SOCIAL BEHAVIOR BETWEEN MORAL VALUES AND THE DOMINANCE OF MATERIALISTIC LIFE
Authors: Keltoum Belalmi
Published: December 2024

Objectives: The aim of the article is to explore the complexities of ethical behavior in contemporary life, particularly how ethical questions arise when moral decisions are no longer seen as absolute truths. The article seeks to address the challenges individuals face when confronted with moral dilemmas that require thoughtful consideration rather than unquestioned adherence to principles.
 
Methods: The article uses a philosophical and analytical approach to explore the nature of ethical decision-making. It delves into how individuals grapple with questions like "What is right?" and "What should be done in a given situation?" It also examines the tension between what is beneficial for oneself and what is best for others, highlighting the role of thought and reflection in moral decision-making.
 
Results: The article argues that ethical decision-making becomes complicated when individuals are no longer simply relying on willpower or dogmatic beliefs. Instead, they are forced to confront uncertainty, much like gamblers, venturing into unknown territory both in thought and action. This complexity is not just a challenge of choosing right from wrong but involves a deeper engagement with moral reasoning and self-awareness.
 
Conclusion: In conclusion, ethical behavior is tested when individuals are confronted with complex moral questions that require careful thought. The article suggests that even the most trusting and dogmatic individuals, who believe they are doing the right thing, are engaging in a form of gambling, unaware of the uncertainties they face in their ethical decisions. The process of ethical reasoning, therefore, requires a shift from blind faith to thoughtful engagement with moral complexities.

Authors: Boonpan TERDPONG , Boonyachut Supawadee
Published: December 2024

As Thailand approaches "Super-Aged Society" status by 2031, addressing the housing needs of self-reliant pensioners has become crucial to supporting independence and quality of life for the aging population. This study examines accommodation models that support active aging, allowing retirees in Bangkok to maintain autonomy, well-being, and social engagement. Through focus groups with near-retirement individuals, key concerns such as accessibility, environmental safety, space utilization, and affordability were identified, emphasizing the importance of housing options that meet diverse income levels and lifestyle preferences. Based on these insights, three housing models; Detached/Semi-Detached Homes, Apartments/Condominiums, and Lodges, are proposed to address the varied needs of elderly residents across four essential dimensions: functional, emotional, life-changing, and social impact. Each model provides practical amenities, community integration, and supportive environments that foster active aging and enhance quality of life. By aligning housing features with the Elements of Value Pyramid, this study assesses the feasibility and impact of each model, with measurable outcomes such as resident satisfaction, social engagement, and accessibility. This research contributes to the development of sustainable, age-friendly accommodations that holistically address the functional, emotional, life-changing, and social needs of Thailand’s elderly population.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: peritoneal tuberculosis, commonly abbreviated as TB, represents one of the most complex and challenging modalities to identify within the various forms of tuberculosis occurring outside the lungs, known as extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The difficulty presented by this challenge may be most significant in those areas where the incidence of the disease is low, as well as in patients suffering from cirrhosis, in whom the mere presence of ascites may not be sufficient to warrant further investigation of their health status. Significant delay in the identification and appropriate treatment of peritoneal tuberculosis can lead to a number of adverse consequences resulting in worse clinical outcomes for the affected patient. The aim of the present study is to learn about the clinical presentation of this pathology. Case Report: a 38-year-old male patient presents with holocranial headache accompanied by unquantified thermal elevations of 24 hours of evolution, 3 hours ago the symptomatology is exacerbated and accompanied by diffuse abdominal pain of great intensity, reason for which he goes to the doctor. Conclusion: the diagnostic process for peritoneal tuberculosis can be complicated and challenging, and this is due to a series of factors such as the presence of non-specific symptoms, the fact that the onset of the disease is usually insidious and gradual, as well as the variability in the findings that can be observed in the imaging tests performed.

