum oestradiol levels were significantly decreased in the EVOO groups but were significantly increased in the OA groups when compared to the control. There was a significant increase in the serum LDL-C in both EVOO and OA groups when compared to the control. The serum HDL-C levels were significantly decreased (p < 0.05) in both EVOO and OA groups when compared to control. Conclusion: The administration of EVOO and OA in normal diet feeding resulted in diminished serum testosterone levels and serum HDL-C levels.

Published: May 2023

This study aims to determine the leadership pattern applied by the Sultanah of Aceh in the development of science from 1641-1699 AD. The method used in this study is the historical method. The election of Sultanah Aceh in its historical reflection experienced turbulence between groups who opposed the ascension to the throne of leadership from the Sultanah of Aceh. So that in its development, starting from the leadership of Sultanah Tajul Alam until the time of Kamalat Shah, the opponents (Wujudiyah) continued to try to overthrow Sultanah's leadership in the kingdom of Aceh Darussalam. The results of this study indicate that the leadership pattern of Sultanah Aceh in the development of science in the first period showed a significant development, until the fourth period. Although actually the sultanah as the queen had high authority, the Sultanah still held consultations with the royal advisor who was then held by a cleric, especially in determining an action or policy aimed at achieving progress towards the Aceh kingdom.
Examining ethical leadership’s effectiveness by a dual-path approach
Authors: Chin-Yi Shu Chin-Yi Shu
Published: May 2023

Drawing on value activation, we propose that experiencing ethical leadership will encourage an employee’s altruistic motivation and inhibit their egoistic motivation for performing OCB. We further draw on the interactionist perspective to contend that psychological capital and dark triad personality will moderate the effects of experienced ethical leadership towards altruistic and egoistic motivation. A total of 339 participants took part in this study. The results confirm that ethical leadership affects altruistic and egoistic motivation in performing OCB and that psychological capital and dark triad personality were found to moderate the relationship between ethical leadership and motivations. Moreover, altruistic motivation was found to mediate the moderating effect of psychological capital on the relationship between experienced ethical leadership and employee OCB as well as egoistic motivation was also found to mediate the moderating effect of dark triad personality on the relationship between experienced ethical leadership and employee’s OCB. This study complements the literature by showing how experienced EL work with psychological capital and dark triad personality to jointly influence altruistic and egoistic motivation that leads to employee OCB. This study explains the process of ethical leadership influencing subordinates’ OCB through the perspective of value activation. It also points out the limitations of ethical leadership. If managers want to adopt ethical leadership, they must pay special attention to the working attitude of dark triad subordinates and appropriately remind them to improve their organizational citizenship behavior.

 
重大創傷跳島轉診以及5G智慧救護車
Authors: 邱柏惟 邱柏惟
Published: May 2023

成大醫院急診部在2019年提出「特殊傷病患跳島策略」，縮短運送時間，透過連結院前救護和院後治療的方式，讓患者在短時間內得到初步評估和穩定生命跡象，並且安全轉送至醫學中心接受適切治療。自2020年起，已有55位生命徵象不穩定的重大傷病患透過此轉診模式由偏鄉地區轉診至成大，其中有43位存活離開急診並接受後續療。2022年成大急診部與遠傳電信合作，推出2.0版本的跳島策略，透過5G科技導入智慧救護，包括視訊通訊、遠程監控、智慧救護車和智慧穿戴等，提高到院前的醫療品質和效率。期待已此模式當成一個＂pilot study＂；讓5G通訊技術在未來的緊急醫療中扮演更重要的角色，造福更多的病人。

 

In 2019, the National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) Hospital Department of Emergency Medicine proposed an “island hopping” strategy for patients with special injuries to shorten patient transportation time. Specifically, through the coordination of prehospital care and posthospital treatment, patients can be assessed and stabilized t an early stage within a short time and transferred safely to a medical center for appropriate treatment. Since 2020, 55 critically injured patients with unstable vital signs have been referred to NCKU Hospital from remote areas through this transfer model, with 43 of them discharged from the emergency department alive and receiving follow-up treatment. In 2022, NCKU Hospital Department of Emergency Medicine collaborated with FarEastone Telecom in formulating Version 2.0 of the island hopping strategy, which incorporates smart emergency care through the use of 5G technology to facilitate the implementation of video communication, remote monitoring, smart ambulances, and smart wearable devices. The smart emergency care model improves the quality and efficiency of prehospital care. This model shall constitute a pilot study for incorporating 5G communication technology as a key instrument for emergency medicine to benefit more patients.

