Authors: Kihara Ayumi , Fujii Kou , Shimonouchi Yasuo , Kambayashi Takatoyo
Published: January 2024

Background

Self-awareness among medical professionals is becoming more important. However, it is difficult to practice self-awareness unless consciously. We held in-hospital learning sessions to enhance self-awareness and to support self-care of medical professionals. The session introduced mindfulness, meditation, and self-care from the perspectives of "psychological safety" and "end-of-life care."

Objective

To investigate the effects of sessions based on participants' reactions.

Methods

A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to 128 medical professionals who participated in the sessions, and the free description was analyzed according to the qualitative coding procedure.

Results

As a result of analyzing the contents of 97 entries described in the free description of the questionnaire. Six categories were generated in the end: Stressful experience, Active practice of meditation, The need for self-care, Knowledge of mindfulness, Healing through narrative, Self-awareness through the learning session.

Discussion

Stressful experience about "psychological safety" and "end-of-life care" were narrated. We found that they are receptive to mindfulness, meditation, and self-care, and want to actively incorporate it. The experience of self-awareness was enhanced through the learning sessions. Introducing meditation, mindfulness, and self-care as methods of coping with specific stresses in clinical settings was effective in enhancing self-awareness among medical professionals.
Clinical vs social approaches to pediatric patient care: the benefits and resistance of therapeutic recreation
Authors: Lefevre Kathleen
Published: January 2024

This presentation outlines the work I did as a Service Aid at the Montreal Children’s Hospital (MCH) from January 2022 to May 2022. I discuss the benefits and setbacks of the work I did with adolescent patients in the MCH psychiatry ward as the “art and play lady”. I also discuss the staff resistance I experienced in this role of offering therapeutic recreation with an embedded social (as opposed to more traditionally clinical) approach.

As a teacher with an MA in art education, I also talk about how I was not treated as a professional by a number of the staff who told me I was “just a teacher”. This is not formal research but is instead an anecdotal and narrative account of my experiences in a role with a less traditional, socially based, patient-centered approach to patient care. The presentation also offers interesting examples of patient artwork that resulted from this experience.

Overall, my story points toward the need for greater shifts in the hospital culture to occur to make it more feasible for therapeutic recreation to be available to patients. My story also suggests that more funding and education are needed to make social approaches to patient care more accepted by hospital systems.
‘The view from here’ - Anxiety and defences against anxiety in the provision of maternity care to one mother and baby
Authors: O'Sullivan Nicola
Published: January 2024

Being emotionally open in a maternity setting is a necessary part of the job of the midwife and consultant doctor. In fact it is recognised as a key aspect of relationship-based work.  However, it can be complex and uncertain, particularly in the face of a mother and baby who are separated through death at birth or serious illness at birth.

This paper is interested in exploring the necessary conditions for relating and reflecting in maternity settings when babies are born with life threatening illnesses. With particular emphasis on one case example from personal experience this paper offers wisdom from the margins in the hope that it might contribute positively to thinking and learning about these experiences in frontline hospital settings.  It will focus on how the intensity of the work with one mother and baby and the strength of emotion associated with that work disrupted the nurses capacity to think.

Drawing on the classic work of Isabel Menzies Lyth (1968) and lat  er Sebastian Kraemer (2015), the paper will consider the types of anxiety and defences present in the encounter and in the ongoing treatment of this mother and baby. The paper will explore how treatment and care was received by the mother and what might have enhanced that provision of care

Published: January 2024

This research belongs to qualitative research that analyzed the types and the functions of figurative language in the Four (Deluxe) album using theory of Johnson and Arp. This research used the primary data taken from the song lyrics in the album and the secondary data were obtained from articles, journals, and previous studies related to the research topic. The data collection technique was done by listening to songs, reading the lyrics, identifying the data and classifying the data into the types of figurative language and the functions of figurative language in the album. After collecting the data, the researchers analyzed the data based on the research questions. From the results of the research, the researchers concluded that types of figurative language found in the album is hyperbole, simile, symbolic, personification, and allegory. Meanwhile, the functions of figurative language found in the album were to provide imaginative pleasure, to talk a lot in a short compass, and to add emotional intensity. Hyperbole was the most frequent used figurative language (5 data), and to provide imaginative pleasure was the most frequent found function in the album (9 data). These two results were interconnected because hyperbole describing something in exaggerated terms that can make the reader interpret the meaning of the lyrics and make the reader use their imaginations.