Inborn Errors of Immunity: New Insights
Authors: Roganović Jelena , Bellesi Gaia
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a comprehensive and updated overview of inborn errors of immunity (IEIs), focusing on the optimal treatment strategies. IEIs or primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are a heterogeneous group of approximately 500 disorders, classified into ten categories according to the affected component of the immune system. The clinical presentation varies, based on the type of the disorder and the patient’s age. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent recurrent severe infections and potential organ damage. Treatment strategies, including hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, enzyme replacement therapy, thymus transplantation, or gene therapy, primarily focus to restore immune function. Emerging therapeutic approaches aiming to modify the immune response comprise small molecule inhibitors, biological therapies, and adoptive transfer of virus-specific T-cells. Given the complexity and diversity of PIDs, as well as evolving novel therapies, continuous education of the physicians on timely diagnosis and effective intervention, significantly improves patients’ management and outcomes.
Conclusion. Early diagnosis and individualized treatment plans are crucial for effectively managing IEIs. As treatment options evolve, ongoing education and the integration of new approaches are key to improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

Authors: Naufal Muhammad Naufal Noorsyah , Widyaningsih Aristanti , Andriana Denny
Published: December 2024

Customer satisfaction is a critical determinant of business sustainability and growth, influencing customer loyalty, company reputation, and competitive positioning. This study systematically reviews the interplay between pricing strategies and service quality as key drivers of customer satisfaction. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method guided by the PRISMA framework, 25 relevant articles were analyzed to synthesize insights into this dynamic relationship. The findings reveal that effective pricing strategies, including value-based, competitive, and dynamic pricing, significantly impact customer satisfaction by aligning price with perceived value. Simultaneously, high service quality, measured through the SERVQUAL dimensions (reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and tangibles), enhances customer experiences and fosters loyalty. The study underscores the critical interdependence of these factors, demonstrating that businesses must balance competitive pricing with superior service delivery to optimize customer satisfaction. This research provides a framework for companies to strategically integrate pricing and service quality, addressing market-specific challenges and leveraging opportunities for long-term success. Future studies are encouraged to explore the role of technological advancements, such as AI-driven pricing models and personalized service innovations, in further enhancing customer satisfaction in dynamic and competitive markets.

Authors: Handajani Aniek
Published: December 2024

A rise in radicalism and violence in Indonesia leads to important questions of how individuals be ‘radicalized’ that makes it difficult to combat radicalism. Hence, attempt to mitigate radicalism requires understanding the radicalization process and the concept of de-radicalization. This study aims at stimulating discussion on theories of radicalization and rethinking concepts of de-radicalization. This research addresses the question on how theories of radicalization process relate to efforts of de-radicalization through education applied recently in Indonesia. This study is a qualitative approach with a descriptive type of library research which uses theories of radicalization and concepts of de-radicalization as research data. This research critically analyses theories of de-radicalization on an attempt to mitigate radicalism through education. There are many models explaining the radicalization process toward an individual. Among the existing models of radicalization process, two influential models are Wiktorowicz’s model and Sinai’s model. Furthermore, based on researches of de-radicalization, concepts of Pressman and Golose give a comprehensive concept of de-radicalization and support efforts to mitigate radicalism through education. This study also proposes some strategies to mitigate radicalism in schools

Published: December 2024

Total factor productivity (TFP) has received much attention from both academics and policy makers in the past decade, as it promises an answer to the question of sustainable growth in the context of limited inputs. This article examines the TFP of manufacturing companies in Vietnam and the factors at the firm level, in addition to locational drivers, especially at the provincial level, that drive the change in TFP. We use a strongly balanced panel dataset of 1,130 manufacturing firms from 2014 to 2018 and the Wooldridge method to calculate the TFP and a general least squares estimator with a heteroskedastic and uncorrelated error structure to examine the determinants. The results show that the TFP of firms is driven by factors at both the firm and the province levels. Specifically, firm size and capital intensity have a positive impact on TFP, while differences in firm type also influence TFP outcomes. Furthermore, six locational factors significantly impact firms' TFP, with a particular emphasis on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) readiness, transparency index, and corruption index. Most importantly, we found that transparency and corruption have a nonlinear inverse U-shaped association with the TFP of firms, implying that there is an optimal midpoint of governance quality that maximizes the TFP of firms. The article then provides certain implications for both policymakers and firms in improving their TFP.

