A Modified Hybrid Technique for Airway Management in a Patient with an Unusually Large Supraglottic Mass: A Case Report
Authors: Kapoor Dheeraj , Kumari Akanksha , Singh Manpreet , Narula Jasmine Kaur
Published: January 2025

Background: Supraglottic masses are rare and pose a distinct challenge during airway management due to their inherent risk of severe airway obstruction owing to their large size, compressing the glottic opening. Additionally, they may be friable and may lead to an increased risk of bleeding during airway manipulation. Case: We present the successful airway management of a 65-year-old male patient with a large supraglottic mass, posted for direct laryngoscopy and biopsy, utilizing the inherent characteristics of a hybrid intubation technique using a flexible fibreoptic bronchoscope and videolaryngoscope in conjunction with the SALAD (Suction Assisted Laryngoscopy and Airway Decontamination) technique to obtain the desired results. Conclusion: Managing the airway in patients with a large supraglottic mass requires a diligent selection of airway techniques. The combination of the hybrid technique of using fibreoptic-assisted, videolaryngoscopy-guided intubation along with the SALAD technique in the present case seems to be a plausible option and should be considered.

Authors: Mittal Parshant , Abayasinghe Chamika , Pangam Shilpa , Alshammari Nada
Published: January 2025

Hamman’s syndrome is a rare condition with spontaneous pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema that can be potentially life-threatening. Here we present a rare case of a 26-year-old primiparous woman who developed Hamman’s syndrome following uncomplicated spontaneous vaginal delivery. Post-delivery, she complained of chest tightness, swelling over the chest, neck, and face with a ‘popping noise’ to touch. On examination, she had evidence of subcutaneous emphysema. A chest x-ray (CXR) was done immediately, and pneumothorax was ruled out, but it had suspicious features of pneumomediastinum. The subsequent computed tomography (CT) chest confirmed the presence of pneumomediastinum. She was managed conservatively and had an uneventful recovery.

Published: January 2025

This study presents a water phantom study of verification of tangential breast treatment dose calculations in a two-dimensional treatment planning system (TPS) at the Department of Radiotherapy, in a National hospital in Sri Lanka. Measurements were made using a 0.6 cc Farmer-type cylindrical ionization chamber with an electrometer in a breast phantom made of water field Perspex structure. The measured doses in the breast were compared with calculations made on a two-dimensional radiotherapy treatment planning software THERAPLAN®PLUS version 3.55 using the digitized breast phantom contour. Overall, the measurements obtained from the TPS had an accuracy of ±5% compared to the direct measurements while most of the measurements lie within ±3%. And dose in the chest wall was below the tolerance level of the lung and heart. Thus, it was concluded that TPS calculations and dose distributions are within the clinically acceptable accuracy level of international standards (ICRU report 50).

Jet-Induced Compression Ignition (JICI)—Application of Spark-Assisted
Compression Ignition (SACI) in a Combustion System with Active
Pre-Chamber
Authors: Burkardt Patrick , Günther Marco , Villforth Jonas , Pischinger Stefan
Published: January 2025

The application of short burn durations at lean engine operation has the
potential to increase the efficiency of spark-ignition engines. To achieve short
burn durations, spark-assisted compression ignition (SACI) as well as active
pre-chamber (PC) combustion systems are suitable technologies. Since a
combination of these two combustion concepts has the potential to achieve
shorter burn durations than the application of only one of these concepts, the
concept of jet-induced compression ignition (JICI) was investigated in this
study. With the JICI, the fuel is ignited in the PC, and the combustion products
igniting the charge in the main combustion chamber (MC) triggered the
autoignition of the MC charge. A conventional gasoline fuel (RON 95 E10) and a
Porsche synthetic fuel (POSYN) were investigated to assess the fuel influence on
the JICI. Variations of the relative air/fuel ratio in the exhaust gas
(λex) were performed to evaluate both the occurrence of the JICI
and the dilution capability. To assess the sensitivity of the JICI, variations
of the engine speed and the engine load were performed. When using RON 95 E10, a
shift from a conventional PC combustion to the JICI was observed between
λex = 2.3 and λex = 2.5. The variations of the engine
speed and the engine load revealed an increased JICI intensity when the engine
speed decreased and when the engine load increased. When using POSYN, no JICI
was observed. The occurrence of the JICI was correlated to the knock resistances
of the fuels, i.e., the lower knock resistance of RON 95 E10 yielded the JICI,
whereas the higher one of POSYN did not. At λex = 2.8, applying POSYN
resulted in an increase of the burn duration of 5.5°CA, which was a relative
increase of 41%, compared to the use of RON 95 E10 due to the absence of the
JICI in case of POSYN. However, the application of POSYN resulted in the highest
net indicated efficiency (ηi,net). In particular, the application of
RON 95 E10 yielded a maximum of ηi,net = 41.5% at λex =
2.6, whereas using POSYN resulted in a maximum of ηi,net = 42.6% at
λex = 2.2 due to the higher knock resistance of POSYN.

