Authors: Yudhika Elrifi M. , Rangga Bawono Icuk , Pribadi Angelia , Shila Aryanti Novalinda
Published: June 2024

Based on the moral paradigm of Self-Determination Theory (SDT), an organization should encourage individuals to maintain ethical behavior through an internalization process. This study captures the views of police department personnel about unethical behavior, namely corruption, especially corruption in a new digital-normal era. This study measures the internalization level of ethical behavior through salary satisfaction and locus of control. The study uses a questionnaire to reveal the internalization level of ethical behavior and police officers as respondents. Results show that ethical behavior is internalized in intrinsic motivation form. Therefore, this study contributes to a new paradigm of SDT (moral paradigm) and ethical practice by developing the self-belief of an officer in the new digital normal era.

The Impact of Financial Literacy, FinTech Utilization, and Literacy of Risk in FinTech on MSMEs Business Continuity in Yogyakarta
Authors: Ayu Aprialita Elma , Harisa Putri Wika , Arwi Hasthoro Handoko
Published: June 2024

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) can face significant challenges, including financial interruptions, operational hazards, and inadequate financial management. The government’s efforts to safeguard the sustainability of MSMEs include implementing priority support programs, providing working capital credit, and promoting their digitalization. Risk considerations impede the successful adoption of financial technology (FinTech), presenting obstacles to company continuity. This study aims to ascertain the impact of financial literacy, FinTech utilization, and literacy of risk in FinTech on the continuity of MSMEs in Yogyakarta. One hundred twelve samples of the entrepreneurs in Yogyakarta were acquired using a nonprobability sampling technique. However, after implementing rigorous data purification methods, only 100 sample replies were deemed suitable for data processing. The data from the investigations were examined using multiple linear regression. The study’s findings suggest that the introduction of FinTech-based partial assessments for financial literacy and literacy of risk in FinTech significantly affects the ability of small companies in Yogyakarta to continue their economic operations. Conversely, the utilization of FinTech has little impact on the uninterrupted operation of MSMEs in Yogyakarta.

Diseases caused by human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1)
Authors: Radygina Lubov V. , Mochalova Larisa V.
Published: June 2024

INTRODUCTION: Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) belongs to the Retroviridae family (genus Deltaretrovirus) and is directly involved in carcinogenesis. The HTLV-1 genome is represented by plus-strand RNA, which is transcribed into proviral DNA and then integrated into the genome of the host cell. After integration, HTLV-1 is present in the cells in the form of a provirus. As in the case of the human immunodeficiency virus, the main targets of HTLV-1 are CD4+ T lymphocytes. The virus is transmitted sexually, through blood transfusion, and breastfeeding by biological fluids – sperm, blood, and breast milk. The epidemiology of HTLV-1 remains a mystery: clusters of high endemicity are often located near areas where the virus is virtually absent.

AIM: To analyze and discuss the clinical picture, diagnostics, and treatment of diseases caused by HTLV-1.

METHODS: A literature search was conducted in the databases PubMed, eLIBRARY.ru, and cyberleninka.ru using the keywords: “HTLV-1” + “diseases”, “HTLV-1” + “diagnosis”, “HTLV-1” + “epidemiology”, “HTLV-1” + “treatment”, “HTLV-1” + “Russia” in English and Russian languages. The primary search was conducted for papers published in 2020–2024.

RESULTS: HTLV-1 infection is associated with diseases such as T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis. HTLV-1 infection causes pathologies in most organs of the human body. Because diseases associated with HTLV-1 are most often asymptomatic, etiological diagnoses are performed at the stage of pathological development or when screening donor blood for pathogens.

CONCLUSION: In this review, we analyzed and discussed the clinical manifestations and course of diseases caused by HTLV-1, their diagnosis, and treatment. The lack of reliable population-based studies on the prevalence of this virus is alarming. In fact, HTLV-1 is diagnosed only in blood donors and pregnant women. Currently, this virus is considered endemic to several territories (Africa, Australia, the Middle East, Japan, etc.) and some indigenous peoples. However, we consider it important to draw the attention of both epidemiologists and clinicians to HTLV-1, given the unprecedented migration flows and international connections in the modern world.
A páneurópai nyugdíjtermék egyelőre nem sikertörténet
Authors: Molnár Andrea , Nyeső Anita , Szenthelyi Dávid , Török László
Published: June 2024

Az Európai Bizottság kiemelkedő fontosságot tulajdonított a páneurópai egyéni nyugdíjterméknek (Pan-European Personal Pension Product - PEPP), amely az egységes uniós piacon terjeszthető és a tagországok között hordozható. A 2022 márciusában bevezetett termék egyelőre nem tűnik sikertörténetnek, mivel az elmúlt több mint két évben mindössze egy pénzügyi szolgáltató lépett a PEPP piacára. Úgy tűnik, a szabályozás több olyan komplex feltételrendszert határoz meg, amely miatt a PEPP fejlesztése nem vonzó a meglévő termékek mellett. A Magyar Nemzeti Bank szakértői a PEPP előkészítése során felhívták a figyelmet arra, hogy a nyugdíj-megtakarítások alacsony elterjedtsége mögött elsősorban keresleti és nem kínálati problémát látnak. A megfelelő szintű megtakarítási hajlandóság eléréséhez inkább a már piacon lévő termékeknél az ösztönzők fejlesztése, automatizmusok beépítése, munkáltatói szerepvállalás erősítése jelenthetné a megoldást.

