A Comparative Analysis of the UK Physician Associate Curriculum Against the Prescriber Curricula for Pharmacists and Doctors
Authors: Howie Neil
Published: December 2024

Background: As the Physician Associate (PA) profession in the UK moves towards statutory regulation with the General Medical Council (GMC), consideration is being given to which, if any, mechanism of prescribing should be granted to PAs. This study examines the alignment between the PA educational curriculum and two pathways to prescribing authority: independent prescribing (IP) from qualification and the non-medical prescribing course. The aim is to determine whether PA education equips graduates for independent prescribing, potentially reducing the need for postqualification training. Methods: A comparative curriculum analysis was conducted by mapping the pre-2023 PA curriculum against the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) standards for pharmacist independent prescribers and the GMC outcomes for newly qualified doctors. The curriculum mapping was performed using an Excel-based comparison tool, identifying areas of direct and oblique alignment between the PA curriculum and the master curricula. Results: The analysis revealed comprehensive alignment between the PA curriculum and the competencies required for independent prescribing by pharmacists and newly qualified doctors. Key areas of alignment include patient-centred care, professional knowledge and skills, and professionalism. However, gaps were identified in the PA curriculum regarding the use of technology in prescribing and the clinical governance of prescribing. Discussion: The findings suggest that the PA curriculum provides a strong foundation for many aspects of prescribing education, supporting the idea that PAs should be granted the use of a mechanism of prescribing. Addressing identified gaps, particularly in technology use and clinical governance, could further enhance PA preparedness for prescribing roles. This could reduce the extent of any postqualification training. Future research should explore variations in clinical experience and individual readiness for independent prescribing among PAs. Collaborative efforts and ongoing curriculum refinement are essential to integrate PAs into prescribing roles while ensuring patient safety in the UK healthcare system.

Published: December 2024

The study aimed to identify the impact of personality types on aggressive behavior among juvenile delinquents in shelters, and determine if there are differences attributable to the variables of gender and educational level. To achieve the objectives of the study, a questionnaire was constructed consisting of three parts; the first part included personal information about the respondents; the second was related to personality types (introversion, emotionality, extraversion) and contained (15) items; the third was related to aggressive behavior (against oneself, others, and objects) and contained (27) items. The study sample was selected using the comprehensive listing, which consisted of (150) juvenile delinquents who were kept in both the Osama bin Zeid Shelter and the Shelter of education and rehabilitation for Girls / Al-Rusaifah.  The results showed that the arithmetic means of the personality types characteristic of juvenile delinquents ranged between (2.38-3.79), where the extroversion type came first, followed by the emotionality type, while the introversion pattern came last. As for the aggressive behavior patterns of juveniles, the results showed that the domain of aggressive behavior against others came first, followed by aggressive behavior against objects, while the domain of aggressive behavior against oneself came last. The results also showed that there are no statistically significant differences that are attributed to the variables of the gender and educational level of the sample members in all personality types, as the results showed that there is a statistically significant negative relationship between extroversion and aggressive behavior against oneself, as well as introversion and aggressive behavior against others. However, there is a positive relationship between extroversion and aggressive behavior against others, introversion and aggressive behavior against oneself, emotionality and aggressive behavior against others and against objects.

Published: December 2024

In the contemporary business environment, managers face ethical challenges that require making decisions that go beyond traditional operational considerations to include principles of rightness and ethics. Marketing is one of the most vulnerable areas to ethical abuses in organizations, as it represents an interactive interface that brings together customers and other stakeholders. Studying marketing ethics requires a multidimensional approach that includes individual, organizational, and social aspects. Accordingly, this research aims to develop an ethical marketing model that is suitable for non-profit universities in Iraq. The study included professors and experts from non-profit universities in Iraq as a statistical community. 215 samples were collected using the available non-probability method. The results showed that the ethical marketing mix is affected by several main factors such as increased social awareness, societal demand, competition in the education market, and legal and regulatory pressures. This research contributes to building a practical framework for ethical marketing in the context of non-profit universities in Iraq, which enhances their marketing strategies and their social and educational role. The results of structural equation modeling using Smart PLS program indicate confirmation of most of the relationships proposed in the research model. The study showed that adopting ethical marketing, taking into account the economic, cultural, political and social conditions in Iraq, represents a strategic option to support non-profit universities, ensure their sustainability and enhance their competitiveness. The results of this research show the importance of scientific planning and efficient resource management to ensure the success of non-profit universities and enhance their educational and social mission.

