Addressing constipation in people with Parkinson’s disease through complementary self-care interventions: A mixed method pilot study.
Authors:   , Alexander Bronwyn
Published: December 2024

Background: Self-care plays an essential role in managing chronic conditions, empowering individuals to improve their health and reduce reliance on health care services. Self-care has shown benefits for people with Parkinson’s disease, but research remains limited, particularly in managing constipation, a common symptom exacerbated by motor fluctuations, polypharmacy, and comorbidities. Current research into best practices for managing constipation in Parkinson’s disease is inadequate. Complementary therapies like reflexology have been anecdotally linked to improving bowel function, but evidence is lacking. Methods: This pilot mixed methods study used an explanatory sequential design. 11 participants were recruited over six weeks, to investigate if complementary self-care interventions, including reflexology and lifestyle modifications, could alleviate constipation for people with Parkinson’s disease. A single-group test-retest approach collected quantitative pre- and post-intervention data from the Constipation Severity Instrument and daily bowel diaries. A statistical comparison was conducted with a threshold of p < .05. Qualitative thematic analysis of post-project questionnaires and interviews provided deeper insights into participants’ experiences.

Results: Nine participants improved in at least one bowel diary indicator, with a statistically significant result in the obstructive defecation subscale of the Constipation Severity Instrument (p =.015). Findings suggest that integrating complementary self-care interventions with behavioural change techniques empowers people and may alleviate constipation in people with Parkinson’s disease.

Conclusion: This New Zealand based study revealed that while complementary self-care interventions show promise in managing constipation in Parkinson’s disease, their effectiveness varied among participants. The small sample size and intervention diversity limit definitive conclusions. Nonetheless, the study highlights the complexity of managing Parkinson’s disease and the benefits of self-care, personalised approaches and reducing stress. Reflexology emerged as a valuable relaxing self-care practice that complements conventional medicine.

Clinical and research implications: Person-centred care and behavioural change techniques are essential for managing complex chronic conditions like Parkinson's disease. A person-centred approach, which includes education, self-monitoring tools, and support systems, enhances engagement in self-care. Tailoring interventions to individual circumstances and involving significant others can boost motivation and adherence, supporting health outcomes, and empowering patients. Future research should include a randomised control trial, with strict criteria, longer intervention periods, and a larger sample size to strengthen findings.

Published: December 2024

Innovation and entrepreneurship education has become one of the important directions of higher education reform, but innovation and entrepreneurship education in medical colleges generally lags behind other discipline universities or comprehensive universities. Actively exploring the training mode of innovation and entrepreneurship talents is of great significance for cultivating innovative medical talents needed by the country and society. At present, innovation and entrepreneurship education in higher medical colleges is facing many challenges, the most important of which include the lack of concept in innovation and entrepreneurship education, medical students’ weak awareness of innovation and entrepreneurship, and poor construction of innovation and entrepreneurship teaching staff. To address these challenges, we will introduce incentive measures for innovation and entrepreneurship education at the college level, and improve the guarantee and incentive mechanisms for innovation and entrepreneurship education; create an “Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Platform” for teachers and students to exchange ideas on innovation and entrepreneurship; start building a high-quality team of innovation and entrepreneurship teachers, promote the continuous improvement of the quality of innovation and entrepreneurship education, and ensure the quality of medical talent training.

O presente trabalho tem por finalidade apresentar algumas reflexões acerca da importância das práticas de letramento visual voltadas para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem do estudante surdo na educação infantil. Objetiva-se por linhas gerais, analisar a relevância da pedagogia visual, em concordância com alguns pesquisadores da temática. Mais especificamente, abordar sobre a especificidade educacional do estudante surdo. Para isto, procedeu-se metodologicamente por uma abordagem qualitativa, de maneira bibliográfica. Fundamentou-se teoricamente em Goldfeld (2002), Quadros (2007), Fernandes (2006), entre outros pesquisadores. Ademais, fundamentou-se legalmente na Lei nº 10.436/2002 e no Decreto nº 5.626, cujos conceitos serviram para as nossas análises e reflexões. Neste sentido, verificou-se que, os estudantes surdos enquanto público da educação especial, têm suas especificidades de ensino e aprendizagem em relação a outras deficiências, tendo como principal característica a presença da Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras), como principal forma de comunicação, expressão e forma de vida. Evidenciando assim o uso de metodologias e práticas educacionais que o respeitem enquanto indivíduos, e, também as suas especificidades educacionais. Portanto, busca-se compreender os direcionamentos estendidos à educação básica na perspectiva inclusiva para a educação de surdos, buscando contribuir com as discussões em prol do acesso igualitário à educação e respeito a todos.

