Published: December 2024

This quasi-experimental action research aimed to determine the effectiveness of a Personalized Instruction for Reading Comprehension (PIRC) reading intervention tool among a select group of Grade 7 learners enrolled at a public local high school in Sta. Cruz, Zambales for the Academic School Year 2022-2023. Through a quasi-experimental approach, 35 students from the STE class were explicitly selected as respondents. A one-group pretest and posttest design was utilized to determine the changes in the reading comprehension abilities of the respondents. Students' common reading comprehension difficulties included difficulty in identifying the meanings of unfamiliar words, focusing on long texts, answering follow-up questions, and understanding instructions; impatience, short attention span, negative thinking, and difficulty in following instructions. Based on the recorded results, the selected students improved their reading comprehension skills during the posttest session. The PIRC tool is highly recommended for future use by educators and teachers handling reading classes, with suggestions for prolonging the time allotted for the tool, designating certain days for breakout sessions, conducting a pretest to carefully identify the target weaknesses of the students, applying more ICT-based activities and tools, and conducting daily meetings for the group sessions.
Pagsasalin ng mga Kuwentong Bayan Bilang Ambag sa Preserbasyon ng Kultura (Translation of Folktales as a Contribution to Cultural Preservation)
Authors: Guinabang Samantha Caine , Dio-as Faustina
Published: December 2024

Regional literature such as folktales serves to educate readers about cultures that differ from theirs to broaden their perspectives and understanding to avoid ethnocentrism, judgment, and criticism of cultures they are unaware of. However, language often becomes a barrier to understanding regional literature. Thus, it is necessary to translate it into a language that is widely understood by many. The researcher identified the characteristics of a folktale to be translated into Filipino, collected folktales, and evaluated the level of validation and acceptance of the translation. Mixed methods research was utilized, wherein the researcher conducted interviews, contextual analysis, and statistical analysis. Based on the study's findings, folktales should reflect Filipino cultures, values, and current social issues for them to be translated into Filipino. From these characteristics, five folktales from Tadian, Mountain Province were selected and translated – Senga, Gipi, Estoryan Bedodoy, Baddangaw at Nan Babae ed Buwan. The level of validation was carefully reviewed and based on statistical results, the translations are fully agreed upon. The level of acceptance of the translation was analyzed and found to be very acceptable. These findings are relevant in identifying the characteristics that should be reflected when translating native folktales to Filipino. Recommendations suggest using this study as a basis for translating folktales of another town; translating other folk tales of our country to cultivate our literature; and these folktales can also be used to teach regional literature and culture.

Authors:   Northern Naguilan National High School, Naguilian, La Union, Philippines, Arranz Antonette
Published: December 2024

on-English language major teachers have become part of the mainstream who teaches English courses. This study investigated the profile of the studies on non-English language major teachers who are teaching English subjects in terms of location and methodology; the reasons/factors that led to their deployment; their identified difficulties; and the research gaps in the reviewed literature. Furthermore, this study used systematic literature review as its research design and repertory grid as the data gathering instrument. Data came from studies that are accessed on multiple databases which are screened based on the given inclusion and exclusion criteria. Frequency, percentage, coding, and thematization were used to treat data. Due to professional positioning and the very limited number of qualified English language teachers, non-English language major teachers are hired to handle English subjects. In the process, they experience difficulties in language skills, teaching pedagogy, and insufficient educational background. Hence, further studies should also delve into support from internal and external stakeholders, more participants, new policies in English language teaching, and modernized English teaching pedagogy to boost the competence of the non-English language major teachers.

