Introduction: As healthcare systems increasingly embrace population health management, the integration of health and social care to improve the health and well-being of individuals is crucial. Thus, we conducted a qualitative study in Singapore to understand health and social care professionals’ (HCPs and SCPs) perception of the roles they played in delivering community-based care.
Methods: A descriptive phenomenological research design was adopted. HCPs and SCPs (n = 53) providing services in community settings were recruited purposefully and interviewed through eleven focus group discussions. Each session was recorded and transcribed. Thematic analysis was applied.
Results: Our results revealed eight themes in three main categories describing the roles played by HCPs and SCPs, including: (1) delivering needs-based care in community settings; (2) activating and empowering clients in health care, and (3) fostering community-based sustainable support networks. Six barriers encountered while performing these roles were also identified.
Discussion and Conclusion: Our results highlight that the roles of HCPs and SCPs go beyond the provision of direct medical and social care. They were involved in activating and empowering clients to take care of their health, and importantly, fostering community-based sustainable support networks to better empower individuals in coping with health challenges. The identified barriers shed light on areas for potential improvements for integrated community care.

This case report describes the therapeutic management of a 23-year-old patient with encrusted double J stent in the bladder. A mini-cystotomy was performed to extract the encrusted lower end of the stent, followed by the placement of a new stent. Subsequently, flexible ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy was conducted to remove renal calculi. The postoperative outcomes were favorable, with pain regression and absence of residual stones. A multidisciplinary and individualized approach is crucial in the management of encrusted double J stents to optimize clinical outcomes and prevent long-term complication.
Group Actions on Product Systems
Authors: Deaconu Valentin , Huang Leonard
Published: October 2023

We introduce the concept of a crossed product of a product system by a locally compact group. We prove that the crossed product of a row-finite and faithful product system by an amenable group is also a row-finite and faithful product system. We generalize a theorem of Hao and Ng about the crossed product of the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of a $C^{\ast}$-correspondence by a group action to the context of product systems. We present examples related to group actions on $k$-graphs and to higher rank Doplicher-Roberts algebras.

BODY SHAMING THROUGH MEMES IN SOCIAL MEDIA: A STUDY ON FIVE FACEBOOK PAGES
Authors: Mumu Sadia Islam , Rashid Mamunor
Published: October 2023

The phenomenon of body shaming through memes on social media platforms, particularly on Facebook, has garnered attention due to its potential impact on individuals' self-esteem and body image. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and varieties of body shaming practiced via memes in Bangladesh, to explain the motivations behind body shaming via memes, and to identify the communities that are most affected by body shaming. It also seeks to determine the medium used for body shaming and the effect that trolling has on people's minds. This study used a mixed-method approach. Five Facebook pages were selected using the purposive sampling method and data was collected from 1st October 2021 to 30th September 2022 from those pages. In the quantitative part content analysis technique was applied to collect data, basically text, images, and videos. In the qualitative part, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and Key Informant Interview (KII) have been used to gather in-depth insights, perspectives, and opinions from participants. Twelve students from two groups representing various universities took part in the FGD and 5 experts attended KII from various fields (Law, Social Media expert, Psychologist, and Human Rights worker). The results indicate that, if anything does not fit their viewpoint, people on Facebook can be observed talking critically about it. On Facebook, users not only criticize others but even themselves. In the Bangladeshi environment, more comments about size, height, masculinity, and skin tone were seen. Not just girls, but also boys and transgender people have been shown to be the targets of body-shaming memes. Whereas girls were thought to be the primary victims, most of the viral content featured boys or men as opposed to girls. To get money, many individuals make memes. The most significant cause of body shaming on social media is ignorance about online etiquette. People who experience body shaming often begin to detest themselves. People circulate body-shaming-related memes to appear cool in the eyes of others, and to elicit more likes, comments, or shares on social media.

