Cruce léxico e interfaz morfo-fonológica: hacia un sistema integral para la morfología no concatenativa
Authors: Bohrn Andrea
Published: December 2024

Analizaremos aquí el cruce léxico o blending, proceso de formación de palabras que consiste en la combinación o superposición de dos bases, de forma tal que la unidad resultante reúne un segmento inicial correspondiente a la primera base y un segmento final correspondiente a la segunda (almuerzo + cena> almuercena; tarado + estúpido> tarúpido). Determinaremos cuál es la estructura descriptivamente adecuada para estas palabras, como así también especificaremos cómo se lleva a cabo el cruce léxico en un marco construccionista como el de la Morfología Distribuida. Nuestra hipótesis de partida sostiene que el blending se produce a partir de una conformación estructural determinada, la presencia de rasgos evaluativos y una serie de procesos de reajuste en la interfaz morfo-fonológica, que, puntualmente, implican la eliminación de una parte de la estructura fonológica en función de patrones acentuales. No consideramos que sea un proceso estrictamente morfológico (contra Nóbrega, 2023) ni estrictamente fonológico (contra Bauer, 1983), sino que implica la articulación de ambas instancias en la interfaz morfo-fonológica.

Статья посвящена нутритивной и респираторной поддержке пациентов с боковым амиотрофическим склерозом. Нутритивные и дыхательные нарушения относятся к самым частым осложнениям бокового амиотрофического склероза. Стратегия лечения пациентов с боковым амиотрофическим склерозом направлена на поддержание питания и респираторной функции, что позволяет замедлить прогрессирование болезни. Нутритивная поддержка пациентов с боковым амиотрофическим склерозом с соблюдением высококалорийной диеты и дробного питания помогает снизить скорость потери массы тела. Пациентам с умеренной или выраженной дисфагией необходимо устанавливать гастростому. Пациентам с признаками дыхательной недостаточности следует назначать неинвазивную вентиляцию легких, в более сложных случаях рассматривать вопрос об искусственной вентиляции легких. Важными аспектами являются регулярный мониторинг респираторных и нутритивных показателей и индивидуализированный подход, адаптированный к стадии заболевания. Все методы по нутритивной и респираторной поддержке пациентов с боковым амиотрофическим склерозом направлены на продление и улучшение качества жизни.

The article is dedicated to nutritional and respiratory support for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Nutritional and respiratory disorders are among the most frequent complications of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The treatment strategy for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is focused on maintaining nutrition and respiratory function to slow the disease progression. The nutritional support for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with high-calorie diet and split meals helps to reduce the rate of body weight loss. Patients with moderate to severe dysphagia should be fitted by a gastrostomy. Patients with signs of respiratory failure should be prescribed non-invasive ventilation, and in more complicated cases artificial ventilation should be considered. A regular monitoring of respiratory and nutritional indicators and an individualized approach adapted to the disease stage are essential. All methods of nutritional and respiratory support for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are intended for prolonging and improving the quality of life.

Published: December 2024

Периневральные кисты зрительных нервов – редкая патология. Под нашим наблюдением находился пациент с расширением периневральных пространств зрительных нервов по данным предыдущих МРТ, с жалобами на зрительные нарушения и приступообразные головные боли. При дообследовании выявлены периневральные кисты обоих зрительных нервов на фоне нормального внутричерепного давления и неврологического статуса без патологии. В течение двух лет наблюдения за пациентом его состояние оставалось стабильным, без отрицательной динамики со стороны зрительной функции, данных нейровизуализации и неврологического статуса. Обнаружение периневральных кист зрительных нервов требует детального дообследования пациента для выявления признаков и возможных причин внутричерепной гипертензии и своевременного обнаружения признаков прогрессирования заболевания.

