Authors: Di Bari Silvia , Raumer Luigi , Circelli Alessandro , Viola Lorenzo , Gardelli Greta , Bisulli Marcello , Cristini Francesco , Russo Emanuele
Published: April 2023

Acinetobacter baumannii is commonly known to cause infection in immunocompromised patients. During COVID-19 pandemic, outbreaks of multidrug-resistant organisms, including Acinetobacter, have been well documented in acute care hospitals, particularly among critically ill patients. In the case reported, a woman was admitted to our ICU because of a severe COVID-19 pneumonia. During her stay, she worsened due to Acinetobacterrelated lung cavitations and only after proper antibiotic treatment she eventually recovered. To our knowledge, very few cases have been reported pointing to Acinetobacter as a causal agent for the acute development of lung cavities, especially in COVID-19 patients.
Multidisciplinary teams in high intensity medicine

Published: April 2023

When I was younger, I had the privilege of seeing the greatest player in the history of soccer play live: Diego Armando Maradona. Maradona was able to win matches and tournaments just on his own. In contrast, in third millennium medicine, no physician can expect to defeat complex diseases requiring high-intensity care without the support of a team.

The inherent complexity of precision medicine, the abundance of treatment options, and the need to set up long-term treatment pathways with different intensities of care, are driving toward a win-win approach of patient management by Multidisciplinary Teams (MDT). This is the whole reason Acute Care Medicine Surgery and Anaesthesia (AMSA) was born: ranging from the name of the journal to the composition of the editorial board, our interest in critically ill and surgical patients is clearly visible.

Published: April 2023

Mid-point Transverse process to Pleura Block (MTPB) is an alternative approach to paravertebral block. We retrospectively assessed hemodynamic stability, inadvertent pleural puncture and antalgic effectiveness of this approach compared with traditional paravertebral block. Moreover, being used to add methylene bleu to local anesthetic solution as a tracer, we compared the diffusion pattern in paravertebral space of the two techniques. We reported retrospectively 40 patients underwent lung lobectomy from July to October 2021 in Monaldi Hospital (Naples, Italy) receiving thoracic paravertebral block (n=20) or mid-point transverse process to pleura block (n=20). The primary outcomes were a 20% mean arterial pressure variation from the base line, chest wall or pleural hematoma and technique failure. Analgesic effectiveness was assessed comparing remifentanil consumption to keep nociception index level < 25 and patient’s VAS in post anesthesia care unit or daycare surgical unit at 60’. Also the methylene blue spread was assessed by a surgeon, blinded to patient’s name reviewing surgery videorecord of every cases. MAP decrease > 20% was greater in the TPVB. No significative differences were reported for pleural punctures, chest wall hematomas or failure of the technique in the two groups. Methylene blue was evident in all patients of the TPVB, while it was not visible in any of the patients of the MTPB group. Remifentanil consumption, nociception index level and postoperative 60’ VAS were greater in the MTPB.Antalgic power and local anesthetic spread of TPVB seems to be superior to the MTPB, even if the safety profile of the latter seems to be better. Due to the retrospective nature of the study and the small number of cases in the sample, further studies are needed.

Published: April 2023

The optimal management of respiratory failure related to SARS-CoV-2 infection is a subject of heated debates in the scientific community. The lack of solid scientific evidence, combined with the unclear pathophysiology of COVID-19 pneumonia, means that the modalities and duration of ventilator assistance often rely on subjective assessments of the doctor on call. In establishing a suitable respiratory support, it is essential to evaluate the degree of activation of the respiratory muscles as objectively as possible. Among the various methods of evaluating the inspiratory effort, measurement of the phasic variations of esophageal pressure (intended as a surrogate of pleural pressure) represents the gold standard. Esophageal pressure measurement can be implemented in a minimally invasive way in every patient category, does not require sophisticated devices, and provides objective data about respiratory muscle activity. In patients with ongoing COVID-19-related respiratory failure, esophageal pressure monitoring allows i) optimizing the type and settings of noninvasive ventilation, ii) providing objective support in the delicate choice of establishing invasive ventilation in cases in which such an indication is unclear, and iii) monitoring the clinical evolution of COVID-19 pneumonia to allow early interception of cases with progressive worsening of lung function. Esophageal manometry provides a complete and objective assessment of respiratory muscle activity. Its clinical use in patients with respiratory failure in the course of COVID-19 would allow clarifying some pathophysiological aspects of the disease and customizing ventilatory support according to the needs of specific patients.
Patient safety culture at the unit level of a tertiary hospital in South Africa: a survey study
Authors: Abraham Veena , Meyer Johanna , Godman Brian , Helberg Elvera
Published: April 2023

