Authors: Khasanah Faridatul , Kholid Rosyidi Muhammad Nur  , Kurniawati Yulia , Arik Mulyanti Ni Made
Published: September 2024

Falling risk is an increased sensitivity to falling that can result in physical injury and health problems. Nurses play a crucial role in reducing the risk of falls among patients in hospitals; therefore, nurses must adhere to established fall prevention protocols. The aim of this study is to assess nurses' compliance in implementing fall prevention measures for post-operative patients in the Jepun Room of Bali Mandara Regional General Hospital. The research design used is descriptive analysis in the form of a case study, with the study population consisting of 3 nurses from the Jepun Room at Bali Mandara Regional General Hospital. This study observes nurses' compliance in implementing fall risk prevention measures for patients. Based on observations, it was found that the implementation of mild fall risk prevention measures by 3 responsible nurses achieved 100% compliance. Specifically, ensuring non-slip footwear was applied 100% on the first day, with the lowest application being 0% on day 2 and 3. Meanwhile, measures such as providing patient orientation, obtaining patient consent to keep night lights on, and ensuring walking aids are within reach (if used) were never implemented, also at 0%. Regarding moderate fall risk prevention measures by these nurses, it was found that implementation was 100%. However, the installation of fall risk signs outside patient rooms had 0% implementation. From these findings, the role of these nurses as care coordinators in implementing fall risk prevention measures for patients is crucial to prevent undesired incidents.

Background: Acute spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are devastating events often leading to irreversible neurological damage and significant long-term disabilities. SCIs affect young, otherwise healthy individuals, contributing to a considerable economic and quality-adjusted life years (QALY) burden. Aim: This review aims to provide an overview of current acute management strategies for SCI and to explore emerging therapeutic approaches that may mitigate injury progression and improve outcomes. Methods: The study reviewed existing literature on SCI management, including established protocols and experimental therapies. A comprehensive analysis of surgical and medical treatments, such as early decompression, hemodynamic management, and novel interventions targeting ischemia, inflammation, and cytotoxicity, was conducted. Results: Early surgical decompression, within 24 hours of injury, has been shown to enhance neurological recovery, reduce hospital stays, and lower complication rates. Hemodynamic management, aiming to maintain a mean arterial pressure of 85–90 mmHg, was crucial in improving functional outcomes. Experimental treatments such as cerebrospinal fluid diversion, spinal cooling, and minocycline demonstrated promising results, though further clinical trials are necessary to establish efficacy. Conclusion: While significant advances have been made in the surgical management of SCI, challenges remain in optimizing medical treatments.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the importance of implementing a customized motor sensory physiotherapy program by recording data about the total days spent and weight gain of preterm infants in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Methods: Randomized clinical trial of a sample of thirty (30) preterm infants split in two 15-member groups, one intervention group and one control group. An adapted program of motor sensory physiotherapy techniques, while in NICU, was implemented to the intervention group while nothing was implemented to the control group. Both groups met the same entry criteria. The same protocol of motor sensory physiotherapy was applied in the intervention group during the whole period of the study.  Results: Data show that customized motor sensory physiotherapy while in NICU improves weight gain and reduces total days of stay. Discussion: Even though adapted motor sensory physiotherapy intervention has a positive impact on the development and outcome of preterm infants in NICU, more research is required on the physiotherapy techniques by studying a larger sample size in NICU.
From genes to color: Evolutionary insights and mechanistic pathways of the yellow gene in insect pigmentation
Authors: Blessie Pradeeka Gudelly  , Shanthi Sharon Kolluri  , Komal Kumar Bollepogu Raja
Published: September 2024

Insect pigmentation plays a vital role in ecology and evolution, influencing survival, mate attraction, and communication. This review examines the complex mechanisms governing insect coloration, focusing on the roles of pigments (melanins and carotenoids) and structural colors. Specifically, the yellow gene in Drosophila is highlighted for its critical function in melanin biosynthesis and its evolutionary implications. Variations in the yellow gene's expression and regulation, influenced by both cis- and trans-regulatory elements, contribute to the phenotypic diversity of pigmentation patterns across insect species. The interplay between developmental genes and the yellow gene further illustrates how subtle genetic changes drive morphological diversity. While advances in CRISPR and other genetic tools have enhanced our understanding of pigmentation, challenges remain in deciphering the gene’s complex interactions and the influence of environmental factors. Future research should focus on refining genomic techniques, exploring environmental impacts on pigmentation, and utilizing single-cell omics to gain deeper insights into the regulatory networks governing the yellow gene. This comprehensive understanding of insect pigmentation will not only enrich our knowledge of biodiversity but also inform conservation and biotechnological innovations.

Research on the Effects of Corporate Social Insurance on Total Factor Productivity
Authors: Wang Haihan
Published: September 2024

Social insurance is an insurance arrangement that the country or the government collects from some specific groups, such as enterprises, through compulsory means and then sets up social security funds to guarantee the basic living standards of specific groups of society, including the old, weak, sick, disabled, pregnant and temporarily unemployed. It is a legal responsibility and obligation that enterprises or employers must undertake and in the financial aspect, it is a rigid labor cost besides the wages. In China, enterprise is the main object that should afford the payment of social insurance and its contribution rate is higher than the international level, followed by some negative effects. This article prefers to study the correlation between corporate social insurance and TFP and find a reasonable range of the contribution rate based on the other researchers’ data and viewpoints. It may also provide some possible suggestions to the governments to decrease the burden of firms and ensure the development of a welfare security system.