Authors: Kumari N. , Kumar S. , Desai V.A. , Patel D.B. , Sharon A.
Published: January 2024

An efficient green method developed as a one-pot synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazole-1-one derivatives under microwave conditions via two-component using a substoichiometric quantity of water. The conformational and structural studies were conducted through DFT optimization and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The molecular packing was mediated through hydrogen bonding and C-H...π interactions. The Hirshfeld surface analysis highlighted significant H-H interactions in all compounds, with compound 2a exhibiting the highest percentage. HOMO and LUMO studies revealed compound 2a as more stable and less reactive. The molecular electrostatic potential provided the charged proportionality along with the molecular surface. The drug-likeness properties suggested that compounds 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e, 2f, 2g, and 2i possess favorable properties for potential pharmaceutical applications.
FREDERICK II OF PRUSSIA AND PAUL I IN THE ASSESSMENT OF GERMAN HISTORIANS
Authors:   Moscow City University, Kostev Andrei S.
Published: January 2024

The purpose of the article is to analyze the image of the Prussian King Frederick II, who received the title «The Great» in history, and the Russian Emperor Paul I as a continuer of the traditions of Frederick II of Prussia in Russia in the context of German historiography. The presented materials are based on comparative – historical, historical – systemic and culturological methods. The analysis involves original and translated works of German historians from the 18th to the 21st century. The representation of the image of Frederick II of Prussia is associated with historical social processes in Germany of different eras. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that the assessment of the personality of Frederick II the Great, as well as his activities, was constantly undergoing transformations. Until now, the King of Prussia is an ambiguous and controversial figure in German history. The representation of the Russian emperor in German historical literature concerns, rather, the psychological aspects of his personality, the metamorphoses that occurred with the emperor Tsarevich and with the ruler. The results of the analysis make a certain contribution to the general historiography of Frederick II of Prussia and Paul I and can be used both in the educational and research process.

Authors: Torres Adriana Aparecida Lemos , Maculan Benildes Coura Moreira dos Santos
Published: January 2024

A fotografia de arte sacra possui natureza documental, retratando dois tipos distintos de documento iconográfico: a fotografia e a obra retratada (referente ou trabalho representado). Esse tipo documental está no domínio das Artes e do Patrimônio Histórico e Cultural. Para a representação desse tipo documental, é preciso considerar os aspectos intrínsecos (representação descritiva), os extrínsecos (representação temática), as questões visuais, as subjetivas e as simbólicas. Embora sejam bens tangíveis, as esculturas sacras também possuem valores intangíveis (valores históricos, estéticos e devocionais). Tem como objetivo buscar na literatura insumos para verificar três elementos: a) Funções e atributos das esculturas sacras; b) metodologias de representação de imagens; c) representação dos aspectos simbólicos. Para tanto, a pesquisa, de natureza aplicada e descritiva, utilizou a revisão bibliográfica narrativa e o método Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin (1977), a partir de três categorias de análise. Os resultados demonstram a relevância da inclusão dos aspectos interpretativos e simbólicos na representação desse tipo documental. Apresenta-se uma proposta de metodologia que abarca todos os elementos considerados de modo exaustivo, assim como um exemplo de sua aplicação.

