Authors: Mailani Fitri , Huriani Emil , Krisdianto Boby Febri , Oktarina Elvi
Published: January 2025

Background:

Nurses working in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for COVID-19 are more at risk as they interact more with infected patients. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the experience of Indonesian nurses who work in ICU for COVID-19 patients.

Materials and Methods:

A qualitative hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used. A total of 20 nurses working in the respective ICUs of eight COVID-19 referral tertiary hospitals in Indonesia were recruited using purposive sampling. Semistructured individual video call interviews were conducted in June–September 2021; then, Diekelmann’s hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used to analyze and interpret the data.

Results:

Thirteen subthemes describing the following four themes, namely, the pleasing and bad feelings, new challenges of working, nursing professional growth, and nurse resource management for COVID-19

. Conclusions:

This study describes nurses’ experiences working in ICUs during the COVID-19 crisis, such as their feelings, perceived challenges, and received support. Nurse leaders play a significant role in providing adequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), flexible work shifts, and a caring and healing work environment. However, being aware of the limit of pressure that an individual can manage and providing adequate allowance as rewards for work in risky areas are essential to avoid burnout.

Published: January 2025

Clozapine is the drug of choice for patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia. However, it has a variety of adverse effects. Sialorrhea is a bothersome side effect that can have an impact on both medical and psychosocial aspects. There is limited literature on the use of 1% atropine eye drops sublingually for the treatment of clozapine-induced sialorrhea (CIS). In this case series, we report three patients of CIS treated successfully with 1% atropine eye drops given sublingually.
Managing Intradural Spinal Tumors – An Experience from Orthopedic Spine Surgeon
Authors: Anand S. Vijaya , Krishnakumar R. , Bharath H. D.
Published: January 2025

Background:

Back pain or neck pain is the most common complaint patients present to our outpatient department. It may be associated with or without radiating pain and neurological deficits. The spinal intradural tumors causing pain with or without radiating symptoms are not uncommon in our spine practice. It may be extramedullary or intramedullary. It is readily diagnosed by clinical examinations and radiological investigations. Most of the time, the treatment option is surgery which is decompression and excision of the tumor with or without instrumentation.

Materials and Methods:

It was a retrospective study done between 2018 and 2023. All the patients were followed for 1 year. It includes the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions. All patients had a posterior approach, surgery done by a single surgeon. The tumor material was sent for histopathological examinations. The follow-up was done neurologically by the Frankel scoring system at 3 months, 6 months, and at the end of 1 year and radiologically by magnetic resonance imaging at the end of 1 year.

Results and Discussion:

Most of the patients had schwannoma on histopathological examination. All patients had excellent postoperative outcomes. One patient had a dural leak complication treated by dural repair. None of the patients had recurrence. The spinal intradural tumor has a good prognosis due to its benign nature. The selection of the patients at the right time during disease and planning of surgery which is complete surgical excision carries a good prognosis.

Authors: Nisar Sarfaraz , Chukkanakal Jitendra , Xalxo Salim , Chandraker Ankita
Published: January 2025

Background:

Borderline premature birth can result in altered brain function and can present as inadequate neurological development leading to various neurological problems in premature infants. Further depending on whether birth is preterm or borderline preterm neurodevelopmental outcome can differ.

Objective:

The objective of the study was to compare neurodevelopmental outcome in late-preterm and term neonates at 9-month corrected age.

Materials and Methods:

A prospective cohort study was conducted among the two groups with 121 and 114 subjects each. All neonates were examined within the first 24 h of birth and then followed till discharge and again followed at 9 months. Gestational age at birth was assessed using the last menstrual period, antenatal ultrasonography, and modified New Ballard score. Neurodevelopmental parameters were assessed using Denver’s II developmental screening test at nine months.

