Sobri Jóska, a leghíresebb bakonyi betyár
Authors: Balogh Elemér
Published: February 2022

In the beginning of the year 1837, the hunt started to catch Jóska Sobri, the famous Hungarian outlaw, and his gang. The then palatine ordered military forces to track them down and promised high reward for capturing them. The outlaw gang was hiding in Bakony Forest and had little chance against the soldiers. Not even Sobri and his closest fellow gang members could slip through the territory encircled by the authorities in Tolna County, close to Lápafő, on 17 February 1837. In the gunfight, Sobri has most probably died, but this has never been proven. He disappeared, and the myth was born in outlaw folklore, according to which he is alive even nowadays. Recently, a movie has been produced about his life, and there is also an adventure park in Bakony Forest named after him.

Inaugural Editorial
Authors: Garg Harish
Published: February 2022

A warm welcome to the inaugural issue of the Journal of Computational and Cognitive Engineering (JCCE), a new exciting title to Bon View Press portfolio journals for 2022. The launch of this pioneering journal by Bon View Press marks a new era for the multidisciplinary field.
With the increasingly complex situations being modeled to find reasonable answers, the role of computation and cognitive learning has become essential. Therefore, the journal’s focus is to provide a new platform for disseminating the latest research and current practices of the emerging fields from cognitive, computational engineering, and artificial intelligence to brain science, cognition, and machine intelligence. As reflected in the journal name, JCCE identifies distinct, effective, and timely approaches to solve the problems related to the fields in question.
Computational Engineering is an emerging and rapidly growing multidisciplinary field that applies advanced computational methods and analysis to engineering practice. However, Cognitive Engineering emphasizes the application of knowledge and techniques from cognitive psychology to the design of human–machine systems. Models and simulations of cognition have gained popularity as interactive systems have been developed to shed light on human behaviour prediction while developing new approaches and testing cognitive theories themselves. Thus, Computational and Cognitive Engineering offers a broader systems perspective to analyzing and designing human–machine systems.

TOTAL CONTENT OF CALCIUM AND PHOSPHORUS IN SERUM OF WISTAR RATS BY AN OPTIMIZED METHOD OF ICP-MS
Authors: KOTH Valesca , RUBENSAM Gabriel , BARREIRO Bernardo Ottoni Braga , STEIN Thaynã Spencer , CHERUBINI Karen
Published: February 2022

In the Odontology field, the modeling process of alveolar bone has been a topic of investigation for the last years since the lost bone after tooth extraction can preclude aesthetic and function. In this practice, the volume of the tissue to be modeled depends on, among other factors, the serum levels of calcium and phosphorus, and it is of interest to monitor these elements to better understand the mechanism of tissue regeneration. These elements are routinely analyzed for clinical purposes, as serum constituents, by UV-VIS spectrophotometry after chromogenic reactions for each metal with different reagents. Depending on the analytical demands and work objectives, it is necessary to have methods based on technologies that allow multi-element quantification in a single experiment. In this context, ICP-MS has been considered a powerful tool for rapid multi-element analysis due to its high selectivity and sensitivity. However, it has been reported that samples with high content of salts and proteins, such as serum samples, cause matrix-induced interferences due to weak sample preparation and the presence of polyatomic ions. The present study aimed to identify and mitigate matrix effects in rat serum samples during the simultaneous quantification of calcium and phosphate using ICP-MS and evaluate its capability of differentiating element levels from Wistar rats subjected to tooth extraction with and without alveolar bone grafting. In addition, the optimized method can be used for more comprehensive mineralomics studies related to the bone modeling process in future studies.

The indirect effect of body image on distress in women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy
Authors: Pereira M. , Ribeiro Catarina , Ferreira Gabriela , Machado José C. , Leite Ângela
Published: February 2022

Background

body image; breast neoplasms; adaptation psychological; optimism; psychological distress

Participants and procedure

This cross-sectional study included eighty-seven women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy, who answered in-struments that assessed sociodemographic and clinical issues, optimism, coping, concerns with body image and psycholog-ical distress. Bayesian statistics were performed to test the indirect effect model that included also the moderator effects.

Results

Lower optimism, lower use of humor, and higher denial and illness duration predicted lower body image and higher dis-tress. Longer illness duration was associated with higher distress. Body image had an indirect effect in the relationship between optimism and distress; between denial coping and distress; between humor coping and distress and between illness duration and distress. Being submitted to surgery but not the type of surgery was a moderator in the indirect effect model.