Published: June 2024

The principle of inadmissibility of restricting or eliminating competition in the field of education in relation to public policy implies either the creation of equal conditions for competition, or non-interference of authorities in the processes of competition in the field of education, and the establishment of rules of conduct and legal mechanisms to ensure their compliance with legal regulation. The field of educational services is segmented by types of educational services (education levels, specialties, etc.), each of which represents a separate commodity market. Competition exists between educational organizations, and between educational programs, faculties, departments, scientific schools and other structural elements of the educational process as an activity. The application of the term “competition” to the educational sphere is conditionally permissible, in the field of education it is important to ensure not so much the development of competition as an independent activity of educational organizations, as to create a mechanism for determining the leadership of educational institutions and their structural elements, ensuring fair and non-discriminatory access to those educational services in which a particular consumer is interested.

Potential of Animal Bile as Bio-molluscicide against Land Snail Monacha cartusiana
Authors: Murshed Mutee , Ansi Amin Nagi Al , Mohamed Osama B.
Published: June 2024

Background: One of the pests that can be detrimental to crops in agroecosystems is the land snail, also known as Monacha cartusiana. Molluscicides that are chemical are the first line of defense against land snails; however, because of their toxicity to both land and aquatic life, there has been an increase in interest in the discovery of biological molluscicides that are acceptable and eco-friendly. These molluscicides are a natural and environmentally safe alternative to synthetic poisons. Methods: The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of animal bile liquid against Monacha cartusiana in vitro. Molluscicides were tested using a dipping approach on snails isolated from agricultural land. PBS was utilized as a control. Furthermore, four different concentrations of extract (12.5, 25, 50 and 100%) were evaluated across different periods, and changes in snail viability were recorded (5, 10, 20 and 40 minutes). A chemical analysis was carried out using GC-MS to determine the presence of numerous expected active chemical components in animal bile fluids. Result: The results clear that the bile had significant efficacy in killing snails at 100%, 61%, 41% and 20% after 20 hours. The findings suggest that bile contains potent chemicals and is a promising strategy for molluscicide. More research is needed to identify the specific active compounds found in animal bile, as well as their modes of action and application in vivo.
Issues and Challenges of Communicating Interfacility Transfer Patient Information in the United States: A Systematic Review
Authors: Galatzan Benjamin J. , Johnson Elizabeth , Judson Tonya
Published: June 2024

Background:The interfacility transfer places the patient at greater risk for poor outcomes due to outdated, inaccurate, or miscommunication of patient information at the time of transfer. Rural patients are at greater risk for poor outcomes due to experiencing a higher rate of transfers because of health care inequities related to limited access to specialty and critical care services. This paper systematically reviewed the literature to describe the current state of interfacility transfer communication practices and methods in the United States.Methods:The review followed the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines and checklist. PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus were searched using MeSH terms and keywords. Inclusion criteria: peer-reviewed research articles published in English from 2013 to 2022 in the United States and included both adult and pediatric patient transfers. It was noted that there is a lack of research on nursing-based interfacility transfer communication practices and methods.Results:A total of 763 articles were reviewed, and 24 met eligibility for inclusion. The following coded themes were identified in the research literature: transfer patient characteristics and geographic barriers, communication challenges, transfer process, interoperability, digital intervention, and standardized transfer tools.Conclusion:The development and implementation of an integrated standardized interfacility transfer communication tool are warranted to decrease miscommunication and improve patient outcomes. The integration of technologies such as telehealth, the use of health information exchanges, and improved interoperability between health systems can improve communication and outcomes for all transfer patients but specifically rural transfers. Additionally, health care workers, particularly those in rural areas, need adequate infrastructure and financial resources to achieve positive patient outcomes.

