Service evaluation of an outpatient exercise class after critical illness
Authors: Wilson Suzahn , Else Helen , Cross Jane
Published: November 2022

Objective To evaluate an outpatient exercise rehabilitation programme following critical illness and make recommendations to improve the service for patients. Design Mixed-method design using qualitative interviews with people who have recently completed the programme and audit data from the preceding two years. The programme is hosted within a UK district general hospital outpatient therapy department. Participants Adults who completed the physical rehabilitation programme between June 2016 and June 2018 were eligible to participate. Participants were interviewed in their own homes using a semi-structured format (n = 8). Audit data included 25 sets of participant data within this time frame which equates to around 3% of patients discharged from the critical care unit in the same period. Outcome measures Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using grounded theory methodology. The primary outcome measure from audit data was exercise capacity (6-minute walk test). Secondary outcome measures were Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL), Anxiety and Depression (HADS). Results Participants struggled for independence and described the physical and psychological challenges associated with this. Audit data showed significant improvements in physical function, anxiety, depression, and HRQOL following the programme. Conclusions Physical and emotional challenges, recruitment, accessibility to resources and delivery of information to patients were barriers to implementation of an outpatient exercise programme. This service may promote physical function and vitality for patients, but findings are not generalisable due to small sample size and limited demographic information.
A service evaluation of the accuracy of electronic prescriptions used to calculate nebulised medication adherence in adult with cystic fibrosis

Published: November 2022

Adherence to nebulised medications in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) is known to be suboptimal. CFHealthHub uses an electronic prescription (e-prescription) as a denominator and chipped nebuliser devices which capture the frequency of nebulised medications inhaled by the patient. This enables a calculation of nebulised medication adherence to be made. However, e-prescriptions may contain errors which can affect the adherence calculation. This service evaluation sought to review the accuracy of CFHealthHub e-prescriptions at a single adult CF centre, to understand the nature and causes of any inaccuracies and to evaluate the effect of prescription complexity on prescription accuracy. A total of thirty e-prescriptions from CFHealthHub were compared to ‘gold standard’ prescriptions. Inaccuracies and types of error in the e-prescriptions were recorded and analysis was conducted to understand the effect of prescription complexity on this. The two prescriptions were discussed with participants to determine the causes of inaccuracies. Inaccuracies were found in 43% (13/30) of e-prescriptions and were significantly associated with alternating medication regimens (p = 0.025). There were four error types found within the e-prescriptions: inaccurate medication list, incorrect medication duration, incorrect medication frequency and prescription duplication errors. Medication list errors were significantly associated with alternating medication regimens (p = 0.007). Causes of e-prescription inaccuracy were due to failure to update the prescription following a change, errors in prescription entry and inaccuracies caused by using two different nebuliser devices. CFHealthHub e-prescriptions contain inaccuracies and prescription complexity can increase the risk of prescription inaccuracy, although the small sample size limits the ability of the service evaluation to draw strong conclusions. Causes of e-prescription accuracy should be addressed by the local CF team.
AN ANALYSIS OF THE SIXTH SEMESTER STUDENTS’ MIXING CODE BETWEEN AMERICAN ENGLISH AND BRITISH ENGLISH AT ENGLISH EDUCATION STUDY PROGRAM OF UNIVERSITAS PASIFIK MOROTAI
Authors: Safril Karie Safril Karie , Husain Balqis
Published: November 2022

This research aimed to find out the mixing code between American English and British English as well as the language mixing code factors performed by English students of the third year at Universitas Pasifik Morotai. The method used to analyze the data in this study was the descriptive analysis method to clarify. This study showed that the English department of the third year Universitas Pasifik Morotai performed mixing code vocabulary between American English and British English. The mixing code of the sixth-semester students is the outer mixing code. Students mix both languages and from all results of the respondents, which is more dominant to the American accent, with total vocabularies of 50 and British English 45 vocabularies. . Some reasons put forward by the students when they produce code-mixing, firstly the students want to build motivation in learning English. Secondly, code-mixing in the teaching process makes their utterance clearer when explaining so the listener could understand faster. Code-mixing in the class expresses her/his emotion or feeling to the listener. The last reason is sometimes she/he finds a word that has no representation in another language.
Folk Healing Narratives: A Grounded Theory
Authors: Nual Velez Maria Cristal
Published: November 2022

