Authors: Baralić-Knežević Ivana , Arsenović Branka , Stefanović Katarina , Trifunović-Balanović Dragana
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Patients with multiple comorbidities and undergoing polypharmacy are at a high risk of experiencing drug-related problems (DRPs). These DRPs can lead to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Objective: This study aims to identify the prevalence and causes of DRPs in geriatric inpatients, as well as the factors that contribute to them. Additionally, the study intends to evaluate the implementation of ward-based pharmacy services in the geriatric department. Method: The pharmacist analyzed inpatient therapy, identified DRPs, and formulated recommendations. DRPs were categorized according to the PCNE-DRP classification, version 9. A total of 100 patients, of which 52% were men, average age of 79.7±7.88 years, were included in the study. Results: Our study found that on average, each patient had 2.36 drug-related problems (DRPs). The most common DRP was related to treatment safety, accounting for 44.9% of cases, followed by treatment effectiveness (33.1%) and unnecessary drug treatment (22%). The main cause of DRPs was inadequate drug selection (61%) and inadequate dose selection (38.1%). Patients with atrial fibrillation and chronic renal failure had more DRPs than those without these conditions. In total, we identified 229 interventions to address these DRPs. However, the acceptance rate of these recommended interventions was low at 25.9%. Conclusion: The rate of drug-related issues in elderly hospital patients was found to be high, but the rate of acceptance of interventions to address these issues was low. In order to enhance the implementation of pharmaceutical services and improve healthcare for elderly patients, it is crucial to improve the collaboration between healthcare providers and pharmacists. Recognizing the unique skills and expertise that pharmacists bring to the table can facilitate their integration as a valuable member of a multidisciplinary healthcare team.
Provisions of Mažuranić's act on the organization of public schools and teacher training schools and legislative frameworks for encouraging creativity in education
Authors: Haman Daniel , Kopljar Domagoj , Haman Vlasta
Published: April 2024

Ivan Mažuranić, a Croatian Ban who reigned from 1873 to 1880, implemented significant reforms in education, administration, and judiciary as part of his political program aimed at providing a modern legal framework for Croatian autonomy. During the second year of his reign, on August 19, 1874, Ban Mažuranić proposed the draft Act on the organisation of public schools and teacher training schools, which was adopted and confirmed by the Austrian Emperor and Hungarian-Croatian King Francis Joseph I on October 14, 1874. This Act is considered to be the first Croatian autonomous school law and one of the most liberal school laws in Europe, establishing schools as secular institutions. While many provisions of that Act remain applicable in today's Croatian educational system, they sparked some serious debates and protests across social classes at the time. A qualitative comparative analysis of this Act and the current Act on education in primary and secondary schools will compare the legislative frameworks for encouraging creativity in education and enabling the autonomous work of teachers. By enacting this law, Ban Mažuranić demonstrated his commitment to fulfilling his election promises. Along with other laws enforced in judiciary and administration, this Act paved the way for the modernization of the former Croatian state, aligning it with European standards of a modern civil state.
The etiology of juvenile delinquency
Authors: Jarić Jelena
Published: April 2024

In contemporary societies characterized by advanced information technology and widespread accessibility to various resources, social and psychological factors leading to adverse personal and societal consequences significantly influence minors, providing fertile ground for the emergence of juvenile delinquency. Juvenile delinquency is a serious problem for all contemporary societies, encompassing different forms of deviant behaviors among minors, including criminal acts that trigger legal proceedings and sanctions. Since there are a lot of theories and studies which focus on the distinctions between delinquency and criminality, this paper does not deal with that in greater detail. Instead, it focuses on elucidating juvenile delinquency as a foundational concept for understanding diverse forms of deviant behavior from criminal, psychological, and sociological perspectives. The paper identifies causes of juvenile behavior and early indicators for identifying young offenders. The primary research objective is to explore delinquency prevention strategies tailored to offenders. The examples illustrate the most frequent criminal acts perpetrated by reported, accused, and convicted minors, categorized by gender, age, and type of criminal sanction.
Deprivation of parental rights and "the best interest of the child"
Authors: Đerlek Minela
Published: April 2024

In contemporary times, children are recognized as holders of their own rights, which is a departure from past practices. The state delegates authority to participate in and intervene in family matters through designated guardianship bodies and local courts. The deprivation of parental rights carries significant and enduring consequences for both parents and children, with the entire process governed by the legal principle of the best interest of the child. Unfortunately, the "best interest of the child," while a widely used concept, lacks precise legal definition, potentially leading to adverse effects on the child's psychological and physical development.

