Background: There is increasing awareness that we must engage with decolonising physiotherapy curricula to respect plurality of knowledge and become more consistent with global priorities towards humanising healthcare. Aim: By reflecting on our discomfort and vulnerabilities, we strove to understand and engage in decolonising the physiotherapy curriculum. Through this we hope to motivate others and contribute to this important transformation. Conclusions: Using Mezirow’s transformative learning theory, we reflected on our struggle with our disorienting dilemmas regarding the need to engage in decolonising the physiotherapy curriculum. We have become alert to insecurities about our knowledge and ability to engage sensitively in the necessary conversations. As we progress towards ‘full’ transformation, we have concluded that we must take action to generate change while continuing to learn and reflect. Implications for practice: Decolonising curricula is necessary to humanise healthcare, with more value accorded to the plurality of knowledge and global experiences The journey towards decolonising is destabilising and relies on humility in moving from ‘being the expert’ to accepting a return to novice status Creating brave spaces where we trust one another’s motivations, forgive ourselves and others as we fumble with the conversations, and are compassionate about the discomfort can facilitate these transformations
Book Review: Towards the Compassionate University: From Golden Thread to Global Impact
Authors:   Women’s and Children’s Health Network, North Adelaide, Australia, Dyer Susan
Published: November 2022

I have had the privilege of reading Margreet van der Cingel’s 2022 book, Compassion, the Core Value in Person-centred Care, which is the result of a programme of research including a PhD and two empirical masters studies. The doctorate focused on three things: a theoretical and philosophical exploration of compassion; a study of compassion in the history of nursing; and a study of contemporary daily nursing practices. The empirical masters studies explored the role of compassion in the development of the professional nursing identity, and the strategies of novice nurses for developing and sustaining compassion (van der Cingel, 2022, p 4).
Case study of bioethics: a case of improper treatment of bladder exstrophy

Background: The principles of bioethics proposed by Beechamp and Childress are difficult to apply to the specific ethical dilemmas that arise in clinical practice. The scientific literature has suggested other ways of analyzing them. Methods: We use the Moscop's case study method to analyze a case of inappropriate treatment of bladder exstrophy, a rare con-genital condition associated with a high chance of medical error during treatment. Results: The analysis of the present case of a medical mistake considers ethical aspects such as the doctor-patient relationship, the reaction of physician-colleagues and the patient to the medical mistake, and the disclosure of the medical mistake. As a result of the bioethical analysis of the case, the following recommendations have been formed: 1) Despite the objective difficulties of treatment in a low-profile regional center and bureaucratic mechanisms of referral of the patient to another institution, the doctor should respect the autonomy of the patient and his relatives, for which full information about possible risks and treatment alternatives should be provided; 2) Disclosure of the true causes of medical error and apology can help to build trusting relationships with the patient and reduce subse-quent conflicts. Short-term psychological discomfort of disclosure will be compensated by long-term positive results of interaction with patients; 3) Criticism of previous treatment should take into account possible difficulties of diagnostics at regional level and lack of experience in treatment of rare pathologies. Achieving an advantage over one's colleagues through pointing out their medical error without knowing the real reasons for the prior treatment is ethically unjustified. Conclusion: An important function of disclosing medical errors is to warn colleagues against such errors. Most authors are of the opinion that it is the professional duty of a doctor who witnesses an adverse event to assist in the disclosure of an error and help in minimizing its consequences, however, in a medical environment with strong corporate ties and cultivating a spirit of solidarity, this principle has not become widespread in practice.

Authors:   Volgograd State Medical University, Alshuk Natalya A. , Al-Atoum Husam ,   University of Petra
Published: November 2022

