Authors: Dons Maria , Buron Mathias Due , Laursen Julie Maria Hejgaard , Norsk Jakob Boesgaard , Karlsen Finn Michael , Thomsen Jakob Hartvig
Published: November 2024

Ictal bradyarrhythmia (IB) and ictal asystole (IA) are rare complications of epilepsy. Onset latency of IB/IA implicates central nervous parasympathetic pathways, causing asystole, subsequent cerebral hypoxaemia, and potentially inducing a paradoxal, therapeutic effect by terminating both the seizure and the IA. This is a case report of a 68-year-old woman with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy and hippocampal sclerosis and IA. Association of IB/IA and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy lacks evidence and pacemaker therapy is rarely indicated. Treatment aims to minimize seizures and reduce the risk of falls.

Published: November 2024

English Language Proficiency (ELP) is as important as subject knowledge and technical skills. Students' future success in any job or position depends on their ELP. Therefore, their ELP must be developed and improved using a specific method. This study modified Wiggin's Approach – Spider-Web Discussion Method to wholistically enhance the students’ ELP with a composite of the five macro-skills, such as reading, writing, speaking, listening, and viewing. The developmental-evaluative research design was utilized with an adapted and validated rubric to evaluate the modified method. The data collection included two phases: development and evaluation. In the development phase, the adapted development processes by Kumar et al (2012) were religiously followed to come up with the modified method. After the completion of the modified method, it underwent an evaluation phase where three content and language experts were tapped to evaluate the format and content using the rubric mentioned. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency, mean, and average) and using the adapted rubric as the instrument for evaluation. The results revealed that the modified Spider Web Method is acceptable and it has the potential for enhancing the ELP. The pandemic has hampered the implementation of the incubation phase; thus, it is recommended that the modified method has to undergo an incubation stage among students majoring in English to determine its effectiveness in improving the macro-skills: reading, writing, speaking, listening, and viewing.

One dimension that needs to be considered to see social change is the consequences of social changes that occur in society. The aim of this research is to test and explain the influence of cremation attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control on the intention to crem with cremation services which are moderated by religiosity. Indicator development was carried out on variables based on local wisdom. The research target population 767, with a research sample of 140, using a non-probability sampling method. Data was collected by questionnaire and analyzed using SmartPLS. The results of the research prove that the implementation of cremation attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control have a positive and significant effect on cremation intentions to use cremation services at the crematorium. It is proven that religiosity significantly moderates the influence of cremation attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control on cremation intentions to use cremation services. However, on the influence of cremation attitudes and subjective norms, religiosity weakens, meaning that if people's cremation attitudes towards cremation intentions are moderated by religiosity, there will be a decrease in people's intentions to carry out cremation cremations, as well as subjective norms, the moderating role of religiosity can weaken cremation intentions among Hindus. in Bali. Meanwhile, the influence of perceived behavioral control strengthens, meaning that religiosity in its role in moderating perceived behavioral control strengthens the intention of the Hindu community in Bali towards cremation with cremation services.

Authors: Priya Harsh , Shenoy Ramya , Pai Mithun , Bangera Dimple Rani , Rao Ashwini Rao , Rao Rajesh G
Published: November 2024

Purpose: Research in medical settings has consistently demonstrated that health literacy is essential for patient adherence and comprehension to medical/dental instructions including prescriptions and improving positive holistic health outcomes. Despite its recognized importance, the role of literacy in dentistry has received limited focus. This study aimed to assess the level of oral health literacy among professionals in a multinational company, using the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Dentistry-30 (REALD-30) as the measurement tool. Methods: A convenience sample of 111 adults was recruited from a dental camp held at two locations within an IT firm. Oral health literacy was measured and analysed using the REALD-30 scale. Participants also participated in interviews to collect sociodemographic information, dental visit history, dental needs, global oral health ratings, dental knowledge, practices, and comprehension. Additionally, clinical examinations were conducted to record the DMFT index (Decayed; D component, Missing; M component, and Filled; F component Teeth), as well as the presence of dental stains and calculus. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 13. Results: REALD-30 scores ranged from a low of 8 to a high of 25. Participants who had decayed, missing, or filled teeth, or a DMFT score higher than one, exhibited lower oral health literacy compared to the reference group. Similarly, lower oral health literacy was observed in participants with dental stains or calculus. Conclusions: Effective communication with patients is crucial for delivering high-quality dental care. The study concluded that a significant proportion of the highly educated professional group of people has less oral health literacy, which may obstruct their basic ability to understand and process the fundamental oral health information.