Background. Patient safety research is scarce in developing countries. Estimates of patient harm due to healthcare processes in resource-poor settings are thought to be greater than those in developed countries. Ideally, errors in healthcare should be seen as opportunities to improve the future quality of care.Objective. This study aimed to investigate patient safety culture within high-risk units of a tertiary hospital in South Africa.Methods. A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional methodology, using a survey questionnaire that measured 10 safety dimensions and one outcome measure among clinical and nursing staff, was employed.Results. Two hundred participants completed the survey questionnaire. Areas of strength identified by the participants included organizational learning (91.09%), staff attitudes (88.83%), and perceptions of patient safety (76.65%). Dimensions that have potential for improvement included awareness and training (74.04%), litigation (73.53%), feedback and communication about errors (70.77%), non-punitive response to error reporting (51.01%), size and tertiary level of the hospital (53.76%), and infrastructure and resources (58.07%). The only dimension identified as weak was teamwork and staffing (43.72%). In terms of the patient safety grade, respondents graded their own units highly but graded the hospital as a whole as having a poor patient safety grade.Conclusion. There are still significant gaps in the quality of care provided at this tertiary hospital. The current patient safety culture is perceived as punitive in nature with regard to reporting adverse events. It is advised that targeted patient safety improvements be made, followed by further investigation.

Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND:

Approximately one-fourth of individuals who seek treatment in outpatient medical settings have Medically Unexplained Physical Symptoms (MUPS), a prevalent medical ailment. Patients with MUPS have a considerable functional impairment, and a lower quality of life, and may also have co-occurring psychiatric conditions.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Eleven Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) (four virtual and seven face-to-face) were conducted with patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals in 2021 in a tertiary care hospital in New Delhi. Thematic analysis was carried out using QSR Nvivo software.

RESULTS:

A total of 36 participants were recruited in the study, including patients with MUPS (n = 12), caregivers (n = 10), and healthcare professionals (n = 14) dealing with the patients of MUPS. Three themes were identified: burden of MUPS, symptom profile of patients with MUPS, and psychological profile of patients with MUPS. These were further categorized into eight sub-themes: prevalence, symptoms, course of illness, improvement with treatment, duration of symptoms, attribution of symptoms, psychological impact, and coping strategies.

CONCLUSION:

The study helped us to gain insight into the characteristics and experiences of patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals dealing with MUPS in an Indian setup. Greater awareness of MUPS and training of care providers about the occurrence, management, and referral of MUPS can be beneficial.

Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND:

If the data elements needed for patient registries are not identified, designing and implementing them can be very challenging. Identifying and introducing a Data Set (DS) can help solve this challenge. The aim of this study was to identify and present a DS for the design and implementation of the upper limb disability registry.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This cross-sectional study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, to identify the administrative and clinical data elements required for registry, a comprehensive study was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Then, the necessary data elements were extracted from the studies and a questionnaire was designed based on them. In the second phase, in order to confirm the DS, the questionnaire was distributed to 20 orthopedic, physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians and physiotherapists during a two-round Delphi. In order to analyze the data, the frequency and mean score of each data element were calculated. Data elements that received an agreement more than 75% in the first or two-round Delphi were considered for the final DS.

RESULTS:

A total of 81 data elements in five categories of “demographic data”, “clinical presentation”, “past medical history”, “psychological issues”, and “pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments” were extracted from the studies. Finally, 78 data elements were approved by experts as essential data elements for designing a patient registry for upper limb disabilities.

