Published: March 2023

Background

Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening is effective in reducing lung cancer mortality in smokers; however, the evidence in nonsmokers is scarce.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the participant rate and effectiveness of one-off LDCT screening for lung cancer among smokers and nonsmokers.

Methods

A population-based prospective cohort study was performed to enroll participants aged between 40 and 74 years from 2013 to 2019 from 4 cities in Zhejiang Province, China. Participants who were evaluated as having a high risk of lung cancer from an established risk score model were recommended to undergo LDCT screening. Follow-up outcomes were retrieved on June 30, 2020. The uptake rate of LDCT screening for evaluated high-risk participants and the detection rate of early-stage lung cancer (stage 0-I) were calculated. The lung cancer incidence, lung cancer mortality, and all-cause mortality were compared between the screened and nonscreened groups.

Results

At baseline, 62.56% (18,818/30,079) of smokers and 6% (5483/91,455) of nonsmokers were identified as high risk (P<.001), of whom 41.9% (7885/18,818) and 66.31% (3636/5483) underwent LDCT screening (P<.001), respectively. After a median follow-up of 5.1 years, 1100 lung cancer cases and 456 all-cause death cases (116 lung cancer death cases) were traced. The proportion of early-stage lung cancer among smokers was 60.3% (173/287), which was lower than the proportion of 80.3% (476/593) among nonsmokers (P<.001). Among smokers, a higher proportion was found in the screened group (72/106, 67.9%) than the nonscreened group (56/114, 49.1%; P=.005), whereas no significance was found (42/44, 96% vs 10/12, 83%; P=.20) among nonsmokers. Compared with participants who were not screened, LDCT screening in smokers significantly increased lung cancer incidence (hazard ratio [HR] 1.39, 95% CI 1.09-1.76; P=.007) but reduced lung cancer mortality (HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.28-0.96; P=.04) and all-cause mortality (HR 0.47, 95% CI 0.32-0.69; P<.001). Among nonsmokers, no significant results were found for lung cancer incidence (P=.06), all-cause mortality (P=.89), and lung cancer mortality (P=.17).

Conclusions

LDCT screening effectively reduces lung cancer and all-cause mortality among high-risk smokers. Further efforts to define high-risk populations and explore adequate lung cancer screening modalities for nonsmokers are needed.
Development of a Supported Self-management Intervention for People With Severe Mental Illness and Type 2 Diabetes: Theory and Evidence-Based Co-design Approach

Published: March 2023

Background

Type 2 diabetes is 2 to 3 times more common among people with severe mental illness (SMI). Self-management is crucial, with additional challenges faced by people with SMI. Therefore, it is essential that any diabetes self-management program for people with SMI addresses the unique needs of people living with both conditions and the inequalities they experience within health care services.

Objective

We combined theory, empirical evidence, and co-design approaches to develop a type 2 diabetes self-management intervention for people with SMI.

Methods

The development process encompassed 4 steps: step 1 involved prioritizing the mechanisms of action (MoAs) and behavior change techniques (BCTs) for the intervention. Using findings from primary qualitative research and systematic reviews, we selected candidate MoAs to target in the intervention and candidate BCTs to use. Expert stakeholders then ranked these MoAs and BCTs using a 2-phase survey. The average scores were used to generate a prioritized list of MoAs and BCTs. During step 2, we presented the survey results to an expert consensus workshop to seek expert agreement with the definitive list of MoAs and BCTs for the intervention and identify potential modes of delivery. Step 3 involved the development of trigger films using the evidence from steps 1 and 2. We used animations to present the experiences of people with SMI managing diabetes. These films were used in step 4, where we used a stakeholder co-design approach. This involved a series of structured workshops, where the co-design activities were informed by theory and evidence.