Published: October 2023

YouTube is a medium for two-way communication, where a variety of videos are shared on social media every day. Viewers are making various videos viral by sharing on social media and those videos are also becoming the focus of discussion at the national and international levels. In this study, the comments on YouTube have been investigated to understand the viewer’s opinion, ideology and their thinking. Active audience theory has been used as the theoretical framework of the study. The study has been conducted by the discourse analysis method. As a sample of the qualitative research, a viral video is selected by purposive sampling from YouTube and all comments (N=365) of the viewers have been analyzed from the YouTube comment box. The results of the study show that viewers have responded extensively to the viral video and the issues. Some comments are very informative which create a huge meaning for thinking and learning and show many unknown and hidden issues which are not directly available in the video. In the comment box, viewers post some data visual evidence to prove their argument and sometimes share an information source. Most of the comments are in Bangla, but there are also comments in English sentences using English words. There are memes, photos, data visual, screenshots, other video links, and Emoji which shows emotion like anger, and sarcasm in the comments. The average word count of the comment is one to three words. But the word count of the meaningful comment is 10-20 words. Viewers provide comments on the entire video, focus on specific parts and related issues, or sometimes even comment on irrelevant matters using slang and meaningless words; considering those issues, commenters are divided into three categories. Below the video, the light and deep natures of comments have been found in the comment box. It is essential to understand the natures of comments and viewers in order to prevent disinformation and misinformation. Recently, social media has witnessed an increase in rumors, hatred, and bullying through comments, and such comments should be minimized to promote a decent and more positive society.

Published: October 2023

Subject selection is a critical decision for undergraduate students as it has a significant impact on their personal development and future careers. A mixed method approach was used to investigate the decision-making process and the factors that influence subject selection of undergraduate students at Khulna University. Quantitative data were collected from 300 participants using an online survey questionnaire, and qualitative data was gathered from four focus group discussions. The study found that in selecting academic subjects, students typically go through nine steps: identifying desire subjects; anxiety about desired subjects; seeking information from sources; assessing the influence of sources; comparing and depending on sources; understanding own motivations; comparison between subjects; making a decision; and conducting post-decision evaluations. The quantitative results show that family members and teachers were the most influential factors in choosing academic subjects. Additionally, students mentioned that they relied on a variety of human and electronic sources to gather information during their decision-making process. They relied on human sources like senior students and friends for better understanding regarding future career of a subject. They also used electronic sources like Google search, social media, and university websites in enhancing their information-gathering process. The qualitative findings suggest that in the process of selecting major students often experience mental stress due to a lack of information about desired subjects, challenges in getting preferred subject, and the pressure from families to take their preferred subject. The study offers a systematic understanding of the factors and decision-makers that shape the subject selection process of undergraduate students.

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) treatment with New-Generation Drug-Eluting Stent (DES) implantation for Stent Edge Restenosis (SER). The study was conducted at LRH Peshawar from 11-02-2022 to 11-02-2023 and included 130 patients with stent edge restenosis. Ethical approval was obtained from the hospital's ethical committee, and informed consent was taken from all patients. Patients were divided into two groups, Group A (DES) and Group B (DCB), and their clinical outcomes were analyzed using propensity score matching (PSM). The study showed that DCB therapy reduced the risk of target lesion revascularization (TLR) compared to DES during a median follow-up period of 1080 days. After conducting PSM, there was no significant difference in the risk of TLR between the two groups. Moreover, there were no significant differences in the risk of all-cause death, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), or TLR between Group A and Group B. In conclusion, DCB treatment for SER was found to be equally as effective as new-generation DES following PSM. Therefore, DCB can be considered a viable alternative to the new-generation DES for treating SER.