Results:

Weight, maturity, and Ballard’s score were significantly more in term neonates compared to late-preterm neonates, but head circumference was comparable. All parameters at birth in both the groups were comparable. All neurodevelopmental parameters in the two groups were comparable. However, parameters such as not able to self-feed, not able to pass cubes, and not able to take two cubes were significantly delayed in late-preterm infants compared to term infants. Late preterm neonates were at increased risk of [OR=6.89 (95% CI=1.043-158.8)] and [RR=1.742 (95% CI=1.301-2.334)]. Fine motor milestone was significantly delayed in late-preterm individuals. In rest, other milestones including difference were not significant.

Conclusion:

The neurodevelopment among late-preterm neonates was lagging in some aspects at 9 months. Hence, they should be given special attention.
Reflexiones sobre el populismo historiográfico en España. Un ejercicio de historiografía del presente
Authors: Straehle-Porras Edgar
Published: January 2025

En este artículo se propone y analiza la categoría de populismo historiográfico. Se impulsa y desarrolla este concepto para hacer referencia a un tipo de relatos de la historia que, entre otras cosas y bajo el escudo de la divulgación histórica, politiza descaradamente el pasado, no sigue con rigor la metodología histórica, persigue fundamentalmente la conquista de la opinión, recurre a estrategias populistas, emotivas y presentistas e incluso se enfrenta públicamente a la investigación académica. El objetivo del texto es mostrar las especificidades de esta categoría de tanta influencia a nivel público y político hoy en día, analizar los diferentes tipos de recursos que emplea, distinguirlo de otros conceptos como los de nacionalismo historiográfico, revisionismo o pseudohistoria y, en fin, abordar algunos de los conflictos actuales entre la historia, la memoria y la posverdad.
Llegó rápido, vivió intensamente y murió joven. La primera ola punk en España (1975-1979): recepción social y cultural
Authors: Mota-Zurdo David , Cañas-Díez Sergio
Published: January 2025

Este artículo, que es fruto de una investigación centrada en la historia sociocultural, explora la irrupción y recepción del punk en España desde la muerte del dictador Francisco Franco hasta el final de la década de 1970; es decir, durante los primeros años de la transición a la democracia. En beneficio del tema tratado, hemos fragmentado artificialmente la cronología, huyendo de los cánones marcados por la historia política española, y, de ese modo, prima una óptica cultural. En este trabajo medimos y analizamos a través de la prensa (El País, ABC, Pueblo, Mundo Obrero, Hoja Oficial del Lunes) el impacto que tuvo la primera oleada punk sobre la sociedad española y explicamos cuál fue su reacción ante un género musical que, pronto, se convirtió en un fenómeno de masas. Reconstruimos, pues, una parte de la denominada España del “Rrollo”, concretamente, la escena contracultural vivida en Madrid, atendiendo a su impacto sobre otros puntos geográficos y a la pugna que esta tuvo con inercias, tradiciones y costumbres impuestas y arraigadas durante el régimen franquista y, asimismo, vigentes en los primeros años de la transición.
Verification of Vulnerable Road User Pre-Crash Scenarios in
Vision-Based Safety Applications
Authors: Hsu Chung-Jen
Published: January 2025

Verifying training datasets in vision-based vehicle safety applications is
crucial to understanding the potential limitations of detection capabilities
that may result in a higher safety risk. Vision-based pedestrian safety
applications with crash avoidance technologies rely on prompt detection to avoid
a crash. This research aims to develop a verification process for vulnerable
road user safety applications with vision-based detection functionalities. It
consists of reviewing the application’s safety requirements, identifying the
target objects of detection in the operational design domain and pre-crash
scenarios, and evaluating the safety risks qualitatively by examining the
training dataset based on the results of pre-crash scenarios classification. As
a demonstration, the process is implemented using open-source pedestrian
tracking software, and the pre-crash scenarios are classified based on the
trajectories of pedestrians in an example training dataset used in a pedestrian
automatic emergency braking system. The dataset provides abundant vulnerable
road users under various operating conditions. Results show that the dataset
does not cover snowy weather, fog, smoke, smog, and dust/dirt of particulate
matter conditions. Crossing, cut-in, and front pre-crash scenarios are less
well-represented in the dataset than pedestrians on the sidewalk. Very few
pedestrians were found in the front-near zone, which suggests the dataset lacks
sufficient imminent pre-crash scenarios that pose the greatest safety risk. The
performance of the pedestrian tracking software is evaluated and future research
for improving the proposed mechanism is discussed.
In-Vehicle Network Anomaly Detection Based on a Graph Attention
Network
Authors: Luo Feng , Luo Cheng , Wang Jiajia , Li Zhihao
Published: January 2025

