Culture Fair Intelligence Test (CFIT) merupakan alat ukur inteligensi nonverbal yang popular digunakan untuk kepentingan pemeriksaan psikologis. Bentuk tes yang berupa soal gambar dengan pilihan ganda pada CFIT dapat meningkatkan peluang munculnya perilaku menebak yang dilakukan subjek tes. Perilaku menebak akan meningkat ketika subjek terdorong untuk mengerjakan sebanyak mungkin persoalan yang belum pasti apakah mereka mengetahui jawaban persoalan tersebut. Perilaku ini dapat mempengaruhi validitas hasil tes dalam membedakan subjek tes yang berkualitas dan yang kurang berkualitas. Hingga kini, penelitian terkait properti psikometrik CFIT masih terbatas, terutama terkait peluang guessing. Penelitian kali ini bertujuan untuk melakukan pengujian terhadap dugaan bahwa alat ukur CFIT 3A memiliki tingkat guessing behavior tinggi dengan menganalisis menggunakan metode Item Response Theory (IRT). Sampel penelitian ini adalah 1,955 partisipan dan hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berdasarkan pemodelan IRT 3 PL, aitem-aitem dalam alat ukur CFIT 3A masih layak digunakan. Namun, CFIT 3A mengandung aitem dengan tingkat guessing yang tidak dapat diterima sebesar 12% dari jumlah aitem keseluruhan. Hasil uji kecocokan model dengan teknik Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) sebagai analisis tambahan menunjukkan bahwa CFIT memiliki validitas konstruknya yang baik. Diharapkan hasil penelitian dapat memberikan informasi terkini mengenai kualitas aitem CFIT 3A dan menjadi acuan bagi penelitian lain yang relevan di masa yang akan datang.

Atherosclerosis and type II diabetes can be classified as lifestyle diseases. Unbalanced diet (highly processed food, excess salt food), a sedentary lifestyle and the use of stimulants (cigarettes, alcohol) can contribute to the emergence of both diseases. Both these diseases can coexist simultaneously. The development of type 2 diabetes may accelerate the development of atherosclerotic plaque, which in turn leads to many organ complications as well as death. People with slightly elevated glucose and cholesterol levels can be advised to take natural plant ingredients such as garlic and ginger along with changing their diet and increasing physical activity. garlic and ginger can be consumed alone as well as an addition to many dishes. In vitro and in vivo and clinical tests indicate the possibility of supporting the regulation of blood glucose and cholesterol levels by adding garlic and ginger to the diet.

Licorice has been used in medicine for ancient times. Licorice root contains active compounds with different activities: saponins, flavonoids, coumarins and essential oil. It shows diverse biological properties. This article presents current achievements with clinical trials and creates new possibilities to use licorice in therapy. It has been proved effectiveness of licorice preparations in infectious diseases of respiratory tract, aphthous stomatitis, in dermatoses and also in skin care. The conducted researches on licorice preparations, especially DGL, present on the pharmaceutical market, which are recommended in gastrointestinal ulceration, have not proved their anti-ulcerative effect. The results of some clinical trials may, however, raise doubts due to the small groups and sometimes the lack of randomization or standardization of the studied preparation. Due to its sweet taste, it is used as a corrigens.

Published: August 2021

The paper reviews the research on the antitumor activity of propolis components belonging to different, previously (Part 1 and 2), not discussed chemical groups. The in vitro (human and animal cancer cell lines) and in vivo tests performed showed differentiated cytotoxic activity of the tested compounds (IC50 from 2 to > 100.0 g/ml), including weak, moderate or strong (IC50 = 4.0 μg/ml). The strongest cytotoxic activity was shown by prenylated aromatic acids (artepillin C), isoflavones (mucronulatol) and prenylated benzophenones (nemorosan and plukenethione). The studies also showed a reduction in the degree of neoplastic metastases to various organs under the influence of the test substances (83.0%), as well as inhibition of neoplastic cells (90%) compared to control cultures.

