Published: October 2023

Aim: The aim of the study was to examine the social awareness of cerebral palsy (CP) and speech and language disorders in individuals with CP. It was also aimed to investigate the change in social awareness among participants whether they have a relative with CP. Subjects and Method: 95 participants, 57 women and 38 men, participated in the study. A Google survey form developed based on literature review was used. In the form consisting of a total of 18 questions; demographic information of the participants, general information about CP, awareness of speech, language, feeding, and swallowing disorders in CP are questioned. Results: 80% (n = 76) of the participants did not have a relative with CP. Among those who had no relatives with CP, 59.2% stated that they had no opinion about the questions "CP is not a progressive disease" and 56.6% stated that "siblings of children with CP are not expected to have CP". Among the individuals with relatives with CP, 36.3% had no idea whether CP was a progressive disease or not. It was determined that 51.6% of all individuals had no opinion about dysphagia in individuals with CP, followed by 50.5% about feeding difficulties. More than half of those who had no relatives with CP stated that they had no opinion on 6 out of 8 questions related to speech and language. Conclusions: It was observed that the general knowledge level and general awareness of individuals with relatives with CP were higher. Swallowing and feeding difficulties in CP were the least understood by all. Being more aware of speech, language, feeding, and swallowing difficulties in CP can help people participate in activities, communication, and living and improve their quality of life. Trainings, seminars, and TV and social media campaigns can raise public awareness in this area. More than half of those without relatives with CP stated that they had no opinion on 6 out of 8 questions related to speech and language. Conclusions: Those with relatives with CP had better levels of knowledge regarding CP and speech, language, feeding, and swallowing than those without. Swallowing and feeding difficulties in CP were least understood by all. Being more aware of speech, language, feeding, and swallowing difficulties in CP can help people participate in activities, communication, and living and improve their quality of life. Trainings, seminars, and TV and social media campaigns can raise public awareness in this area.

Authors: Sim HG , Tan YH , Wong MYC
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Endopyelotomy is an accepted treatment option for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). In this study, we reviewed our 7-year experience with antegrade endopyelotomy for UPJO. Materials and Methods: We reviewed the records of 35 consecutive antegrade endopyelotomy for UPJO between 1996 and 2002. Patients were included if they had shown radiographic evidence of UPJO on diuresis urography or intravenous urogram with signs and symptoms or deterioration of renal function. Results: A total of 34 consecutive patients underwent 35 antegrade endopyelotomy procedures in 35 renal units. One patient had bilateral endopyelotomy for bilateral UPJO. Eighteen renal units (51%) had concomitant renal calculi that required percutaneous nephrolithotomy, including 8 renal units with pelvi-ureteric junction stones. Twenty-four renal units (69%) had moderate degree of hydronephrosis whilst 11 renal units (31%) had severe hydronephrosis. The mean operating time for antegrade endopyelotomy was 94 ± 28 minutes and the mean hospital stay was 4.7 ± 2.8 days. No patients had conversion to open pyeloplasty and no patient required perioperative blood transfusion. The mean follow-up was 33 ± 23 months and the overall success rate following endopyelotomy was 83% (n = 29 renal units). The success rate for primary UPJO was 81%, whilst the success rate for secondary UPJO was 84%. Four renal units (11%) required ancillary procedures for failed endopyelotomy. Two patients required repeat endopyelotomy, and 2 patients needed open pyeloplasty. Two patients were lost to follow-up. Conclusion: Endopyelotomy remains a viable approach for UPJO compared to open reconstruction. Careful patient selection can optimise the surgical outcome and minimise endopyelotomy failures.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: Data on combined modality treatment for locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus involving Asian patients are limited. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study of 56 consecutive patients with this condition treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery in a single tertiary institution in Singapore was performed. Results: The median overall survival of the entire cohort was 14.1 months [95% confidence interval (CI); range, 8.6 to 19.6 months]. In patients who underwent successful oesophagectomy after chemoradiotherapy (n = 17), the median survival was 27.8 months compared to 9.8 months for those who did not have surgery (n = 39) (P = 0.046, log-rank test). The median time to first relapse for the entire cohort was 16.1 months (95% CI, 7.7 to 24.5 months). The time to first relapse was 23.9 months in the subgroup of patients with successful surgery and 12.1 months in the group which did not (P = 0.147, log-rank test). The high proportion of patients who were medically unfit for surgery or declined surgery may have conferred a selection bias. Conclusion: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery is feasible in selected patients. The benefit of adding of surgery to chemoradiotherapy is still controversial and we await the results of randomised controlled trials comparing chemoradiotherapy with surgery versus chemoradiotherapy alone.

