Authors: AKHTER HS , YOUSAF S , JABEEN S , NAWA B
Published: January 2025

Hand hygiene is a critical component of infection control and patient safety, yet compliance with hand hygiene practices remains a significant challenge, particularly in resource-constrained settings like Pakistan. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of nurses regarding hand hygiene in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 106 nurses working in various departments, including surgical, medical, and critical care units. Participants were selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a prevalidated structured questionnaire covering demographics, knowledge, attitudes, and practices. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, employing descriptive and inferential statistics, with a p-value of <0.05 considered significant. Results: The findings revealed moderate knowledge levels (mean score: 8.3 ± 2.4), with 99.5% of participants understanding the need to remove accessories before scrubbing and 82% recognizing the importance of hand hygiene before taking an ECG. Attitudes were generally positive, with 87% agreeing that hand hygiene prevents nosocomial infections. However, only 42.9% consistently used hand hygiene assessment tools, highlighting gaps in practices. Age and education level significantly influenced knowledge and practices (p < 0.05).Conclusion: While nurses demonstrated adequate knowledge and positive attitudes toward hand hygiene, significant gaps in practices were observed. These findings underscore the need for targeted training programs, improved infrastructure, and institutional support to enhance compliance with hand hygiene protocols. Addressing these challenges is essential to reducing healthcare-associated infections and improving patient outcomes in Pakistan.

Authors: Lim Perry L. , Prasad Anoop K. , Salimy Mehdi S. , Melnic Christopher M. , Bedair Hany S.
Published: January 2025

Introduction:

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is increasingly favored in clinical practice due to its favorable long-term survival rates, positive clinical outcomes, and expedited recovery. Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) remain a formidable complication in knee arthroplasty, and guidelines for the management are limited. This study aims to assess the failure rates of débridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) in UKAs, providing insights into optimal treatment management and infection-free survival for PJI in this context.

Methods:

Twenty-five patients met the inclusion criteria of PJI, as defined by Musculoskeletal Infection Society criteria, and were retrospectively reviewed from January 2000 to September 2023. Surgical treatment included 17 DAIRs (78%), six one-stage revision procedures (20%), and three two-stage revision procedures (12%). Seventeen patients (78%) had acute hematogenous infections (<3 weeks of symptoms). Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis was done for reinfection and revision procedures.

Results:

The overall infection-free survival and all-cause survival regardless of management at 3 years was 60.1% (95% confidence interval [CI], 45.7% to 89.6%) and 55.8% (95% CI, 38.2% to 81.5%), respectively. Both two-stage and one-stage revision procedures had an infection-free survivorship of 100% at 3 years (95% CI, 100% to 100%). DAIR treatment had an infection-free survival at 3 years of 41.6% (95% CI, 22.4% to 77.4%). Nine of 17 patients (53%) undergoing DAIR were unsuccessful and required subsequent second DAIR, one-stage, or two-stage revision procedures.

Discussion:

The efficacy of DAIR following PJI in UKA is notably limited, suggesting a need for reevaluation of its role in managing UKA PJIs. Given the absence of established guidelines for PJI management specifically tailored to UKA, there is an urgent and compelling need for future studies to elucidate optimal clinical strategies to allow for the best treatment for patients.

Research among orthopaedic surgery residents provides numerous benefits, which include but are not limited to development of critical thinking skills, greater understanding of study design and statistical analysis, strengthened fellowship applications, networking, and the ability to practice evidence based medicine. Research has been increasingly emphasized among orthopaedic surgery residency directors, and residency programs have uniformly implemented protected research time into their formal clinical training. Despite this, there are few resources describing the ability to conduct research effectively during residency. The purpose of this review is to provide an outline for implementing a successful, productive, high-output, resident-centric, research infrastructure leveraging resources available at clinical orthopaedic surgery residencies.
Cost Effectiveness of Fixation Versus Total Hip Arthroplasty in Vancouver B2 Periprosthetic Femur Fractures: A Predictive Markov Analysis
Authors: Scott Bryan L. , Blackburn Amy Z. , Prasad Anoop K. , Lim Perry , Lavoie-Gagne Ophelie , Melnic Christopher M. , Bedair Hany S.
Published: January 2025

Background:

Although Vancouver B2 periprosthetic fractures (PPFs) have been historically managed with revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA), open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) has been proposed as an alternative option for reasons including lower cost and surgical time. The purpose of this study was to, therefore, create a Markov model to assess the cost effectiveness of ORIF versus rTHA for Vancouver B2 periprosthetic femur fractures and evaluate various inflection points for varying costs and outcome measures.