Published: August 2021

Auditory processing disorders (APD) are characterized by a reduction in the efficiency of auditory processing, which results in a deficit in identifying and interpreting sounds by the brain. In 2017, auditory processing disorders were awarded an individual diagnostic code. Symptoms that indicate the presence of auditory processing disorders are numerous and non-specific. The primary symptom of impaired auditory processing is difficulty understanding speech in noise. This disorder affects about 5-7% of children. Most often, the result of at least two tests included in the set is considered to be the determinant which constitutes the basis for the diagnosis of disorders. In the diagnostic and therapeutic process of children with auditory processing disorders, the correct diagnosis is of key importance, thanks to which it will be possible to conduct an appropriate treatment. All therapeutic methods, tasks activating auditory perception and language skills should be selected reliably, individually for each participant of the therapy. The use of the so-called auditory training during corrective-compensatory and speech therapy classes in children with central auditory processing disorders should be the standard. It is the main method of treating children with central hearing impairment. Auditory training includes auditory education based on stimulating child’s auditory predispositions and on developing the ability to use them in order to gain better orientation in the environment. At present, therapists in Poland may use various types of therapeutic interactions that have a positive impact on the development of a child’s hearing skills. The aim of the work is to discuss auditory training and to present speech therapy exercises helpful in the therapeutic process of children with auditory processing disorders.

Quíchua e espanhol nas salas de aula na Argentina
Authors: Toranzos Romina Leonor
Published: August 2021

Na Argentina, diferentes disciplinas têm-se preocupado com aspectos referentes aos estudos das práticas educativas de alunos bolivianos e pesquisado, dentre outras questões, a respeito do silêncio evidenciado nesse contexto. Além das condutas relacionadas ao silêncio dos alunos, acontecem outras práticas linguísticas no interior das salas de aula, as quais exigem domínio do espanhol, ignorando, em muitos casos, o fato de que se tratam de estudantes que têm como língua materna uma língua indígena. Levando em conta esses fatos, este trabalho visa apontar possíveis caminhos para repensar tais silêncios, que parecem estar fortemente unidos a uma prática cultural, e também refletir sobre a importância do papel dos educadores nesse contexto intercultural. O trabalho foi organizado em quatro partes. Primeiramente, apresentamos aspectos relativos à imigração boliviana para a Argentina, seguido de uma breve explicação sobre a configuração de carga negativa e o preconceito que recaem sobre membros da comunidade boliviana. Posteriormente, realizamos uma revisão de trabalhos que abordam a questão do silêncio relacionado ao fracasso escolar de alunos bolivianos, além de alguns outros trabalhos sobre os silêncios de falantes de línguas indígenas de outras comunidades. Mais tarde, sob consideração dos aportes da Sociolinguística Educacional (BORTONI RICARDO, 2003; CYRANKA, 2014), será apresentada a análise das entrevistas realizadas com jovens e adultos bolivianos, que retratam sua visão no que diz respeito às próprias lembranças e experiências no contexto escolar argentino, em relação à língua, aos silêncios e aos processos de estigmatização. Por fim, esboçamos algumas reflexões quanto a possibilidade de ação a partir da formação dos educadores.
O pretuguês e a internacionalização da língua e da cultura brasileira - afinal, que língua queremos internacionalizar?
Authors: Santos José Lucas Campos Antunes dos
Published: August 2021

