Exploring the Relationship Between Public Stigma, Self-Stigma, and Counselling Help-Seeking Intentions Among Adolescents in Madrasah
Authors: Ariyati Ika
Published: August 2024

To improve the mental well-being of adolescents is that there is no intention to seek psychological help. This study aims to explore the relationship between public stigma, self-stigma, and the intention to seek psychological help among adolescents who are educated in Madrasas. The method used in this study is quantitative with a cross-section design. This study involved 580 participants, who were invited using convenience and snowball sampling methods. The instruments used were cultural orientation, self-public, social-network stigma, attitudes towards seeking help, intention to seek counseling, and demographic questions. The main findings suggest that adolescents who experience high levels of public stigma tend to have higher levels of self-stigma, which further influences their intention to seek help (psychologically). In addition, cultural orientation also shapes perceptions and attitudes toward seeking counseling help. The findings of this study highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions to reduce public stigma against mental health problems, which can be provided by educational institutions, mental health organizations, as well as governments to create an environment that supports the mental well-being of adolescents.

Chiari malformations represent the main anomalies of nerve structures and result in a low position of the cerebellar tonsils within the upper part of the cervical spinal canal with or without other associated intracranial or extracranial defects such as hydrocephalus, syrinx, encephalocele or spinal dysraphism. Our work is a retrospective study spread over 5 years; from January 2015 to December 2019, involving 15 patients with Chiari I or II malformation, hospitalized within the two neurosurgery departments of the Ibn Rochd University Hospital of Casablanca. A male predominance was observed, with 9 males and 6 females. 12 patients had Chiari I malformation, and 3 patients had Chiari II (age range: 14–48; mean age: 33). Time to diagnosis ranged from 2 to 25 years, with an average of 10 years.
Revealing signs were dominated by motor disorders (73%), sensory disorders (73%) and painful symptoms (53%). Clinical examination of our patients revealed a pyramidal syndrome in 20% of cases, a motor deficit and syringomyelia dissociation in 60% of patients, damage to the cranial pairs and scoliosis were noted in 13% of cases, and 6% of patients had distal amyotrophy. MRI was the examination of choice due to its specificity and sensitivity. It confirmed the diagnosis of Chiari malformation, and syringomyelia was noted in 60% of cases. CT remains advantageous for exploring bone anomalies, which were noted in 26% of cases. All patients underwent craniocervical decompression with dural reconstruction. Shortterm outcomes were generally favorable. Improvement was observed in 73% of cases and stabilization in 13%. No deaths were reported. Surgical treatment is currently the only option, and surgical techniques are constantly evolving to guarantee stable and prolonged improvement and to reduce the risk of morbidity and surgical complications.

Authors: Alnimran Faisal Mufleh , Alhalafawy Waleed Salim
Published: August 2024

The COVID-19 epidemic has given rise to a new situation that requires the qualification and training of teachers to operate in educational crises. Amidst the pandemic, online training has emerged as the predominant approach for delivering teacher training. The COVID-19 pandemic has created potential opportunities and challenges for online training, which may have a long-lasting impact on online training procedures in the post-pandemic era. This study aims to determine the primary potential and constraints of online training as seen by instructors. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) identified online training opportunities and challenges by examining the to-be-applied behavioral intention variables that influence trainees. These variables include individual, system, social, and organizational factors. The study has applied the Phenomenological technique to address the research issues, using the Semi-structured interview tool to get a comprehensive knowledge of the online training phenomena amongst the pandemic. A total of seven participants were selected from a list of general education teachers at the Central Education Office of the Education Department in Bisha Governorate. These people were deliberately selected because of their high frequency of completing training sessions throughout the epidemic. A series of interviews was conducted with these participants. The findings indicated that the primary prospects included both equal opportunities and digital culture within the individual factors, enrollment in training programs and variation in training programs across organizational characteristics, the use of digital material and electronic archiving within the system variables, engaging in the exchange of personal experiences, providing constructive criticism, and fostering favorable communication within the realm of social factors. However, the primary obstacles included deficiencies in digital competencies, compatibility of trainees’ attributes, and dearth of desire as per individual factors, the temporal arrangement of training programs, as well as the lack of prior preparation and preparedness within the realm of organizational factors. Other challenges included the absence of trainer assessment, limited diversity of training exercises, and technological obstacles within the system factors, and ultimately the absence of engagement with the instructor, and lack of engagement with peers are within the social variable.