Authors: Kuipers Yvonne , Bosmans Valerie , De Bock Vanessa , Van de Craen Natacha , Mestdagh Eveline
Published: June 2024

Aim:The aim of the study is to explore the perceived reality and subjective importance of shared decision-making (SDM) during antenatal, intrapartum, and/or postpartum care, provided by the midwife and/or obstetrician.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among women in Flanders, Belgium. SDM was measured with the Observing PatienT InvOlvemeNt scale. The differences between perceived reality and subjective importance of SDM were examined usingttests. A multivariate generalized linear model tested the main and interaction effects between SDM and the maternity care providers and the perinatal care periods. Bonferroni post hoc tests examined further significance.Results:A total of 1,216 pregnant and postpartum participants completed 1,987 self-reports of perceived reality and subjective importance of SDM. The community midwives’ SDM was evaluated 924/1,987 times, the hospital midwives’ SDM 309/1,987 times, and the obstetricians’ SDM 754/1,987 times. Perceived reality and subjective importance of SDM showed significant differences between care professionals (p< .001;p< .001), explained by the differences between community and hospital midwives’ SDM (p< .001,d.85;p< .001;d.28) and between community midwives and obstetricians’ SDM (p< .001,d.72;p< .001;d.31).Conclusions:The findings indicate optimizing the decision-making process during perinatal care by aligning subjective importance and perceived reality of SDM throughout the perinatal care episodes. Community midwives seem to be benchmarkers of shared decision-making during perinatal care.

Authors: Nziengui Nsonde Beralex Vianney , Mandoumoou Paulin , Kpazaï Georges
Published: June 2024

In the Republic of Congo, formal teacher training is comprised of both theoretical and practical components. Theoretical training takes the form of theoretical courses within the training institution itself. On the other hand, practical training takes place in professional settings such as secondary school. The purpose of this comparative study was to identify the conceptions of critical thinking development held by pedagogical supervisors and student trainees. Rooted in a qualitative methodological approach, this research was based on Eric Lavertu's (2013) conceptual approach to the development of critical thinking during internships. Eight (08) pedagogical supervisors and nineteen (19) student-interns voluntarily participated in the study via focus groups. The results revealed a categorization of several didactic-pedagogical devices for the development of student-interns' critical thinking, according to both the pedagogical supervisors and the studentinterns themselves. To foster the development of critical thinking in student trainees, the devices mentioned specify that the supervisor must implement a supervisory pedagogical approach anchored in a socio-constructivist paradigm to accompany the student's development while employing a reflective approach in coaching. In addition, these systems stress the importance of placing the student at the center of their learning, making them a real player in their own development.

The RoL method is a visual narrative method that helps people tell stories of the past, present, and future. Individuals can use this method to introduce themselves in a fun and descriptive way. A group can use it to understand and reflect on the past and imagine the future of a project. Besides, it can also be used to build a shared view of a process over time while acknowledging different and perhaps contradictory perspectives. The method uses drawings rather than text, making it useful in groups that do not share a common language. Metaphors from a river are used to explore aspects of a story – such as whirlpools depicting challenges or lakes suggesting a sense of calm etc. When used in a group, it is an active method, engaging people in the process of storytelling and listening through visualising their experiences and using metaphors to explore in depth. In CLARISSA, we adapted the RoL method to document our collective understanding of the story of implementation of the programme as part of the programme’s monitoring, evaluation and learning component. The purpose was to surface the details of our process of the systemic Action Research that we are undertaking with children in the worst forms of child labour and business owners. We used the same river metaphors as is often applied when the method is used with individuals.

In this article, we introduced the truncated versions (lower, upper and double) of xgamma distribution (Sen et al. 2016). In particular, different structural and distributional properties such as moments, popular entropy measures, order statistics and survival characteristics of the upper truncated xgamma distribution are discussed in detail. We briefly describe different estimation methods, namely the maximum likelihood, ordinary least squares, weighted least square and L-Moments. Monte Carlo simulation experiments are performed for comparing the performances of the proposed methods of estimation for both small and large samples under the lower, upper and double versions. Two applications are provided, the first one comparing estimationmethods and the other for illustrating the applicability of the new model.

Objective:
Immunocompromised hosts (ICH) are at a higher risk of severe infections and mortality. This study aimed to examine the clinical manifestations and outcomes of ICH who were admitted to the hospital for COVID-19.
Method:
A total of 384 patients (mean age 61.515.9 y, 168 female) who were hospitalized between March 2020 and December 2020 were included in the study. These patients were examined in three groups: the ICH (n=40), comorbid patients (n=101), and the control group comprising immunocompetent patients without any comorbidities (n=243). All clinical and laboratory data were retrieved from the electronic hospital records and compared between the three groups retrospectively.
Results:
The mean age was 61.215.0 for ICH, 66.112.3 for comorbid, and 59.617.0 for control groups (p=0.003). We found that the mean leukocyte and neutrophil counts, C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, and D-Dimer levels were significantly higher and the albumin level was lower in ICH compared to the other two groups (p

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Çocuk ve Ergen Ruh Sağlığı Adli Kurulumuza sevk edilen velayet olgularının demografik ve klinik özelliklerinin incelenmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Ege Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Çocuk ve Ergen Psikiyatrisi Anabilim Dalı’na Ocak 2011-Aralık 2021 tarihleri arasında velayet nedeniyle yönlendirilen 77 olgunun dosya bilgileri geriye dönük incelenmiştir. Olguların sosyodemografik özellikleri, aile yapıları, adli heyet raporları değerlendirilmiştir.