The increased connectivity of vehicles expands the attack surface of in-vehicle
networks, enabling attackers to infiltrate through external interfaces and
inject malicious traffic. These malicious flows often contain anomalous semantic
information, potentially leading to misleading control instructions or erroneous
decisions. While most semantic-based anomaly detection methods for in-vehicle
networks focus on extracting semantic context, they often overlook interactions
and associations between multiple semantics, resulting in a high false positive
rate (FPR). To address these challenges, the Adaptive Structure Graph Attention
Network Model (AS-GAT) is proposed for in-vehicle network anomaly detection. Our
approach combines a semantic extractor with a continuously updated graph
structure learning method based on attention weight similarity constraints. The
semantic extractor identifies semantic features within messages, while the graph
structure learning module adaptively updates the graph structure based on
attention weights between semantics. This model effectively learns relationships
between multiple semantics in in-vehicle network packets, thereby enhancing
anomaly detection accuracy. A case study on a CAN-FD dataset from real vehicles
demonstrates that using AS-GAT achieves an F1 score of 97.56% in anomaly
detection, outperforming baseline methods by effectively identifying attack
packets causing abnormal semantic time series changes, such as fuzzing,
spoofing, and replay attacks. Additional experiments on two public datasets,
SWaT and WADI, further validate AS-GAT’s superior anomaly detection performance
compared to baseline models, highlighting the universal applicability of our
approach.
Influence of High-Temperature Annealing Parameters on Wear and
Friction Mechanisms in Polypropylene Carbon Fiber Composites
Authors: Nallasivam J.D. , Sundararaj S. , Kandavalli Sumanth Ratna , Pradab R.
Published: January 2025

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a rapidly growing additive manufacturing
method employed for printing fiber-reinforced polymer composites. Nonetheless,
the performance of printed parts is often constrained by inherent defects. This
study investigates how the varying annealing parameter affects the tribological
properties of FDM-produced polypropylene carbon fiber composites. The composite
pin specimens were created in a standard size of 35 mm height and 12 mm
diameter, based on the specifications of the tribometer pin holder. The impact
of high-temperature annealing process parameters are explored, specifically
annealing temperature and duration, while maintaining a fixed cooling rate. Two
set of printed samples were taken for post-annealing at temperature of 85°C for
60 and 90 min, respectively. The tribological properties were evaluated using a
dry pin-on-disc setup and examined both pre- (as-built) and post-annealing at
temperature of 85°C for 60 and 90 min printed samples. Tribological tests were
conducted under varying normal loads (5, 10, 15, and 20 N) and sliding
velocities (1 and 3 m/s), following the ASTM G99 standard test procedure.
Significantly notable enhancements in wear and friction properties were
consistently observed across all tribometer test conditions when the composites
underwent annealing at 85°C for 60 min, surpassing the performance of other
samples. These particular samples, subjected to the 85°C/60-min annealing
process, exhibited elevated hardness, diminished wear rates, and reduced
coefficients of friction (COF). A detailed examination using a scanning electron
microscope revealed that the wear mechanism on the surface of the
tribometer-tested samples exhibited milder wear when carbon fiber was added,
followed by annealing at 85°C for 60 min, compared to the 90-min annealing.
These promising results suggest that the proposed composites have potential
applications in industries such as prosthetics, aerospace, and automobiles.

