Background: Nursing technicians play a crucial role in patient assessment and ensuring patient safety. However, limited research has explored the relationship between their knowledge, attitudes, practices regarding patient assessment and patient safety outcomes in Saudi Arabian hospitals. This study investigated this relationship and identified influencing factors.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 500 nursing technicians from 10 hospitals using convenience sampling. Data were collected via a validated questionnaire assessing knowledge, attitudes, practices, and safety outcomes. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression were used for analysis.

Results: Participants demonstrated good knowledge (M=80%, SD=12%), positive attitudes (M=85%, SD=10%), and moderate practices (M=70%, SD=15%) regarding patient assessment. Knowledge, attitudes, and practices were significantly correlated with each other (r=0.55-0.70, p<0.001) and with safety outcomes (r=0.40-0.60, p<0.001). Regression analysis revealed that knowledge (β=0.35, p<0.01), attitudes (β=0.30, p<0.01), and practices (β=0.25, p<0.05) significantly predicted safety outcomes.

Conclusion: Nursing technicians' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding patient assessment are interrelated and significantly influence patient safety outcomes. Targeted education, training, and policies are recommended to enhance nursing technicians' competencies and create a safety culture, ultimately improving patient safety in Saudi Arabian hospitals.
Halfway Houses: General Considerations, Present Time and Future
Authors:   Faculty of Special Education and Rehabilitation, University of Belgrade, Kovačević Milica
Published: December 2024

Halfway houses, as one of the frequently mentioned concepts of contemporary penological thought, have been modestly applied in practice, and have also been insufficiently researched. Therefore, the subject of the paper is a summary presentation of the notion of halfway houses, indicating their basic types and experiences gained so far in comparative practice. The goal is to highlight recommendations that could be relevant for domestic practice in Serbia, in the area of enforcement of criminal sanctions and post-penal care. The author applied the normative logical method and content analysis, using contemporary literature on topics related to the prison and the reintegration of ex-prisoners into everyday life. We conclude that halfway houses have been implemented in very diverse forms, with a wide range of implemented programs and services, which significantly complicates the formulation of any general assessments of their success in the domain of achieving reintegration. The author concludes that contemporary scientific thought recommends the organization of halfway houses with resources to meet the diverse needs of convicted persons, with strict adherence to ethical and professional standards and periodic evaluation.

Stress Management in Higher Education: The Role of On-line Yoga and Digital Learning
Authors: Sudhan P. , Parveen S. Jahira
Published: December 2024

Aim and Objective: The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 supports blended learning, allowing up to 40% of coursework online to enhance accessibility and inclusivity, with online yoga sessions offering stress relief for higher education students, especially during the pandemic. The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of online yoga as a stress management tool for higher education students, assessing its impact on reducing perceived stress levels. Additionally, it seeks to evaluate how online and digital learning methods in yoga can foster mindfulness and resilience against academic stress, in line with the NEP 2020’s emphasis on blended and accessible education.
 
Design/Methodology: The study employed a pre- and post-test experimental design involving 30 higher education students from SRM Institute of Science and Technology. Participants were divided into an experimental group, which underwent a 12-week online yoga program, and a control group, which received no intervention. Stress levels were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) before and after the intervention, with a follow-up assessment three months later. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 19.0, specifically the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, to compare stress level changes within and between groups.
 
Results: The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test revealed a statistically significant reduction in stress levels in the yoga group (Z = -3.413, p = 0.001), with all participants showing improvement. In contrast, the control group exhibited mixed results, with no significant change in stress levels (Z = -0.345, p = 0.730). This indicates that the online yoga program was effective in reducing stress, likely due to enhanced mindfulness practices, such as self-compassion, reduced self-criticism, and better emotional regulation.
 