This study collected, transcribed, translated, and categorized the folk healing narratives from Magarao, Camarines Sur to reveal the shared meanings and derived a theory about them. The researcher used descriptive method to describe the existing folk healing narratives and contact method was used in gathering the data then followed the process of Grounded Theory Method. The collected narratives from the nine (9) folk healers were classified into four (4) categories namely; pagbulong sa paagi kan gabay (healing through the help of supernatural being), pagbulong sa paagi kan ritwal (healing through rituals), pagbulong sa paagi kan pagsanib (healing through possession), and pagbulong sa paagi kan namanang kaaraman (healing through acquired knowledge). From the categories of folk healing narratives, the researcher extracted the shared meanings that resulted to the four (4) stages of folk healing: pag-apod (calling), pag-isi (knowing), pag-umay (healing), and pag-arang (offering). This study concluded that for folk healers to perform folk healing, they combine their skills and gift of healing that was endowed to them by the Supreme Being. The extracted shared meanings reflect how people who adhere to folk healing view the world; this is because of their similarities in experiences. Shared meanings which are present in these modern times can be traced back from the practices and beliefs of the ancient Bikolanos reflected in the Bikol literature. This study recommends the future researchers to conduct similar studies specifically in the shared meanings and practices in the other aspects of the society
Sequence Analysis of Select Terpene Synthase Genes in Philippine Coffee
Authors: Mondragon Miguel , Santos Daisy May
Published: November 2022

Aroma is one of the factors used to evaluate coffee quality. Aroma profile differences between coffee varieties are dictated by the unique and diverse combination of volatiles, such as terpenes. Several studies have elucidated the phylogenetic relationships of coffee varieties using various DNA markers; however, this is the first study to directly compare the DNA sequences of their terpene synthase (TPS) genes, specifically in Philippine coffee samples. Primers were designed for select TPS genes, and phylogenetic relationships were analyzed through the neighborjoining (NJ) method. The NJ tree successfully distinguished between the three coffee species: Coffea arabica, C. canephora, and C. liberica. A 10-base-pair (bp) indel in CofarTPS8 is present in Arabica but absent in the other varieties, while a 14-bp indel in CofTPS24 was found to be present in Robusta, Liberica, and Excelsa but absent in Arabica. Both indels occur in the intron regions of their respective genes, which may or may not have an indirect effect on the final product. Future studies may look into these particular genes to determine if there are marked differences in their respective products.
Impacts of the National Innovation System on the Star-Up Ecosystem: The Case of the Southern Key Economic Region
Authors: Lien Tran Thi Hong
Published: November 2022

It has been over two years since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. Various weaknesses of the global economic system that had existed before the pandemic have been exposed, and the need for an innovation system has become prominent. This research is aimed at finding such a system at a smaller scale for a key economic zone. Utilizing the theory of a national innovation system and content analysis method based on publications, the research shows that the Southern Key Economic Region can solve the bottleneck that weakens its pioneering position in the country’s economy by promoting its local innovative start-up ecosystem. The ecosystem is currently at the stage of activation (the earliest level in a four-stage lifecycle of activation, globalization, attraction, and integration). In order to move to the next level of globalization, in parallel with other general policy supports, the region should select some start-up sub-sectors to develop, using public procurement as leverage for start-ups.