Published: December 2024

Abstract. This study, titled Translation Shifts in The Crown Netflix Series, aims to identify various types of translation shifts and assess the functional equivalence of these shifts within the context of the Netflix series The Crown. The research adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing ten episodes from one season as the primary data. Data collection focused on examining the translated texts accompanying each episode. The analysis is grounded in Catford's theory of translation shifts, which categorizes shifts into two main types: level and category shifts, further subdivided into structure, unit, class, and intra-system shifts. Additionally, the study applies Nida and Taber's functional equivalence theory, distinguishing between formal and dynamic equivalence. The findings reveal 100 level shifts and a significant occurrence of category shifts, with 120 structure shifts, 40 class shifts, 100 unit shifts, and 60 intra-system shifts. Formal equivalence emerged as the most frequently identified type among the translation shifts. The results provide critical global implications for translation practices in media, particularly highlighting the balance between preserving original meanings and adapting content for target audiences across different cultural and linguistic contexts. This research underscores the need for nuanced translation strategies in globally distributed media content. Keywords: Functional equivalence, Qualitative analysis, Translation shifts

Катализаторы состава NiхCе1-хAlO3-d (x = 0-0.5) готовили методом самораспространяющегося высокотемпературного синтеза в растворе. После термообработки полученных продуктов при 700 °С на воздухе по данным рентгенофазового анализа преимущественно формируется фаза алюмината церия и в небольшом количестве высокодисперсная фаза оксида церия. Увеличение содержания никеля в образце приводит к значительному снижению доли фазы оксида церия. Полученные на основе модифицированного ионами Ni2+ алюмината церия образцы являются предшественниками катализаторов для реакции углекислотной конверсии метана (УКМ) и характеризуется высокой удельной поверхностью и развитой пористой структурой. Изучение фазового состава этих образцов после предварительного восстановления в водородсодержащей газовой смеси («активации») и дальнейшей работы в условиях реакционной среды показало, что ионы Ni2+ восстанавливаются, выходят из структуры на поверхность и формируют частицы металлического Ni размером 5-8 нм. Исследовано влияние химического состава катализаторов на каталитические свойства в реакции УКМ. Представительный катализатор состава Ni0.5Cе0.5AlO3-d показал стабильную работу в реакции УКМ в течение 30 ч при Т=700 °C, конверсии CH4 77%, выходе H2 43% и экстремально малом времени контакта t =30 мс. Высокая каталитическая активность полученных катализаторов в реакции УКМ обусловлена формированием активной фазы в виде высокодисперсных наночастиц металлического Ni, устойчивых к зауглероживанию, на изначально большой удельной поверхности алюмината церия, стабилизированного ионами Ni2+.

Published: December 2024

Traditional language learning methods can often be tedious, leading to alienation and reduced motivation. We aimed to determine the impact of simulation games on developing students' communication skills when learning a foreign language. The following practical methods were used in the study: observation, expert evaluation, survey, and testing. The results, which we are excited to share, demonstrate the effectiveness of using simulation games compared to traditional teaching methods. The students of the experimental group (EG), through their hard work and the innovative approach of simulation games, improved their English level to B2 (R=1.76) compared to the students of the control group - CG (R=0.57). Also, the difference between the test results of the CG and the EG was in Reading Comprehension/Composition (22%), Listening (15%) and Interview (46%). Using simulation games influenced the improvement of communication skills, perception of information, and the desire for self-learning. Confidence in communication increased to 81% compared to the CG (50%). These results inspire hope for the future of foreign language education, underscoring the critical role of simulation games and providing valuable information about developing and implementing simulation scenarios to create situational real-life conditions for effective English language learning.