Authors: Nikbakht Jafar , Panahi Kokhdan Esmaeel , Sadeghi Hossein , Sadeghi Heibatollah , Khoshnood Maryam , Azarmehr Nahid , Abbasi Reza
Published: December 2024

Background: Cyclophosphamide (CP) can induce severe hepatotoxicity in certain patients by generating oxidative molecules and increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS). There are limited reports on the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of sildenafil. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sildenafil on CP-induced hepatotoxicity. Methods: Animals were randomly divided into five groups (n = 6): Group 1 (control) received water distillate by gavage. Group 2 received CP (200 mg/kg) intraperitoneally to induce hepatotoxicity. Group 3 was orally administered sildenafil (75 mg/kg) along with CP (200 mg/kg), while Group IV received vitamin E (500 mg/kg) and CP (200 mg/kg). Group V was administered 75 mg/kg of sildenafil, 200 mg/kg of CP, and 500 mg/kg of vitamin E. At the end of the experiment, blood samples were collected from the animals' hearts to measure serum levels of liver enzymes, including aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), as well as oxidative stress markers malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). Liver tissue was also collected for assessment of antioxidant enzyme activity, including catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), along with histological examination. Results: The CP-treated group exhibited significant increases in AST, ALT, MDA, and NO levels, while CAT, SOD, GPx, and FRAP levels were markedly lower in the CP group compared to the saline group (P ≤ 0.01). Administration of sildenafil, alone and in combination with vitamin E, significantly reduced levels of AST, ALT, MDA, and NO. Meanwhile, antioxidant enzyme activity was markedly enhanced following sildenafil and vitamin E intake (P ≤ 0.01). Additionally, histological analysis confirmed sildenafil's hepatoprotective properties. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that sildenafil, both alone and in combination with vitamin E, was effective in reducing CP-induced liver toxicity through antioxidant mechanisms. Therefore, these findings suggest that sildenafil, especially when combined with vitamin E, may serve as a complementary therapy to mitigate the hepatotoxic effects of CP.

Authors: Rinaldi Rifo , Sejati Hono , Susilowati Tri
Published: December 2024

The concern in Indonesia is that explicit regulations addressing this issue still need to be improved. This study aims to analyze the legal dilemmas surrounding diploma retention, identify weaknesses in current regulations, and propose solutions to protect employee rights. Using a normative juridical approach, this research employs statutory and conceptual methodologies. Data were collected through document analysis of legal statutes, employment agreements, and relevant legal literature. The findings indicate that ambiguity in regulatory frameworks concerning legal sanctions leads to repeated violations and construction failures.  The findings reveal that diploma retention as collateral needs a solid legal foundation, creating an imbalance of power that disadvantages employees. The study highlights the novelty of examining diplomas as collateral within the broader principles of collateral law, offering new perspectives on their inapplicability as valid collateral objects. By proposing clear regulatory frameworks and alternative approaches, such as proportional penalties, the study contributes to safeguarding workers’ rights while addressing employers' concerns. These findings aim to promote fairness and legal certainty in employment practices.

Psychosocial development is negatively correlated with political extremism
Authors: Martin Tim , Hartin Travis , Vonnahme Paul
Published: December 2024

Previous research indicates that in college samples there is a positive correlation between psychosocial development and economic conservatism. We tested the generality of this relationship with a nationally representative sample of respondents from the United States. The result was instead consistent with an alternative hypothesis that psychosocial development is related to political extremism. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an association between psychosocial development and political orientation.
Women and Men, Harm and Censoriousness: Sex-Differentiated Reactions to Information About Sex Differences
Authors: Bleske-Rechek April , Dobson Ryan T. , Lay Parker S. , Witthun Kora B. , Johnson Wesley N. , Bernstein Michael H.
Published: December 2024

Some of the most controversial information in psychology involves genetic or evolutionary explanations for sex differences in educational-vocational outcomes (Clark et al., 2024a). We investigated whether men and women react differently to controversial information about sex differences and whether their reaction depends on who provides the information. In the experiment, college students (n=396) and U.S. middle-aged adults (n=154) reviewed a handout, purportedly provided by either a male or a female professor. The handout stated that (1) women in STEM are no longer discriminated against in hiring and publishing and (2) sex differences in educational-vocational outcomes are better explained by evolved differences between men and women in various personal attributes. We found that college women were less receptive to the information than college men were and wanted to censor it more than men did; also, in both the college student and community adult samples, women were less receptive and more censorious when the messenger was a male professor than when the messenger was a female professor. In both samples, participants who leaned to the left politically and who held stronger belief that words can cause harm reacted with more censoriousness. Our findings imply that the identity of a person presenting controversial scientific information and the receiver’s pre-existing identity and beliefs have the potential to influence how that information will be received.