Published: October 2023

Smoking has a negative effect on fertilization as it decreases sperm quality. The current research aimed to investigate the effect of fermented red bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) extract on sperm motility, viability, and plasma membrane integrity of white mice (Mus musculus) exposed to cigarette smoke. The red beans were subjected to a 36-hour fermentation process using Rhizopus spp. Then, methanol was extracted by maceration method for 24 hours until maceration was obtained. In this study, 25 male white mice aged 3 months were randomly divided into 5 groups of 5 mice. Group C (negative control) was given 0.5 mL of carboxymethyl cellulose natrium (CMC Na) 1% solution orally without unfiltered cigarette smoke exposure, and group C+ (positive control) was given 0.5 mL of CMC Na 1% solution orally and unfiltered cigarette smoke exposure. Treatment groups T1, T2, and T3 were orally given fermented red bean extract at doses of 26 mg/kg Body weight (BW), 52 mg/kg BW, and 104 mg/kg BW, respectively, and then were exposed to unfiltered cigarette smoke. For 36 days, treatment groups (except the negative control) were subjected to the inhalation of smoke from an unfiltered cigarette containing a nicotine dose of 2.2 mg. The exposure period lasted for 20 minutes each day. Each group was put into a cigarette smoke-exposing box. The sperm motility (observing the forward movement of spermatozoa), the sperm viability (examining the color of the sperm head), and the sperm plasma membrane integrity (observing the tail shape using the hypoosmotic swelling test) were then evaluated. The findings indicated significant differences in sperm motility, viability, and plasma membrane integrity of each group with positive control. A dose of 104 mg/kg BW of fermented red bean extract had the best potential to maintain sperm motility (70%), viability (82.13%), and plasma membrane integrity (61.93%) of mice exposed to unfiltered cigarette smoke.

Published: October 2023

Fasciola is a species of the trematode genus that can cause devastating parasitic disease, namely fasciolosis. Fasciola spp. infestation can affect ruminants, such as cows, buffaloes, goats, and sheep, resulting in economic losses to livestock owners. Ruminants are the definitive host for the Fasiola species. This cross-sectional research was conducted on Eid al-Adha/Qurban in July 2022 to determine the prevalence of fasciolosis in sacrificial cattle in Fifty Cities District, West Sumatra, Indonesia. A total of 106 samples of sacrificial cattle liver from the abattoir were investigated. Examination of the liver for the presence of Fasciola spp. was carried out by postmortem examination by removing the liver from the abdominal cavity immediately after slaughter. The livers of all sacrificial cattle were examined by systematic inspection, palpation, and incision for Fasciola spp. infestation. Necropsy results of samples indicated the prevalence of Fasciola spp. (36.79%), which was higher in female animals, compared to males. Based on age, the highest prevalence was at the age of > 4 years, (52.95%), followed by 2 years (39.62%) and 3 years (25.00%). Regarding the cattle breed, the highest prevalences were indicated in Pesisir cattle (47.61%), Simmental cattle (44.44%), Bali cattle (37.28%), Ongole cattle (20%), and Limousine cattle (14.28%). This study revealed that fasciolosis in sacrificial animals in Fifty Cities, West Sumatra, was influenced by gender. Therefore, the findings of this study suggest improving treatment protocol for the prevention of fasciolosis in sacrificial animals.

Published: October 2023

O presente artigo procura delimitar os novos parâmetros políticos pós pandemia no Brasil que vem sendo adotados para concretizar o direito à segurança pública no seio das relações intrafamiliares. A importância desta análise cinge-se no acompanhamento das medidas alternativas adotadas frente ao crescente número de casos de violência física, emocional e psíquica dentro das residências brasileiras. Com o advento da pandemia e da implementação do isolamento social o número de crimes patrimoniais tem diminuído e em contrapartida os números de agressões dentro das famílias tem aumentado. Este cenário se reflete diretamente na necessidade de se adotar novas medidas alternativas capazes de concretizar o direito fundamental da segurança pública e suprimir as limitações impostas ao Estado, bem como ressignificar a ideia de coparticipação da sociedade na proteção pública. O artigo analisará as políticas de segurança pública de proteção às vítimas em isolamento social em três Estados da federação: Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo e Minas Gerais. A metodologia adotada é a análise de bibliografias, artigos e da produção legislativa.

Contudo, o tema suscita discussões acadêmicas e também no Judiciário, na medida em que a utilização indiscriminada dessa excepcionalidade para o desempenho de atividades que não apresentam complexidades incomuns pode ensejar a imputação dos contratantes em ato de improbidade administrativa, porque a contratação não se reveste da singularidade exigida pela Lei de Licitações. Para o desenvolvimento do artigo, empregada metodologia centralizada na pesquisa bibliográfica e no procedimento analítico, desenvolvendo-se a partir da abordagem crítica das obras e documentos consultados, a fim de se obter uma análise fundamentada acerca do tema em estudo. Conclui-se que a contratação direta de advogado ou escritório de advocacia por ente público, por meio de inexigibilidade de licitação, em si, não constitui ato ímprobo.

