DAMPAK PERILAKU PETANI DALAM BUDIDAYA BAWANG MERAH TERHADAP PERUBAHAN KONDISI AGROEKOSISTEM DI KABUPATEN BREBES
Authors: Bahar Yul Harry
Published: February 2024

Brebes adalah salah satu kawasan utama produksi bawang merah secara nasional. Petani sudah terbiasa melakukan praktek budidaya secara intensif dengan ketergantungan sangat tinggi pada bahan kimiawi pertanian (agrochemical), terutama pupuk dan pestisida. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari perubahan kondisi agroekosistem sebagai dampak dari perilaku petani dalam praktek budidaya bawang merah di Brebes. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada beberapa sentra utama, bulan Oktober- November 2015. Perilaku petani dalam praktek budidaya bawang merah yang berpengaruh pada kondisi agroekosistem adalah: 1) penggunaan bahan kimiawi pertanian (agrochemical) secara intensif, tidak sesuai rekomendasi teknologi, baik jumlah, jenis dan cara aplikasinya, 2) ketergantungan tinggi akan bahan kimiawi pertanian, meskipun diperoleh dengan berhutang dan harga tinggi, 3) sedikit sekali kegiatan dan upaya untuk memperbaiki kualitas lahan dan air. Dampak negatif pada agroekosistem: 1) Pencemaran bahan kimiawi pertanian (agrochemical) pada sumber daya alam dan lingkungan, 2) Penurunan keanekaragaman hayati dan peningkatan kualitas serangan organisme pengganggu tanaman, dan 3) Kejenuhan produksi dan produktivitas serta penurunan daya dukung lingkungan. Rekomendasi untuk perubahan perilaku petani dan perbaikan agroekosistem antara lain adalah: 1) menerapkan teknologi budidaya sesuai rekomendasi teknis, 2) menerapkan budidaya dengan pendekatan GAP dan PHT, 3) mengintensifkan penggunaan pupuk organik dan amelioran, 4) meningkatkan dukungan program dan kegiatan untuk perbaikan kondisi agroekosistem dan penerapan budidaya yang baik, 5) peningkatan peranan lembaga penyuluhan.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Parents are key decision-makers in the immunisation practice and compliance of children. This study aimed to determine the knowledge and practice of immunisation among parents in Kelantan, Malaysia, and their associated factors.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a validated online questionnaire from May to June 2021. An invitation was distributed to parents attending a university hospital and extended families of staff through online platforms. A total of 311 parents participated in the study. The questionnaire consisted of 10 questions each on knowledge and practice and three questions on vaccination status. Descriptive analysis was performed. The associations between the sociodemographic characteristics and knowledge and practice scores were determined using the chi-square test, and predictive factors were identified using logistic regression analysis.
Results: Most respondents were Malay (94.2%), Muslim (94.5%), women (79.7%) and married (96.1%). The median score for immunisation knowledge and practice was 8 (interquartile range [IQR]=2) and 7 (IQR=3), respectively. Multiple logistic regression revealed that parents who were unmarried or single, less educated, and had lower incomes were predicted to have poor knowledge of childhood vaccination (P<0.05). Conversely, those living outside Kota Bharu, less educated, and younger parents were predicted to have poor vaccination practice of childhood vaccination (P<0.05). Most respondents (97.8%) indicated completing their children’s vaccination schedule.
Conclusion: Parental education and household income are associated with immunisation knowledge and practice. Improving access to information about childhood vaccination among targeted groups may further boost immunization coverage.