Bulgular: Olguların %62,3’ü (n= 48) kızdır.Yaş ortalamaları 9.09 ±3.79 ‘tur. Olguların %26’sının (n=20) , annelerin %13,6’sı (n= 9), babaların %12,1’i (n= 8) en az bir psikiyatrik tanısı mevcuttur. Olguların % 72,7 ‘sinin velayet , %27,3 ‘ünün kişisel ilişki düzenlenmesi açısından değerlendirilmesi istenmiştir. Boşanma davalarının %27,3’ünün halen sürmekte olduğu, çocukların velayetinin / geçici velayetinin çoğunlukla (%92,2) annelerde olduğu ve olguların büyük çoğunluğunun ( %84,4) anne ile birlikte yaşadığı belirlenmiştir. Rapor sonuçlarına göre velayetin çoğunlukla (%64,3) anneye verilmesi, dört (%7,1) olguda tekrar değerlendirmenin uygun olacağı kanaatine varıldığı görülmüştür.

Sonuç: Velayet ve kişisel ilişki kararı, çocuğun yüksek yararı gözetilerek dikkatli bir değerlendirmeyi gerektirir. Boşanma sürecinde çocukların özel ihtiyaçlarının fark edilmesi sonraki yaşamlarında olumsuz sonuçların önlenmesi için önemlidir. Bu nedenle farklı meslek gruplarının objektif ve bilimsel ölçütlere göre, işbirliği içerisinde değerlendirme yapması oldukça önemlidir.

Aim: To examine the changes in the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) with Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) in individuals diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), according to Global Initiative For Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD).
Materials and Methods: The study consisted of people 18 years or older, including 76 patients with COPD and 80 healthy control groups. Patients with COPD have been examined in four groups A, B, C and D, according to GOLD. RNFL thickness was examined through Optic Nerve Head (ONH) centered in four quadrants; superior, inferior, temporal, and nasal.
Results: In the Optic Nerve Head-centered peripapillary area, the RNFL thickness was observed the thinnest in the inferior quadrant in GOLD B, GOLD C, and GOLD D groups (p=0.002). In the temporal quadrant, GOLD A and GOLD C groups were the thickest (p=0.001).
Conclusion: The patients with COPD included in our study were divided into groups by evaluating them according to the updated GOLD criteria and we think that this aspect has added richness to the literature. It would be appropriate to consult in terms of eye diseases for the evaluation of retinal functions in COPD patients.
Opere Edilmiş ve Radyoterapi Almış Oligodendrogliom Olgusunda Nöbet Ve Hemiplejiyle Prezente Olan SMART sendromu

Published: June 2024

Giriş: Radyoterapinin geç gecikmiş komplikasyonlarından olan SMART sendromu; baş ağrısı, fokal nöbet ve nörolojik defisitler ile karakterize subakut gelişimli bir tablodur. Klinik tablo ile beraber spesifik görüntüleme bulguları olan giral leptomeningeal kontrastlanma, kortikal gri cevherde kalınlaşma ve FLAIR’de hiperintens görünüm ile tanısı konabilir.
Olgu Sunumu: 10 yıl önce sağ paryetooksipital anaplastik oligodendrogliom nedenli opere edilmiş, kemoterapi ve radyoterapi uygulanmış 58 yaşında erkek hasta subakut seyirli sol fokal başlangıçlı sekonder jeneralize nöbetler, baş ağrısı ve sol hemiparezi gelişmesi nedeniyle kliniğimize yatırıldı. Kan ve beyin omurilik sıvısı bakısında özellik olmayan, manyetik rezonans görüntülemesinde nüks saptanmayan hastada sağ frontoparyetotemporal leptomeningeal giral kontrastlanma ve FLAIR’de hiperintens kortikal kalınlaşma saptanması sonucu SMART sendromu tanısı kondu ve steroid tedavisi uygulandı. Tedaviden yarar gören hastanın klinik ve radyolojik bulgularında belirgin düzelme oldu.
Tartışma: SMARTsendromu tedavisinde steroid tedavisi önerilmekle beraber tedavisiz olarak da tablonun kendini sınırladığı bildirilmiştir. Nadir görülmesi nedeniyle patogenezine ve nasıl yönetileceğine dair hala pek çok açıklanmamış nokta bulunmaktadır.
Sonuç: Radyoterapi almış tümör olgularında yıllar sonra gelişen progresyon durumunda olası tüm patolojiler dışlandıktan sonra SMART sendromu tanısı konması prognozu öngörme açısından önemlidir.
