BACKGROUND:

Patient satisfaction is a paramount measure of the quality of healthcare system, particularly in the practice of family medicine. The study aimed to assess patients’ satisfaction with services provided by family physicians (FPs) at Comprehensive Healthcare Centers (CHCCs) in Northern Jordan.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A cross-sectional study was conducted at 11 CHCCs in Northern Jordan between July and October 2023. A convenient sample of 367 patients, both males and females over the age of 18 years, was selected. Participants were requested to complete the Arabic version of the Consultation Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ). Mean and standard deviation calculated for continuous variables, and frequencies and percentages for categorical variables. Multivariable logistic regression analysis yielded factors related to patients’ satisfaction with family physician.

RESULTS:

The mean score of patients’ satisfaction was 55.63 ± 12.15. The highest mean satisfaction scores were reported for the “professional care” provided by the FP (72.41 ± 15.9), followed by the “depth of relationship and the length of consultation” with the FP, respectively. Patients who had a reference health center if needed (P < 0.002), had health insurance (P < 0.05), patient’s privacy (P < 0.027), and waiting time < 20 min to see the FP (P < 0.001) were all positively associated with the status of patients’ satisfaction. Logistic regression final model included only two factors, waiting time < 20 minutes and having a reference health center.

CONCLUSION:

The study reveals moderate patient satisfaction with care provided by FP. The moderate satisfaction is attributed to good care provided by FP and the least to the length of consultation. The predictors of satisfaction are the waiting time to see FP and the availability of a reference health center. Study has implications for the health care system in Jordan, as regards the strengthening of the health information system to incorporate policies on appointments, quality of consultation times, and waiting times.
Aquagenic wrinkling of the palms: A report of two cases from a family medicine setting in Eastern Saudi Arabia and literature review
Authors: Alsoweilem Maryam K. , Alsheikh Rasha H.
Published: January 2025

Aquagenic wrinkling of the palms (AWP) is a rare transient dermatological disorder, characterized by an extreme and early wrinkling and pruning of the palms that occurs within a few minutes of exposure to water. Greater awareness of AWP is needed since the vast majority of AWP cases are linked with cystic fibrosis (CF) and CF carrier state. Initial assessment of AWP cases can be done in a primary care setting. A comprehensive medical history and physical examination should be done upon the diagnosis of AWP with additional investigations based on patients’ presentation. We report two cases of AWP diagnosed at a family medicine center in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The first case was related to the use of ibuprofen and discounting this medication led to a marked improvement in the patient’s symptoms. The second case was related to primary palmar hyperhidrosis that was managed successfully with topical 20% aluminum chloride.

Amyloid-beta clearance plays a key role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. However, the variation in functional proteins involved in amyloid-beta clearance and their correlation with amyloid-beta levels remain unclear. In this study, we conducted meta-analyses and a systematic review using studies from the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases, including journal articles published from inception to June 30, 2023. The inclusion criteria included studies comparing the levels of functional proteins associated with amyloid-beta clearance in the blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and brain of healthy controls, patients with mild cognitive impairment, and patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Additionally, we analyzed the correlation between these functional proteins and amyloid-beta levels in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed via the Newcastle‒Ottawa Scale. Owing to heterogeneity, we utilized either a fixed-effect or random-effect model to assess the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the standard mean difference (SMD) among healthy controls, patients with mild cognitive impairment, and patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The findings revealed significant alterations in the levels of insulin-degrading enzymes, neprilysin, matrix metalloproteinase-9, cathepsin D, receptor for advanced glycation end products, and P-glycoprotein in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease, patients with mild cognitive impairment, and healthy controls. In cerebrospinal fluid, the levels of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 and ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1 are altered, whereas the levels of TREM2, CD40, CD40L, CD14, CD22, cathepsin D, cystatin C, and α2 M in peripheral blood differ. Notably, TREM2 and cathepsin D showed changes in both brain (SMD = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.16–0.47, P < 0.001, I
2 = 78.4%; SMD = 1.24, 95% CI: 0.01–2.48, P = 0.048, I
2 = 90.1%) and peripheral blood (SMD = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.35–1.66, P = 0.003, I
2 = 96.5%; SMD = 7.55, 95% CI: 3.92–11.18, P < 0.001, I
2 = 98.2%) samples. Furthermore, correlations were observed between amyloid-beta levels and the levels of TREM2 (r = 0.16, 95% CI: 0.04–0.28, P = 0.009, I
2 = 74.7%), neprilysin (r = –0.47, 95% CI: –0.80–0.14, P = 0.005, I
2 = 76.1%), and P-glycoprotein (r = –0.31, 95% CI: –0.51–0.11, P = 0.002, I
2 = 0.0%) in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. These findings suggest that triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 and cathepsin D could serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease, whereas triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2, neprilysin, and P-glycoprotein may represent potential therapeutic targets.
O imaginaci českých rozvojových inženýrů
Authors: Werner Jan
Published: January 2025

