Published: October 2024

This research aims to optimize the ability of students to be ready to face the demands of communication in the contemporary era. The research location is on the campus of the Institut Agama Hindu Negeri Gde Pudja Mataram. This research is designed in qualitative descriptive, using Constructivism theory and Public Communication theory. The results showed that the learning dynamics describe a dynamic, learner-centered process, and focus on deep understanding so that students become active, critical, and independent, while understanding that learning is not only about accumulating facts, but also about meaningful knowledge construction. Communication ethics plays an important role in building individuals as presenters based on moral norms and principles that govern how to speak, listen, and interact with others. Through the practice of public speaking as an optimization of proficiency in communication helps students become presenters by developing speaking skills, overcoming stage anxiety, understanding the audience, and stimulating creativity in communication. Good self-expression makes the host more skillful and effective so as to create a connection with the audience, make communication more interesting, and express commitment to the message conveyed.

مفهوم الإصلاح في القانون الدولي
Authors: الحمري عبدالباسط ابراهيم
Published: October 2024

: " إصلاح الضرر " هو أكثر دقة وذلك لشموله كافة الوسائل التي يتم بها جبر الضرر المترتب على انتهاك قواعد القانون الدولي، أما اصطلاح التعويض فهو يستعمل للدلالة على إصلاح الضرر بمعناه الضيق والمتمثل في دفع مبلغ من النقود. وتكمن أهمية هذا الموضوع في الخلاف المثار حول مصطلح "إصلاح الضرر " وهل يمكن أن يكون له وصف العقوبة أم لا، فبينما يقول البعض بانتفاء الصفة العقابية للالتزام بإصلاح الضرر حيث لا يتصور أن تكون الدولة مجرماً ، ذهب البعض الأخر إلى القول بإمكانية تحقق الصفة العقابية للإصلاح ، وعلى ذلك فسنعرض للإصلاح كالتزام يفرضه القانون الدولي كأثر للمسؤولية الدولية وذلك في فرع أول ثم نعرض للخلاف حول توافر الصفة العقابية من عدمها وذلك في فرع ثان.
الرواية في ليبيا
Authors: البنداق محمد على
Published: October 2024

تمثل الأدب الروائي شكلًا من أشكال التعبير الفني، حيث يعتمد على السرد والوصف والحوار، وفي ركائزه الفنية على الأحداث والشخصيات والصراعات التي تدور بينها، وتعبر عن مشاعر وأفكار ومفاهيم. ورغم تأخر ظهور الرواية في ليبيا نسبيًا مقارنةً ببقية الدول العربية، إلا أن الروائي الليبي تمكن من مواكبة الحركة الأدبية العالمية والعربية، وصياغة روايات تعبر عن واقع المجتمع وتطوراته. بدأت محاولات الرواية الليبية في السبعينيات، حيث شهدت فترة استقرارٍ اجتماعي وسياسي واقتصادي، مما سمح للكتّاب بالتعبير بحرية أكبر. ونضج الرواية في تلك الفترة كان نتيجة لتطور الفن القصصي الذي بدأت محاولاته الأولى في الخمسينيات، ويُعتبر كتاب "نفوس حائرة" للكاتب عبد القادر أبوهروس أول مجموعة قصصية متكاملة في ليبيا. بينما يرجع بعض الباحثين ظهور القصة القصيرة في ليبيا إلى فترة سابقة، حيث نشرت الصحف المحلية قصصًا قصيرة في بدايات القرن العشرين.

