This study aims to see the role of leadership in improving performance and the role of services at the Puskesmas. The method used is qualitative and quantitative with a community-based participatory approach involving 20 Heads of Health Centers in Jambi City and 197 Puskesmas staff. The results showed that 58% of respondents strongly agreed that leadership at the Puskesmas has a vital role in improving performance and service quality and 42% consider it quite important. The role of the Puskesmas leadership is not optimal in enhancing organizational performance, including staff training, staff involvement in decision-making, and giving rewards and punishments. Meanwhile, the leadership role is good enough to improve Puskesmas services, including reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and direct evidence to the community. In conclusion, there are obstacles in enhancing the organizational performance of the Puskesmas, including the lack of training and work guidance to improve competence, the lack of involvement of health workers in decision making, and the application of rewards and punishments that are still not consistently implemented.

This case report is about a rural 39 years old female of Asian origin and laborer by profession who developed Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) with lamotrigine. She was a known case of Bipolar Affective Disorder Type 1 with psychosis on treatment with quetiapine, duloxetine, escitalopram, and etizolam for the last one and a half years and had no history of adverse effects with those drugs. Recently Lamotrigine was added to her regimen at a dose of 50 mg/day. She developed Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJ syndrome) within two weeks of adding lamotrigine which progressed to Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN), SCORTEN scores 3, in the next 3-4 days. The sequence of events, reports of laboratory investigations, and management of TEN have been elaborated in this case report. On the Naranjo scale of causality, the suspected adverse drug reaction was established as ‘probable’ because the suspected culprit drug discontinuation led to improvement in the patient’s condition but a rechallenge was not tried.

Published: April 2023

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome; a constellation of obesity, hypertension, and disturbances of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism is a common phenomenon in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Systemic inflammation plays an important role in both conditions. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients visiting the outpatient Department of a tertiary care centre.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done in the outpatient Department of Pulmonology and General Practice from 1 August 2019 to 31 December 2020. Ethical approval was obtained from Institutional Review Committee [Registration number: 5/(6-11)E2/076/077]. Convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated.
Results: Among 57 patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 22 (38.59%) (27.48-49.70, 90% Confidence Interval). The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease stages 1, 2, 3, and 4 were 6 (27.27%), 9 (40.90%), 6 (27.27%) and 1 (4.54%) respectively.
Conclusions: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was similar to the other studies done in similar settings. The screening of metabolic syndrome is necessary and stratification for cardiovascular disease risk is important for timely intervention to prevent and decrease morbidities and mortalities.

Detection of JAK2V617F tyrosine kinase mutation and estimation of serum erythropoietin in blood donors who have high hematocrit
Authors: AL-Rubaie Haythem A. , Khudeir May A. , Al-Bayaa Israa M
Published: April 2023

Background: JAK2V617F mutation is the most prevalent molecular abnormality in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and has become a valuable marker for diagnosis of MPNs. Almost all patients with polycythemia vera (PV) have this acquired mutation. However, it has also been found in many other hematological diseases, and some studies even detected the presence of JAK2V617F in normal blood samples.Objectives: To discuss the actual need to defer blood donors with high hematocrit.Patients and methods: This prospective case control study was started on 16th of December 2012 and completed on 8th of July 2013, and enrolled 94 male blood donors who attended the National Blood Transfusion Center (NBTC) in Baghdad, Iraq. Their age range was between 21 and 62 years, and their hematocrit was ≥ 0.48 l/l. A control group of 20 patients known to have JAK2V617F positive PV were also included. The following investigations were done for both the study and the control groups: complete blood count, serum erythropoietin, and real time PCR for JAK2V617F detection.Results: The present study found that 21.3% (20/ 94) of healthy blood donors were positive for JAK2V617F mutation. The mutant ratio was higher in the PV control than positive JAK2V617F donors (p=0.001). Out of 20 donors who have positive JAK2V617F mutation, 90% were smokers, and 22.8% (18/79) of all smokers were positive for JAK2V617F, while 13.3% (2/15) of non-smokers showed positivity for the mutation, the difference between various types of smoking and the level of JAK2V617F mutation among study groups was statistically insignificant with a p-value of 0.356. There is a frequent association of pruritis with JAK2 positivity as the percentage of pruritis in JAK2V617F positive blood donors was 40%. There was significant statistical difference between donors with positive JAK2V617F mutation and the PV control group for the hematocrit, total WBC count, absolute neutrophil count, and platelet count with p-values of (0.002), (0.001), (0.001), and (0.001) respectively.Conclusion: The frequency of JAK2V617F mutation was much higher than that anticipated for blood donors. The blood donated from individuals with upper normal hematocrit does not necessarily denote to complete safety of blood as being devoid of JAK2V617F mutation.