Findings: The findings support the role of online and digital learning for yoga in managing academic stress, providing students with practical tools like asanas, pranayama, and meditation. Additionally, mindful internet and social media use were promoted as part of the program, offering a holistic approach to stress relief. Incorporate online yoga programs into the higher education curriculum to address stress and promote well-being, aligning with the NEP’s focus on blended learning. Mindfulness practices, including self-compassion and emotional regulation, should be integrated into stress management strategies . Expanding the yoga program to a larger, diverse student body will validate its effectiveness across academic settings.

Published: December 2024

The present study seeks to provide explanations for the interactional metadiscourse markers in the Chapter of Maryam in Qur an It investigates how these interactional markers are distributed all along the verses in this Chapter and how the Quranic discourse implements these markers in order to create particular hints and remarks for the reader . It divides these markers into two categories of stance and engagement marke rs upon which some key conclusions and insights are built . A mixed method approach is used in order to authentically gather, analyze, and evaluate the interactional markers that are included within the Chapter of Maryan . The data collection method is a corpus based one, where computational procedures are utilized so as to point out the linguistic forms that count as interactional markers. The data analysis method is a discourse based one due to the discursive nature of the selected data and its contextual and multidimensional reflections that affect understanding the role of interactional markers Some key conclusions to draw are: first engagement markers which particularly include instructions, reader pronouns, and rhetorical questions, are identified in (11) samples out of the overall (21), which constitutes the majority of the presented data ; second the data demonstrates a remarkable covering of interactional metadiscourse marker s, which elevates the profoundness and participation of the divine messages it conveys third interactional markers bring attention to the function of Qur'an as a living literature that is intended to instruct, motivate, and guide .

This study evaluates the service quality of Studio Toha using the SERVQUAL and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) methods. The research focuss on analyzing the gaps between customer expectations and actual service delivery across five key dimensions: reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and tangibles. Data was collected through a survey of studio users utilizing a questionnaire designed to measure the importance and satisfaction levels of service attributes. Validity testing showed that all attributes were valid (r > 0,361) and demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha 0,804). The findings reveal that attributes such as 24-hour security and a well-functioning air conditioning system had the highest positive SERVQUAL scores (0,30 and 0,21, respectively), indicating customer satisfaction in this area. However, attributes like lobby crew availability (0,03) and timeliness in studio preparation (0,07) require significant improvement. These results emphasize the importance of facility maintenance, employee training, and the provision of suggestion boxes as critical steps for service enhancement. This study suggests ongoing improvement strategies to better align services with customer expectations and increase overall satisfaction. The research offers practical insights for Studio Toha’s management to identify strengths and areas for improvement, thereby maintaining competitiveness in the studio rental industry.

Digital accounting offers numerous benefits in terms of efficiency and accuracy but it also presents significant cybersecurity challenges. The increasing sophistication of cyber threats necessitates a proactive and comprehensive approach to cybersecurity. This study investigated the effect of cybersecurity on digital accounting in Nigeria. The specific objectives are to: investigate the effect of firewalls on digital accounting of listed firms in Nigeria; determine how encryption affect digital accounting of listed firms in Nigeria; and examine the effect of multi-factor authentication (MFA) on digital accounting of listed firms in Nigeria. The chosen research design for this study is the survey research design. The population of the study comprises of 4,530 staffs and management in the accounting department, finance department and audit department of listed firms in Nigeria. The study adopted purposive sampling techniques and employed the Taro Yamane statistical formula to determine the sample of the study at 5% level of significant. The analysis indicated that none of the cybersecurity measures examined—firewalls, encryption, or MFA—demonstrated a statistically significant effect on the digital accounting practices of the firms studied. This lack of significance raises critical questions about the current state of cybersecurity practices within the Nigerian corporate environment. Based on the analysis results, the study recommended that it is crucial for listed firms in Nigeria to invest in comprehensive employee training and awareness programs as regards the subject matter. Organizations should develop and implement comprehensive cybersecurity strategies that encompass not only technological measures like firewalls, encryption, and multi-factor authentication but also organizational policies and procedures.

