Dynamic Surgery Waiting List through an Electronic Approach
Authors: STEFANIDOU Sofia , TOUHTIDIS Panagiotis
Published: June 2023

Introduction: The Surgery Waiting List establishment, three years ago, at the National Health System (NHS) was a project limited in recording the problem, that is to say at the constant flow issue of patients from rural areas to the large urban hospitals and the long waiting times for surgical procedures. The rapidly changing healthcare sector requires a continuous innovation and quality improvement of health- care services delivery. To this direction, Cloud Computing technology adoption contributes crucially, providing access in data information at anytime and from any- where. Moreover, enables healthcare organizations to meet up with new requirements for data exchange and to ensure the proper management of resources. Purpose: We aim to use Cloud Computing technology for shorten waiting times for surgical procedure and to propose the creation of a platform, which provides realtime access to the Surgery Waiting List and collaborates with the existing online health services in country. Material - Method: We examined the Surgery Wait- ing Lists of various hospitals and observed that these are presented by a static form, are not updated on a regular basis, and do not reflect the progress of the pro- cedure. After studying the data contained in the lists, according the provisions of the Ministry of Health, we designed the proposed, dynamic Surgery Waiting List. Moqups software was used to simulate the application. The platform is developed in Cloud Computing, with accordance of law and the Regulation EU 2016/679 (GDPR). The Cloud Analyst software helped us for simu- lation in operation. Results: The dynamic Surgery Waiting List we propose offers the monitoring of waiting times in real time, with automatic updates. The benefits of using cloud computing services is that resources are provided on-demand and deliver faster processing of data. Conclusions: The results were encouraging and we are of the opinion that the implementation of the proposed Platform of Surgery Waiting List is possible. The advantages can be summarized in the dynamic interac- tion between patients and healthcare providers and in the available options that patients could have for faster treatment.

Background: continuing professional education, espe- cially in the healthcare sector, contributes significantly to updating specialized personnel’s know-how and improving their overall professional and interpersonal skills. Never- theless, it is necessary to be integrated as a broader human resource management strategy, directly and continuously interrelated with parameters such as job satisfaction, moti- vation, working conditions, interprofessional cooperation, and the quality of the health services provided. Aim: to study health professionals’ attitudes toward continuing professional’s education impact on their relationships with peers and patients and investigate their incentives for participating in it. Method: 185 health professionals, coming from the scientific and administrative staff of two NHS hospitals, took part in a cross-sectional exploratory study from February to April 2020. The participants were asked to complete a structured questionnaire consisting of 38 closed-type ques- tions, which is translated into Greek and weighted accordingly, Participation Reasons Scale (PRS). The statistical analysis of the data collected was carried out with IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 21.0, at the statistical significance level of 0.05 Results: the analysis of the data collected revealed con- tinuing education’s statistically significant positive impact on professional competence and services provided to patients, especially for fixed-term employees (b=0.2, 95%CIb= 0.1-0.3, p=0.025). Additionally, the study participants identified this positive effect as the strongest incentive for participating in such programs (scales’ total score: M= 5,5, SD=1,1, Mdn=5,7). Conclusions: health professionals recognize a variety of incentives to participate in continuing professional education activities, which are associated to varying degrees with their subjective need for work and personal further development.

The aqueous leaf extract of Allium cepaL. was evaluated for its phytochemistry, acute toxicity, efficacy and in vitro trypanocidal activity using standard procedures. A total of 12 wistar rats were grouped into 4 groups of 3 rats each and were intraperitioneally administered with graded doses of 100, 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg bw of the extract. All groups of wistar rats were observed for 24 hours for sign of toxicity and mortality. Qualitative phytochemical analysis of the aqueous leaf extract revealed the presence of alkaloids,flavonoids, anthraquinones, steroids, saponins, reducing sugars, monosacharides, glycosides, tannins and ketones, while phlabotannins was absent. The median lethal dose (LD50) of the plant extract was determined as 600 mg/kg. Clinical signs exhibited in the treated wistar rats were dose dependent. The in vitro trypanocidal efficacy of the extract of A. cepa on Trypanosoma brucei showed lethality at 800 mg/ml.