Authors: Ahmad Amjad F. , AL-Ameen Afraa M. , Jassim Shaimaa A. H.
Published: April 2023

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease can lead to esophageal complications, including esophagitis, ulceration, stricture, hemorrhage, and Barrett’s esophagus. However, the spectrum of problems associated with GERD has expanded to extra esophageal sites. Chronic cough and asthma are two clinical problems caused or triggered by GERD. Spirometric changes among GERD associated cough and asthma still a topic of ongoing research.Objectives: This study was designated to evaluate the spirometric picture of GERD associated cough and asthma subjects in relation to different clinical aspects of the disease including body mass index (BMI), disease duration, presence or absence of symptoms as well as endoscopic findings.Subjects and methods: Ninety adult subjects (90) of either sex with a mean age of 40.5±12 year are involved in this study. Fifty five (55) GERD associated cough and asthma subjects served as test group while the remaining (35) served as control group. Each subject underwent spirometry and gastric endoscopy in Pulmonary Function and Endoscopy Units respectively at Ibn-Sina Teaching Hospital /Mosul.Results: Spirometric data of the control group were within the normal predicted range (80-120%) thus excluding the possibility of any asymptomatic obstructive airway disease. Whereas, the measured spirometric parameters (forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second ratio (FEV1%), peak expiratory flow (PEF), and forced mid expiratory flow(FMF) are significantly reduced in the test group with a clear restrictive pattern among the overweight subjects. In addition, neither the presence nor duration of symptoms affected the spirometric picture of the GERD associated cough and asthma subjects, unlike those with positive endoscopy findings who revealed significant obstructive pattern when compared to those with negative endoscopy findings.Conclusions: GERD associated cough and asthma subjects with positive endoscopy findings showed obstructive pattern of spirometry irrelevant to the presence or absence of symptoms or duration of the disease.

Authors: Al-Lami Makarim Q.
Published: April 2023

Background: Many anti-obesity medicines have been increased in recent years to solve the problem of obesity; among these medicines are Green Lean Body Capsules (GLBCs) which contain green plants and fruits extract.Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of daily oral consumption of GLBCs on level of serum lipids, renal function tests, and the histological structure of the kidney in albino rats.Materials and Methods: Twenty adult albino male rats weighing 240-260 g were divided into 2 equal groups: control group and GLBCs-treated group. During the 4-weeks treatment, each rat in the GLBCs-treated group was orally administered with 20 mg/kg B.W. of GLBCs, while the control rats were orally administered with 0.1 ml D.W. Body weights were monitored at the beginning and at the end of the experimental period. Lipid profile [total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), very lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)], renal function tests (blood urea and serum creatinine) ; in addition to the histological examination of the kidney wereevaluated in all the rats.Results: The results revealed that body weight gain was significantly (P<0.05) less in the GLBCs-treated rats than in the control rats. Results of the lipid profile showed that the levels of TC, TG, LDL-C and VLDL-C were significantly (P<0.05) lower while the level of HDL-C was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in the GLBCs-treated rats than that in the control rats. Regarding the renal function tests, the results revealed that blood urea and serum creatinine levels in the GLBCs-treated rats were significantly (P<0.05) lower than that in the control rats. However, microscopic examination of the kidney revealed that both the control and the GLBCs-treated groups presented similar type of histological manifestations.Conclusion: The data presented in this study suggested that the compounds found in GLBCs may act synergistically to suppress body weight gain, decrease the level of serum lipids, and decrease the level of renal function tests without any histological abnormalities effect in the kidney.

Early Real World Evidence on the Relative SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Effectiveness of Bivalent COVID-19 Booster Doses: a Narrative Review
Authors: Sane Schepisi Monica
Published: April 2023

The objective of this review is to give an overall view of COVID-19 bivalent vaccines knowledge and to explore their early available real world effectiveness evidence in the Omicron era.