Published: April 2024

Abstract: Introduction: An increase in blood pressure and heart rate is observed during laryngoscopy and insertion of the endotracheal tube. Melatonin is used for sedation in the Intensive Care Unit. Our study was based on the hypothesis that administrating 3 mg and 6 mg of melatonin 90 minutes before induction attenuates hemodynamic responses encountered during laryngoscopy and intubation. Materials and Methods: Seventy-five adult patients scheduled for elective surgical procedures, ASA I and II, were assigned into 3 groups (25 patients in each group) to receive oral placebo, melatonin 3 mg, or melatonin 6 mg 90 minutes prior to induction of anesthesia. Hemodynamic variables were recorded at baseline, before induction, and at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 30 minutes after induction. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for intergroup analysis of data. Categorical variables were compared using non-parametric tests like the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Bonferroni correction was applied for intergroup analysis. Statistical significance was considered when p < 0.05. Results: An increase in heart rate and blood pressure at 3, 6, and 9 minutes after induction of general anesthesia was observed in the control group compared to the melatonin 3 mg and 6 mg groups administered 90 minutes prior to induction. Oral administration of 6 mg of melatonin was found to provide greater attenuation than 3 mg of melatonin. Conclusion: Oral administration of 3 mg and 6 mg melatonin effectively attenuates the hemodynamic pressor changes observed during laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation.

Published: April 2024

Designing in mining represents the process of implementing conceptual solutions and requires a multidisciplinary approach to teamwork. Application of knowledge, experience, skills, and use of tools and techniques are elements of creativity in the function of realization of project requirements. Information technologies and software products are mechanisms that are necessary for achieving the objectives defined by the project task. Sophisticated design includes knowledge of information technology, and software programs, which have the role of facilitating the performance of operational tasks while ensuring a quick response to client requests. Designed project solutions must meet investment requirements with mandatory compliance with legal regulations. A prerequisite for this is clearly defined goals and guidelines, as a reliable basis for the implementation of the project. The starting point in the development of mining projects is the input parameters. The quality definition of initial conditions is the result of using a database with as many elements as possible. The design process needs to include as many inputs as possible, such as the natural environment, geology, geotechnics, hydrogeology, ecology, etc. Gathering information needed for testing, calculations, analysis and harmonizing the results of modulated solutions affects the making of correct conclusions. In the absence of information, which is important for a safe, reliable and efficient functioning system of the exploitation process, the monitoring and control of such operations are to a considerable extent subject to risks. Solving unexpected problems is much more demanding to find adequate solutions for timely production process planning.

Türk-İsviçre hukukunda önalım hakkı satış ilişkisi doğuran haklardan ve taşınmaz mülkiyetinin kısıtlanması hallerinden biri oluşturmaktadır. Alman hukukunda ise satış sözleşmesinin özel türü olarak düzenlenmiştir. Önalım hakkı, hakkın kanundan doğduğu haller istisna olmak kaydıyla, ancak belirli bir süreyle kurulabilir. Türk-İsviçre hukukunda bu süreler açık bir şekilde düzenlenmiş iken; Alman hukukunda bu konuda bir düzenlemeye yer verilmemiştir. Önalım hakkının süre bakımından tabi olduğu sınırlama hakkın kullanımı yönünden de söz konusudur. Türk, İsviçre ve Alman hukuk sistemleri önalım hakkının kullanımına ilişkin farklı sürelere yer vermiştir. Bu farklılık, hakkın kaynağı ve ayrıca konusunu oluşturan şeyin niteliğine göre ele alınmalıdır.Önalım hakkına ilişkin sürelerin başlangıcının tayininde hakkı tesis eden sözleşmenin kurulma ve önalım olayının gerçekleşme anı büyük öneme sahiptir. Aynı durum, hak sahibinin bilgilendirilme anı ve şekli bakımından da söz konusudur. Bu noktada, tapu memuru tarafından yapılan bilgilendirmenin sürelerin başlaması sonucunu doğurup doğurmayacağı tartışmalıdır. Önalım hakkının kullanım sürelerinde özellik arz eden durumlar söz konusu olabilir. Hakkın ihtiyatî kullanımı, tamamlayıcı unsurların gerekli olduğu haller bunlardan bazılarıdır. Son olarak, taraflarca önalım hakkı sürelerine ilişkin yapılan düzenlemelerin geçerliliği ele alınması gereken bir diğer sorundur.