Perineural cysts of optic nerves are a rare pathology. We observed a patient with dilated perineural spaces of the optic nerves, as revealed by previous MRI scans, with complaints of visual disturbances and episodic headaches. A further examination revealed perineural cysts of both optic nerves against the background of normal intracranial pressure and no pathology of neurological status. During two years of follow-up, the patient’s condition remained stable with no negative changes in visual function, neuroimaging findings or neurological status. Detecting perineural cysts of the optic nerves requires a thorough further examination of the patient to identify signs and possible causes of intracranial hypertension, as well as to timely detect signs of the disease progression
Determination of the Effect of Different Extraction Methods on Aloe barbadensis Miller (Aloe Vera) Extract and its Usability in Ayran
Authors: Seyrekoğlu Fadime
Published: December 2024

The Aloe barbadensis Miller (Aloe vera) plant has been gaining increasing popularity in recent years, especially in the fields of health and cosmetics. Its use in the food industry has also been on the rise late. There is particularly growing interest in its application as an edible film and coating because of its unique structure and composition. In this study, Aloe vera gel and leaf parts were evaluated separately. As extraction methods, maceration and ultrasonic wave-assisted extraction methods were used, and ethanol, water, and ethanol/water (1:1) mixtures were used as solvents. The effects of different extraction methods and solvents on the extracts were investigated. The total phenolic substance content, DPPH scavenging activity, and total flavonoid substance content of the obtained extracts were calculated. The usability of the obtained Aloe vera gel was then investigated in ayran. Sensory analyses were performed on ayran samples obtained by adding ayran at different rates. The highest amount of phenolic substance in Aloe vera gel was calculated as 508.80 mg GAE /g in the extract obtained using water as the solvent and the ultrasonic wave-assisted extraction method as the method. The highest DPPH scavenging activity 27.06% was detected in Aloe vera gel under the same extraction conditions. When we evaluated the total amount of flavonoids, the highest amount was found to be 163.79 mgQE/g when ethanol/water mixture was used as a solvent in the maceration method. In the extract obtained from Aloe vera leaf, where ethanol:water (1:1) solvent was used as solvent and ultrasonic wave-assisted extraction, the highest amount of phenolic substance was 597.63 mg GAE /g, the highest DPPH activity was 66.38%, and the highest total amount of flavonoid substance was 409.20 mg QE /g. When we evaluated the results generally, the amount of total phenolic substance, DPPH scavenging activity, and total amount of flavonoid substance increased in direct proportion to each other. Compounds with phenolic and flavonoid properties increased with DPPH scavenging activity. Aloe vera gel was added to ayran samples at different rates (%1.25, 2.5 and 5). Samples of ayran added at a rate of 1.25% received scores similar to those of the control group without any addition. Other samples of ayran also received high scores from the panelists. In this study, the extraction conditions of Aloe vera gel and leaf were optimized and their usage possibilities in ayran were evaluated.

Published: December 2024

The queen is the only individual that carries a colony of bees and has the ability to reproduce. In this study, the level of stress proteins (Hsp70) was determined in mated and virgin queens reared under the same conditions in colonies of honey bee breeds and ecotypes in Turkey. When the effects of mating were examined, it was found that the stress protein content of mated queens was significantly lower than that of non-mated queens (p<0.05). It was also found that Hsp70 stress protein levels were lower in Thrace, Yığılca and Goekçeada ecotypes, which are the sub-ecotypes of the Anatolian bee, compared to other ecotypes and races. As a result, the Thrace, Goekçeada and Yığılca ecotypes, which are the ecotypes of the Anatolian bee, were found to have better adaptive abilities than the others.