CONCLUSION:

In this study, the data elements necessary for the design and implementation of the upper limb disability registry were suggested. This DS can help registry designers and health data administrators know what data needs to be included in the registry system in order to have a successful design and implementation. Moreover, this standardized DS can be effective for integrating and improving the information management of people with upper limb disabilities and used to accurately gather the upper limb disabilities data for research and policymaking purposes.

В работе автора 1980 г. была дана интерпретация гипотезы Бeрча и Свиннертон-Дайера для дивизоров на абелевых многообразиях в терминах адельных чисел Тамагавы. Позже в совместной работе автора и К. Като была предложена более общая интерпретация в терминах адельных объемов для значений дзета-функций мотивов с весами ${<} {-1}$. В настоящей работе гипотеза о числах Тамагавы обобщается на случай веса $-1$. Как и в совместной работе автора с Като, адельные точки на многообразиях заменяются когомологиями с коэффициентами в аделях. Кроме того, вводятся адельные торы над группами когомологий с коэффициентами в аделях для получения аналогов торов Нерона-Севери из статьи 1980 г.
Optimal equivalent‐time sampling for periodic complex signals with digital down‐conversion
Authors: Kim Kyung‐Won , Kwon Heon‐Kook , Kim Myung‐Don
Published: April 2023

Equivalent‐time sampling can improve measurement or sensing systems because it enables a broader frequency band and higher delay resolution for periodic signals with lower sampling rates than a Nyquist receiver. Meanwhile, a digital down‐conversion (DDC) technique can be implemented using a straightforward radio frequency (RF) circuit. It avoids timing skew and in‐phase/quadrature gain imbalance instead of requiring a high‐speed analog‐to‐digital converter to sample an intermediate frequency (IF) signal. Therefore, when equivalent‐time sampling and DDC techniques are combined, a significant synergy can be achieved. This study provides a parameter design methodology for optimal equivalent‐time sampling using DDC.

Published: April 2023

Muslim Women in the National Movement of Crimean Tatars since the Late Nineteenth Century. The Birth of Women’s Activism, Their Historic Role and Social Position The socio-political movement of Crimean Tatars since the second half of the nineteenth century, aiming for political and territorial autonomy in Crimea, is traditionally associated with the name of its iconic leader Mustafa Dzhemilev. Meanwhile, a closer look at the nation’s struggle to reach its goals allows us to also see the role of women by no means reduced to the function of mothers and wives of activists. Examples can be drawn from the dawn of the movement to the present day, describing the profiles of prominent female figures whose socio-political activities have influenced the formation of the modern national and religious identity of Crimean Tatars. This publication presents a description and analysis of the role women played in the history of the nation during its independence movement. Using the example of outstanding silhouettes, the author demonstrates that Crimean Tatar women activists often performed key tasks at the most decisive moments of history, which in no small measure influenced the relatively high position of Muslim women in the social hierarchy of the nation.

Öğretmen Adaylarının Bilgi Okuryazarlığı Becerilerindeki Zorlanma Düzeylerinin Sınıf Düzeylerine Göre Farklılıkları: Atatürk Üniversitesi Örneği
Authors: KAVAK Ali
Published: April 2023