Application of Agency Theory in Administrative Accountability and Public Service Delivery in Local Government Councils in Delta State
Authors: EGBON Thomastina Nkechi
Published: January 2024

The Agency Theory was extensively covered in this study. The investigation used secondary data from books and articles that had already been published. Despite objections, changes in the government, and reservations from some sections of the public, the agency theory has proven to be a useful paradigm in enhancing public accountability and improving the delivery of public services. Local government councils in Delta State may benefit from applying agency theory, which can enhance the provision of public services, employee performance, administrative accountability in the public sector, and public confidence in elected officials. The majority of public administration research reflects agent theory-related presumptions that support public administrators' capacity for learning and effectiveness. As a result of the aforementioned, it is crucial for Delta State's local government council leaders to strictly adhere to accountability in the management of local government affairs in order to encourage quality service delivery. The study comes to the conclusion that in Nigerian public administration, administrative accountability is a crucial but underdeveloped concept. The phrase is freely used by academics and professionals to refer to accountability for one's actions or behavior. Administrators and organizations are responsible in the sense that they must account for their actions. Beyond this fundamental idea of answerability, the term has not undergone much development in Delta State's local government councils.

A Design Approach to Minimize Waiting Time in Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Placed in Indoor Parking Lots
Authors: ÇAKMAK Recep , ÇİÇEK Murat Han
Published: January 2024

Electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative in transportation. However, a fundamental challenge hindering the widespread adoption of EVs is the lack of adequate and accessible charging infrastructure. Therefore, the accessibility of charging stations (CSs) is considered a crucial parameter in addressing this issue. Parking lots, by their nature, offer ideal and effective spaces to ensure this accessibility. Through the installation of CSs in parking lots, owners of EVs can conveniently charge their vehicles as part of their daily routines. This not only enhances the attractiveness of EVs but also provides an eco-friendly transportation solution. In this study, a design approach is proposed to minimize waiting times at EV CSs installed in indoor parking lots. To achieve this objective, using data from the parking lot in the city center of Gümüşhane, the number of charging units required for the parking lot was calculated using queueing theory. By examining parking data, scenarios were developed for different vehicle entry circumstances, considering both AC and DC charging station. The optimal numbers and types of CSs were determined for the created scenarios to provide the best waiting times. Based on these results, recommendations and insights are presented.

[Methodology] We analyze the effect of the board diversity on financial reporting by using the ratio of female, foreigner and former government officer on the board. This study was conducted by using gender, nationality and background data in the annual reporting of Korea listed firms over the period from 2006 to 2020.
[Findings] The main findings as follow. First, we find that the higher the board diversity, the more significantly matching of revenue and expense, which can be interpreted that firms with diverse board member report timely based on the revenue －expense matching principle. Second, firms with gender and nationality diversity report match the revenue to the expense. These findings are consistent with the results of prior research.
[Implications] This study has the following contributions. First, this study is differentiate from prior research in terms of measuring the board diversity using three variables such as gender, nationality and background. Second, we expand the existing research on governance and board by presenting a new aspect of board diversity as a factor affecting the revenue－expense matching, and presents the timely results in a recently situation where various stockholders’ demands for board diversity of listed firms are increasing.

Published: January 2024

[Purpose] The purpose of this study is to examine prior literature using text mining analysis techniques in the accounting area for identifying current research themes, to present other data analysis techniques, and to provide directions for future research and practice.
[Methodology] For this study, I use the Systematic Literature Review(SLR) methodology adopted in Schmitz and Leoni(2019). The results are obtained by entering keywords of “text analysis’ and “accounting” in Google Scholar, and the prior researches reviewed in this paper are selected among them and their references, mainly with the papers published in major journals.
[Findings] Sicne the 1990s overseas, and the 2000s in Korea, studies using text analysis in the accounting area have been started. However, there are not enough numbers of studies using the text mining analysis in the accounting, and the journals where these researches published are also limited. I find that most of the studies examine the relationship between quantitative information of financial statements and stock market responses using text analysis. It is also found that business/ audit/annual reports, sustainability reports, and disclosure data are used at the most. The data analysis techniques used in these studies are mostly opinion extraction, tone analysis, sentiment analysis, and frequency analysis, which investigates the amount of words or tone of data. In future business environments, non－financial and descriptive information such as sustainability reports, strategic reports and MD&A are expected to provide more useful information for decision－making, therefore, various types of data analysis techniques are needed to be more actively used in accounting research.
[Implications] This paper contributes to review current research focus in text mining related accounting studies, identify research gaps, present future avenues of research, and introduce various types of data analysis techniques related to text mining. From a practical policy perspective, it is meaningful to suggest an improvement in the DART system and to drive efforts to establish XBRL, so that the text analysis studies can be more activated.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of pre-cooling the soft tissue of injection sites along with topical 20 Benzocaine on the pain perception of pediatric patients. Study Design: Randomized Clinical Trial. Setting: Department of Pediatric, Ibn-e-Sina Hospital. Period: September 2021 to January 2022. Material & Methods: The study participants were divided into two groups by using lottery method, each group consisting of 40 participants. The first group was given local anesthetic gel and ice applied at site for two minutes before infiltration at the site of injection and the second group was given plain 20% benzocaine at site of injection before giving injection (control group). Pain response assessed by SEM (sound, eye, motor). Results: The present study group (topical anesthesia gel with ice + infiltration) had 40 children 23 boys and 17 girls with mean age 6.3 years and control group (plain topical anesthesia + infiltration) 40 children 21 boys and 19 girls with mean age 6.6 years. No statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in univariate analysis and multivariate analysis showed significant difference between two groups. No adverse events were reported in both groups. Conclusion: Topical anesthetic gel along with ice is more effective in reducing pain experience during local anesthetic injection administration during dental procedures.