O artigo propõe uma revisão do ideal homogêneo de língua nacional. Para tanto, enviesa a discussão sob uma perspectiva decolonial (ALMEIDA, 2020; GOMES, 2009; GONZALEZ, 2020) sobre a constituição política, cultural e linguística de amefricanidade (GONZALEZ, 2020) como resultado dos processos de gramaticalização do português europeu em pretoguês, ao longo do período colonial até os dias atuais. Por este caminho, trata dos processos de gramatização (AUROUX, 2009) que inauguram o estatuto da Língua Portuguesa, em desconformidade com as transformações sofridas pela língua. Dessa forma, busca-se lançar luz sobre a ideia de língua nacional como uma amarra perpétua do laço colonial e escravocrata que funda a modernidade e seus desdobramentos no processo de internacionalização (e ensino) do português brasileiro como língua estrangeira, explorando como as intersecções entre língua e raça atuaram/atuam sobre o paradigma hegemônico instalado na ideia de língua nacional. E a partir desse lugar afrorreferenciado de língua e cultura brasileira pensar suas interfaces nos processos de internacionalização, bem como o entre-lugar (BHABHA, 2007) de mediação crítico-reflexiva do professor para uma postura antirracista no ensino do português brasileiro como língua estrangeira.
Information technologies in healthcare: features of sectoral implementing
Authors: Soboleva S. U. , Golikov V. V. , Tazhibov A. A.
Published: August 2021

The article investigates the features of the industrial application of information technologies in healthcare. Information technologies have become not only an integral part of economic and social life, but also in some sectors the leading basis for the implementation of activities. At the same time, there are both basic formats of their application that do not depend on a specific sphere, and specific ones that are characteristic of each specific industry. The ratio of ordinary and unique programs varies depending on the application area. Healthcare is characterized by a large number of unique technological products that directly help in the treatment of patients, and at the same time, there is a shortage of basic, including managerial digital technologies, which are either completely absent or are implemented to a small extent.

Currently, several digital projects are in the process of development and implementation, aimed at optimizing interaction not only at the doctor–doctor level, but also at the doctor–patient level. The main tasks of these projects, in addition to automating an appointment with a doctor, medical examination, preferential medicines, regardless of the region where the patient is located, are to achieve solutions to issues related to the problems of early diagnosis of diseases remotely and in a short time. The need for this was clearly demonstrated by the coronavirus pandemic.

Professional Baseball Player Type and Geographic Region of Origin Impacts Shoulder External and Internal Rotation Strength
Authors: Michener Lori A. , Barrack Adam J. , Liebeskind Bernard Y. , Zerega Ryan J. , Sum Jonathan C. , Crotin Ryan L. , Plummer Hillary A.
Published: August 2021

Background

Shoulder strength deficits are implicated in arm injuries and performance deficits in baseball players.

Purpose

To characterize shoulder external (ER) and internal (IR) rotation strength in professional baseball players, and compare strength across player type (pitchers, position players) and geographic origin (North America, Latin America).

Study Design

Cross-sectional.

Methods

Minor league professional baseball players from North America and Latin America (n=242; age=22.4±2.3 years; n=135 pitchers and n=107 position players; n=162 North American and n=80 Latin American players) volunteered at spring training. Bilateral shoulder IR and ER isometric strength was measured in sitting with the arm at the side using a handheld dynamometer stabilized on a wall via a specialized jig. Strength was normalized to body weight, and compared using t-tests between player type and geographic area of origin (p < 0.05).

Results

Position players had greater strength in ER, IR and ER:IR (ER:0.7-2.7N/kg; IR:1.3-3.8N/kg; ER:IR ratio 0.36-1.22) compared to pitchers (ER:0.5-2.5N/kg; IR:0.6- 4.2N/kg; ER:IR ratio 0.44-1.16) on the throwing arm. North American pitchers had lower ER [MD= -0.4 (95%CI:-0.7,-0.2);p=0.002] and IR [MD= -0.2 (95%CI:-0.4,-0.1);p=0.006] than Latin American pitchers on the throwing arm. There were no differences between geographic groups for position players.

Discussion/Conclusions

Player position and geographic origin influence shoulder rotational strength values in professional baseball players. Position players have 14 – 20% higher ER and IR isometric strength than pitchers. Moreover, Latin American pitchers exhibited 11.8% greater ER strength and 16.7% greater IR strength as compared to North American pitchers. Normative values can be used to determine player deficits, declines in performance, and targets for return to play after injury.