German in East Lorraine? Reflections on the status of the autochthonous varieties in Northeast France based on the character of near-standard speech
Authors: Beyer Rahel
Published: October 2023

Sometimes a change of a language border is linked to a change in language status of a group of diatopic varieties. The assessment of language status relates, among other things, to the existence of a common norm (standard variety) and the language community members’ adherence to it. For the germanophone varieties in East Lorraine (France), the status is unclear. Structurally, these varieties belong to the West Middle German dialect continuum. However, since the Second World War, the political and identificatory relations to the German language have been difficult. This article examines whether dialect proficient speakers from East Lorraine can (still) speak Standard German and, if so, how it can be characterised. The study is based on recorded interviews. Interviewees were asked to speak (Standard) German. The analysis of the speech data reveals demerging from the German language. Although being competent in the local dialect, only a minority belonging to the older generation can speak a variety that can be considered endoglossic and near-standard. One third speaks clearly regionally bound varieties, approximately 50% speak German just like a language learner (on various levels of proficiency). Interpreted within the framework of macrosynchronisation (Schmidt & Herrgen 2011), the classification of East Lorraine as belonging to the German-speaking area appears even more uncertain as the Lorrain people no longer align themselves with the common norm of the German-speaking area.
Understanding Shoulder and Elbow Injuries in the Windmill Softball Pitcher
Authors: Boden Stephanie A. , Arner Justin W. , Bradley James P.
Published: October 2023

Although pitching-related injuries in the overhead athlete have been studied extensively, injuries associated with windmill pitching are not as clearly elucidated. Windmill pitching produces high forces and torques in the upper extremity, and studies have shown it creates similar shoulder and elbow joint loads to those reported in baseball pitchers. Studies have shown that the windmill pitching motion generates high levels of biceps activation with an eccentric load, placing the biceps at increased risk for overuse injuries. Although the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine published prevention guidelines including recommendations for maximum pitch counts in softball, these recommendations have not been adopted by most United States softball governing bodies. The repetitive windmill motion in conjunction with high pitch count demands in competitive softball creates notable challenges for the sports medicine physician. As with overhead throwing athletes, identifying and preventing overuse is crucial in preventing injuries in the windmill pitcher, and prevention and rehabilitation should focus on optimizing mechanics and kinematics, core, hip, and lower body strength, and recognition of muscle fatigue. With more than two million fastpitch softball participants in the United States, it is essential to better understand the etiology, evaluation, and prevention of injuries in the windmill pitching athlete.

Gobiernos divididos y gobernabilidad democrática. El caso brasileño
Authors: Ibáñez Candelaria Jorge Alberto
Published: October 2023

Este artículo tiene como propósito señalar que la existencia de gobiernos divididos no es sinónimo de paralisis gubernaental. Por el contrario, ayuda a mantener los frenos y contrapesos propios de un gobierno democrático. El caso brasileño es un buen ejemplo, ya que la existencia de un sistema de partidos fragmentado, la cultura cívica participativa, la opinión pública, el número efectivo de partidos políticos con representación en el congreso y el entramado institucional son factores que permiten la adopción de mejores políticas públicas. Asimismo, la existencia de gobiernos divididos evita el cambio errático en las políticas de gobierno, debido a que es necesaria la negociación entre las fuerzas políticas modificar el status quo.

Elecciones en el nuevo régimen. La contienda federal del 2003 en México
Authors: Valdés Vega María Eugenia
Published: October 2023

Más allá de la discusión sobre el final del proceso de transición hacia la democracia en México, es un hecho que han sido muy interesantes los procesos electorales transcurridos desde que el Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) perdió la presidencia de la República en julio del año 2000. Para los analistas e investigadores, pero también para la clase política en su conjunto, ha sido muy novedoso estudiar los nuevos patrones de comportamiento de los partidos (sus dirigentes, candidatos y militantes), y de los ciudadanos, una vez librados del binomio formado por la presidencia de la República y el PRI, las dos instituciones básicas del viejo régimen político. Con el fin de este binomio, se abrió una etapa inédita en la vida política mexicana.