One of the most common long-term diseases in the world is cardiovascular disease, also called heart disease. It is hard to make accurate and quick predictions about heart problems. Most of the work that has been done so far to identify heart disease has used machine learning methods, but they have not been able to get more accurate results. Recent advances in deep learning methods have a big effect on data analysis. Combining convolutional neural networks via a memory (LSTM), which network is what this work is all about. It aims to be additional exact than added ML methods. The heart disease information was put into two groups: normal and abnormal. This was done using a mixed CNN and LSTM method. The k-fold cross-validating method remained used to prove that this combination system works 90% of the time. Different machine learning algorithms, like SVM, Naïve Bayes, and Decision Tree, are compared with the suggested method to see how well it works. The outcomes show that future method works improved than the ML models that are already in use.

Published: December 2024

Objective: To demonstrate the association of food allergy with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as reported and diagnosed by a physician or other healthcare professional, in a public outpatient service in the Federal District. Methods: Analytical Cross-sectional Study. Medical records of all children aged 3 to 10 years diagnosed with ASD at the Ceilândia Polyclinic between May 2023 and May 2024 were reviewed. Results: Approximately 84.6% of the participants were male and 15.4% female, with an average age of 6 years. Among the participants, 69.2% had a milk allergy, 23.1% had an egg allergy, and 69.2% were diagnosed with cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA). The most common food allergy symptoms reported were abdominal distension in 84.6% of cases, diarrhea in 53.8%, abdominal pain in 53.8%, and bloody stools in 38.5%. All patients followed dietary restrictions, but no behavioral improvements in ASD were observed after dietary changes. Additionally, 7.7% of the children were on medication for ASD. Conclusion: Children with ASD show a high prevalence of food allergies in the institution, primarily to milk and less frequently to eggs, with gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal distension and diarrhea being the most common. However, the lack of behavioral improvements following dietary interventions highlights the need for individualized approaches based on immunological tests and accurate diagnosis, along with nutritional and psychological support for patients and their caregivers.

Comitium på Roms forum och Rikssalen på Stockholms slott – om deras likhet med ledning av Albertis De re aedificatoria
Authors: Vahlne Bo
Published: December 2024

The Comitium in Rome and the Hall of State in Stockholm Royal Palace – On their similarities under the guidance of Alberti´s De re aedificatoria
The use of parables in Alberti’s treatise De re aedificatoria reappears in drawings by the architect Nicodemus Tessin the younger, in the late 17th century. Alberti established an “moralized architecture” based on Cicero’s De officiis, which particularly influenced the relationship between function and form. The Comitium, a demarcated part of Rome’s forum for the people’s assembly, reflected its qualities of accessibility to the square and of orderly meetings. These functions were later transferred to a basilica and two curia buildings for religious and secular matters. According to Alberti all three were richly adorned with internal columns. The advent of the laws of the Twelve Tables, Duodecim Tabulae, with the Republic’s law texts engraved, were intimately associated with the Comitium. The projects of Inigo Jones, John Webb and Christopher Wren for Whitehall, a synonym for central government, appears to include structures based on Alberti’s tract. The Banqueting House is for example combined with a chapel. Corresponding elements appear in Tessin’s drawings for the Royal Palace in Stockholm. The Hall of State at Stockholm Palace, where the King met with the Parliament, appears to compile and fuse Alberti’s information about the basilica, the curia and the royal reception room. The tablets with ethical sentences in Tessin’s drawing reflect Cicero’s role for Alberti’s architectural theory.
The Peasant Master-Builders’ Double Cross-Church
Authors: Härö Merja , Viljo Eeva Maija
Published: December 2024

The centralized church type called double cross-church was introduced in Sweden in the 17th century and later extensively applied in log built churches in Finland. The study focuses on the churches built by a family of peasant master-builders in southeast Finland 1790–1830. We have reconstructed possible building procedures of these master-builders on the basis of existing churches, documents in congregational archives digitized by the National Records Office (Helsinki), generally known procedures of historic log building and information from measured drawings in the archives of the National Board of Antiquities (Helsinki). The main question was the methods used by the master-builders, who had no formal education, to work out the statics of these rather large wooden buildings. Our premise was that they probably relied mainly on a few basic geometric formulas to achieve a pleasing form and a secure structure for their churches. Design schemes that corresponded with the measured drawing material were found in the treatises of Renaissance architectural writers, Francesco di Giorgio Martini, Sebastiano Serlio and Philibert De l’Orme. The schemes found have been known by builders and technicians since Antiquity, i.e. long before these writers recorded them in their treatises.
Iconography of the Labour Movement. Part 2: Socialist Iconography, 1848–1952
Authors: Andersson Fred
Published: December 2024