Published: April 2024

Introduction

Common medications may attenuate fibroblast proliferation and scar tissue formation. This study aims to evaluate the association between angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) use and post-operative stiffness assessed by rate of manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) and change in range of motion (ROM) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods

Patients undergoing primary TKA January 2014 - September 2019 were identified. Demographic information, use of ACEI medications, occurrence of MUA in the 6 months following surgery, and ROM was determined by chart review. MUA was indicated upon failure to achieve 90° ROM at 1-month follow-up. Demographics were analyzed using Student’s t-test and Chi-Squared tests. SPSS (version 24, IBM) multivariate regression calculated odds ratios for MUA controlling for age, BMI, American Society of Anesthesiologist’s class, and gender.

Results

1590 primary TKA’s were identified. 274 patients (17.3%) were taking ACEI medications. 46 patients required MUA (2.9%). Five patients (1.8%) taking an ACEI required MUA, versus 41 of the 1316 control patients (3.1%). No significant difference in MUA rates between the ACEI and control cohorts (odds ratio 0.670, 95% CI: 0.259 – 1.735, p=0.410) was identified. Change in ROM was not significantly different between cohorts at 1 and 3 month intervals. At 1-year, improvement in ROM was significantly less in patients taking ACEIs (+6.54° vs. +9.90°, p=0.035) and significantly fewer ACEI cohort patients achieved 118° flexion (56.9% vs. 68.4%, p=0.013).

Conclusions

This study supplies evidence that ACEIs do not reduce post-operative stiffness following TKA. Additionally, patients taking ACEI medications have significantly less improvement in ROM 1 year post-operatively.

Role of Emotional Intelligence, in Relationship between Compassion Satisfaction, Compassion Fatigue and Quality of Life Among Nurses Working in ICU
Authors: Mumtaz Nida , Khaliq Aqsa Abdul
Published: April 2024

Background: Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses encounter emotionally taxing situations that can affect their well-being, making the examination of factors such as emotional intelligence (EI), compassion satisfaction, and fatigue crucial in understanding their quality of life.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the interplay between EI, compassion satisfaction, compassion fatigue, and quality of life among ICU nurses, and to examine the mediating role of EI in these relationships.
Methods: A convenience sampling method was employed to collect data from 167 ICU nurses using a structured online questionnaire. Demographic data and measures for compassion satisfaction, fatigue, EI, and quality of life were analyzed using SPSS version 25. Path coefficients and mediation analysis were conducted using Partial Least Squares (PLS).
Results: The majority of participants were below 30 years (76.2%) and female (67.9%). EI positively correlated with quality of life (path coefficient = 0.139, p = 0.007) and was a partial mediator between compassion satisfaction and quality of life. Higher compassion satisfaction was significantly associated with increased EI and quality of life (path coefficients = 0.264 and 0.628, respectively, p < 0.001). Gender-based analysis revealed differences in quality of life (Males: M = 100.65, SD = 7.98; Females: M = 96.58, SD = 12.59; p = 0.035) and compassion fatigue (Males: M = 65.24, SD = 7.77; Females: M = 61.42, SD = 8.59; p = 0.007).
Conclusion: Emotional intelligence is instrumental in enhancing quality of life by mediating the effects of compassion satisfaction and fatigue among ICU nurses. These insights suggest that interventions aimed at increasing EI may be beneficial for nurses facing the demanding conditions of ICU environments.

