Authors: Kaibullayeva J. A. , Pashimov M. O. , Kasatova A. M. , Tanabaeva A. S. , Agibayev K. E.
Published: November 2024

Aim of the study. The study of macroeconomic (external) environmental factors influencing primary healthcare level as the main link in routing a patient with inflammatory bowel diseases and providing quality care.Materials and methods. The opinion of three experts on 4 groups of indicators (political, economic, social and technological) in the context of their impact on the outpatient level of care for inflammatory bowel diseases in the next 3-5 years is analyzed. All factors were taken into account based on the strength of their influence (from 1 to 3) and the probability of variability. Then, according to the methodology, a weight-adjusted score was determined.Results and discussion. The analysis of environmental factors on the effectiveness of medical care for inflammatory bowel diseases in primary health care has shown the importance of both technological factors (availability of information systems, telemedicine technologies, innovative techniques), political (related to the regulation of the health system at the Ministry level, the existing Standard, labor policy, the level of knowledge of doctors and preventive measures) and economic (financing of the system health care, developed infrastructure, income of the population and accessibility of services); socio-cultural factors are slightly less significant, primarily related to joint responsibility for the health of citizens, the level of education of the population, the degree of trust in medicine and the existing inflated expectations of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases.Conclusions. The analysis showed an obviously significant influence of technological, political and economic factors on the quality of care provided for inflammatory bowel diseases in primary health care. It is obvious that socio-cultural factors, primarily related to joint responsibility for the health of citizens, the level of education of the population, the degree of trust in medicine and the existing high expectations of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, are comparatively less significant for the quality of care provided.

COVID-19 and the nervous system: pathogenesis, mechanisms, and outcomes
Authors: Takenova L. , Klyuyev D.
Published: November 2024

In the acute period of COVID-19, more than 1/3 patients develop neurological symptoms, 25% of which can be attributed to direct damage to the central nervous system. Most often, all these complications arise due to the penetration of the virus into the systemic circulation, its dissemination and damage to the vascular endothelium. All clinical manifestations associated with the penetration of COVID-19 into the nervous tissue can be divided into several groups:1) signs of damage to the central nervous system, including headache, impaired consciousness, encephalitis, cerebrovascular diseases, seizures and ataxia; 2) signs of damage to the peripheral nervous system, such as anosmia/hyposmia, dysgeusia, visual disturbances, neuralgia and Guillain-Barre syndrome; and 3) signs of damage to the musculoskeletal system, such as myopathy, myalgia and fatigue.The aim of the review was to identify the main sources and mechanisms of nerve tissue damage in COVID-19 disease.Literature search was conducted in the Web of Science, PubMed and Scopus databases. The search was carried out by the following keywords: «COVID-19», «nerve tissue», «endothelial dysfunction», «oxidative stress», «neuroinflammation». The literature search yielded 329 results, of which 234 articles.As a result of the analysis of the articles, 2 main groups of studies were identified: descriptive and experimental. The pathogenesis of damage to the nervous system by the COVID-19 virus has two sources: by infecting nerve endings, such as olfactory sensory neurons, and retrograde penetration of the virus into the brain.

Published: November 2024

Aim of the study. To determine the relationship between ultrasound parameters of the urethro-vesical segment and the quality of life of women with stress urinary incontinence before and after surgical treatment. Materials and methods. We studied the quality of life and the severity of symptoms according to the UDI-6, I-Qol, IIQ-7, ICIQ-SF questionnaires, as well as ultrasound examination of the urethro-vesical segment in 40 women with stress urinary incontinence before and after surgery for the period 2023-2024. Correlation analysis among the listed indicators was performed. The mean age in the analyzed group was 49.7±9.7 years. Results and discussion. There was a significant improvement in postoperative quality of life scores for all the questionnaires used. There was a direct correlation between UDI-6 and urethral diameter in the Valsalva test, between IIQ-7 and the distance between the pubic symphysis and the bladder neck in the Valsalva test, the severity of symptoms according to the ICIQ-SF scale and the size of the posterior urethro-vesical angle at rest before surgery. After surgery, an inverse correlation was found between the distance from the pubic symphysis to the bladder neck in the Valsalva test and the data of the I-Qol questionnaire, as well as I-Qol and the values of the posterior urethro-vesical (β) angle in the Valsalva test. A direct correlation was found between the distance from the pubic symphysis to the bladder neck in the Valsalva test and the results of the IIQ-7 questionnaire, as well as between the β-angle value and the severity of symptoms according to the ICIQ-SF questionnaire. Conclusions. The results of the analysis confirmed the researchers' hypothesis that ultrasound parameters of the urethro-vesical segment correlate with the severity of symptoms and the level of quality of life in patients with stress urinary incontinence before and after surgical treatment.