This is Part 2 of a two-part study which aims at preliminary conclusions regarding the iconography of the international labour movement. Earlier research in the fields of social history, art history and visual rhetorics has been consulted for this purpose. After 1848, emerging socialist parties and labour unions depended on republican iconography for their manifestation of collective identity. The republican virtues of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity remained important, but Fraternity was gradually replaced or merged with Unity and Solidarity. In a process akin to the identification of the goddess of Liberty with a more common “Marianne”, the representation of Unity and manual work in socialist iconography became focused on images of individual male or female workers. In earlier prints and illustrations, these representations have strong affinities with how the concept of labour was personified in official monuments of the same period. Later, the doctrine of socialist solidarity between agricultural and industrial workers transformed the bipartite iconographic scheme of earlier personifications of Unity into a representation of agriculture and industry, or country and city. After 1917, the dilemma of how to represent dual aspects of society and its functions also included questions about the representations of the socialist leader. The Hjalmar Branting monument in Stockholm serves as an example of how the iconography of reformist social democracy is not always comparable to Soviet socialist realism.
Självförhärligande, fromhet och vidskepelse. Om medeltida arkitektavbildningar
Authors: Bengtsson Herman
Published: December 2024

Title: Self-glorification, Piety and Superstition. The Iconography of the Architect in the Middle AgesIn the Middle Ages, the social position of the architect was much better than that of painters or sculptors. Since architects were trained in geometry and arithmetic they were regarded as scientists rather than artisans. The construction of the great cathedrals in the 12th and 13th centuries led to the architects being regarded as heroes of technology. Many of them were immortalized in the stone carvings that adorned the churches, often posing as well dressed atlantes supporting the buildings on their shoulders. Usually they were equipped with the tools of their trade like a pair of compasses or a set square. These sculptures illustrate the self-awareness of the architects but they were also intended to signify their piety. This becomes particularly clear when the architect is shown kneeling in front of Christ or a saint. Another iconographic category depicts the master builder threatened by various kinds of beasts. Art historians have argued that this was a way of illustrating the never ending agonies of the architect who lived in constant fear that his building would collapse. On a capital in Uppsala Cathedral in Sweden, an architect with a pair of compasses is attacked by an animal that looks like a wolf. This may be interpreted as an idealized portrait of Estienne de Bonnueill, who was contracted in Paris in 1287 to continue the building of the cathedral. Other extant examples show the master builders and in some cases also the patrons attacked by lions, dragons and other beasts.

O inscrito e o opaco: faces estéticas do inconsciente freudiano
Authors: Neves Neto Antonio de Almeida
Published: December 2024

A noção de inconsciente em Freud é debitária de duas formulações do conceito que estavam em circulação na estética do século XIX. A primeira é a do inconsciente como um texto cifrado, incompreensível a olho nu, mas que pode ser reveladopela interpretação. A segunda é a do inconsciente como fundamentalmente inapreensível e resistente à representação. Este artigo busca referir o conceito de inconsciente a essas origens, analisando como a tensão entre essas duas acepções do termo é preservada na psicanálise.

New Pilgrims. Towards the Problem of Studying Spiritual Tourism in the Urals
Authors:   independent researcher, Gleb V. Zhoga
Published: December 2024

Religious tourism is one of the most dynamically developing areas of the touristic industry. One of the consequences of this process is the blurring of boundaries between different types of religious tourism, and between secular (recreational) and religious tourism.
Thus, «secular pilgrims» or «new pilgrims» appear in addition to pilgrim’s sensus stricto. Their appearance is associated with the phenomenon of «new spirituality» (New Age spirituality, neomystical consciousness). Despite the popularity of the latter, a clear understanding and definition of the phenomenon of «new pilgrims» has not yet been formed.
To understand the essence of this phenomenon and to isolate «new pilgrims» as an independent group, the article proposes to consider the internal goal of the traveler to «gain some spiritual benefit» or to reach his/her «authentic self». In practice, this can be seen in fact that a pilgrim sensus stricto focuses on the place of his pilgrimage, and a «new» pilgrim — on his personal experience of meeting the place of his pilgrimage.
The practices of new spirituality are most clearly noticeable in trips towards the so-called places of power. These can be very diverse loci, but most of them have a common feature — these are opposed to the «forces» of contemporary modernity, the personification of which is the modern (Western) metropolis.
Such places of power can also be found in the Urals. But only one of them is described in the research literature – Arkaim. Nominally, this is a historical and archaeological museum-reserve, located in the south of the Chelyabinsk region. As an attractor for «new pilgrims», it took appeared back in the 1990s and has not lost popularity since then. However, despite its wide popularity, the phenomenon of Arkaim as a place of power requires study that is more careful.
Moreover, the article proposes to pay attention to the Buddhist monastery of Shedrub Ling, founded on Mount Kachkanar (Sverdlovsk region) in 1995. This attractor is significantly smaller than Arkaim. However, this case seems to be more vivid, complex and heterogeneous. Therefore, a thorough and comprehensive study of the Kachkanar case can be very productive for understanding the phenomenon of «new pilgrims» in the Middle Urals.