Results

Upon the completion of the 4-step process, we developed the DIAMONDS (diabetes and mental illness, improving outcomes and self-management) intervention. It is a tailored self-management intervention based on the synthesis of the outputs from the co-design process. The intervention incorporates a digital app, a paper-based workbook, and one-to-one coaching designed to meet the needs of people with SMI and coexisting type 2 diabetes.

Conclusions

The intervention development work was underpinned by the MoA theoretical framework and incorporated systematic reviews, primary qualitative research, expert stakeholder surveys, and evidence generated during co-design workshops. The intervention will now be tested for feasibility before undergoing a definitive evaluation in a pragmatic randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND

Endometriosis is a complex chronic disease characterized by pain, including painful sex, that can contribute to considerable sexual function, self-esteem, and relationship challenges. Digital storytelling is an arts-based, participatory methodology wherein individuals create and share their illness experiences in detailing their lived experiences.

OBJECTIVE

The study objective was to pilot-test a web-based digital storytelling workshop focused on endometriosis to understand storytellers’ experiences of workshop participation. We assessed the feasibility of story cocreation and sharing, including the emotional impact of workshop participation, the acceptability of the workshop for the subject matter, and the storytellers’ willingness to share their stories with broader audiences as a method for knowledge translation.

METHODS

This study used a community-based participatory methodology supplemented with patient-oriented research and integrated knowledge translation. Study participants, referred to as storytellers, cocreated 3- to 5-minute individual digital stories about their lived experiences of endometriosis during a web-based workshop (comprising five 2-hour sessions over 6 weeks) facilitated by The Center for Digital Storytelling. Data were collected through participant observations at the workshop, storyteller weekly reflective journals, and an end-of-workshop focus group interview with storytellers. These data were analyzed using a qualitative interpretive description approach.

RESULTS

A total of 5 women and 1 nonbinary storyteller aged 19 to 39 years who had experienced endometriosis for 4 to 22 years participated in the study. We characterized storytelling workshop participation and the acceptability of story cocreation by describing participants’ experiences of opportunity, commitment, and connection; complex emotions that were healing; and a desire to share. Feasibility was demonstrated through 100% engagement in the workshops. All 6 storytellers reported feeling empowered by publicly sharing their cocreated digital stories through social media and the Sex, Pain & Endometriosis website.

CONCLUSIONS

Despite the complexities of the story-building process, the workshop and the cocreation and sharing of digital stories were feasible. The storytellers found that this process allowed for emotional healing and personal empowerment by offering a unique way to talk about painful sex, which also facilitated a connection among those in the workshop. The use of digital storytelling as a knowledge translation tool shows promise, and this approach also has potential as a therapeutic intervention.
Non-Muslim Voices on Halal Certification: From Sectoral-Religious Tendencies to State-Mandated Regulations
Authors: Sujibto B.J. , M Fakhruddin
Published: March 2023

In recent years, halal food and products have been expanding into the global economy, and today's halal market is estimated around USD 2.4 trillion globally. This article discusses the understanding and articulation of halalness and halal certification among non-Muslim business communities in Indonesia, focusing on owners of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Their voices need to be heard and responded to, especially by government agencies. Since the non- Muslim communities’ understanding of halalness is mostly based on their life experiences, it could be treated as empirical data to inform policy-making. Meanwhile, the government has issued Halal Product Assurance (JPH) Law 33/2014, which mandated the establishment of the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH). The enforcement of JPH Law is an attempt to strengthen the BPJPH’s position, but it faces challenges and conflicts of interest in politics and business. Using a qualitative approach to collect data from non-Muslim SME business players in Yogyakarta and Semarang, this study found that the articulation and understanding of halalness are narrowly sectoral, religious, and ideological. Rather than halal certification, the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority (BPOM) has become a more trusted certification. Therefore, the presence of the state is needed to regulate and optimize the fundamental aspects of halal certification, such as hygiene, cleanliness, and health.

