Clinical Characteristics, Risk Classification System, and Web-Based Nomograms for Young and Middle-Aged Patients (Aged Under 50) with Metastatic Cervical Cancer: Based on Seer Database
Authors: Xiang Yunfei , Zhao Miao , Wang Fei , Ling Xiaoling
Published: February 2023

Background: Currently, there is a lack of systematic research
on the prognostic variables of metastatic cervical cancer (mCEC) among
young and middle-aged females. Therefore, this research is purposed to
identify the independent prognostic markers in mCEC patients
(< 50 years of age) and to develop the nomograms applicable to
predict their prognosis. Materials and Methods: The data on
patients pathologically proven to have cervical cancer between 2004 and
2015 were collected from the American detection, epidemiology, and
results (SEER) database. Then, univariate and multivariate cox analyses
were conducted to determine independent prognostic variables. On this
basis, nomograms were constructed to predict the 12-, 24-, and 36-month
overall survival (OS) of mCEC patients aged under 50. The model was
evaluated for predictive accuracy, discriminant ability, and clinical
value through the receiver operating characteristic curve, the
calibration curve and the decision-making curve analysis. Additionally,
a survival calculator based on nomogram and network was developed.
Results: A total of 616 mCEC patients aged under 50 were
involved in the research. They were divided into a training set (419)
and a validation set (176), at a ratio of 7:3. The independent
predictive markers include race, tumour size, T stage, chemotherapy,
radiotherapy, and surgery. According ot the analysis of the calibration
curve, receiver operating characteristic curve, and decision curve
plotted for both the training and validation cohorts, the NOMOGRAMS was
highly discriminative and applicable clinically. The AUC value at 12,
24, and 36 months was 0.741, 0.739, and 0.731 in the training set, and
0.760, 0.695, and 0.696 in the validation set, respectively. The
nomograms proposed in this paper can be accessed via the link:
[https://shubei11.shinyapps.io/Youngcervicalnomogram/.](https://shubei11.shinyapps.io/Youngcervicalnomogram/.)
In addition, a method novel risk categorization was developed to
categorise all patients into three groups depending on their prognosis.
Conclusions: In this study, a unique web-based nomogram is
developed to estimate the risk of OS among the young and middle-aged
mCEC patients (< 50), which would be beneficial for clinicians
to personalise both survival evaluation and therapeutic treatment for
patients.
Generating functions for series involving higher powers of inverse binomial coefficients and their applications
Authors: SIMSEK YILMAZ
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this paper is to construct generating functions in terms
of hypergeometric function and logarithm function for finite and
infinite sums involving higher powers of inverse binomial coefficients.
These generating functions provide a novel way of examining higher
powers of inverse binomial coefficients from the perspective of these
sums, assessing how several of these sums and these coefficients related
to each other. A unique relation between the Euler-Frobenius polynomial
and B-spline associated with exponential Euler spline is reported.
Moreover, with the aid of derivative operator and functional equations
for generating functions, many new computational formulas involving the
special finite sums of higher powers of (inverse) binomial coefficients,
the Bernoulli polynomials and numbers, Euler polynomials and numbers,
the Stirling numbers, the harmonic numbers, and finite sums are derived.
Moreover, A few recurrence relations containing these particular finite
sums are given. Using these recurence relations, we give a solution of
the problem which was given by Charalambides7, Exercise 30, p. 273. We
give calculations algorithms for these finite sums. Applying these
algorithms and Wolfram Mathematica 12.0, we give some plots and many
values of these polynomials and finite sums.
THE EXTREMALITY OF DISORDERED PHASES FOR THE MIXED SPIN-(1,1/2) ISING MODEL ON CAYLEY TREE OF ARBITRARY ORDER
Authors: AKIN HASAN , Mukhamedov Farrukh
Published: February 2023