Attributes, Attitudes, and Motivations of Personnel Involved with Sports Physical Therapy Residency Training
Authors: Mulligan Edward P
Published: August 2021

Background

Post-professional residency training in sports physical therapy has undergone rapid growth since its inception over 20 years ago with 58 programs currently accredited.

Purpose

The purpose of this survey was to describe and contrast the demographics, motivations, and selection influences from the perspective of both potential training applicants and program faculty.

Study Design

Cross-sectional descriptive survey

Methods

156 physical therapists identified as stakeholders in sports residency and fellowship training were invited to participate in a 115-item survey. Descriptive measures of central tendencies to describe the data and Mann Whitney Rank Sum tests were used to detect differences between the perspectives of applicants and faculty.

Results

50 program faculty and 57 applicants responded to the survey for a 69% response rate. Motivations for post-professional training categorized as extremely important were largely intrinsic behavioral modifiers centering on improved knowledge, skills, and outcomes while satisfying a passion for sports specialty training and enhancing job opportunities in the field. 7 of the 10 highest rated application motivations were rated as significantly more important by applicants than faculty members (p<0.05). The two most highly rated influences for choosing to apply to a specific residency site were the perception for subsequent job opportunities and perceived relationship and qualifications with the residency director and staff. The importance of job opportunities in sports PT was rated much higher by the applicant than the faculty (p=0.003).

Conclusions

While the motivations for residency training may be slightly different between groups the importance of information acquisition and methods for residency selection criteria seem more congruent. Residency faculty may underestimate the importance of some of the most important motivations that prompt interest in residency training. Recognition of these factors may alter the presentation and content design of residency curriculums.
Does Daily Physical Activity Differ Between Patients with Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome and Patients with Hip Dysplasia? A Cross-Sectional Study in 157 Patients and 60 Healthy Volunteers
Authors: Reimer Lisa C. U. , Kierkegaard Signe , Mechlenburg Inger , Jacobsen Julie S.
Published: August 2021

Background

The clinical presentation of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and acetabular hip dysplasia (HD) are similar. However, the groups seem to differ regarding physical activity (PA) and sport.

Purpose

The aim was to compare PA between three groups; patients with FAIS, patients with HD, and healthy volunteers. A secondary purpose was to compare self-reported function in sport and recreation (sport/recreation) between patients with FAIS and HD.

Study Design

This study is a cross-sectional study on 157 patients with FAIS or HD and 60 healthy controls.

Methods

PA was measured with accelerometer-based sensors, and sport/recreation was measured with the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS). Data on patients with FAIS or HD and healthy volunteers were collected in other studies and merged for comparison in this study.

Results

Fifty-five patients with FAIS (20 males; mean age 36 years), 97 patients with HD (15 males; mean age 30 years) and 60 healthy volunteers (24 males; mean age 31 years) were included. Compared with patients with HD, patients with FAIS spent more time on very low intensity PA (mean 73 minutes (95% CI: 45;102)) and less time on low intensity PA per day (mean -21 minutes (95% CI: -37;-6)). Both groups spent less time on high intensity PA per day compared with healthy volunteers (p≤0.03). However, sport/recreation did not differ between the two groups (FAIS: median 34 points (IQR: 22;50) and HD: median 38 points (IQR: 25;53), p=0.16).

Conclusion

Patients with FAIS appear to be less physical active compared with patients with HD. However, both groups seem to perform less high intensity PA compared with healthy volunteers. This is interesting, as self-reported function in sport/recreation does not differ between patients with FAIS and HD. Thus, high intensity PA seems to be a key outcome in the management of patients with FAIS and HD.

Safety and Effectiveness of a Perturbation-based Neuromuscular Training Program on Dynamic Balance in Adolescent Females: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Bulow Alison , Anderson Judith E , Leiter Jeff R S , MacDonald Peter B , Peeler Jason D
Published: August 2021

Background

Adolescent females are at much greater risk for ACL injury than their male counterparts when participating in the same sports. Preventative and pre-operative rehabilitation neuromuscular (NM) exercise programs are often recommended to improve knee function and reduce injury rates. The effectiveness of perturbation-based NM training program has been established in an adult population but has yet to be investigated in the at-risk adolescent female population.