On the imagination of Czech development engineers. When it comes to designing buildings, the architects‘ or civil engineers‘ imagination plays an irreplaceable role. However, it remains a relatively unexplored topic in contemporary anthropology. In this study, I focus on the mobilization of imagination in the context of Czech development engineering, as taught and practised in the broader engineering community centred around the International Centre for Development Projects of the Czech Technical University. Here, imagination allows development civil engineers to replace elements to which they lack access while working on their designs (be it the development needs and characteristics of the target locality or its residents). At the same time, it allows them to test their solutions beforehand by means of thought experiments. Nevertheless, the broad use of imagination within the design process comes at a cost. While development constructions aspire to remain grounded in the local architectural tradition, the overuse of imagination might render such “tradition” a hollow concept. Replacing the local with the imaginary at the designing stage also leads to problems with the subsequent acceptance of the designs by the locals. However, most importantly, by reproducing and widening the divide between donors and recipients, an insufficiently critical deployment of imagination may undermine the main principles which underpin contemporary development engineering.

Zinc (Zn) is essential for various enzymatic, ionic, and metabolic processes, particularly during seed germination. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of different zinc soaking solutions on the germination and early growth of wheat seeds. A field experiment was laid out at the Soil fertility research institute Tandojam. Randomized complete block design was used with plot sizes of 4 × 5 meters (20 m²), and included four treatments: T1 - distilled water (control), T2 - 2% zinc sulfate, T3 - 2% zinc nitrate and T4 - 2% zinc chelate each treatment was replicated three time. The seed germination percentage, root length, number of seeds germinated plot-1, speed of emergence, seed vigor index, and number of leaves plant-1 were observed. Results indicated that zinc treatments significantly enhanced seed germination and seedling growth compared to the control. Seeds treated with zinc sulfate (T2) exhibited the highest germination rate at 89%, the longest root length averaging 2.0 cm, the highest seed vigor index, emergence and maximum 5 number of leaves plant-1. Zinc chelate (T4) followed closely with an 87% germination rate, root length of 1.9 cm and 5 number of leaves plant-1. Zinc nitrate (T3) showed a germination rate of 85% with an average root length of 1.7 cm and 4 number of leaves plant-1 whereas the control (T1) had the lowest values in all parameters as compared to zinc soaking treatments. These findings underscore the significant benefits of zinc supplementation, particularly with zinc sulfate and zinc chelate, in improving wheat seed germination, root development, and overall seedling vigor, thereby potentially enhancing crop productivity.