Published: June 2023

Intestinal and urinary helminth infections affect up to a quarter of the world’s population, with the potential of causing significant public health and economic burden. The occurrence of helminth parasites in stool and urine of residents, and water and soil samples of some communities around Lake Alau, Maiduguri, Nigeria was determined using direct microscopy, floatation and sedimentation techniques. A total of 349 (34.7%) residents were infected out of the 1,005 examined, consisting of 220 (21.9%) males and 129 (12.8%) females, with significant (p<0.05) variation based on gender. Similarly, the infection was significantly (p<0.05) higher among young individuals 197(19.6%) than the adults 152(15.1%). Among the ten communities (Logajiri, Melari, Dumbari, AlauLimanti, Awa Isari, Limanti, Gaskeri, Attakeri, Chellomi and Gomari Karekǝri) examined, the infection was significantly (p<0.05) highest at Gomari Karekǝri 57 (5.7%) and Alau Limanti 55(5.5%) and least at Gaskeri 19 (1.9%) and Chellomari 20 (2.0%). Intestinal parasites encountered consist of Ascaris lumbricoides 234 (23.3%), Trichuris trichiura 24 (2.4%), Strongyloides stercoralis 10 (1.0%), Schistosoma mansoni 8 (0.8%), and Taenia species 1 (0.1%) (p<0.05).  Schistosoma haematobium 72 (7.2%) was the only helminth parasite recovered from urine samples examined.  Environmental (water and soil) contamination with parasite stages was predominantly with pre-parasitic nematode larvae 50 (25%), eggs of Strongyloides stercoralis 50 (25%), Ascaris lumbricoides 30 (15%), Strongyle spp. 30 (15%) and cysts of protozoans; Entamoeba histolytica 30 (15%) and Giardia intestinalis 10 (5%).  The results suggest that infection with intestinal and urinary parasites is common among the residents of the study area and that socio-cultural habits may favour the survival and transmission of these parasites in the area.

Authors: Ememe M. U. , Edeh R. E.
Published: June 2023

Exertional Rhabdomyolysis is an imbalance between the animal's diet and its workload, especially when on a high-grain diet. An 11-year-old Argentine mare weighing 360 Kg was presented with a complaint of pyrexia, anorexia, pointed stance and stiff gait, reluctance to move and trembling when compelled to walk. On physical examination, body condition score of 2.5/5, excessive sweating, stiff hind quarters, and reluctance to move were observed. On clinical examination, the animal showed tachypnea, congested ocular mucous membrane and a temperature of 38.9oC. Blood sample was taken for complete blood cell count and biochemical test. The result of haematological test was within normal range while the biochemical test revealed hypoglycemia, hypochloremia, hyponatremia and hypokalemia.  The levels of calcium, creatine kinase and bicarbonate were higher than the normal range. A diagnosis of azoturia was made based on history, clinical signs and laboratory test. The movement of the horse was restricted and it was treated with 0.6 mg/kg meloxicam daily for 5 days, 0.2mg/kg dexamethasone daily for 2 days, 12 ml of VitESe daily for 3 days and 60ml of Promin® daily for 3 days. The horse was given gentle walking exercise and low carbohydrate diet during the treatment period and normal function of the horse gradually returned 4 weeks after presentation. It was concluded that exertional rhabdomyolysis can be managed by administration of analgesic and anti-inflammatory, restricted carbohydrate diet and limited exercise until muscle function returns to normal.