Published: March 2023

Globalization has produced a complex strategic environment, posting a dynamic threat to national security. In this case, a strategic form of leadership becomes important in running a country, especially in the context of national defense. The purpose of this article is to reveal the bureaucratic leadership style that can function as a form of strategic leadership in national defense policy. Based on the literature study method, it was found that a transformational bureaucratic leadership model can be a form of strategic leadership in National Defense Policy in Indonesia. Leadership transformation is carried out through competency development in the form of superior leadership abilities and attitudes that are in accordance with the needs of the times. With this competence, bureaucratic leaders are expected to perform their leadership duties proportionately and handle any problems that may arise in their organization. The guardian leadership that can motivate, encourage, and serve as an example for their subordinates will be crucial in the realization of the bureaucratic leadership style to support national defense policy. Characteristics of a leader with honor, creativity, discipline, motivation, anticipation, guardianship, spirit of nationalism and patriotism, and integrity will have a positive impact on the National Defense Policy. By combining breakthroughs with a type of continuous control, the division of specific tasks at specific organizational level, and Millennial HR’s involvement, a leadership approach will be able to explore the potential to produce organizational performance far above what has been achieved so far, in particular in Indonesian National Defense policy management.
The evolution of the concept of hybridity in library knowledge: a discursive analysis
Authors: Silva Rafaela Carolina , Caldas Rosângela Formentini
Published: March 2023

Este estudio buscó profundizar en la concepción de las bibliotecas híbridas no solamente como instalaciones en las que se manifiesta el uso de herramientas analógicas y digitales, sino en las que se tiene en cuenta el ámbito cultural como factor de integración y de participación en los procesos de desarrollo de la sociedad. La investigación es cualitativa, descriptiva y bibliográfica. Durante la investigación se aplicó el método de Análisis del Discurso a algunos de los conceptos de biblioteca híbrida planteados en la literatura. Tomando en consideración el espacio institucional en el que el discurso fundamenta, en su mayor parte, sus enunciados, el concepto de biblioteca híbrida se entiende como la convergencia de la tecnología en la infraestructura de las bibliotecas. El derecho a hablar de bibliotecas híbridas comenzó con los profesionales de la información y se expandió a las comunidades que abarcan dichas instituciones. Los discursos sobre las bibliotecas híbridas pretenden delimitar la importancia de los profesionales de la información, que crean y mantienen los servicios bibliotecarios, en el uso de las tecnologías, poniéndose el énfasis en las necesidades de formación de los bibliotecarios. Se concluye que la hibridez debe ser entendida como un modelo de gestión bibliotecaria interna y externa, y, por lo tanto, puede y debe ser aplicada a todo tipo de bibliotecas, para que estas instituciones puedan acompañar los avances estructurales de la sociedad y seguir siendo relevantes para sus comunidades.
La seguridad pública mexicana y su alternativa en la vertiente no estatal del juicio democrático lato sensu
Authors: Ordóñez Joaquín
Published: March 2023

Aunque México es un Estado democrático en el que constitucionalmente se prevé que la seguridad pública es una función estatal, los problemas en ese rubro han sido preocupantes, por lo que en este artículo se plantea la necesidad y la posibilidad de que tal problema sea afrontado desde la postura ciudadana y no exclusivamente desde la gubernamental. Lo anterior con la finalidad de evidenciar que el juicio democrático lato sensu (JDLS) en su vertiente no estatal es una alternativa de solución, ya que en la investigación que hizo posible este trabajo se encontró que el ciudadano es el ente soberano y principal actor en un Estado democrático y esto indica que tiene la posibilidad de intervenir y participar para ayudar a la solución del fenómeno mencionado, lo cual se puede convertir incluso en un deber cívico cuando el Estado ha incumplido o ha sido deficiente en el cumplimiento de esa función pública. El análisis y desarrollo se realizó bajo el método de estudio de casos con análisis e interpretación de estadísticas sobre el problema en México sin omitir el método jurídico respecto a la normatividad atinente.
Dime dónde públicas, ¿y te diré?: tiempo, forma y selección en las revistas jurídicas latinoamericanas
Authors: Meneses Reyes Rodrigo , Garza Onofre Juan Jesús
Published: March 2023