Coordination of Monetary and Fiscal Policies from a Game Theoretic Perspective
Authors: Zhang Enqi
Published: October 2024

Under the backdrop of a highly intricate international environment and sluggish recovery of the global economy, it is crucial to delve into methods for bolstering national economic prowess and promoting economic prosperity and stability. Monetary policy and fiscal policy, as two primary macro-control tools, play a pivotal role in national progress, with their effective coordination becoming a significant issue. Game theory, a tool to mathematically model decisions made by different individuals through logical analysis, provides a solid theoretical foundation and practical framework for studying the issue. This paper utilizes game theory to model the coordination among the two policy-makers, the central banks and the governments while establishing a payoff matrix that reflects their utilities. During normal or recovery periods, this paper views it as a cooperative game, and the cooperative equilibrium will be that both policy-makers choose expansionary policies. During financial crisis, this paper views it as a non-cooperative game, and the Nash equilibrium will be that both policy-makers choose contractionary policies. Additionally, this paper selects specific examples from Brazilian history to validate the rationality of the model while confirming that the short-term equilibrium aligns with the modeling conclusions.
Ai daquele que dizer haver paz quando não há paz: apontamentos hermenêuticos sobre a contemporaneidade à luz de Ezequiel 13,1-16
Authors: Eugenio Schietti Mariana
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo propõe uma análise da perícope de Ezequiel 13,1-16, a partir de seu contexto, qual seja o exílio babilônico, para que sirva de paradigma à realidade contemporânea. Ezequiel é um sacerdote que se torna profeta, sua tarefa é denunciar seus conterrâneos, profetas que pronunciavam a paz quando não havia paz. No texto a intenção e os benefícios obtidos pelos falsos profetas são expostos e recebem os oráculos divinos. Da mesma forma, em nossos dias, há muitos profetas propagando a paz de viver em meio ao consumismo extremo, ao enriquecimento individual frente ao empobrecimento das massas, ao desempenho profissional como forma de sucesso ainda que se perca a alma e o espírito para isso. Para essa análise utilizou-se da pesquisa bibliográfica, qualitativa e hermenêutica.

Authors: Boakye Kwaku , Salifu Iddrisu , Danso Hayford , Lee Yu-Feng
Published: October 2024

This study aimed to analyze the profitability of sampled pineapple farmers, processors, and marketers in Ghana, which will help to assess how these actors optimize available resources to generate profits and achieve production efficiency. A cross-sectional descriptive survey design was used with interview schedules as the data collection instruments. The sample size was 320, 66, and 169, pineapple farmers, processors, and marketers respectively. The study found that pineapple production and processing were profitable, but marketing was not. The results showed a significant difference in the profit share of the group actors, highlighting that the profit share of each actor along the pineapple value chain is different. The results also showed that income, capital, and planting materials were the main determinants of farmers' profits. On the other hand, capital, pineapples, and packaging materials were the predictors of processors' profits. While transport, revenue, and loading and unloading costs predicted the marketer's profit. Based on these findings, the study recommended that NGOs and other partner agencies promote the pineapple industry in various ways to reduce poverty by providing credit facilities to actors to increase their productivity, profitability, and sustainability.
Evaluating the Readability, Credibility, and Quality of Spanish-Language Online Educational Resources for Knee Arthroplasty: Implications for Patient Education and Health Disparities
Authors: Busigó Torres Rodnell , Restrepo Mejia Mateo , Arroyave Juan Sebastian , Stern Brocha Z. , Chen Darwin D. , Moucha Calin S. , Poeran Jashvant , Hayden Brett L.
Published: October 2024

Introduction:

Spanish-speaking individuals may experience language-based disparities related to elective orthopaedic procedures. Because patients often seek online health information, we assessed the readability, credibility, and quality of Spanish-language educational websites for knee arthroplasty.

Methods:

We queried “Google,” “Yahoo,” and “Bing” using the term “reemplazo de rodilla” (knee replacement in Spanish) and extracted the top 50 websites per search engine. Websites were categorized by information source (physician/community hospital, university/academic, other) and presence of HONcode certification. Information was assessed for readability (Fernández-Huerta formula), credibility (Journal of the American Medical Association benchmark criteria), and quality (Brief DISCERN tool); scores were compared between the categories.