Does Firm Characteristics Affect Foreign Investors’ Transactions? The Evidence from the Vietnam Stock Market
Authors: Thao Nguyen Thi Phuong , Thuong Vu Thi , Hien Nguyen Thi Tam
Published: November 2022

This paper aims to examine if firm characteristics had an impact on foreign investors’ decisions on buying and selling Vietnamese listed firms’ stocks between 2015 and 2019. Despite the vast majority of research in the same fields worldwide, answers to this question were not clear. Employing panel data estimation of 222 non-financial firms in the Vietnam stock market, the result of this study indicates that foreign investors have a strong preference for firms with high market capitalization, liquidity, and profitability, whereas they seem to be reluctant to invest in ones with high leverage and price to book values. However, we fail to find clear evidence of the impact of dividend yield on the number of shares bought or sold by foreign investors. Based on these results, this study proposes important policy implications to attract foreign investment in the stock market in Vietnam.
A Comparative Research on Communities of Practice, University Knowledge Exchange and Business Model Changes between the United Kingdom and Vietnamese Agri-tech Start-ups
Authors: Thuy Nguyen Thi Thu , Brown Christopher J. , Giang Nguyen Thuc Huong
Published: November 2022

The paper explores the expectations that agritech startups in the United Kingdom and Vietnam have of the benefits of Communities of Practice (CoPs), and how CoPs help these businesses to tackle the challenges of business model changes for their growth enhancement. The co-creational collaboration between academics and agritech startups when working together on knowledge/experience-sharing through CoPs is also investigated. The research uses a case-study approach, meetings, interviews, and documentary data to capture the events, actions and changes of attitudes, behaviors, and expectations of eight agritech startups towards their use of CoPs. The research indicates a significant change in the business models of the startups when integrating temporal CoPs. These agritech startups often exploit their existing business models, while exploring a portfolio of new business opportunities that could generate new growth engines. Some of them quickly move into a value creation phase by which they achieve quick-wins and medium-term actions that generate both financial and non-financial business value. The research results may have implications for policymakers and practitioners who want to develop these types of interventions. Businesses in other fields can also better understand the value and potential of temporal COPs and start applying them.
Policy Recommendations to Enhance Vietnamese SMEs’ Ability to Access Venture Capital
Authors: Thao Dam Thi Phuong
Published: November 2022

Small and medium enterprises, which form a large part of the entity of the domestic private sector, play a vital role in economic growth, socio-economic development and the international integration process. However, SME groups in developing countries are under-developed and face a lot of difficulties in growth due to the absence of sufficient finance. Profoundly, venture capital is typically a suitable and sustainable external source of finance for Vietnamese SMEs with high growth potential. This study provides an overview of the venture capital market and its role in SMEs’ performance in Vietnam. This research also found that one of the reasons why foreign investment funds are not interested in the Vietnamese market is that they have not seen safe and sustainable opportunities for investment. This study not only contributes to the existing literature, because this topic in Vietnam has not received much attention and evidence is not available, but also gives policymakers, in developing countries in general and Vietnam in particular, some recommendations to determine areas of improvement in regulatory and policy aspects enabling increased responsible SME access to venture capital.

Published: November 2022

This research is to investigate the impact of event sponsorship on consumers’ brand loyalty through attitudes toward sponsoring brand and sponsored event. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was conducted to test hypotheses with the survey data of 282 Vietnamese youth who have ever watched and followed the Rap Viet 2020 event. The findings indicated that congruity between event image and sponsoring brand image, self-congruity with sponsoring brand image, and attitude towards sponsored event had a significant positive effect on attitude towards sponsoring brand. Attitude towards sponsoring brand, self-congruity with sponsoring brand image, and self-congruity with event image had a significant positive effect on brand loyalty. Congruity between event image and sponsoring brand image, self-congruity with sponsoring brand image, and self-congruity with event image had a significant positive effect on sponsored event attitude. The congruity between event image and sponsoring brand image, self-congruity with sponsoring brand image influence sponsoring brand loyalty by mediating the effects of event attitude and sponsoring brand attitude. Self-congruity with event image influenced sponsoring brand loyalty by mediating event attitude and sponsoring brand attitude. Based on the research’s empirical analysis, some implications were proposed to help sponsor and sponsee managers on how to improve the effectiveness of sponsorship activities.