The aim of this paper is to continue the investigation into the set of
translation-invariant splitting Gibbs measures (TISGMs) for Ising model
having the mixed spin (1,1/2) (shortly, (1,1/2)-MSIM) on a Cayley tree
of arbitrary order. In our previous work [Akın and Mukhamedov, J.
Stat. Mech. (2022) 053204], we provided a thorough explanation of the
TISGMs, and studied the extremality of disordered phases using a Markov
chain with a tree index on a semi-finite Cayley tree with order two. In
this paper, we construct the TISGMs and tree-indexed Markov chains
associated with to the model. Considering a tree-indexed Markov chain on
a Cayley tree of any order, we clarify the extremality of the related
disordered phases. By using the Kesten-Stigum condition (KSC), we
investigate non-extremality of the disordered phases by means of the
eigenvalues of the stochastic matrix associated with (1,1/2)-MSIM on a
CT of order k≥2.

Ordering of k-uniform hypertrees by their distance spectral radii
Authors: Liu Xiangxiang , Wang Ligong , Li Xihe
Published: February 2023

The distance spectral radius of a connected hypergraph is the largest
eigenvalue of its distance matrix. In this paper we present a new
transformation that decreases distance spectral radius. As applications, if
? ? ?m+1 2?, we determine the unique k-uniform hypertree of fixed m edges
and maximum degree ? with the minimumdistance spectral radius. And we
characterize the k-uniform hypertrees on m edges with the fourth, fifth, and
sixth smallest distance spectral radius. In addition, we obtain the
k-uniform hypertree on m edges with the third largest distance spectral
radius.
The Radical-Zariski topology on the radical spectrum of modules
Authors: Moghimi Hosein , Harehdashti Javad
Published: February 2023

For a module M over a commutative ring R with identity, let RSpec(M) denote
the collection of all submodules L of Msuch that ?(L:M) is a prime ideal
of R and is equal to (rad L:M). In this article, we topologies RSpec(M)
with a topology which enjoys analogs of many of the properties of the
Zariski topology on the prime spectrum Spec(M) (as a subspace topology). We
investigate this topological space from the point of view of spectral spaces
by establishing interrelations between RSpec(M) and Spec(R/Ann(M)).
An extension of Hirano inverses in Banach algebras
Authors: Ghaffari Ali , Haddadi Tahere , Abdolyousefi Marjan
Published: February 2023

We introduce a new class of generalized inverse which is called ??Hirano
inverse. In this paper some elementary properties of the ??Hirano inverse
are obtained. We prove that a ? A is ??Hirano invertible if and only if a ?
an+1 is nilpotent for some positive integer n. Certain multiplicative and
additive results for the ??Hirano inverse in a Banach algebra are presented.
We then apply these new results to block operator matrices over Banach
spaces.

Published: February 2023

In this paper, using Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative, we obtain some
new results for the existence and uniqueness of solutions of differential
equation with nonlocal initial value about fractional order 0 < ? < 1 .
These results are applied with the help of Arzela-Ascoli theorem and
Schauder fixed point. Also based on some ?-contractive maps for such
problems, some new unique theorem has been introduced and proved. Finally,
some illustrative example is considered to show the effectiveness of the
results.

Association between arch width changes and long-term stability 20 years after orthodontic treatment with and without extractions
Authors: Perkovic Vjera , Alexander Moody , Greer Preston , Kamenar Ervin , Anic-Milosevic Sandra
Published: February 2023

Objectives

To investigate long-term stability 20 years after orthodontic treatment and the association with arch width changes during treatment.

Materials and Methods

This retrospective study investigated 103 patients with Class I and II malocclusions treated with fixed appliances with and without extractions. The sample was treated by one experienced orthodontist and collected from a private orthodontic office. Dental casts were obtained pretreatment (T1), posttreatment (T2), and long-term postretention (T3); they were scanned and converted to STL files. Measurements were evaluated in for the upper and lower arch: intercanine width (IC), intermolar (IM) width, Little's irregularity index (LII).