Methods:

A Markov model was built using discrete and mutually exclusive health states of the hypothetical patient with Vancouver B2 PPF. A decision tree was created on possible outcomes for each health state, using probabilities defined in the recent PPF literature. Direct costs and quality-adjusted life-years for each surgery and complication state were also collected. One-way and two-way deterministic sensitivity analyses were conducted to better understand the effect of 1 to 2 variables on the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio.

Results:

The hypothetical patient with a Vancouver B2 PPF that was treated with rTHA incurred a cost of $52,559.64 with an effectiveness of 0.71. When treated with ORIF, the cost was $47,371.97 with an effectiveness of 0.38. The incremental cost and effectiveness of rTHA over ORIF were found to be $5,187.67 and 0.33, respectively. The cost of rTHA, the cost of ORIF, and the effectiveness of ORIF were the most influential variables in the model. On two-way sensitivity analysis, rTHA was more cost effective than ORIF within realistic healthcare parameters.

Discussion:

From the payer perspective, we estimate that rTHA is more cost effective than ORIF for the treatment of Vancouver B2 PPFs within certain cost and quality-of-life parameters.

Local y global son dos términos polisémicos. Al hablar de local podríamos referirnos a una ciudad, una comarca o incluso un Estado (Entrena-Durán, 2010, p. 691). Concretamente en esta monografía, el término local se utiliza en un doble sentido: Casablanca y Puebla como espacios que a su vez pertenecen a dos Estados, Marruecos y México, con sus propias realidades históricas, económicas, políticas, sociales y culturales. Esto no significa que ambos territorios no tengan puntos en común: los dos han formado parte de imperios (España y Francia) y tanto Marruecos como México, por su posición geográfica en sus respectivos continentes, son puerta de entrada al llamado primer mundo, Europa y América del Norte. A esto hay que sumar, que en la actualidad tanto Puebla como Casablanca, son fuertes polos de desarrollo industrial dentro de sus respectivos países.
Assessment of AI Influence on an IT Company Performance: Methodologies and Challenges
Authors: Berest Kostiantyn
Published: January 2025

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gained popularity as a transformative force for businesses in different domains. Despite its rapid adoption, particularly within IT companies, one still faces a challenge when it comes to measuring AI's influence on organizational performance. To a certain extent, AI affects both macro-level metrics (e.g., ROI or overall employee productivity), and specific operational Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), including employee satisfaction and turnover rates, customer satisfaction and net promotion scores, marketing effectiveness, and so on. Moreover, AI influence often alters over time since AI-based solutions often require an 'adaptation' period, which includes technical implementation, additional process changes, staff training, etc. This article explores potential ways to assess AI's impact on IT company performance, considering both the challenges of broad influence and time-dependent results. The study underscores the importance of integrating quantitative metrics with qualitative feedback mechanisms to capture a holistic view of AI's impact, especially in direct user interaction scenarios. Through the case study of a mid-sized IT (game development) company, the article demonstrates how AI-powered marketing asset creation improved campaign efficiency, increased testing capacity, and boosted financial performance over six months. This real-world application showcases an example of an incremental analysis to evaluate AI's contributions to both macro and micro-level metrics to understand if the AI application paid off. The findings emphasize that measuring AI's influence requires a complex approach, which would consider both the high-level organizational metrics, specific operational KPIs, and user insights. Future research should explore ways to isolate AI-related contributions in complex real-economy environments and monitor long-term AI performance trends.