Background: The pandemic of the new coronavirus COVID-19 has affected all aspects of modern society. The higher medical education is no exception here. The borders closure by many countries has created a situation where the education in another country became possible only in a virtual format. The way the quality of education was affected will become clear later. But the effectiveness of work in this area mainly depends on the acceptance or rejection of the new forms of education by students. A study conducted by the International Relations Office of Volgograd State Medical University in February-April 2021 was dedicated to the study of this issue. Aim: Тo determine the projections the application of a blended format of teaching to medical students in the post-Covid period in order to optimize the development of educational programs and improve international cooperation in this area. Methods: The field of study included a questionnaire developed in Google forms. The Processing of questionnaires is automated. Editing and coding of information, statistical analysis, comparative analysis, combinatorial analysis using the SPSS program have been carried out. The study was conducted at medical universities in 8 countries in different regions of the world. The article discusses research results in Russia. General population – 1835 international students for March, 1, 2021. N = 320. Confidence – 97 %. Research hypothesis: The transition to online education during a pandemic allows students continue medical education with minimum interruption. In general, they adapt well in the digital environment, however, they consider its disadvantages as: the lack of direct guidance from teachers in the development of practical skills and the absence of personal contacts. In the future, the online train-ing format can be considered as supplementary, but not the main one in the process of training of doctors. Results: Practical recommendations have been developed for the development of international relations in higher medical educa-tion using blended teaching methods, both in regular and in emergency situations. Conclusion: Comparing these data, we can conclude that studying in a foreign medical university is assessed by students higher than education in their own country, they value the acquired knowledge more and choose those forms of training that are most advantageous for their professional development.

Background: The activity of a doctor, among other things, includes the need to communicate with the patient, so the presence of communication skills is a mandatory feature of this profession. The object of the study is informed voluntary consent from the point of view of the main component of the communicative act. Aim: Тo analyze the linguistic and ethical features of this document. Methods: Linguistic. Results: Тhe lexical and grammatical composition of the title of the document includes the distribution of communicative roles: the doctor is an active communicator, the patient is a passive one; The semantic analysis of the text gives grounds to assert that this document in most cases cannot be independently understood by the patient, the participation of the doctor is necessary as part of the explanation of the content of the consent. Conclusion: The conducted analysis gives grounds to assert that if the work with informed voluntary consent is not carried out correctly, communicative problems may arise and, as a result, communicative failures.

The article presents the results of a study of personal and emotional states of teachers of the Ryazan State Medical University named after Academician I.P. Pavlov, working with students with mental disabilities. As practice shows, training is associated with a number of problems associated with psychological barriers, both among students with disabilities or disabilities themselves, and psychological and pedagogical ones among university teachers who do not have special training for working in inclusive groups. To identify and analyze these problems in the educational process, as well as the emotional state of teachers, a survey and testing of the teaching staff of the university was conducted. Teachers believe that students with mental disabilities need special teaching aids and methodological developments, video materials and other technical means. It is also important to provide additional psychological and pedagogical training for teachers on the organization of the educational process with persons with disabilities or disabilities in order to adapt and improve the quality of educational work.

COVID-19: An alternative approach to postgraduate supervision in the digital age
Authors: Hendrickse R.
Published: November 2022

Universities globally are facing enormous governmental pressure to increase postgraduate output, and in turn, contribute to the knowledge economy. This pressure is transferred to research supervisors, who have to navigate the complexities of research supervision to not only meet postgraduate output targets set by the university in particular, but postgraduate output targets set by government in general. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, research supervision mostly followed the traditional apprenticeship or group model approach to supervision, where engagement took the form of face-to-face interactions. With the COVID-19 pandemic came social distancing, which forced research supervision to move to online platforms. The core objective of this article was to peruse selected research supervision models or approaches to determine which model or approach would be most suited to an online supervision context, if any. This article advances a re-imagined view of research supervision in higher education. The author proposes an argument for an alternative approach to research supervision, most appropriate to the online supervision environment. The ontological stance, from the perspective of constructivism, underpinned the interrogation of selected research supervision models or approaches with the view to engender a different understanding of what the core components of a research supervision framework could be in the context of COVID-19, with due regard to the “pedagogy of supervision”. This article will be of value to emerging South African research supervisors and scholars in the higher education realm. Keywords: research supervisors, research supervision models, online supervision, COVID-19, pedagogy of supervision
Implementing remote teaching in response to the COVID-19 crisis: Enabling factors and challenges experienced by three Ghanaian teacher educators
Authors: Ngcobo A. Z. , Enu J. , Nkum D. K.
Published: November 2022