Authors: Tan Dang Van , Tuyen Huynh Thi , Nhi Le Thi Thao , Quyen Tran Ly Hoang , Anh Nguyen Duy , Liem Nguyen Thanh
Published: November 2022

This study examines the simultaneous relationship between debt and debt maturity structure of firms with different growth opportunities. In addition, we analyze the effects of these factors on the investment of Vietnamese-listed firms in the period 2010-2020. Using the 3SLS regression model, the results show a negative relationship between debt and debt maturity structure, supporting the underinvestment hypothesis. However, when firms have higher growth opportunities, the relationship between the two factors turns positive, supporting the hypothesis of liquidity risk. The results of using the System GMM model to examine the impact of debt, debt maturity, and growth opportunities on investment further confirm the above findings. These findings have important implications for managers in making investment decisions.
Credit Risk and Financial Performance of Vietnamese Commercial Banks: During and After the Financial Crisis
Authors: Ha Nguyen Tran Thai , Khuong Nguyen Vinh
Published: November 2022

This study examines the influence of credit risk on the financial performance of commercial banks, as measured by the bad debt ratio and the credit risk provision ratio, with and without the participation of macro factors. This study also investigates the effect of the financial crisis on these relationships. Estimates of the generalized two-step systems method (GMM) are used with financial data of 24 commercial banks in Vietnam for the period 2008-2017. The results find that the credit risk of banks has a negative impact on financial performance. Surprisingly, the bad debt ratio is found to enhance the financial performance of commercial banks, while the ratio of provision for credit losses keeps dragging down financial performance  significantly during the financial crisis years.
Loan Loss Provisioning and Efficiency: A Study of Frontier Market Banks
Authors: Martens Wil , Bui Chau Ngoc Minh
Published: November 2022

This paper investigates frontier market bank managers’ use of the discretionary component of loan loss provisions to manage earnings and its association with efficiency. Studies have documented that bank managers use loan loss provisions to smooth earnings, yet the association of provisioning with efficiency in frontier markets has not been empirically examined. Employing stochastic frontier analysis as a method of efficiency assessments in 22 frontier market countries, results show bank efficiency declined steadily from 2001 to 2018. This finding is contrary to economic efficiency theory and suggests that loan quality difficulties have persisted despite nations enjoying increasing economic development. Regression analysis results further reveal that earnings management (EM) via loan loss provisioning is inversely related to efficiency. Study findings support prospect theory, indicating that managers engage in risk-seeking behavior while making risk-averse judgments. Overall, the study results imply that banks should expand loan provisioning strategies to optimize resource allocation and business performance.
Duygusal Bir Rehber Olarak Kadın Yazını: Chick-Lit Örneği Üzerinden Duygular, Cinsellik ve Özgürlüğe Bakmak
Authors: Gökduman Tuğba
Published: November 2022

Bu makale “piliç edebiyatı” veya “çıtır edebiyatı” olarak bilinen chick-lit’in 1990’lı yıllarda Kuzey Amerika ve Avrupa’da ortaya çıkışından günümüze kadarki yolculuğuna kadın yazını, kadınlık deneyimleri, duygular, cinsel özgürlükler ve feminizmler perspektifinden bakıyor. Chick-lit’in kadın edebiyatı, kadın edebiyatınınsa erkeklerce tanımlanan “Edebiyat” içinde tarihsel olarak konumlandırıldığı yeri sorgulayarak chick-lit’e getirilen eleştirileri analiz eden makale, böylece chick-lit’in bir “tür edebiyatı” olarak neden ve nasıl küçümsendiğini tartışıyor. Ardından bu eleştirileri feminist hareketin, cinsel devrimin, tüketim toplumunun ve popüler kültürün yükselişe geçtiği sosyoekonomik bağlam içine yerleştirerek chick-lit’in nasıl “yeni” duygusal, cinsel ve toplumsal normlara ayak uydurmak konusunda kadınlara kılavuzluk eden bir rehbere dönüştüğünü inceliyor. Makale bu incelemeleri, chick-lit’in öncüsü sayılan Bridget Jones’un Günlüğü (1996) romanı üzerinden somutlaştırmayı ve kentli, ekonomik olarak bağımsız, 20-30’lu yaşlarındaki kadınların aşk, iş, arkadaşlık ve aile ilişkilerini nasıl yönettiğine dair bir çerçeve önermeyi hedefliyor.