Published: May 2023

隨著全國每萬人醫師數逐年上升，醫療資源仍集中於都會區域，偏遠地區緊急醫療資源仍相對不足。衛生福利部於2018年「通訊診療治療辦法」放寬遠距醫療之照護對象與模式，並在2021年正式將急診納入「全民健康保險遠距醫療給付計畫」給付範圍。遠距醫療在急重症病人照護已有實證應用，基於遠距醫療專科門診系統建置經驗，結合醫療與資訊科技發展，建置急診遠距醫療會診系統。在面臨緊急醫療搶救，急診遠距醫療須具備好的工具進行資訊傳遞，包含友善操作介面、即時且重要的醫療資訊交換、紀錄留存及綠色通道團隊預先啟動，並可提供大量傷患迅速應變支援，縮短急重症病人醫療處置等待時間。急診遠距醫療會診系統之建置已開啟創新之急重症就醫模式，惟系統功能仍須透過滾動式修正及持續教育訓練，使醫護人員熟悉操作並列入常規系統使用，以作為偏遠地區醫院急診病人第二意見諮詢及轉診評估，降低病人不必要之轉診，提升病人醫療品質。

 

Although the number of medical doctors per 10,000 residents in Taiwan has been increasing, most medical resources remain concentrated in metropolitan areas, and emergency medical resources in remote areas remain insufficient. In 2018, the Ministry of Health and Welfare passed the Rules of Medical Diagnosis and Treatment by Telecommunications to expand the coverage of people and models eligible for telemedicine services. In 2021, emergency services were included in the coverage of the National Health Insurance Telemedicine Benefits Plan. Telemedicine has been applied in emergency and critical care with empirical evidence. Based on the experience in establishing a telemedicine specialist outpatient system and the incorporation of medical and information technologies, a remote emergency consultation system was established. To ensure effective emergency care, an emergency telemedicine model must incorporate favorable tools for information transmission, including a user-friendly interface that facilitates real-time and critical medical information exchange and record keeping. The model should also allow for early preparation of the green channel team, ensure that support is at hand for rapid response to a large number of patients, and shorten the waiting time of emergency and critically ill patients for medical treatment. The establishment of the remote emergency consultation system has opened the door to an innovative emergency and critical care model. However, the system functions should be improved on a rolling basis, and continuous staff training is required to familiarize staff with the operation of the system as a routine system. Thus, the system can be used for second opinion consultation and referral assessment for emergency patients in remote hospitals, thereby reducing unnecessary referrals and improving the quality of medical care.

Authors: Fagundes Pamela Pereira , Santos Kátia Gonçalves dos , Maggi Cátia Bauer
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Prevention strategies are key to combating the epidemic of infections such as HIV and syphilis. The epidemiological scenario of Porto Alegre/RS for these infections shows the need for greater efforts in the area of prevention, seeking to characterize both the population that uses these strategies and the services involved in the care of exposed people. Objective: This study aimed to characterize the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients who received post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) to HIV treated in a public hospital in Porto Alegre/RS. Methods: This is a retrospective, research, descriptive study based on the Clinical Protocol and Therapeutic Guidelines for PEP, updated in 2018 by the Ministry of Health. Prophylaxis request forms and medical records of patients treated were analyzed. Results: The population consisted of 87 women who received PEP from January to September 2019. There was a predominance of women aged between 20 and 29 years old (55.2%). The most frequent sexual exposure was consensual (69.0%) followed by sexual assault (31.0%). Porto Alegre was the place of residence of most patients (73.6%). The most frequently used therapeutic regimen was the combination of atazanavir, ritonavir, and tenofovir plus lamivudine. On the first visit, 8.0% of the patients showed reactive results for the treponemal syphilis test. Only 23.0% and 14.9% of patients returned for anti-HIV tests in the first and third months after exposure, respectively, and the results were non-reactive. Only 19 patients (21.8%) attended the consultations between 0 and 28 days after PEP. Conclusion: It was identified that a considerable percentage of women already had reactive serology for syphilis, most women did not return for follow-up within 28 and 90 days after the first consultation, more than half of the women were aged between 20 and 29 years old, and the most frequent sexual exposure was consensual. In this sense, efforts are needed, such as adequate counseling, adoption of interventions such as sending messages by cell phone, telephone calls, and preparation of educational materials, seeking to improve adherence to treatment and follow-up in the service, which is important given the scenario of epidemiology in Porto Alegre.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Increasingly, novice occupational therapists are working in private practice. It is important to understand how to build clinical experience in complex practice areas. Upper limb hypertonicity management is a complex practice area requiring advanced workplace training. This study aimed to identify the teaching and learning processes that assist occupational therapists to acquire this expertise.

Methods: Five hospital occupational therapists received 1.5-3 years of apprentice-style training in a specialist hypertonicity clinic. In-depth semi-structured interviews explored their experience. Qualitative Description was used to analyse the data.

