Published: September 2024

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of Calcium Hydroxyapatite (HaCa) on tissue repair process in Wistar rats.
 
Theoretical Framework: Collagen is a fundamental element produced by the extracellular matrix during the wound healing process. In the beauty market, there are collagen biostimulators based on HaCa.
 
Method: Wounds were created in the dorsal region of 16 female rats, divided into 2 groups with 8 animals each. In the case group, 0.2ml of HaCa was injected around the wounds, while the control group received no product. The animals were analyzed for 30 days. During this period, the wounds and their characteristics during the tissue repair phases were observed both macroscopically and histologically.
 
Results and Discussion: The reduction of wounds in both the case and control groups was greater between the 5th and 10th day. There was no significant difference between the groups. Microscopically, the skin fragment removed for analysis showed the same characteristics in both groups, with complete re-epithelialization, deposition of collagen fibers, and no signs of exacerbated inflammation.
 
Research Implications: It was observed that HaCa does not interfere with the tissue repair process, without causing adverse reactions such as inflammation, showing that the collagen biostimulator is a biocompatible material.
 
Originality/Value: This was the first study to investigate the application of a collagen biostimulator in the tissue repair process, demonstrating that HaCa is harmless to the animals' cutaneous tissues and presents good durability when injected into the subcutaneous tissue.

Authors: Матвейчев Олег Анатольевич
Published: September 2024

The article presents an overview of the views of Russian thinkers of the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries on the issue of the Slavic homeland. The author examines the Danube basin hypothesis («Russian Primary Chronicle»), which dominated Russian historical thought from XIIth to XIXth centuries, the hypothesis of the missing homeland (I. Giesel), the Asia Minor hypothesis (V.N. Tatishchev, M.V. Lomonosov) and notes that in the XVIIIth century historical thought of Russia the issue of the Slavic homeland had no independent significance and was treated within the more politically relevant issue of the origin of Russian state.

Spatial-Temporal Patterns of Mangrove Forest Change in Zanzibar: A Case Study of Magharibi ‘B’ and Kati Districts in Unguja, Tanzania
Authors: Hayfa Nassor Suleiman  , Ali Ussi Hamad
Published: September 2024

Climate change and variability have been affecting marine biodiversity, including the mangroves, which have numerous advantages for the ocean and human life. For instance, the mangrove habitats at Magharibi B and Kati Unguja have been highly impacted by both human and climate factors. As such, the communities living in these areas need a thorough understanding of the importance of this habitat for their coastal life. The study was conducted to determine the spatial-temporal patterns of mangrove forest changes in Zanzibar, where mangrove forests in three villages, namely Kisakasaka, Fuoni Kibondeni, and Kibele, were investigated. The change detection approach using satellite images from different years was employed for analysis, and interviews and questionnaires were used for ground truthing. The study involved 373 household heads who were obtained using purposive and simple random sampling methods. The primary data-gathering approaches were employed. The results revealed that in the year 2000, dramatic changes in mangroves started to be observed. From 1990 to 2020, forest changes were further observed using satellite photos. As for the respondents' responses, the findings show that 73% of respondents believe that mangrove forests are declining. Also, the study revealed that more than 62.5% of all respondents experienced extreme changes in mangroves between 2000 and 2010. In addition, people's perceptions revealed that the mangrove forest was very large before 2000. Apart from the observed forest decline, the study showed that the main causes leading to changes in mangroves were overpopulation, lack of alternate sources of income, poor management, and widespread clearing of mangroves for charcoal, firewood, and construction materials. The study concludes that the community's reliance on the forest is in jeopardy and that the mangrove forest's transformation has had a significant impact on the community's livelihood. Hence, the study recommends revitalizing the forest, regeneration and rehabilitation, and establishing adequate structures. Also, mangrove preservation projects and departments should conduct extensive community mobilization on effective ways to have alternative socio-economic livelihoods as an adaptation mechanism towards relying on mangrove forests.