Published: January 2025

This qualitative research explores the impact of technology on contemporary English vocabulary, focusing on neologisms and digital discourse. The study was conducted through semi-structured interviews with 12 English-speaking teachers from universities in Punjab, Pakistan, chosen for their deep engagement with both language and technology. The research aimed to understand how technological advancements influence language use in academic and professional contexts. Data collection was done via interviews, and the subsequent thematic analysis was carried out to extract dominant themes and trends. It was evident that there was significant change in words used due to the introduction of new neologisms, such as "selfie," "meme," "hashtag," and "streaming," all of which have their origin from the digital age. Moreover, other digital terminologies like "cloud computing," "IoT," and "AI" have become extensively absorbed, indicating a growing trend toward the convergence of technology and language. The study also found changes in communication styles, which include increased informality in teaching and professional settings, where there is a presence of abbreviations, emojis, and slang. These changes represent a broader shift toward digital discourse, in which social media has significantly impacted the use of language. Regarding teaching practices, technology has become an integral part of methodologies through interactive tools and digital assignments, further changing the learning environment. However, though some participants adopted these new lexical elements, others opposed them and stuck to the original vocabulary. Thus, this research demonstrates the extent to which technology impacts language: opportunities and challenges in the developing vocabulary of modern English.

Authors: Becker Marie
Published: January 2025

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of strength training on bone density in postmenopausal women in Germany.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings:  Strength training significantly enhances bone density in postmenopausal women, particularly in the lumbar spine and femoral neck regions. High-intensity resistance exercises have shown to be especially effective in promoting bone health and reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Structured training programs, including weight-bearing exercises, have demonstrated a notable reduction in bone loss rates. Additionally, combining strength training with proper nutrition, such as increased calcium and vitamin D intake, amplifies the positive effects on bone density.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Mechanotransductionx theory, load-bearing theory may be used to anchor future studies on the effect of strength training on bone density in postmenopausal women in Germany. Healthcare providers and fitness professionals should integrate strength training into the routine care of postmenopausal women. Policymakers should advocate for stronger support of strength training as part of public health initiatives targeting osteoporosis prevention and treatment in postmenopausal women.
Is Work Engagement More Important than Job Satisfaction to Increase Employee Synergy and Performance? Studies at State-Owned Companies in Indonesian
Authors: Hadiyat Yayan , Herman Herman , Ramly Amir T , Handrianto Budi
Published: January 2025

This study aims to investigate how job attitudes, specifically employee satisfaction and engagement, affect both synergy and performance among employees. The research was conducted at a state-owned enterprise (BUMN) in Jakarta, which manages ports across Indonesia and operates in four regional areas nationwide. The study utilized a quantitative design with a survey method, and sampling was performed through a census, taking all workers as the unit of analysis with a response rate of 91.3% (6,378 respondents out of 6,986 workers). Both job attitude components simultaneously predict employee synergy by 66% and performance by 65%. Employee engagement had a higher path coefficient in predicting both employee synergy and performance compared to employee satisfaction. This supports the view that employee engagement more significantly represents an individual’s psychological aspects towards their organization and the tasks associated with their work roles, indicating that high employee engagement reflects a robust psychological attachment—physical, cognitive, and emotional—and plays a more significant role in influencing performance. Employee satisfaction and engagement are two crucial job attitude components for workers and should continue to be a focus in the state-owned company to maintain their attachment to the organization and enhance their contribution and optimal performance. The findings of this research reinforce the viewpoint that differentiates the two; employee engagement is more related to the psychological aspects and the nature of the relationship between workers and the organization, whereas employee satisfaction pertains to the positive-negative affective process, or satisfaction-dissatisfaction regarding what is received from the company, both in terms of rewards and recognition, whether intrinsic or extrinsic.