Authors: Yuliardi Ricki , Kusumah Yaya Sukjaya , Nurjanah Nurjanah , Juandi Dadang , Suparman Suparman
Published: December 2024

This study focuses on developing a web-based digital learning space (DLS) designed to support a STEM learning model that fosters students’ mathematical creativity. The DLS builds upon traditional learning management systems by introducing customizable elements tailored to individual teaching and learning environments (PTEs and PLEs). These features allow for the formation of diverse learning networks within the DLS. This enhanced version integrates frameworks for STEM learning, engaging activities, instructional videos, quizzes, evaluations, feedback tools, and a chat feature for direct communication with instructors. The research and development process employed a 4D model–define, design, develop, and disseminate–and involved validation from content and media experts, confirming the DLS’s reliability for broader testing. Results indicate that the STEM-based DLS is highly suitable for mathematics education, as shown by validation from experts, practicality tests from users, and effectiveness tests that measured students’ mathematical creativity. This study also found moderate improvement in students’ creative mathematical thinking (Ng = 0.554) within classrooms using the STEM-based DLS, highlighting its effectiveness for enhancing these skills. Thus, this STEM-focused DLS offers a mobile-friendly digital environment that effectively promotes students’ mathematical creativity.

Published: December 2024

Foundational arithmetic skills in early education and understanding effective teaching methodologies are fundamental. This paper studies how exploratory teaching (ET) impacts the integration of an applet and its effect on understanding multiplication in a second-grade primary school. The data collected assessed students’ knowledge levels and overall performance. The intervention sessions involved tasks in an applet to understand the meanings of the multiplication operation. The ET model was structured with five sessions, each with four phases. The results indicated that this method significantly improved students’ arithmetic self-efficacy and effectively integrated applets into the classroom for enhanced learning of arithmetic operations.
Consequences of Torsion in Four Dimensions
Authors:   , MEDINA MEDINA PERLA SOLEDAD
Published: December 2024

This thesis addresses two fundamental topics in the field of gravity. First, a reformulation of the Mimetic theory of gravity in first-order formalism for differential forms, i.e., the mimetic version of Einstein-Cartan-Kibble-Sciama (ECKS) gravity. Here we consider different possibilities on how torsion is af- fected by conformal transformations and discuss how this translates into the interpolation between two different conformal transformations of the spin con- nection, parameterized with a zero-form parameter λ. We prove that regardless of the type of transformation one chooses, in this setting torsion remains as a non-propagating field. We also discuss the conservation of the mimetic stress- energy tensor and show that the trace of the total stress-energy tensor is not null but depends on both, the value of λ and spacetime torsion. Second, the Einstein-Hilbert action is studied in the first-order formalism, considering the coupling of a scalar field to different topological invariants. The implications of this coupling on the dynamics of the gravitational field and the evolution of the early universe are analyzed. The results obtained contribute to a better understanding of gravity and its relationship with the topology of spacetime. Second, the Einstein-Hilbert action is studied in the first-order formalism, con- sidering the coupling of a scalar field to different topological invariants. The implications of these couplings on the field equations are analyzed. The re- sults obtained shed light on a theoretical framework where it could be easier to introduce couplings of scalar fields to the geometry.

La pandemia del COVID-19 impactó profundamente la vida cotidiana a nivel global, afectando a diversos grupos de manera desigual. En particular, las familias con niños, niñas y adolescentes (NNA) diagnosticados con Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) han enfrentado desafíos únicos debido a las restricciones sanitarias y los cambios drásticos en el entorno social equilibrando estos factores a las labores de cuidado. Este estudio se centra en examinar cómo la crisis sociosanitaria alteró la dinámica familiar en el Gran Concepción, desde la perspectiva de los padres y cuidadores que conviven a diario con NNA con TEA. El objetivo se centra en analizar las experiencias de estas familias durante la pandemia, identificando los cambios percibidos en la dinámica familiar y los agentes que han generado efectos en la misma vinculando estas experiencias con la distribución de tareas y el impacto en el bienestar familiar. Para el estudio se utilizó la metodología cualitativa y el diseño narrativo. La recolección de datos se realizó mediante entrevistas biográficas para capturar relatos detallados y comprender de manera holística las vivencias de los participantes. Los resultados proporcionan una visión integral de las dificultades enfrentadas y las adaptaciones realizadas durante este periodo crítico, demostrando las estrategias de respuesta a la crisis, la sobrecarga en el rol femenino, el trabajo de los holones en beneficio de los integrantes del grupo familiar y las modificaciones en la conducta de los NNA dentro del espectro autista.
Uncertainty estimation for time series classification: Exploring predictive uncertainty in transformer-based models for variable stars.
Authors:   , CADIZ LEYTON MARTINA
Published: December 2024

