Authors: Aluneizi Ahlam , Aluneizi Eman , Etland Dr. Caroline
Published: August 2023

Purpose: Sepsis is a significant cause of mortality in modern intensive care units (ICUs). At Sharp Grossmont Hospital (SGH), sepsis cases increased the patient mortality rate in comparison to other Sharp facilities. Currently, no tools are utilized to identify septic patients at SGH. The study aimed to find out the impact of early consultation of advanced illness management (AIM) and goals of care conversations (GOCC) on reducing the length of stay (LOS) among septic shock patients.

Methodology: Descriptive data were attained based on Electronic Medical Records (EMR) of 39 septic shock patients form which ICU nurses utilize to calculate Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) on admission and daily for 2 days. 

Findings: The education increased the ICU staff’s awareness of the high occurrence of septic shock among ICU patients. After the deployment of SOFA scores among 39 patients of septic shock, the average LOS was 3 days, compared to more than 5 days before implementing SOFA scores. Post-implementation, 33 % of patients received early AIM or GOCC intervention, with 84% of them receiving intervention from the first day of admission. These percentages are compared to pre-implementation, when early AIM or GOCC intervention was provided to 36.4 % of patients, with 41.3 % of them receiving AIM or GOCC from the first day of admission.

Recommendations: In this study, the leader of change must be aware of standardized Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) orders for SOFA scores and measure the compliance of ICU nurses in documenting SOFA scores. Moreover, raise awareness among healthcare professionals about the high occurrence of septic shock mortality among ICU patients.

Online personality tests have emerged due to evolving technological advances, with their popularity mainly rooted due to their ease of use and quick results. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI, one of the most popular, has become the new approach to assessing personality. The user will be categorized as one of the 16 personalities described in this test, each with their own set of strengths, weaknesses, and preferences. On the other hand, academic performance is the degree of knowledge of a student and is impacted by various circumstances. Several studies have investigated the relationship between personality types and academic-related events. This became the catalyst for why the researchers aim to achieve a correlative study, utilizing the currently popular MBTI in particular. The researchers seek to determine if this test can be used for anything more than psychological feedback. Notably, the researchers’ objectives not only define the concepts of various personalities present on the test and academic performance but also determine whether there is a connection between these personality types and the student’s academic performance. To conclude, the researchers employed both physical and online surveys. These comprised the adopted 16-personality type questionnaire by Crystal Knows to determine their personality type and a form that sought the first semester grades of core and applied subjects of 294 grade 12 students, the calculated number of participants needed for the study. Following a thorough data collection procedure, the researchers arrived at the following conclusions: 1) There are a variety of MBTI types present among grade 12 students, but they can be classified into four (4) groups: Analysts, Diplomats, Sentinels, and Explorers. 2) The student’s academic performance in school falls into three (3) categories: Category A (90-100), Category A (90-100), Category B (85-89), and Category C (75-84). 3) There are academic groups that excelled, particularly the Analysts and Diplomats group. Lastly, 4) No substantial correlation exists between personality types and students’ academic performance. The study’s implications can help young individuals expand their knowledge through personality tests.

The World Health Organization, 2001 warned that noise pose a serious threat to human wellbeing. But little is known about noise pollution in hospitals in study area. The study is aimed at assessing the level of noise pollution in selected private and public hospitals in Anyigba town, Kogi state. While sound measuring meters were used to measure the sound intensity at the selected hospitals, questionnaires were used to elicit responses from the respondents. Findings shows that 101 (63%) of the respondents indicated that noise pollution has effect on patients in the hospital, stressing that excessive noise in hospitals reduces the intelligibility of speech and impairs communication, causing annoyance, irritation, fatigue and reduction of the quality and safety of healthcare delivery. The paper found that noise levels in some hospitals in Anyigba have exceeded the WHO and EPA recommended noise decibel levels (35dB) in hospital rooms. These hospitals include Kogi State University Teaching Hospital (60dB), Kogi State University, Medical Center, (59dB), Grimard Catholic Hospital (58dB), Good Shepard hospital (58dB), Nebo Multi-Care Hospital (55dB), Pacific Hospital (54dB), and Blue House Hospital (52dB). Hypothesis tested says there is no statistically significant variation in the level of noise pollution between selected hospitals in Anyigba. The paper suggested that hospital noise emission level in the study area should not exceed the WHO and EPA standard (i.e., 35dB).