Published: August 2024

Business intelligence is crucial for businesses, from start-ups to multinationals. Examining the role and efficacy of business intelligence (BI) technologies in gathering, processing, and evaluating data to assist responsible management practices and decision-making is crucial in the modern age, especially for educational institutions. This study investigates the impact of Business Intelligence (BI) tools on Knowledge Management (KM) stages and their subsequent influence on Responsible Business Practices Outcomes in the educational sector of the United Arab Emirates. Using a quantitative research design, the study collected data from 406 faculty and staff members across various UAE universities via a structured survey. It analyzed the data using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results revealed a significant positive relationship between the use of BI Tools and the implementation of KM Stages, indicating that the utilization of BI tools is instrumental in enhancing knowledge management processes. However, the direct effect of BI Tools’ usage on responsible business practices’ outcomes was insignificant, suggesting the need for a mediating factor. KM Stages Implementation emerged as a significant mediator, indicating that the benefits of BI tools on responsible business practices are realized through their influence on KM processes. Moderation analyses showed that Institutional Culture, Training, and Expertise significantly moderated the relationship between BI Tools Usage and KM stage implementation, while Support from Management did not have a significant moderating effect. These findings highlight the importance of fostering an enabling institutional culture and investing in training and expertise to leverage the full potential of BI tools in promoting responsible business practices in educational settings. The study contributes to the literature on technology adoption in education and provides practical implications for educational administrators and policymakers seeking to integrate BI tools into their institutional practices.

Published: August 2024

The article emphasizes the dynamism of social processes in the world aimed at humanizing modern society. Social work in the third millennium became one of the priority topics in Europe and acquired the status of an independent field of science and research in terms of science and education. The possibility of extrapolation of innovative foreign technologies into the practice of social work in Ukraine was investigated. It was found that the process of implementation of innovative foreign technologies into the practice of social work in Ukraine has already begun and is ongoing. In the improvement of the domestic system of professional training of social workers, the authors of the article see an appeal to the experience of applying European innovative technologies and practices of social work, in particular in the Republic of Poland. The leading determinants of social technologies, which determine their specificity, are singled out: multidisciplinarity, hierarchy, multidirectionality, flexibility, standardization. The need for effective and timely implementation of the integration of three groups of social support technologies in the conditions of the martial law in which Ukraine is today has been updated. The perspective of further scientific research is defined in the substantiation of the organizational and pedagogical conditions of their application in the process of informal and informal education.
Impact of selected macroeconomic on poverty alleviation in Indonesia: Evidence from NARDL approach

Published: August 2024

This paper investigates the empirical relationship between economic growth, inflation, foreign direct investment (FDI), and trade on Indonesia’s poverty reduction. The analyzed data period is 1970–2022 using the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model. In the long term, positive and negative shocks to economic growth and FDI significantly affect poverty in Indonesia. Increased growth and FDI will have a significant effect on poverty alleviation. Likewise, when there are negative shocks from economic growth and FDI, it will increase the percentage of the poverty rate. Meanwhile, the inflation variable has a different effect on the conditions of positive and negative shocks. In positive shocks, inflation has a positive and insignificant effect, while in negative shocks, inflation has a negative and significant effect on poverty. It shows that a decrease in the price of goods significantly impacts poverty alleviation in the long term. Furthermore, trade has no significant effect in the long term in both positive and negative shocks. The short-term estimation results show that all variables are significant for positive and negative shocks, except for positive shocks of inflation and negative shocks of trade. Therefore, it is recommended that the government adopt a poverty reduction program by improving more stable economic growth instruments, increasing foreign investment that is more labor-intensive, and controlling inflation more effectively to avoid unreasonable increases in the price of goods.

Students value relationship building in a student mentorship program
Authors: Koziol Jennifer H. , Wagner Sarah A.
Published: August 2024

OBJECTIVE

To assess the needs and values of students regarding a new mentoring program.

METHODS

An online survey was developed and sent to veterinary students through institutional email at the beginning and end of the year of initiating a faculty-student mentorship program

RESULTS

In September and May, the most commonly desired outcome of the program for students was the building of relationships. In the fall, the most anticipated concerns were that the meetings would not occur or there would be incompatibility between mentors and mentees. In the spring, the most common concerns were that some faculty were disinterested or meetings did not happen.