Conclusions

Body image is critical to psychological distress. Future interventions for women with breast cancer should consider body image as a target, in order to promote adaptive coping strategies specially when women have had surgery.
Demographic, psychosocial, and medical correlates of psychological morbidity after intensive care unit stay
Authors: Zisopoulos George , Roussi Pagona , Anisoglou Sousana
Published: February 2022

Background

Psychological morbidity [post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, depressive, and anxiety symptoms] and a decline in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are common after treatment in an intensive care unit (ICU). The aims of this article are: (a) to report psychological morbidity and HRQoL status three months after the ICU stay; (b) to report psy-chological morbidity correlates [demographic factors, social constraint (SC) regarding the ICU experience, negative ICU-related memories (NIM), and medical factors]; (c) to examine the hypothesis that SC would be a predictor of psychological morbidity after the ICU stay.

Participants and procedure

Seventy-two Greek patients filled in the following questionnaires: the Impact of Event Scale-Revised, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the EuroQoL-5D-5L, and five questions regarding SC.

Results

In total, 47% of participants had symptoms of psychological morbidity at a moderate to high level and 94% reported that they had at least a problem regarding HRQoL. Predictors of PTSD symptoms were NIM, SC, female gender, and haloperidol dose. Predictors of anxiety symptoms were SC, the reporting of another stressor after the ICU stay, and low income. Pre-dictors of depressive symptoms were SC, remifentanil dose (negative), and the reporting of another stressor.

Conclusions

Participants experienced elevated levels of psychological symptoms and SC emerged as a consistent predictor of psycho-logical morbidity three months after the ICU stay.

The impact of moral distress on the provision of nursing care amongst critical care nurses in the eThekwini District
Authors:   , Ragavadu Rita
Published: February 2022

Introduction Moral distress is a widely recorded phenomenon in the nursing profession. It can be described as a form of distress that occurs when one knows the ethically correct thing to do, but is prevented from acting on that perceived obligation. Moral distress impacts patients, nurses and the organization. If the nurse is unable to advocate for her or his patient and avoidance behaviour occurs, increased patient suffering result. Moral distress results in high staff turnover, decreased quality patient care and low patient satisfaction. Unrelieved moral distress jeopardizes nurse’s sense of self-worth and threatens their integrity. Aim of the study The aim of the study was to determine the impact of moral distress on the provision of nursing care amongst critical care nurses. Methodology A quantitative descriptive design was used to determine the intensity and frequency of moral distress amongst critical care nurses, to assess the impact of moral distress on the provision of nursing care to the patient as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of organisational strategies implemented to reduce moral distress. Critical care nurses from both private and public hospitals were selected to participate in the study. Data was collected by means of a survey using the moral distress scale which was revised to meet the objectives of the study. A non-probability purposive sampling technique was utilised to gather data from a sample size of 100 critical care nurses currently working in the critical care environment. Results The study indicates that the frequency and intensity of moral distress is related to specific clinical situations in the critical care environment. The study also specifies that moral distress continues to have a negative effect on the provision of nursing care. Critical care nurses feel that some strategies are effective whereas others are not at all effective. Impact of the research study This study reveals that there is a significant negative effect of moral distress on the provision of nursing care. Nurses experience challenges in the clinical environment that result in them experiencing moral distress. Nurses more attuned to the ethical dimensions of care may be more at risk for moral distress since these nurses see the moral dimensions of nursing being neglected. Nurses may find themselves distancing themselves from patient care, resulting in a perceived lack of care and concern for the patient.