Results

There were 73 female and 30 male patients. Class I was present in 74 patients and Class II in 29. Average postretention time was 17.2 (±6.5) years after an average active retention time of 3.4 (±1.17) years. Extraction was performed in 55 patients while 48 received nonextraction treatment. Bonferroni Post Hoc test showed that LII in the upper and lower arches at T1 was significantly higher in the extraction group (P < .001). Upper and lower arch LII at T3 was slightly higher in extraction cases but remained under 2.05 mm. LII at T3 in the upper and lower arches showed negative correlation with IM T3 in the upper arch (Pearson, N = 103, P = .047), while IC in the upper and lower arches at T3 correlated with IM T3 in the upper and lower (N = 103, P < .001).

Conclusions

Clinically relevant long-term stability in both arches was found in extraction and nonextraction cases. Intermolar width and its change during orthodontic treatment was an influential factor on long-term stability in extraction cases.
The Impact of Different Implantation Sites and Sex on the Differentiation of Human Pancreatic Endoderm Cells Into Insulin-Secreting Cells In Vivo
Authors: Saber Nelly , Ellis Cara E. , Iworima Diepiriye G. , Baker Robert K. , Rezania Alireza , Kieffer Timothy J.
Published: February 2023

Few studies have examined the differentiation of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)–derived pancreatic endoderm cells (PECs) in different implantation sites. Here, we investigate the influence of implantation site and recipient sex on the differentiation of hESC-derived PECs in vivo. Male and female mice were implanted with 5 × 106 hESC-derived PECs under the kidney capsule, in the gonadal fat pad, or subcutaneously within macroencapsulation (TheraCyte) devices. PECs implanted within TheraCyte devices developed glucose-stimulated human C-peptide secretion faster than cells implanted under the kidney capsule or in the gonadal fat pad. Interestingly, hESC-derived PECs implanted under the kidney capsule in females developed glucose-stimulated human C-peptide faster than in males and secreted higher levels of arginine-stimulated glucagon and glucagon-like peptide 1 than other implantation sites. Furthermore, hESC-derived grafts collected from the kidney capsule and gonadal fat pad sites displayed a mix of endocrine and ductal cells as well as contained cysts, whereas TheraCyte device grafts displayed mostly endocrine cells and cysts were not observed. Here we demonstrate that the macroencapsulated subcutaneous site and the female recipient can promote faster differentiation of hESC-derived PECs to endocrine cells in mice.

Article Highlights

Few studies have directly compared the differentiation of human embryonic stem cell–derived progenitors in different implantation sites in male and female recipients. We investigated whether the site of implantation and/or the sex of the recipient influenced the differentiation of pancreatic progenitors in vivo in mice. Mice implanted with cells in macroencapsulation devices contained fewer off-target structures and developed stimulated insulin release faster than other implant sites, while females implanted with cells under the kidney capsule developed stimulated insulin release before males. Macroencapsulation devices reduced the formation of off-target cells from human embryonic stem cell–derived progenitors, a useful characteristic for clinical applications.

Published: February 2023

OBJECTIVE

Automated algorithms to identify individuals with type 1 diabetes using electronic health records are increasingly used in biomedical research. It is not known whether the accuracy of these algorithms differs by self-reported race. We investigated whether polygenic scores improve identification of individuals with type 1 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We investigated two large hospital-based biobanks (Mass General Brigham [MGB] and BioMe) and identified individuals with type 1 diabetes using an established automated algorithm. We performed medical record reviews to validate the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. We implemented two published polygenic scores for type 1 diabetes (developed in individuals of European or African ancestry). We assessed the classification algorithm before and after incorporating polygenic scores.

RESULTS

The automated algorithm was more likely to incorrectly assign a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in self-reported non-White individuals than in self-reported White individuals (odds ratio 3.45; 95% CI 1.54–7.69; P = 0.0026). After incorporating polygenic scores into the MGB Biobank, the positive predictive value of the type 1 diabetes algorithm increased from 70 to 97% for self-reported White individuals (meaning that 97% of those predicted to have type 1 diabetes indeed had type 1 diabetes) and from 53 to 100% for self-reported non-White individuals. Similar results were found in BioMe.