Evolution of Self: Exploration of Personality Development in Kamila Shamsie's Selective Novel
Authors: Dar Hafiz Muhammad Usman , Shafique Quratul Ain , Khatoon Yasmeen
Published: June 2023

The persona of Hasan in Kamila Shamsie’s novel In the City By the Sea is a complicated and multi-faceted character whose adventure from childhood to adulthood illustrates his cognitive and psychosocial improvement in the story. In this paper, we have analyzed Hasan's character focusing on his cognitive maturity and social development, discovering through his life experiences and relationships his idea of self and the world around him. Our discussion draws on Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, explaining the ways Hasan's conception of reality and truth undergoes evolution over time as he progresses from a concrete, sensorimotor awareness of the world to greater abstract, formal operational understanding. We additionally utilize Erikson's ideas on psychosocial development, especially the stage of identity versus identity confusion in his theory and the blossoming of Hasan's ego identity. The paper argues that Hasan's immediate life experiences and relationships play an essential function in shaping his idea of himself and the surrounding world. In conclusion, our research offers an insightful interpretation of Hasan's portrayal in the novel, exploring the functioning of cognitive and psychosocial growth at work in his progression from formative years to maturity. The current research highlights the utility of Piaget and Erikson's theories to interpret literary characters and unpack the interplay of both nature and nurture in comprehending the complex phenomenon of human development.

The data used in this study are primary data obtained from 30 respondents as a sample selected based on the simple random sampling method. The data obtained were then analyzed using correlation coefficient analysis and multiple linear regression using SPSS software version 25. The results of the analysis on the simultaneous test showed positive and significant results, which means that the independent variable has an influence on the dependent variable. While the partial test shows the results that the financial literacy variable has a significant positive effect on the investment awareness variable, but on the personal interest variable the results of the analysis show that the personal interest variable has an insignificant negative effect on the investment awareness variable. In the correlation coefficient test, the financial literacy variable on investment awareness has a perfect correlation, while the personal interest variable has a very weak relationship. The results of this study provide managerial implications for students who want to invest. students must instill a high interest in investing or it can be said that students must first have motivation in investing. By instilling student interest in investment, it is hoped that students will realize the importance of investment where we know that investment is a solution in today's era, the need is getting bigger and the cost of living is also getting higher.
Spanish teachers’ perceptions about their positive impact on their students to maintain their interest
Authors: Pratt Comfort
Published: June 2023

The shortage of foreign language speakers in the United States has reached alarming levels. While Spanish is the most widely spoken and studied foreign language, it has also been experiencing low enrollments and discontinuation after a short term of study, leading to lack of acquisition of communicative competence, which is essential for fluency in the language. To that end, this mixed-method study, which forms part of a large-scale study on foreign language teachers’ perceptions, investigated Spanish teachers’ perceptions about how they determine if they successfully impact their students to maintain their interest in the language and study it long enough to acquire communicative competence. Findings revealed that the teachers believe that the factors that indicate to them that they have a positive impact on their students to maintain their interest in the language are the students’ interest in their classes and the language, their motivation toward the language, the feedback they provide, teacher–student relationships, and the students’ engagement in classroom activities and academic success. Recommended follow-up studies include an investigation of students’ perceptions to ascertain where the teachers’ and the students’ perceptions coincide and where they differ in order to ensure the successful maintenance of students’ interest in the language.
Metaphor as a cognitive facilitator in L2 vocabulary acquisition
Authors: Yim Dexter
Published: June 2023

Vocabulary acquisition is a cognitive activity that poses a significant challenge to second language learners. Non-literal language, particularly metaphor, has long been recognized as a potent cognitive and linguistic tool for expressing and understanding abstract concepts, emotions, and experiences. However, some contend that learning non-literal language may impede L2 vocabulary acquisition. This research paper aimed to investigate the impact of metaphorical competence and metaphorical awareness on vocabulary acquisition in second language learners based on theoretical and empirical studies. It examined a few studies that demonstrated how metaphorical competence and awareness facilitate vocabulary acquisition, such as scaffolding learners’ acquisition of word meanings and improving their vocabulary retention. The implications for L2 vocabulary research were discussed for future design, and pedagogical implications were proffered for educators.