Authors:   , Zondi Thokozani Octavia
Published: February 2022

Aim The aim of the study was to examine students’ perspectives regarding their learning in a community based undergraduate nursing programme at the Durban University of Technology in South Africa. Methodology A quantitative descriptive design was used to examine student nurses’ perspectives regarding their experiences in community-based education (CBE), with specific reference to perceived academic gains, local and global gains, intrapersonal gains and interpersonal gains. Hours spent by students outside their CBE schedule as well as most preferred clinical practice Participants included 203 undergraduate nursing students drawn from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 cohorts. A stratified random sampling technique was used. A modified 4-point Likert scale version of a questionnaire designed by Ibrahim (2010), which also comprised of open-ended questions for supportive qualitative information, was used to collect data. Analysis was done accomplished using SPSS Version 22 for the quantitative data and identification of themes for the supportive qualitative information. Results The study results revealed that students had benefited from CBE in all the four domains under study. Participants rated the impact of CBE on academic gains lowest ( ̅x = 3.09, SD = .38) with perceived impact of CBE on local and global gains rated highest ( ̅x = 3.33, SD = .38). The personal gains subscale was the second highly rated subscale with a mean of 3.27 (SD = .43), followed by the intrapersonal gains domain ( ̅x = 3.15, SD .48). No significant differences were found between groups on all the variables of interest. Furthermore, the results revealed that participants spent a varying number of hours outside of scheduled CBE placement. The majority of the participants spent 200 hours to 399 hours (n= 119) = 58.6% in the first semester and (n = 120) = 59% in the second semester. The majority (72%) of the participants indicated that their preferred clinical practice environment was Primary Health Care.
The effect of ankle joint manipulation on peroneal and soleus muscle activity in chronic ankle instability syndrome
Authors:   , Dicks Jason
Published: February 2022

Purpose: Ankle sprains are amongst the most common injury sustained by athletes and the general public. When an ankle is repeatedly sprained it results in chronic ankle instability syndrome (CAIS). This repeated trauma results in disruption of the afferent nerve supply from the injured joint, which affects the motor neuron pool excitability of the peroneal and soleus muscles resulting in arthogenic muscle inhibition (AMI). Traditional treatment for CAIS focuses on rehabilitation of the affected muscles via strength and proprioceptive training. Recent literature has shown that the addition of ankle joint manipulation resulted in improved clinical outcomes in the treatment of CAIS. The mechanism on how joint manipulation affects AMI is under-investigated especially in extremity joints. Thus this study aimed to determine the immediate effect of ankle joint manipulation on peroneal and soleus muscle activity, by assessing surface electromyography (sEMG) H/M ratio to detect a change in the proportion of the total motor neuron pool being recruited, in participants with CAIS. Methods: The study utilised a quantitative, experimental, pre-test post-test study design. Forty two participants with grade I and II CAIS, aged 18-45 years, were randomly allocated into one of three groups. Group one received a single talocrural joint long axis distraction manipulation, group two received a sham manipulation and group three was the control receiving no intervention. sEMG H/M ratio measurements were taken before and immediately after the intervention using a Biopac wireless emg system. Results: The groups were comparable at baseline for age, gender, body mass index and H/M ratio measurements for the soleus and peroneal muscles (p < 0.050). Intra-group analysis of the soleus muscle H/M ratio showed no statistically significant change over time for the manipulation (p = 0.975) and sham (p = 0.056) groups, with the control group showing a statistically significant (p = 0.019) decrease in the H/M ratio. For the peroneal muscle no statistically significant (p > 0.050) differences were observed in any of the three groups. Inter-group analysis of the soleus muscle H/M ratio measurements showed no statistically significant differences between the three groups (p = 0.470; F = 1.010) over time, with Tukey’s HSD post-hoc test revealing a statistically significant (p = 0.028) difference being observed between the sham and control groups in terms of post soleus muscle H/M ratio measurements. Conclusion: This study failed to show that ankle joint manipulation affects the soleus and peroneal muscles in terms of H/M ratio measurements in participants with CAIS. There may have been a trend of an effect of the sham and manipulation interventions counteracting the muscle fatigue experienced in the control group, however further investigation is required.

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a significant and common occupational health concern, consequently impacting work attendance and performance. High prevalence rates of MSDs have been reported amongst school teachers. Studies have linked these higher prevalence rates to typical daily teaching activities including prolonged standing, awkward postures, heavy lifting, bending and repetitive movements. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of neck, shoulder and low back pain among primary school teachers in the Central Durban area; to identify any risk factors associated with neck, shoulder and low back pain; and to establish the relationship, if any, between the prevalence and risk factors of neck, shoulder and low back pain among primary school teachers. Methods: This was a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study, conducted in 12 selected public primary schools within the Central Durban area. Volunteers who met the inclusion criteria (n = 97) were invited to complete self-administered questionnaires. Results: Of the 97 completed questionnaires 83.1 percent (%) reported neck and shoulder pain and 71.0% low back pain. Neck and shoulder pain were significantly associated with a forward-bent head posture (p = 0.001), ethnicity (p = 0.001), and history of a severe trauma/injury (p = 0.006). Similarly, significant associations were noted with regards to medical conditions (p = 0.006), a backward-bent head posture (p = 0.016), lifting of heavy loads (p = 0.045) and treatment for severe injury (p = 0.047). Associations were also noted between low back pain and prolonged standing (p = 0.000), ethnicity (p = 0.008), transportation methods (p = 0.023), medical conditions (p = 0.031) and a history of a severe trauma/injury (p = 0.049). Conclusion: This is a first South African study, to our knowledge that highlights increased prevalence rates for both neck and shoulder pain and low back pain amongst teachers, with a variety of associated risk factors. This draws attention to the urgent need for intervention programs to be implemented to prevent/reduce the development of musculoskeletal pain amongst teachers.