CONCLUSIONS

Automated phenotyping algorithms may exacerbate health disparities because of an increased risk of misclassification of individuals from underrepresented populations. Polygenic scores may be used to improve the performance of phenotyping algorithms and potentially reduce this disparity.
BEYOND THE MYTH: Screenwriting Approaches to Biographical Films
Authors:   , Davies Nicholas
Published: February 2023

This PhD submission comprises an original screenplay on the relationship between African American activist Paul Robeson and the mining community of south Wales titled Robeson: They Can’t Stop Us Singing, and the accompanying exegesis. The aim is to explore, by academic study (gnosis) and creative practice (praxis), the previously overlooked field of writing biographical films, or biopics, and to acknowledge the role of the screenwriter in telling a person’s life story on film. The script is the experiment; the exegesis is the analysis and methodology. The role of the screenwriter is underrepresented across cinema studies, but no more so than in the discussion of biopics. My exegesis begins by exploring what academic and popular writing already exists on English-language biopics, highlighting that amidst auteurist approaches prevalent in cinema studies, little credit has been afforded to screenwriters. I seek to address this by examining how screenwriters have responded to historiographical and socio-political contexts while balancing the needs of the audience with factual integrity (or sometimes not), before using the case studies of Abraham Lincoln and Charles Lindbergh to explore how American hero figures have been represented on screen. How does a script written on Lincoln in 1939, for example, differ in terms of tone and political philosophy to one delivered in the 21st century? Using historical approaches, the exegesis then examines the life of Paul Robeson and the Welsh miners he knew, to observe the meticulous choices required by the screenwriter researching and writing a biopic script. Using primary sources (interviews with living dramatic writers, including the BAFTA-nominated screenwriter of the biopic, Good Vibrations) and secondary sources (screenplays, films, audio, interviews, other academic writing), I question where and when to begin and end a biographical story, which parts of a person’s life to include or jettison, how to make a historical figure’s events pertinent to a contemporary audience, and how to utilise fictionalised elements in a drama while adhering to a central truth. My own screenplay on Robeson and Wales is the embodiment of this research. The script demonstrates the myriad artistic decisions that need to be made to present the qualities and flaws of the historical figure. It shows why fictionalised moments and composite characters contribute to an understanding of a real person’s motives and feelings in a way documentary and historical writing cannot. And it stands as a record of the screenwriter’s previously overlooked contribution to creating biographical films.
The profiling and imaging of sterol molecules in the human brain
Authors:   , Griffiths Lauren
Published: February 2023

For this project we had a unique opportunity to truly explore sterol molecules within the human brain of healthy and disease individuals. Cholesterol, and its derivative oxysterols, are quickly becoming an important topic within neurodegenerative diseases, with published literature suggesting altered sterol profiles from the peripheral fluid in individuals with these disorders. The main aims of this work were to analyse oxysterols and cholesterol in neurodegenerative disease human brain tissue and corresponding controls using homogenisation to look whether the sterol profiles differ in Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis and cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis. We also aimed to develop and optimise a method to image cholesterol across intact brain tissue sections and quantify the cholesterol in regions of interest using mass spectrometry imaging. We successfully achieved the quantification of oxysterols in all neurological disorders named above and identified some significant differences in specific sterol pathways and metabolites in Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis homogenate tissue samples. Notably, we optimised a method to quantify and visualise cholesterol across intact tissue sections using isotope-labelled standards and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ ionisation (MALDI) - mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) and found significant changes in cholesterol in several regions of interest, including the lesions of human multiple sclerosis brain tissue and the inflammatory edge of white matter lesions using this method. We also observed differences in white matter brain stem regions of Huntington’s disease mouse brain tissue. These results highlight the importance of our optimised MALDI-MSI cholesterol method, identifying important changes in tissue that cannot be seen with standard immunohistochemical staining techniques. These changes could be telling of pathologies and mechanisms at play in neurodegenerative diseases and could help target biomarkers for future treatments.
Exploring the conduct and reporting of qualitative research in trials using mixed methods
Authors:   , Clement Clare
Published: February 2023

