Authors: Basant Kour Mrs.
Published: June 2024

Evidence-based practices (EBP) are a method of making clinical decisions based on evidence, clinical experience, and patient expectations. EBP aims to promote high-quality,cost-effective nursing care, shift the emphasis from customs and traditions to evidence and research, and improve the quality of care provided. It combines research knowledge and theory, facilitating the application of research to practice and reducing the research practice divide. EBP de-emphasizes ritual, isolated, and unsystematic clinical experiences, and emphasizes the application of nursing rather than the practice of nursing. The Sterter Model, developed by the Iowa Design, is a systematic approach to evidence-based practice in nursing. It involves obtaining information from both external and internal sources, and integrating research and practice. The model focuses on quality assurance, staff recognition, and resources for research. Obstacles to using nursing research include lack of practical relevance, difficulty in effecting change, administrative support, expertise mentors, and insufficient time for investigation. The Rossworm and Larabee Model, created in 1999, focuses on the application of change theory, research principles, and nursing nomenclature standardizations. It has several stages, including a need assessment and the incorporation of a protocol supported by evidence. The advantages of evidence-based practice include enhanced information, consistency in maintenance, client-focused care, structured methods, increased decision-making assurance, and a reference for future studies. However, it also has consequences such as insufficient substantiation, time-consuming processes, reduced customer selection, reduced professional autonomy, suppressed originality, and influenced the legal process. In conclusion, evidence-based nursing care is a lifelong approach to clinical decision-making and practice excellence. However, barriers exist between new knowledge and its implementation to improve patient care. Nurses can determine the strength of research studies, assess findings, and evaluate evidence for potential implementation into best practice.

Authors: Jain Doulisa , Jadhav Prathamesh , Joshi Miten
Published: June 2024

Nutrient deficiencies, such as vitamins, minerals, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, as well as dietary surpluses, such as sugar and artificial food additives, have not been proven to have a role in the genesis of ADHD. There is no solid data supporting dietary treatments for ADHD therapy at the group level. The complicated and ill-defined character of ADHD makes it difficult to identify a function for dietary components. Due to the disorder's variability, possible therapeutic advantages of dietary treatments may be limited to identifiable subpopulations of children with ADHD. In comparison to nutrient supplements, the combined advantages of the variety of foods that make up healthy diets may produce superior results. Diet and nutrition interact with other lifestyle factors like physical exercise, and research on treatment modalities for ADHD should place more emphasis on how diet and nutrition interact with lifestyle factors.

Compartmental models have gained tremendous usage in various fields, including epidemiology, pharmacokinetics, and ecology, to describe the dynamics of a system consisting of interacting compartments one need to understand  that the challenges in using compartmental models is solving the system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that govern the dynamics of the compartments. In this study, we propose the use of the Adam-Bashforth predictor method to solve compartmental models formed from COVID-19 data in Malaysia between a specified period and we showcased its promising results. The Adam-Bashforth predictor method is a widely used numerical method for solving ODEs. It uses previous solution values to calculate the next solution value, and the solutions is refined by using another fashion of the formula known as ABM correction formula. We improved the performance of the Adam-Bashforth predictor method by using the first four solutions of the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method, which is another popular numerical method for solving ODEs, using the compartmental models. Our results showed that the Adam-Bashforth predictor method enhanced with the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method for accuracy and computational efficiency was able to capture the trend in the COVID-19 dataset used. Generally, the Adam-Bashforth method was about 2.5 times faster than the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method while maintaining similar accuracy. So merging two of them will in no doubt provide a better accuracy in solving the epidemiological model, the Adam-Bashforth method showed significantly accuracy, particularly in the early stages of the outbreak. The Adam-Bashforth predictor method is a promising numerical method for solving compartmental models. It offers better accuracy and computational efficiency, can be particularly useful in scenarios where accurate and fast predictions of compartmental dynamics are crucial. The model will be of great importance to the Malaysian Government, the Ministry of Health, and other stakeholders in disease management for an immediate and timely response to disease outbreaks.