Authors: Pham Ngoc Huong Quynh  , Nguyen Bich Ha
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the factors influencing citizens’ intention to use online public services (OPS), focusing on perceived usefulness, trust in security, convenience, ease of use, and technological accessibility. Using a survey of 334 people in Hanoi and the PLS-SEM model, the study analyzes the impact of these factors on user intention through a series of empirical tests. The results reveal that perceived usefulness is the strongest predictor of user intention, supported by significant positive effects from trust in security and perceived convenience. Perceived ease of use shows a positive but less pronounced impact, while technological accessibility has a more minor yet significant effect. These findings align with established theories in technology adoption and provide practical implications for policymakers and service providers. To enhance the adoption of OPS, it is crucial to communicate the benefits of these services, implement robust security measures, and improve user convenience. Addressing technological accessibility is also important but should be complemented by efforts to strengthen other critical factors. This study offers valuable insights for designing and implementing effective OPS.

Relevance. Back and neck pain is one of the most common reasons of visiting a doctor. Pain syndrome is mostly related to lesion of the musculoskeletal system components, but may be due to specific reasons as traumas, systemic inflammatory diseases, tumors, etc. The reasons of spinal pain may be spinal infections which refer to quite rare and difficult to diagnose diseases. A doctor should be concerned of the spinal infection in order to suspect this abnormality and to send a patient for respective examination.

Case descriptions. The article presents a case of purulent epiduritis in a patient with chronic urological pathology. Difficulties in diagnosis were related to non-specific clinical symptoms of the disease, missing sings of the infection process in the spine as shown by computed tomography, presence of infection site of other localization. The patient was hospitalized in the therapeutic department with the diagnosis: Diabetes mellitus type 2, newly diagnosed. Vertebrogenic cervicobrachialgia on the left, exacerbation. Benign prostatic hyperplasia. Acute urinary retention. Chronic obstructive pyelonephritis, exacerbation. Antibacterial therapy, insulin therapy, and symptomatic therapy were administered. Intoxication, neurological symptoms, laboratory activity were observed during the therapy. The patient underwent MRI examination which resulted to diagnosing epiduritis of cervical and thoracic spine. Antimicrobial therapy regimen was changed which resulted to regression of neurological symptoms, pain syndrome, positive laboratory dynamics was observed. The patient was discharged following completion of intravenous therapy with recommendations on further treatment on outpatient basis.

Conclusion. This clinical observation demonstrates the difficulties in diagnosing purulent-inflammatory disease of the spine in a patient with chronic urological pathology undergoing treatment in the therapeutic department. Magnetic resonance examination was crucial in establishing the correct diagnosis. The conservative therapy with antimicrobial agents was effective in this case; no surgical treatment was required.

Published: December 2024

Relevance. Rhinophyma is treated by plastic surgeons, otorhinolaryngologists and dermatologists. It is observed mainly in men over 40 years of age, manifested by disfiguring face and nose nodes, which progressively enlarge. Surgical methods can achieve a rapid and cosmetically significant effect, but can be associated with complications and scarring.

Case descriptions. The article presents a case of successful radio wave treatment of 70-year-old man with rhinophyma. It was noted that radiowave surgery has advantages over other methods: the pain syndrome during and after surgery was insignificant, good hemostasis was noted due to the use of the cutting-coagulation mode, which provided good visual control over the tissues being removed. Different types of tips allowed manipulation on the uneven convex and concave surfaces of the external nose, the removed material was not subjected to destruction, which made it possible to take all tissues for histological examination. Due to the gentle effect on tissues during radiowave removal, it was not necessary to apply skin flaps or free skin grafting for a satisfactory cosmetic result.

Conclusion. Clinical observation shows that outpatient radiowave surgery of rhinophyma is possible without skin grafting with a good cosmetic effect.

Relevance. Histology, which studies the microscopic structure of tissues, is the basis for many biomedical sciences. The study of the histology history helps to understand better how modern research and diagnostic methods were formed. With the rapid development of technologies such as artificial intelligence and genomic research, the understanding of the histology history can help in evaluating new approaches and integrating them into traditional methods. The history of the histology development may be interesting to specialists and students who want to understand the evolution of scientific ideas.

