RESEARCH AND EXTENSION PARTICIPATION OF PHYSICAL THERAPY FACULTY MEMBERS IN THE PRESENCE OF INTRINSIC-EXTRINSIC MOTIVATORS AND RELATED CRITERIA IN PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS
Authors: Bautista Lily Ann D.
Published: March 2024

Introduction: The three thrusts of the Commission on Higher Education revolve around instruction, research, and extension. Performance appraisals (PA) have been utilized in various forms in different organizations, with the expected outcome of excellent employee performance. However, despite its utilization in universities, research and extension-related criteria seem to be limited in the appraisals. The study aimed to determine the following: (1) the likelihood of research and extension participation if related criteria are included in the PAs of physical therapy faculty members; (2) the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and research or extension participation; (3) factors that are implemented or not by HEIs to enhance faculty engagement.

Methods: A mixed method design was utilized, with dominance of quantitative over qualitative data. Seventy-five full-time faculty members of Physical Therapy programs responded to the survey. Data were collected for six months using the Google Form online questionnaire. Spearman Rho and descriptive statistics were used to examine the results. Responses to open-ended questions were manually grouped into categories using thematic analysis.

Results: The research showed that physical therapy faculty members are more likely to participate in research and extension activities if related criteria are included in the appraisals. Further, the study revealed a significant relationship between the intent to participate in research and extension-related activities and intrinsic motivation, but it did not indicate an association when correlated with extrinsic motivation. Professional development is a strong intrinsic motivator.

Discussion: The inclusion of research and extension-related criteria in performance appraisals and consideration of intrinsic motivators must be considered by academic institutions to encourage faculty members to participate in research and extension activities. The author recommends maximizing the positive effects of performance appraisals by providing clear expectations to faculty members. Furthermore, intrinsic factors may serve as powerful motivators and, therefore, should be thought of to encourage participation. A strong, robust, well-supported policy centered on the organization’s vision, mission, and goals is necessary for successful implementation.

Published: March 2024

Harvested rainwater has shown lots of benefits in the universe including providing water in remote areas for their approximately safe usage and it also supports the global water demands due to inadequate amount of water supply for utilization. This present study was aimed at analyzing the impact of various roofing materials, galvanized iron tank and industrial activity on rainwater quality by determining the physicochemical characteristics, bacteriological properties and the metal composition of the roof types and storage medium. Rainwater was harvested from Cameroun zinc, stone-coated tiles, asbestos, corrugated iron roofs run-offs, and stored rainwater in galvanized iron tank and directly from the sky (control) in the urban and rural areas of Rivers State between the months of April-July, 2018. The results will be compared with the standards (NAFDAC, USEPA, WHO and NSDWQ) for drinking water quality and Water Quality Index (WQI) ratings since there is no standard for rainwater quality. Roofs ages from <5, 5-10, 15-20, and >25 years in service conditions and stored rainwater in storage vessels for the duration of one year and above were considered. Heavy metals were analyzed using Flame-AAS; other parameters were analyzed using standard methods. The WQI ratings were calculated using the weighted arithmetic method. Results obtained in both areas gave mean values ranging from 6.10-6.90 for pH, Temp., (20.00-28.00 oC), EC (17.00-132.00 µ?/cm), E. coli (no detection). Other results (mg/L) were; TDS (15.50-71.67), TSS (19.00- 84.67), Pb (0.00-0.23), Cr (0.00-0.12), Zn (0.01-0.03), Fe (0.01-0.22) and Al (0.00-1.61).The WQI ratings gave excellent water to unfit for drinking water quality in both areas. Generally, harvested rainwater is not free of contaminations because of its catchment/storage systems due to atmospheric pollution and leaching of the roofing material; hence, it should be treated before being used for domestic and potable usages.
Enhancing ATM Security: A Smart Approach
Authors: Ansari Md. Hussain
Published: March 2024