The emergence of COVID-19 across the globe has redefined education and technology. The purpose of this article is to report on teacher educators’ conception and experiences of remote teaching. Understanding teacher educators’ conception is significant because one’s conception does influence one’s practices. In addition, understanding the enabling factors and challenges encountered would be of benefit in designing sustainable instructional practices to enhance the quality of online teaching and learning. Data presented here was generated from three Ghanaian teacher educators through semi-structured interviews. While the sample is small the findings are crucial for the enhancement of the current higher education policy practices. Based on the findings it could be argued that teacher educators’ conception of remote teaching as a temporary substitute for traditional face-to-face teaching suggest that they do not view it as something that could be sustained for a longer period. While they consider this form of teaching to be a temporary substitute they all agree that it has some advantages. For example, teaching using online platforms is not restricted by venue constraints thus teaching large classes is more possible and assist with recovering lost time since the teaching mode of teaching can be synchronous and asynchronous. While managing larger classes and recovering lost time was considered a major advantage of remote teaching, teacher educators alluded to the fact that being trained to use the online tools does not equip them with pedagogies to teach. Thus, there is a need to enhance policies to ensure that teacher educators are well equipped with the online pedagogies to ensure that quality teaching is not compromised. In addition, the system factors (e.g., the high cost of data and unstable Internet connectivity) are considered barriers to the effective implementation of remote teaching. The findings of this study have implications for the sustainability of remote teaching not only in underdeveloped countries but globally because the ill-preparedness of teacher educators with the pedagogies of remote teaching means that the quality of education offered to students might not be of an acceptable standard. In addition, the system factors do not only hinder teaching but also add to the burden already experienced with losing teaching and learning time. The insight from this article can help advance the debates about the sustainability of remote teaching. Keywords: emergency remote teaching, enabling factors, challenges, teacher education, COVID-19

Nationalism and Spiritualism of Javanese Tarekat: Study of Tarekat Rinjani in Banyumas Central Java
Authors: Mawardi Kholid
Published: November 2022

Tarekat or tarīqah is the Muslim spiritual path toward direct knowledge (maʿrifah) or ultimate truth (ḥaqq) of God. This paper aims to describe the Sufism school teaching of Tarekat Rinjani in Besuki Village, Banyumas Regency. This research is also to reveal laku batiniyah and lahiriyah (spiritual and physical practices) of Tarekat Rinjani. Cultural anthropology research was conducted to achieve the objectives through participatory observation and in-depth interviews for collecting the data. Tarekat Rinjani is one of the local Javanese tarekat that existed within Javanese communities. In this tarekat, the members must carry out Laku Kendalisada ritual consisting of two parts; spiritual and physical practices, to reach the love of God. Spiritual practices were done by managing hearts, minds, and reciting wirid, while physical practices were done by loving the Republic of Indonesia, helping others regardless of religion, groups, and ethnics, and making spiritual journeys to places called as wingit. In conclusion, Tarekat Rinjani is classified as a ghairu mu’tabarah, which is not a well-recognized Sufi order based on Sharia and included in the creed of Sunni Islam, since it is typical of Banyumas Sufi-syncretic tarekat with non-mutashil sanad that is not directly connected to the Prophet Muhammad.

Cash Waqf-Linked Sukuk (CWLS) is Indonesia’s new social and financial engineering product integrating cash waqf with Sukuk investment. Considering the low performance of the CWLS fundraising, this study aims to identify and evaluate the most critical factors contributing to the slowdown fundraising process. The study provides an expert-based alternative strategy to stakeholders to make this instrument could be better in the future. Mixed method analysis was used and based on SWOT analysis compounding an expert-based interview and questionnaire survey as data collecting method in this research. The authors elaborate on the fundraising evaluation and alternative strategies for the Internal Factor Analysis Strategy (IFAS) and External Factors Analysis Strategy factors (EFAS). The results show that the IFAS and EFAS values suggested a progressive Strength and Opportunity (S-O) strategy as the priority strategy that needs to be implemented. The (S-O) plans offered the digitization of the CWLS’s fundraising process to attract intention and facilitate access for investors/waqif from the internet user sector. Thus, the stakeholders should utilize retail collection to reach more investors.