Authors: Filza Nur Athirah Tar’ali , Aina Amanina Abdul Jalil , Nor Safwan Hadi Nor Afendi
Published: February 2024

Introduction: During the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, there was a widespread public misconception regarding ivermectin use in managing the disease. There is no approval of ivermectin as COVID-19 treatment by the Food and Drug Administration, and the adverse effects of the drug are alarming. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitude towards and prevalence of ivermectin use as COVID-19 treatment among the Malaysian population.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 391 Malaysians aged ≥18 years. A validated online self-administered questionnaire disseminated via Google Forms was used to evaluate the knowledge and attitude towards and prevalence of ivermectin use as COVID-19 treatment. The socio-demographic characteristics and knowledge and attitude towards and prevalence of ivermectin use among the respondents were evaluated through descriptive analysis. The chi-square test was used to identify the association between the variables.
Results: The respondents had moderate levels of knowledge and attitude towards ivermectin use, while the prevalence of ivermectin use was 3.58%. The respondents’ sex (P=0.014), age (P=0.012) and monthly income (P=0.049) were significantly associated with their level of knowledge. The respondents’ sex (P=0.04) was significantly associated with their level of attitude. Conversely, no socio-demographic characteristics were significantly associated with the prevalence of ivermectin useas COVID-19 treatment.
Conclusion: The majority of Malaysians have moderate levels of knowledge and attitude towards ivermectin use as COVID-19 treatment, with a low prevalence of actual use.
19th Century Anglo-Indian Cuisine: Negotiations of Cultural Identities
Authors: Guha Adrija
Published: February 2024

The discourse of colonialism involves construction of specific images of both the colonizers and the colonized and more often than not, both the groups internalize these images. This process of knowledge formation helps the colonizers to perform the role of the self-appointed guardians and control their territories. Food has always been one of the most prominent indicators of cultural markers. Thus, any change in the identity of an individual or a group gets reflected in the food habits. Similarly, the effect of the process of colonization can be seen in the food habits and if we can identity these changes, we will be able to find out the colonial discourses which are working behind their implementation. This paper attempts to locate not only those discourses but also the changes in those discourses over a period of time. With reference to ‘Indian Outfits and Establishments’, written by “an Anglo-Indian”, this paper attempts to find out through a close examination of the Anglo-Indian foods and recipes, why and how the identities of the colonizers and colonized in India were created and maintained and how, eventually, they negotiated towards a culture where their identities were no longer concrete but fluid.
Ethnic Elements in Indian Population: An Overview on Racial Classifications
Authors: Banerjee Aindrila
Published: February 2024

The physical-cultural orientation of the inhabitants of modern world has evolved through centuries from a diverse range of ethnicities, possessing multiple racial traits; which came trickling down its parent sources to impact the physical-cultural elements in the people of today. This process of admixture of different racial components is largely attributed to human migration that happened across the globe since the epoch of human origin. Being a multicultural nation and a home to racial traits of multiple ethnicities, the Indian subcontinent provides an ideal scope for observing, studying and understanding how heterogeneous ethnic elements engaged, and instead of dissolving like the contents in a melting pot, retained certain qualities unique to their origins, in the process of evolution of modern Indians. This study attempts to derive a clear understanding of the concerned subject matter by discussing the observations on racial composition of Indian population, made by eminent Anthropologists like H.H. Risley, B.S. Guha, Freiherr Von Eickstedt and S.S.Sarkar. The objective of this study is to reach a conclusion regarding the socio-cultural and physiological structure associated with the 'land of diversities'.
‘Dung and death’: Waste and desire in The Waste Land
Authors: Sen Deeptesh
Published: February 2024

Much of the early poetry of T.S. Eliot embodies a rejection of sexual desire. Gabrielle McIntire in ‘Modernism, Memory, and Desire’ argues that Eliot’s poetry can be read as the “expression of desire that has reached its limit and knows it”. In fact, throughout Eliot’s poems, desire is rejected, deferred, and displaced, albeit the fact that this strategy is not always successful. Eliot espouses a poetics of failure of desire and the conflicts and compromises arising out of it. In this paper, we will argue that the sexual non-rapport is Eliot’s poetry often finds expression by a sublimation of desire. Desire, or any possibility of the sexual encounter, is turned into shit. What is left behind as the rem(a)inder is the waste. We are constantly reminded that to desire is also to be anxious of the limitations of desire, because what lies beyond desire is the fear of death.