Purpose

To determine the effectiveness of a perturbation-based NM exercise program in a group of physically active adolescent females.

Study Design

Prospective randomized trial.

Methods

Twenty-four healthy and an exploratory group of 10 ACL-injured females (ages 12-18) were equally randomized into a perturbation-based NM training or control group and evaluated before and after a five-week intervention period. The primary outcome of dynamic balance was measured using the Y-Balance test (YBT); secondary outcome measures included lower limb strength, proprioception, and flexibility.

Results

The perturbation-based NM training intervention was safely completed by all participants but had no significant effect on YBT scoring, lower limb strength, proprioception or flexibility in either the healthy or ACL-injured groups.

Conclusions

Perturbation-based NM training is safe, but may offer little preventative benefit for healthy or pre-operative rehabilitation benefit for ACL-injured adolescent females. Future research should examine whether the effectiveness of perturbation-based NM training is influenced by the length of the training intervention, training intensity, or when it is combined with other forms of prophylactic or pre-surgical rehabilitation frequently used with at-risk adolescent females who regularly participate in sport.

Overuse Injury, Substance Use, and Resilience in Collegiate Female Athlete
Authors: Martin Chelsea L , Shanley Ellen , Harnish Chris , Knab Amy M , Christopher Shefali , Vallabhajosula Srikant , Bullock Garrett S
Published: August 2021

Background

Overuse injury is a common stressor experienced by female collegiate athletes and is often underreported. In response, athletes may develop negative coping skills such as substance use. Alternatively, resilience is a modifiable trait that may positively influence response to musculoskeletal injuries and substance use.

Purpose

To provide an updated epidemiological profile of overuse injury and substance use and examine the relationship between resilience, overuse injury, and substance use among collegiate female athletes.

Design

Cross-sectional study

Methods

Two-hundred and thirty female collegiate athletes were classified into overuse injury and resilience groups. Overuse injury, pain, and substance use incidence proportions (IP) were calculated. Kruskal-Wallis analyses were performed to investigate differences in substance use among resilience groups. Analyses of covariance were performed to evaluate differences in overuse injuries, substantial overuse injuries, and time loss injuries, among resilience groups.

Results

IP for pain was 45.0% (95% CI: 38.2-51.9); Overuse injury 52.0% (45.1-58.9); Alcohol use 35.1% (28.6-41.6); Electronic cigarette use 19.5% (14.6-24.9); Cigarette use 2.8% (6-5.1); and Drug use 3.3% (0.9-5.8). No significant differences were found between resilience groups for the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center Overuse Injury Questionnaire (OSTRC) variables (Pain: p=0.102; Overuse injury: p=0.331; Substantial overuse injury: p=0.084; Not playing: p=0.058), alcohol (p=0.723), or combined substance use (p=0.069).

Conclusions

Pain and overuse injury prevalence is high among female collegiate athletes. Alcohol followed by electronic cigarette use were the most commonly utilized substances. No significant differences were identified in substance use or overuse injury presentation between resilience groups, though further investigation is warranted.

Item-level and Composite-level Interrater Reliability of Functional Movement Screen™ Scores Following Condensed Training in Novice Raters
Authors: Harper Brent A , Glass Stephen M
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND

The Functional Movement Screen™ (FMS™) is a clinical instrument designed to use movement behaviors to screen individuals for injury risk. Current rater certification programs focus on extensive, individualized training, which may not be appropriate in all screening contexts.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of a two-hour FMSTM training seminar on measures of reliability between previously untrained scorers.

STUDY DESIGN

Repeated measures, descriptive cohort study.