Authors: K B Santhosh , N Praveen Kumar
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Care of the patient with shock can be one of the most challenging issues in emergency medicine. The early use of ultrasound at the bedside in such emergency is a very valuable tool to determine the type of shock. Rapid Ultrasound in SHock (RUSH) protocol done by emergency physicians is one such protocol which is being underused. Hence, we conducted this study to assess the effectiveness of the RUSH protocol for patients presenting with undifferentiated hypotension and shock. Materials and methods: This was prospective observational study done on a total of 100 patients presented with hypotension and shock. We performed an early bedside sonographic examination for participants based on RUSH protocol and type of shock was determined. Then the definitive interventions were performed as per the type of shock. The outcome measures were determined either till the survival to discharge from the hospital or till the in-hospital death of the patient. The data was analysed using SPSS version25. Results: In this study, the type of shock most commonly found overall was hypovolemic shock (40%) followed by cardiogenic shock (27%) and distributive shock (17%). Contractility of left ventricle, size of right ventricle, inferior venacava caliber, hemoperitoneum, pneumothorax, hemothorax, pulmonary edema, pleural effusion and lungs consolidation were statistically significant in determining the type of shock except cardiac tamponade, abdominal aortic aneurysm/dissection and deep vein thombosis. Majority of the interventions performed were fluid resuscitation (41%), vasopressors and inotropes (28%) and laparotomy (9%) and were statistically significant (p=0.001). Among all patients, 73% survived and 27% died. The outcome was statistically significant (p=0.002). Conclusion: RUSH protocol used for undifferentiated hypotension and shock is an effective tool at the bedside as an early approach to diagnose the type of shock. It will also help in determining early definitive interventions in shock states and thereby having better patient outcomes.

Authors: Kartik Munta , Sunil Kumar N. , Jupally Rajkumar , Y Suryaprakash
Published: November 2024

Background: Neuro Intensive Care Unit (Neuro-ICU) handles neurological emergencies that involve intracranial (IC) hemorrhages. It can be challenging to manage elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) and midline shift (MLS), as they requires constant monitoring and frequent imaging. Trans-cranial Color Coded Sonography (TCCS), a bedside monitoring tool, may be helpful in monitoring MLS under such conditions. Objectives: To correlate MLS of the third ventricle in the brain measured by TCCS with CT midline shift. Method: A prospective observational study was conducted on patients with IC bleed who were mechanically ventilated and had a head CT done to rule out MLS. Within an hour of doing a CT brain, TCCS-MLS was identified. Data was collected and analyzed. Results: A total of fifty patients studied, the MLS (mean ±SD) was 5.3mm ± 3.1 mm using TCCS and 6.7±4.4 mm using CT brain. The calculated midline shift between TCCS and CT brain demonstrated a Pearson's correlation of 0.78 (P<0.001). With TCCS, the area under the ROC curve to identify a significant MLS was 0.91 (95%CI=0.8-1). TCCS-MLS of 3.9mm as a cut-off, predicted the occurrence of >5mm MLS on CT scan with a sensitivity of 95% and specificity of 90%. Conclusions: This study suggests that TCCS could serve as an alternative bedside monitoring tool in patients whose transportation is risky, in predicting the transcranial MLS >5mm with reasonable accuracy.

The Ideological Apologetics of the Communist Party during Suppression of Lithuanian National Resistance (1944–1953)
Authors: Bagušauskas Juozas Romualdas
Published: November 2024

After WWII, the second wave of Stalinist terror initiated by the USR acquired special features in Lithuania. The suppression of national resistance, Sovietisation of the country, and destruction of national identity by combining terror, repression and ideological propaganda took place throughout the country.
In the resolutions adopted by the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) (AUCP[B]) between 1944 and 1948 on the political situation in Lithuania, the demand was made to destroy the ideology and social basis of the national underground movement and to expel the nation’s aspirations for freedom from its consciousness as soon as possible. Destruction of the spiritual life and identity of the nation was initially carried out by promoting contempt for the nation’s historical past and culture and promoting vandalism. Spiritual and physical terror became the everyday reality of Lithuania’s political life.
The national attitudes of the intelligentsia and their attempts to preserve spiritual values that had formed over the years became the cause of never-ending persecution and reprisals against them. One goal was to use a certain part of the intelligentsia for the dissemination of the Soviet ideology. The intention was to bridge the gap that emerged after the repressive measure that caused the emigration of intellectuals to the West. Propaganda and mass political agitation became an important area of ideological activity of the Soviet regime and accompanied spiritual terror and implementation of Communist ideology based on Stalinist dogmas. The Soviet press was full of vitriolic condemnation of the “enemies of the people” and euphoric praise of Stalin and his henchmen. With the help of the press, the Soviet regime hoped to purge ideas about the nation’s freedom from people’s consciousness. Under the veil of Soviet patriotism and proletarian internationalism, Russian nationalism was forced down people’s throats, the role of Russia as the elder brother was constantly emphasised, the spiritual values of the nation were derogated, the nation was humiliated, and it became increasingly difficult to communicate in the native Lithuanian language.
The Communist regime created a social environment that it hoped would help to destroy the resistance movement as soon as possible. With the help of the government and the organisations of the Communist Party, society was divided and one social stratum was pitted against the other. By combining repression and ideological measures, the Communist Party eroded the typical mutual relationship of trust that had formed over centuries in the nation.