It also assesses the potential benefits that a transition to a Circular Economy model can bring, such as job creation, cost savings, and environmental protection. The paper highlights the challenges and barriers that Albania may face in adopting Circular Economy practices and provides recommendations for policymakers, businesses, and other stakeholders to accelerate the shift towards a more sustainable economic model. Methodology: Secondary research was conducted using different databases of some international organizations and some public and private organizations in Albania. Findings: Results obtained from this research methodology show that improving recycling infrastructure and implementing more efficient waste management practices can help reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills, while also creating new job opportunities and supporting the development of a green economy. Among others, developing circular economy practices can help reduce the country’s reliance on imported raw materials, promoting domestic resource production and helping to build resilience in the face of global supply chain disruptions. Value: As per recommendation, based on these findings, Albania should implement specific strategies for the development of a circular economy model as it has the potential to drive sustainable economic growth, innovation, and job creation.

La investigación se realizó en La Base de Transporte de la Empresa Agroforestal de la provincia Holguín, ubicada en el oriental de Cuba con el fin de evaluar la eficiencia del transporte. Mediante el cálculo de los indicadores técnicos que caracterizan el rendimiento del transporte en los modelos ZIL 130 y el KRAZ. El método de análisis utilizado fue el analítico-investigativo, utilizando la técnica de fotocronometraje para el proceso de transporte y la recopilación de datos. Para el cálculo de los indicadores técnicos: el coeficiente de la capacidad de carga, la velocidad técnica media, el coeficiente de aprovechamiento del recorrido, el coeficiente de aprovechamiento del turno y el rendimiento de las unidades de transporte la metodología a seguir fue la planteada por (Pérez, 2009) y (Batista, 2015). Se realizó un análisis de varianza de clasificación simple con prueba de Duncan para encontrar diferencia significativa con un error del 5%. Al realizar una valoración de los medios que emplea la Empresa para la transportación de madera se obtuvo que el ZIL-130 no es un medio adecuado para la transportación de esta y sí para otros tipos de carga, debido a que su capacidad de carga es 7,5 t, si tenemos en cuenta que las densidades de madera que tradicionalmente transporta la entidad son elevadas (Samanea saman (Jacq.) Merrill: 551 kg·m-3; Bucida buceras L: 1000 a 1 100 kg·m-3; Busera simaruba (L.) Sargent: 300 a 400 kg·m-3; Swietenia mahogoni (L.) Jacq: 700 a 850 kg·m-3), no siendo así para el KRAZ que si constituye un medio por excelencia para este tipo de labor por el tipo de tracción (6X6) que presenta y su elevada capacidad de carga 12 t.

With the aim of fostering gender equality and inclusivity in organizational settings, an exploration of workplace policies becomes imperative. This quantitative inquiry takes on the task of lensing corporate policies in Pakistan from a feminist perspective, with a sample of 200 women from different sectors. Pakistan's abysmal state of gender inequality is highlighted by its rank of 155th out of 162 countries in the Gender Development Index (GDI), revealing significant disparities. Maternity leave policies are decreed as dissatisfactory (21.3%) and mediocre (23.9%), calling for more supportive and inclusive measures with negative impacts on work-life balance (33.6%) and career trajectory (47.4%). Salary structures are marked by discontent (28.9% dissatisfied, 22.0% very dissatisfied), representing potentially egregious gender-based disparities. Beliefs in gender parity for promotions and salary increases are minuscule (44.2% disagreement). Transparency issues loom large (54.2% communication, 48.2% promotion criteria), suggesting the dire need for improved organizational communication. Harassment policies breed mixed perceptions and are deemed ineffective (35.9%). The findings call for organizational intervention and outline key strategies for the ecosystem of work in Pakistan to forge a more gender-equitable workplace.

Hegemony is the domination of a governing class over the values, beliefs and the perceptions of a culturally diverse society. Cultural conflicts between various tribes of a community wherein the dominant tribe claims its authority either by imposing its own ideologies or by demeaning the cultural values of other tribes. When a dominant group fails to acquire consensual control over another group, which they consider inferior, it lost its hegemony. This study delimits Abawi's The Secret Sky and Antonio Gramsci’s theorization of hegemon to argue how hegemonic powers in Afghanistan operate on political and cultural levels. This study is significant for its (con) textual approach to highlight the purpose of foreign invasions to hegemonies the culture of Afghan locale.