Strengthening Social Accountability for Better Maternal Health Outcomes in Nepal
Authors: Nepal Adweeti , Dangol Santa Kumar
Published: January 2025

Introduction
Social accountability (SA) plays a significant role in strengthening health systems to deliver quality healthcare services, particularly in low-middle-income countries. In Nepal, SA approaches in the health sector have principally included citizen charters, social audits, and maternal and perinatal death surveillance and response components. SA has the potential to make a significant contribution to building a robust health system. However, its potential remains far from being realized. In this commentary, we briefly discuss the potentials as well as gaps with respect to the implementations issues concerning the citizen charter, social audit, functionalization of quality assurance committee, Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR), and the role ambiguity of federalism. Addressing these barriers and constraints could make SA more effective in improving maternal health in Nepal.

Published: January 2025

Insurance companies often use attractive promises of benefits as a marketing strategy to attract potential customers. However, in some cases, these promises are unrealistic and cannot be fulfilled, which ultimately harms the client. This study aims to analyze the legal aspects that regulate unrealistic insurance promises and their impact on legal protection for customers in Indonesia. This study uses normative juridical methods, this study examines applicable laws and regulations, such as Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection and Law Number 40 of 2014 concerning Insurance, as well as cases that occur in Indonesia related to unreasonable insurance promises. The results of the study show that despite regulations that protect consumers, the practice of selling insurance that is not transparent still often occurs. The study recommends that insurance companies increase transparency and the government tighten supervision to ensure that customer rights are well protected.

Reflection on the problem of teacher roles in a language classroom is intertwined with the consideration of the position of the learner and the shape of the learning environment. As has been evidenced by the history of language teaching methodologies, greater power and autonomy of one results in increased dependency of the others. The changes that digital learning settings brought to language classrooms, starting with Computer-Assisted Language Learning, through Web-based and distance learning, mobile-assisted language learning to now-current AI-assisted language learning, often strengthen the position of the learning setting and technology at the expense of the teacher. The purpose of the paper is to make an overview of the roles played by the teacher in those different digital settings, focusing to the greatest extent on teacher’s interaction with Artificial Intelligence as the current instructional setting for foreign language teaching.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to discuss the involvement of local cultural factors in corporate governance. The involvement of local cultural factors results in two phenomena: (1) controlling the power of owners and (2) reduced independence of the board of commissioners and audit committee in monitoring CEO and board performance. Design/methodology/approach – This qualitative study employs in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with respondents from five private and state-owned enterprises. Interviews and discussions were conducted with CEOs, commissioners, audit committee members, and owners. Findings – The study reveals (1) owners exert significant controlling power over CEOs and boards, influencing strategic decisions and distorting professional performance. (2) Non-interventionist owners utilize the board of commissioners and audit committee for indirect control, reducing independence. (3) Controlling power of ownership is more dominant in private enterprises than state-owned enterprises, reflecting Indonesia’s local culture, where CEOs and boards are perceived as “staff” accountable to owners. (4) Lack of independence among commissioners and audit committees is more prevalent in private enterprises due to cultural influences.

Introducción: la  variabilidad de la frecuencia cardiaca es un indicador clave de la salud cardiovascular y del equilibrio autonómico, influido por diversos factores, como la edad y el estrés. Objetivo: relacionar la variabilidad de la frecuencia cardiaca con la composición corporal, el nivel de actividad física, la calidad del sueño y el estrés autopercibido en adultos jóvenes chilenos con bajo riesgo cardiometabólico. Metodología: estudio transversal realizado durante el 2024, participación de 32 adultos jóvenes (18 a 30 años), seleccionados mediante criterios de inclusión basados en niveles adecuados de actividad física y la ausencia de enfermedades crónicas. El análisis considero las variables composición corporal, calidad del sueño, niveles de estrés, niveles de actividad física y la variabilidad de la frecuencia cardiaca, siendo esta última medida registrada en un periodo de 5 minutos en reposo.  Resultados: la edad mostró una relación negativa significativa con RMSSD (β = -0.43, t = -2.48, p = .02), lo que indica una disminución de la actividad parasimpática a medida que aumenta la edad. El estrés autopercibido, sin embargo, no mostró un impacto significativo en RMSSD (β = .09, p = .60) ni en la relación RR/RMSSD (β = -0.37, p = .04).  Discusión: Los hallazgos subrayan la importancia de la variabilidad de la frecuencia cardiaca como indicador de salud autonómica, destacando cómo la edad y el estrés afectan la modulación vagal. Estos resultados refuerzan la necesidad de integrar el monitoreo autonómico en estrategias preventivas para mejorar la salud cardiovascular. Conclusiones: la variabilidad de la frecuencia cardiaca se relaciona de manera significativa con la edad y el estrés autopercibido. Estos hallazgos subrayan la importancia de integrar el monitoreo autonómico en estrategias preventivas de salud.