Bilgi gereksinimini tanımlama, gereksinim duyulan bilgiyi bulma, değerlendirme, etkin şekilde kullanma ve iletme becerilerini içeren bilgi okuryazarlığı, bilginin bir güç olarak kullanılma biçimidir. Bilgi okuryazarlığı becerilerinden yoksun eğitilmiş bir toplumun fertleri, bilgiyi bir güç olarak kullanmaktan yoksun kalabilir. Eğitimin ana aktörleri olan öğretmenlerin bu güce sahip olması toplumun gelişimi için önemlidir. Bu itibarla üniversitelerde öğrenim gören öğretmen adaylarının bilgi okuryazarlığı eğitimleri önemli bir süreci kapsadığı ve çalışmanın temel problem noktası olarak öğretmen adaylarının bu becerilere tam anlamıyla sahip olamadan mezun oldukları düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada öğretmen adaylarının bilgi okuryazarlığı becerilerindeki zorlanma düzeylerinin lisans eğitimleri süresince hangi seviyede geliştiği belirlenerek gelişimin sınıf düzeylerine göre farklılıklar gösterip göstermediği amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda öğretmen adaylarının bilgi okuryazarlığı becerilerinden bilme, erişim, değerlendirme, kullanma ve etik/yasal konularda üniversite eğitimleri boyunca ne derece geliştikleri sorularına cevap aranmıştır. Bu bağlamada araştırmanın örneklem grubu olarak belirlenen Atatürk Üniversitesi Kâzım Karabekir Eğitim Fakültesinde öğrenim gören birinci ve son sınıflardaki öğretmen adaylarına “Bilgi Okuryazarlığı Anketi” uygulanmış ve elde edilen veriler araştırma kapsamında değerlendirilmiştir. Öğretmen adaylarının bilgi okuryazarlığı becerilerindeki zorlanma düzeyleri bir bütün olarak değerlendirildiğinde öğrenimleri süresince bilgi okuryazarlığı becerilerindeki kazanımların arttığı izlenmiştir. Fakat kazanılan bu becerilerin ideal seviyenin altında olduğu görülmüştür. Çıkan bu sonuç öğretmen adaylarının üniversitedeki öğrenimleri süresince bilgi okuryazarlığı yetkinliklerinde yüksek oranda gelişemediklerini göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda öğretmen adaylarının bilgi okuryazarlığı becerilerinin gelişmesi için lisans eğitimleri süresince bilgi okuryazarlığı veya diğer okuryazarlık eğitimlerine ilişkin iyileştirmelerin düzenlenmesi gerektiği düşünülmektedir.
Empirical Wavelet Transform Method for Enhancement of Medical Image Fusion
Authors: Nelaturi Nagendra Reddy , Bitra Jayalakshmi , Goli Srinivasa Rao
Published: April 2023

The process of creating an image's emulsion is selecting the crucial details from numerous images and combining them into smaller images, often one bone. In the areas of satellite imaging, remote seeing, target shadowing, medical imaging, and many other areas, image emulsion is quite useful. This design tries to illustrate how Empirical Wavelet transfigures work when used with the Simple Average Emulsion Rule to emulsify multi-focus images. The suggested approach has been tested using common datasets for merging images with various focal points. Empirical Wavelet Transform is primarily a method that uses an adaptive approach to produce a Multi-Resolution Analysis of the signal. The effectiveness of the suggested approach is calculated in a variety of ways. Visual perception and the evaluation of common quality metrics, such as Root Mean Squared Error, Entropy, and Peak Signal to Noise ratio, are used to compare the performance of the proposed system. The proposed fashion based on the Empirical Wavelet Transform (EWT) outperforms the existing methods, according to the study of the experimental results. According to the suggested criteria, the fused image's entropy should be higher than the component images' because the emulsion's efficiency decreases as entropy increases. This technique takes MRI and CT scans into account.

Published: April 2023

The current global population is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, which will put immense pressure on the food production system to meet the growing demand. However, the traditional farming system alone is not sufficient to meet this demand due to various limitations such as limited land availability, environmental factors, and inefficient use of resources. As a result, there is a real need for adapting new farming systems that can help stimulate plant growth faster and more efficiently. One such technique is Hydroponics, which is a soil-less method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent. Hydroponics has been proven to be more efficient than traditional farming systems, as it allows for higher crop yields in less time and with fewer resources. Therefore, creating awareness about this new farming technique and providing farmers with the necessary resources and support to implement it on their farms can help address the food production challenges. In addition to the farming technique, farmers are also facing issues related to intermediaries, who take a cut of their profits, resulting in losses for the farmers. To address this problem, a platform is being created to enable direct interaction between farmers and buyers By implementing this solution, farmers can increase their income, improve their standard of living, and contribute to the development of a sustainable and efficient food production system.