CONCLUSIONS

The experiences of veterinary students in the faculty-student mentoring program were often positive but variable. At the outset, students were hoping to build relationships through the program, and in May, some of them reported that this objective had been fulfilled. However, some students expressed frustration with faculty disengagement with the program. A faculty-student mentorship program has the potential to build relationships between students and faculty when faculty are engaged participants in the program.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Based on our findings, students are eager to build relationships with faculty within the context of a faculty-student mentorship program, and this goal is achievable. However, much depends on the engagement and participation of the faculty, which was incomplete using our approach of assigning all faculty to participate.

Published: August 2024

Objective. The hormonal balance is dependent on the internal and external stimuli. The baseline cortisol (BC) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels have been observed to vary and have a predictive value in critical illness settings. Few reports have studied their variation in non-severe acute illness. The present study aims to describe the variation of BC and TSH levels and to determine the factors influencing BC and TSH levels in patients admitted with non-severe acute illness.

Patients and Methods. This is a cross-sectional study of patients admitted to Infectious Diseases and Endocrinology units at the Department of Endocrinology-Diabetology and Internal Medicine at Tahar Sfar University Hospital between March 15th and September 15th, 2020. BC and TSH levels were obtained during the hospitalization.

Results. A total of 143 patients were included in this study with 75 presenting with infection. All infections were community-acquired and predominantly non-severe. The BC levels were higher in patients with infection (p=0.004), especially those admitted via the emergency department (p=0.009) with a fever (p=0.015). The BC positively correlated with the temperature (p=0.002, r’=0.350), CRP levels (p=0.002, r’=0.355), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (p=0.045, r’=0.235), and SOFA score (p=0.023, r’=0.262). On the other hand, TSH levels were comparable in the presence of infection (p=0.400). TSH levels did not correlate with the fever, the severity of infection, or inflammation biomarkers. Both BC and TSH did not predict unfavorable outcomes in non-severe infected patients.

Conclusion. In patients admitted with critical acute infections, the BC levels seem to indicate a relatively more severe infectious state. On the other hand, TSH levels did not show significant variations in these patients.

Successful treatment with flow diverter for small carotid cavernous aneurysm with oculomotor palsy: A case re port
Authors: Yokoyama Takahiro , Hoshino Tatsuya , Nakamura Suguru , Kawamata Takakazu
Published: August 2024

The effectiveness of flow diverters (FDs) in treating small aneurysms that cause neurological symptoms remains unclear. We present a case of a small carotid cavernous aneurysm (CCA) with oculomotor palsy treated early with an FD, resulting in favorable outcomes. A 74-year-old woman presented with a rapidly progressing left pupil-sparing oculomotor palsy. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography angiography demonstrated a 4-mm CCA arising from the lateral wall of the left internal carotid artery (ICA). Further, investigation suggested that the oculomotor palsy could be caused by the small CCA or benign Tolosa–Hunt syndrome. On the 4th day of admission, we initiated steroid therapy simultaneously with antiplatelet therapy for diagnosis and treatment; however, the symptoms did not improve. Consequently, on the 12th day of admission, we performed an endovascular procedure for the small CCA using an FD, expecting decreased aneurysm’s pulsation and mass effect on the oculomotor nerve. Dual antiplatelet therapy and steroid therapy were initiated simultaneously 7 days before endovascular treatment. A pipeline embolization device was deployed between the left C7 segment of the ICA, just proximal to the left anterior choroidal artery, and the C3 segment. Post-procedure digital subtraction angiography (DSA) revealed no changes in aneurysm findings. Oculomotor palsy substantially improved immediately after the procedure. The patient had an uneventful course after the procedure, and follow-up DSA after 6 months revealed complete obliteration of the aneurysm. We successfully treated a case of small CCA with oculomotor palsy using early intervention with an FD, suggesting the effectiveness of this approach in addressing small CCAs causing neurological symptoms. However, further studies are required to confirm the optimal nature of FDs.

Published: August 2024

Background

The outcome of kidney transplantation is determined by multiple factors and infections represent one of the major factors affecting graft and patient survival. Recent COVID-19 pandemic have adversely affected the transplant population. Very little data is available on post-transplant infections and patient survival from India.