Published: February 2024

Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) analysis is a key tool in assessing a country's competitiveness compared to others. This study uses RCA to measure Indonesia's comparative advantage in the global tuna market. The calculated RCA values show Indonesia's superiority in tuna production and exports, especially with a focus on fresh or chilled yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) with HS Code 030232. The RCA values for Indonesia, Panama, the Philippines and the Netherlands are 200, 150, 50, 350, and 400, respectively. These results confirm that Indonesia has a comparative advantage in the international tuna market, which is supported by abundant natural resources, a large fishing workforce, and a history of successful tuna exports. Despite this, challenges remain, including overfishing, the impacts of climate change, and illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. The decline in tuna production in Indonesia demands better fisheries management and international cooperation to address unsustainable practices. The Indonesian government's commitment to conservation is visible in the Tuna, Skipjack and Tuna Fisheries Management Plan. Overall, Indonesia's vibrant tuna export industry, supported by extensive marine resources, a large international market and robust infrastructure, shows significant potential. The government's commitment, combined with ongoing efforts to increase competitiveness through increased productivity, product quality, diversification and global promotion, positions Indonesia to strengthen its role as a major player in the global tuna export market.
Polymorphisms of the BMPR1B, BMP15 and GDF9 fecundity genes in four Chinese sheep breeds

Published: February 2024

Abstract. Numerous studies on prolific sheep breeds have shown that the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily members, including bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 1B (BMPR1B), bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) and growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9), are the essential regulators of ovulation rate and litter size. In total, 11 known mutations (1 in BMPR1B, 6 in BMP15 and 4 in GDF9) are able to increase the ovulation rate and litter size, respectively. In this study, the genomic DNA was isolated from 512 high-prolificacy sheep (including the Small-tailed Han, Hu and Wadi sheep breeds) and 164 low-prolificacy sheep (Tan sheep), and genotyping of the specific mutations of the three fecundity-related genes was carried out by sequencing. The results showed that the FecB mutation in BMPR1B was detected in all four sheep breeds, and the frequency of B allele was significantly higher in the high-prolificacy breeds than that in the low-prolificacy breed (P<0.001). A novel mutation, c.T755C (named S1), was found in BMP15 from the four sheep breeds. However, known mutations such as FecXI, FecXH, FecXB, FecXG, FecXL and FecXR were not detected in these breeds. Three known loci (G1, G3 and G4) and a new mutation, c.A1515G (named S2), were found in GDF9, and the other three known mutations (FecGH (G8), FecGE and FecTT) were not detected in all four sheep breeds. The genotype distribution at the G1 and G4 loci had significant differences between the low-prolificacy sheep breed and the other three high-prolificacy sheep breeds. There was no difference in the genotype distribution at the G1 and G4 loci between the three high-prolificacy sheep breeds. Haplotype analysis of the four polymorphic loci in GDF9 suggested that H4 (GGAA) was the preponderant haplotype in the three high-prolificacy sheep breeds, but H1 (GGGG) was in the low-prolificacy sheep breed. These results preliminarily showed that the BMPR1B and GDF9 might be major genes influencing the prolificacy of Chinese sheep breeds.
The impact of bedrock meander cutoffs on 50 ka-year-scale incision rates, San Juan River, Utah
Authors: Steelquist Aaron T. , Seixas Gustav B. , Gillam Mary L. , Saha Sourav , Moon Seulgi , Hilley George E.
Published: February 2024

