Application of the Bair Hugger™ core body temperature at wrist region with upper body warming blanket: a prospective observational study
Authors: Oh Kyung Seo , Park Yong-Hee , Baek Chongwha , Woo Young-Cheol
Published: January 2024

Background: Body temperature monitoring is essential during the perioperative period. However, core body temperature measurement requires invasive device that may cause complications. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of non-invasive Bair Hugger™ core body temperature monitoring system (BHTMS) at the wrist compared with esophageal temperature under general anesthesia.Methods: Twenty adult patients of the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I or II were enrolled. BHTMS sensor was applied at wrist region. After tracheal intubation, an esophageal probe was inserted. Bair Hugger™ upper body warming blankets were used. Esophageal temperature (Teso) and BHTMS at wrist (Twrist) were recorded every 10 min.Results: Total of 257 pairs of data sets were analyzed: Teso and Twrist had no statistically significant difference (P = 0.103). Median of Teso and Twrist were 36.5°C and 36.4°C. Bland-Altman analysis showed Teso – Twrist of 0.14°C ± 1.44. Subsequently, 99 pairs of 0–40 min data set were analyzed and showed significant difference at 0 and 10 min (P < 0.001) but no significant difference at 20, 30 and 40 min. Bland– Altman plot by times showed difference (Teso - Twrist) of 1.49°C ± 2.00, 0.82°C ± 1.30, 0.29°C ± 1.32, –0.03°C ± 0.84, and –0.12°C ± 0.82 at 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 min respectively.Conclusions: BHTMS at wrist area under the upper body warming blanket is a potential alternative other than esophageal temperature for monitoring body temperature after 30 min of anesthesia induction.
Alternative streamflow-based approach to estimate catchment response time in medium to large catchments: case study in Primary Drainage Region X, South Africa
Authors: OJ Gericke  , JPJ Pietersen  , JC Smithers  , JA Du Plessis
Published: January 2024

Event-based estimates of the design flood in ungauged catchments are normally based on a single catchment response time parameter expressed as either the time of concentration (TC), lag time (TL) and/or time to peak (TP). In small, gauged catchments, a simplified convolution process between a single observed hyetograph and hydrograph is generally used to estimate these time parameters. In medium to large heterogeneous, gauged catchments, such a simplification is neither practical nor applicable, given that the variable antecedent soil moisture status resulting from previous rainfall events and spatially non-uniform rainfall hyetographs can result in multi-peaked hydrographs. In ungauged catchments, time parameters are estimated using either empirical or hydraulic methods. In South Africa (SA), unfortunately, the majority of the empirical methods recommended for general use were developed and verified in catchments ≤ 0.45 km² without using any local data. This paper presents the further development and verification of the streamflow-based approach developed by Gericke (2016) to estimate observed TP values and to derive a regional empirical TP equation in Primary Drainage Region X, SA. A semi-automated hydrograph analysis tool was developed to extract and analyse complete hydrographs for time parameter estimation using primary streamflow data from 51 flow-gauging sites. The observed TP values were estimated using three methods: (i) duration of total net rise of a multi-peaked hydrograph, (ii) triangular-shaped direct runoff hydrograph approximations, and (iii) linear catchment response functions. The combined use of these methods incorporated the high variability of event-based time parameters, and Method (iii), in conjunction with an ensemble-event approach sampled from the time parameter distributions, should replace the event-based approaches to enable the improved calibration of empirical time parameter equations. The conceptual approach used to derive the regional empirical TP equation should also be adopted when regional equations need to be derived at a national scale in SA.
A Case of Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 3a Showing Improvement in Neurofilament Light Chain of Cerebrospinal Fluid: Real-world Evidence
Authors: Ko Pan-Woo , Lee Jong-Mok
Published: January 2024

A 38-year-old male was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 3a, previously misdiagnosed as muscular dystrophy. He began treatment with nusinersen after getting approval from health insurance service. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was collected when nusinersen was intrathecally injected. We measured the neurofilament light chain (NfL) level using a single molecular array as an efficacy biomarker. The CSF NfL level was markedly decreased after finishing the loading dosage. Our case implies that nusinersen is also effective in adults with SMA as a biomarker from real-world evidence.