Authors: Fatimah Jibril Bawa
Published: September 2024

Purpose: This study investigates the influence of educational background on tax compliance among SMEs in the informal sector of Ghana. It focuses on how SME owners' educational qualifications influence their filing tax compliance, payment tax compliance, and reporting tax compliance in the informal sector of Ghana.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used a quantitative survey research design to collect data from 1168 SME owners operating in the informal sector in Accra and Kumasi, Ghana, using the MANCOVA method of analysis.
Findings: The study found a statistically significant difference between educational background and filing tax compliance among SMEs in the informal sector in Ghana [F (3,1164),7.22, p=0.000] and a statistically significant difference between educational background and payment tax compliance among SMEs in the informal sector in Ghana [F (3,1164),5.17, p=0.001]. The study also discovered that SME owners with a high school certificate were more likely to pay and file taxes than SME owners with other educational credentials or degrees.
Implications/Research Limitation: The results of this study extend and add to the growing empirical studies on taxation and SME business. However, the study was limited to only SMEs in the informal sector of Ghana.
Practical Implication: The study results have the prospect of encouraging Ghanaian policymakers to understand the significance of targeted educational programmes or support for SMEs in the informal sector in improving tax compliance.
Originality/Value: This study is the first to directly investigate how educational qualification can influence tax filing, payment and reporting compliance in Ghana. Nonetheless, this study varies from previous empirical research in terms of methodology and context.

The Moral and Affective Function of Artivism in the XYZ Show
Authors: Gladys Mbithe John  , Dr. Charles Kebaya  , Dr. Larry Ndivo
Published: September 2024

Studies on popular art indicate that it has affective power, which gives it power for political mobilization. While previous scholars agree that The XYZ Show is a popular art form that satirically exposes controversies that surround contemporary political leaders in Kenya, the function of the artivism embedded in the show has not been exhaustively studied. In this paper, I focus on the moral, pedagogical, sensitization and catalytic function of artivism in The XYZ Show with a view to determining how the show uses humour to confront issues ailing the leadership in Kenya. Underpinned in Grace Musila’s models of Bodies/ Affects and pedagogies, this scholar reads The XYZ Show as a popular art production that utilizes artistic strategies to bring to public light and confront socio-political vices such as corruption and misuse of power, lack of integrity displayed by government officials; negative ethnicity and electoral malpractices propagated by the same leaders. Primary data for this study was obtained from purposively sampled disparate episodes of The XYZ Show. The data was analyzed using qualitative textual analysis and organized using thematic content analysis. The findings of this paper add to the knowledge of puppet art and artivism and will form a basis for future studies on the political function of artivism in Kenya.

Published: September 2024

The study was conducted to determine the perceptions and challenges of teaching and learning agricultural science as an aspect of Integrated Science in Junior High Schools in Berekum East Municipality in the Bono Region of Ghana. A concurrent research design was adopted for the study and a total of 42 JHS teachers formed the sample for the study. A census technique was used to select all 42 participants. The research instruments adopted for the study were a questionnaire and an interview guide. Data collected from the questionnaire were analyzed using simple frequency and standard deviation from SPSS software, and the qualitative data were collected thematically. The study established that the JHS teachers teaching Science within the Berekum East Municipality perceived Agriculture as an important aspect of the Science curriculum. They believe Agriculture should be taught as an independent subject. Despite the positive perceptions the teachers possess, there are numerous challenges that confront the effective delivery of this aspect in the Science classroom. Some of the challenges identified were lack of tools and equipment, lack of sites for practice and lack of expertise in teaching that aspect of Science. The study recommended that the Municipal Directorate of Education should put in place a scheme that will address the professional development needs of teachers in Agricultural Science and also enact laws that will allow all basic schools to establish gardens or farms for agricultural practicals.

Comparison of Joint Mobilization and Movement Pattern Training for Hip-Related Groin Pain: Ancillary Analysis to Assess 12-Month Outcomes of a Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Harris-Hayes Marcie , Zorn Patricia , Steger-May Karen , Buss Joanna , Burgess Megan M. , DeMargel Rebecca D. , Clohisy John C. , Haroutounian Simon
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE: We compared 2 interventions for chronic hip-related groin pain (HRGP), joint mobilization (JtMob), and movement pattern training (MoveTrain), to determine if treatment effects observed immediately after treatment were sustained 12 months after treatment completion.

DESIGN: Ancillary analysis of parallel-group, pilot randomized clinical trial.