Results:

A total of 77 unique websites were included (40.3% physician/community hospital, 35.1% university/academic). The median readability score was 59.4 (10th to 12th-grade reading level); no websites achieved the recommended level of ≤6th grade. The median Journal of the American Medical Association benchmark score was 2 (interquartile range 1 to 3), with only 7.8% of websites meeting all criteria. The median Brief DISCERN score was 16 (interquartile range 12 to 20), with 50.7% meeting the threshold for good quality. University/academic websites had better readability (P = 0.02) and credibility (P = 0.002) but similar quality (P > 0.05) compared with physician/community hospital websites. In addition, HONcode-certified websites had better quality scores (P = 0.045) but similar readability and credibility (P > 0.05) compared with noncertified websites.

Discussion:

We identified limitations in readability, credibility, and quality of Spanish-language online educational resources for knee arthroplasty. Healthcare providers should be aware of these patient education barriers when counseling patients, and efforts should be made to support the online information needs of Spanish-speaking orthopaedic patients and mitigate language-based disparities.
Management of Bleeding Diathesis in Elective and Orthopaedic Trauma: A Review
Authors: Mansour Devone T. , Court Tannor A. , Bishop Carter R. , Vaidya Rahul
Published: October 2024

There is a general need among orthopaedic surgeons for practical advice on managing patients with bleeding disorders. Appropriate diagnosis and management of these disorders is paramount once discovered before, during, or after the patient's surgical course. Bleeding disorders disrupt the body's ability to control bleeding, commonly through platelet function and blood clotting. Normally, the vessel contracts and retracts once disruption of blood vessels occurs, limiting blood loss. Blood platelets adhere to exposed collagen, aggregate at the site, and obstruct blood loss. Because platelet aggregates are temporary, blood clotting is needed to back up the platelet plug and provide a milieu for the healing process that completes the hemostatic events. Disorders that interfere with any of these events can result in hemorrhage, drainage, or rebleeding. Bleeding disorders are a group of conditions, either hereditary or acquired, marked by abnormal or excessive bleeding and/or bruising. The most effective methods for assessing coagulation disorders include a detailed history and a series of blood tests. Clinical examination findings are notable but may be less specific. If a surgical patient has a bleeding disorder discovered preoperatively, postoperatively, or intraoperatively, treatments exist with medications, surgical management, interventional radiology procedures, and replacement therapy.
Preoperative CT Scans Prior to Distal Tibial Intramedullary Nailing Do not Change Treatment Decisions or Surgical Outcomes
Authors: Comadoll Shea M. , Paull Thomas Z. , Boike Sydney , Swenson Riley , Wojahn Robert D. , Nguyen Mai P.
Published: October 2024

Introduction:

Distal tibia shaft fractures have a high association with posterior malleolar fractures (PMFs); hence, a preoperative ankle CT scan is commonly obtained. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a CT scan for distal third tibia shaft fractures is associated with differences in recognition of a posterior malleolus fracture (PMF), treatment of an identified PMF, outcomes, and postoperative complications.

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed cases of adult patients with distal third tibia shaft fractures treated with an intramedullary nail between 2018 and 2020. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on whether they received a preoperative ankle CT scan. Outcomes included surgical time, the rate of missed PMFs or postoperative PMF displacement, the treatment of the PMFs, postoperative weight-bearing restrictions, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global-10 (PROMIS Global-10) scores, and unplanned revision surgeries.

Results:

124 patients (age 45 ± 18 years; 39.5% female) with distal third tibia shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nailing and with minimum 6 months of follow-up were reviewed. 26 patients received preoperative CT scans, and 98 patients did not have CT scans. The rate of detected PMF was 69.2% (N = 18) in patients with CT and 55.1% (N = 54) in patients without CT (P = 0.19). No significant differences were observed in all outcomes between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). 3 PMFs not visible on radiographs were identified on CT, and they did not require fixation and did not displace. PMFs that were greater than one-third of the joint surface were more likely to have a preoperative CT (P < 0.01).