Published: November 2022

During the Early Jurassic, reefs in the shallow seas of the Atlas Rift experienced substantial changes as they recovered from the end-Triassic mass extinction. Excellent Lower Jurassic reef deposits documenting this change occur in the Central High Atlas region of Morocco, and herein we describe Owl Olistolith, a micro-olistolith found in lower Pliensbachian-aged (∼ 188.7 million years ago) Moroccan strata. The olistolith records the composition of a reef that grew within the Atlas rift zone and represents a snapshot of reef recovery ∼ 10 million years after the end-Triassic mass extinction. Owl Olistolith is derived from a reef that was originally situated on an outer platform within fair weather wave base; it broke loose and was transported to deeper water and deposited amongst marls. Corals and microbialites formed the primary framework of the reef; microproblematica, foraminifera, and other minor components were also present. The reef can be divided into two dominant facies: a microbialite facies that contains no corals (54%–94% microbialites), and a coral-microbialite facies with substantial proportions of both microbialite (23%–50%) and corals (14%–72%). The micro-olistolith contains at least 15 distinct coral types. In this study, seven coral genera were identified, three of which represent taxa that span the Triassic/Jurassic boundary, including Coryphyllia, Stylophyllopsis, and Margarosmilia. These results indicate that, although surviving taxa played a significant role, newly evolved corals were the most important taxa in the reestablishment of reef ecosystems in the Early Jurassic of Morocco.

Background
Data discovery, the ability to find datasets relevant to an analysis, increases scientific opportunity, improves rigour and accelerates activity. Rapid growth in the depth, breadth, quantity and availability of data provides unprecedented opportunities and challenges for data discovery. A potential tool for increasing the efficiency of data discovery, particularly across multiple datasets is data harmonisation.
Methods
A set of 124 variables, identified as being of broad interest to neurodegeneration, were harmonised using the C-Surv data model. Harmonisation strategies used were simple calibration, algorithmic transformation and standardisation to the Z-distribution. Widely used data conventions, optimised for inclusiveness rather than aetiological precision, were used as harmonisation rules. The harmonisation scheme was applied to data from four diverse population cohorts.
Results
Of the 120 variables that were found in the datasets, correspondence between the harmonised data schema and cohort-specific data models was complete or close for 111 (93%). For the remainder, harmonisation was possible with a marginal a loss of granularity.
Conclusions
Although harmonisation is not an exact science, sufficient comparability across datasets was achieved to enable data discovery with relatively little loss of informativeness. This provides a basis for further work extending harmonisation to a larger variable list, applying the harmonisation to further datasets, and incentivising the development of data discovery tools.
Quality of medicines in Sri Lanka: A retrospective review of safety alerts
Authors: Janani Tharmalinga Sharma Jegath , Ketharam Madumai , Herath Kaumada Binoli , Shobia Senathiraja Sherley
Published: November 2022

Background
Quality of medicines is necessary to ensure patient safety. Quality failures of medicines could result in patient harm. Many medicine quality problems are detected after they arrive at health facilities. Thus, medicine withholds, and recalls are conducted for critically defective medicines that pose health risks to patients.
Aims
To investigate the withheld and recalled medicines in relation to the types of defects, their frequencies, therapeutic categories, pharmaceutical dosage forms, and country of manufacturer.
Methods
A retrospective review was done on withheld and recalled medicines published on the publicly available National Medicines Regulatory Authority (NMRA) official website, Sri Lanka between June 2018 and January 2022. Two categories of defective medicine alerts were identified: falsified medicines (FM) and substandard medicines (SM), out of which SM were extracted and included as none of the FM was reported in Sri Lanka. Each record of SM was individually reviewed to determine the type of defect, therapeutic category, pharmaceutical dosage form, manufacturer with respect to his country and respective frequencies.
Results
Among 163 total defects reported, the most common types of defects were contamination (N = 59, 36.2%), stability defects (N = 41, 25.2%), packaging and labelling defects (N = 27, 16.6%) and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) defects (N = 26, 15.9%). Out of 143 total defective medicines identified, anti-infectives (for systemic use) accounted for 42.2%, while parenteral preparations (N = 63, 44.0%) were found to be frequently defective. Nearly 70% of the recalled and withheld medicines were of Indian origin and seven manufacturers were identified as repeatedly involved with medicine withholds and recalls.
Conclusions
Substandard medicines are a problem in Sri Lanka and have resulted in an increasing number of withheld and recalled medicines. This study revealed that contaminations were the most frequent cause of defective medicines while parenteral preparations and anti-infectives were the most susceptible pharmaceutical dosage form as well as therapeutic category to be substandard. In addition, some manufacturers were accountable for repetitive withholds and recalls. Therefore, this review highlights the need of investigating the underlying causes and preventive measures to be implemented by manufacturers and regulatory authorities to avoid similar episodes in future.