Presently, bivalent vaccines are generally offered to all groups eligible for their next booster, as defined by the national vaccination campaign, with varying policies between countries.

The use of bivalent vaccines is supported by immunogenity studies, which, nevetheless, have led to contradictory conclusions, and are not generally designed to measure clinical impact.

In order to critically appraise the available research on real world effectiveness, a systematic literature search was performed: out of 876 references examined, 14 studies were finally included and extracted.

The findings of this review demonstrate modest to moderate additional protection of vaccination with bivalent BA.4-5 or BA.1 mRNA-booster vaccines against COVID-19 associated illness and hospitalization, -if compared with having received a monovalent dose as booster-, during a period when BA.5 and other Omicron sublineage viruses predominated globally,

Considering the complexity of the current immunity situation at global level, and the high level of heterogeneity both at study and at review level, these findings must be taken with caution. Further research on SARS-CoV-2 vaccine effectiveness against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants is encouraged.

Authors: Bętkowska A , Hanke J , Krankowska D , Mikuła T , Wiercińska-Drapało A
Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT
Arthropod-borne viral infections caused by dengue virus (DENV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) are prevalent in the same regions and are spread by the same mosquito type (Aedes) and have similar clinical manifestations. 
This study emphasized the challenges of diagnosing fever in a patient returning from a tropical area. We report a case of a 52-year-old patient who presented with fever, myalgia, and headache after travelling to Laos and Thailand. After ten days of the disease, the diagnosis of chikungunya was made. Recent travel history should be a standard part of assessment when consulting febrile patients and is essential for further diagnosis. Malaria should permanently be excluded from travellers returning from tropical regions with fever. In the differential diagnosis, dengue, chikungunya, and other mosquito-borne infections should be considered. Patients wishing to travel to such areas need to be educated beforehand on the necessary preventative measures.

STRESZCZENIE
Zakażenia wirusowe przenoszone przez stawonogi, wywoływane przez wirus dengi (DENV) i wirus chikungunya (CHIKV), występują w tych samych regionach i są rozprzestrzeniane przez ten sam rodzaj komarów (Aedes), a ich objawy kliniczne są podobne.
W pracy zwrócono uwagę na wyzwania związane z rozpoznaniem przyczyny gorączki u pacjentów powracających z obszarów tropikalnych. Przedstawiamy przypadek 52-letniego pacjenta, u którego wystąpiła gorączka, bóle mięśni i głowy po podróży do Laosu i Tajlandii. Po dziesięciu dniach trwania choroby postawiono rozpoznanie chikungunya. Wywiad dotyczący historii podróży powinien być standardowym elementem oceny podczas konsultacji pacjentów z gorączką i jest niezbędny do dalszej diagnostyki. U podróżnych powracających z regionów tropikalnych z gorączką należy w pierwszej kolejności wykluczać malarię. W diagnostyce różnicowej należy brać pod uwagę dengę, chikungunyę i inne choroby przenoszone przez komary. Pacjenci, którzy zamierzają podróżować do takich regionów, powinni wcześniej się przygotować w zakresie profilaktyki chorób
tropikalnych.

Jelenkori társadalmunkban a modernizáció és digitalizáció komoly lehetőségeket rejt magában a biztonságszolgáltatás különféle állami és piaci résztvevői számára, egyszersmind újszerű kihívásokat is teremt. Tanulmányunkban egy kvantitatív kutatás eredményeit mutatjuk be, amely során arra kerestük a választ, hogy Magyarországon a magánbiztonsági szektor piaci szereplőinek különböző szintű vezetői jelenleg milyen természetű szakmai kihívásokkal szembesülnek, illetve milyen súlyúnak érzik ezek jelenlétét a napi gyakorlatban. A kutatásban összesen 45 fő (n = 45) vagyonvédelmi feladatokat ellátó vezető vett részt. A válaszadók többsége (40,0%) az ipari szektor valamely meghatározó piaci vállalatánál tölt be vezető beosztást. A kutatás eredményei szerint, a vizsgálatban részt vevő biztonsági vezetők körében általánosságban a legnagyobb terhet az általuk vezetett munkavállalók irányítása jelenti, illetve a humán erőforrás minősége, képességeinek és tudásának hiányosságai képezik a legnagyobb szakmai kihívást, valamint kockázatot a mindennapi munkavégzés során.