Materials and Methods

In this retrospective observational study, data related to post-transplant infections from patients who had undergone renal transplantation between October 2014 and October 2021 were collected.

Results

A total of 255 infections episodes were observed in 118 patients. Bacterial infections were the most common (55%) followed by viral (35%), fungal (5%), mycobacterial (4%), and parasitic (1%). The most common bacterial and viral infections were urinary tract infections (70.5%) and COVID-19 (56%), respectively. BK virus and COVID-19 were associated with increased graft loss (p < 0.05). The majority of deaths due to infections were related to COVID-19 infection (71.42%). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed 1-, 3-, and 5-year patient survival of 98.23%, 96.36%, and 92.90% and graft survival of 98.14%, 95.97%, and 91.78, respectively.

Conclusion

Infections with their adverse impact remain a concern in kidney transplant patients. Comparable patient and graft survival to the Western data despite the high infection burden and the COVID-19 pandemic suggests that effective management can reduce the impact of infections on survival.

Background:

Intranasal meningoencephaloceles are rarely encountered in pediatric neurosurgery. The symptoms and clinical features may mimic those of nasal polyps or dermoid cysts. Transethmoidal meningoencephalocele is a rare congenital meningoencephalocele of the anterior skull base with diverse clinical presentation. The appropriate surgical intervention is chosen according to the meningoencephalocele type and location. Radiological examinations such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are helpful for the differential diagnosis of the encephalocele sac and localization of the cranial bone defect.

Case Description:

We are reporting a case of basal meningoencephalocele of the transethmoidal type, which was discovered in a 20-day-old boy presenting with cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, respiratory distress, difficulty in feeding, and meningitis. The preoperative images showed a large herniated intranasal sac with bony discontinuity of the cribriform plate; however, three discrete defects of the cribriform plate with their related discrete herniated sacs were identified intraoperatively. Two staged surgeries were performed in succession: transcranial to separate the sacs from the cranial cavity and seal the anterior fossa floor, followed by transnasal to remove the remnant of the intranasal sacs. Patient symptoms and signs markedly improved after the surgeries.

Conclusion:

We highlight the need for urgent intervention at a very young age if the clinical presentation mandates, and also the importance of meticulous intraoperative identification of all bony and dural defects that might be missed in preoperative images to ensure complete repair and prevent recurrence.

Published: August 2024

Background:

A flow redirection endoluminal device (FRED) is a widely used flow diverter stent. Although high technical success and good treatment results were reported in the SAFE study, cases of technical failure of deployment have also been reported. A case in which a FRED was deployed with the proximal part twisted, but successful deployment was achieved, is presented.

Case Description:

A woman in her 40s was diagnosed with a left internal carotid artery aneurysm during radiological investigations for headaches. Due to her family’s strong history of cerebral aneurysms, she opted for preventive treatment. A 5.5-mm FRED was selected because the proximal vessel diameter was ≥5 mm. However, the stent was deployed with the proximal side twisted. Fortunately, using a Scepter C and a CHIKAI 315 cm, the true lumen could be secure, the wire was guided distally, and the FRED was successfully placed. Later, with the patient’s consent, a 3D blood vessel model was created, and whether the stent was difficult to open or whether it was just a technical problem which was verified experimentally. Precisely, the same situation as during the surgery was recreated, and the stent was deployed in the same way.

Conclusion:

A FRED is an effective device, but there are cases of difficult deployment. The present method may be an option if a FRED is difficult to open.

Published: August 2024

Background:

Cranial nerve palsy (CNP) in patients with intracranial aneurysms (IAs) can impose significant burdens on a patient’s quality of life. The literature has a paucity of reviews addressing patterns of overall reported cranial nerve (CN) involvement and outcomes in patients with IA.

Methods:

The literature systematically reviewed CNP at presentation in the setting of IA using PubMed, Web-of-Science, and Scopus according to the PRISMA guidelines.

Results:

Fifty-two studies reported a total of 513 patients with IA and 630 CNPs observed at presentation: oculomotor (58.25%), abducent (15.87%), optic (12.06%), trochlear (8.7%), and trigeminal (1.9%). Most common aneurysms are located in a posterior communicating artery (46%) and cavernous internal carotid artery (29.2%). Trends of CNP based on the rupture status of IAs showed that 80% were associated with unruptured IAs and 20% with ruptured IAs. Post-treatment of IA, 55% of patients had complete resolution of CNP, with most (89%; n = 134) resolving within the first 6 months. Stratified by CNP type: Complete resolution rate is 100% in CN VII–IX, 60% in CN VI, 59% in CN IV, 54% in CN III, 45% in CN V, and 43% in CN II.