Typically, in ATM transactions, unauthorized individuals can easily withdraw cash merely by obtaining someone's PIN. To bolster the security of transactions and ensure they occur under the account holder's knowledge and consent, we've implemented RF readers for authentication. Our system is equipped with a centralized database containing the RFID of each individual, accompanied by their photograph for verification purposes. When a person presents their RF tag to the RF reader, it activates a camera, capturing the cardholder's image. Subsequently, the system conducts a comparison with the database to verify the ID and match it with the individual's facial features. If the facial recognition fails to align with the original card account holder, the system promptly dispatches an image along with an OTP via email to the account holder, signalling an attempted unauthorized use of their ATM. Access to cash withdrawal is granted only upon successful entry of the OTP, thereby thwarting potential fraud. Conversely, if the account holder initiates a transaction, the system recognizes their face from its database and authorizes direct access to withdraw cash from the ATM without necessitating further verification steps. This comprehensive security protocol significantly mitigates the risk of fraudulent ATM transactions, providing account holders with heightened assurance regarding the safeguarding of their funds and personal information.

The aim of the current research is to examine the effect of trust-based collaboration and idealized transformational leadership to the knowledge sharing. It also examined the effect of contingent reward transactional leadership to trust-based collaboration and knowledge sharing. Data used in the current research are primary ones derived from questionnaires distributed to selected respondents. All lecturers of private universities in Central Java Indonesia having A qualification in institutional accreditation are the population. The sample is part of the population. Sampling technique used is non probability sampling, not all population has the same opportunity to be sample. The reason is that population is homogeneous in nature. The sample analysed is 162 respondents. The research finding indicates that idealized influence transformational leadership positively affects to trust-based collaboration. Trust-based collaboration has a positive effect on knowledge sharing. The research fails proving the effect of contingent reward transactional leadership to trust-based collaboration and knowledge sharing. Thus, the current research contributes to literature concerning the importance of trust-based collaboration in increasing knowledge sharing. The study is the first study examining the role of trust-based collaboration to the relationship between idealized influence transformational leadership and knowledge sharing. Trust-based collaboration is the novelty of the research, that is derivation of the two theories. The finding strengthens one of main flows in literature and gives more empirical evidence about the relationship between transformational leadership and knowledge sharing that the relationship between the two is indirect in nature.

Migrant Labor and Farm technical Efficiency of Paddy Production in North Bihar
Authors: Mishra Vishesh
Published: March 2024

"It has long been known that migration and remittances contributed to the growth of agriculture. This study was conducted in East Champaran and West Champaran for paddy production. Multistage random sampling was applied to the study area. The study area was selected based on the annual production of Paddy in Bihar. Stochastic Frontier Analysis was applied to get an appropriate result for remittance on paddy farming. Our findings have important policy ramifications because they suggest that smallholder paddy production may become more technically efficient by using migrant labour’s remittances more frequently. By providing small-holder growers with continuously growing support from extension services, enough market access for selling their product, and farmer empowerment for women, the government may be able to increase the technical efficiency of smallholder rice farmers. Instructing farmers on correct weeding schedules, for instance, would be one way that effective extension services might enhance crop management practises."

"This paper investigates the livelihood asset profile of the rural poor families of Gumla district of Jharkhand. This study was conducted in two villages of Gumla district, viz Hutar from Albert Ekka block and Bartoli from Dumri block, which was selected using simple random sampling. Complete enumeration (95 households) was done through a well-structured questionnaire in ODK platform. The study primarily identified the profile of livelihood assets owned by the rural households of Gumla district based on the sustainable livelihood framework of DFID. The study tried to explain the profile of various livelihood assets on sustainability, namely human, social, financial, physical, and natural capital. The study revealed that 95.79 per cent of the people belonged to the below poverty line. In this study, we also found that 88 per cent of the households from both villages had not availed any type of skill development training facilities, and almost 87 per cent of the households did not have access to the formal credit facility due to lack of knowledge about the formal financial system. Whereas, in both villages, 70 per cent of women were attached to different social institutions, especially Self-help Groups, and availed loans for various economic activities like the establishment of grocery shops, and enhancement of physical assets etc. to support their livelihood. Despite having abundant access to natural resources like forests and rivers, lack of human assets exceptionally skilled labour and unavailability of financial support were creating hindrances in the livelihood strategy formation at the village level. Hence, it is recommended that rural households should focus on the improvement of their human and financial assets to increase sustainability."