Abstract. Incision rates of major rivers may reflect the effects of drainage reorganization, hillslope processes, tectonic uplift, climate, the properties of rocks into which rivers incise, and other autogenic processes. On the Colorado Plateau, incision rates along the Colorado River have been interpreted as resulting from abrupt base-level changes produced by the integration of the Colorado River system. Specifically, the integration of the Colorado River in the location of Grand Canyon is thought to have created a knickpoint, enhanced by lithologic contrasts, which is retreating upstream. While evidence exists for a <1 Ma acceleration of incision on parts of the Colorado River, uncertainty about the processes reflected in shorter-term incision rates muddies comparison with longer-term averages. In this work, we combine a cosmogenic radionuclide depth profile exposure age and post-Infrared Infrared Stimulated Luminescence (p-IR IRSL) to date fluvial deposits adjacent to the San Juan River, a major tributary of the Colorado River, near Mexican Hat, Utah. The deposits, resting on a 32 m strath surface, are constrained to be ∼28–40 ka, suggesting an incision rate of 804–1151 m Myr-1, nearly an order of magnitude higher than the long-term rate of ∼140 m Myr-1 over the past ∼1.2 Ma. We observe fluvial deposits that were abandoned due to a bedrock meander cutoff, which partially explains our accelerated incision rate. We use a simple geometric model, informed by our field data, to demonstrate how planform river evolution may, in some circumstances, increase short-term incision rates, relative to long-term incision rates. These short-term rates may also reflect a combination of autocyclic and climatic processes, which limits their ability to resolve longer-term changes in incision rate that may be related to changes in base-level or tectonics.

El dilema clínico frente a los pacientes con ergometría positiva y prueba de perfusión miocárdica con SPECT normal
Authors: Baez Julio Diego
Published: February 2024

La evaluación de la perfusión miocárdica con SPECT combina una prueba de esfuerzo (ergometría o estrés farmacológico) junto a imágenes de perfusión con radioisótopos. Este estudio es útil para establecer el diagnóstico de enfermedad arterial coronaria, estratificar el riesgo de infarto y tomar decisiones terapéuticas. Un resultado normal aporta un alto valor predictivo negativo, es decir, una muy baja probabilidad de que el paciente presente eventos cardiovasculares. El hallazgo de signos de isquemia en la ergometría podría poner en jaque el valor predictivo negativo de una perfusión normal. En presencia de este resultado, el paso siguiente es evaluar los predictores de riesgo en la ergometría, el riesgo propio del paciente en función de los antecedentes clínicos y el puntaje cálcico coronario, cuando este se encuentra disponible. Ante la presencia concomitante de otros marcadores de riesgo se sugiere completar la evaluación con un estudio anatómico. El uso de nuevas tecnologías podría mejorar la precisión en la predicción de eventos.

Published: February 2024

In this research, environmental awareness, which is included in the scope of value education, was examined in the Life Sciences textbooks, which are taught as a pivot lesson from the 1st grade to the 3rd grade of primary school, where compulsory education begins in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The research was prepared according to the qualitative research method. Content analysis method was used to analyze the obtained data. In accordance with the purpose of the research, primary school 1st, 2nd and 3rd Grade Life Sciences textbooks prepared for the 2022-2023 academic year were examined. The findings obtained from the research were divided into themes and tables were created in line with the themes obtained for each grade level. The findings obtained were supported by relevant visuals. As a result of the research, the most findings about environmental awareness were found in 3rd grade Life Science books, that is, the issue of environmental awareness was mentioned mostly in 3rd grade books. The most findings from the 3rd grade book belong to the visual field theme. The class with the least findings regarding environmental awareness is the 1st grade Life Sciences books. In the 1st grade Life Sciences books, where there were the least findings, the area where the most findings were obtained was again the visual area. In the light of the findings obtained in the research, it can be said that the Life Sciences books taught in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades of primary school are not sufficient to provide students with environmental awareness. When all the books at these three levels are examined, all themes other than the visual field have not been sufficiently processed and emphasized. At the same time, no activity was found in the books examined that would raise students to the practical level of environmental awareness. Depending on the findings obtained from the research, our suggestions include that the prepared life sciences textbooks should be rearranged on the subject of "environmental awareness and sensitivity" and include activities that will raise the students to the application level, and that these activities should be treated as a common theme not only in the life sciences book but in all courses. Key words: Life Sciences Textbook, values education, environmental awareness
Cultivating Ethical Leadership Through Legal Thinking: Strategies to Enhance Local Autonomy
Authors: Yuyao Li , Zhi Gao , Baomin Guo
Published: February 2024

