Published: May 2024

Introduction. Presbycusis can have numerous consequences, particularly hearing impairment and impairment in oral communication, which can severely affect the psychological, emotional and social lives of older people. Numerous factors related to age-related hearing loss (time of onset, degree of hearing loss), as well as the wide range of socioeconomic factors, may contribute to the subjective perception of hearing impairment in individuals with presbycusis. In line with previous research on this topic, the question arises whether there is a difference between hearing aid users and non-users in the perception of hearing loss. Objective. To find out whether there is a difference in the subjective perception of hearing loss between people with presbycusis who use hearing AIDS and those who do not. Method. The sample consisted of 56 people diagnosed with presbycusis. Questionnaires for general demographic data, the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly Screening Version (HHIE-S) and the International Outcome Inventory -Hearing AIDS (IOI-HA) were used. Results. All individuals without amplification in this study had higher scores on the HHIE-S and confirmed hearing impairment, while 62.1% of those with amplification considered themselves disabled due to presbycusis. Hearing aid users generally had high scores on the IOI-HA, which leads us to conclude that hearing AIDS are extremely useful for the daily living and functioning of individuals with presbycusis. Conclusion. The results of the study emphasize the importance of using hearing AIDS in people with presbycusis, regardless of the degree of hearing loss and the age of the user.
Primary motor stereotypies
Authors: Zrnić Lana
Published: May 2024

Introduction. Motor stereotypies are almost always associated with developmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, etc. Although they most often occur together with sensory deprivation, they are also recognized as isolated. They occur in children with normal, typical development. These isolated stereotypies are called primary motor stereotypies. Aim. The aim of this paper is to provide a better insight into the specificity of this disorder and to show how it affects people (children), as well as to provide insight into the cause of primary motor stereotypies and possible approaches to treatment. Method. Descriptive method with a review of the literature published in the previous ten years, with a critical review. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were defined. Research on the cause of primary motor stereotypies, primary motor stereotypies themselves, and the treatment of primary motor stereotypies was reviewed. Results. Primary motor stereotypies in children with typical development negatively affect daily activities and disrupt social development, which leads to social stigmatization. Many interventions have been found in children with autism spectrum disorder (stereotypies are one of the main features of autism), but there is very little published research on interventions and treatments for primary motor stereotypies. The root of the problem of primary motor stereotypies is complex and involves certain parts of the cortex and pathways of information transmission. The problem is also the identification of this problem, which further affects the interventions themselves. Conclusion. The cause of primary motor stereotypies is still unknown, and behavioral therapies are the possible treatments for primary motor stereotypies. Based on the available research, there is not much literature on this topic, which provides us with exceptional potential and space for discovering new information and knowledge. With new information, there are many ways to work with these people.
Factors Affecting Utilization of Employee Assistance Program: A Case Study of ABSA Bank Zambia
Authors: Katema Rosemary , Hapunda Given
Published: May 2024

Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are programs implemented in the workplace to support individual employees in dealing with personal and work-related problems, with the goal of improving their well-being and contributing to organizational performance (Masi, 2010). An EAP is a program sponsored by an employer, a collective bargaining group, or an association of professionals, and is designed to help identify and resolve productivity issues that may arise from employees experiencing personal problems (EACC, 1991). ABSA bank implemented an EAP as a staff wellness initiative to assist employees. However, according to management reports, less than 5% of employees are utilizing the wellness program, which falls short of management's expectation of more than 50% participation. Therefore, this study aims to determine the reasons for the underutilization of EAPs. To achieve the research objectives, the study employed both descriptive and causal research designs, and logistic regression analysis was used to statistically identify the factors that influence the use of EAPs. A survey was conducted with employees at ABSA bank, with 100 employees selected as respondents through simple random sampling. Primary data was collected using a structured questionnaire. The study revealed that employees still value EAPs and consider them important. Through logistic regression analysis, the study identified lack of information, stigma, confidentiality, trust, and peer influence as factors that affect the utilization of EAPs, as reported by the respondents. All the results were statistically significant at p < 0.05. Therefore, the study recommends that ABSA management should implement measures to ensure the confidentiality of information shared during EAPs, provide more information to employees about the content and benefits of EAPs to encourage greater participation, clearly communicate the purpose of EAPs to employees, and select a dedicated team for EAPs who understand and uphold ethical standards.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the early outcomes of brain-first total body retrograde perfusion (Bf-TBRP) in comparison with retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP) under moderate hypothermia circulatory arrest (MHCA) for hemi-arch replacement surgery. Methods: We analyzed the data of 88 patients who underwent hemi-arch replacement with Bf-TBRP (n = 18) or RCP (n = 70) under MHCA at West China Hospital of Sichuan University between 1 January 2020, and 31 July 2022. In-hospital mortality, neurological deficits, and other adverse events were recorded, which were evaluated with logistic regression to determine risk factors. Results: There was no significant difference between the Bf-TBRP and RCP groups in in-hospital mortality, cardiac events, neurological deficits, dialysis, gastrointestinal complications, and paralysis (p > 0.05). The Bf-TBRP group was associated with significantly shorter hospital stay [Bf-TBRP: 8 d (interquartile range (IQR), 7–10) vs. RCP: 10 d (IQR, 8–13), p = 0.03] and fewer platelet transfusions [Bf-TBRP: 1.0 (IQR, 0–1.0) vs. RCP: 1.0 (IQR, 1.0–2.0), p = 0.05] than the RCP group. On multivariable logistic regression analysis, emergency surgery (p = 0.05) and surgery duration (p = 0.03) were determined to be risk factors. Conclusions: The study showed that Bf-TBRP is a safe technique for patients undergoing hemi-arch replacement with MHCA.