Background: Neonatal hypoglycemia is the most common metabolic abnormality affecting newborns and contributes to increased morbidity and mortality. Objectives: The present systematic review and meta-analysis aim to explore the prevalence and risk factors associated with neonatal hypoglycemia in Iran. Methods: A systematic search was performed in Iranian and international databases, including SID, MagIran, Barakat Knowledge Network System, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Google Scholar search engine searched for relevant articles using valid keywords. The search process was updated until September 28, 2021. Data were analyzed using STATA 14 software, and the significance level for all tests was considered P<0.05. Results: In 14 reviewed articles with a sample size of 18217, the prevalence of hypoglycemia in Iranian newborns was 29% [95%CI: 21%, 37%, P=0.0001] (64% in boys and 37% in girls). The hypoglycemia prevalence was 67% in infants born via cesarean section compared to 24% in vaginally delivered infants. The lowest and highest prevalence of neonatal hypoglycemia was observed in Mashhad (12%) and Arak (53%), respectively. The most common risk factors for neonatal hypoglycemia in Iran were infant prematurity (61%), septicemia (45%), respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) (26%), small for gestational age (SGA) (26%), maternal diabetes (21%), hypocalcemia (19%), intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) (9%) and perinatal asphyxia (8%). Conclusions: Neonatal hypoglycemia is very common in Iran, affecting nearly one-third of Iranian newborns. The prevalence of hypoglycemia in boys was almost twice as high as that in girls and 2.5 times higher in infants born by cesarean section than in infants delivered vaginally. Furthermore, prematurity was reportedly the most common risk factor for neonatal hypoglycemia in Iran.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, titanyum abutment üzerinde, insan gingival fibroblast hücre hattının (HGF-1), tutunma ve proliferasyon açısından fiksasyon solüsyon ve sürelerinin etkilerinin SEM ve İmmunofloresan görüntüleme ile değerlendirilmesi ve kıyaslanmasıdır. Hazır temin edilen insan gingival hücre hattı (HGF-1) 10x10x1cm3 boyutunda 32 adet titanyum alaşım (Ti6Al4V) plaka üzerine ekildi. 8 grup belirlendi (n=4). 48 saat sonucunda hücreler değerlendirildi. Örnekler Gluteraldehit ile 30, 45, 60 dakika (Grup GA30, GA45, GA60), Formaldehit ile 6, 12, 24 saat (Grup FA6, FA12, FA24) ve Paraformeldehit ile 2 saat ve 20 dakika (Grup PFA2, PFA20) süre ile fikse edildi. Fiksasyon sonrası her gruptan 2 örnek Taramalı elektron mikroskobunda (SEM) ve 2 örnek İmmunofloresan mikroskobunda görüntülenmek için hazırlandı. Tüm gruplardaki hücrelerin temas alanları ölçüldü, saatler arasındaki farklılık istatistiksel olarak değerlendirildi. SEM değerlendirmesinde, en uygun HGF-1 hücre morfolojisi görüntülerinin formaldehit gruplarının iğsi şekilli homojen yayılım gösterdiği tespit edildi. FA12 grubunda hücre temas alanı %95,83 bulunmuş olup, tüm deney grupları içerisinde en iyi hücre yayılımını göstermiştir. Gluteraldehit ve paraformaldehit gruplarında birbirleriyle benzer şekilde hücrelerin uzamış, belirli alanlarda öbekleşmiş ve üst üste katmanlanmış belirgin çekirdekli hücre görüntüleri tespit edildi. İmmunofloresan görüntülerinde her üç (gluteraldehit, formaldehit, paraformaldehit) gruptaki hücrelerde de aktin filamentlerinin yoğunlukları benzer seviyelerde görülmesinin yanı sıra paraformaldehit gruplarında titanyum yüzeydeki hücre gövdelerinin diğer fiksatif gruplarına göre daha belirgin, iyi yayılmış ve daha büyük yüzey alanlarına sahip olduğu gözlendi. Fiksasyon hücre çalışmalarında görüntülemenin en kritik basamaklarından biridir. Araştırmacıların başarılı görüntü sonucu elde edebilmek için en uygun fiksasyon yöntemini göz önünde bulundurmaları gerekmektedir.
A gépészmérnök szakma és a képzés változásai a 3. ipari forradalomtól az ipar
4.0-ig
Authors: Pogátsnik Monika , Bráda Csaba Attila
Published: April 2023