There are a lot of things students have to do in a day, which is why time management or lists of things to get done are important for them in order to have a good quality. Sleep is the time where they can recharge their energy for the next day. In order to get things done to their full potential, we need to have a good rest at night. It’s a sure thing that different people have different amounts of sleep or the time they go to bed each night. This also applies to secondary school students in Thailand, where they have varied amounts of sleep hours and may consequently affect their time management. Thus, our study aims to find out the correlation between sleep quality and time management of secondary school students in Bangkok. To determine the correlation of the factors, we conducted a cross-sectional survey. All data was collected by sending out a survey questionnaire about sleep quality and time management to secondary school students in Bangkok. The data from 216 participants was then analyzed. The outcomes from Pearson’s correlation test reveal a positive correlation between the assigned variables, which indicates that increasing sleep hours improve time management of the students. This study would put into picture that time management does affect students’ sleep quality and may potentially be put to use backing up potential changes that could be made to our country’s educational system

The autoreactivity of T cells in DMT1 patients causes activation of M1 and M2 macrophages as proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory markers which promote pancreatic cell damage. Secretome Hypoxic Mesenchymal Stem Cells (SH-MSCs) therapy methods play a role in repairing damaged tissue and regenerating pancreatic islet cells. This study aims to examine the effect of SH-MSCs on macrophage cell polarization through the expression of CD68 as a marker of M1 macrophages and CD163 as a marker of M2 macrophages in DMT1 rats. The sample of this study were 5 Wistar rats which were divided into 4 groups; normal group (no treatment), negative control group, and 2 treatment groups with 0.5cc of SH-MSCs (P1 group) and 1cc of SH-MSCs (P2 group). STZ 60 mg/kgBW induced DMT1 in the negative control, P1, and P2 groups. Data were tested parametrically using SPSS 22. The mean of CD68 expression in normal group was 3.06±0.35%, negative control: 21.67±0.93%, P1: 10.98±0.68%, P2: 5.85±0.55%. The mean of CD163 expression in normal group: 22.83±0.51%, negative control group: 3.56±0.50%, P1:15.81±1.80%, P2: 20.80±2.24%. The results of the normality and homogeneity test were p> 0.05. Anova test results p < 0.05. Post Hoc LSD test results p < 0.05. The administration of SH-MSCS was shown to decrease CD68 and increase the CD163 expression significantly in DMT1 rats.

Published: October 2023

Mood disorder where moods can fluctuate from depression to elevated moods referred to as mania is called bipolar disorder (BD).BD is presently divided into 3 types. All 3 sorts contain clean adjustments in mood, energy, and pastime levels. BD-I is the most severe disorder and symptoms of mania can be so severe that they can require psychiatric hospitalization. BD-II has the same symptoms as BD-I; however, it was described as hypomania because they are less severe than in pure mania. Cyclothymia, additionally referred to as a cyclothymic disorder, is a minor mood disorder characterized by fluctuating low-level depressive symptoms and periods of mild mania, like BD-II. Mood stabilizers and second-generation antipsychotics are first-line for treating and maintaining a stable mood. This study related to a case report on tremors and slurred speech induced by antipsychotics in a patient suffering from BD

Authors:   University of Labour and Social Affairs, Tran Ngoc Ha , Hương Le Thi Xuan ,   University of Labour and Social Affairs
Published: October 2023

Vietnam currently does not have a social welfare regime for all workers. The current pension system has different pension regimes (monthly social allowance for the elderly in the social protection policy, pension regime in the form of social insurance and voluntary pension insurance products in the form of commercial insurance). However, the protection scope of the pension tiers is not enough to ensure that all workers have a pension when they reach the end of their working age. To build a multi-pillar pension insurance system, pension insurance products provided by insurance businesses are considered a strategic solution, contributing to reducing the risk of unsustainability of the system, reducing the burden of the social insurance fund, and increasing social security for people. Secondary data collection methods and data analysis methods including descriptive statistical methods, synthesis methods, analysis, comparison, and systematic approaches are used in this study to Analyze and evaluate the current situation of exploiting pension insurance products in the Vietnamese life insurance market. Based on the research results, the authors have proposed several recommendations (for the State, insurance management agencies and insurance businesses) to develop voluntary pension insurance in Vietnam, aiming to build a multi-pillar pension insurance system, ensuring sustainable social security.

Published: October 2023

This study was conducted to analyze the impact of the compensation gap between executives and employees on corporate performance for companies listed on the Korea Exchange from 2010 to 2021. First, it was found that the compensation gap between executives and employees had a significant impact on sales performance and stock performance, suggesting that employees might feel deprived relative to the enormous compensations provided to management and their motivation to work might decline. These psychological factors also appeared to have an effect on subsequent corporate performance. Employees might become less loyal to the organization due to psychological factors and try to compensate for the situation by leaving their jobs. Second, the executive-employee compensation gap and compensation gap squared were found to have a significant impact on sales performance and stock performance, suggesting that the larger the compensation gap, the more it negatively affected corporate performance. In consideration of this, management must develop various compensation systems for employees and actively introduce and maintain employee welfare programs. Third, the compensation gap between executives and employees of chaebol (conglomerate) and non-chaebol firms was found to have a significant impact on operating performance and stock performance, and the compensation gap between the executives and employees of firms listed on the securities market and KOSDAQ was also found to have a significant impact on operating performance and stock performance. The results showed that the larger the compensation gap between executives and employees, the more it negatively affects corporate performance, regardless of whether the company is a chaebol or non-chaebol firm or listed on the securities market or KOSDAQ. Management must develop a wide range of compensation systems for employees and actively introduce and maintain employee welfare programs.