Conclusion:

In patients with cranial nerve palsies attributed to IAs, the location and rupture status of the aneurysm could determine the type and severity of the nerve palsy. Most patients experienced favorable outcomes in terms of their resolution and long-term function of the CNP after treatment of the IA.
Neuroanatomical refinement of Kocher’s point for enhanced precision in ventriculostomy: A technical note and a literature review
Authors: Sulaiman Injam Ibrahim
Published: August 2024

Background:

This study was designed to assess the effectiveness and safety of using a modified Kocher’s point for ventriculostomy using endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) and external ventricular drainage (EVD) in 200 patients at PAR Private Hospital in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan.

Methods:

In this retrospective analysis, a total of 200 patients who were diagnosed with obstructive hydrocephalus and underwent ETV and EVD utilizing a modified entry site were included. The revised Kocher point was located 11.5 cm posterior and superior to the nasion, 3 cm laterally, and 0–1 cm before the coronal suture.

Results:

The use of this modified Kocher’s point has brought much improvement in surgical precision and safety. This would minimize incidences of bleeding and misplacement of the catheters. The anatomical structure was well organized, and nothing was challenging in the process of traversing through the foramen of Monro into the third ventricle. It was easily introduced through the modified Kocher point with increasing efficacy and near zero possibility of sustaining injury to the limiting cerebral region.

Conclusion:

Using the modified point of Kocher provides added reliability and accuracy to ventriculostomy, thereby reducing complications and increasing the overall outcome of surgeries. It overcomes all the drawbacks of classical entry sites and, further, helps in increasing the productivity of ETV and EVD. More research must be done to support the benefits of this modification in other clinical settings.

Published: August 2024

The calculation of volume within a three-dimensional structure has the potential to determine its enclosed mass. This research aims to create a system that utilizes data from the HC-SR04 sensor to calculate volume, incorporating the Internet of Things (IoT) for remote monitoring. The study involves the use of HC-SR04 and DHT11 sensors to gather data on filled height and temperature. The measurement approach encompasses mathematical formulas for volume and surface area that correspond to the shape of the compartment. The ESP32 microcontroller serves as the central processing unit. Experimental trials are conducted, manipulating different height levels within the object. The results reveal differences between theoretical estimations and sensor-derived assessments, highlighted by varying outcomes in specific scenarios. The calculated volume of the filled compartment is displayed on OLED-1 and transmitted through the Blynk application. This study significantly contributes to the advancement of a sensor- and IoT-driven monitoring infrastructure, facilitating the observation of filled height and volume in physical objects. Despite certain variations observed in the trials, the outcomes consistently demonstrate minimal error rates.

Published: August 2024

Lemukutan Island is an island administratively located in Bengkayang Regency, West Kalimantan province. Currently, electrical energy on Lemukutan Island is supplied by 1 unit of Diesel Power Plant (PLTD) which has an installed capacity of 140 kW, but PLTD only operates 14 hours/day, from 16.00 to 06.00 WIB. One of the efforts to be able to provide 24-hour electricity services on Lemukutan Island can be done by operating PLTD for 24 hours and alternative efforts by utilizing hybrid Solar Power Plants (PLTS). In a hybrid system between PLTD and PLTS, researchers calculate the capacity of solar panels, calculate the number of batteries, calculate the number of solar charge contoller, and calculate the capacity of the inverter to be used. The economic analysis used only calculates the initial investment cost and O&M costs. Based on the calculation of solar panels used as many as 1473 units with a capacity of 550 Wp, the total watt-peak power is 810 kWp, batteries with a total energy of 2418.9 kWh, Solar Charge Controller using 207 units and 7 inverter units. In the calculation of the total initial investment costs incurred amounted to Rp.10,122,917,594 and investment cost of Rp. 12,497,429/kWp if the installation cost is 0.6%. O&M costs amounted to Rp.101,229,175 while the operational and maintenance costs that must be incurred in accordance with the age of the PLTS project that is run following the life of solar panels for 25 years amounted to Rp. 1,760,485,107.
