Authors: Kwon Jin Woo , Jee Donghyun
Published: March 2024

Purpose: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of cataract surgery for the beginners using intraocular illumination compared to the case of using microscope illumination.Methods: A Markov model was constructed for cost-effectiveness analysis. Hypothetical Korean men and women over 50 years of age were set as a cohort, and cataract surgeons were limited to beginners with less than 2 years of experience. Cataracts were classified as severe cataracts requiring surgery and mild cataracts that did not require surgery. Cataracts was assumed to progress to severe cataracts in 10% of each year. A cost-effectiveness analysis was performed based on the difference in the complications of surgery according to intraocular and microscope illumination. For the cost, data from the National Health Insurance Corporation were used, and a micro cost calculation method was used. In the utility analysis, data from previous studies were used for utility in each cataract and complication status. Sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the uncertainty of the results.Results: The surgery using microscope intraocular illumination showed the cost of 3,168,895 won, and the quality-adjusted life years of 16.4 years. The surgery of intraocular illumination showed the cost of 3,200,552 won and the quality-adjusted life years of 16.5 years. the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of intraocular illumination was 1,675,630 won compared to microscope illumination. In the sensitivity analysis to, the utility of postoperative state without complication had the greatest influence on the results.Conclusions: For beginners with less than 2 years of surgical experience, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was 1,675,630 won, which is acceptable in Korea's health care system, when comparing the case of using intraocular illumination to the case of using conventional microscope illumination.

Authors: Kang Hyunkyoo , Shin Hyun Jin
Published: March 2024

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate binocular visual function and ocular fatigue after the use of smart glasses.Methods: A total of 17 healthy volunteers (age range 13-45 years) were examined for ocular fatigue before and after watching videos for 20 minutes with a binocular smart glasses device. Subjective ocular fatigue was evaluated using a Virtual Reality Symptom Questionnaire (VRSQ). Objective fatigue was measured using the high-frequency component of accommodative microfluctuation. Accommodation amplitude was measured using the push-up method. Changes in the spherical equivalent were also measured using an autorefractometer. Strabismus angles were measured at distant (6 m) and near fixation (33 cm) in primary. Contrast sensitivity tests using the Pelli-Robson chart was performed. Accommodative convergence/accommodation (AC/A) ratio was measured by gradient methods.Results: Subjective ocular fatigue, as indicated by the VRSQ scores, significantly increased after using the smart glasses (p = 0.001). The high-frequency component of accommodative microfluctuation increased in both eyes (p < 0.05). Accommodation amplitude was decreased, and temporary myopia was observed in both eyes (all p < 0.05). However, there was no significant increase in general fatigue according to the VRSQ. Parameters including strabismus angle, AC/A ratio, and contrast sensitivity showed no significant differences before and after smart glasses usage (p > 0.05).Conclusions: The increased high-frequency component of accommodative microfluctuation, decreased accommodation amplitude, and elevated ocular fatigue scores measured by the VRSQ indicate a potential association between the use of smart glasses and ocular fatigue. Further investigations are warranted to explore methodologies for mitigating ocular fatigue and elucidating the potential risk of temporary myopic shifts arising from the utilization of smart glasses.

What’s Moral Distress Got to Do With It? How to Avoid Burnout and Optimize Patient Care
Authors: He Bowen , Finkelstein Claudia A , Symonds Lynn , Uy Natalie F , Linden Hannah M
Published: March 2024

Burnout, estimated to affect between 40-80% of healthcare professionals, is a complex issue encompassing emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a decreased sense of personal accomplishment. The Stanford Model of Professional Fulfillment considers both individual and system-level factors with three main elements of efficiency of practice, personal resilience, and culture of wellness. Dr. Finkelstein’s alternate model for burnout reimagines the Stanford Model with three main factors contributing to burnout: inevitable suffering, moral distress, and “extra junk.”

In Dr. Finkelstein’s alternate model, inevitable suffering arises from the emotional toll of providing patient care. While interventions like coaching, therapy, and mindfulness are beneficial, they must be offered genuinely, not as profit-driven schemes. “Extra junk” refers to administrative burdens that take away from patient care. Some initiatives aim to alleviate these burdens, but their effectiveness needs critical evaluation. Finally, moral distress occurs when external constraints hinder an individual’s ethical actions.

Burnout affects not just individual professionals but also the entire healthcare system, leading to early retirements, lower quality care, and worsening health outcomes. Recognizing this, the US Surgeon General has outlined an approach to address burnout that requires cultural changes at all levels of the healthcare ecosystem.