Background The benefits of using qualitative research in trials (QRT) have been demonstrated and it is commonly used. However, the prevalence of QRT and issues with its conduct have been highlighted. Underpinned by a pragmatic approach, this study aimed to explore the use of QRT and identify factors that influence its implementation and reporting. Methods A convergent mixed methods design which included five components 1) a systematic review of 1,492 registered trials that report using qualitative research (1999-2016), 2) a critical review of 2,343 publications reporting QRT (2011-2017), 3) a narrative synthesis which involved the thematic analysis of 23 publications (2011-2020), 4) a case study of three trials which used qualitative research. The case study included nine interviews with members of the case study trial teams as well as 149 trial documents, and 5) the development and piloting of two quality appraisal checklists for QRT reporting. Findings The use of QRT has increased over time, but overall usage remains low. Use is limited to trials investigating behavioural interventions, those conducted in rich Western countries and in trials in co-morbidity conditions, oncology, and mental health. Overall reporting quality for QRT appears to be good but is variable with some areas of reporting being poorer. Engagement with QRT depends on people understanding it and seeing its value. Embedding qualitative researchers within the trial team, good collaborative relationships, consideration of the needs of all trial components and how these relate to each other and being flexible can help to overcome methodological tensions and ensure successful QRT. Conclusion Researchers and other stakeholders involved in trials need to recognise the benefits that QRT can bring and consider its use in a wide range of health areas, countries and in trials evaluating all forms of interventions. Further recommendations for the planning, conduct and reporting QRT are provided.

INTRODUCTION Transposition of the great arteries is the second most common cyanotic congenital heart defect after tetralogy of Fallot. The arterial switch procedure (А. Jatene, 1975) is the surgical treatment of choice. Neoaortic root dilatation and valve regurgitation are quite common among the patients who underwent surgery for transposition of the great arteries. However, there are a lot of conflicting data about their direct connection.

CLINICAL CASE This article describes surgical repair of neoaortic bicuspid valve regurgitation, by it successful implantation, in an  18-year-old  patient  after arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries in the neonatal period.

CONCLUSION Neoaortic valve insufficiency can develop primarily as well as secondary to neoaortic root dilatation, however, the questions about valve repair or aortic root replacement with or without neoaortic valve implantation remains debatable. At this stage, decision making is based only on unsystematic clinical experience, surgeon’s intuition, the basics of anatomy and pathophysiology, as well as close interaction of “pediatric” and “adult” cardiac surgeons.

Published: February 2023

Postpartum hemorrhage is a serious obstetric complication due to the threat to the life and health of a woman. One of the common causes of bleeding in the postpartum period is uterine hypotension. If conservative methods of treating hypotonic bleeding are ineffective, hemostatic compression sutures are applied to the body of the uterus, ligation/clipping of the main vessels of the uterus and (or) ligation of the internal iliac arteries. If available, endovascular uterine artery embolization (UAE) is performed. The review is devoted to the efficacy and safety of UAE in pregnant women with postpartum hypotonic bleeding, as well as to the long-term results of follow-up.