Money as Information: Economical and Philosophical Implications for the Quantity Theory of Money
Authors: Rehbein-Sathler André
Published: January 2025

This paper develops a novel theoretical framework that reconceptualizes money as information, extending the classical Quantity Theory of Money through information theory. By substituting Shannon’s entropy equation for the traditional quantity of money variable in Fisher’s equation of exchange, we establish a new analytical framework for understanding monetary phenomena. Our approach yields three primary contributions. First, we demonstrate how monetary systems can be analyzed through their informational properties, with particular attention to limit cases where informational entropy approaches zero (analogous to gold standard systems) or infinity (corresponding to hyperinflationary scenarios). Second, we explore how this informational perspective provides new insights into monetary stability and policy effectiveness, especially relevant for digital currencies and modern financial systems. Third, we examine the philosophical implications of viewing money as information, engaging with questions of ontology, phenomenology, and ethics in monetary systems. The framework proves particularly valuable for analyzing contemporary monetary phenomena, including cryptocurrency systems and digital central bank currencies. Our findings suggest that monetary stability depends not merely on quantitative factors but on the quality and reliability of information transmission within the economic system, offering new perspectives for monetary policy and financial system design.

Experimental results on the response of solids to shock loading obtained by the original method capable of real-time recording of mesoscopic characteristics contradict the conventional representation of elastic-plastic transition within the local equilibrium concepts of continuum mechanics. Nonlocal mathematical modeling of space-time correlations in a shock pulse based on nonequilibrium statistical mechanics allowed uniting the obtained experimental data within the new physical representation of shock-wave phenomena where the mesoscopic carriers of deformation were interacting wave packets. Microstructural investigations of the studied materials reveal different levels of deformation in three ranges of shock velocities, which are responsible for macroscopic properties of materials.

Entre as tcnicas regenerativas atualmente aceitas para este propósito, destaca-se a regenerao tecidual guiada.
Objetivo: Avaliar o padrão de cicatrização e a resposta histológica do organismo frente à inserção de uma membrana a base de gelatina tipo A (Marquette), e compará-la com membrana comercial.
Métodos: Foram selecionadas 15 coelhas adultas. Na região parietal da calvária foram realizados retalhos para criação de uma bolsa supraperiostal e implantação de 2 tipos de membranas reabsorvíveis: membrana Marquette e membrana Bio-Gide®. Após o procedimento cirúrgico os animais foram alocados em 3 grupos randomicamente selecionados (n = 5) para o período de eutanásia, que ocorreu em 2, 4 e 6 semanas pósoperatórias. Posteriormente, as áreas da calvária foram removidas e coradas por H&E e analisadas para averiguar formação de periósteo, infiltrado inflamatório na área de inserção de membrana, degradação/reabsorção da membrana, e fibrose perimembranar.
Resultados: Ao redor da membrana Bio-Gide® ocorreu discreta infiltração inflamatória e a membrana sofreu reabsorção ao decorrer do período pós-operatório com reconstrução de periósteo prevalentemente de caráter fibroso. A membrana Marquette também não desencadeou importante reação inflamatória. Contudo, não foi verificada reabsorção significativa durante o período, e também ocorreu significante formação de cápsula fibrosa cerceando toda área membranar.
Conclusão: A membrana Marquette produz reação de isolamento tecidual, minimizando a formação periostal ao mesmo tempo que não proporciona sua degradação.

Maintaining the environment is everyone's obligation; it is a gift from God and must be maintained so that our families are free from disease. Maintaining the environment can be started by using clean water as a daily source. The service is located at Sumber Ngesong, and according to information, the water quality has been monitored for about 5 years. Because water from this source is always used by residents of Punten Village and its surroundings, it is very important to continue monitoring to ensure that the water quality remains good. Therefore, to monitor the water quality in question, this service accompanies parties who have related disciplines. To test the water quality physically and biologically, water samples were taken. The results of laboratory tests showed that the water did not contain potentially dangerous parameters, including coli bacteria. Thus, the water is still suitable for consumption and can be used as raw water. However, the service team recommends that it be processed first, such as boiling.