In order to improve moral leadership, this paper analyzes the impact of local autonomy on leadership from the perspective of cultivating legal thinking. The corresponding data were obtained through the questionnaire, and the influencing factors of moral leadership were determined by response analysis. At the same time, with reference to the relevant domestic literature, several hypotheses are proposed. Whether there is a correlation between the relationship between moral leadership and legal thinking in local autonomy, whether legal thinking reflects public expectations, the influence of legal thinking on local autonomy strategies, and the relationship between public participation, legal thinking, ethical leadership and local autonomy strategies. The results show that the local autonomy strategy can improve moral leadership, and legal thinking can break through the inertial thinking mode and improve moral leadership, with an increase of 10%. In addition, public participation in society can promote the cultivation of legal thinking and strengthen moral leadership. Therefore, the local autonomy strategy can promote the cultivation of legal thinking and indirectly enhance moral leadership.
Examining the Nexus Between Local Governance Structures and College Students’ Cultural Identity and Confidence-Take Zhejiang as an Example
Authors: Jing Guohua
Published: February 2024

In order to give full play to the advantages of local governance structure, it is necessary to explore the influence of governance structure on college students' cultural identity and self-confidence. In this paper, a questionnaire survey was conducted on four college students in Zhejiang Province, and the regression analysis method was used to analyze the survey data. Based on the results, from the perspective of local governance structure, the relationship between local governance structure and college students' cultural identity and self-confidence is demonstrated. This paper puts forward the following hypotheses: first, whether the structure of local autonomy has an impact on the cultural identity of college students; second, whether the relationship between college students' identity and self-confidence is independent; thirdly, whether the local self-control structure can improve the self-confidence of college students; Finally, the influence and degree of local self-government structure and cultural identity of college students on college students' self-confidence. The results show that the local structure can improve the cultural level of college students, with an increase of about 10.5%, and the impact on the cultural self-confidence of college students is relatively small, indicating that there is a correlation between cultural identity and local governance structure, and the correlation between cultural self-confidence is small, and the relationship between cultural identity and self-confidence is independent. The reason for this is that the short-term effect of the local governance structure is significant, and the long-term effect is not good, so it is necessary to cooperate with social participation measures, university system and other measures to enhance students' cultural self-confidence.

Authors: Haule Liberato V.
Published: February 2024

This paper investigates the extraction and characterization of fibres from the bark of the ficus nekbudu tree. The Ficus Nekbudu Fibres (FNF) was extracted from the bark by retting in water and then treatment with sodium hydroxide solution. The extracted FNF was analysed for chemical composition, physical, tensile, surface, structural and thermal stability properties. Findings on the chemical composition indicated that FNF has cellulose (49.9 %), lignin (13.4%), ash (7.1%) and water content (8.1%). From the physical investigation it was found that FNF has density (1.42 ± 0.005 g/cm3 ) and moisture regain (9.2 ±0.3%). From mechanical investigation it was found that FNF has tenacity (2.56 ± 0.75 cN/dtex) and extension at break (9.23 ± 2.85%). SEM analysis indicated that FNF has rough surface with some surface impurities. The ATR- FTIR analysis indicates that the FNF has Total Crystallinity Index (TCI) and Lateral Order Index (LOI) of 0.52 and 0.41, respectively. Thermal analysis indicates that the FNF are stable up to 250°C.