Published: August 2023

Introduction: Caspase-3 is a crucial mediator of the extrinsic apoptosis pathway. The role of caspase-3 for extrinsic apoptosis signalling is still a challenge and should be exploited in childhood ALL. This study aimed to compare the caspase-3 expression in the patient’s bone marrow before and after the induction phase of chemotherapy in childhood ALL. It will also to correlate the mean difference in caspase-3 expression between ALL standard-risk and ALL high-risk patients. Methods: Seventeen newly diagnosed ALL subjects were enrolled in this study. Caspase-3 expression in bone marrow was assessed using flow cytometry and monoclonal antibodies. A T-test and a paired T-test were used to compare between groups. The correlation coefficient between ALL groups was evaluated using Spearman’s test and linear regression with a significant p-value of 0.05. Results: The caspase-3 expression is higher after induction therapy. However, it showed an insignificant difference (16.56+12.91% vs 27.71+12.33%; p = 0.08, p > 0.05). The mean difference of caspase-3 in ALL high-risk groups was significantly higher than in ALL standard-risk groups with a positive correlation (p = 0.007, r = 0.756). Conclusion: The caspase-3 expression after induction phase chemotherapy was increased in all standard-risk and high-risk patients; other lymphoblast apoptosis markers need to be confirmed alongside caspase-3.

Authors: Kinanti Hapsari , Alinda Medhi Denisa
Published: August 2023

Introduction: This study aims to provide the current situation of leprosy prevalence and clinical findings in one of the endemic regions of North Gresik City that has already achieved elimination status. Leprosy remains a public health problem in some developing countries, including Indonesia. Indonesia, with two other big countries, India and Brazil, contributed 74% of all the new leprosy cases detected. Even though Indonesia achieved the elimination target from WHO in 2018, the endemic pockets are still scattered, and new cases remain detected each year. Methods: This study is a one-decade retrospective analysis descriptive record based on newly diagnosed cases of leprosy from 2010 until 2020. We use total data sampling of all newly diagnosed leprosy cases and analyze using SPSS. Result: This study found that newly diagnosed cases of leprosy are still discovered each year. 15.7% of newly diagnosed cases were children. MB type was dominated type in this study. MB types are statistically significant in male subjects (35.5%) diagnosed more than one year after the symptoms appear. 40.7% were found with deformity when first diagnosed. Conclusion: This study reports a high rate of contracting leprosy disease in children, with 15.7% of cases. It indicates that disease transmission remains high in the community and might be out of control. The new cases diagnosed dominated with MB type, and 40.7% had deformity when first diagnosed. There was a delayed diagnosis reported that could be caused by ineffective surveillance for early diagnosing new cases.

Authors: Vivian Lee Yi Mun , Mohamad Zhooriyati Sehu
Published: August 2023

Introduction: The Coronavirus disease pandemic of 2019 (COVID-19) has had psychological implications and altered the public’s well-being. In response to the pandemic, mental health practitioners play an essential role in mitigating the adverse psychological effects among the public. However, as the demand for mental health services increases, the responsibilities of mental health professionals are far stretched from what they can handle. Therefore, this research is aimed to explore the psychological impact of the pandemic on the mental health practitioners in Selangor and their coping strategies. Method: A total of 10 mental health practitioners who are clinical psychologists and counselors participated in the one-to-one interview. The collected data were analysed using thematic analysis. Result: The higher client loads, the transition to virtual therapy, burnout, and anxiety were found to have an impact on the mental health practitioners’ well-being. Despite the challenging psychological impact, the mental health practitioners expressed a high level of satisfaction with their jobs, which they attributed to the supportive organisational culture and their intrinsic drive for selecting this profession. The mental health practitioners have reported that perceived organisational support, social support, and self-care approaches are effective coping mechanisms. Mindfulness skills such as breathing techniques and meditation are often practiced by the participants to calm the mind and body from a long day of work. Conclusion: The implication of the study contributes to breaking the stigmatisation of help seeking behaviour among the helping professions, as well as urging the policy makers, governments, and foundations to play a part in providing accessible and quality mental healthcare to the society.

A heart attack is one of the leading causes of death today. According to a large data population used as a training set for the algorithm for machine learning, classification is a technique for predicting the target class from input data. A difficulty in clinical data analytics is predicting heart attacks with greater precision. The focal point of this work is to analyze the heart attack dataset (Kaggle repository) to find a Machine learning classifier technique that predicts if a person is prone to a heart attack with maximum accuracy based on various health factors. The efficacy of the three classifiers, namely Logistic Regression, Random Forest, and Decision Tree, is demonstrated for predicting heart attack. This work compares the three classification algorithms among various factors. Logistic Regression outperforms all for predicting the values from the dataset accurately.
Data Analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine Disease Diagnosis from the Perspective of Computational Sociology.
Authors: Haodong Zhou
Published: August 2023

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the diagnosis and treatment of diseases typically involve viewing the patient as a system and considering both the intrinsic natural mechanisms of the disease and the external sociological factors. However, a comprehensive and scientific standard for understanding the external sociological factors in TCM diagnosis and treatment has not yet been established. The main reason for this is the complexity of computing these sociological factors due to their openness, multidimensionality, and heterogeneity. Drawing insights from computational sociology, this study explores the latent sociological factors in TCM disease diagnosis and treatment. It aims to obtain sociological factor data related to diseases from various online sources, such as internet-based medical consultation platforms and social networks. Through data analysis, it seeks to reveal the correlations between diseases and sociological latent factors. The ultimate goal is to establish a pre-diagnosis sociological factor database for TCM diseases. This endeavor serves as a foundation for developing a more scientific online TCM disease consultation system, providing references for TCM disease diagnosis and treatment, and offering evidence-based health behavioral recommendations for disease prevention.