O som se torna parte ativa da obra, criando um ambiente imersivo que vai além da visualidade, promovendo uma interação mais profunda com o espaço e intensificando a experiência estética e emocional da obra.

Women music photojournalists in the 80s escaped gender discrimination in the workforce because their work took place outside the newsroom. This finding merits an in-depth examination of women's photojournalist perspective during this time. This paper provides a unique perspective by analyzing the gender perceptions of the participants' professional experiences in photojournalism. The testimonies of five self-identified women, born between 1953 and 1963, who worked as music photographers between the 1970s and 1980s form the basis of this analysis. Their experiences offer valuable insight into the gender dynamics of the time. An analysis of the sample testimonies reveals that the public spaces where male and female photographers worked (e.g., concert halls, bars) had no significant impact on gender discrimination since editors worked with an economy of means compared to the work environments where men and women are forced to interact and socialize such as newsrooms. The findings of this study shed light on the gender dynamics in the music photography industry during the 1970s-1980s. They contribute to ethnographic research of subcultures and increase public interest in gender studies, particularly about education, professional performance, and perceptions of gender roles. The study underscores the need for further research and discussion on this topic.

The transformational leadership model as a strategy to optimize the work environment for teachers in educational institutions proposes a transformational approach to strengthen the workplace atmosphere among educators. Using a quantitative methodology and a non-experimental cross-sectional design, the research involved 65 participants, including teachers and administrative staff, who responded to surveys with 64 questions. The data analysis, conducted using SPSS software and validated through the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (p < 0.001), confirmed that implementing a transformational leadership model significantly improves the work environment. The results emphasize that this leadership approach, based on motivation and personal development, positively impacts collaboration and productivity within the educational institution, highlighting its potential to optimize the organizational climate in academic environments.

Learning styles allow the generation of skills and habits in the student so that knowledge is channeled according to their cognitive preferences, personal strengths and ways of processing information, thus optimizing its understanding and application in various contexts. In this work, the learning style of a group of 30 young people has been evaluated, in order to relate it to academic achievements and verify if there is any relationship for learning in the area of mathematics. The main results showed that, for the study of mathematics, the reflective style is the one that provides the best results, and the others, although they achieve the same good achievements, are not as high as the reflective style.
Formación inicial del profesorado de Lenguas extranjeras. Adecuación entre los referenciales de competencias y las titulaciones universitarias
Authors: Sanz-Trigueros Francisco Javier
Published: January 2025

Este artículo aborda la problemática de las convergencias lógicas entre los niveles organizativos supra y macro, que afectan a la formación competencial inicial del profesorado de Lenguas extranjeras. Centrando la atención en el valor de los marcos de competencias profesionales docentes que se han consensuado para el colectivo citado, se caracteriza el aportado en Teacher competences for languages in education (Bleichenbacher, 2019). Las competencias que establece se trasponen a un sistema categorial con el doble objetivo de: a) describir la adecuación entre tales competencias y las específicas contempladas en la formación inicial española del profesorado de Lenguas extranjeras; y b) determinar la intensidad con que se atiende a los componentes competenciales canónicos (cognitivo, instrumental, deontológico). El corpus documental corresponde a 99 Guías docentes de asignaturas de las Menciones de Lengua extranjera (Inglés/Francés), de las que retenemos 540 enunciados de competencias específicas. Su tratamiento semántico procede de la aplicación del análisis de contenido explícito, adoptando un enfoque comparativo-relacional. Los resultados revelan una importante falta de adecuación entre las competencias de orden supra y macro, y una intensidad significativamente baja de atención al componente deontológico propio de un saber ser/estar. De la interpretación y la discusión con la literatura, se concluye la necesidad de revisar colegiadamente las competencias específicas y de adaptar sus formulaciones a las expectativas actuales para una enseñanza eficaz de Lenguas extranjeras.