It ensures the consistent application of standards across all organizational activities, aiming to provide timely and effective care [1]. Traditional methods for ensuring quality encompass establishing and monitoring clear standards, systematically analyzing quality-related data through statistical means, conducting retrospective medical audits, peer reviews, credentialing and accreditation processes, mortality and morbidity audits, risk management, nursing audits, utilization reviews, monitoring nosocomial infections, and evaluating provider performance. It is imperative for hospital managers and their professional associations to focus on implementing quality assurance procedures. This involves establishing fundamental criteria for both hospitals and professionals, initiating an accreditation process, and overseeing the quality of hospital care in India. Governments are also broadening their healthcare focus, emphasizing both access and quality. For instance, the government of Tamil Nadu is planning to mandate that all hospitals certified under the TNCM Scheme meet or exceed the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals in India's (NABH) basic minimal requirements [2].

India has the highest share of global neonatal deaths, accounting for approximately 30% of all neonatal fatalities worldwide. Despite the annual birth of 26 million babies in India, nearly 940,000 infants do not survive the first month of life [1]. According to the SRS 2015 report, neonatal mortality comprises roughly half of under-5 deaths in the country, with an Under-5 Mortality Rate (U-5MR) of 43 per 1000 live births. Neonatal deaths contribute to two-thirds of all infant deaths, with a Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR) of 25 per 1000 live births and an Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) of 37 per 1000 live births [1].

The 1978 Alma Ata declaration stressed the significance of Primary Health Care and underscored the essential role played by Community Health Workers (CHWs) in bridging communities with the healthcare system. The concept of involving community members in delivering vital health services to their communities has been present for at least five decades. Diverse programs, spanning from extensive national initiatives to community-based endeavors, have been implemented globally [1]. Activities such as the Village Health and Nutrition Days (VHND) are planned in the village on specific days, locations, and times through collaborative initiatives between the health and women and child development departments. However, due to inadequate dissemination of guidelines for conducting outreach sessions, health workers often encounter challenges in understanding their roles [2]. The data reflects that the VHND sessions are being organized as per the immunization session roaster of the villages and the services related to immunization are only being provided rather than providing all basic health services [3].
STUDY ON KNOWLEDGE, AWARENESS AND PRACTICES OF BIOMEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT AND INFECTION CONTROL AMONG HOSPITAL STAFF AT CIVIL HOSPITAL, ROPAR (GOVERNMENT OF PUNJAB)

Waste produced during the diagnosis, treatment, or immunisation of humans or animals, as well as during related research, the creation and testing of biological products, or health camps, is all included in the category of biomedical waste. This has an impact on the environment in addition to being a major burden for hospitals. In order to reduce negative consequences on the environment and public health arising from waste generated during patient care, hospitals must manage biomedical waste effectively. Hospital waste management, which includes operations like collection, transportation, operation or treatment of processing systems, and waste disposal, is an essential component of hospital hygiene and maintenance activities, according to a 1998 notification from the Government of India[1,2].
ASSESSMENT OF PREVALENCE OF ANAEMIA AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS AMONG WOMEN OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE IN RAJASTHAN

A reduction in the quantity of red blood cells or in the amount of hemoglobin present in these cells is known as anemia. Anaemia reduces the amount of hemoglobin in the blood, which lowers the bloods ability to deliver oxygen to the tissues and, ultimately, the organs. Several variables, including age, sex, elevation of the place of residence, smoking habits, and pregnant status, affect the necessary hemoglobin concentration to satisfy physiological requirements [1]. The primary reason for anemia is a shortage of iron, responsible for nearly half of all global cases of anemia. Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) results from a significant lack of iron, leading to a reduction in hemoglobin levels in the blood. This condition poses adverse health effects, particularly for children, adolescents, and pregnant women [2]. Additional causes of anemia encompass deficiencies in vitamin A, B12, and folic acid, bleeding, parasitic infections like malaria and hookworms causing helminthic infestations, as well as other inherited conditions like sickle cell disease and thalassemia, along with chronic diseases such as renal failure and cancer, among others [3]. Pregnant women, women aged 15–49, adolescents, and children under the age of five are among the population categories most at risk for anemia [4]. Africa and Asia have the greatest rates of anemia prevalence, exceeding 35 percent. 0.8–1.5 percent of the same population suffer from severe anemia, which can have a fatal effect as well as detrimental effects on cognitive and functional abilities. The WHO South-east Asia Region's demographics with the highest prevalence of anaemia include pregnant women (11.5 million), children under the age of five (96.7 million), and non-pregnant women (190 million) [4].
A STUDY TO REVIEW THE EXISTING HEALTH FINANCING SYSTEMS OF FOUR SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN COUNTRIES AND MEASURING THEIR PROGRESS TOWARDS ACHIEVING UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE
Authors: Ganguly Dr. Sourav , Das Dr. Arindam
Published: February 2024