Authors: Alfiansyah Gusti , Hazmi Muhammad , Wijaya Insan
Published: March 2024

Sorgum (Sorghum bicolor L.) adalah tanaman serealia yang mempunyai potensi besar untuk dikembangkan di Indonesia karena mempunyai daerah adaptasi yang luas. Tanaman sorgum memiliki kandungan nutrisi yang tinggi, sehingga sangat baik digunakan sebagai sumber bahan pangan maupun pakan ternak alternatif. Upaya yang dapat dilakukan dalam meningkatkan produksi tanaman sorgum diantaranya yaitu pemangkasan daun bagian bawah dan menambahkan populasi sorgum pada tiap lubang tanam untuk memaksimalkan produksi sorgum. Pemangkasan daun merupakan salah satu cara untuk mengatur keseimbangan tanaman sehingga dapat memberikan pertumbuhan yang baik, sehingga dengan demikian pertumbuhan vegetatif tanaman dapat diseimbangkan dengan pertumbuhan generatif. Selain itu pada populasi tinggi, kompetisi antar tanaman dapat terjadi sehingga pertumbuhan dan hasil per individu menjadi berkurang, namun karena jumlah tanaman per hektar bertambah dengan meningkatnya populasi, maka produksi sorgumper hektar masih dapat meningkat.  Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) yang terdiri dari dua faktor dan tiga ulanganr. Dua faktor tersebut yaitu pemangkasan daun bagian bawah (D) dalam 2 taraf, yaitu : P0 = tanpa pemankasan, P1 = pangkas umur 60 hst dan populasi pada lubang tanam (P) dalam 5 taraf, yaitu : P1 = 1 tanaman/lubang, P2 = 2 tanaman/lubang, P3 = 3 tanaman/lubang, P4 = 4 tanaman/lubang, P5= 5 tanaman/lubang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan interaksi antara perlakuan pemangkasan daun bagian bawah dan populasi pada lubang tanam berpengaruh nyata terhadap pertumbuhan dan produksi tanaman sorgum terbukti pada variabel jumlah daun, jumlah biji persampel berat 1000 biji, dan berat biji basah basah.

Published: March 2024

The aim of the study – to evaluate the effectiveness of the drug Alflutop (bioactive concentrate of small marine fish), as well as its effect on microcirculation parameters in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of small joints of the hands.Patients and methods. The study included 80 patients aged 35 to 65 years with OA of small joints of the hands, stage I– II according to Kellgren – Lawrence, with pain ≥40 mm and ≤90 mm on a visual analogue scale (VAS). Subjects were distributed in 1:1 ratio. In the study group (combined therapy) patients received Alflutop according to the standard scheme: 2 ml intramuscularly every other day N 10 and meloxicam 7.5–15 mg per day in the “on demand” mode. The second group (monotherapy) received meloxicam 7.5–15 mg per day N 20. During the observation, the dynamics of joint pain on the VAS scale, the dynamics of the disease on the VAS scale by the patient and the doctor, the functional Dreiser index and AUSCAN (Australian/Canadian Osteoarthritis Hand Index), nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) with an assessment of the number of capillaries and the number of alterations per 1 mm of the distal row of capillaries were evaluated. The duration of the study was 6 weeks.Results and discussion. By the 35th day of treatment with Alflutop in combination with meloxicam, a statistically significant decrease in pain and functional activity of the disease was found according to the VAS indices, the AUSCAN index (p<0.05) compared with the meloxicam monotherapy group. Microcirculation parameters according to NFC data in the Alflutop and meloxicam group remained stable by the end of the study (p>0.05). In meloxicam monotherapy group, by the 35th day of follow-up, there was a significant increase in the number of altered capillaries by 1 mm of the distal row of the nail (p<0.001).Thus, Alflutop demonstrates clinical efficacy in OA of the joints of the hands (reduces pain, stiffness, improves joint function). In addition, the effect of Alflutop with respect to slowing down microcirculatory disorders is not excluded.