METHODS

Four novice raters completed a two-hour training course administered by an FMS™-certified, licensed physical therapist. The novices and the instructor then scored a group of 16 individuals on the seven FMS™ component tests on two separate occasions. Interrater reliability was assessed for FMS™ component scores using Fleiss’ kappa and Krippendorff’s α. Interrater reliability for the FMS™ composite score was assessed using a two-way ICC for agreement (a priori significance level=0.05).

RESULTS

Reliability ranged from fair to almost perfect (kappa) for Deep Squat (0.61 Day 1, 0.79 Day 2), Shoulder Mobility (0.90 Day 1, 1.00 Day 2), Active Straight Leg Raise (0.53 Day 1, 0.69 Day 2), and Trunk Stability Push Up (0.48 Day 1, 0.49 Day 2) on both testing occurrences (p<0.05). Reliability (kappa) was fair for Inline Lunge (0.24 Day 1, 0.39 Day 2), and poor for Hurdle Step (Day 1 -0.01, Day 2 no result) and Rotary Stability (Day 1 -0.03, Day 2 -0.01). Results for Krippendorff’s α were similar, with unacceptable interrater reliability for Hurdle Step (Day 1 -0.01, Day 2 1.00), Inline Lunge (Day 1 0.31, Day 2 0.39), and Rotary Stability (Day 1 -0.02, Day 2 -0.01). Interrater composite score reliability (ICC) was good (0.79 Day 1, 0.84 Day 2; both p<0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

Findings suggest that a brief training seminar may be sufficient to ensure acceptable reliability in many, but not all, of the FMS™ component tests and composite score.

Вплив гірудотерапії на репродуктивну функцію лабораторних щурів
Authors: Амінов Р. Ф. , Фролов О. К. , Амінова А. С.
Published: August 2021

Згідно з останніми даними щодо ветеринарії та сільського господарства одним із важливих чинників зменшення поголів’я у тваринництві є порушення фертильності тварин. Тому актуальним завданням постає пошук різних методів, які сприятимуть зменшенню безпліддя. Особливу увагу привертають природні фактори, до яких належить і гірудотерапія – використання медичних п’явок, біологічно активні речовини яких мають широкий спектр терапевтичних ефектів. Тому метою нашої роботи стало дослідження впливу медичної п’явки на репродуктивну функцію самців щурів, які є загальноприйнятою моделлю в біологічних і доклінічних експериментах. Роботу виконано на 40 нелінійних білих самцях та 40 самицях щурів вагою 250–270 г і віком 6,5–7 місяців та їх новонародженому приплоді. Дослідження проводили на тваринах, які пройшли карантинний режим і не мали зовнішніх проявів захворювання. Для проведення дослідження на самцях було сформовано дві групи тварин – контрольну й експериментальну. Дослідним самцям після їх фіксації робили приставки на куприкову зону медичної п’явки Hirudo verbana із середньою вагою 1,1±0,2 г один раз на тиждень (двічі перед спарюванням і двічі після спарювання з інтактними самицями). Фіксуючі маніпуляції робили також із контрольними самцями, проте без приставок п’явок, після чого їх спарювали з інтактними самицями. Дослід із самцями тривав протягом 1 місяця, із самицями – до народження в них приплоду. У самців досліджували вагу тіла, лімфоїдних органів та надсім’яників, враховували загальну кількість сперматозоїдів і їх фертильність. В інтактних самиць визначали загальну кількість приплоду та їх вагу. Згідно з експериментальними даними в дослідних самців за гірудологічного впливу відбувається збільшення ваги тіла (на 16,8%) та лімфоїдних органів (тимус – на 23,0%, селезінка – на 11,5%) порівняно з контрольною групою тварин (р<0,05). Наші експериментальні дані доводять, що гірудологічний вплив також сприяв позитивній стимуляції показників репродуктивної функції самців: збільшувалася вага надсім’яників, кількість сперматозоїдів в еякуляті з паралельним зниженням морфологічно дефектних гамет серед них порівняно з інтактними тваринами. Стимуляція репродуктивних ознак у дослідної групи самців сприяла підвищенню фертильності в інтактних до гірудологічного впливу самиць, які народжували більший за кількістю й вагою приплід із майже нульовою їх смертністю.