El contenido de este artículo, inscrito en las lógicas de la inclusión social y la diversidad lingüística, presenta la investigación llevada a cabo en un contexto no formal de enseñanza de Inglés como Lengua Extranjera (ILE) a alumnado en situación de vulnerabilidad socioeducativa. El estudio de naturaleza cualitativa se centra en indagar el impacto de metodologías activas en el desarrollo de las destrezas y actitudes comunicativas en y hacia el Inglés como Lengua Extranjera del alumnado de Educación Primaria que acude a un Laboratorio de idiomas situado en un entorno urbano socialmente deprimido. Para la recogida de datos se emplean la observación directa participante de 48 sesiones y las entrevistas a profesoras involucradas. Desde un enfoque descriptivo e interpretativo, el tratamiento de las informaciones se realiza con la aplicación de la técnica global del análisis de contenido temático conforme a un sistema previo de categorías y subcategorías. Los resultados revelan efectos significativos de las metodologías activas en las destrezas y actitudes comunicativas, concretamente en la comprensión oral y en la participación respectivamente. Se concluye que tanto las destrezas comunicativas orales como las actitudes comunicativas de este tipo de alumnado en situación de vulnerabilidad socioeducativa mejoran con el empleo de metodologías predominantemente activas.
Audio File Cryptography using Variable Number of Rounds for Blocks Substitution
Authors: Zaini Hatim , AlQadi Ziad
Published: January 2025

An efficient method of audio file cryptography will be introduced, the method will decrease both the encryption and decryption times comparing with other existing methods, the method will speed up the process of audio file cryptography. The introduced method will use a variable number of rounds for audio file cryptography, each round will use a block size, number of blocks and generated indices keys, these parameters will be variable and change from round to another. The private key will have a variable length, and it will depend on the selected number of rounds (192 bits for each round), this length will be good enough to produce a huge key space capable to resist hacking attacks, the produced decrypted file will be very sensitive to the selected values of the private key. The introduced method will be simple and easy to implement, it will use a simple chaotic logistic map model to generate the required for each round indices key. The introduced method will use a simple substitution operation to apply audio file samples substitution without altering the samples values and without using any extra logical and arithmetic operations (required for other existing methods). The introduced method will be tested and implemented using mat lab; the obtained results will be used to show that the method will satisfy the requirements of good crypto method.
Assessing the Need for a Fingerprint Payment System in Schools a Mixed-Method Analysis of Parent and Teacher Perceptions in South Malaysia

This study looks at the current need for fingerprint payment system in schools to intensify safety, promote smooth financial management, as well as curb the risk of fraud. In the beginning of the research, 300 parents and teachers in South Malaysia were the main respondents to gathering data using a mixed method which involved both surveys and semi-structured interviews. The use of the system was rated favourably in the quantitative part which translated to… The paper goes on to give some data which shows the high satisfaction with the system’s ease of use (M = 4.25, SD = 0.75) and thus, its viability for the parents so that they can track and control the student’s spending (M = 4.40, SD = 0.55). Nonetheless, there were such matters as accessibility for disabled children (M = 3.80, SD = 0.90) and data privacy (M = 3.85, SD = 0.80) that were brought out. The qualitative part echoes these results, with the respondents admiring the system as they saw it as a way of decreasing the use of cash, thereby, increasing the safety of the transactions, yet others were concerned about privacy and the threat to students’ accessibility. Fraud prevention was also an advantage, with both the quantitative and qualitative parts endorsing the function of the system, thus minimizing the possibility of unauthorized transactions. Following that, some respondents raised alarms… The outcome of the research implies that the fingerprint payment system has many advantages in the management and security of schools, although the vulnerable points like accessibility, privacy and the detection of fraud must be solved. Improvements in these areas would make the system a handy instrument for schools looking to revolutionize payment systems.