Published: January 2025

The northern zone of the region of Lima, which includes the provinces of Huaral, Huaura Barranca, Cajatmbo and Oyón with a production of milk estimated at 50,000 kilograms per day, provides this input of about 80% in volume for the production of fresh and ripened cheeses; with a daily production of approximately 10,000 kilos of fresh cheese and 2000 kilos for matured cheeses, with a minimum variability in flavours and textures. The objectives of this work were to determine the production volumes under the various technologies used, identify the marketing chains and their forms of consumption. The research was exploratory and descriptive, with the source being statistical reports from national and international institutions. It was found that 60% of local cheese production is artisanal and is carried out by SMEs engaged in milk processing, with 70% in fresh cheese and 30% in matured cheese, resulting in little added value and differentiation, The European Commission has published a report on the European Union’s research and development policy in the field of education. As a conclusion, it is estimated that at the end of 2024 the production was approximately 130,000 tons of cheese nationally and at the regional level of the area under study, around 5,000 tons. The forms of production are low, intermediate and high technologies.  The marketing chains are indirect and with few intermediaries. The consumption of cheeses is fresh, matured, pre-cooked and cooked, being the factors incident, consumption habits, technology, price, quality, variety, marketing channels and marketing strategies. Finally, proposals for agribusiness in the northern region of Lima are planned so that cheese in the next 10 years will be affordable, accessible and profitable.

Published: January 2025

The speedy growth of artificial intelligence (AI) presents both unprecedented chances for the librarians. The aim of this study is to investigate the awareness, adoption and utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) by librarians for effective service delivery in university libraries in Benue State Nigeria. The study raised four research objectives as well as four research questions to guide the study. A descriptive survey design was used. The population of the study was 128 librarians from 5 universities in Benue State. a census technique was adopted. A self-developed questionnaire was used to elicit responses from the respondents, and a simple percentage was adapted for data analysis. The result showed that there was little awareness, adoption and utilization of artificial intelligence in university libraries in Benue State, Nigeria. The findings revealed that AI has received minimal attention in university libraries in Benue State. The result of the study also indicate that obstacles to awareness, adoption and utilization of AI include significant disruption caused by artificial intelligence in traditional library services, lack of skills and a need for training of librarians prior to giving awareness, adoption and utilization of artificial intelligence, irregular power supply, and lack of adequate infrastructure for adoption and utilization among other problems. The study recommended the need to organize training for librarians to enhance their skills in using artificial intelligence to provide effective service delivery, and the university administration and libraries should commit and provide every necessary support for the awareness, adoption and utilization of artificial intelligence by way of providing the needed infrastructure and tools to ensure a rapid implementation and usage.

Authors: Hamzat Saheed Abiola , Fadare Christianah Damilola
Published: January 2025

Digital reference tools are various mechanisms employed to facilitate access to electronic-based information resources in diverse disciplines. Despite having DR tools in place, literature reported that Nigerian postgraduate students (law students inclusive) are lagging behind in the use of the tools due to factors related to poor awareness, attitude, perception with no emphasis on facilitating conditions. It is in the light of this that this study investigated facilitating conditions and use of digital reference tools by law postgraduate students in selected Nigerian Universities. The study adopted a descriptive survey design with the population of 588 law postgraduate students in three selected Nigerian Universities (University of Ibadan, Obafemi Awolowo University and University of Lagos). The reliability co-efficient of the instrument scale were DRT use (α=0.88) and Facilitating conditions (α=0.78) and were validated using Cronbach alpha method. Total enumeration technique was used to cover all of them. Of all the 588 copies of the questionnaire administered, 419 copies (71.3% response rate), were used for analysis. Findings revealed that most of the law postgraduate students identified social media platforms (WhatsApp, Facebook) (401, 95.7%); e-mail (287, 68.5%) and web form (219, 52.3) as the main DR tools available for use. There was low frequency of usage of DRT ( ̅ ) and facilitating conditions ( ̅ ) were found to be below the threshold. The facilitating conditions ( significantly influenced DRT use. The study recommended that selected Nigerian universities can better support the diverse research and academic needs of law postgraduate students by ultimately providing more robust infrastructural facilities such as postgraduate research rooms with Internet connectivity to enhance access to the available information resources to meet their needs.