Published: April 2024

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most prevalent pediatric infectious diseases, leading to substantial healthcare utilization including hospitalization and antibiotic therapy. Despite the asymptomatic nature of many pediatric UTIs, these infections can contribute to significant morbidity if left undiagnosed and untreated, including the development of chronic kidney disease.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of asymptomatic UTIs in school-going children and to evaluate the effectiveness of dipstick and microscopic urinalysis as diagnostic tools.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 67 asymptomatic school-aged children in the district of Nowshera, KP. Urine samples were analyzed using urine dipstick tests followed by microscopic examination to detect the presence of pyuria, hematuria, and proteinuria. The study excluded children previously diagnosed with UTI or any other infectious disease. SPSS version 25 was utilized for data analysis, with results presented in descriptive statistics.
Results: Of the total children screened, 40 (59.7%) were male, and 27 (40.3%) were female. Age distribution was split between 3 to 7 years (25.4%) and 8 to 15 years (74.6%). The dipstick and microscopic examinations revealed UTI positivity in 46 children (68.7%). Specifically, pyuria was detected in 32.83%, hematuria in 32.83%, and proteinuria in 18% of the screened children.
Conclusion: The study highlights the high prevalence of asymptomatic UTIs among school children and emphasizes the necessity for routine urine examinations as an integral component of pediatric healthcare to prevent future complications. Furthermore, dipstick and microscopic analyses were validated as efficient diagnostic tools for early detection of UTIs.

проблема: в современной науке накоплен значительный опыт в области пре- и перинатальной психологии и медицины. Однако до сих пор остается дискуссионным вопрос о возможностях пренатального ребенка воспринимать внешние и внутренние сигналы. Кроме того, основатель отечественно психологии Л.С.Выготский полностью отрицал наличие психических процессов у ребенка в пренатальном онтогенезе. Целью работы является изучение реакций пренатального ребенка (мамалыша – по терминологии автора) на пение мамой различных по характеру песен, написанных в рамках метода «Сонатал», а также на другие стимулы. Методология. В условиях медицинского учреждения под контролем кардиотокографии беременные мамы пели песни, а также под аппарат «Прелонинг» дышали в определенном режиме. Реакции детей оценивались по количеству акцелераций на токограммах. Также, в условиях медицинского учреждения беременные женщины пели песни под контролем УЗИ. Специалист по ультразвуковой диагностики оценивал реакции детей. Результаты. Получены достоверные доказательства различных реакций детей на различные по характеру песни как методом кардиотокографии, так и методом ультразвуковой диагностики. Заключение. Полученные в исследовании данные демонстрируют психические реакции у детей в пренатальном онтогенезе.

problem: modern science has accumulated considerable experience in the field of pre- and perinatal psychology and medicine. However, the issue of the prenatal child's ability to perceive external and internal signals is still debatable. In addition, the founder of Russian psychology L.S.Vygotsky completely denied the presence of mental processes in a child in prenatal ontogenesis. The aim of the work is to study the reactions of a prenatal child (mamalysh, according to the author's terminology) to the singing of various songs by the mother, written within the framework of the "Sonatal" method, as well as to other stimuli. Methodology. In a medical facility, under the control of cardiotocography, pregnant mothers sang songs, and also breathed in a certain mode under the "Preloning" device. The children's reactions were assessed by the number of accellerations on the tokograms. Also, in a medical facility, pregnant women sang songs under ultrasound control. An ultrasound specialist assessed the children's reactions. Results. Reliable evidence has been obtained for various reactions of children to different songs by both cardiotocography and ultrasound diagnostics. Conclusion. The data obtained in the study demonstrate mental reactions in children in prenatal ontogenesis.