Published: October 2023

Strategic management is a management tool that both public and private sector entities adopt to improve organizational performance especially in the process of implementing organizational changes. Zambia Correctional Service in particular has been undergoing a paradigm shift in order to implement new security sector reforms. Like many other public entities world over has continuously recorded failure in achieving strategic objectives, as noted by cabinet Office’s 2020 performance assessment. Therefore, this study sought to identify challenges that affect effective application of strategic management techniques in the process of implementing organisational changes. This research is a literature review that gathered facts from literature findings of a scientific publications and existing data in the study area of the topic under review. Research findings indicate that the Service has been experiencing a number of challenges and these include; having an ambiguous vision statement, operating on an outdated organisational structure, inadequate end-user engagement and ineffective examination and modification of work processes. The findings show that the Service needs to develop a model for application of strategic management techniques that will support implementation of organisational changes. The model should include element such as establishing a clear end goal (vision), revise the structure to suit the demands of the current strategic plan, conduct program impact assessments to effectively measure performance and examine and modify work processes for effective and efficient public resource management.
Influência do ciclo menstrual em diferentes manifestações de força em mulheres adultas jovens
Authors:   , Arantes Francielle de Assis
Published: October 2023

Os hormônios sexuais femininos são conhecidos pela função reprodutiva e estão diretamente relacionados ao Ciclo Menstrual (CM). As oscilações hormonais decorrentes das fases do CM podem influenciar o desempenho físico de mulheres eumenorreicas, apresentando relação positiva e negativa na produção da força muscular. Esta dissertação está composta por dois artigos, sendo o primeiro um trabalho de revisão narrativa, com o objetivo de revisar a influência do CM durante a prática de exercícios aeróbios e resistidos. O segundo é um estudo original, com o objetivo de avaliar o comportamento hormonal e diferentes manifestações da força muscular ao longo do CM de mulheres com e sem o uso de contraceptivos orais. Em nossa revisão narrativa, concluímos que as flutuações hormonais durante o CM não afetam diretamente o sistema cardiorrespiratório ou musculoesquelético durante o exercício físico, uma vez que as alterações fisiológicas advindas do exercício dependem da individualidade biológica de cada mulher, bem como de seus sintomas autorreferidos durante o CM. No artigo original, consideramos que o comportamento hormonal de ambos os grupos se manteve como esperado ao longo do CM. Com relação às manifestações de força muscular, sugere-se que o ciclo menstrual regular, sem uso de CO, induz redução nos níveis de força muscular durante a FFT e a FLM, embora isso não tenha sido observado no desempenho da potência muscular. Porém, o grupo que fazia uso de CO teve tamanho de efeito maior na potência muscular média de 40% durante a FFI e potência muscular pico de 40% na FLM. Palavras-chave: Hormônios Sexuais. Ciclo Menstrual. Desempenho Físico.

Published: October 2023

Financial institutions are using data in a myriad of different ways, from know-your-customer (KYC) compliance to marketing insights and channel optimization, from risk assessment and fraud detection to innovative AI and machine learning initiatives. Data Integrity checks and best practices support data management as both strategic and tactical processes that enable companies to improve compliance, reduce costs, transform their customer relationships, and stay on the leading edge of innovation. It’s all too easy for financial institutions to lose sight of the gaps in their overall data strategy. Poor data quality is one component of this, but lack of context and poor integration are equally to blame for the underperformance of data assets. This research article examines the practical implications of poor data integrity. It explores the benefits of investing in a proactive approach toward improving data integrity checks, along with some real-world examples that illustrate the business value of such an approach

RUANG DAN WAKTU SEBAGAI BENTUK PRESENTASI DARI INTUISI A PRIORI PERSPEKTIF IMMANUEL KANT
Authors: Boe Maria Roswita
Published: October 2023

Tujuan penulisan filsafat kritisime oleh Immanuel Kant adalah berusaha untuk menjelaskan tentang objek pengenalan yang berpusat pada subjek dan menegaskan batasan- batasan kemampuan atau ratio sebagai sumber pengetahauan manusia. Kant menjelaskan bahwa  kemampuan manusia dalam mengetahui realitas terbatas karena ratio hanya mampu menjangkau gejala- gejala atau fenomena- fenomenanya saja, kemudian ia juga menjelaskan bahwa pengenalan manusia atas segala sesuatu diperoleh dari perpaduan antara unsur- unsur apriori dan aposteriori. Maka dengan menggunakan penelusuran pustaka yang dilakukan oleh penulis tujuan dari penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk membantu para pembaca agar menghindari diri dari sifat berpihak sebelah seperti sepihak dengan kaum rasionalisme atau pun sepihak dengan kaum emperisisme. Kehadiran kedua aliran ini sangat berpengaruh dalam pemikiran dunia modern saat ini terutama dengan perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi yang pesat yang membawa kebanyakan orang pada sifat individualisme yang tinggi. Immanuel Kant dengan caranya atau metodenya tersendiri tidak memihak pada salah satu aliran namun menggunakan keduanya sebagai satu pemikiran baru.