Campylobacter, one of the most prevalent bacteria responsible for gastroenteritis in human worldwide. Campylobacter infections result from ingestion of contaminated food and water depending upon susceptibility of individuals and virulence of infecting strain. The prevalence of these bacteria is highly diverse and present worldwide. Increase in antibiotic resistance among these bacteria is recognized as emerging public health problem. Current study is designed to analyze the risk factors related with Campylobacteriosis, prevalence in meat (chicken, beef and mutton) and antimicrobial resistance profiles of these bacteria from district Okara, Pakistan. The time span for lab work was from October 2020 to March 2021including sampling and testing. A total of 300 swab samples were collected from poultry, beef and mutton. The ISO 10272-1:217(E) method for isolation through biochemical and molecular identification carried out. Disc diffusion method used for AMR calculation. The overall prevalence of campylobacter was only 2%, detected only in poultry meat out of 300 samples. Among the isolated strains, Campylobacter indicated highest resistance against Tetracycline 100%, followed by Cefotaxime, Tylocine 83%, Enrofloxacin 66%, Clindamycin and Nalidixic acid 50%, lowest resistance against Streptomycin and Doxycycline only 33% and 16% respectively. The significance relation was obtained for two variables that include eating during dealing meat and contact of excreta with meat. Prevalence of Campylobacter is very low as compared to study conducted earlier in Pakistan. The drug of choice for Campylobacter related infections is doxycycline and streptomycin. The results indicate that prevalence of Campylobacter is very low on meat in Okara region but higher microbial resistance.

Comparison of the results of the calculation of the value of the rod force from the two methods will be compared to see the efficiency of the calculation analysis of the two methods. From the results of the calculation of the method of joint and the Analysis of Structure Analysis Program-2000 (SAP-2000) in calculating and analyzing the value of each vertical bar force, horizontal bar, tension member, and compression member, the difference between each rod force is at (0- 0.51) kg. This shows that the calculation analysis using the Structure Analysis Program-2000 (SAP-2000) is faster and more efficient in calculating each bar force.
Inversión privada en generación distribuida de energía solar fotovoltaica: evaluación integral mediante un modelo determinístico
Authors: Ramos Sanz Alba
Published: February 2023

En el presente trabajo se presenta el desarrollo de un análisis técnico-económico y ambiental a fin de estimar el potencial de generación de energía solar fotovoltaica en el caso de una agroindustria. Mediante un relevamiento al predio de la empresa se caracteriza el consumo anual de energía en riego agrícola, concluyendo que el mismo representa el 90% de los costos energéticos de la firma. Se aplica un modelo matemático determinístico de celda solar de material policristalino sometido a las condiciones ambientales de irradiancia solar y temperatura ambiente de la zona de estudio, con lo cual se obtienen los datos de salida de corriente, voltaje y potencia. Una vez conocido el potencial de generación de energía solar fotovoltaica, se estiman los arreglos de celdas y paneles y los costos netos de inversión. Por otra parte, se definen las tasas de descuento mediante las metodologías del CAPM y del WACC para aplicar en el flujo de fondos del proyecto puro y del proyecto apalancado al 50% con Sistema Francés de amortización. Los resultados obtenidos indican un potencial de generación solar fotovoltaica condicionado fuertemente de manera negativa por variables macroeconómicas que podrían explicar el desincentivo en la inversión privada en generación distribuida.

Los desastres naturales constituyen una seria amenaza a nivel global. Cada año una creciente cantidad de desastres naturales tiene lugar en diferentes regiones del mundo (Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters [CRED], 2020a), y se espera que esto se profundice, a futuro, a consecuencia del cambio climático (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC], 2018). En esta nota breve se analizan las predicciones teóricas del impacto de los desastres naturales sobre el crecimiento económico, con especial énfasis en los contrastes presentes en los diferentes modelos.
Brasil: asistencia técnica a la auto construcción
Authors: Luz da Conceição Milton
Published: February 2023

Este artículo se plantea como objetivo divulgar la preocupación por la falta de una asistencia técnica en la construcción de viviendas para la población de bajos ingresos en Brasil, entendiendo que este hecho esta directamente relacionado con la imposibilidad de trasladar los conocimientos académicos de la Arquitectura y el Urbanismo hasta las poblaciones más carenciadas. En un país pobre y con gran injusticia social como Brasil las personas realizan sus propias construcciones en asentamientos humanos precarios y clandestinos sin ninguna asistencia Estatal. Estos asentamientos clandestinos son sitios con poca o ninguna infraestructura, sin utilidad pública (escuelas, salud), con viviendas autoconstruidas sin documentación legal y sin condiciones de habitabilidad. Actualmente se esta intentado reducir esta distancia a partir de recientes iniciativas del Estado Brasileño. La implementación del “ESTATUTO DE LAS CIUDADES” es un instrumento público que entre otras obligaciones establece la “ATHIS” (Asistencia técnica obligatoria a la habitación social). A partir del año 2008, se implementó esta iniciativa y los primeros resultados de esta herramienta social ya comienzan a vislumbrarse en las ciudades brasileñas.