Published: March 2024

The problem of osteoarthritis (OA), the most common chronic rheumatic disease, is usually considered in relation to three groups of joints – knee, hip and hands. However, OA can affect any joints of the human body, causing pathological changes characteristic of this nosological form: destruction of joint tissue associated with mechanical stress, chronic inflammation and degenerative processes (neoangiogenesis, fibrosis, heterotopic ossification). This review examines 5 “atypical” OA localizations – shoulder, acromioclavicular, elbow, ankle and foot. The defeat of these joints is observed quite often: shoulder – about 15%, ankle – 3–5%, foot joints – 17% of the inhabitants of the modern population. The main risk factors for this disease are injuries, repeated significant stress, instability and deformities of the joints. The clinic is typical for OA and is manifested by “mechanical” and “starting” pains, stiffness, increasing dysfunction, crunching and deformation. In some cases, persistent synovitis is noted, accompanied by pain at rest and at night. Generally recognized criteria for OA of “atypical” localization have not yet been developed, therefore, its diagnosis is based on the presence of characteristic complaints, typical radiological changes (narrowing of the articular gap, subchondral sclerosis, osteophytes) and the exclusion of other pathology that can cause joint damage. Treatment of this pathology should be complex and include the combined use of non-drug methods (orthosis, physical therapy, physiotherapy) and pharmacological agents, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, slow-acting symptomatic agents and local injection therapy (intra-articular administration of glucocorticoids, hyaluronic acid, platelet-enriched plasma). When conservative therapy is ineffective, a wide range of surgical interventions is used, from arthroscopic chondroplasty to total endoprosthetics.

Relevance. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by loss of immune tolerance and sustained production of autoantibodies.The aim of the study – to compare composition of peripheral blood cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes (Tc) subsets and assess the clinical significance of them in systemic lupus erythematosus. Materials and methods. A total of 35 SLE patients and 49 healthy volunteers were included in the study. Phenotyping of peripheral blood T cell subpopulations was carried out by means of flow cytometry. T lymphocytes were determined using CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ antibodies. Tc were identified by using CD45RA and CD62L antibodies. Also the expression of chemokine receptors (CCR4, CCR6, CXCR3 and CXCR5) on Tc cells was assessed and the main Tc subpopulations were determined: Type 1 (Tc1), type 2 (Tc2), type 17 (Tc17), type 17/1 (Tc17.1), type 17/22 (Tc17.22) cytotoxic cells and T follicular cytotoxic cells (Tfc).Results. The absolute and relative number of Tc was significantly higher in the group of patients with SLE compared with the control group. Additionally, there was a significant decrease in the relative number of Tc1, Tc 17.1 and Tfc1 and a significant increase in the relative number of Tc2, Tfc 17 and Tfc17.1 within the SLE group when compared to the control group. There were significant positive correlationfor Tc1 and levels of C3 and C4 complement components (r=0.404, p<0.05).Conclusions. The absolute and relative number of peripheral blood Tc subsets is altered in SLE patients compared with the control group. It was found that patients with SLE contained increased number of Tc2 cells, which seems to be associated with markers of disease activity. These results demonstrate a prominent pathological role of Tc2 in SLE. While Tc1, Tc17, Tc17.1, Tfc subsets probably have regulatory functions

Published: March 2024

Teaching is aimed to allow the language learners to practice developing skills. In our case it is vocabulary development. In incidental learning, the situations are chosen by language learners. This means that the language learners initiate the interaction by requesting the participation of a teacher. Most often, incidental learning is used in the study of foreign languages, and is considered here in this context. The learner’s request can be verbal or non-verbal: for example, he can reach for an object that is out of reach, damage his clothes, cry, call an a teacher by name, ask for a toy, food or information. This study demonstrated the effectiveness of the incidental learning approach.