El “factor grotesco” del Museo Picasso de Málaga, análisis de una exposición: de la domus aurea a las miradas indiscretas del Siglo XIX
Authors: Fernández Paradas Antonio Rafael
Published: December 2024

El factor grotesco, fue, una magna exposición celebrada en el Museo Picasso de Málaga, que pretendía poner al día la categoría estética de lo grotesco. Fue una profunda revisión de la consideración del arte grotesco en los últimos 500 años. Tal despliegue de medios, logística y obra contaba con un punto negativo: la desinformación. A lo largo de toda la muestra prácticamente las informaciones relacionadas con las obras se reducían a las cartelas con los datos básicos de información. La exposición era compleja y extensa, pero el visitante andaba en un mar de dudas, que al final no conseguía responder. En una segunda oportunidad, el visitante o el estudiante, se dirige al catálogo para profundizar en “lo grotesco” de cada una de las obras, pero en la consulta del mismo no hay ni una sola ficha catalográfica desarrollada sobre cada una de las obras, es decir, no hay una justificación expresa de la aplicación de la categoría de lo grotesco que justifique la inclusión de las obras en el catálogo. El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar la construcción intelectual, iconográfica y museográfica de la exposición El factor grotesco.
Agenda mediática y pública en la agresión de igualada (España). Los mitos de la violación.
Authors: Brandariz Portela Tania , Rodríguez Hernández Jonattan , Ortega Fernández Eglée
Published: December 2024

La difusión que puede tener una noticia ha crecido sustancialmente debido a las redes sociales. De la misma manera, permiten que las personas puedan compartir y comentar las noticias, generando discusión y debate público. Esto puede tener un impacto significativo en la opinión pública y en la percepción de las noticias. Si se agrega que sea un hecho de violencia que afecte directamente a un grupo específico de la sociedad, la propagación de la información aumenta considerablemente y las redes sociales funcionan como un altavoz de los grupos que se organizan en torno a estos casos. En la presente investigación se analiza la cobertura que han realizado medios de comunicación tradicional y nativos digitales, a través de sus redes sociales (Twitter y Facebook) a través de una triangulación metodológica: investigación bibliográfica, cantidad de publicaciones y análisis de discurso. Los resultados demuestran que los medios de comunicación han vertebrado su relato mediático en torno a tres ejes: el lugar del acontecimiento, que la víctima era menor de edad y las críticas de la madre de la víctima al presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, y a la ministra de Igualdad, Irene Montero. El caso ha estado caracterizado, por tanto, por su politización. Como conclusión, se señala que los sujetos de la información en los titulares de las noticias fueron, en la mayor parte de las ocasiones, la madre y la víctima.

Authors: Egger Austin , Bishop Zachary , Gutowski Christina J.
Published: December 2024

The term “skeletal metastases” is utilized to describe the clinical scenario of visceral cancer metastasizing to bone. These bone lesions can result in pain, pathologic fracture, neurovascular compression, and hypercalcemia, along with general ambulatory dysfunction, loss of independence, and failure to thrive. The role of the orthopaedic surgeon in caring for patients with metastatic carcinoma cannot be underemphasized. Proper evaluation of a patient with metastatic bone disease includes consideration of the extent of disease, life expectancy, response to treatment, pain and functional levels, and overarching goals. Individualized treatment recommendations should be tailored to each patient, following the basic principles outlined in the approach below. These principles and surgical and nonsurgical strategies focus on minimizing pain, maximizing function, and optimizing quality of life by avoiding revision procedures, respecting end-of-life wishes, and avoiding harm.