HARMONISASI PENJATUHAN TALAK DALAM HUKUM ISLAM DAN HUKUM POSITIF
Authors: Rohmah Lailiyatur
Published: November 2024

Thalaq merupakan salah satu perkara yang Allah SWT benci, kendati begitu dalam syariat-Nya telah mengatur ihwal thalaq dengan begitu rinci. Demi kemaslahatannya negara turut mengatur dalam hukum positif, agar tidak terjadi perceraian liar, serta menggunakan asas mempersulit perceraian agar masyarakat hanya melakukan perceraian pada kondisi yang betul-betul mendesak. Negara hanya mengakui perceraian yang dilakukan di hadapan pengadilan, sehingga sebagian masyarakat mudah mengucapkan thalaq di luar pengadilan namun kemudian menjalankan kehidupan suami istri seperti sebelumnya, dengan alasan belum melaksanakan perceraian secara resmi. Padahal perilaku seperti ini tidak dibenarkan oleh syariat, dan negara pun tak menginginkan hal tersebut terjadi. Sehingga harus ada sebuah harmonisasi di mana syariat tidak dilangkahi dan dijunjung tinggi, dan hukum positif hadir untuk melengkapi demi kemaslahatan secara administratif.

Faktor penyebab kedisiplinan siswa diantaranya adalah kepribadian guru yang mempengaruhi terbentuknya suasana kelas yang disiplin dan efektif. Peran guru sangat penting dan berpengaruh dalam menciptakan dan menjaga suasana disiplin selama proses pembelajaran di kelas. Namun, jika peran tersebut tidak dilaksanakan dengan baik, hal ini dapat menyebabkan siswa menjadi kurang disiplin. Berdasarkan latar belakang tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh keteladanan guru terhadap kedisiplinan siswa kelas IV di MI Al Falah Kuncung Ngoro Jombang. Penelitian ini mengadopsi pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode survei. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari 24 siswa yang berpartisipasi dengan mengisi angket. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah angket dengan skala Likert dan observasi. Data yang terkumpul kemudian dianalisis menggunakan analisis statistik deskriptif dan analisis statistik inferensial nonparametris korelasi peringkat (rank spearman) dengan bantuan aplikasi SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh antara keteladanan guru dan kedisiplinan siswa. Hal ini diketahui dari uji korelasi peringkat (rank spearman) yang menghasilkan nilai signifikansi 0,000, yang lebih kecil dari 0,05. Selain itu, koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,959 menunjukkan hubungan positif yang sangat kuat, artinya ketika nilai keteladanan guru meningkat, kedisiplinan siswa juga meningkat.

Evaluate the effect of exercise core strength training on antioxidant enzyme activity in women from a biomechanical perspective
Authors: Li Yingshun , Li Yingxue
Published: November 2024

At present, the incidence rate of chronic diseases is increasing year by year. A variety of antioxidant enzymes in the human body, such as Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS), Glutathione Peroxidase (GSH Px), Malonic Dialdehyde (MDA) and Catalase (CAT), help to inhibit the generation of oxygen free radicals and play a certain role in preventing the occurrence of chronic diseases. The research on the activity of antioxidant enzymes and the delivery of antioxidant drugs has gradually become the focus of relevant scholars. The physical quality of women is lower than that of men, so it is of great practical significance to study the antioxidant enzyme activity of women. Therefore, this paper explores the influence of exercise core strength training on women’s antioxidant enzyme activity from a biomechanical perspective and concludes that core strength training can improve female students’ SOD content level by 2.58%, and can improve female students’ NOS content level, GSH-Px content level, and MDA content level. Sports core strength training has a positive impact on women’s antioxidant enzyme activity.