La publicación de revistas jurídicas es una práctica generalizada y bicentenaria en América Latina. Sin embargo, es muy poco lo que sabemos sobre las políticas editoriales que han adoptado las revistas jurídicas en la región. No se cuenta con información clara sobre el tipo de procedimientos, criterios y decisiones que deben esperar los estudiosos del derecho para publicar sus trabajos. Después de reflexionar sobre las principales discusiones y aproximaciones sobre el tema, este trabajo avanza la cuestión presentando información sistematizada sobre poco más de setecientas revistas jurídicas que se publican periódicamente en la región, así como los lugares y años en que fueron fundadas. Los datos sirven para describir los formatos y tiempos en que estas publicaciones son puestas a disposición del público, así como también, explica la estructura y procedimiento seguido por estas publicaciones para determinar qué se publica y qué no. De esta manera, intentamos ofrecer una representación estadístico-descriptiva de las principales características de los formatos, criterios, procedimientos y prácticas públicas y explícitas que dan sustento adjetivo y material a las revistas jurídicas en América Latina.
El acceso a las medicinas. El derecho humano ante los monopolios farmacéuticos
Authors: Lemus Maciel Beatriz , Gómez Macfarland Carla Angélica
Published: March 2023

El artículo pretende mostrar que los lineamientos establecidos por la Organización Mundial del Comercio, en materia de medicamentos, margina del acceso a estas a la población vulnerable, por los altos costos de las medicinas de patente y el retraso de la incorporación de los productos genéricos debido a aranceles, ganancias, rentas y control monopólico; los dos últimos se fundamentan en el uso de las patentes y los mecanismos que alargan su vigencia.
Para ello, se identificaron los principales instrumentos jurídicos en torno al derecho humano a la salud y los cambios económicos y jurídicos en materia de propiedad intelectual, producto de la globalización, para visibilizar el impacto del monopolio temporal en la producción de medicinas.
El método analítico permitió identificar los numerales de los acuerdos que vulneran el derecho a la salud que rigen a los Estados miembros de la Organización Mundial del Comercio. Posteriormente, se describen ciertos elementos para sostener la hipótesis de que los instrumentos internacionales señalados posibilitan la monopolización de la producción, distribución y venta de las medicinas para la población mundial, priorizando las utilidades de empresas transnacionales sobre el derecho a la salud. Por último, el método sintético permitió establecer algunas conclusiones sobre las evidencias jurídicas y estadísticas, para robustecer la hipótesis planteada.
En cuanto a la originalidad, este trabajo pretende mostrar que se han priorizado los derechos económicos sobre los derechos humanos. Dentro de los hallazgos se encontró que las farmacéuticas, aprovechando los vacíos legales, han fortalecido y alargado la vida de sus monopolios.

Published: March 2023

O presente artigo teve por objetivo analisar comparativamente, a partir da perspectiva de pesquisadores do Brasil e de Portugal, como os ordenamentos jurídicos português e brasileiro responderam às demandas dos seus movimentos cooperativos para a realização das assembleias gerais virtuais das cooperativas na Pandemia de Covid-19. Para isso, realizou-se o estudo comparado não apenas para alcançar as praesumptio similitudinis de cada um dos ordenamentos jurídicos analisados, a partir da visão funcionalista de Konrad Zweigert e Hein Kötz. Buscou-se também compreender as razões jurídico-culturais que levaram cada país a adotar, como de fato adotaram, distintas soluções para exatamente o mesmo problema. Para este propósito em específico, admitiu-se a visão culturalista defendida por Pierre Legrand para contextualizar as respostas legais de Portugal e do Brasil à Pandemia de Covid-19 e, também, compreender as razões quanto às divergências de reações. Como conclusão, percebeu-se que tanto em Portugal quanto no Brasil a Pandemia foi capaz de, respectivamente, ratificar e produzir normas eficientes que hoje permitem a realização permanente de assembleias gerais virtuais com aderência ao princípio cooperativo da gestão democrática. Contudo, apesar da aparente harmonia dos resultados, a análise culturalista demonstrou que estes foram alcançados distintamente, revelando os vestígios jurídico-culturais próprios de cada movimento cooperativo. Com isso, acredita-se trazer uma importante reflexão para colaborar com a compreensão do Direito Cooperativo de cada país em sua autenticidade.