Thermodynamic Analysis of Thermoelectric Legs with Different Geometric Parameters
Authors: Vargas Almeida Alexander , Angel Olivares-Robles Miguel
Published: November 2022

The design of thermocouple legs is the central theme of this chapter, the methodology of reduced variables is shown, which allows the designer to obtain the dimensions of the geometric parameters, specifically the cross-sectional areas transversal An, Ap and length of the legs ln=lp. The main quantities used within this scheme calculation method are the reduced current density U, the thermoelectric potential Φ, and the thermal conductivity κ. Subsequently, the performance of the designed thermocouple is analyzed through the electrical power produced when the system is connected to an electrical resistance load. In this step, the condition of the dependence of thermoelectric properties on temperature is used. The results show specific values of the cross-sectional areas in which the maximum power value occurs. Although the main method has the advantage that it uses minimal computing and software requirements, a spreadsheet may be sufficient for the calculations. It is also important to mention that in addition to calculating the dimensional parameters, the technique allows the generation and evaluation of various designs for the same temperature range.

Management of High-Grade Meningioma: Present, Past and Promising Future
Authors: Ahmed Nazmin
Published: November 2022

High-grade meningiomas have a persistent therapeutic challenge, which the World Health Organization (WHO) categorizes as grade II and III lesions, represent 10–20% and 5% of individuals with meningiomas, respectively. Although grade I meningiomas can be completely surgically removed and have long-term progression-free survival, higher grade meningiomas are more likely to return aggressively and to be resistant to conventional treatments. Recently, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has offered promise for the treatment of localized tumors. The era of molecular targeted treatment is now upon us. Patients are being enrolled in clinical trials with a variety of innovative medications that target driver mutations, and these trials might result in more effective treatment plans. Alpha-interferon, vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors, and somatostatin receptor agonists are among the medications that are advised for the medical treatment of meningiomas in addition to radiation and surgical excision. For the treatment of meningioma, efforts to find novel informative mutations and protein biomarkers have advanced. Several patient populations have shown promise for improved outcomes with EZH2 inhibition. Overall, it is hoped that targeted research and the application of those strategies, such as PRRT and TTF devices, would lead to better results in future. This chapter aims to discuss the neuroimaging features of high grade meningiomas, diagnostic and therapeutic implications of recently discovered genetic alterations and outcome. There will be a brief review focusing on ongoing clinical trials of novel therapeutic agents and future research scope in this arena.

Introduction: Although factors related to a return visit to the emergency department (ED) have been reported, only a few studies have examined “high-risk” ED revisits with serious adverse outcomes. In this study we aimed to describe the incidence and trend of high-risk ED revisits in United States EDs and to investigate factors associated with these revisits.

Methods: We obtained data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS), 2010–2018. Adult ED revisits within 72 hours of a previous discharge were identified using a mark on the patient record form. We defined high-risk revisits as revisits with serious adverse outcomes, including intensive care unit admissions, emergency surgery, cardiac catheterization, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during the return visit. We performed analyses using descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression, accounting for NHAMCS’s complex survey design.

Results: Over the nine-year study period, there were an estimated 37,700,000 revisits, and the proportion of revisits in the entire ED population decreased slightly from 5.1% in 2010 to 4.5% in 2018 (P for trend = 0.02). By contrast, there were an estimated 827,000 high-risk ED revisits, and the proportion of high-risk revisits in the entire ED population remained stable at approximately 0.1%. The mean age of these high-risk revisit patients was 57 years, and 43% were men. Approximately 6% of the patients were intubated, and 13% received CPR. Most of them were hospitalized, and 2% died in the ED. Multivariable analysis showed that older age (65+ years), Hispanic ethnicity, daytime visits, and arrival by ambulance during the revisit were independent predictors of high-risk revisits.

Conclusion: High-risk revisits accounted for a relatively small fraction (0.1%) of ED visits. Over the period of the NHAMCS survey between 2010-2018, this fraction remained stable. We identified factors during the return visit that could be used to label high-risk revisits for timely intervention.