Background: While early rehabilitation exercise has been shown to improve cardiopulmonary function and functional outcomes after revascularization in individuals who have undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), further research is still needed to fully understand the importance of psychological status and limb functional rehabilitation following CABG. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of early rehabilitation exercise on lower limb function and mental health after coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods: Eighty patients who underwent CABG were randomly divided into a routine exercise group and an early rehabilitation exercise group. The degree of lower limb swelling, the amount of incision complications, the first time the patient got out of bed after the operation, the length of postoperative hospital stay, activity tolerance and postoperative psychological state were compared between the two groups. Results: The incidence of postoperative lower extremity oedema was 30% in the early rehabilitative exercise group as compared to 52.5% in the routine exercise group. Between the two groups, there was a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) in the incidence of postoperative lower limb edema as well as the amount of swelling in the thighs and ankles on postoperative days 1, 3, and 5. In the routine exercise group, the first time the patients got out of bed was 3.45 ± 1.09 days, and the length of postoperative hospitalization was 12.75 ± 5.06 days. In the early rehabilitation exercise group, the first time the patients got out of bed was 1.93 ± 0.57 days, and the length of postoperative hospitalization was 9.50 ± 2.92 days. There were statistically significant differences in these two indices between the two groups (p < 0.05). The activity tolerance of patients in the routine exercise group was 46.10 ± 19.09 min at 2 months after surgery and 69.88 ± 19.05 min at 3 months after surgery. The activity tolerance of patients in the early rehabilitation exercise group was 56.40 ± 17.42 min at 2 months after surgery and 105 ± 23.04 min at 3 months after surgery, and there was a significant difference in activity tolerance between the two groups at these time points following surgery (p < 0.05). In addition, there were statistically significant differences in the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Self-Assessment Scale-7 and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores between the two groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Early rehabilitation exercises can promote the recovery of lower limb function after CABG to a certain extent, shorten the postoperative bed rest time and hospital stay, and effectively improve postoperative psychological well-being and sleep quality.

Published: May 2024

La actividad física es crucial en la prevención y en el manejo de la diabetes mellitus (DM). Investigaciones sobre personas con elevado riesgo de DM indican que el ejercicio regular ayuda a reducir la probabilidad de desarrollar esta enfermedad. Los efectos positivos del ejercicio se pueden apreciar de forma inmediata, como mejorar la absorción de glucosa por los músculos, como a largo plazo, traduciéndose en niveles más bajos de hemoglobina glucosilada y menor glucosa sanguínea en ayuno y después de las comidas. Tradicionalmente, se ha recomendado el ejercicio aeróbico; sin embargo, el entrenamiento de resistencia también aporta beneficios significativos, como aumentar la fuerza y masa muscular y reducir el riesgo cardiovascular. Se enfoca además en pautas generales para la actividad física en pacientes diabéticos y aborda las precauciones necesarias para aquellos con complicaciones específicas. La diabetes tipo 2 es un problema creciente de salud pública, especialmente en México y, de manera destacada, en Chihuahua. El artículo subraya la importancia de la actividad física como tratamiento no medicamentoso, detallando la efectividad del ejercicio regular en el mejoramiento del control de la glucosa y la sensibilidad a la insulina, así como sus beneficios en la reducción de riesgos asociados a la diabetes.

This study aims to determine the consistency of the implementation of sanitation, especially the habit of washing hands with soap (CTPS) and the 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) waste management method in elementary schools in border areas. In carrying out the research it was found that the level of understanding of elementary school students in border areas about sanitation was still very low with a percentage reaching 70.00%, this was in line with the practice of implementing sanitation in schools which was still quite low, especially in the practice of washing hands with soap (CTPS) and maintaining cleanliness. waste reached 60.00%. While the results of a questionnaire with teacher respondents showed an understanding level of sanitation reaching 70.00%, this is in line with the practice of maintaining sanitation in the form of Hand Washing with Soap (CTPS) reaching 80.00%, but at the point of waste processing specifically with the 3R method (Reduce , Reuse, Recycle) garbage, 80.00% of respondents' answers did not understand the method. The linearity of the answers from the two respondent subjects on the activity of maintaining sanitation in schools consistently answered that it had not been carried out properly with a percentage of 70.00%. This is then clarified by the results of observations and interviews which show the practice of maintaining sanitation in the form of Hand Washing with Soap (CTPS) processing 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) waste. In the 3 elementary schools in the border area which were the observation sites, there was consistency with the facts on the ground that the implementation of sanitation in the form of Hand Washing with Soap (CTPS) processing 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) waste post-Covid 19 had not been carried out.

Gender is a distinct category that describes particular human characteristics. The most important thing about gender is that its meaning is created by society and people are expected to behave and express themselves in a certain way that are consistent with the socially pre-determined gender role associated with their sex. Transgender means- a category of people who are considered as being neither men nor women, such as transgender and intersex people. Transgender also knows the name of Hijra, Kinar and Transgender etc. Despite recent liberalization and legal progress towards protecting gender and sexuality identification, India’s hijra community continues to live on the margins of society.

Published: May 2024

Anyone trying to understand the general means of political economy development, China's remarkable accomplishment is an exceptionally - and only - case study. As importantly, China’s success holds solutions on how to make economies and policies more effective. So, how was China so successful? How did China proceed to achieve such an unprecedented historical achievement? How did it accomplish its remarkable economic transformation? How can a country over a billion people grow so fast, for so long? What made it happen? There may be cultural and/or ideological obstacles to pass, but it is in everyone’s interest to understand China. To answer these questions, this essay, based on a compilation of Chinese official documents, proposes three main themes: introduction to the state institutions, an overview of the economic model and a selection of national policies. As socialism with Chinese characteristics is now a new model claiming world attention, may this contribution add a little step in the improvement and comprehension of the Chinese model.