Published: January 2025

Given the socio-cultural and legal challenges faced by LGBTQ individuals in Nigeria, access to relevant, unbiased, and inclusive information is a challenge for them. This study explores librarians’ perception of the information needs of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) community in Nigeria. The research objectives were; to examine the level of familiarity of librarians with LGBTQ terms and to investigate their attitudes, and willingness to meet the information needs of LGBTQ individuals. Using survey research design, the study gathered data by means of a closed-ended questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics of frequency count and mean. The population of the study was the 8230 professional librarians as certified by the Librarians’ Registration Council (LRCN) spread across the six (6) geopolitical zones in Nigeria. Using Krejcie and Morgan's 1970 formula for determining sample size, a sample of 415 librarians was used for the study by way of multistage sampling. Findings showed that librarians in Nigeria are familiar with the terms related to LGBTQ people and that librarians are not favourable disposed to this group of people. It was recommended that the LRCN should revisit the professional code of ethics and conducts for librarians in Nigeria with the aim of clearly stating the position of the profession on attending to the information needs of LGBTQ and emphasized adherence to professional code of ethics and conduct.
Between Conflict and Kinship: Understanding the Social Identity of Bangsamoro Orphans in Maguindanao and North Cotabato Province
Authors: Abadi Mansurni , Wulandari Wulandari
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The persistent conflict in the Bangsamoro area, located in the southern Philippines, has markedly affected numerous individuals, particularly the offspring of deceased mujahideen fighters. This study delves into the configuration of social identity among orphans of Bangsamoro mujahideen, exploring their navigation of belonging within a community characterized by enduring conflict and radicalization. Rooted in historical grievances, socio-political marginalization, and the pursuit of self-determination, the Bangsamoro conflict has spawned radical groups that further complicate the societal dynamics within the region. Employing a qualitative methodology, this research integrates in-depth interviews, participant observations, and analysis of local narratives to comprehend the construction of social identities among these orphans. The study investigates the impacts of family, community, and radical ideologies on their identity formation and how they reconcile their orphanhood with the necessity for belonging in a fractured society. The findings expose the identity struggles faced by orphans of Bangsamoro mujahideen, as they navigate between victimhood and the glorification of their parents' legacies. Radicalization and the pervasive conflict environment significantly influence their perceptions of self and others, often leading to the embracement of ideologies that resonate with their experiences of loss and marginalization. The study concludes that the social identity of these orphans is a multifaceted interplay of personal experiences, community influences, and broader socio-political contexts. It underscores the critical need for targeted interventions to address the psychological and social needs of these children, thereby averting further radicalization and fostering a more inclusive sense of belonging in the Bangsamoro region.

This study shows an extensive analysis of dynamic stall on wind turbine airfoils, preparing for the development of a reduced-order model applicable to thick airfoils (t/c>0.21) in the future. Utilizing unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) simulations of a pitching FFA-W3-211 airfoil with a Reynolds number of 15 × 106, our analysis identifies the distinct phases in the course of the evolution of dynamic stall. While the dynamic stall is conventionally categorized into the primary-instability transitioning to the vortex formation stage, we suggest two sub-categories for the first phase and an intermediate stage featuring a plateau in lift prior to entering the full stall region. This delays the inception of deep stall, approximately 3° for a simulation case. This is not predictable with existing dynamic-stall models, which are optimized for applications with a low Reynolds number. These features are attributed to the enhanced flow attachment near the leading edge, restricting the stall region downstream of the position of maximum thickness. The analysis of the frequency spectra of unsteady pressure confirms the distinct characteristics of the leading-edge vortex street and its interaction with large-scale mid-chord vortices in forming the dynamic-stall vortices (DSVs). Examination of the leading-edge suction parameter (LESP) proposed by Ramesh et al. (2014) for thin airfoils with low Reynolds numbers reveals that the LESP is a valid criterion in predicting the onset of the stall for thick airfoils with high Reynolds numbers. Based on the localized separation behavior during a dynamic-stall cycle, we suggest a mid-chord suction parameter (MCSP) and trailing-edge suction parameter (TESP) as supplementary criteria for the identification of each stage. The MCSP exhibits a breakdown in magnitude at the onset of the dynamic-stall formation stage and full stall, while the TESP supports indicating the emergence of a full stall by detecting the trailing-edge vortex.
American Indian Women: Telling Their Lives
Authors: Bataille Gretchen , Mullen Sands Kathleen
Published: January 2025