Published: December 2024

Objectives

Understanding the population and demographic factors in the face of a rapidly changing demographic in the United States is critical to ensuring high-quality patient care and effectively guiding operative management of fracture nonunion. This study explores the underlying demographic factors of radius and ulna shaft fractures nonunion and subsequent operative management.

Methods

International Classification of Disease-10 (ICD-10) diagnostic codes were used to query the TriNetX database for all patients who suffered radius or ulna shaft fractures from 2017 to 2022. Current Procedure Terminology (CPT) codes for surgical intervention of radius or ulna shaft fracture nonunion were used to stratify patients into surgical or nonsurgical cohorts.

Results

The overall number of radius shaft fractures have fractured from 4,399 in 2017 to 4,878 in 2022, while overall rates of radius shaft fracture nonunion have slightly decreased from 0.68% to 0.64% during this period. The number of ulna shaft fractures increased from 7,728 in 2017 to 8,244 in 2022, with an overall nonunion rate of 0.08%. The incidence rate of nonunion was higher in females with radius (0.80%) and ulna shaft fracture (0.10%) than in males with radius (0.73%) or ulna shaft fracture (0.08%). The highest rates of nonunion amongst age groups were in the 40-64 age group for radius (2.2%) and ulna (0.27%) shaft fracture, with the lowest in the 0-17 age group among patients with radius shaft fracture (0.33%). The highest overall number of radius shaft fractures from 2017 to 2022 was among white patients. Still, the highest rates of fracture nonunion were seen among Black (1.7%) and Asian (3.1%) patients with radius fractures than white patients (0.77%). Overall rates of nonunion surgery were 54% in radius shaft fracture patients and 28% in ulna shaft fracture patients. Patients who smoked had higher rates of nonunion (4.0%) than those who did not smoke (0.61%) among all patients with radius shaft fractures, but both groups had similar rates of nonunion surgical management. Among radius shaft fracture patients, rates of nonunion surgical management have increased from 50% in 2017 to 71% in 2022.

Conclusion

Demographic disparities were noted regarding radius and ulna shaft fracture nonunion and their subsequent management, which could challenge ensuring equitable care for all and provide an opportunity to explore ways to improve patient care regardless of demographic background.

Authors: Nemirov Daniel , Ilyas Asif M
Published: December 2024

Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) hand surgery is safe, efficacious, and evolving to address expanding demands and indications. WALANT Surgery has demonstrated consistent and reproducible advantages for patients and providers alike. Over the past several years, WALANT techniques have been further honed and implemented throughout the hand and upper extremity surgery field. These advances have improved patient pre-, intra-, and postoperative pain during routine hand surgery procedures. These improvements and the elimination of intraoperative tourniquet pain and unpleasant general anesthetic sequelae have increased overall patient satisfaction. Additionally, the WALANT surgical technique has helped mitigate patient postoperative opiate needs and prescriptions. Regarding surgical outcomes, data is emerging to support the non-inferiority of WALANT versus conventional surgical techniques when applied to many procedures. The prospective growth of WALANT hand and upper extremity surgery is immense, with progressing indications and applications.
Wide Awake Surgery: A Review of Cost Savings Potential
Authors: Ilyas Asif M. , Clarkson James H.W.
Published: December 2024

Wide-awake surgery is becoming more common due to several potential advantages to patients, surgeons, and payers. For the patient, there is greater convenience and fewer complication risks. For the surgeon, there is greater efficiency and control. For the payer, there are fewer costs by eliminating anesthesia professional fees and facility fees. However, adoption has been slow for both wide-awake and office-based surgery due to a potential lack of financial incentivization for the surgeon. Surgeons performing wide-awake surgeries are uniquely positioned to drive greater cost savings to patients and payers while also potentially securing enhanced reimbursements for their increased services and overhead. This review will analyze the available literature around cost savings following carpal tunnel release (CTR) surgery, one of the most common surgeries performed in the United States, focusing on savings relative to the site of surgical care.