Egy háromlépcsős kutatás keretében arra a kérdésre próbálunk választ adni, hogy a
gépészmérnök hallgatók oktatási rendszerében hol-, és milyen módosítások segítik annak
elérését, hogy a jelenleginél jobban megfeleljenek a munkaerő piac elvárásainak, a
végzést követően. A kutatás első lépésében meghatározzuk annak a „játéktérnek” a
kereteit, amiben a felsőfokú oktatás vevői igényeknek történő megfeleltetésének
lehetőségeit vizsgáljuk. Áttekintést adunk a mérnök, illetve a gépészmérnök fogalmának
változásáról, az adott korszak meghatározó lexikonjainak szócikkei alapján. A hivatalos
megfogalmazások mellett arra is kíváncsiak voltunk, hogy a képzésben érintett szakmai
közösség hogyan határozza meg a mérnök, és a gépészmérnök identitását. A gépészmérnök
hallgatók körében egy kifejtő, asszociációs kérdőívben kértük a fogalmak és hozzá
tartozó tevékenységek meghatározását. Harmadik lépésben a magyar ipar erőteljes
fejlesztésének időszakától, az 1970-es évek elejétől vizsgáltuk a gépészmérnök képzést,
annak időbeli és tartalmi változását. A vizsgálathoz a Miskolci Nehézipari Műszaki
Egyetem képzési dokumentumait használtuk. A hivatalosan meghatározott fogalmak időbeni
változása egyértelműen a tartalmi elemek bővülésére utal, ami a műszaki, technológiai
fejlődésre vezethető vissza.
The need and opportunities for developing emotional intelligence in education
Authors: Mészáros Attila , Szalóki Richárd
Published: April 2023

Emotional intelligence directly influences teacher performance as one of the
indicators of successful teaching evaluation. In a comprehensive meta-analysis, Martins,
Ramalho, and Morin (2010) showed that emotional intelligence is clearly, strongly, and
unequivocally related to mental and physical health. They examined emotional
intelligence in relation to school performance. It was shown that emotional intelligence
has organisational, clinical, health, educational and social implications. Another
question of great interest and importance is whether emotional intelligence can be
developed. Recent evidence from Di Fabio and Kenny (2011) suggests that specific
training may have significant benefits. We need to know more about what type of training
is needed and why (Di Fabio & Kenny, 2011).
In this publication we seek answers to the following questions:
- Can emotional intelligence be developed in education?
- If it can be developed, how?
- Is there a link between emotional intelligence and empathy?
- What are the links between emotional intelligence and coping strategies?
It is assumed that emotional intelligence can be learned. From birth, children are able
to decode the feelings of others, express their own emotional state, delay or even
control their emotions, i.e. they learn to "manage their emotions" (Kádár, A., 2012).
Therefore, it is important that teacher education institutions and teacher training
should place more emphasis on the development of emotional intelligence. This
development is necessary for two reasons. Firstly, as our research has shown, the number
of teachers who become emotionally weak, putting their own and their students' mental
health at risk, increases in proportion to the length of time in the profession. On the
other hand, their relational skills suggest that the majority of these teachers are
capable of effective interpersonal relationships, as they are well-intentioned, willing
to care about others, and even their strong desire to conform is underpinned by a desire
to maintain good social relationships (Baracsi, 2011).
The Image of Women’s Upper Commercial Schools in Hungarian Pedagogy in the First
Half of the 20th Century
Authors: Stummer Krisztina
Published: April 2023

Abstract
 
The purpose of this study is to examine what image the journal Hungarian Pedagogy
conveyed about women's upper commercial schools in Hungary. The articles were reviewed
for the period between 1909 and 1938. In connection with the writings, we are looking
for answers to the following questions: Does the journal address women’s upper
commercial schools? What is the gender distribution of the authors? What views does the
author convey about the school? How do the publications fit into the portrayal of women
of the era? In total, we found four relevant articles by two authors. Both represent a
conservative point of view and speak rather negatively about the type of school.