Results: Participants found that knowledge needed to be applied to practice and then revisited in a cyclical way to deepen their understanding and build their clinical skills. They benefited from having responsibilities graded and repeated opportunities for hands-on learning of embodied knowledge. Producing comprehensive progress notes and teaching colleagues and students were useful learning tools. Learning with a group of colleagues involved observation of the expert, intensive correction and guidance, and group discussion, reflection and questioning to build expertise.

Conclusion: Workplaces need to intentionally support novice clinicians to gain expertise in complex practice areas using pedagogically sound training techniques. Continuous workplace training is needed to promote expertise in the face of changing healthcare funding policies.

GIS are an essential element in archaeology. Their use has become widespread for their potential to store, reference, analyse and visualise spatial information. Nonetheless, to the best of our knowledge, a systematic review of academic peer-reviewed publications related to the use of GIS, as a framework, in archaeology has never been presented before. Our goal in this work is to identify what has been published so far in relation to using GIS in archaeology within a small selected sample. We used the PRISMA guideline to perform a systematic review of 671 publications that we identified using the SCOPUS database and the keywords ‘GIS’ and ‘archaeology’. The collected publications were screened, analysed, and categorized into different relevant categories. Our analysis shows that GIS, in our selected sample, are mostly used for visualization and information management tasks. Moreover, spatial analysis studies were more common than other studies, and theoretical publications are scarce. The lack of a theoretical background in GIS may be the cause of some of the problems related to GIS applications in archaeology.

AKURASI SISTEM PENENTUAN AWAL WAKTU SHALAT MENURUT KITAB FATHULLATHÎFRRAHÎM DENGAN SISTEM KONTEMPORER
Authors: Niskaromah Niskaromah , Mutaqqin Faizul
Published: May 2023

The Book of Fathullathîfurrahîm authored by KH Abdul Muhaimain and written by KH Ahmad Gozali Asyiq who was his student. A book of astronomy was taught at the BANY SYAFI'I Islamic boarding school, located in Palas Bendungan, Cilogon District, Banten. The book is as reference for determining the start of prayer times without the help of modern tools such as scientific calculators.

 A scientific culture that is relatively rare in a information technology era but there is still a scientific discipline that is applied very manually. Even though it seems impractical, (of course it is not only seen from a pragmatic point of view), but is appreciated for its scientific value which is the basis for determining the initial digital prayer times which has become a general reference.

As a form of scientific treasure, the existence of the book Fathullathîfurrahîm فتح اللطيف الرحيم should be appreciated. However, comparisons of the provisions based on the book with the technology-based prayer times should also be examined to find out the accuracy. The accuracy of the results will impact harmonization for those who follow the time schedule based on the book and those who use a technology-based prayer time schedule.

This study used a qualitative method with an arithmetic approach using data collection techniques, library research and interviews. Primary data was obtained directly from the Bany Syafi'i Islamic boarding school with reference to the book Fathullathîfurrahîm, while secondary data included all documents in the form of books, books, writings, interview results, papers related to the research object. Analysis technique with inductive analysis, namely from specific facts then abstracted in the form of general conclusions. With descriptive analysis, then compared with other methods to get a systematic, factual, and accurate picture of the phenomenon being investigated. The results of the study show that the reckoning of calculating the start of the prayer time is done manually (not using any tools such as Rubu' Mujayyab) using only the rules from the book Fathullathîfurrahîm. As for the level of accuracy of the initial prayer times in the book with the initial calculation of the contemporary prayer time, the time difference is 0-2 minutes.

Words for Laughing
Authors:   Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Mihaylova Bilyana
Published: May 2023

The article examines the origin of the words denoting ‘laugh’ and ‘laughter’ in the Indo-European languages. The semantic changes are analyzed on the basis of the relation ‘A’ > ‘laugh, laughter’, A being the source meaning. The descendants of a single root with primary meaning ‘laugh’ are spread out in several Indo-European languages: the root *smey-. Expectedly, the most common source of the words for laugh are some primary concepts related to different sounds. Other semantic developments that have been found are from words with primary meaning ‘show one’s teeth, make a grimace’, ‘brilliant, joy’, ‘pleasure’ and ‘burst’, the latter giving also rise to expressions such as English ‘burst in laugh’.

Study objects are dialogues in French and English language learning systems. Studied are techniques of constructing dialogicity in them and the patterns of verbal behaviour recommended in tense, conflictual or apparently calm situations in which the 'ritual equilibrium' between participants is disturbed. This approach provides an opportunity to become familiar with the functioning of different communicative tools used to overcome difficulties in a real environment. The study draws attention to some cultural and interactional specificities of verbal communication that highlight common attitudes and skills of participants as well as communicative intentions and goals in different situations.