Os impactos socioeconômicos da crise global do Covid-19 demandam esforços organizacionais para adaptação e manutenção das instituições durante a crise. Nesse ínterim, sob a lente da Teoria dos Custos de Transação, a presente pesquisa objetivou analisar quais os impactos causados pela pandemia da Covid-19 em indicadores-chave que representam o relacionamento das operadoras privadas de planos Odontológicos com seus clientes, no intuito de mapear os impactos desta relação sobre aspectos da sustentabilidade financeira das Operadoras privadas de planos odontológicos, analisados com o aporte teórico da Teoria dos Custos de Transação e a literatura de Indicadores de Desempenho para o setor de serviços, especialmente o de saúde. Um dos recursos para ampliar o conhecimento da situação pode ser o monitoramento constante de indicadores de desempenho. Nessa perspectiva, investigou-se o comportamento de indicadores econômico-financeiros, a saber: liquidez corrente, capital circulante líquido, perdas sobre vendas e prazo médio de recebimento, nos períodos pré pandemia e pandemia que correspondeu a análise das demonstrações contábeis, respectivamente, do 2º trimestre de 2018 até o 1º trimestre de 2020 e do 2º trimestre de 2020 até o primeiro trimestre de 2022, das empresas de grande porte listadas como cooperativas odontológicas e odontologia de grupo inseridas na ANS. Com a coleta e tratamento dos dados observou-se que a médias de alguns indicadores sofreram maior variação, como perda sobre vendas, no entanto houve um acréscimo significante com relação a liquidez corrente, o que pode significar que mesmo sendo um serviço que requeira especificidade de ativos (serviços de saúde bucal), as transações em períodos de anormalidade, como este da pandemia, não geram grandes impactos nos custos das transações.

INTRODUÇÃO: Câncer de Mama é o tipo de câncer mais comum entre as mulheres no mundo e no Brasil, depois do câncer de pele não melanoma. O câncer de mama responde, atualmente, por cerca de 28% dos casos novos de câncer em mulheres. OBJETIVO: Relatar a importância dos cuidados com as mamas femininas, abordando uma atenção especial para os exames de Mamografia e a alusão ao Outubro Rosa, investindo na educação em saúde para a sociedade feminina.  METODOLOGIA: O presente estudo refere-se a uma revisão bibliográfica, cuja finalidade é abordar sobre a detecção do câncer de mama e as ações humanizadas por parte dos profissionais de saúde em relação as mulheres com a doença. RESULTADO E DISCURSÃO: O acompanhamento psicológico para mulheres que já fazem tratamento, o acompanhamento junto ao Enfermeiro e ao Médico quando surgir algum sintoma que pode predispor ao surgimento do câncer, foram relatados sobre a questão do autoexame, pois, segundo a OMS esse método não é tão eficaz, devido algumas mulheres esconderem o que sentiram durante a palpação mamária, visto que a prevenção do câncer de mama pode ser segmentada em duas partes em duas partes, sendo elas a prevenção primária e secundária, onde a prevenção tem medidas simples como o ensino da população referente as mudanças no estilo de vida saudável, saindo do sedentarismo, evitando comidas gordurosas, fazendo um controle balanceado do peso, diminuindo a ingesta de bebidas alcoólicas e parando de fumar. O exame clinico é visto como parte fundamental da propedêutica diagnostica, constituindo a base para a solicitação de exames complementares. Em relação ao autoexame das mamas, que foi bastante difundido no século XX, atualmente o Ministério da Saúde não incentiva a realização desse procedimento, visto que seus riscos superam os benefícios, é imprescindível notar a forte influência genética nesta enfermidade. É fato notório que a mesma desenvolvesse quando há uma perda de controle sobre as células das mamas, que passam a se multiplicar rapidamente e intoxicam o organismo. Caso ocorra algum problema em algum gene desta enzima, as mesmas apresentarão defeitos, e consequentemente, o câncer se desenvolverá.     CONCLUSÃO: Em virtude dos fatos mencionados, obteve-se um conhecimento enriquecedor em relação a um dos tipos de cânceres que mais afetam as mulheres mundialmente. Lembrando que deve-se tomar as medidas de prevenção todos os dias e buscar o conhecimento necessário para o combate ao mesmo, ofertando um cuidado mais humanizado a mulher que tem essa doença mamária. O profissional deve-se atentar ao máximo sobre as restrições e também sobre os efeitos adversos advindos do tratamento tanto quimioterápico quanto radioterápico.
Die Jastorfsiedlung bei Tangermünde