Pragmatic analysis of verbal attacks in Indonesian courtrooms: Exploring prevalence, nature, and cultural influences
Authors: Purnama Syahfitri
Published: January 2024

This study investigated the pragmatic aspects of verbal attacks within Indonesian courtrooms, specifically examining speech acts and their alignment with Grice's maxims. While previous research has explored verbal attacks in legal contexts, this study is expected to fill a gap in the literature by focusing on the pragmatic analysis of speech acts and Grice's maxims in Indonesian settings. Using a qualitative research approach and court transcripts, the speech acts contained in this research were systematically analyzed and categorized based on the type and illocutionary force while scrutinizing their adherence to Grice's maxims. The findings reveal a diverse range of speech acts deployed during verbal attacks, including assertive challenges and veiled accusations, often involving deliberate violations of Grice's maxims. Participants strategically flout maxims, utilizing implicatures to contribute to the confrontational nature of verbal attacks. This study is also expected to advance our understanding of the pragmatic dimensions of verbal attacks in Indonesian courtrooms and to describe the strategic use of language in the legal context. It has the potential to inform legal practice, enhancing comprehension of courtroom communication and promoting more effective and respectful exchanges within the Indonesian legal system.

Published: January 2024

The prediction that the pandemic is progressing towards becoming endemic does not change the fact that COVID-19 can still be fatal for individuals with weak immune systems. Therefore, anti-COVID drugs are still needed, even when the disease becomes endemic. With regards to SARS-CoV-2, the roles of 3CL protease are crucial in the formation of new virus particles. Therefore, inhibiting the function of these viral proteases will directly prevent viral replication in the human body. In this study, we report the production of a recombinant 3CL protease from SARS-CoV-2 in E. coli BL21 (DE3), which has not been extensively studied in Indonesia. The purified 3CL protease exhibited high solubility and functional activity. Additionally, the recombinant enzyme was characterised using the Rhodamine 110 fluorogenic peptide substrate. We showed that the recombinant 3CL protease was unstable in the presence of a DMSO concentration above 10%. Using the Rhodamine 110 fluorogenic peptide substrate, we found that the enzyme had a KM of 47.0 µM, Vmax of 0.41 RFU/s, and kcat/KM of 0.0088 RFU/μM2.s while the IC50 of the GC376 was 13.35 nM. We also tested three bioactive compounds (catechin, emodin, and 1,4-naphthoquinone) using this recombinant protease as a protein target, and 1,4-naphthoquinone was the most promising bioactive compound in inhibiting the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Rand Protease: The Role of Calcium-Binding Site on Stability with Mutagenesis and The Effectiveness on Leather Dehairing
Authors: Wei Phang Zi , Mohd Azrin Nur Aliyah , Mohamad Ali Mohd Shukuri , Muhd Noor Noor Dina
Published: January 2024

Bacillus subtilis produces a number of proteases, which are highly demanded in various industries, especially the thermostable one. Rand protease, originally isolated from B. subtilis, has thermostability and other remarkable properties such as organic solvent tolerance and pH stability. However, its vulnerability to instability-induced degradation has limited its applications. Because Rand protease contains two calcium ions for folding, activation, and, above all, stability, previous studies have shown that boosting the calcium-binding affinity enhances stability. Therefore, Rand protease’s susceptibility to degradation could be remedied by discovering the calcium-binding site having the greatest impact on stability for further calcium-binding affinity improvement. This was done with an in silico mutagenesis approach whereby one calcium-binding site was mutated to alanine and evaluated either the RMSD, the deviation of the mutated configuration from the original configuration using YASARA, or stability in terms of kcal/mol using HotSpot Wizard. The result found that calcium-binding sites Leu75 from YASARA and Tyr171 from HotSpot Wizard have higher influences on stability (our target). This result was also validated using Pymol, ExPASy ProtParam, and Molprobity. Additionally, Rand protease-chemical formulation dehairs leather best without additional metal ions at pH 7.0 and for 18 h. It also produced higher-quality leather with smaller pores and softer leather than chemical formulations. In contrast, hair breakage was observed in calcium treatment, which is compatible with the low dehairing activity achieved. In conclusion, Leu75 and Tyr171 are vital for calcium stabilisation and this enzyme has demonstrated its crucial efficacy in the leather dehairing industry.