The concept and goal of universal health coverage (UHC) were first used in policy conversations and decisions with the release of the World Health Report in 2010. UHC is defined by the World Health Organization as a situation in which everyone in need of healthcare services may access them without experiencing financial hardship. The supply of high-quality healthcare services and the accessibility of financial risk protection for all people are the two main points of emphasis in this concept [1]. African countries are considering, or have already adopted, policy measures aimed at achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) to guarantee healthcare accessibility for everyone. A few African regions have experienced significant economic growth and a decline in poverty in recent times. Research conducted by the African Development Bank indicates that between 2001 and 2014, real gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 5%, which is a significant improvement from the two percent growth that occurred in the 1980s and 1990s [2].

The butterfly effect is a theory that has been applied to business, economics, and even human lives in addition to the weather. The butterfly effect is also used figuratively, outside of technical contexts, to illustrate how seemingly little occurrences or acts may have significant effects on a person's life. The butterfly effect is a term that people use colloquially to describe, defend, or explain how something little got out of hand in speech and writing [1].
MONITORING DISCHARGE PROCESS TURN AROUND TIME FOR SMOOTH FUNCTIONING OF IN-PATIENT DEPARTMENT
Authors: Tripathi Arpit , Das Dr. Arindam
Published: February 2024

As per NABH, discharge refers to the process in which a patient is released from the hospital with accompanying medical reports confirming stability. The discharge procedure concludes when the patient leaves the clinical unit after receiving formal approval from the consultant. The patient's discharge process is intricate and initiates with the doctor's recommendation, which is grounded in the patient's clinical report. Subsequent steps include the preparation of the discharge summary, bill generation, approval from the pharmacy, and settlement of the bill. It is a multistage process which requires effective communications from different departments – inpatients and administrative department. Clinical, financial, legal, and administrative records are all kept as a part of the process. The patient suffering from chronic disease gets admitted to the critical care unit or inpatient department. So, the time taken by the hospital for discharge is an important indicator for patient satisfaction. NABH has established a benchmark of 180 minutes as the standard for completing the discharge process. Therefore, ensuring an acceptable discharge time gives the organization a competitive advantage. The transition of patients from the hospital to home can be a more precarious process, prompting the initiation of a study agenda for care transitions [1].
ASSESSMENT OF OUTPATIENT WAITING TIME USING HMIS AND OBSERVATIONAL DATA OF TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL IN KOLKATA, WEST BENGAL, INDIA
Authors: Pal Subrata Rudra , Das Dr. Arindam
Published: February 2024

Outpatient services are crucial for the hospital, acting as the entry point to its services. The patient's perception of the hospital is often shaped during their visit to the Outpatient Department (OPD), and this initial impression significantly impacts their overall sensitivity to the hospital [1]. Patient satisfaction is negatively correlated with waiting time, which is the amount of time a patient must wait in a clinic or hospital before seeing clinical staff [2]. According to the Institute of Medicine, around 90% of patients ought to be checked out within 30 minutes of their appointment time [3]. Waiting times can have a detrimental impact on patients' use of health services by influencing their propensity to visit the clinic again, which can eventually compromise continuity of care. Thus, cutting down on wait times may enhance patient satisfaction and make them more inclined to stay at the same hospital for their medical needs [4].