Indian women's autobiographies have been slighted because of the assumption that women had a secondary and insignificant role in Indian society. Gretchen M. Bataille and Kathleen Mullen Sands cogently demonstrate in this book the creative vitality of autobiographies that, despite differences in style and purpose, clarify the centrality of women in American Indian cultures. Included is a comprehensive, annotated bibliography or works by and about American Indian women.
Washakie, Chief of the Shoshones
Authors: Hebard Grace
Published: January 2025

Washakie was chief of the eastern band of the Shoshone Indians for almost sixty years, until his death in 1900. A strong leader of his own people, he saw the wisdom of befriending the whites. Grace Raymond Hebard offers an engaging view of Washakie’s long life and the early history of Shoshone-occupied land—embracing present-day Wyoming and parts of Montana, Idaho, and Utah. Washakie is seen signing historic treaties, aiding overland emigrants in the 1850s, and finally assisting whites in fighting the Sioux. According to Hebard, Washakie’s role in the battle on the Rosebud in June 1876 saved General Crook from the fate that befell General Custer eight days later on the Little Big Horn.
The Blind Man and the Loon:	The Story of a Tale
Authors: Mishler Craig
Published: January 2025

The story of the Blind Man and the Loon is a living Native folktale about a blind man who is betrayed by his mother or wife but whose vision is magically restored by a kind loon. Variations of this tale are told by Native storytellers all across Alaska, arctic Canada, Greenland, the Northwest Coast, and even into the Great Basin and the Great Plains. As the story has traveled through cultures and ecosystems over many centuries, individual storytellers have added cultural and local ecological details to the tale, creating countless variations.

In The Blind Man and the Loon: The Story of a Tale, folklorist Craig Mishler goes back to 1827, tracing the story’s emergence across Greenland and North America in manuscripts, books, and in the visual arts and other media such as film, music, and dance theater. Examining and comparing the story’s variants and permutations across cultures in detail, Mishler brings the individual storyteller into his analysis of how the tale changed over time, considering how storytellers and the oral tradition function within various societies. Two maps unequivocally demonstrate the routes the story has traveled. The result is a masterful compilation and analysis of Native oral traditions that sheds light on how folktales spread and are adapted by widely diverse cultures.

Infecções fúngicas são muitas vezes negligenciados e podem apresentar uma variedade de manifestações clínicas. As micoses sistêmicas são consideradas um problema de saúde pública, a exemplo da paracoccidioidomicose, a criptococose, a coccidiodomicose e a histoplasmose que estão presentes no Maranhão. Este trabalho tem o objetivo avaliar casos de internações por micoses de crianças de 1 a 4 anos nos municípios do Maranhão nos anos de 2013 a 2023. A sua metodologia consiste em um estudo epidemiológico transversal com base em levantamento de dados pelo Departamento de Informática do Sistema de Saúde (DATASUS), em 65 cidades do Maranhão. Nos dez anos analisados, houve um total de 609 casos no Maranhão, sendo, das 65 cidades listadas, apenas 32 apresentam mais de um caso registrados enquanto as 33 restantes apresentam apenas um caso. Estudos epidemiológicos, como este, permitem uma dimensão maior de determinado grupo de doenças para o estabelecimento de estratégias de saúde.

O uso excessivo de antibióticos nas últimas décadas resultou em um aumento alarmante da resistência antimicrobiana, representando um desafio significativo para a medicina moderna. Nesse contexto, a busca por alternativas eficazes torna-se urgente, especialmente em relação ao desenvolvimento de novos agentes antimicrobianos. Os óleos essenciais, em particular os cítricos, emergem como promissoras opções terapêuticas. Extraídos de frutas como limão e laranja, esses óleos são ricos em compostos bioativos, como limoneno e citral, que demonstram propriedades antimicrobianas contra uma ampla gama de patógenos, incluindo bactérias e fungos. Este trabalho revisa a literatura existente sobre os óleos essenciais cítricos, abordando suas propriedades, mecanismos de ação e possíveis aplicações na prática clínica. Além de suas atividades antimicrobianas, esses óleos apresentam vantagens significativas, como a redução do risco de efeitos adversos e a diminuição da resistência em comparação com antibióticos sintéticos. A exploração dos óleos essenciais cítricos não só oferece uma resposta à crise da resistência antimicrobiana, mas também promove uma abordagem mais sustentável e inovadora no combate a infecções. A pesquisa contínua sobre essas substâncias naturais é essencial para ampliar o arsenal terapêutico e contribuir para a saúde pública.