The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant and antiapoptotic effects of Primula vulgaris extract against methotrexate (MTX)-induced testicular damage. In this study, 4 groups were formed with 8 rats in each group. Rats in group 1 were given 0.8 mg/kg physiological serum via gavage for 7 days. The rats in group 2 were administered a single dose (30 mg/kg) of MTX intraperitoneally on the first day of the study. The rats in group 3 were administered a single dose (30 mg/kg) of MTX on the first day of the study and then 100 mg/kg of aqueous extract via gavage for 7 days starting from the first day. The rats in group 4 were given 100 mg/kg of aqueous extract via gavage for 7 days. On the 8th day, the testicles and epididymis of the rats were removed under anesthesia and their blood was collected. The removed testicles were used for histological and biochemical analyses. When group 2 was compared with group 1, it was determined that seminiferous tubule diameter, epithelial thickness, sperm count, motility, vitality, and Johnsen scoring values decreased; tubule number that immature cells sloughed into the lumen and apoptotic index (AI) increased. In group 3, it was observed that seminiferous tubule diameter, epithelial thickness, sperm count, motility, vitality, and Johnsen scoring values increased; tubule number that immature cells sloughed into the lumen and AI decreased compared to group 2. When group 2 was compared with group 1, it was found that MDA values increased, and SOD and CAT values decreased in blood plasma and testicular tissue. According to the study results, it was determined that MTX caused damage to the testicle by creating oxidative stress, while Primula vulgaris reduced this damage thanks to its antioxidant effects.

Published: December 2024

Global utilization of different types of plastics has been increasing over the years due to its many useful properties. However, disposal of plastic waste has been a challenge all over the world and Nigeria is not an exception. As the most populous country in Africa, Nigeria is among the highest consumer of plastic products. Plastic waste generation was considered using three different scenario that considered forecasted gross domestic production up to 2050. The results indicated that plastic production rate in Nigeria is linear as against plastic consumption rate which is exponential. The result estimates from 2020 to 2050 revealed that plastic consumption in Nigeria doubles every 9 years which was validated using the doubling time equation. However, substantial reduction was achieved if enhanced plastic waste management technologies is adopted. Further reduction is achievable through reuse, recycle and implementation of hierarchical waste management strategies.
Alternative marine fuels for cleaner maritime transport
Authors: Gasparotti Carmen
Published: December 2024

To reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, according to the vision of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), a good decision-making process is needed for the classification of alternative marine fuels considered as a solution for the decarbonization of maritime transport. The paper aims to classify two alternative fuels (Liquefied natural gas (LNG) and green hydrogen obtained by electrolysis of water, in relation to four criteria (economic, technical, environmental, and social) using the specialized literature. The evaluation of the two fuels in relation to the selected criteria was carried out from a multicriteria perspective using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The obtained results have shown that LNG is the best option, currently, for maritime transport, considering the operational cost, the available infrastructure, the impact on the climate, and operational safety.

Authors: Gheorghe Alexandru George , Cristea Anișoara - Gabriela
Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze and compare the influence of steel flat bar beveling around technological cutouts on the stress state of a chemical tanker with a deadweight of 35,622 tons (TDW). Technological cutouts, which are essential for the installation of equipment, passage of cables, and other functional purposes, can cause stress concentration in the ship's structure, increasing the risk of cracking and localized failure. To assess the impact of beveling, two structural models are compared: one with steel plate beveling and one without. Using finite element analysis (FEM) through FEMAP/NX Nastran software, stresses and displacements around the cutouts are examined at four representative points along the cutout’s circumference. The results reveal significant differences in stress distribution between the two models, demonstrating the effectiveness of beveling in reducing local stress concentrations. This study provides insights into improving structural integrity and safety in ship design by addressing the risks associated with technological cutouts.

Published: December 2024

The paper presents aspects related the influence of the global gases emissions reduction targets on the design and performances of a propulsion system for a bulk carrier. In a first stage, the key elements of the ship propulsion system: main engine and propeller have been chosen and designed. The aim was to obtain the maximum propulsive efficiency at the owner desired speed. Different combinations: diesel engine-optimal propeller have been designed and analysed from the efficiency point of view. In a second stage, considering the mandatory IMO regulations concerning CO2 emissions, the EEDI (Energy Efficiency De sign Index) has been computed for every designed case. To compliance EEDI targets, it was been necessary to reduce the ship speed, and a new propulsion system with lower speed performances has been designed. In this study, ship hull shapes were given and EEDI be came an important and critical factor in the design of the ship propulsion system. Other potential pathways to achieve emissions reduction targets will need to be identify in a future study.