Guanajuato 2006: las elecciones de la nueva hegemonía
Authors: Rionda Luis Miguel
Published: October 2023

El 2 de julio de 2006 pasado, además de las elecciones federales, en algunas entidades del país se verificaron elecciones locales. Fue el caso de Guanajuato, en donde se experimentó localmente una situación contrastante: una elección presidencial altamente competitiva en el nivel nacional, que impuso sus ritmos, su agenda y sus pasiones a un entorno estatal caracterizado por la disminución de la competitividad, con el predominio de una opción partidista que se ha convertido en dominante. Esta confluencia impuso un nivel de tensión sobre la estructura política y social de las regiones del estado, que en momentos hizo temer el desbordamiento de las pasiones.
Multiculturalismo, agenda pública y campañas electorales: el caso de la elección presidenciales en México en 2006
Authors: Román Burgos Denisse , Manuel Reynoso Víctor
Published: October 2023

El fin siglo XX vivió un importante resurgimiento de la cuestión multicultural. México, con una considerable y minusvaloradora diversidad multicultural, participó a su manera de este reconicimiento. La finalidad de la rebelión chiapaneca de 1994 fue reconocer la diversidad multicultural del país. Lejos de sus efectos mediáticos, el tema fue perdiendo interés dejando importantes cuestiones: ¿De qué manera cambió la realidad multicultural del país? ¿Cambiaron las leyes? ¿Se modificó de alguna manera la presencia social, política o económica de las minorpias culturales en el país? Este artículo trata de responder a estas preguntas, centrándose en uno de los procesos políticos más relevantes de los últimos años, la elección presidencial del año 2006.

Authors: Alarcón Olguín Victor
Published: October 2023

El libro que aquí se comenta es un valioso ejercicio que cabe resaltar en dos niveles de analisis. Uno por el enfoque metodológico definido por la autora y con el cual hace una contextualización del proceso y permanencia de la organización partidaria, en tanto expresión viva de la historia social que le da fundamento y orientación. Al mismo tiempo, se nos presenta un campo de reflexión de orden general que la autora arma, con el objetivo de identificar cuáles son los elementos constitutivos de la llamada "derecha social mexicana".
Las preferencias partidistas y la importancia de las campañas en las elecciones mexicanas del 2006
Authors: Castañeda Gonzalo , Ibarra Ignacio
Published: October 2023

En este artículo se presentan los resultados de la estimación de tres modelos logit de tipo multinominal (uno para cada candidato) que validan el efecto que tiene una campaña electoral sobre los cambios observados en las preferencias partidistas. Con estos modelos se describen las modificaciones en las intenciones de voto declaradas en dos levantamientos de una encuesta panel sobre las elecciones presidenciales de México en el 2006. El análisis econométrico avala la hipótesis de que la influencia local (redes de discusión política) y la influencia global (audiencia televisiva, debates, campañas negativas) ejercieron un impacto significativo sobre las preferencias de los votantes.
Política fiscal federal en Puerto Rico: Modelo correlacional de consecuencias electorales 1952-2008
Authors: Blanco Peck Richard
Published: October 2023

Revisión de los datos del estudio Política Fiscal Federal en Puerto Rico: Modelo Correlacional de Consecuencias Electorales de 1978 y su primera actualización en el 2006. Con dicha correlación buscamos probar que el aumento de fondos federales en el presupuesto está directamente relacionado con el intercambio de votos a favor de los ideales que favorecen la anexión a los Estados Unidos. La metodología utilizada en este estudio es un análisis de 15 años electorales, que consiste de una correlación entre el por ciento de fondos electorales destinados al Estado Libre y Asociado de Puerto Rico por cada año electoral desde 1952 al 2008, y el por ciento de votos obtenidos por los ideales político-partidista, los tres de forma individual, utilizando el Coeficiente de Correlación Pearson. También, se utilizó una prueba Z para comparar y observar cambios entre los resultados de este estudio con los otros realizados en 1978 y 2006. El argumento teórico del artículo está fundamentado en que la política de proveer fondos provenientes de los Estados Unidos tiene un impacto directo sobre la tendencia electoral en Puerto Rico.