Media literacy is one of the key competencies and skills for living and working in the 21st century. Media literacy training is a life-long process, but it is of particular importance that it starts from early childhood, is continued and built on in secondary and higher education with the efforts of all formal and informal institutions and organizations. The research team from the Department of “Media and Public Communications” at the University of National and World Economy has been working on the project dedicated to media literacy training practices in secondary and higher schools in Bulgaria for three years. An important part of the research was the analysis of the results of the survey among teachers, conducted in the period 07.01.2022 – 23.02.2022 via the Microsoft Forms platform, in which 534 respondents participated. The survey showed that teachers understand the importance and significance of media literacy, integrate important related topics in the learning process of various school subjects, but also need to improve their qualifications for teaching media literacy.

Authors:   Trakia University – Stara Zagora, Siderova Desislava , Petkova Diana ,   Trakia University – Stara Zagora
Published: May 2023

The article examines the methodological foundations of courses included in the educational process of students from the bachelor’s and master’s programs in pre-school and primary-school pedagogy at the Faculty of Education of Trakia University – Stara Zagora, Bulgaria. The potential of the proposed learning content, which is oriented towards the communication between literary and musical works through the intermediality, is analyzed by modeling a conceptual construct. The specifics of the derived approaches and options for their interaction in the environment of the kindergarten and the primary school (from integration to synergy) are presented. Emphasis is placed on the mastering of competence by future teachers for the implementation of an educational process with the application of strengthened connections between the cognitive fields of the Bulgarian language, literature and music in order to acquire the key cultural competence.

Averrhoa carambola L. (A. carambola) is particularly well-known for its distinctive star-shaped fruit (Star fruit), cultivated in Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and northern and southern America. Historically, it has been used for a long time to cure many ailments, including vomiting, fever, arthralgia, cough, hypertension, hangovers, chronic paroxysmal headache, hyperglycemia, and diabetic nephropathy. This study aimed to examine its preliminary phytochemical and some biological properties. For this, fresh leaves of A. carambola were extracted (hot and cold) with ethanol, which was then fractionated with n-hexane and chloroform. Following a preliminary investigation of phytochemicals, radical scavenging, membrane stabilizing, alpha-glucosidase inhibitory, and clot lysis effects were evaluated using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, egg albumin model, alpha-amylase assay, and human blood clot lysis assay, respectively using suitable reference standards. The results suggest that A. carambola contains alkaloids, glycosides, steroids, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, and reducing sugars. All the organic fractions demonstrated significant (p <0.05) radical scavenging, membrane stabilizing, alpha-glucosidase inhibitory, and clot lysis activities in a concentration-dependent approach. Except for DPPH radical scavenging, the ethanol fraction showed better activities than the n-hexane and chloroform fractions. In summary, A. carambola might be a potential source of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, and atherothrombolytic agents. Further studies are required to isolate, characterize, and establish molecular mechanisms for each component’s biological effects.
Working with a reflective system within the SECURE STAIRS framework for integrated care: An evaluation of reflective practice sessions within the children & young people secure estate

The SECURE STAIRS Framework for Integrated Care (NHS England, 2016; Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, 2022) was developed by NHS England to promote a trauma-informed, evidence-based and whole system approach to children and young people accommodated in the Secure Estate. These settings accommodate children and young people presenting with high risk, high harm and high vulnerability presentations that cannot be kept safe in the community. Reflective practice sessions were facilitated over a twelve-month period for residential staff, physical health staff and management working within a Secure Children’s Home in the North of England. A pre and post questionnaire evaluation method was utilised to analyse the results. The evaluation indicated significant improvements in participant’s confidence in their practice and communication with colleagues and children and young people; ability to be reflective with others both during and after an interaction; levels of stress when interacting with children and young people; and uncertainty within their practice. However, decreases were observed in participants ability to appraise their practice and desire for improvement within their practice. The authors critically review the results of the evaluation and highlight the ongoing need for reflective spaces for staff caring for children and young people with complex needs within the Secure Estate.
Rescue from Coloniality? The Power of Dreaming
Authors: Khalifa Muhammad , Abdi Nimo M.
Published: May 2023

In this essay, the authors reflect on the context and promise of Codesign and Theories of Change (TOC). Throughout my (MK) academic career, the Codesign work undertaken by the Family Leadership Design Collaborative (FLDC) has been one of the most inspirational, humanizing, and anti-colonial academic projects in which they have engaged or witnessed. The conveners, two women of Indigenous/Italian and Asian American descent, honored and humanized the knowledges and voices of all those who contributed to the Codesign – parents, community leaders and advocates, researchers, school leaders, and students. This is unusual in Western educational spaces that sit on colonial histories. The activities in the Codesign were designed to foster thinking and research outside of traditional educational structures and histories. This type of Codesign is also unusual in that it represents a break from the school-centric past in which people in the US typically confine themselves to dreaming within the educational histories and technologies.