Abstract: With the advent of popularity of long form publishing of written media in the form of novels and graphics novels, there arises a need for a platform to incentivise authors to get constant, periodic feedback for their work, so that it is optimized for adaptations for mainstream media as well as a cult following in terms of content and character likability and relatability. Blockchain and its associated technologies have made transactions and tipping extremely easy, and with L2 chains like Polygon which have low transaction fees, combined with the immutability and security of smart contracts make for an excellent enabler for this industry. The following research paper seeks to use blockchain to create a publishing platform that enables an author to put out individual chapters and gain rapid feedback on it in the form of voting by the users on the next storyline, while readers make some money in return for their feedback.

Authors: Vásquez-Lozano Silvia Juliana , Diaz Alberto
Published: March 2023

There are many questions about the behavior of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in people living with human Immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV). It is not clear whether they have a higher risk of complications or higher mortality than the general population. The risk of infection of Severe acute respiratory sindrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV 2), risk of severe symptoms by COVID-19, and risk of mortality by COVID-19 of PLHIV were compared with people without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
EMBASE, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, LILACS and SCIELO were searched from January 2020 to March 2021. 22 cohort / case-control studies were chosen. Software Review Manager 5.4 was used for the meta-analysis. An increased risk of mortality (2.07) due to COVID-19 was identified among people with human immudeficiency virus (HIV) compared to people without HIV. HIV infection is a risk factor for COVID-19; it should be given special to patients with high viral load, low count CD4 and who are not currently receiving antiviral therapy (ART).
Trade, Economic and Political Relations between Soviet Russia and the Chinese Province of Xinjiang in 1921-1922
Authors: Shemetova Tamara A.
Published: March 2023

The author analyzes the features and results of trade, economic and political relations of the Chinese province of Xinjiang with Soviet Russia and the USSR in 1921-1922. The main sources for the preparation of the article were historical and archival materials on the trade and economic relations of Xinjiang with Russia and the Soviet Union (1896-1949) in Chinese, as well as documents from a number of Moscow archives (the Russian State Archive of Economics, the Russian State Military Archive, the Archive of Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation). The analysis showed that during the period under review the Soviet-Xinjiang trade, economic and political relations were rather ambiguous. This is evidenced by statistical data on the volume of trade for 1921 and 1922, which, despite the measures taken by Moscow, did not increase. In addition, it should be emphasized that the range and list of goods supplied by the parties changed significantly. The author comes to the conclusion that in 1921-1922 there did not take place the final restoration and development of all-round ties between the Soviet Union and the Chinese province of Xinjiang. It was the Soviet leadership that was the initiator of the bilateral rapprochement.

Published: March 2023

Computer-Based Mathematics Learning (CBML) has gone global in the last decade and is making a substantial impact for educational purposes. But the fact is that in the scientific literature, it is found that studies aimed at testing these theoretical assumptions have inconsistent results. In this regard, this meta-analysis was conducted to determine the effect of CBML and to analyze categorical variables to consider the implications. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database using Publish or Perish between 2010 and 2023. This study examined 29 independent samples from 28 eligible primary studies with 1179 subjects. The population estimate was based on a random effects model, and the CMA software was used as a calculation aid. The study's results provide an overall effect size of 1.03 (large effect). This indicates that applying CBML significantly affects students' mathematical abilities. The four categorical variables considered in the study are discussed to clarify research trends. Furthermore, the research implications are outlined and contribute to future CBML implementation arrangements.