Antioxidants and Pregnancy Complications: Exploring Therapeutic Strategies for Better Outcomes
Authors: Emmanuel Ifeanyi Obeagu
Published: January 2024

Pregnancy complications present significant challenges, impacting maternal health and fetal development. Oxidative stress, a key contributor to various pregnancy-related disorders such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and preterm birth, has spurred interest in exploring antioxidant interventions. Antioxidants, known for their ability to counteract oxidative damage, have emerged as potential therapeutic agents to mitigate these complications. This paper synthesizes current knowledge on the role of antioxidants in pregnancy, elucidating their mechanisms of action, sources, and impact on oxidative stress-related complications. It examines diverse antioxidant compounds, including vitamins C and E, selenium, and natural phytochemicals, highlighting their potential to modulate oxidative stress pathways and promote maternal-fetal well-being. Furthermore, this paper critically analyzes clinical studies, meta-analyses, and preclinical research exploring the efficacy and safety of antioxidant supplementation during pregnancy. It discusses the complexities surrounding optimal dosages, timing, and formulations of antioxidants, aiming to delineate strategies for their integration into prenatal care. In conclusion, this review provides insights into the promising role of antioxidants as therapeutic strategies to alleviate pregnancy complications associated with oxidative stress. It highlights avenues for future research, advocating for a deeper understanding of antioxidant mechanisms and their optimal utilization in prenatal care to enhance maternal and fetal health outcomes.

Published: January 2024

The importance of making an early diagnosis in both the prevention and treatment of skin cancer cannot be overstated. A very effective medical decision support system that can classify skin lesions based on dermoscopic pictures is an essential instrument for determining the prognosis of skin cancer. In spite of the fine-grained variation in the way different types of skin cancer appear, Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN) have made great strides in recent years toward improving the ability to detect skin cancer types using dermoscopic images. It has been claimed that there are a few different machine learning techniques for the accurate diagnosis of skin cancer using medical photos. A good number of these methods are predicated on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) that have already been trained, which makes it possible to train models using only a small quantity of available training data. However, because there are so few sample images of malignant tumors available, the classification accuracy of these models is still typically severely restricted. The primary purpose of this study is to construct a DCNN-based model that is capable of automatically classifying different types of skin cancer as either melanoma or non-melanoma with a high level of accuracy. We propose an optimized NASNet architecture, in which the NASNet model is enhanced with additional data and an additional basic layer that is employed in CNN is added. The strategy that has been proposed enhances the model's capacity to deal with incomplete and inconsistent data. A dataset of 2637 skin images are used to demonstrate the benefits of the technique that has been proposed. We analyze the performance of the suggested method by looking at its precision, sensitivity, specificity, F1-score, and area under the ROC curve. The accuracy of Optimized NASNet Mobile and NASNet Large provides an accuracy of 85.62% and 83.98%, respectively for Adam optimizer.