METHODS: Patients with HRGP, aged 18 to 40 years, were randomized to JtMob or MoveTrain. Outcomes included the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), movement assessment, and pain pressure threshold. Treatment included 10 visits over 12 weeks. JtMob included physical therapist-provided manual techniques using standardized criteria to determine techniques and parameters. MoveTrain included task-specific instruction to correct impaired movement patterns displayed during tasks. Extended follow-up was completed at 6 months (HOOS) and 12 months (HOOS, movement assessment, pain pressure threshold). Data were analyzed with a repeated-measures analysis of variance with baseline value as a covariate; patient as a random effect; and treatment group, visit, and group by visit interaction as fixed effects.

RESULTS: Thirty-three patients were randomized and 29 (88%) provided posttreatment data. Previously, we reported that both groups reported improved HOOS, and MoveTrain displayed improved hip/pelvis kinematics immediately after treatment compared to baseline. At extended follow-up, there were no between-group differences in change in outcomes between posttreatment and extended follow-up ( P>.09), after adjusting for baseline, indicating that treatment effects immediately after treatment were maintained at 12 months.

CONCLUSIONS: JtMob or MoveTrain may result in improvements in patient-reported pain and function that persist 12 months after treatment completion. Future, larger studies are needed to confirm these preliminary results. JOSPT Open 2024;2(1):49-59. Epub 13 December 2023. doi:10.2519/josptopen.2023.1020

Authors: Brady Dalton , Cushman Daniel M. , Hilger Kristin , Nabi Akbarali , Blumenthal Katey , Conger Aaron
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of interventions to reduce soreness after dry needling.

METHODS: This review was designed using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines for systematic reviews. It was registered on PROSPERO.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Our search included randomized controlled trials (RCTs), published in English, that evaluated interventions to reduce soreness in people after dry needling against a comparative group, and had a primary outcome of pain. Trials including postsurgical populations were excluded to minimize confounding of etiology of patients’ pain.

DATA SOURCES: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL from database inception to October 26, 2023, using truncated key words and MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) terms.

RISK OF BIAS: Two authors assessed each trial with the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 tool.

RESULTS: A total of 8 RCTs including 534 participants were included. Two RCTs evaluating exercise demonstrated that low-load eccentric exercise significantly reduced post-DN soreness, while the other, evaluating isometric vs concentric vs eccentric exercises, did not. Additionally, RCTs evaluating concomitant percutaneous neuromodulation therapy, spray and stretch, and ischemic compression all significantly decreased post-DN soreness compared to placebo. Kinesio taping and verbal suggestions regarding postprocedural soreness had evidence of no effect on post-DN soreness compared to placebo. Meta-analysis was not performed due to clinical heterogeneity.

CONCLUSIONS: There was limited evidence to guide decision-making for clinicians when seeking to decrease post-DN soreness. Four RCTs described positive results of various interventions to decrease post-DN soreness; the results have not been examined in subsequent trials. Low-load eccentric exercise, percutaneous neuromodulation therapy, spray and stretch, and ischemic compression compared favorably to placebo and may benefit from additional study.

Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the development and validation of machine learning (ML) models using data from the first clinical visit to predict ensuing curve progression in individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

DESIGN: Systematic review.

LITERATURE SEARCH: Five databases were searched from inception to March 31, 2023.

STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA: Studies had to include teenagers (10-17 years) with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and internally/externally validated ML models for predicting curve progression.

DATA SYNTHESIS: We used the Checklist for Critical Appraisal and Data Extraction for Systematic Reviews of Prediction Modelling Studies (CHARMS) to guide data extraction, the International Journal of Medical Informatics (IJMEDI) checklist for quality assessments, and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system for evidence certainty.

RESULTS: Seventeen studies with 37 ML models (3701 participants) were included. The models predicted risk, threshold progression, Cobb angles, and curve variations. The IJMEDI checklist identified critical shortcomings in data understanding (60%), preparation (82%), validation (95%), and deployment (95%). Thirty-four ML models showed fair to excellent accuracy, with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranging from 0.70 to 0.93 in most categories.

CONCLUSION: While most models achieved moderate to good accuracy, the certainty of evidence was very low, rendering most models not clinically deployable and lacking external validation. Therefore, these findings should be interpreted with caution. Future research should address these limitations to improve the clinical applicability and external validity.