We aim to enhance transformer-based models for classifying astronomical light curves by incorporating uncertainty estimation techniques to detect misclassified instances. We tested our methods on labeled datasets from MACHO, OGLE-III, and ATLAS, introducing a framework that significantly improves the reliability of automated classification for the next-generation surveys. We used a transformer-based encoder, Astromer, designed for capturing representations of single-band light curves. We enhanced its capabilities by applying three methods for quantifying uncertainty: Monte Carlo Dropout (MC Dropout), Hierarchical Stochastic Attention (HSA), and a novel hybrid method combining both approaches, which we have named Hierarchical Attention with Monte Carlo Dropout (HA-MC Dropout). We compared these methods against a baseline of Deep Ensembles (DEs). To estimate uncertainty estimation scores for the misclassification task, we selected Sampled Maximum Probability (SMP), Probability Variance (PV), and Bayesian Active Learning by Disagreement (BALD) as uncertainty estimates. When testing predictive performance, HA-MC Dropout outperforms the baseline, achieving macro F1-scores of 79.8 ± 0.5 on OGLE, 84 ± 1.3 on ATLAS, and 76.6 ± 1.8 on MACHO. In the misclassification detection task, it achieves the highest improvement of 8.5 ± 1.6 over the baseline using the PV score on OGLE-III.

Research has been conducted on the effect of temperature variations on basalt-based glaze mixtures for stoneware ceramic applications using temperature variations of 1100, 1200, and 1300°C. This research aims to determine the optimum temperature for the best quality basalt glaze. The glaze sample was made using raw materials of asalt, kaolin, and feldspar their composition around 60%, 10%, and 30% wts respectively performing their grain sizes under 100 mesh. Material characterization was carried out by analyzing their XRF, XRD, and optical microscopy. At a burning temperature of 1200oC, the basalt-based glaze mixture significantly influences the structure and changes of glaze on the surface of the specimen from a macro-structural perspective. At the temperature of 1200°C, the glaze layer has reached the perfect melting point and coats the specimen surface evenly and results in not easily cracked and broken. It was proven that the glaze liquid could penetrate the pores, completely covering the surface morphology of the test object. Regarding the multitude of colors formed at temperature of 1200°C, it can optimize the content of dye metals such as iron, manganese, and cobalt in the glaze materials.

Tuberculosis (TB) and SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, both pose significant threats to public health, particularly among older adults with pre-existing TB. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA among geriatric TB patients at Infectious Disease Hospital Kano, Nigeria, using RT-PCR and to analyze associated demographic and clinical factors. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 185 geriatric TB patients (≥60 years) who attended an Infectious Disease Hospital. Respiratory samples were collected and tested for SARS-CoV-2 RNA using RT-PCR. Data on demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and RT-PCR results were analyzed. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and logistic regression, were used to assess prevalence and associations. Results Out of 185 participants, 18 (9.7%) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Positivity rates were higher in males (58.3%) compared to females (41.6%). The highest prevalence was observed in the 60-70 age group (11 positive cases), followed by the 70-80 group (4 positive cases) and those over 80 years (3 positive cases). Comorbidities included diabetes (9 positive cases), hypertension (2 positive cases), COPD (3 positive cases), and HIV (4 positive cases). Conclusion The study highlights a notable prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among geriatric TB patients, emphasizing the importance of enhanced screening and management strategies. The findings suggest higher susceptibility in males, older age groups, and those with comorbidities. Integrated diagnostic approaches combining RT-PCR and serological testing are recommended. Future research should focus on larger cohort studies to further explore the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on TB patients and develop effective interventions.

The methanol and aqueous extracts of different parts of Gnetum africanum plant were studied for their in vivo anti-plasmodial activity against chloroquine resistant Plasmodium berghei Nk 65 in Swiss albino mice. A four day curative standard test was used employing the rodent malaria parasite, Plasmodium berghei NK 65. The mice were divided into groups. Five mice were used for each of the seven test/treatment groups. The aqueous extract of the stem of Gnetum africanum showed the highest antiplasmodial activity. The extract significantly suppressed the parasite. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) observed when the level of parasitemia of the animals treated with the aqueous extract of the stem bark of Gnetum africanum was compared with the untreated, chloroquine standard control and other treatment groups. The aqueous leaf extract of Gnetum africanum had the lowest suppression on the parasite as none of the animals in this group survived to the end of the 14 days study. In as much as some the animals in the Gnetum africanum stem methanol (4.00±0.00%) and Gnetum africanum leaf methanol (3.20±0.00%) survived till the end of the 14 days study, the parasite load was increasing in both groups, thereby indicating that there was no significant antiplasmodial activity in these groups. Since Gnetum africanum showed good antiplasmodial activity, it is concluded that this plant has potentials in fighting malaria.