SPARTACUS VE III. KÖLE İSYANI
Authors: Abbas Ismat
Published: March 2024

Gladyatör oyunları Romalılar için çok önemliydi. Öyle ki Roma’da bu oyunları düzenlemek için senatus tarafından atanmış memurlar bile bulunmaktaydı. Gladyatör oyunları için Roma sınırları içinde pek çok amfitiyatrolar yapılmıştır ki bunlardan en ünlüsü de bugün bile eski ününü koruyan Colosseum’dur. Gladyatörler bu tiyatrolarda sadece birbirileri ile değil kimi zaman vahşi hayvanlarla da dövüştürülmüşlerdir. Gladyatörlerin geneli kölelerden oluşsa da pek çok özgür insan da arenalarda gladyatörler gibi dövüşmüştür. Genellikle ölüme mahkûm edilen bu kimseler arenalarda ölüm kalım mücadelesi vermişlerdir. Makalenin konusunu oluşturan Spartacus, Roma’daki III. Köle İsyanına önderlik etmiş, Roma’nın başını oldukça ağrıtmıştır. Capua’da bir gladyatör okulunda MÖ 73 yılında başlayan bu isyan kısa sürede hızlıca yayılmıştır. İsyanın Roma Cumhuriyeti tarafından ciddiye alınmaması, kargaşanın büyümesine neden olmuş ve isyan ancak Marcus Licinius Crassus (MÖ 115-53) tarafından bastırılabilmiştir. Crassun’un ordusuna yenilen Spartacus, Lucania bölgesinde olan son savaşta öldürülmüş ve ordusu dağıtılmıştır. Crassus isyana katılan altı binden fazla isyancı köleyi Capua’dan Roma’ya kadar çarmıha gerdirmiştir. Spartacus İsyanı son bulmuş olsa da Roma Cumhuriyeti’nde büyük yankılar uyandırmıştır.

Cornea Verticillata – a Rare Complication of Chloroquine Toxicity. Case Report
Authors: Babula Emilia , Winiarska Natalia , Samelska Katarzyna , Izdebska Justyna
Published: March 2024

Introduction

Cornea verticillata is characterized by bilateral grayish or golden-brown linear opacities in a typical vortex shape, mainly in the lower segments of the corneal epithelium, without covering the corneal stroma. It is most often associated with taking amiodarone but can be induced by other medications. Chloroquine is commonly used in treatment and prevention of protozoal diseases. Additionally, it has applications in dermatology and rheumatology as an anti-inflammatory agent in collagenosis, rheumatoid arthritis or lupus erythematosus. Its ophthalmic side effects and their management are noteworthy and are briefly summarized in this paper.

Material and Methods

We present a case of a 62-year-old female patient who was referred to the clinic for diagnosis of corneal lesions detected incidentally during a follow-up examination 6 months after starting treatment with chloroquine for rheumatoid arthritis.

Results

The patient was diagnosed with cornea verticillata and informed that it does not affect visual acuity and is not an indication for changes in therapy. Discontinuation of medication results in partial or, in some cases, complete resolution of changes.

Discussion

It is important to closely monitor patients taking drugs that are known to have ophthalmic side effects for the first time in new indications. We should consider eye side effects when treating systemic disease and recommend screening tests.

Conclusions

A baseline ophthalmic examination should be performed on all patients before initiating use of chloroquine. Moreover, chloroquine can lead to permanent loss of visual acuity contributing to bull’s eye maculopathy, which is irreversible.

Aims: The cough affects adversely the comfort of patient and process during fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Various studies have been made to prevent cough during bronchoscopy. However, there is no any medication that usage of it becomes definite. The influence of usage codeine in bronchoscopy premedication in addition to the midazolam on the comfort of patient and physicians is examined.
Methods: 96 patients made bronchoscopy for various indications were included to the study. The study was carried out as a prospective, placebo-controlled and double-blind. The patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 (n = 48) 20 mg fenocodeine tablets divided into 4 doses were administered one day before process. Group 2 (n = 48) the placebo tablets divided four dose were administered one day before process. Both of two groups were administered midazolam before procedure. Topical anesthesia was administered as needed during the operation and its doses were recorded. Two questionnaire form that examined the level of comfort of patients and physicians, the amount of secretion and the severity of cough with a visual analogue scale (VAS) were prepared and they were immediately completed after procedure.
Results: In both groups, any complication wasn’t occurred that require to terminate the process. In the scala evaluated by patients given fenocodein, the amount of cough was statistically significantly low (p = 0.026). In the scale evaluated by doctors, the amount of secretion was lower (p = 0.02). Comfort level of doctor was found significantly higher in Group 2 (p = 0.02).
Conclusion: It was determined that the amount of secretion and cough had decreased and the level of comfort had increased when fenocodeine was given with midazolam prior to bronchoscopy