METHODS: Participants completed a survey including age, sex, height/weight, symptom duration, 11-item Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-11), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ), and 12-item International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12). Participants wore an accelerometer (60 Hz) for 7 days. Predictors of iHOT-12 scores were assessed using a linear regression with forward variable selection.

RESULTS: Forty-one participants (29 females, 12 males; 40.5 ± 14.0 years; 26.7 ± 7.8 kg/m2) with intra-articular nonarthritic hip condition (53.7%), hip osteoarthritis (19.5%), other/multiple diagnoses (17.1%), and extra-articular hip condition (9.8%) were evaluated. Diagnosis groups did not differ in sex, body mass index, physical activity, psychological measures, or patient-reported function ( P≥.09). Participants with hip osteoarthritis (59.8 ± 8.3 years) were older than those with intra-articular nonarthritic hip conditions (33.0 ± 9.7 years) and other/multiple diagnoses (37.4 ± 10.6) ( P<.001). A model containing PSEQ scores, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and TSK-11 scores explained 38% of the variance in iHOT-12 scores ( P<.001), with PSEQ explaining 20% of the variance in iHOT-12 scores alone.

CONCLUSION: Pain self-efficacy and kinesiophobia were associated with patient-reported function in people with chronic hip pain of multiple etiologies. Clinicians may consider screening for psychological factors in this patient population. JOSPT Open 2024;2(3):264-271. Epub 17 April 2024. doi:10.2519/josptopen.2024.1021
Hey Google? When Patients Consult Dr Google About Tendinopathy. An Analysis of Search Terms and Questions From 4 English-Speaking Regions Across 6 Tendons
Authors: Rio Ebonie , Couch Jamon , Perrot Margaret , Ganderton Charlotte
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE: To explore the most common search terms and questions in Google relating to Achilles, patellar, shoulder, elbow, hamstring, and gluteal tendons across 4 English-speaking regions, and determine the most common landing pages for tendon-based searches.

DESIGN: Web-based data appraisal.

METHODS: Tendon-related search terms, inputted by users into the Google search engine, were quantified globally, and subgrouped for 4 English-speaking regions – Australia, United States of America, United Kingdom, and Canada. Search questions related to tendons were searched globally.

RESULTS: Six tendons were searched 2 416 438 times per month globally. Uptake of consensus recommendations were most consistent for the gluteal tendon, where “tendinopathy” was ranked one of the top 20 keyword search terms globally. Tendinopathy did not feature in any of the top patella, elbow, or hamstring-related searches, and vast differences were noted across English-speaking regions for Achilles and shoulder tendon-related searches. Search questions focused on curative treatment globally.

CONCLUSION: Words matter. Uptake of consensus recommended terminology is poor, and practitioners have a role to play in translating consensus recommendations into the public domain. JOSPT Open 2024;2(3):233-239. Epub 20 May 2024. doi:10.2519/josptopen.2024.1129

Objetivo: Avaliar o conhecimento, atitude e prática acerca do exame Papanicolau e verificar a influência de variáveis sociodemográficas e ginecológicas entre mulheres atendidas por uma Unidade Matricial de Saúde no interior de Minas Gerais. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo e com abordagem quantitativa. Resultados: Participaram do estudo um total de 80 mulheres, com idade média de 43,5 anos, variando entre 17 e 70 anos. O conhecimento sobre o exame Papanicolau foi o único que obteve mais adequabilidade (62,5% (n=50)) em relação a atitude (27% (n=22)) e a prática (45% (n=36)), não houve influência de variáveis socioeconômicas e ginecológicas em relação ao conhecimento e prática, porém foi possível observar que mulheres com idade inferior à recomendação do exame (25 a 64 anos) obteve maior índice de inadequação à atitude (p= 0,000) e mulheres com ocupação remunerada possuem maior índice de adequação à atitude (p=0,003). Conclusão: Conclui-se que é necessário intensificar a ações relacionadas ao exame de Papanicolau, enfocando na qualificação e fortalecimento das ações de promoção da saúde.