Published: April 2023

Plants play an essential role in climate change, agriculture industry and a country’s economy. There by taking care of plants is very crucial. Just like humans, plants are affected by several disease caused by bacteria, fungi and virus. Identification of these disease timely and curing them is essential to prevent whole plant from destruction. Identification of the plant leaf diseases is the key to preventing the losses in the yield and quantity of the agricultural product. Most of the countries depend upon agriculture. Due to the factors like diseases, pest attacks and sudden change in whether condition, the productivity of crop decreases. The studies of the plant diseases mean the studies of visually observable patterns seen on the plants. It takes long time and difficult to detect a disease in a plant manually. Hence, Deep Learning is used for detection of plant diseases. For this approach, Convolution neural networks will be used for classification based on learning with some training samples of Plant leaves like wheat. The algorithm and method that are used here is convolution neural network (CNN) by using EfficientnetB3 architecture using the Python programming. Overall, the approach of training deep learning models on increasingly large and publicly available image datasets presents a clear path towards crop disease diagnosis on a massive global scale. Finally, the simulated result shows the disease of the plant and how much area it is affected.

Multiple forms of disinformation have proliferated on digital media platforms during the COVID-19 pandemic, when news consumption increased considerably. In this specific context, this paper investigates the way media diet influences the third person perceptions about people’s ability to detect fake news. We focus here on some understudied predictors of third person perception about fake news detection, such as diversity of media diet and belief in conspiracy theories. By means of a national survey (N=1006) conducted in Romania in October 2020, we test this effect for close and distant others, and the role both mainstream and online media play in this context. Main findings show that frequency of news consumption, trust in the media, and belief in conspiracy theories decrease the perceptual gap between self and others, while education and the diversity of the media diet intensifies it. Keywords: third person effect; media diet; news consumption; conspiracy theories; COVID-19. ●●●●● Platformele media digitale au favorizat apariția unor forme multiple de dezinformare în timpul pandemiei de COVID-19, atunci când consumul de știri a crescut considerabil. În acest context, prezenta lucrare investighează modul în care dieta (agenda!!) media influențează percepțiile oamenilor cu privire capacitatea lor și a celor din jur de a detecta știri false (percepția celei de-a treia persoane; en. third person perception). Sunt analizați predictori ai acestei percepții, precum diversitatea dietei (agendei) media și credința în teoriile conspirației. Prin intermediul unui sondaj național (N=1006) realizat în România în octombrie 2020, este analizat efectul celei de-a treia persoane și rolul pe care mass-media mainstream și cea online îl joacă în acest context. Principalele rezultate arată faptul că frecvența consumului de știri, încrederea în mass-media și credința în teoriile conspirației scad decalajul perceptiv dintre sine și ceilalți, în timp ce educația și diversitatea dietei mass-media îl intensifică.

Principalele obiective ale acestei lucrări sunt acelea de a descrie evoluţia conceptului de dezvoltare, dar şi de a evalua impactul acestor evoluții asupra principalelor abordări ale metodelor de reducere a sărăciei. Analiza principalelor definiţii ale dezvoltării reprezintă un demers important, deoarece evidențiază atât impactul anumitor evenimente pentru selectarea indicatorilor relevanţi folosiţi pentru definirea nivelului de dezvoltare, cât şi impactul asupra principalelor politici de reducere a sărăciei. Aceste două concepte distincte au evoluat concomitent, urmărind aceleași tendințe globale, existând abordări diferite în funcție de zona geografică și nivelul de dezvoltare. Cuvinte-cheie: teorii ale dezvoltării; politici de reducere a sărăciei; teorii evoluționiste; Indicele Dezvoltării Umane (IDU). The main objectives of this paper are to describe the evolution of the concept of development and to evaluate the impact of those changes on poverty reduction methods. Both of these concepts have evolved following the same pattern and global trends, while having a distinct approach in different countries, in accordance with their location and development. By looking at these various definitions of development in chronological order, we can identify the effects of certain events and trends on how the relevant indicators were chosen to measure development, while also establishing their relation with poverty reduction policies and strategies. Keywords: development theories; poverty reduction policies; evolutionist theories of development; human development index.
Predestinasi dan Reprobasi dalam Analogi Lalang di antara Gandum: Kajian Naratif Matius 13:24-30; 36-43
Authors: Sugihyono
Published: April 2023