Introduction: Evidence suggests that Indians are at a greater risk of developing chronic diseases due to their unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle. The increased emphasis placed on exercise and diet in preventative regimens is altering related mortality and morbidity. Physical activity plays a role in the prevention of coronary heart disease and other chronic diseases which occur at a higher rate in inactive people. Despite the need for exercise to improve health, no study has examined the exercise profile of Indians in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, their exercise patterns and motivations regarding exercise. Aim: This study determined the patterns of exercise participation by Indians residing in KwaZulu- Natal (KZN). Methodology: A quantitative, descriptive, cross sectional survey was used in this study. The study was conducted at the Durban North Beach on selected weekends during August and September 2015. The target population was South African Indians. A convenience sample was used, that is, potential participants, who were at North Beach on the data collection days were approached with a request to participate in the study. Following the signing of an informed consent form, data was collected by means of a self-administered questionnaire. A total of 450 self-administered questionnaires were handed out and 411 completed questionnaires were received. Descriptive statistics in the form of frequencies, means and standard deviations were calculated. Relationships between two variables were determined using chi-squared tests, Fisher’s Exact test, Pearson’s correlation test, as appropriate. Odds ratios were calculated where relevant. A p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age of respondents was 37.7 ± 13.7 years. The majority (70.1%) participants reported that they currently exercise. However, only 42.9% of the respondents were found to meet the international requirement of 150 minutes of physical activity per week. When unstructured physical activity, such as household and yard chores were added, the latter frequency increased to 45.3%. Physical activity levels were similar across all age groups, likewise, similar proportions of males and females exercised. The most common exercises performed included walking (45.5%) and jogging (25.3%). Gymnasiums (33.5%), public grounds (25.3%) and the beachfront (21.4%) were the most commonly used locations for physical activity. One third of these respondents reported their health conditions as their main reason for exercising and most were aware about the value of exercise. Respondents who did not exercise regularly cited time management for their lack of exercise. Conclusion: The prevalence of exercise among South African Indians is low, with less than half of the population being physically active. Interventions are required to make people aware of the benefits of physical activity in order to increase the prevalence of exercise in this population.

This study was aimed at establishing the degree to which the concept of holism and the practise of well ness formed part of chiropractic health care. It set out to discover how patients and practitioners perceived holism, and to determine the degree to which the practice of well ness was incorporated into patient management programmes. The study ultimately integrated and evaluated the responses of two questionnaires. One was directed at patients in order to recognize how they perceived holism and well ness in chiropractic health care, and the other was directed to practitioners to discover the extent to which holism and the practice of well ness were incorporated into their patient management programmes. Throughout this study/holism was viewed as a philosophical concept acknowledging an interdependence of mind and body. On the other hand.the term wellness was used in reference to a form of patient management based on the practical application of holistic approach, as opposed to a purely philosophical concept . . For the purpose of this study the concept of holism was evaluated in terms of the following factors; exercise, stress management, religion, emotional well-being, diet and nutrition, smoking, alcohol consumption, medication and drug use and occupational hazards. The data generated by the questionnaires was analyzed by means of frequency tabulation and cross-tabulation. The results were discussed and displayed by means of bar-charts and frequency tables. These results revealed that both patients and practitioners were very aware of the concept of holism in their personal lives. However, it also revealed that there were inconsistencies between the patients' experience of wellness and the holistic approach supposedly offered by their practitioners. Areas of inconsistency included discussion in the following areas: a) medication and drug use, b) alcohol consumption, c) occupational hazards and d) emotional well-being of patients. In the final chapter recommendations were made with regards to research methodology for future studies of a similar nature, as well as suggestions for the development of a holistic approach in chiropractic education and health care. A re-evaluation of chiropractic philosophy and the mission statement of chiropractic health care was suggested, in order to establish what a practitioner's responsibility is towards the community and his/her patients. It was recommended that practitioners and chiropractic students be made aware of their responsibility to humankind as Doctors of Chiropractic.