Discussion:

Preoperative CT scans for distal third tibia shaft fractures may be useful in characterizing large PMFs; however, this knowledge does not translate into shorter surgical time, increased fixation rates, decreased unplanned revision surgery, or improved patient-reported outcomes. Discovery of PMFs did not always lead to fixation, and PMFs without fixation did not become further displaced.

Published: October 2024

В работе исследуется актуальная проблема, связанная с распространением незаконной международной миграции в России. Подчеркивается приоритетная задача государственных органов власти РФ по противодействию существующим нелегальным формам проявления миграционных процессов. Рассматриваются наиболее распространенные формы незаконной миграции. Автором проведен анализ результатов деятельности государственных органов внутренних дел в области противодействия незаконной миграции, а также в сфере укрепления правопорядка в сфере миграции и усиления контроля за миграционными потоками. Результат проведенного анализа позволил констатировать довольно значительное увеличение числа выявленных нарушений выезда, въезда и пребывания практически на 21% и числа выявленных нарушений установленного порядка осуществления трудовой деятельности в стране на 9,41%. По итогу исследования автором сформулирован вывод о том, что современная Россия остро нуждается в решительных и эффективных мерах по обеспечению правопорядка и безопасности в области международной миграции. Обоснована актуальность введения режима контролируемого пребывания. Действие данного правового режима предусматривает ряд запретов и ограничений в отношении незаконных мигрантов, пребывающих в России. Автор подчеркивает, что подобная мера может статья одной из наиболее перспективных по противодействию незаконной миграции и вполне способна продемонстрировать высокую результативность уже в ближайшем будущем.

The paper examines the current problem associated with the spread of illegal international migration in Russia. The priority task of state authorities of the Russian Federation to counteract existing illegal forms of manifestation of migration processes is emphasized. The most common forms of illegal migration are considered. The author analyzed the results of the activities of state internal affairs bodies in the field of counteracting illegal migration, as well as in the field of strengthening law and order in the field of migration and strengthening control over migration flows. The result of the analysis made it possible to state a fairly significant increase in the number of identified violations of exit, entry and stay by almost 21% and the number of identified violations of the established procedure for carrying out labor activity in the country by 9.41%. Based on the results of the study, the author formulated a conclusion that modern Russia is in dire need of decisive and effective measures to ensure law and order and security in the field of international migration. The relevance of introducing a controlled stay regime is substantiated. The effect of this legal regime provides for a number of prohibitions and restrictions on illegal migrants staying in Russia. The author emphasizes that such a measure could be one of the most promising in combating illegal migration and is quite capable of demonstrating high efficiency in the near future.

Introduction: Radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer has changed over the years with the advent of minimally invasive (MIRP) approaches, which includes robotic-assisted RP (RARP). The MIRP approaches have been shown to reduce complication rate, but there remain barriers to adoption. The objective of this study was to quantitatively describe the trend in the RP approach in Ontario, and to assess the trend in complication rates.
Methods: We conducted a population-based, retrospective cohort study including all men who underwent RP for prostate cancer in Ontario from 2010–2019. We used administrative data from Ontario’s health databases to gather surgical outcome data. Our primary outcomes were the annualized frequency of RP by surgical approach and annualized 30-day composite complication rate.
Results: In total, 22 118 patients were included in the analysis over the study period. There was a trend away from retropubic (RRP) frequency over the study period (80.3% of cases in fiscal year [FY] 2010 to 55.6% in FY 2018) and towards RARP approach (6.8% of cases in FY 2010 and 36.7% in FY 2018). The most common complication was blood transfusion at 6.26%, which saw a downtrend over the study period (7.96% FY 2010, 3.47% FY 2018). The odds ratio for 30-day complication for open RP compared to MIRP was 1.74 (95% confidence interval 1.57–1.92, p<0.001).
Conclusions: In Ontario, there has been a steady shift away from RRP and towards RARP. Minimally invasive approaches portend a significantly lower complication rate, likely driven by a lower blood transfusion rate.