Це дослідження спрямоване на визначення найважливіших предикторів короткострокової смертності пацієнтів із гепаторенальним синдромом за допомогою шкали CLIF-C-ACLF. У дослідженні взяли участь 109 пацієнтів із алкогольним цирозом печінки, ускладненим гепаторенальним синдромом, госпіталізованих до Чернівецького обласного наркологічного диспансеру із січня 2013 року по серпень 2019 року. На момент включення у дослідження пацієнтам було від 29 до 60 років. Середня тривалість алкогольного цирозу печінки (АЦП) становила 3,5±1,54 року; середній анамнез зловживання алкоголем – 8,42±3,53 року; розподіл за статтю становив: 77,9% (n=85) чоловіків та 22,1% (n=24) – жінок. Усі пацієнти отримували стандартну терапію та були розподілені на 2 групи залежно від реакції на лікування: група 1 (n = 57) – респондери, група 2 (n = 52) – нон-респондери. Кількість пацієнтів, які вижили через 1 та 3 місяці, суттєво різнилася в обох групах: 40/57 (70,2%) та 33/57 (57,9%) відповідно у групі респондерів; та 10/52 (19,2%) та 0/52 (0%) відповідно у групі нон-респондерів (p <0,001). Оцінки ймовірності виживання для кожного з членів групи були знайдені за допомогою тесту Каплана-Мейєра. Тип 1 гепаторенального синдрому, відсутність відповіді на лікування протягом перших 24 годин та високий базовий бал за шкалою CLIF-C-ACLF були визначені як предиктори короткострокової смертності. Поліпшення функції нирок під час лікування спостерігалось у більшості пацієнтів групи 1: зниження рівня креатиніну в сироватці крові у респондерів становило від 323,2±91,1 до 121,6±30,0 ммоль/л. Результати дослідження вказують на те, що тип 1 гепаторенального синдрому, відсутність відповіді на лікування протягом перших 24 годин та високий бал CLIF-C-ACLF є найважливішими предикторами виживання у пацієнтів із гепаторенальним синдромом. Моніторинг цих показників дозволяє визначити групу пацієнтів з найгіршим прогнозом та поставити їх на перше місце у списку для трансплантації печінки.

Educational technology is the study and practice of using technology to facilitate and enhance learning performance. During the Covid-19 pandemic, digital learning and the use of information technology were one of the solutions to minimize the risk of Covid-19, according to the government's health protocol. As a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), the Dharma Laksana Orphanage receives computer set donations from their funders. Based on preliminary reviews, the use of these computer devices is not optimal, both for students and teachers. The inability to optimize the use of computer devices seems to have an impact on the effectiveness of learning approaches by utilizing information technology. This Community Service was performed using the Service Learning methodology and was designed to assist in the development of human resources related to learning methods and media used during the Covid-19 pandemic. During this activity, Edmodo, the leading social learning platform, was successfully introduced. Blended Learning with Google Apps is also covered. It increased both student and teacher awareness of digital learning, as well as teacher competence in creating interactive learning media, by introducing a variety of educational platforms.

Predicting the Future of Healthcare and eHealth with the Futures Wheel Method
Authors: Kouri Pirkko , Hopia Hanna , Hakala Anne
Published: August 2021