Authors: Lee Yuancun
Published: September 2024

The study explored the impact of Chinese parents' parenting styles on adolescents' social competence from the perspective of family systems theory. Adolescents' social competence is crucial and is related to their academic performance, peer relationships, and psychological well-being. Rapid urbanization, increased pressure on education, and the pervasive influence of technology have dramatically changed the Chinese family, creating a complex environment for adolescent development. Parenting in modern China has shifted from traditional authoritarian approaches to more diverse practices incorporating warmth, emotional support, and democratic participation. This study utilizes qualitative and quantitative research methods to explore how different parenting styles in an interconnected family system affect the development of social competence among Chinese adolescents. By examining authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting styles under the lens of family systems theory, the study delves into the patterns of parent-adolescent coexistence and understands the systemic impact of family dynamics on individual development. The study integrates the Chinese socio-cultural context within a constructivist perspective to explore parenting practices by analyzing existing research data, as well as family boundaries, communication patterns, emotional climate, conflict resolution styles, and parental expectations and encouragement. The aim is to identify key parenting behaviours and attitudes that promote or impede the development of adolescents' social competence and, ultimately, suggest healthier and more effective parenting practices.

Authors: Xue Chulan , Wong Colleen
Published: September 2024

This study investigates the factors influencing interactive teaching decision-making level among novice music teachers in junior high schools, a fundamental skill that spans the entire music teaching process. Focusing on classroom instruction and student learning, the study addresses two primary questions: (1) What factors affect the interactive teaching decision-making of novice music teachers? (2) How do these factors vary by gender, educational background, and teaching experience? A questionnaire survey of novice music teachers in Boshan, China, was conducted, and the collected data were analyzed using SPSSAU software. The findings indicate that student response is the most influential factor, while evaluation is the least. Comparative analysis shows that novice teachers with 2-3 years of teaching experience rank higher in classroom resilience and teaching skills, whereas those with 0-2 years score higher in classroom management. Nonparametric statistics further illuminate differences in interactive decision-making by teaching experience. The study suggests that novice music teachers should prioritize student responses, enhance classroom resilience and teaching skills, and emphasize classroom evaluation and reflection. These insights aim to improve decision-making processes and support the professional development of novice music teachers.

As sutilezas da invisibilidade e do reconhecimento perverso da população negra no Brasil da cordialidade
Authors: Constant Pacheco Lwdmila
Published: September 2024

Quando falamos de colonização tendemos a generalizá-la sobre todos os territórios colonizados do mundo, porém, mesmo considerando que qualquer forma de violência é violência, como diria Fanon (2008), precisamos considerar as sutilezas que perpassam a nossa formação “pretuguesa” (Gonzalez, 2020) aqui no Brasil. Apesar de sermos quase todos mestiços, absorvemos o ideal de civilização europeia, o que faz com que se valorize a branquitude em todas as suas nuances. Dessa forma, o racismo no Brasil possui a violência do genocídio e tem como característica cultural a expressão sinuosa do cotidiano pseudocordial das relações inter-raciais: onde ou se nega a existência da negritude, invisibilizando e atravessando os negros pelo olhar branco, ou se reconhece sua existência através do fetiche. Negros são abordados verbal e gestualmente de forma racista, mas se justificam esses atos como sendo brincadeira ou uma informalidade afetiva de se relacionar. A proposta deste ensaio é refletir sobre como se expressa a dialética do reconhecimento e da invisibilidade estratégica da negritude brasileira por meio da teoria crítica, principalmente da psicologia, no intuito de demonstrar que o racismo se apoia numa ideologia que de tão naturalizada se torna sutil e imperceptível, enquanto sustenta e legitima formas escancaradas de violência e de extermínio.

Authors: Pandey Vidya , Pandey Shweta
Published: September 2024

Skin is the largest organ of the body. Because of the largest and maximum exposure to the environment, it is most likely to be infected, infested, and injured. Correspondingly, according to the World Health Organization (W.H.O.), Skin diseases have a high prevalence in the child age group (21-87%) in most developing countries and 10-20% of patients all over the world suffer from various fungal infections. An environment that is suitable and rich for fungal growth, the use of readily available and resistant drugs, and the low immunity of the child make the infection chronic and worrisome. Ayurveda simulates fungal infection with Dadru which is considered among Chudrakushtha (~minor skin diseases). In this case study, a six-year-old girl who was suffering from chronic fungal infections was treated through Ayurveda oral medications like Shatavari Churna, Jahar Mohra Pishti, Trikatu, Gandhak Rasayan, and Vidanga Lauh in Yoga(~mixture) form along with Lepa (~ paste for local application) having Triphala Churna, Dhatura, and Nimba leaves paste for sixty days. The effect of the treatment was seen from the evaluation scale obtained from previous research studies which yielded better results. Thus this study shows the effective use of Ayurveda medicines especially in fungal skin lesions in children.

The effects of decentralization and regional autonomy on Indonesia's federal-regional financial ties are the subject of this brief study. Patterns of financial interactions in the implementation of regional autonomy, changes to statutory rules, and the history of central and regional financial legislation are all part of the issue. The development of efficient financial systems requires substantial work, but regional autonomy also affords regions the chance to boost their own financial performance. The structure of central-regional financial connections may be affected by decentralization and regionalautonomy policies; how prepared institutions are, available human resources, financial management systems, and budget submission procedures are all crucial factors to consider. Implementing decentralization and regional autonomy policies in Indonesia is expected to have a good influence on financial ties between the center and regions if these aspects are carefully considered.