Research question

This study investigates the difference in reproductive outcomes with the late addition of vaginal oestradiol to oral oestradiol in artificially cycled frozen embryo transfer (AC-FET) cycles.

Design

This retrospective cohort study was conducted at a university-affiliated tertiary care hospital. We divided 806 infertility patients who underwent programmed pre-FET endometrial preparation from January 2018 to July 2021 into two independent groups: Group A (591 with oral estradiol valerate only) and group B (215 with late oral estradiol valerate plus vaginal 17 β-estradiol). The primary outcome was the live birth rate (LBR), and the secondary outcome was other pregnancy-related outcomes. Propensity score matching (PSM) and multivariate logistic regression were applied to analyze all pregnancy outcomes, with a subgroup analysis based on vaginal oestradiol dose for group B. A subanalysis of cycles with endometrial thickness < 8 mm on the day prior to progesterone was also performed to assess the effect of adding vaginal oestradiol late in the thin endometrial transplantation cycle on reproductive outcomes.

Results

Before and after PSM analysis, the live birth rates in group A were 41.1% and 42.2%, significantly higher than 31.2% and 30.8% in group B (P = 0.015), respectively. Multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrates that group B was less likely to have a live birth than group A (OR 0.643, 95% Cl 0.453–0.913, P = 0.014). Subgroup analysis of group B according to vaginal oestradiol dose demonstrated an insignificant difference in live birth rates between the subgroups (42.6% vs. 26.8% vs. 34.6%, P = 0.118). In thin endometrial transplant cycles with an endometrial thickness < 8 mm on the day prior to progesterone, live birth rates were similar in both groups (36.9% vs. 26.8%, P = 0.234).

Conclusion

The addition of vaginal oestradiol as part of an artificial endometrial preparation (AEP) at a late stage of oral oestradiol significantly reduced LBR in autologous frozen-thawed embryo transfer, is independent of the dose of vaginal oestradiol, and does not improve the reproductive outcome in thin endometrial transfer cycles. However, more well-designed randomized clinical trials merit further investigation to confirm this conclusion.
Novel constructed dark, bright, and rogue waves of three models of the well-known nonlinear Schrödinger equation
Authors: Khater Mostafa M. A.
Published: November 2022

In this study, three models of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation are investigated to see whether there is any novel traveling wave solutions’ structures. “The generalized Korteweg-de Vries, (2+1) dimensional Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur, and the Maccari models ”are among the systems examined. The kinetic energy operator is impacted by mass’s location and time dependence, and different representations of the kinetic energy operator in general. The innovative soliton wave solutions for the studied models are built using the generalized Riccati expansion technique. Some unique figures represent the numerical simulations of the derived solutions. Checking for accuracy and re-entering results into the models is part of validating and improving these approaches (Mathematica 13.1).