Auf dem Gelände einer Jastorfsiedlung am Stadtrand von Tangermünde fanden in den Jahren 1927/28 und 1947 Ausgrabungen statt. Obwohl zahlreiche Pfostenlöcher, Siedlungsgruben und Herdstellen freigelegt wurden, konnten nur die Grundrisse von drei Häusern vollständig erfaßt werden. Die Siedlung war vom Ende der älteren bis zur jüngeren vorrömischen Eisenzeit bewohnt. Auf die Bedeutung der Viehzucht weisen Knochen von Rind, Pferd, Schwein, Schaf, Ziege, Hund und Hausgeflügel hin, die in den Abfallgruben gefunden wurden. Dieser Befund und die geographische Lage weiterer gleichzeitiger Siedlungen in der Altmark sprechen dafür, daß die Viehzucht in der landwirtschaftlichen Produktion dominierte.

Pendahuluan: Salah satu indikator keberhasilan pelayanan kesehatan adalah kepuasan pasien. Puskesmas sebagai tempat pelayanan kesehatan pertama yang di tuntut untuk dapat memenuhi harapan masyarakat. Apabila pelayanan puskesmas yang diberikan baik maka akan semakin banyak masyarakat yang memanfaatkan pelayanan tersebut, namun sebaliknya jika pelayanan dirasa kurang memuaskan maka masyarakat semakin sedikit yang memanfaatkan pelayanan puskesmas. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan kepuasan pasien pada pelayanan kesehatan di Puskesmas Bungatan.

Metode: penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional dengan sampel sebanyak 50 responden. Teknik pengambilan sampel pada penelitian ini menggunakan accidental sampling. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner tentang faktor–faktor yang berhubungan dengan kepuasan pasien pada pelayanan kesehatan di puskesmas. Teknik analisa data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah uji Chi-square.

Hasil: Hasil Analisa data faktor tangibles (bukti nyata) didapatkan nilai p-value sebesar  0,602 > α (0,05), maka tidak ada hubungan antara Tangibles (bukti nyata) dengan Kepuasan Pasien di Puskemas Bungatan, Hasil Analisa data faktor reability (Keandalan) didapatkan nilai p-value 0,02 < α (0,05), maka ada hubungan antara Reability (Keandalan) dengan Kepuasan Pasien di Puskemas Bungatan, Hasil Analisa data faktor responsiveness (ketanggapan) didapatkan nilai p-value 0,171 > α (0,05), maka tidak ada hubungan antara Responsiveness (ketanggapan) dengan Kepuasan Pasien di Puskemas Bungatan, Hasil Analisa data faktor Assurance (jaminan) didapatkan nilai p-value 0,597 > α (0,05), maka tidak ada hubungan antara Assurance (jaminan) dengan Kepuasan Pasien di Puskemas Bungatan, Hasil Analisa data faktor Empaty (empati) didapatkan nilai p-value 0,948 > α (0,05), maka tidak ada hubungan antara Empaty (empati) dengan Kepuasan Pasien di Puskemas Bungatan.

Kesimpulan: Faktor Reability (Keandalan) merupakan factor yang berhubungan secara signifikan dengan kepuasan pasien. untuk itu puskemas sebagai pemberi pelayanan kesehatan harus mampu mewujudkan faktor  tersebut.