Abstract

This paper aims to examine bdemonically the parable of the tares between the wheat in Matthew 13:24-30 and 36-43 in response to the problems of Calvin's doctrine of predestination and reprobation that have been in opposition. Using a qualitative approach with a literature study method through the source of books and literature correlates with this research problem. The author also uses the principles of hermeneutics to interpret the biblical text from the original language. From this research, it can be concluded that by connecting the parable of the tares among the wheat in Matthew 13:24-30 and 36-43 with the concepts of predestination and reprobation, the answer to the problem of predestination and reprobation is obtained, namely: God's basis for choosing who will be saved is by seed. Whether the man is the seed of wheat (His children), or the seed of tares (the children of the devil). If it is His son, he will be saved. Likewise, if God allows or ordains a person to hell, this is because that person is the seed of the evil one, and indeed the place worthy of him is in hell.

Tulisan ini bertujuan mengkaji secara biblis perumpamaan lalang di antara gandum dalam Matius 13:24-30 dan 36-43  sebagai jawaban atas persoalan-persoalan doktrin predestinasi dan reprobasi Calvin yang selama ini menjadi pertentangan. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi pustaka, melalui sumber buku-buku dan literatur yang berkorelasi dengan masalahpenelitianini. Penulis juga menggunakan prinsip-prinsip hermeneutika untuk menafsirkan teks Alkitab dari bahasa aslinya. Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa dengan menghubungkan perumpamaan lalang di antara gandum dalam Matius 13:24-30 dan 36-43 dengan konsep predestinasi dan reprobasi, maka didapatkan jawaban atas persoalan predestinasi dan reprobasi, yaitu: Dasar Allah memilih siapa saja yang akan selamat adalah berdasarkan benih. Apakah orang itu adalah benih gandum (anak-anak-Nya), ataukah benih lalang (anak-anak iblis). Bila anak-Nya, maka ia akan diselamatkan. Demikian juga sebaliknya, bila Allah membiarkan atau menetapkan seseorang masuk neraka, hal ini adalah karena orang itu merupakan benih dari si jahat, dan memang tempat yang layak baginya adalah di neraka.

Published: April 2023

Abstract

Indonesia has the fourth largest population in the world and the country with the largest Muslim-majority population. Indonesia also has many adherents of Christianity, accompanied by adherents of other religions and beliefs which have long coexisted in Indonesia. A life that liberates everyone to embrace their beliefs has long been happening in Indonesia as part of a culture of mutual respect, cooperation, and assistance in the community. Christian religious education supports freedom of religion, which is the fundamental right of every human being to choose what to believe without being forced by other people and the state. Christian religious education is the foundation taught in schools and churches on how God gave free will to humans. Therefore, freedom of religion is a gift that God has given that is inherent in human nature. Indonesia can be an example of how culturally and religiously they can coexist. The purpose of this study is to explain that the implication of religious freedom is the availability of Christian religious education at the school level. The research method used is library research which collects materials from books and journals and then manages them to take the formulations needed in writing this research.

Authors: Ngesthi Yonathan Salmon Efrayim , Anjaya Carolina Etnasari
Published: April 2023

Abstract

The healing miracles that the Lord Jesus performed during the New Testament period have theological significance for the faith life of today's believers. The process of the miraculous healing of blindness experienced by Bartimaeus is an illustration of how the Christian faith growth pattern should occur. This study aims to provide an overview of the theological meaning of the healing miracle found in Mark 10:46-52 and its relevance to the growth of faith so that believers can have confidence that continues to grow stronger in this era. The method chosen to present this study is descriptive qualitative through a literature study approach. This study found that the process of Christian faith growth will occur through three main stages: acknowledging the Lord Jesus as a savior, repentance, and commitment to live according to His pattern of life in simplicity and work hard for others. The main key to its application is the willingness to divert the vision from worldly matters to heavenly matters and the courage to let go of the stability of life.