Cricket is the second most popular spectator sport in the world after football, with an estimated fan base of 2.5 billion people and played professionally or semi-professionally in 108 countries. In the past two decades, with the establishment of newer formats such as Twenty-20, along with the traditional tests and one-day matches, there has been a significant rise in the amount and intensity of cricket being played. It has increased cricket-related injuries among elite athletes. With the rising popularity of cricket, there has also been a rise in cricket-related injuries among children, young adults and the so-called “weekend warriors.” Injuries in cricket can range from craniofacial trauma to lumbar stress injuries, abdominal wall strains, and various upper and lower extremity injuries. Musculoskeletal radiologists are vital to the sports medicine team involved in managing cricket injuries. There is a lacuna in current medical literature on a review of imaging in cricket injuries, and this article aims to address the same.

In this paper, we study whether and how behavior toward newcomers impacts their socialization outcomes in terms of retention and quality of contributions in online communities. By exploiting a natural experiment on a large deal-sharing platform, we find that an intervention that proactively reminds other community members to be more considerate of newcomers causes newcomer deals to receive 54% more comments with a more positive sentiment. The newcomers are 10% more likely to post another deal, suggesting an increase in retention. However, we do not observe any effect of the intervention on the quality of subsequent contributions. Our evidence suggests that the intervention merely caused a temporary shock to newcomers’ first contributions but did not improve their learning or motivate greater efforts. We draw implications on the design of socialization processes to help communities improve the retention and performance of newcomers.
РАЗВИТИЕ МЕХАНИЗМА ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ И РЕАЛИЗАЦИИ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОЙ ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОЙ ПОЛИТИКИ

Аннотация. Низкая результативность процесса государственного стратегирования обоснована перманентным невыполнением целей социально-экономического развития, частой их сменой как на государственном, так и на субфедеральном уровне, отсутствием механизма их согласования с получателями результатов государственного стратегирования, что обуславливает необходимость развития механизма государственного управления, заключающееся в разделении его на два блока: механизм формирования государственной экономической политики и механизм реализации государственной экономической политики и выделении двух уровней его инструментария: инструменты целеполагания (как инструменты базового уровня) и инструменты стимулирования реализации государственной экономической политики. Механизм формирования государственной экономической политики необходимо реализовать с помощью платформенных решений, которые могут быть основой для формирования государственной платформы управления социально-экономическим развитием территории.

В статье представлены результаты анализа развития спортивной индустрии, а именно фитнес-индустрии с учетом управления ее нематериальным активом - интеллектуальной собственностью. Целью исследования является развитие фитнес-объектов посредством качественного управления интеллектуальной собственностью при минимизации правовых рисков использования ее результатов, обеспечение конкурентных позиций и в конечном итоге влияние на улучшение положения потребителя на рынке фитнес-услуг. В современных условиях когда пандемия коронавируса повлияла на прибыльность фитнес-индустрии и в то же время стала стимулом для активного использования онлайн-технологий остро встает проблема удержания клиентов и привлечения новых. Предложение Национального фитнес-сообщества о разработке Минздравом РФ методических рекомендаций для лечебно-профилактических учреждений по включению фитнес-программ в программы реабилитации после COVID-19 не получило поддержки, так как деятельность фитнес-центров связанные с оздоровительной работой, а не с медицинской реабилитацией. До пандемии фитнесом занимались 7 млн человек, после нее потенциальная потребность в реабилитации оценивается в 2,1 млн человек. Востребованность онлайн-занятий можно рассматривать как результат новой концепции потребления физкультурно-оздоровительных услуг (концепции виртуального фитнеса) – шаговой доступности, комплексных оздоровительных программ и программ «тело-дух-душа», что связано с эффективным управлением интеллектуальной собственностью и правовой защитой ее результатов. В то же время недостаточный уровень патентной активности в этой сфере сказывается на конкурентоспособности национальной экономики. В исследовании определено, что современное развитие фитнес-индустрии связано с изменением спроса на фитнес-услуги в сторону использования онлайн-технологий и новой концепции потребления - виртуального фитнеса, предполагающего правовую защиту его интеллектуальной собственности. К одному из направлений повышения культуры управления интеллектуальной собственностью в фитнес-индустрии является создание программы дистанционного обучения (или модуля в программах повышения квалификации в сфере физической культуры и спорта) «Интеллектуальные права в цифровой среде» .