Pemanfaatan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) dalam Pelestarian Budaya Dan Wujud Bela Negara
Authors: Krisnanik Erly , Yulistiawan Bambang Saras , Indriana Intan Hesti , Yuwono Bambang
Published: December 2024

Penggunaan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) telah menjadi elemen kunci dalam upaya pelestarian budaya dan mengekspresikan semangat bela negara di era digital ini. Artikel ilmiah ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan kontribusi dan dampak pemanfaatan TIK dalam dua aspek penting, yaitu pelestarian budaya dan wujud bela negara. Dalam konteks pelestarian budaya, TIK digunakan untuk menggagas transformasi dalam pengarsipan dan digitalisasi warisan budaya. Proses digitalisasi ini memungkinkan pengembangan basis data yang kaya akan informasi, termasuk manuskrip kuno, seni tradisional, dan tarian. Penggunaan media sosial dan aplikasi edukatif TIK turut berperan dalam menyebarkan pengetahuan budaya, mengenalkan generasi muda pada nilai-nilai tradisional, dan mendukung upaya pelestarian. Sementara itu, aspek wujud bela negara diimplementasikan melalui pemanfaatan TIK dalam membangun kesadaran nasional dan semangat cinta tanah air. Program pendidikan dan pelatihan berbasis TIK menciptakan warga negara yang lebih terampil dan terinformasi, siap berperan aktif dalam memajukan bangsa. Pemanfaatan media sosial juga memungkinkan partisipasi luas masyarakat dalam kegiatan sosial, kebudayaan, dan keamanan nasional. Penelitian ini menggambarkan bahwa integrasi TIK dalam pelestarian budaya dan bela negara memberikan manfaat signifikan. Dengan teknologi sebagai katalisator, nilai-nilai budaya dapat diakses oleh masyarakat global, sementara semangat bela negara diperkuat melalui konektivitas dan partisipasi yang lebih luas. Ke depan, tantangan yang perlu diatasi termasuk perlindungan data budaya, pembangunan infrastruktur digital yang inklusif, dan peningkatan literasi digital guna memastikan keberlanjutan dari inisiatif ini.

Potensi Inovasi Indonesia di Tengah Bonus Demografi: Menjawab Tantangan Global
Authors: NIAM SYAKIRUL , Betty Silfia Ayu Utami
Published: December 2024

Bonus demografi Indonesia yang ditandai dengan jumlah penduduk usia produktif yang besar, menawarkan potensi besar untuk mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi dan inovasi. Namun, meskipun Indonesia memiliki keunggulan demografi, tantangan utama yang dihadapi adalah rendahnya kualitas tenaga kerja, investasi dalam penelitian dan pengembangan (R&D), serta infrastruktur teknologi. Berdasarkan Indeks Inovasi Global 2023, Indonesia tertinggal dalam hal inovasi, menempati peringkat ke-62 dari 132 negara. Rendahnya proporsi pekerja terampil dan minimalnya perusahaan yang menawarkan pelatihan formal memperparah kesenjangan inovasi. Untuk memaksimalkan potensi demografi, Indonesia perlu melakukan reformasi kebijakan di bidang pendidikan dan penelitian dan pengembangan, meningkatkan investasi modal manusia, serta memperkuat infrastruktur teknologi. Tanpa peningkatan tersebut, bonus demografi dapat berubah menjadi beban jangka panjang yang kemudian menjadi katalis bagi inovasi dan pertumbuhan ekonomi.