Published: December 2024

The aim of this study was to determine the macroscopic features of the os penis of the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), as well as radiographic images and morphometric measurements using a digital electronic caliper. In this study, 4 adult male red fox os penises, which were previously brought dead from nature by students and whose skeletons were exhibited in our anatomy museum, were used. Macroscopic and morphometric measurements were taken and anatomical structures were analysed by radiographic imaging. Os penis is thicker at the proximal end and tapers towards the distal end, terminating in a cartilaginous tip. There are three margins, one dorsal and two ventrolateral to the sulcus urethiralis. The dorsal edge forms a crista on the median of the bone, extending from proximal to distal. The crista becomes shallow at the distal 1/3 of the bone and disappears completely at the cartilaginous end. Sulcus urethralis is found on the ventral side Os penis of the Red Fox measured as, length of the os penis 56.70mm, Distal diameter 2.96mm, Proximal diameter 3.85mm, length of the sulcus urethralis 35.13mm, width of sulcus urethralis 2.95mm, length of the fibrous cartilaginous tissue 5.70, width of the fibrous cartilaginous tissue 1.77mm. As a result, it has been observed that the os penis of the red fox, which is a part of wildlife, is similar to the other members of the team, the dogs, and radiographic images have been combined with new techniques and a literary contribution has been made. Wild animal anatomy has been supported by more detailed examination of these species. It is thought that the data obtained in the study can be used in future morphometric, zoo-archaeological and taxonomic studies.

Published: December 2024

Some economic theories support the use of technology as a source of economic growth. The objective was to perform an analysis of people who do not use computers in Mexico, associating their gender, area of residence, age, education and socioeconomic status. The research was descriptive, and a cluster analysis was performed using an unsupervised analysis method with a sample size of 27,923 people. It was found that the Rural Group of People do not use the computer because they do not know how to use it and because of a lack of economic resources, in addition to having a lower educational level and younger age. It is concluded that the government should focus public policies on favoring these groups in rural communities and consider urban groups of men who do not use the computer because they are not interested in using it and do not have access to it. Likewise, at the country level there is a digital gender gap.

Introduction: Recent studies have shown that ultrasound (US) assessment of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with associated fibromyalgia (FM) before disease-modifying antirheumatic drug escalation is primordial. The goal of this study was to assess the correlation between clinical and US disease activity in RA patients with concomitant FM comparatively to RA patients without FM. Specifically, we aimed to identify the predictive factors of detection of active US-synovitis. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study that included patients with diagnosis of RA (ACR/EULAR 2010 criteria) with and without concomitant FM (ACR 2016). US-detected synovitis was defined and scored 0-3 using the OMERACT scoring system at the joint level for both grey-scale (GS) and Doppler power (DP). Multiple linear regression analysis performed, adjusting for clinical and demographic variables. Results: Eighty patients distributed into 40 patients in each group were recruited. No significant difference was observed between the groups in regards to mean DAS28 and the three-variables (DAS28 V3). Multiple linear regression showed that in RA+FM group US synovitis detection was positively associated with male gender (B=0.29, p=0.04) and with the DAS28 V3 (B=0.87, p=0.014), and negatively associated with the patient global assessment (PGA) (B=-0.49, p=0.004). Doppler activity was positively associated with the DAS28 V3 (B=0.51,p=0.002) and with the physician global assessment (B=0.55, p=0.02), negatively associated with the PGA (B=-0.65, p=0.005). Conclusion: Our study showed that a high DAS28 V3 seems to be significantly associated with active US-synovitis in RA patients with comorbid FM.