Healthcare professionals are resilient, and part of the solution lies in individual recognition of burnout, work-life balance, and finding joy in work. However, larger cultural shifts towards justice and equity, both within healthcare and broader society, are needed. This includes prioritizing workforce diversity, humane sick and maternity leave policies, and reducing unnecessary administrative burdens. Academic institutions also have a role in promoting mentorship, recognizing the contributions of underrepresented groups, and supporting burnout research. Addressing burnout effectively requires a comprehensive approach that considers individual and system-level factors, advocating for systemic reforms, and prioritizing justice and equity within the healthcare ecosystem.

Published: March 2024

Modern agricultural practices have caused severe impacts on nature, especially in traditional communities such as indigenous peoples, leading to the loss of knowledge about traditional agriculture. The objective of this study was to carry out a bibliographical survey of works on indigenous agriculture in Brazil in the period between 2011 and 2021. Papers in the form of thesis, dissertations and abstracts were excluded, as well as articles that, despite including the term indigenous agriculture in the text, did not address the subject as the main theme. The selected articles were analyzed in order to determine the main agricultural practices used by indigenous people in Brazil. Data analysis took place in a qualitative manner. The analyzed studies covered 69 ethnic groups and 87 ethnospecies were used in in their agriculture. Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) stood out as the most important species. The plantations are established in backyards, on the outskirts of the village or in coivara (slash-and-burn) fields. The choice of location for the fields and the planting of species are based on the traditional knowledge of each ethnic group. Cutting, burning, planting, cleaning, and harvesting actions are generally governed by the seasons. Religious influences are also cited in some ethnicities. The analysis of the word cloud presents the main themes addressed in the publications and demonstrates the undeniable link between issues involving the environment and the traditional knowledge when the central theme is indigenous peoples. The works suggest that many ethnic groups preserve their traditional agricultural practices, however the influence and changes caused by the arrival of modern agriculture are also perceived and caused an impact on the eating habits of several ethnic groups.

The transfer of the National Capital City (IKN) in the IKN Zero Point Area, in Penajam Paser Utara Regency, East Kalimantan carries the concept of a modern city, a sustainable city and an international class city. President Joko Widodo inaugurated Law Number 3 of 2022 concerning the National Capital as proof of the government's seriousness towards the new National Capital. As a marker of the beginning of the construction of the IKN in East Kalimantan, on March 14, 2022, President Joko Widodo performed a Kendi Nusantara ritual. This ritual unites the land and water of 34 provinces in Indonesia into an Nusantara Jug. This ritual is thought to bring to life a long-abandoned mystical tradition. For this reason, researchers are interested in revealing the meaning of connotations, denotations, and myths in the Kendi Nusantara ritual based on the Youtube live streaming of the Presidential Secretariat. The results showed that from the 5 scenes analyzed, there was a meaning of denotation, namely describing the form of local wisdom of the unification of land and water. The meaning of connotation is a ritual that contains the hope that the development of IKN runs smoothly. The meaning of the myth signifies the support of the Indonesian people in the development of IKN in order to avoid danger and be protected by God Almighty. An important message in the Kendi Nusantara ritual describes the unity, unity and diversity of Indonesian society, although it is inversely proportional to the concept of IKN as a sophisticated and modern city but still practices irrational mystical rituals.

Since the last two decades, the use of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites has garnered significant application considerations over the synthetic fiber reinforced composites due to their numerous advantages and unique properties. Likewise, epoxy resin has attracted the interest of many researchers for composite synthesis, basically because of its chemical stability, thermal and mechanical characteristics. Hence, the primary aim of this study was to investigate the influence of dombeya fiber and paper particulate on the physical and mechanical properties of dombeya fiber and paper particulate-reinforced polymer composites for structural applications. Dombeya fiber and paper particles are renewable and biodegradable materials, thereby making them environmentally friendly materials to replace synthetic materials. Hand lay-up technique was utilized to fabricate the hybrid-reinforced biocomposites after which they were subjected to mechanical, wear, density, and moisture absorption properties. The surface morphology of the fractured surface was also analyzed to investigate its microstructural features. It was discovered from the results that hybrid biocomposites demonstrated improved properties over the unreinforced composite, with composites from 9-wt% dombeya fiber-paper particles reinforced biocomposite exhibiting the most suitable properties with commensurate density with the unreinforced epoxy matrix. These obtained characteristics support the material as a suitable material for biomedical apparatus application such as orthopedic implants, surgical instruments, and bone fixation devices.