Kök kanal dolgu malzemesinin retreatment sonrası kalan kısmı, apikal enfeksiyondan sorumlu debris ve mikroorganizmalar üzerinde aletlerin ve irrigasyon solüsyonlarının etkisini engelleyerek retreatment başarısızlığını artırır. Kalan kök dolgu materyali miktarını in vitro olarak değerlendirmek için çeşitli yöntemler kullanılır. Kalan dolgu materyali alanı periapikal radyografi ile belirlenebilir. Kanal duvarları stereomikroskop, operasyon mikroskobu ve SEM ile değerlendirilebilir. Dentin tübüllerindeki kanal patı CLSM ile tespit edilebilir. Kalan dolgu materyali hacmi mikro-CT ve CBCT ile ölçülebilir. Farklı yöntemler farklı değerlendirmeler sunar. İki boyutlu değerlendirme yöntemleri ve değerlendirilmesi için seçilen kök kanalı bölümleri dikkatle yorumlanmalıdır. Kesin sonuçlar veren bir yöntem yoktur. İdeal olarak mikro-CT, CBCT'ye kıyasla daha iyi çözünürlüğe sahiptir ve hacim tahmini ile ilgili daha doğru sonuçlar gösterir fakat erişilebilirlik ve klinik fizibilite avantajları nedeniyle CBCT kullanımı öne çıkabilmektedir.
Antifp SRF: Identifying Antifungal Peptides by Sequence Statistical Moments and Random Forest Classifier
Authors: Asad Hina
Published: April 2024

Numerous types of fungus are unhealthy and can lead to life-threatening conditions in people. A fungal infection that targets specific bodily regions and that the immune system is unable to fight off. Numerous studies have been conducted on the topic, but due to its negative side effects, medications, chemicals, and conventional techniques have not proven effective enough. Due to the rapidly invading fungus species, antimicrobial peptides having antifungal properties emerged as a new and powerful candidate due to their efficiency and selectivity. Many mathematical models are being developed for its identification, including Deep-AntiFP and AntiFP, the most recently. However, it has limited performance in accuracy, sensitivity, precision, and MCC. This study investigates an efficient and accurate computational model for the prediction of antifungal peptides (AFPs) using machine learning approaches. The model uses the statistical moment as feature extraction and Random Forest (RF) as a predictor to predict AFPs from non-AFPs. 10-fold cross-validation, independent tests, and self-consistency tests are used to validate the performance of the model. Three datasets are used for model training and its evaluation, namely Antifp Main, Antifp DS1, and Independent Main. The model achieved an accuracy of 95.73%, 97.01%, and 99.15% for Antifp Main, Antifp DS1, and Independent main respectively through independent testing; 97.4%, 97.3%, and 97.4% by 10-fold cross-validation and 99.74%, 99.87 and 99.83 by self-consistency testing. The proposed model has shown excellent results for all three datasets as compared to the existing models available in the literature.

Stress is the non-specific physiological and psychological response of the body to any demands placed upon it. Many individuals believe they have a comprehensive understanding of stress; however, it is in fact a complex and often misconstrued phenomenon. Stress can elicit a range of emotions including frustration, fear, conflict, pressure, hurt, anger, inadequacy, guilt, loneliness, and confusion. The financial implications of work-related stress on corporations are significant, resulting in lost employment opportunities, decreased productivity, and increased costs associated with alcoholism. The pressures of performing in an environment characterized by rapid sociological, technological, and economic changes are beginning to manifest negative effects. Within organizations, there are numerous factors that can contribute to stress, ultimately resulting in additional costs for the company. Consequently, the organization bears the burden of reduced productivity levels, increased training expenses, declining assets, negative public perception, potential legal disputes, heightened health and safety concerns, high rates of absenteeism, high employee turnover, and the development of psychological and behavioral disorders. These consequences of stress within an organization can be mitigated through the implementation of a stress management culture. This study aims to provide insights into stress within the workplace. Firstly, it explores the nature of stress itself. The primary objective of this study is to identify and analyze the detrimental effects of stress on employees. The research ultimately emphasizes several strategies that people and organisations may use in order to proficiently address and mitigate stress.