Behavioral Factors of Reproductive Health in Russians
Authors: Sharypova Sofya Yu.
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Today, demographic issues are in the focus of attention in a whole number of countries. Birth rate is one of the most important indicators largely dependent on the level of reproductive health of the population. Patterns of health and sexual behavior, including the use of contraception, are among the significant direct factors of reproductive health.
Objective: To analyze health and sexual (contraceptive) behavior as determinants of reproductive health in Russians.
Materials and methods: This is the secondary analysis of responses of the formalized surveys conducted by the Analytical Center “National Agency for Financial Research” in 2024 involving 3,000 respondents, by the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center in 2023 involving 1,845 respondents, and by the “Mikhailov and Partners. Analytics” Agency in 2021 covering 2,005 people, all devoted to issues of reproductive and sexual health and behavior. SPSS Statistics and Microsoft Excel were used for data analysis.
Results: The Russians consider sexually transmitted diseases to be the main risk factor for reproductive health, so they pay more attention to practicing safe sex than to being able to conceive and bear a child (8.64 versus 6.43 out of 10). Barrier (condoms) and calendar methods of birth control are popular with 65 % and 26 % of the respondents, respectively, while 21 % of the respondents do not use contraceptives. Less than 35 % examine their reproductive health annually. Only 38 % of the respondents are ready to use assisted reproductive technologies to overcome infertility.
Conclusions: Reproductive health of Russian people is at risk because of low efficiency of contraceptive behavior noted for predominance of the rhythm method of birth control and refusal of contraceptives due to misinformation about their side effects and low health activity in the field of reproduction and sex, including a lack of interest in assisted reproductive technologies.

Published: December 2024

Goeppertia louisae, formerly classified under the
genus Calathea, is a perennial species of the
Marantaceae family, renowned for its striking
foliage and nyctinastic leaf movements, commonly
referred to as "prayer plant" behavior. Native to the
tropical rainforests of South America, particularly
Brazil and Colombia, it thrives in the humid,
shaded understory of these ecosystems. Widely
cultivated as an ornamental plant, G. louisae is
appreciated for its broad, green leaves with intricate
light-green patterns and purple undersides, making
it a popular choice for indoor gardening. Despite its
horticultural popularity, there is limited research on
its ecological roles and medicinal potential.
This review explores the taxonomy, morphology,
distribution, and cultivation methods of G. louisae,
highlighting its unique adaptations to low-light
environments, such as its nyctinastic behavior.
Additionally, potential applications in biomedicine
and environmental conservation are discussed.
While related species in the Marantaceae family
have demonstrated antioxidant, antimicrobial, and
anti-inflammatory properties, further
phytochemical research on G. louisae is needed to
evaluate its bioactive compounds. The plant’s role
in maintaining biodiversity and soil health within
its native habitat also underscores its ecological
importance. By providing a comprehensive
overview of Goeppertia louisae, this review
emphasizes the need for further scientific
investigations to unlock its full potential in
horticulture, pharmacology, and conservation.

selected baclofen for the sake of repurposing.
Baclofen was systematically studied for its in-vitro
anti-muscarinic actions by using chicken ileum. We
have evaluated the anti-muscarinic actions of the
drug by applying various quantifying techniques of
bio-assay. The systematic approach in invitro
studies have been adopted in this experimental
study with standard environmental and laboratory
conditions. The experiments were performed in
duplicate simultaneously to minimize the chance of
manual errors and practical bias. The study result
showed that, baclofenhaspronounced antimuscarinic actions with an IC-50 value of 1.6

Traditional medicine is an important source of
potentially useful new compounds for the
development of chemotherapeutic agents. Moringa
oleifera is the most widely cultivated species of a
monogenetic family and Citrus sinesis is from
familyRutaceae. Moringa oleifera is a tree
cultivated originally in northern India, whose
ancient use as a medicine has demonstrated its
antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
properties.Moringa oleifera, often referred to as the
drumstick tree, has gained attention for its potential
sun-protective properties. The formulation of
herbal UV protective sunscreens using orange peel
powder and moringa powder presents a promising
natural alternative to conventional sunscreens. Both
ingredients offer a wide range of skin benefits that
extend beyond UV protection, such as antioxidant,
anti-inflammatory, and skin-brightening properties.
Orange peel powder, rich in Vitamin C and
flavonoids, contributes to neutralizing free radicals
and enhancing collagen synthesis, while moringa
powder, packed with bioactive compounds like
zeatin and quercetin, provides additional
antioxidant and anti-aging effects.This herbal