Crianças e adolescentes em situação de rua estão mais propensos a comportamentos de risco e mais vulneráveis a uma série de desfechos negativos para a saúde quando comparados a crianças e adolescentes da população geral. Este ensaio teórico se propôs a refletir sobre as políticas públicas que visam proteger e garantir os direitos de crianças e adolescentes vivendo em situação de rua no Brasil. Nos grandes centros urbanos, episódios flagrantes de violações de direitos humanos envolvendo crianças e adolescentes em situação de rua são recorrentes. O enfraquecimento dos vínculos familiares e comunitários, a proteção inadequada do Estado, a ausência da escola, o trabalho infantil, o envolvimento com o tráfico de drogas e a violência, entre outros elementos, tornam crianças e adolescentes em situação de rua um grupo particularmente suscetível a violações estruturais. Crianças e adolescentes em situação de rua caracterizam uma questão social complexa e delicada, demandando serviços, programas e ações eficazes. Ainda existe uma grande invisibilidade política relacionada a este segmento. E, embora a responsabilidade do estado sobre esta população esteja prevista em uma série de instrumentos legais e planos governamentais, os direitos de crianças e adolescentes em situação de rua exigem aprimoramento, efetivação e monitoramento.
Preliminary handheld XRF analysis of Late Bronze Age metal finds from the Budakeszi-Őzvölgy-tető site (Pest county, Hungary)

This study discusses the chemical analysis results of Middle and Late Bronze Age stray finds and the Late Bronze Age hoards excavated at the recently discovered Budakeszi-Őzvölgy-tető site (Pest County, Hungary). This measurement series is the second stage in the scientific evaluation of the finds, which helps to characterize the elemental composition and raw material characteristics of the A and B hoards and the stray finds. Our aim is to obtain elemental composition information on the 103 objects, which can be used to identify the main alloy types within the hoards, as well as to establish a research strategy for the further examination of the metal finds from the Őzvölgy-tető with more complex and reliable methods. A handheld XRF device was used, which provides compositional information on the surface of the objects, but its main advantage is that it enables the analysis of a large number of samples within a short time. Here, we interpret the obtained data within the limits of the applied method. Based on our results, the majority of the artifacts can be identified as Cu-Sn alloys. Pb, Sb, Ni, Zn, Ag, Fe, Co and As are the main accompanying elements of the objects’ patina from Budakeszi, their presence being indicative of the raw material and its source. The presence of certain elements at higher quantities may indicate specific technological phenomena. The high surface Pb content on the convex part of the ingots is probably due to the phenomenon of lead segregation. While the high Fe content could be interpreted as a technological defect and the result of an incomplete iron removal process during smelting. Handheld XRF measurements show a correlation between patina color and surface elemental composition in some cases (e.g., dark gray – high Pb, black – high Pb-Sb), but more typically, the same color can be associated with different elemental combinations (grayish-silver, high Pb-Sb, Pb-Sn, high Sn). Our results help to independently verify the relative dating of the hoards and the stray finds. The high Fe or Zn content, which is not typical of the Late Bronze Age, allows us to date some of the stray find lumps and one sheet of metal to the Medieval Period or Modern Ages. The high surface Sb and Pb contents observed in Late Bronze Age artifacts from Budakeszi are in good agreement with former quantitative elemental composition data from Transdanubian (e.g., Biatorbágy, Velem-Szent Vid), Austrian and Slovenian artifacts deposited in the Ha B1 period, which support the archaeological dating of the hoards and most stray finds.
Design of Cost-Effective Microcontroller Based Load Controller with Data Logging for Standalone Electric Plant
Authors: Bhandari Samir Raj
Published: June 2023

Maintaining the voltage and frequency fluctuation using a hydraulic governor in Standalone Micro- Hydro Projects (SMHEP) is costlier than the generator itself. So, an Electronics Load Controller (ELC) is used to regulate output power of generator used in the SMHEP. Developments in the ELCs will play an important role in increasing the efficiency and life span of the power plant thereby providing a lot of space for the further improvements. This paper analyzes the current trends and tries to identify their limitations and suggest a novel approach in designing a cost effective ELC system with the capabilities of data logging. In this study software simulation was carried out in Proteus, while the experimental model was designed using microcontroller and integrated sensor system. Both the software and hardware implementations showed positive results. The experiment was carried out under laboratory conditions in which the proposed model successfully diverted the excess power to connected dump loads and allowed the generator to generate the power at full load with efficient data logging and graphical user interface.