THE PANDEMIC OF COVID-19 FROM ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Majid Mohammed Abdul
Published: February 2023

Humans have known pandemics from time immemorial. The first true pandemic recorded in history is the Black Plague of 1918. After a century the world witnessed another true pandemic in the form of COVID19, caused by a virus known as Coronavirus, which is just 80-120 nm in diameter. It is submicroscopic, and per scientific knowledge, is the smallest and least valuable known living thing. Five events which are universally predominant during this pandemic are: fear, hunger, loss of wealth, loss of life and loss of provisions. It is amazing that the Qur'an confirms these five events as a test for humanity (Al-Baqarah, 155). In the matter of social distancing, it is amazing that Qur’an states that, Musa AS cursed his deviant follower Samiri, that he will be telling people throughout his remaining life that not to touch him (Ta-Ha, 97). Definitely a similitude to the social distancing practiced worldwide during this pandemic. As far as quarantine is concerned, the Prophet SAW, encouraged the people to follow the universal law of not to approach a land where an epidemic is prevailing, and if an epidemic has broken out in a land where one is staying, then do not leave that place, and bear it patiently (Sahih Al-Bukhari, 3473). Finally, there are good tidings from the Prophet SAW to his Ummah, in one of his sayings that Allah, Ta’ala has made plague, a source of mercy for the believers, for if one in the time of an epidemic plague stays in his country patiently hoping for Allah's reward and believing that nothing will befall him except what Allah Tala has written for him, he will get the reward of a martyr (Sahih Al-Bukhari 3474). In conclusion, fifteen centuries back Islam gave clear-cut solutions to the problems like pandemics.

Penatalaksanaan tanggap darurat bencana merupakan tanggung jawab bagi berbagai pihak, juga petugas kesehatan, salah satunya tenaga medis. Simulasi gladi ruang merupakan salah satu metode simulasi yang saat ini dikembangkan dan dimodifikasi dengan menggunakan media papan bergambar daerah bencana sehingga lebih komunikatif, menyenangkan serta meningkatkan motivasi dalam pembelajaran peserta didik didalam ruangan. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh model edukasi dan simulasi gladi ruang terhadap kemampuan perawat dalam tatalaksana korban bencana. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain quasi experimental with non equivalent control group. Subjek penelitian adalah perawat yang masuk dalam tim medis berjumlah 60 orang. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi dan pemberian tindakan edukasi pada kelompok kontrol serta simulasi gladi ruang menggunakan media papan bergambar pada kelompok intervensi. Observasi dilakukan selama subjek penelitian mengikuti kegiatan yang terdiri dari 3 parameter yaitu komunikasi, triase korban, pertolongan pertama pada korban dan keputusan rujukan. Hasil didapatkan perbedaan dalam melakukan tanggap darurat atau tatalaksana korban bencana antara kelompok kontrol dan kelompok intervensi p = 0.000 (p<0.005). Kelompok yang diberikan simulasi gladi ruang memiliki nilai rata-rata lebih tinggi daripada kelompok kontrol yang diberikan edukasi (77.75). Simulasi memiliki dampak yang signifikan terhadap perubahan kemampuan seseorang dalam melakukan sesuatu, karena melibatkan beberapa panca indera, seperti penglihatan dan pendengaran sekaligus, serta melakukan tindakan sebagai bentuk belajar langsung dari ilmu yang sudah didapatkan. Kesimpulan didapatkan bahwa simulasi gladi ruang terbukti lebih efektif meningkatkan kemampuan peserta pelatihan dalam tatalaksana korban bencana pada situasi tanggap darurat oleh perawat.