protocols and select a single one that will generate both focal species
(Asiatic wild ass, Equus hemionus, in Israel) and diet DNA, as an
effective strategy to minimize time, efforts, and cost without hampering
efficiency. In Protocol A, we swabbed the outer surface of faecal
boluses and extracted DNA using a Stool Kit, while for Protocol B, we
homogenised faecal matter from inside the bolus followed by extraction
using a Powersoil Kit. Protocol A performed significantly better for
most of the measures, which included, for the focal species,
microsatellite amplification success and the quantity of the GAPDH gene;
and for its diet, amplification success of a chloroplast barcoding
marker, trnL, number of reads, and plant genus richness and diversity.
However, there was no significant difference for the amplification
success of a sex-linked marker and plant genus composition. Both
protocols yielded results for the focal species and its diet,
demonstrating that one single protocol can be used for both purposes;
although, a pilot study is recommended to optimise the protocol for
specific systems. This strategy may also be useful for studies combining
focal species and their gut microbiome and parasitic load.

Ecosystem management aims at providing many ecosystem services
simultaneously. Such ecosystem multifunctionality can be limited by
trade-offs and increased by synergies among the underlying ecosystem
functions (EF), which need to be understood to develop targeted
management. Previous studies found differences in the correlation
between EFs. We hypothesised that correlations between EFs are variable
even under the controlled conditions of a field experiment and that
seasonal and annual variation, plant species richness, and plot identity
(identity effects of plant communities such as the presence and absence
of functional groups and species) are drivers of these correlations. We
used data on 31 EFs related to plants, consumers, and physical soil
properties that were measured over 5 to 19 years, up to three times per
year, in a temperate grassland experiment with 80 different plots,
constituting six sown plant species richness levels (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 60
species). We found that correlations between pairs of EFs were variable,
and correlations between two particular EFs could range from weak to
strong correlations or from negative to positive correlations among the
repeated measurements. To determine the drivers of pairwise EF
correlations, the covariance between EFs was partitioned into
contributions from plant species richness, plot identity, and time
(including years and seasons). We found that most of the covariance for
synergies was explained by species richness (26.5%), whereas for
trade-offs, most covariance was explained by plot identity (29.5%).
Additionally, some EF pairs were more affected by differences among
years and seasons and therefore showed a higher temporal variation.
Therefore, correlations between two EFs from single measurements are
insufficient to draw conclusions on trade-offs and synergies.
Consequently, pairs of EFs need to be measured repeatedly under
different conditions to describe their relationships with more certainty
and be able to derive recommendations for the management of grasslands.

Purpose: This study evaluated the outcome of prognostic features
and survival results of the major and minor malignant salivary gland
carcinoma (MSGC) histopathologies. Materials and Methods: One
hundred-forty patients with major/minor MSGC were registered in
databases from 2004 to 2019. The median age of the patients was 57
(18-89). Major MSGC was diagnosed in 81 patients and mostly in the
parotid gland (49%). Minor MSGC was diagnosed in 59 patients and often
on the hard palate (19%). The most common histopathology is
mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC)(47%) in major MSGC and adenoid cystic
carcinoma (ACC) in minör MSGC (31%). Major MSGC was most diagnosed in
the early stages, while the minor MSGC was diagnosed in the advanced
stages. Results: Median follow-up is 73 months (5-197). The ten
year local control (LC) and the distant metastasis free survival (DMFS)
rates were 85% and 76%, respectively. The overall survival rate was
79% (10 years). The local control rates were statistically different in
the patients with R1-R2 diseases (p=0.039) and advanced T and N stages
(p=0.05, p=0.022, respectively). The presence of microscopic perineural
invasion (PNI) was not significant in local recurrence in patients with
ACC. Distant metastasis rates were statistically increased in patients
with advanced tumor and nodal stages (p=0.031, p=0.003, respectively),
R1-R2 disease (p=0.027), high grade (p=0.048), PNI (p=0.006).
Conclusions: Advanced tumor and nodal stage, high tumor grade,
and surgical margin status are strongly correlated with the worse
oncological outcomes. The prognostic significance of microscopic PNI has
not yet been clarified.
Bokrecension: Towards a Pedagogy of Higher Education. The Bologna Process, Didaktik and Teaching
Authors: Jons Lotta