A percepção ambiental refere-se à consciência do ambiente em que o ser humano vive, refletindo a capacidade de perceber, cuidar e proteger o espaço ao redor. Por isso esse trabalho objetiva avaliar a qualidade de vida e a percepção ambiental de moradores de dois bairros de São Luís-MA. Este é um estudo analítico transversal com amostra não probabilística. A coleta de dados foi realizada em julho nos bairros Vinhais e Turu (Miritiua), por meio de questionários sociodemográficos, o SF-12 para avaliar a qualidade de vida e a escala NEWS para medir a percepção ambiental. A análise foi feita usando o SPSS 18.0, com correlação de Spearman para verificar a relação entre qualidade de vida e percepção ambiental. A amostra incluiu 100 mora- dores (54 mulheres e 46 homens), com média de idade de 48,6 anos. A maioria tinha nível superior (41%), eram casados (48%) e possuíam rendimento de um salário-mínimo (61%). Quanto à qualidade de vida, 61% relataram boa percepção de saúde. O escore médio da dimensão física foi 42,64 e da dimensão mental 33,86. A análise revelou uma correlação significativa entre a percepção ambiental de lazer e o domínio mental da qualidade de vida. Os resultados sugerem que os escores físicos e mentais da qualidade de vida são abaixo de 100, indicando uma qualidade de vida inferior. A única correlação estatisticamente significativa foi entre a percepção de lazer ambiental e a saúde mental dos moradores.
Male-centric Soliloquy in a World of Desire: On Body Writing in Herzog from a Perspective of Corporeal Narratology
Authors: Yang Jinsi
Published: January 2025

In Herzog, one of Saul Bellows most renowned works, the theme of the body plays a central and significant role, serving as a powerful symbol throughout the narrative. The text not only offers a detailed portrayal of the protagonist, Herzogs physicality, but it also delves into the bodies of various secondary characters, thereby enhancing the novels complexity. From the standpoint of corporeal narratology, this analysis draws primarily from Peter Brookss theory of body narrative dynamics to explore the intricate role that the body assumes within the storyline. By examining how the body is woven into the fabric of the narrative, the paper argues that its representation serves to carry profound meanings and implications. Through vivid and often sexualized portrayals of the body, Bellow constructs a phallocentric universe, in which Herzogs own physical presence becomes a symbol of the uniformity between sexual desire, cognitive obsession, and voyeuristic tendencies, all of which serve to propel the narrative forward. Meanwhile, Madeleines body is strategically portrayed as a Medusa-like object of intense desire, symbolizing both Herzogs deep yearning and his underlying fear of emasculation, effectively embodying his psychological anxieties.
The Relationship Between Employee Satisfaction and Public Organization Performance: An Analysis from the Perspective of Policy Design
Authors: Zhang Xinyu
Published: January 2025

Satisfaction is an essential element of organizational success especially in public institutions where achievement is tied to public services provided, not just economic benefit. We study how employee satisfaction affects company performance and how policy design can encourage or discourage it. Using mixed methods, both quantitative surveys and qualitative case studies, this study surveys a broad set of public agencies to discover the main satisfaction drivers. It found that open compensation, opportunities for professional development, and positive work culture all help to enhance employee engagement and efficiency. The City of Melbourne, the UKs National Health Service (NHS) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) further illustrate the effects of participatory policymaking, flexible working and customised capacity-building programmes on employee satisfaction, productivity and public trust. The research highlights the importance of a well-designed policy to connecting employee expectations with organisational priorities, and ultimately contributing to personal wellbeing and institutional performance.