Smart The leather production industry, existing for thousands of years, has continuously adjusted to meet modern standards for quality and environmental sustainability. Antimicrobial treatments are essential in leather manufacture to preserve the durability and hygiene of leather goods. These important treatments are utilized to prevent bacterial proliferation and deterioration of leather in order to fulfill environmental duty. Ideal temperature and moisture conditions of animal skin create a favorable habitat for microorganisms to grow. Review explores antibacterial chemicals, preservation methods for animal hides, and factors influencing bacterial growth. Various preventive techniques like salt, antibiotics, plant extracts, and electric currents are employed to combat bacterial damage in leather production. Even with high NaCl levels in the leather treatment liquid, numerous bacterial species can proliferate and generate detrimental enzymes, leading to substantial economic losses. These enzymes have detrimental effects on leather and leather goods, such as staining, unpleasant smell, and discoloration.

Bu çalışmada, Mn(H2PO2)2 ve NaCl’ün sulu ortamda yoğunluk ve faz dengesi üzerine değerlendirilmesi araştırılmıştır. Tüm deneyler atmosferik basıncı altında gerçekleştirildi. Çalışılan üçlü sistemin basit ötonik nokta sistemine uygun yani karışım sisteminde bileşenin belirli bir oranı, sistemin en düşük donma noktasına sahip olduğu noktada bileşenler birlikte katılaşır ve tek bir sıcaklıkta faz değişimi olduğu ve herhangi bir ikili tuz barındırmadığı görülmüştür. H2O- Mn(H2PO2)2-NaCl sisteminin alt sistemleri olan Mn(H2PO2)2-H2O ve NaCl-H2O ikili sistemlerinin çözünürlük ve yoğunluk değerleri 323 K'de sırasıyla %11,14 Mn(H2PO2)2 ve %26.86 NaCl, 1067 kg/m3 ve 1189 kg/m3 olarak tespit edildi. Bileşimin ötonik nokta bileşimi ise % 24.46 NaCl ve % 6.02 Mn(H2PO2)2 içerdiği ve yoğunluğunun 1279 kg/m3 olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Organ bağışı günümüzde hayati öneme sahip bir eylem olmasına rağmen halen talebi karşılayacak düzeyde bağış bulunmamaktadır. Organ bağışı ve nakli konusunda insanlar arasında devam eden etik, hukuki, tıbbi ve dini birçok soru işareti bulunmaktadır. Bu soru işaretlerinin ortadan kalkması ve talebin karşılanması için gerekli adımların atılması gerekmektedir. Organ bağışı ve nakli hayatta umudunu kaybetmiş birçok insan için yaşam kalitesini ve hayata tutunma arzusunu arttıracak hayati bir konudur. Bu kadar hayati olan bir sürecin toplum tarafından daha çok benimsenmesi ve harekete geçilmesi için birçok adım atılması gerekmektedir. En önemli adım insanlar tarafından yanlış anlaşılmalara sebep olacak durumların ortadan kaldırılmasıdır. Bu yanlış anlaşılmalar ve engellerin başında insanların sahip olduğu hatalı dini, hukuki ve tıbbi bilgiler ve tutumlar yer almaktadır. Organ bağışı ve nakli konusunda arz-talep dengesinin sağlanabilmesi için daha sık çalışmaların yapılması, insanların doğru şekilde bilgilendirilmesi hem bağışçılar hem alıcılar için uygun politikalar ve kılavuzların oluşturulması atılacak önemli adımlar arasında yer almaktadır. Bu adımlar bağışçı ve alıcıların dini, hukuki ve tıbbi yönden eksik, yanlış bilgilerinin giderilmesi ve organ bağışı ve nakli konusunda daha somut verilere ulaşılması, farkındalığın artması ve arz-talep arasındaki farkın kapanması açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı organ naklinin dini, hukuki ve tıbbi yönünü literatür ışığında incelemektir.