La conciliación laboral y familiar: un reto aún pendiente
Authors: Rodríguez-Ponce Beatriz , López-Charlo María
Published: November 2024

La conciliación laboral y familiar ha ganado creciente relevancia en la sociedad contemporánea, buscando un equilibrio entre la vida laboral y familiar. Este equilibrio es esencial para el bienestar individual, la cohesión familiar y el rendimiento laboral. La conciliación no es solo una preocupación individual, sino también una cuestión económica y social significativa. Este tema surge con la incorporación de la mujer al mercado laboral tras la Primera Guerra Mundial, marcando un antes y un después en todos los aspectos relacionados con la conciliación. Sin embargo, es relevante para todos, no solamente para las mujeres. Las organizaciones y entes públicos desempeñan un papel crucial mediante políticas y medidas que fomentan la conciliación, como permisos por nacimiento, flexibilidad horaria y teletrabajo. Las economías desarrolladas han implementado diversas medidas conciliadoras. La conciliación se ha convertido en un factor clave en la atracción y retención de talento, mejorando el clima laboral y la productividad organizacional. Las empresas que priorizan el bienestar de sus empleados suelen experimentar mayor satisfacción laboral, menor rotación de personal y una reputación más positiva. En el caso de España, se va a analizar la evolución de los últimos años para ver si el país se está acercando a los países más conciliadores, siendo estos tradicionalmente los países nórdicos. Una vez visto la situación de España se va a proceder a realizar una comparativa con países que se encuentran en una situación mejor y peor respecto a la de España

Published: November 2024

Background: Hemoptysis is the coughing up of blood from the tracheobronchial tree. Hemoptysis is most often a manifestation of lung diseases. The etiology of hemoptysis can also be extra-pulmonary. A certain number of cases are idiopathic. The gold standard in the diagnosis is computed tomography, pulmonary angiography, and aortography. The treatment of hemoptysis is the treatment of the underlying disease and, if necessary, bronchoscopy. Methodology: This study examines 235 patients presenting with hemoptysis at the Emergency Center of Serbia, University Clinical Center, focusing on demographics, comorbidities, diagnostic procedures, and treatment outcomes. Patients underwent thorough clinical evaluation and laboratory tests, with an emphasis on distinguishing pulmonary from non-pulmonary causes. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze the data, revealing significant findings. Results: Results showed a male predominance (62.1%) with an average age of 60.9 years. Comorbidities, particularly arterial hypertension, were prevalent. Chest imaging, including X-rays and CT scans, aided in diagnosing conditions such as pulmonary thromboembolism and malignancy. Logistic regression highlighted predictors for outpatient treatment, including higher hemoglobin levels and non-pulmonary etiology. Bronchoscopy was performed in 23.8% of cases, revealing varied findings, including active bleeding, inflammation, and bronchiectasis. Notably, uncontrolled arterial hypertension emerged as a leading cause of hemoptysis. Patients with pulmonary causes exhibited distinct clinical and laboratory profiles compared to those with non-pulmonary etiologies. Conclusion: This study underscores the heterogeneity of hemoptysis etiologies and the critical role of thorough evaluation in guiding treatment decisions. Understanding the differences in clinical characteristics and laboratory results between pulmonary and non-pulmonary causes informs optimal management strategies and balancing outpatient vs. inpatient care.

Authors: Little Avery , Coxhead Averil , Siyanova-Chanturia Anna
Published: November 2024

In this small-scale qualitative investigation, we explored second language readers’ use of an e-reading programme wherein readers primarily focus on meaning-making. We further examined learners’ reflections on their use of the programme. Four English as a foreign language adult learners (L1 Arabic) read a text for comprehension with the help of Calibre, an open-source e-reading software. We found that while participants did make use of the lookup tool, the use was infrequent; participants also differed in the ways in which the tool was used. Lack of familiarity with the tool was also found to discourage learners from looking up words, often leading participants to guess meaning from context and skipping unknown words.