The term Kriya kala refers to the
stage of a disease’s Progress. This concept is
mostly compared with disease Pathogenesis.
kriyakala means the time of treatment in the
process of disease menifestation. Acharya Susrutha
has described detail idea of Shatkriyakala in 21st
chapter of Sutrasthana. Shatkriyakala include six
stages viz Sanchaya, Prakopa, Prasara,
Sthansamshraya, Vyaktavastha and Bhedavastha.
That means 6 (the number Six). Kriya means
Actionor treatment. Kala means Time or period. So
Shatkriyakala means ‘Appropriate time Periods to
take action/treatment. The Prayojana of Ayurveda
is of two types, Maintainance of health a healthy
Person, by adopting the Ritucharya, Dincharya and
Sadvritta and curing of a disease of diseased
Person, by adopting thereapeutic measures.[1]
Before Studying the Pathological conditions of the
body, a Physician has to first study the function and
structures of the body on the basic of dosa, dushya
and Srotas. At that time kriya Kala helps the doctor
to adopt line of treatment by Seeing the vitiated
dosha condition by his intellect and knowledge.[2]
A Review paper of the spectroscopy

One scientific method for examining how matter
and electromagnetic waves interact is spectroscopy.
By examining how different substances absorb,
emit, or scatter light, one can gain insight into their
composition, structure, and qualities.
The study of how matter absorbs and emits light
and other radiations is known as spectroscopy.
Similar to how a prism splits light into a rainbow, it
entails dividing light, or electromagnetic radiation,
into its component wavelengths, or spectrum.
One significant and cutting-edge analytical tool
employed in the pharmaceutical business over the
past 35 years is ultraviolet spectroscopy. The
analytical technique measures the amount of
monochromatic light absorbed by colourless
substances in the near ultraviolet (200–400) range.
The processes required to ascertain the "identity,
strength, quality and purity" of such chemicals are
included in the pharmaceutical analysis. It also
covers the examination of raw materials and
intermediates used in the pharmaceutical
production process. A spectrophotometer covering
the ultraviolet range operates on the basic principle
of light passing through a solvent-filled cell and
onto a photoelectric cell, which converts radiant
energy into electrical energy that is measured
by a galvanometer

Published: December 2024

The importance of finding effective and sustainable
ways to control pesticide contamination in
agricultural settings has sparked interest in
biocatalytic strategies, which make use of enzymes
and nanotechnology. The extraction of enzymes
from agricultural waste, specifically, rice husk and
the conjugation of enzyme with nanoparticle such
as silica intended for efficient pesticide
biodegradation are the main objective of this work.
This study investigates a novel method for
releasing the enzymes from rice husk using
enzymatic hydrolysis, pre-treatment to degrade the
husk, and purifying processes to produce an
enzyme preparation with high activity and
specificity. The goal of encapsulation with
nanoparticle is to improve the stability of the
enzymes, shield them from environmental
stressors, and sustain their catalytic activity for
extended periods of time. The results may help
safeguard the environment and public health by
facilitating the creation of practical, long-term
solutions for controlling pesticide contamination in
environmental and agricultural situations
Origin of electromagnetic wave amplification in 20-μm-diameter plasmonic whispering gallery mode resonators: the effects of long-range surface plasmons and low effective refractive indices
Authors: Takaishi Minami , Komino Takeshi
Published: December 2024

Bowl-shaped 20-μm-diameter plasmonic whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonators were fabricated from individual metals (Al, Ag, or Au) and organic materials, including the blue emitter terfluorene. Although the upper size limit for resonators using propagating surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) is generally the SPP propagation length (

L

S
PP

), the resonators that were fabricated with Al or Ag showed the required electromagnetic field amplification, despite the resonator sizes being two orders of magnitude greater than

L

S
PP

for both bulk Al and Ag (<1 μm in the blue region). To investigate the origin of the amplification realized in these resonators, we simulated and compared the

L

S
PP

values in bulk metals, slab-type waveguides, and the WGM resonators. The simulations showed that

L

S
PP

values that are as long as the WGM perimeters and the lower effective refractive indices in the WGMs play the main roles in overcoming the size limitations for these plasmonic resonators.