By using information and communication technology (ICT), eHealth is a key enabler in improving healthcare, specifically its efficiency, productivity, quality, and patient satisfaction. Whilst eHealth applies technical developments to healthcare services, it is also about managing, finding, using, recording, and transmitting information to support health-related decisions. Moreover, eHealth encompasses a broad approach and commitment to improving healthcare through networking and co-operation. Thus healthcare providers need to have sufficient tools to predict and involve the possible futures of healthcare, specifically in the context of continuous eHealth development, implementation and innovations. This paper introduces the Futures Wheel (FW) method, describes the process for its use and some of its outcomes as a tool by which to achieve these goals. Based on experiences from over 60 FW working groups, the authors suggest that the FW method helps to see the possible futures of healthcare and eases the necessary adaptation inherent in eHealth.  The FW method provides information and knowledge that professionals can utilise both to influence their future and to gain knowledge about alternative futures. The FW method is suggested for healthcare professionals who want to predict alternative futures of healthcare and eHealth in order to make important decisions that may have far-reaching consequences.

Analyses of DNA Damage in the Patient’s Lymphocyte Cells Post-Radiotherapy
Radiotherapy given in high doses to kill cancer cells can also induce DNA damage in surrounding normal cells. The radiation dose is divided into smaller doses called fractionation to decrease the effect of radiation on normal tissue. For this reason, it is necessary to monitor the peripheral blood lymphocytes to evaluate the patient's DNA damage. The alkaline comet test is a simple and sensitive technique for detecting DNA instability. This study involved 11 patients who underwent radiotherapy up to 20 Gy, and 11 healthy subjects as controls. This study aims to see how much DNA damage is caused by a 20 Gy fractionated radiation dose in patients with various cancers. The results showed that the mean frequency of damaged cells in patients was 80.54 ± 12.52% with a mean comet tail length of 49.98 ± 12.93 µm. There was a significant difference in both the frequency of damaged cells and the mean value of the comet tail length against the control group (p < 0.001). It was concluded that high doses of radiation can cause DNA damage to peripheral blood lymphocytes.
Radioterapi yang diberikan dalam dosis tinggi untuk mematikan sel kanker juga dapat menginduksi kerusakan DNA pada sel normal di sekitarnya. Dosis radiasi dibagi menjadi dosis yang lebih kecil yang disebut fraksinasi untuk menurunkan efek radiasi pada jaringan normal. Untuk itu perlu pemantauan pada limfosit darah tepi untuk mengevaluasi kerusakan DNA pasien. Uji komet alkali merupakan teknik yang sederhana dan sensitif untuk mendeteksi ketidakstabilan DNA. Penelitian ini melibatkan 11 pasien yang menjalani radioterapi hingga 20 Gy, dan 11 subyek sehat sebagai kontrol. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat seberapa besar kerusakan DNA akibat dosis radiasi fraksinasi 20 Gy pada pasien dengan variasi kanker. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rerata frekuensi sel yang rusak pada pasien 80,54 ± 12,52% dengan rerata panjang ekor komet 49,98 ± 12,93 µm terdapat perbedaan nyata baik pada frekuensi sel yang rusak maupun nilai rerata panjang ekor komet terhadap kelompok kontrol (p < 0,001). Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa radiasi dosis tinggi dapat menyebabkan kerusakan DNA sel limfosit darah tepi.

Published: August 2021

Situ Gunung Natural Tourism area as part of Gunung Gede Pangrango Natural Park utilization zone is a popular natural tourism destination. Therefore, the assessment on objects and attraction natural tourism attraction of Situ Gunung (ODTWASG) based on the satisfaction of management as the supply and visitors as the demand is essential to identify object and nature attraction that ecologically, socially, and economically need to be improved or maintained by the managers. The assessment results data were then processed and analyzed by using conformity scale method and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA). The results showed that there was one unsatisfying attribute on both parties in economic scale, i.e., the making of suspension bridge. Besides, there were two attributes of economic ODTWASG that have not been managed optimally. Thus, it has not contributed to customer satisfaction, which were food and beverages prices at the food court as well as water tourism object entrance fee. Therefore, ODTWASG supply optimization could focus on these two economic attributes; first, setting and adjusting the attribute of food and beverages prices, and second, improving water tourism quality. 

Key words: Importance Performance Analysis (IPA), satisfaction, supply and demand