Les protestants et les ports de l’estuaire de la Loire (XVIe-XIXe siècles) : un enjeu stratégique
Authors: Nicol Charles
Published: December 2024

Dès le XVIe siècle, les idées de la Réforme se répandent sur l’estuaire de la Loire et à Nantes en particulier qui occupe le premier rang des ports français jusqu’au milieu du XVIIIe siècle. La circulation maritime et la présence hollandaise ont contribué à l’implantation des protestants notamment autour du commerce du sel. L’estuaire de la Loire représente un enjeu stratégique qui oppose le puissant parti ultracatholique de la Ligue au protestant Henri de Navarre bien avant la signature de l’édit de pacification de 1598. À sa révocation, les protestants disparaissent mais se réinstallent à Nantes et dans sa région dès le milieu du XVIIIe siècle. C’est encore la Loire qui justifie pour l’essentiel leur retour. Et c’est à partir de son estuaire que se conjugue un « protestantisme portuaire », du XVIe au XXe siècles.

Introduction: Work fatigue is common in air and ground crew since they have prolonged working hours. Work fatigue is excessive tiredness and decreased function during or after work. Fatigue can also affect sleep quality. Despite work fatigue causing disproportionately significant psychosocial dangers, limited studies have developed an intervention program. Thus, this study will develop a Fatigue Intervention Program (FIP) and evaluate its effectiveness in reducing air and ground crew fatigue. Methods: The FIP was developed after literature review and expert’s evaluation. This is a quasi-experimental study to evaluate the effectiveness of FIP. One east Malaysia base will be the intervention arm and one west Malaysia base will be the control arm. Each arm will comprise of 61 participants for a total of N=122. Work fatigue (primary outcome) and sleep quality (secondary outcome) will be evaluated using Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaires respectively. Baseline, post-intervention, post one-month, and post three-month assessments will be done for both arms. Data will be described by percentages, frequencies, and mean. Time and group interaction effects will be examined using General Estimating Equation. Discussion: Five experts gave a Content Validity Index of 0.90 to 1.00 for relevancy, clarity, adequacy, and agreeability in the evaluation of the FIP. Enrolment will take one month and data collection three months. The FIP is expected to reduce the domains of MFI such as reduced motivation, reduced activity, general, physical and mental fatigue. The FIP is also expected improve the PSQI domains; duration of sleep, days dysfunction due to sleepiness, sleep disturbance, efficiency, latency, and quality. Trial Registration: The study has been registered in Thai Clinical Trials Registry with approval number TCTR20221004004.

Introduction: Health promotion can effectively help people change their way of life and plays an important role in primary health care. Patient satisfaction is a measure of the effectiveness of healthcare services and has become a key indicator of the comprehensive evaluation of the medical system. WeChat is a social software widely used in China. This study explores the effectiveness of health promotion interventions via WeChat apps in improving patients’ satisfaction with primary health services. Methods: Patients who volunteered to participate in the study and met sample inclusion criteria were randomly selected from Xian Primary Health Service Centre, Shaanxi Province, China, and Randomized into the intervention group and control group for a Randomized controlled trial. The intervention group will receive health education intervention, the main intervention measures include 1. What is community health service; 2. The rights or benefits enjoyed by patients attending community health service centres; 3. The basic workflow of staff; 4. Introduction of routine physical examination items for patients; 5. Popularizing common medical knowledge; 6. Self-protection and nutrition during COVID-19; 8. Communication skills between patients and medical workers; 9. Discuss. The control group received the usual greeting and care. Outcome Measurements: Social demographic questionnaire and PSQ-18 questionnaire. Discussion: This study provides health promotion interventions for patients in primary health centres through WeChat to explore the factors affecting patient satisfaction and effective intervention measures. The research results will provide suggestions for improving primary healthcare services and provide a referential experience for health education research.
Parental Impact of Cultural Values on the Uptake of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccination by Their Daughters: A Protocol of Qualitative Meta-synthesis
Authors: Salleh Noor Shuhada , Lim Abdullah Khatijah
Published: December 2024