The Effectiveness of The Fertilizer Voucher Scheme in General Tinio, Nueva Ecija
Authors: Bigting Kristel Anne , Ramos Vilma , Idava Princess
Published: November 2024

This study examines the efficacy of a fertilizer voucher scheme program aimed at improving agricultural productivity and mitigating food insecurity. Through a comprehensive analysis of data collected from respondents categorized by educational attainment, employment status, and length of service, the study evaluates perceived effectiveness in terms of understanding, agricultural income, and adaptation. Employing the Kruskal-Wallis H Test, significant differences in perceived effectiveness were identified among groups based on educational attainment and employment status, highlighting variations in perspectives. Specifically, college graduates and employed individuals reported higher levels of effectiveness compared to other groups, indicating potential correlations between educational and occupational backgrounds and program perception. However, no significant differences were observed based on the length of service, suggesting that tenure within the agricultural department does not significantly influence perceptions of program effectiveness. The study further identifies challenges in the targeting, distribution, and redemption of vouchers as key hindrances to the program's overall effectiveness. Notably, misallocation of vouchers and difficulties in accessing fertilizers lead to delays in application, compromising the program's intended impact. In response to these challenges, the study proposes several recommendations. These include enhancing data collection systems for better targeting, improving rural infrastructure to facilitate voucher redemption, investing in farmer education to promote informed decision-making, and implementing robust monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to track program performance. Additionally, the study suggests leveraging mobile technology for efficient voucher distribution, which can streamline administrative processes and enhance communication between administrators and farmers. By addressing these challenges and implementing the proposed recommendations, policymakers and stakeholders can enhance the effectiveness of fertilizer voucher schemes, ultimately contributing to improved agricultural outcomes and food security in the target communities.

Automatic lifting systems have emerged. There is scope for further development. The learning is comprehensive, in-depth, and innovative, helping students gain proficiency and cultivate musical literacy and innovative abilities. It originated in Guatemala and spread worldwide, entering China in the 1980s. In China, it has gradually become an important part of the music education system. Courses and training programs have been established in various educational institutions. Learning requires basic skills and the pursuit of artistic expression and cultural understanding. In the future, the marimba will have broader prospects with the development of music education and the acceleration of the internationalization process.
Conclusion: Despite its initial lack of popularity, the marimba—which was brought to China in the 1980s—has grown to be an essential part of the country's music education program. Students develop proficiency and musical literacy through thorough and creative teaching methods, and as internationalization and music education progress, the instrument's future in China appears bright.
The Effects of Social Cues in Self-Produced Micro Video Lectures on Parasocial Interaction, Motivational Interest, Extraneous Cognitive Load, and Concept Learning Performance: an Empirical Study in a Junior High School
Authors: Liu Xuanwen , Li Changhan
Published: November 2024

Background and Aim: Videos are popular in the dissemination of knowledge at scale, which can be seen in various video-based platforms and educational disruption. However, inconsistent results were reported in studies. This research is designed to determine the effectiveness of social cues in self-produced micro video lectures on parasocial interaction, motivational interest, extraneous cognitive load, and concept learning performance and the relationship among them.
Materials and Methods: Self-produced videos for learning concepts of morality and the rule of law in junior high schools were used as the treatment. Tests were used to determine concept learning performance and Likert scales were utilized to collect information on the other three variables. 248 students from the eighth grade in a public school were involved in the sample. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze differences among groups, and path analysis as well as was adopted to determine the relationship between variables.
Results: There was no significant difference among the four groups on each variable. Parasocial interaction has a significant positive impact on motivational interest, motivational interest has a negative significant impact on extraneous cognitive load, and extraneous cognitive load has a negative significant impact on concept learning performance.
Conclusion: The effects of the increment of types of social cues can be ignored in 6-minute self-produced video lectures. Students’ parasocial interaction can influence concept learning performance via the mediation of the cognition process and motivational factors. The extraneous cognitive load decreases with the stimulation of the motivational interest.

Published: November 2024

Background: Patients with cancer routinely undergo genomic tumor sequencing, a component of molecular profiling (MP), to better characterize their cancer and identify potential targetable alterations. Targeted treatments potentially confer higher response rates and better efficacy. With increasing complexity, patients may require detailed explanations of MP results. Patient understanding of MP results increases the likelihood that eligible patients receive targeted treatment. Advanced practice providers (APPs), defined as nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and pharmacists, frequently review and discuss MP results with patients. Purpose: The aim of this study is to understand APP experiences discussing MP results with adult cancer patients. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted through virtual semi-structured interviews with APPs recruited via study invitation shared through the Advanced Practitioner Society for Hematology and Oncology (APSHO). Eligibility criteria included APPs with > 1 year of oncology experience and involvement in discussing MP results. Data were analyzed utilizing a constant comparative analysis and coded in three stages: open, axial, and selective. Results: Thirteen participants were enrolled from across the United States. Participants discussed learning to understand and explain MP findings primarily through on-the-job experiences. Barriers to patient education were also described. Initially coded participant statements (open codes) produced six themes (axial codes). Conclusions: With MP now standard practice in oncology, APPs frequently discuss these results with patients. This study highlights that additional and continuing education related to MP is needed in communicating complex results. Patient educational tools, specific to patients’ MP findings and tailored to their preferences and literacy levels, are critically needed.