Published: January 2025

This research aimed to investigate the effect of workload and motivation on employee performance. The study was conducted at The Banjarmasin City Land Office from September to October 2023, with a sample of 40 employees selected using a non-probability sampling technique with a purposive sampling or judgment sampling type. The data analysis method used is Structure Equation Modeling (SEM) and the SmartPLS (Partial Least Square) program to process data and carry out analysis of the data. The results showed that workload (X1) has a negative and significant influence on performance (Y), with an Original Sample value of -0.533 and P Values of 0.005. This means that the greater the workload, the lower the employee's performance. Meanwhile, motivation (X2) has a positive and significant influence on performance (Y), with an Original Sample value of 0.618 and P Values of 0.000. This means that the higher the employee's motivation, the higher their performance. The research supports Koesomowidjojo’s (2017) theory that workloads that are too high can reduce productivity and reduce employee performance, and also supports research by Wolor et al. (2019), and Paais & Pattiruhu (2020) who found that motivation has a positive influence on performance. Motivation is needed in organizations to encourage employees to achieve organizational goals. Motivation can come from within, so organizational leaders must create situations where employees can motivate themselves.

This study examines the role of Working Capital Management and Credit Management Policy as independent variables that influence bank Financial Performance. Using panel data from 34 Indonesian banks listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2022, We investigate the effect of various WCM components (i.e., Bank Size (BS), Debt Ratio (DR), Current Ratio (CR), and CMP (i.e., Equity Ratio to Risky Assets (ERRA), Rate of A Bank's Ability to Return Deposits (RBARD), and Average Collection Period (ACP)) on the company's financial performance by looking Return on Assets (ROA). Multiple regression analysis was performed using Stata 14 software to evaluate the hypothesis. The findings revealed that WCM and CMP were only able to explain about 11.96% of changes in the dependent variable. The outcomes of this study suggest that banks should pay attention to capital resource allocation because excessive amounts of capital incur substantial costs. If equity is dominated by debt and shares, excess capital will have a detrimental impact on the company's profit growth. In addition, as determined by the ACP variable, longer receivable terms may result in increased credit risk and decreased bank profits.
Exploring the Horizons of Fintech: A Systematic Review of the Existing Literature and Prospects for Future Research
Authors: Gupta Prashant Kumar , Gupta Manish
Published: January 2025

This paper aims to explore the literature on Fintech for plausible research gaps. We systematically searched abstracts on the Fintech literature from the Scopus abstracted journals to accomplish this aim. We then used multiple criteria, including the Association of Business Schools (ABS) journal rankings, to narrow from 4,567 to 340 documents. These 340 documents were published in high-ranked journals and aligned with our study objective. After reviewing those documents, we came up with three critical research gaps relating to (1) the relationship between Fintech concepts and technologies, (2) the use of Fintech in financial institutions and services, and (3) the role of contextual or geographical factors in influencing the popularity of Fintech. Scholars in the future are encouraged to work in the direction of bridging one or more of these gaps.
Frequency of Use of SDGS in Entrepreneurship Research
Authors: Onose Hiromu
Published: January 2025

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have gained attention for their societal importance and are being referenced in various contexts. In entrepreneurial research, they are often cited to tackle social issues. However, this differs in top-tier entrepreneurship journals, where references to SDGs are rare compared to the prevalent use of the concept of sustainability. This paper aims to explore how SDGs are treated in these journals and to provide guidance for future research in entrepreneurship. We analyze journals to see how SDGs are used in each paper. The findings show that while many articles mention SDGs, direct references to them are uncommon. This study highlights the challenge of fully addressing SDGs in entrepreneurial research. It also recognizes that this survey is just a snapshot, and results may change as we approach 2030, the target year for SDGs. There is ongoing debate on whether to define standards loosely or strictly based on SDGs. This survey is an interim report, and results may fluctuate as we near the significant milestone of 2030.

Published: January 2025

This study focused on the twenty resellers of buffalo dairy products amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It aims to discover the pivotal factors impacting resellers’ customer experience. Using quantitative and qualitative data gathering methods, pricing emerged as a critical factor when the cost for retail attracted resellers despite potential challenges. Reasonable pricing aligned with product value bolstered favorable opinions of the brand. However, production insufficiency led to frequent out-of-stock scenarios, impacting customer satisfaction and retention. Meeting reseller demand proved instrumental in shaping positive experiences. We underscore the significance of pricing strategies and production capacity in influencing reseller experiences, but brand value, social responsibility, and service performance were also significant. We shed light on the intricate interplay among pricing, product quality, and supply chain efficiency during the pandemic-induced market shifts from individual customer focus to resellers, offering actionable insights for businesses navigating similar landscape.