Introduction: The aim of this systematic review is to explore how parents’ perspectives on the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination are influenced by their cultural values, specifically with regard to their daughters. Adolescent girls are generally the primary targets for HPV vaccination and, in the majority of countries, parents/legal guardians have overall authority on this issue. However, it appears that cultural values could prove a powerful indicator in the parental choices that affect the uptake of HPV vaccination, which therefore needs to be carefully considered. Thus, exploring parents’ views is critical in improving HPV vaccination coverage. Methods: A systematic literature search will be conducted using CINAHL, PsycINFO, EMBASE, PubMed and Science Direct to identify eligible studies published in the English language. Two reviewers will select the studies independently and the quality of the studies will be evaluated using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) checklists. Thematic synthesis methods will be used to report themes specific to cultural values. Discussion: It is predicted that the results of the proposed review will be beneficial to identify and understand the culturally-related facilitators and barriers to the HPV vaccination of young women, as they are central to the HPV vaccination programme. Once concerns raised by parents are understood more fully, relevant interventions can be developed to address these concerns. This information is also crucial to the development of strategies to optimise HPV vaccine coverage among this population group by policy makers.

The purpose of the study was to analyse the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on China's agricultural sector, with a focus on technology upgrading, productivity improvement and access to new markets. The study empirically assessed the performance of leading agricultural companies such as Joyvio Beidahuang Agricultural Holdings, Zheng Dong, Beijing Capital Agro and Rainbow Agro using statistical data and executive interviews. The results confirmed that FDI significantly contributes to the productivity of the agricultural sector, with a 47.8% increase in yields and a 60% increase in exports. In addition, 60% of the companies were able to successfully enter new international markets by improving product quality and adopting modern technologies. An important aspect of the study was the identification of trade barriers, such as complex certification procedures and strict sanitary requirements, which make it difficult to access international markets. The results also highlighted the need for further improvements in supply chains, government support and innovation to enhance the competitiveness of China's agricultural sector in the global arena. In addition, the analysis shows that the supply chain ecosystem requires Optimisation to allocate resources more efficiently and reduce transportation costs. Finally, the study emphasised the importance of sustainable development and the environment in the context of global challenges, including climate change and food security. Effective cooperation with international partners and the integration of modern production approaches will ensure the long-term stability and development of China's agricultural sector, contributing to a sustainable and secure future for the country's agriculture sector

The cultivation of rye as a niche crop is gaining increasing importance in Ukraine. However, the rising cost of mineral fertilisers necessitates forecasting and market modelling to mitigate risks and enhance the economic efficiency of production. This study aimed to assess the current state of supply and demand in the rye market, which is considered a niche grain crop, and to forecast the effects of changes in mineral fertiliser costs on key market parameters under probable scenarios. The research employed comparative analysis, tabular representation, statistical economic approaches, abstract-logical reasoning, and econometric modelling. In particular, the econometric partial equilibrium model AGMEMOD has been utilised. The potential of rye as a niche crop has been revealed, the current state of its production has been analysed, and the key factors influencing the formation of supply and demand in the Ukrainian rye market have been identified; the dynamics of the supply and demand balance in the rye market, taking into account various economic and other factors, have been analysed; a forecast has been made of the consequences of changes in the cost of mineral fertilisers on the main parameters of the development of the rye market in Ukraine under several probable scenarios. The forecast extended to 2026 and evaluated the effects of different changes on yields, sown areas, gross production, and the economic efficiency of rye cultivation. The research provided a foundation for improving the efficiency of decision-making and implementation of management strategies, contributing to the achievement of national agricultural policy objectives, including ensuring food security. The proposed methodological approaches and research findings may be valuable for public and sectoral authorities in developing priority measures aimed at enhancing the performance of the domestic grain sector