Published: December 2024

The ability to move the lower extremities in individuals who have suffered from a stroke presents significant challenges to daily mobility and function. We conducted a systematic evaluation to compare the effectiveness of physical rehabilitation following a stroke. We searched six databases (PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, Springer, Portal Garuda, and Nature Portfolio) for publications published before November 2023. The researchers recruited stroke patients and used a validated scale to assess lower extremity strength and walking capacity in post-stroke patients. We used the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist to evaluate the quality of the papers that met the inclusion criteria. The PRISMA checklist was used to report the study. We identified nine relevant articles that discussed various rehabilitation methods for stroke patients with lower extremity impairment. We examined the specificity of these results using a statistical parameter. The findings were as follow: Biofeedback cycling (P < 0.001); Pelvic Stability Training (P < 0.05); Exoskeleton for post-stroke recovery of ambulation (ExStRA) (P < 0.05); Aerobic Cycling (P < 0.001); Somatosensory Training (P < 0.001), Lower-extremity constraint-induced movement therapy (P < 0.001), Motor imagery with circuit class therapy (P < 0.001), Robotic gait training (P < 0.05), and Early and Intensive (P < 0.001). Various rehabilitation methods discussed in the article demonstrate high effectiveness in improving lower extremity function. These methods include biofeedback cycling, aerobic cycling, somatosensory training, movement therapy, motor imagery combined with structured progressive circuit therapy classes, and early and intensive rehabilitation after ischemic stroke.

Published: December 2024

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a neuropathy of the wrist caused by the compression within the carpal tunnel, which puts pressure on the median nerve. Riding a motorcycle combines the risk factors for CTS, including grip strength and repetitive movements. The flexibility of working hours has led to an increase in the number of online motorcycle taxi workers. This research uses a cross-sectional design, and the sample consisted of 82 individuals selected using purposive sampling technique. Research data were processed using the Chi-Square test. The duration of motorcycle riding, categorized as either ≥8 hours per day or <8 hours per day, is associated with a risk of developing CTS. The results of the questionnaire indicated that the most common CTS symptoms reported by ojek online workers was tingling, experienced by 70.73% of respondents, while the least reported symptom was difficulty grasping or using small objects, reported by 23.17% of participants. The Chi-Square analysis test revealed no significant difference in the incidence of CTS complaints between those who rode motorbike for ≥8 hours and thos who rode <8 hours per day among Ojek Online workers in Cimahi (pvalue 0.635). This insignificant difference may be due to other risk factors that influence the emergence of CTS in Ojek Online workers.

A doctor's professionalism consists of clinical competence, communication skills, ethical and legal understanding, accountability, altruism, excellence, and humanism, of which the seven pillars of professionalism are applied at the professional level. This research aimed to describe patient perceptions of the professionalism of junior interns at Dustira Teaching Hospital. Data collection occurred in November-December 2022. This research utilized a quantitative approach, employing a descriptive research method with a cross-sectional design. The study results, which included patient characteristics such as age, sex, education level, and length of stay based on the seven pillars, showed the following outcomes: clinical ability (97.6%), communication skills (95.4%), understanding of ethics and law (92%), accountability (94.8%), altruism (90.8%), and excellence (94.4%) all fell within the very good category. In contrast, the aspect of humanism (66.2%) was only rated as quite good. Researchers suggest that institutions and junior interns should re-evaluate the learning and application of the professionalism among junior interns. While aspects of humanism are generally considered positive, there is still room for improvement. Therefore, further learning and re-evaluation regarding the professionalism aspect of humanism can be beneficial.