"I boken Towards a Pedagogy of Higher Education. The Bologna Process, Didaktik and Teaching formulerar Gunnlaugur Magnússon och Johannes Rytzler en teori om undervisning i högre utbildning som vilar på utbildningsvetenskaplig grund. De vill med detta erbjuda ett alternativ till den, som de karaktäriserar det, hegemoniska och ideologiska diskurs som pådriven av Bolognaprocessens utbildningspolitik och -policy kommit att handla om  fördefinierade lärandemål, konstruktiv länkning mellan lärandeaktiviteter och lärandemål samt studentcentrering grundlagd i konstruktivistisk lärandeteori. Med hjälp av policyanalys, pedagogisk filosofi och didaktisk teori belyser Magnússon och Rytzler konsekvenserna av denna grundläggning och mejslar därefter fram ett teoretiskt bidrag som möjliggör en högskolepedagogisk disciplin grundad i utbildningsvetenskap."

Tropical Pyomyositis of Atypical Etiology: A Case Report
Authors: S Plaza
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Tropical pyomyositis is a bacterial infection of the skeletal muscle caused by Staphylococcus aureus in 90% of cases. The most predisposed patients are those who are immunocompromised. Case Report: A 58-year-old male patient with a history of malignant prostate cancer undergoing treatment with hormonal therapy and radiotherapy, went to the emergency room for presenting, 1 week prior to admission, fever of 39°C associated with pain of progressive appearance located in the supracondylar region of the right lower limb, radiating to the inguinal region, of moderate to strong intensity, of an oppressive nature, which limited the movement of the entire right lower limb. After multiple negative tests, an MRI of the abdomen, pelvis, and lower limbs reported myositis of infectious etiology. From there, the relevant antibiotic treatment was indicated, and an ultrasound-guided biopsy of the iliopsoas muscle was performed, which reported Streptococcus agalactiae resistant to ampicillin and penicillin as the responsible pathogen. The evolution of the patient was favorable. Conclusions: Tropical pyomyositis is a disease little known by the medical community, which makes early diagnosis difficult. Immunosuppression plays an important role in its pathogenesis, so a thorough investigation must be carried out to exclude multiple predisposing conditions.

Authors: Dharmadi Made Agus
Published: March 2023

Weight training for junior athletes is not recommended using heavy equipment at the fitness center. Junior athletes need weight training but use safe weights. This study analyzes the Junior Weight Vest (JWV) use on arm muscle strength in Junior Pencak Silat arts athletes. This type of research is descriptive quantitative, with an experimental design using a pre-test and post-test control group design. The sample of this study consisted of 20 randomly selected Junior Pencak Silat athletes with an age range of 10-15 years. The methods used in collecting data are observation, interviews, and instruments. The instrument used in collecting data is a questionnaire. Data analysis in this study used quantitative analysis using the Paired Sample T Test and Way ANOVA analysis. The study results show differences in the effect of those who use JWV on the arm muscle strength of Junior Pencak Silat athletes. Second, there is no difference in the effect of those who do not use JWV (Non-JWV) on the arm muscle strength of Junior Pencak Silat arts athletes. Third, there is a difference in the effect on the two groups. It was concluded that JWV in Pencak silat arts training had better results than those who did not use JWV (Non-JWV). The implications of this research are expected to be able to use JWV to improve other physical abilities such as speed, agility, power, and endurance.