Results. Histology originated long before the invention of the microscope, but its formation as a science is associated with the microscope creation. Therefore, there are three stages in the development of histology: before microscopic, microscopic and modern. Knowledge of the history of histological studies allows us to fully and deeply understand the processes occurring in the body at the cellular level. The article describes the main important achievements and scientific discoveries of scientists who have contributed to the development of histology, as well as to the improvement of microscopy. Histology creates a theoretical basis for the study of many clinical disciplines. It is a fundamental discipline. It has a great practical importance. Microscopy is necessary not only for making diagnoses, but also in the treatment process. Microscopes are used in surgery for operations requiring delicate intervention, in ophthalmology, neurosurgery, vascular surgery and many other areas of medicine.

Conclusion. This article presents a brief summary of the history of the formation and development of histology as a science, important discoveries and achievements that influenced the development of medicine and biology. The article is intended for a wide range of readers, especially for students and teachers of medical universities, as well as for clinical residents, graduate students and doctors of various specialties.

Background: Although the COVID-19 pandemic is over, the disease remains a public health threat. Contracting and transmitting SARS-COV-2 among individuals under 18 is significant. Objectives: This study aims to identify potential side effects and symptomatic reinfections among 12-18-year-olds after receiving COVID-19 vaccines. Methods: In this longitudinal study conducted in 2021 - 2022 in Dezful, Iran, 1,000 vaccinated individuals were followed up for 6 months. Side effects and symptomatic reinfections of the first and second doses of PastoCovac and Sinopharm vaccines and a history of prior SARS-COV-2 infection were recorded. Results: Only 7.6% received the PastoCovac vaccine, while 92.4% received the Sinopharm vaccine. The most common side effect for both vaccines was local pain at the injection site, while the least common was skin rash. Side effects were 1.9 times more prevalent with the PastoCovac vaccination. Women had a 2.3 times higher chance of experiencing side effects after the first dose and a 1.9 times higher chance after the second dose compared to men. Over the 6-month follow-up period, 11.6% and 14.3% of individuals experienced re-infection after the first and second vaccine doses, respectively. It seems with the passage of time and the decrease in the level of immunity, the possibility of re-infection increases. Conclusions: Both vaccines were considered safe for 12-18-year-olds. However, receiving two doses does not guarantee protection against reinfection.

Background: Cancer is one of the most common causes of death in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of parents’ education on the prevention of leukemia in children. Methods: This study was a survey performed in Mahak and Bahrami hospitals in 2019. Checklists were completed in two groups of parents, those who had a child with leukemia and those who had a healthy child. Data were analyzed by SPSS statistical software. Results: In this study, 365 individuals in the healthy group and 81 in the cancer group participated. More than sixty percent (62.3%) were females. The highest frequency of age in both groups was 31 - 40 years. The highest frequency of parents’ education in the healthy group was associate degree and bachelor (about 51%) and in the cancer group, lowers than associate degree (about 73%). There was a significant relationship between parents’ education and the prevalence of leukemia in children (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Based on the study, parents’ higher education can be effective in preventing the development of leukemia in children.

Authors: Olcer Zeynep , Bozkurt Gulcin
Published: December 2024

Background: Poor sleep quality leads to interventions during labor, more fatigue during labor, decreased tolerance to pain, prolonged duration of delivery, and impaired quality of life and health. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of sleep quality during pregnancy on labor pain and duration of delivery. Methods: This study is descriptive based on repeated measurements. The sample consisted of 75 pregnant women. A personal information form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and Visual Analog Scale-Pain were used to collect the data. Medians, standard deviations, frequency, percentages, minimum, maximum, Fisher’s exact test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Mann-Whitney U test were used for data analysis. Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient was used to assess the reliability of the scales. Results: Sleep quality was poor in 89.3% of the women. Back, waist, and leg pain during pregnancy negatively affected sleep quality. The duration of the second stage of labor was shorter in pregnant women who had poor sleep quality. It was seen that daytime sleepiness and sleep duration did not affect the length of labor. No significant difference was found between labor pain and daytime sleepiness, and sleep quality. Conclusions: Sleep quality deteriorated during pregnancy. Sleep quality affected the duration of the second stage of labor. Sleep quality and daytime sleepiness did not affect labor pain.