Therapeutic Potential of Oral Nalbuphine for the Treatment of Chronic Pain: A Literature Review
Authors: Gray Courtney
Published: December 2024

Typical opioids used for pain, including morphine, activate mu opioid receptors. Disadvantages of these drugs include their abuse potential, risk of respiratory depression, and the development of tolerance, dependance, and constipation. Nalbuphine is an injectable opioid agonist-antagonist analgesic with low abuse potential and a unique mechanism of action. Not only is its analgesic potency comparable to morphine within the typical dosing range, but it also has a low risk of clinically significant respiratory depression, and is generally considered much safer than morphine-like opioids. Nalbuphine is not commercially available as an oral product and as such, research on the efficacy of this formulation is limited. While oral nalbuphine has not been studied in chronic pain, the intention of this review is to extrapolate trial data to help determine whether nalbuphine would make a good candidate for use in chronic pain. Oral nalbuphine is effective for the treatment of acute pain and prolonged duration of its use in trials for chronic cough and uremic pruritus have established its safety. The most significant limitation to oral nalbuphine treatment appears to be the frequency of sedation and nausea. The safety and efficacy profile of oral nalbuphine make it a promising therapy option for chronic pain as an alternative to morphine-life opioids, but at this point trials are still needed to make a definitive conclusion.
Challenges in Translating Arabic Literary Texts Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques
Authors: AlSajri Abdulazeez
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the complexities and challenges in translating Arabic literary texts using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. Arabic, with its rich history and intricate linguistic structure, presents unique challenges in translation due to its syntax, morphology, and cultural depth. Traditional translation methods often struggle with Arabic's semantic nuances, idiomatic expressions, and poetic constructs, which are crucial in literary works. AI techniques, specifically natural language processing and machine learning, offer promising advancements but face limitations in capturing the cultural and emotional resonance inherent in Arabic literature. This study examines current AI approaches, their capabilities, and the challenges they face in delivering translations that preserve both the linguistic and cultural authenticity of Arabic texts. Case studies are presented to illustrate the translation issues in AI-driven models, and future research directions are discussed, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance AI's role in literary translation. This research provides insights into bridging the gap between human expertise and AI efficiency, aiming to improve the quality and accessibility of Arabic literary translations for global audiences.

Background: Pain management is highly essential since the unmanaged pain has severe side effects on patients such as hopelessness, impeding their response to treatment, and reducing their quality of life. Among the major barriers reported towards implementing effective pain management for nursing students was the knowledge and attitude toward pain management. Objective: This study aims to assess knowledge and attitude of nursing student regarding pain management. Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study design was utilized at a private nursing institute from July to November 2024 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Simple random sampling technique was utilized to recruit 44 nursing students.  Result: Knowledge and attitude regarding pain management of (n=44) participants was assessed, where 93.1% (n=41) was male and 6.9% (n=3) was female students. Most of the students 56.8% (n=25) show good knowledge, 36.3% (n=16) show fair knowledge and 6.8% (n=3) show poor level of knowledge. Approximately, 63.6% (n=28) students show good attitude toward pain management, some students 27.2% (n=12) had fair attitude toward pain management and only 9.09% (n=4) students had poor attitude regarding pain management. Conclusion: Most nursing students have good knowledge and a positive attitude towards pain management. While 56.8% of participants demonstrated good knowledge, 63.6% showed a positive attitude. A smaller portion of students had only fair or poor levels in both knowledge and attitude, which presents areas for improvement.

Surgical site infections (SSI) are a critical healthcare issue, leading to increased patient morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Nursing students, as future healthcare professionals, play a pivotal role in preventing SSI. However, there is limited understanding of their knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) regarding SSI prevention. This study utilized a literature review design to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of undergraduate nursing students regarding surgical site infection (SSI) prevention. A comprehensive literature search was performed using electronic databases including CINAHL, PubMed, ResearchGate, Google Scholar, Pak Medi Net, and BioMed Central. Initial searches identified relevant index terms related to nursing students and SSI prevention, which guided a more in-depth search. Studies were included based on their relevance to nursing students' KAP towards SSI prevention, with a focus on factors affecting adherence to infection control guidelines. Articles from various geographical locations were reviewed to compare findings across different educational and healthcare settings. The review found significant knowledge gaps and low adherence to SSI prevention protocols among nursing students in countries such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Italy. Contributing factors included insufficient hands-on experience, limited educational content on SSI prevention, and institutional culture. Simulation-based education and targeted interventions were shown to enhance both knowledge and compliance with infection control measures, underscoring the need for such methods in nursing curricula. This review identifies critical areas in nursing education where interventions are needed to strengthen students’ understanding and practice of SSI prevention. By addressing these gaps, targeted educational programs can be developed to improve preparedness, enhancing both student competence and patient safety. The findings contribute to the broader field of infection prevention and control, offering insights that may inform curriculum design and policy to support improved infection control practices in healthcare settings.