Purpose: This research was envisioned to assess the influence of the capital structure on ROE of Micro-financial institutions in Kenya. The research was in search for resolving the following problem; is there a connection between the composition of capital (loan, shareholder’s equity, retained earnings and deposits) and the viability of MFIs? If the firm size has an influence on ROE? The study was motivated by the following capital structure theories, which are the theory of pecking order, Trade-off theory and the theory of Marketing timing.

Methodology: To define the independent variable, the researcher used a correlation research design. The target demographic of the research was all 14 successful microfinance companies as recognized by the Kenya Microfinance Act as of 2020. The research therefore represented a census survey with a period of 5 years (from 2016-2020). The study's research model consisted of the independent variable loans, shareholder’s equity, retained earnings and deposits and the size of the firm as a moderating variable, determined by the firm’s total asset value, and the following ratios as dependent variables: return on equity. To analyze the results, EViews was used. There was descriptive and inferential statistics execution. Diagnostic results were computed before the data analysis.

Findings: The results were presented in the form of tables. The inferential statistics with the moderating variable revealed that loan financing has statistical negligible sway on the financial return of MFIs (p=0.9832>0.05). Shareholders equity financing was found to have a statistically significant influence on financial performance of MFIs (p=0.0047<0.05). Retained earnings financing was found to have a statistically significant influence on financial performance of MFIs (p=0.0016<0.05). Deposit financing was found to have a statistically insignificant influence on financial performance of MFIs (p=0.2168>0.05).in this study.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study suggested that MFIs should strike a balance benefits and costs of debt arising thereof in line with the Trade-off theory, fast growing MFIs to utilize more retained earnings in capital structure, more profitable businesses use less shareholder’s equity in capital structure mix and finally positive correlation on deposits indicating similar correlation is likely to exist with financing capital structure. Thus MFIs may consider reviewing these measures so as to enhance performance to serve the low-income earners better in improving the economy. Further studies can be done based on other performance measures like ROA, EPS,Net Interest Margin. The study used a correlation research design for five-year period from 2016 to 2020. Therefore, this study can be replicated using a different methodology and covering a longer period like ten year.

Purpose: This study sought to investigate the influence of the macro environment on the performance plastic tank manufacturing firms in Nairobi’s industrial area.

Methodology: Respondents were four department managers who were the finance manager, the marketing manager, the production manager, and the supply chain manager who responded to each performance parameter respectively. The sample was a census sample considering there were only 18 plastic tank manufactures in this area. This yielded 72 respondents. Data was collected using semi-structured questionnaires administered to the various respondents. Once collected, the questionnaires were edited for completeness before being entered into the Statistical Package for Social Sciences Computer Package for Analysis. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were obtained and used. Expected outcomes were the different weights that each environmental factor exerted on each performance parameter

Findings: Energy cost had a negative and significant relationship with the performance of performance of plastic tanks manufacturing companies in Kenya. Exchange rates, interest rates and income distribution had a negative but insignificant relationship whereas transport costs had an insignificant positive relationship. Ethics was also found to have a positive and significant relationship with performance of plastics tanks manufacturing firms in Kenya. Purchasing power had an insignificant relationship with firm performance. Result further established that new production technologies, new distribution technologies and new marketing technologies was positively and significantly related to performance of plastics tanks manufacturing firms in Keny.:This study concluded that stakeholders in the matters of security should come with measures to ensure that is favourable for functioning of manufacturing companies in Kenya. The study  concluded that stakeholders should keenly study the economic environment such exchange rates, interest rates, energy and transports costs to ensure they come counter measures to mitigate their influence on the performance of the companies.

Unique Contributions to Theory, Policy and Practice:The study recommended that manufacturing sectors stakeholders should work closely with the ministry of internal security and other relevant authority to provide a secure environment which will enhance their performance. The stakeholders in the manufacturing sector should also come up with measures that will enable them to mitigate the effects of macro-economic factors. The study finally recommended that manufacturing companies in Kenya must adopt latest technology in production, marketing and distribution of their products if they are to perform highly