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a new ventilator mode, which collects the electrical activity of diaphragm (EAdi) and provides proportional pressure. The relationship between intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and EAdi still needs to be elucidated. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of EAdi on IAH and to assess whether NAVA is a suitable ventilation mode for patients with IAH.The patients were divided into non-IAH-NAVA (NIAH-NAVA) group (10 cases), IAH-NAVA group (10 cases), and IAH-PSV group (10 cases). The asynchrony index was also recorded for 30 minutes after enrollment. After 24 hours, the intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), EAdi, NAVA level, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), static lung compliance (CSt), plateau pressure (Pplat), airway pressure (Paw), driving pressure (Pdriv), respiratory rate (RR), tidal volume (VTi), pH, PaO2, PaCO2, and oxygenation index (OI) values were monitored. We also recorded the duration of mechanical ventilation and the length of ICU stay. Patients with IAH had lower EAdi values, and there was a negative correlation between them. In patients with IAH, the NAVA level values were higher, the CSt value was lower, and the Pplat, Paw, PEEP and Pdriv values were increased. Compared with the PSV group, the CSt value was increased and the Pplat, Paw, PEEP and Pdriv values were reduced in the NAVA group. RR value was higher in patients with IAH, while VTi value was reduced. In the NAVA group, the asynchrony index was lower than that in the PSV group. In patients with IAH, the duration of mechanical ventilation in the NAVA group was shorter than that time in the PSV group, however, the length of ICU stay had no differences between the two groups. Our study found a negative correlation between IAP and EAdi. the NAVA level values were higher, the CSt value was lower, and the Pplat, Paw, PEEP and Pdriv values were increased in patients with IAH.However, NAVA could be used to improve respiratory mechanics and reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation in patients with IAH, also improve the asynchrony.
Malaria Case Management in Children at a Lower-Level Health Facility In Kampala: A mixed methods study
Authors: Ajilong Harriet , Nankunda Jolly , Rujumba Joseph , Bongomin Felix , Ndeezi Grace
Published: November 2022

Background
Malaria is often diagnosed and treated clinically despite negative test results in low-resource settings. This has resulted in substantial overuse of antimalarial drugs and delays in the diagnosis of other febrile illnesses thereby increasing mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to describe the malaria diagnosis and treatment practices for uncomplicated malaria among children aged 2–59 months with fever at a health center in Kampala district.
Methods
This was a cross-sectional study using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The study was carried out at Kisenyi health center IV between January and February 2014. A total of 420 children aged 2–59 months with fever were consecutively enrolled. Information regarding malaria diagnosis and treatment practices were extracted from medical records as caretakers exited from the health facility. Key informant interviews were conducted with selected health workers at the facility. Quantitative data was analyzed using STATA version 10 into proportions, means and medians where appropriate while qualitative data was analyzed using the content thematic approach.
Results
Of the 420 children with fever enrolled, 162(38.6%) were prescribed antimalarial drugs without laboratory evaluation. Of the 206 patients who were tested for malaria, all the confirmed positive cases and 72(35%) who tested negative were prescribed antimalarial drugs. Majority of the patients (81%) received artemether- lumefantrine, the recommended first line treatment for uncomplicated malaria while a small proportion (15%) was prescribed non recommended antimalarial therapies. From logistic regression, history of antimalarial drug use was found to be significantly associated with laboratory diagnosis of malaria (p-value 0.02)
Conclusions
Appropriate malaria case diagnosis and treatment is still a challenge in lower-level health facilities. A large proportion of febrile illnesses is clinically diagnosed and treated as malaria and many patients are prescribed antimalarial drugs despite negative test results. This has led to continued misuse of antimalarial drugs and under diagnosis of other causes of fever in children thereby increasing mortality and morbidity.
Recommendations:
To achieve the universal “test and treat” strategy for malaria case management and control, stakeholders should ensure regular supply of laboratory diagnostic equipment. Regular refresher training is needed so that health workers adhere to the recommended national malaria treatment guidelines. Emphasis should be put on proper examination and treatment of alternative causes of children in fever.

Published: November 2022

This study emphasizes the comparative investigation in terms of the thermal capacity of parabolic solar trough collectors with spherical-shaped balls as well as two types of elliptical inserts (longitudinal orientation). Hybrid nanofluid is the heat-carrying liquid, obtained by mixing CuO and Al2O3 nanoparticles in distilled water. Analytical investigations are conducted for 1% vol. concentration of hybrid nanoparticles in distilled water for varying proportions. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is chosen to obtain thermal as well as flow trends in the tube receiver. The outcomes disclosed that 13.3% and 10.02% improvements are noted for thermal efficiency and Nusselt number with elliptical of minor diameter 12mm inserts in receiver respectively than spherical ball inserts. The highest pump work of 35W is associated with spherical inserts, at 0.033kg/s. The entire testing results indicated that, for all the models, the pump work demand increment is negligible than the thermal improvements.