Published: March 2024

O livro didático (LD) vem sendo objeto de pesquisa científica desde o início do século passado, por ser um meio de comunicação de ampla produção e circulação e por sua relevância no ensino básico. Contudo, ainda há poucas pesquisas que investigam o processo de escolha destes materiais didáticos. Portanto, objetivou-se compreender a perspectiva de professores(as) de História, tendo como parâmetro as normativas do Programa Nacional de Livros Didáticos (PNLD) para o Ensino Médio de 2018. Investigou-se como ocorre este processo e quais são os critérios para a escolha destas ferramentas de ensino. Metodologicamente, trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que partiu de uma revisão bibliográfica sobre os livros didáticos, analisou os documentos do Fundo Nacional de Desenvolvimento da Educação (FNDE) e realizou uma pesquisa de campo com os professores(as) de História do Ensino Médio da rede pública estadual de Chapecó – SC e da rede federal do Instituto Federal de Santa Catarina (IFSC). Para o tratamento dos dados, recorreu-se à Análise de Conteúdo. Os resultados desta pesquisa inferem que apenas docentes do IFSC tiveram suas escolhas de LDs totalmente respeitadas. Além disso, identificaram-se falhas na adoção de medidas indicadas pelo PNLD em relação à transparência, à participação das secretarias e gestão escolar, e ao tempo para efetuar a escolha das obras. Observou-se também interferências das editoras na rede estadual. Em relação aos critérios de seleção destes(as) professores(as), percebeu-se prioridade quanto à corrente historiográfica adotada por estes materiais e à possibilidade de utilizar as imagens enquanto fontes históricas.

Com ênfase nas políticas públicas voltadas para a educação inclusiva, este estudo tem como objetivo analisar as políticas públicas de educação inclusiva no Estado de Rondônia, destacando os desafios enfrentados pela gestão pública e perspectivas para sua efetivação. A intenção é identificar lacunas e oportunidades na implementação dessas políticas, visando contribuir para o aprimoramento da atuação do poder público nesse contexto. Para atingir esse propósito, foi realizada uma abordagem de cunho bibliográfico, a partir de artigos científicos, livros e documentos oficiais relacionados às políticas públicas de educação inclusiva no Estado de Rondônia. A pesquisa contribuiu para identificar implicações políticas e pedagógicas no processo inclusivo. Constatou-se que a constante busca pela inclusão bem-sucedida nas escolas exige a colaboração de todos os envolvidos, a promoção de novos métodos de ensino, a avaliação contínua e a comunicação eficaz entre a escola e as famílias. Dessa forma, a inclusão é entendida como um processo em constante evolução que demanda esforços conjuntos para garantir um ambiente escolar inclusivo e acolhedor para todos os alunos.

Information and Communication Technologies over the past decades have enhanced University Teachers’ ability to provide effective and prompt teaching and learning. Therefore, this study explored University Teachers' behaviour intentions toward the use of digital technologies for teaching and learning in higher educational institutions in Ghana. We grounded our study on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) by testing the contributions of two key variables, the Cost of Internet Data and the Cost of Smart Phones to predict Behaviour Intentions (BI) of university teachers in three higher educational institutions towards the use of Digital Technologies (DTs) for online teaching and learning. We applied Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling for data analysis. Hypotheses testing on how the Cost of Internet Data and the Cost of Smartphones influence university teachers' Behaviour Intentions (BI) toward the use of Digital Technologies (DTs) were supported. The findings of our study further showed that university teachers’ intentions to use DTs are influenced by determinants such as social influence, personal experience, and facilitating conditions. The study concludes that the polarity in the findings could help the university authorities to understand the factors to consider in selecting appropriate digital technologies for teaching and learning in universities. The findings from this study are a template for University teachers to get governments to change policies that affect the introduction of digital technologies in higher educational institutions.

Project completion delays have adverse consequences on a contractor's credibility and result in additional penalty costs, reducing potential profits. To mitigate these issues and optimize project outcomes, refining activity schedules and budgets is crucial. The Earned Value Method proves effective in monitoring and controlling project activities. In the case of the Kediri airport access road construction project, weeks 1 to 6 revealed a negative Cost Variance (CV), indicating higher-than-planned costs, while weeks 7 to 8 showed a positive CV, suggesting costs were lower than anticipated. Schedule Variance (SV) for the 1st week was unfavorable, indicating a delay, and SV>1 from weeks 2 to 8 signaled a project delay. The Estimate to Complete (ETC) is IDR 17,470,510,292.77, and the Estimate at Complete (EAC) is IDR 32,509,153,464.05. The Time Estimate (TE) forecasts project completion in 89 calendar days, five days beyond the contracted 84 days. Employing the Earned Value Method enhances project performance evaluation and decision-making to avoid delays and cost overruns.