The problem of stunting is still a big challenge in efforts to improve children's health in Indonesia, especially in rural areas. This program aims to increase awareness of the people of Sigam Village, Kotabaru Regency, regarding the importance of balanced nutrition to prevent stunting in toddlers and support the health of pregnant women. Two main approaches are carried out in this program: (1) making educational magazines displaying information about healthy eating patterns and the impact of stunting, and (2) making and distributing mackerel fish nuggets as a nutritious food alternative for toddlers and pregnant women. Antistunting posters were installed at the Sigam Village Kindergarten so that they can be easily accessed by parents and caregivers, with the hope of increasing their understanding of nutrition and examples of balanced menus that can be applied in everyday life. The mackerel fish nuggets distributed are made from local ingredients with high protein and omega-3 content which are useful for supporting children's growth and the health of pregnant women. Program evaluation shows a positive response from the community, who feel helped in understanding the importance of nutritional intake and choosing affordable nutritious food. This program has succeeded in increasing public awareness and understanding of the importance of nutrition to prevent stunting, as well as providing practical nutritious food solutions that children like. It is hoped that this activity can continue to be implemented and involve more parties to create a generation that is healthy and free from the risk of stunting.
Cyberspace as Asset Specificity
Authors: Rossi Marcia C. , Gallouj Faïz , Perez Gilberto
Published: January 2025

Objective: This article proposes cyberspace as the seventh asset specificity in Transaction Cost Theory. To support this view, this article aims to answer the following interconnected questions: (i) what are the characteristics of cyberspace? (ii) what possible forms can it take considering the convergence between asset specificities in the physical and digital environments?
Methodology: This article adopts theoretical and analytical methods, with an analysis of the literature dedicated to Transaction Costs and Cyberspace.
Originality: Cyberspace is proposed as the seventh asset specificity in Transaction Cost Theory, expanding the traditional framework to include digital environments. Unlike conventional assets, cyberspace introduces a triad of connectivity, interactivity, and visibility, serving as a medium and as asset specificity that influences business models. This new asset accentuates the role of cyberspace in transaction costs and managing uncertainty within increasingly digitalized economies.
Theoretical contributions: Cyberspace has the potential to integrate transaction cost theory, highlighting the management of specific assets - constituting a broad field for empirical research. In addition, it is proposed that cyberspace is correlated with the evolution of Service Innovation Theory, discussed in depth by Gallouj and Djellal (2010, 2018 and 2023). 
Managerial contributions: The relevance of cyberspace as an asset specificity is emphasized, enabling managers to understand better and manage uncertainty when making specific investment decisions. These elements are essential for establishing unique characteristics, promoting efficiency, reducing transaction costs, and managing uncertainty.

O ensino híbrido, também conhecido como blended learning, emergiu como uma abordagem pedagógica que combina práticas presenciais e digitais, oferecendo flexibilidade e personalização no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Essa metodologia tem ganhado destaque, sobretudo no contexto contemporâneo, onde a integração de tecnologias educacionais é essencial para enfrentar os desafios pós-pandemia e as demandas de inovação na educação. Por essa razão, este estudo se propõe a analisar as perspectivas e os desafios do ensino híbrido na educação contemporânea, utilizando uma revisão bibliométrica das produções acadêmicas disponíveis na base Web of Science, considerando publicações revisadas por pares, de acesso aberto, entre os anos de 2020 e 2023.  Os resultados revelaram que o ensino híbrido desempenha um papel crucial na personalização do aprendizado e no engajamento dos estudantes, destacando-se estratégias como o flipped classroom. Contudo, a revisão também evidenciou desafios significativos, como a desigualdade digital e a necessidade de capacitação docente, que limitam sua adoção em contextos menos favorecidos. Além disso, lacunas foram identificadas na literatura, particularmente no que tange aos impactos de longo prazo do modelo híbrido na formação de competências transversais.  Pontanto,  conclui-se que o ensino híbrido possui grande potencial transformador, mas sua eficácia depende de investimentos em infraestrutura tecnológica, políticas públicas inclusivas e capacitação contínua dos educadores. Assim, este modelo pedagógico pode contribuir não apenas para atender às demandas emergentes da educação contemporânea, mas também para promover um aprendizado mais inclusivo, flexível e centrado no estudante.