Exploration in endodontic material had been made to maximise the elimination of microorganisms in root canal system to improve the treatment success rate. Inappropriate use of antibiotics can cause antibiotic resistance hence alternative is needed. Piper betle (PB), a medicinal herb to be used for its effective antibacterial properties against Enterococcus faecalis. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the cytotoxicity and antibacterial effects of ethanolic extract of PB in combination with AH Plus (AH) and BioRoot RCS (BR) and sealers alone. Four tested materials were used: AH Plus (AH); PB and AH plus (PBAH); BioRoot RCS (BR); and PB and BioRoot RCS (PBBR). At 24, 48, and 72 h, MTT assay on HPdLF was performed to measure the cytotoxicity. Antibacterial effect was evaluated with modified direct contact test (MDCT) against E. faecalis at fresh, day1-set and day-7-set state of tested materials. Data were analysed with SPSS version 25 with Tukey’s post-test at the level of significance of p = 0.05. PBAH showed significant lower cytotoxicity than AH (p = 0.028) at 48 h, with a higher percentage of cell viability compared AH (26.35%). PB reduce antibacterial effect of BR at all times at significant level (p = 0.000, 0.014, 0.032). Conclusion, PBAH has significant reduced cytotoxicity as compared to AH on HPdLF at 48 h. PBBR was cytotoxic to HPdLF at 24 and 48 h. Both AH and PBAH exhibited antibacterial property against E. faecalis, followed by BR and PBBR. In conclusion, PBAH is a potential enhanced root canal sealer and may be further studied to fully elicit its profound properties.

Published: January 2024

Ginger have strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can inhibit growth and trigger apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells. Dried ginger containing the main bioactive compound 6-shogaol is widely used for practical reasons in storage. In this study, the mechanism of 6-shogaol apoptosis was tried to be explained by looking at the Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) changes in HCT-116 cells. The results of DEGs analysis on Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) data which contained gene expression data for the HCT-116 cell group treated with 6-shogaol and the control group showed that there were 142 DEGs of the apoptotic pathway with 9 (nine) of them being share-DEGs of the apoptotic pathway with other pathways related to apoptosis such as MAPK signaling pathway, p53 signalling pathway, and protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum pathways. Based on the regulation of the 9 share-DEGs, it was also explained that the apoptotic activity of 6-shogaol mainly occurs through the p53 signalling pathway which involves up-regulation of BAX, BBC3, GADD45G, and TNFRSF10A.

Published: January 2024

Influential observations (IOs) are those observations which either alone or together with several other observations have detrimental effect on the computed values of various estimates. As such, it is very important to detect their presence. Several methods have been proposed to identify IOs that include the fast improvised influential distance (FIID). The FIID method has been shown to be more efficient than some existing methods. Nonetheless, the shortcoming of the FIID method is that, it is computationally not stable, still suffers from masking and swamping effects, time consuming issues and not using proper cut-off point. As a solution to this problem, a new robust version of influential distance method (RFIID) which is based on Reweighted Fast Consistent and High Breakdown (RFCH) estimator is proposed. The results of real data and Monte Carlo simulation study indicate that the RFIID able to correctly separate the IOs from the rest of data with the least computational running times, least swamping effect and no masking effect compared to the other methods in this study.

Published: January 2024

Malaysia has been misfortunate with intermittent haze episodes since 1997 which affect the airquality tremendously.In Malaysia, an instrument named as air pollution index (API) is utilizedin determining the quality of air, which is influenced by the presence of haze. API values arecalculated by considering the concentration of harmful particles in haze. So, any haze episodeheavily affects the API values and can be considered as a determining factor. Since Malaysiais prone to haze, it is crucial to identify and quantify the haze effect on the API values.Therefore, four models– an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), regressionmodel with ARIMA errors (ARIMAX), time series regression and Prophet models areemployed. It is found that ARIMAX (4,0,1) with non-zero mean is the best model in describingthe API data with presence of haze as external regressor based on the smallest adequacy anderror measures for training and test datasets. In conclusion, the effect of haze is significant indescribing the API values and thus, proper health management is required during haze episodes.

We use surface deformation measurements, including Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar data acquired by the Sentinel-1A satellites and Global Navigation Satellite System observations, to invert the fault geometry and coseismic slip distribution of the 2022 Mw 6.6 earthquake in Sichuan, China. The dip of the best-fitting model is 68°. The rupture of the 2022 Luding earthquake is dominated by northwest strike-slip movement, mainly concentrated over a length of about 20 km above a depth of 15 km. The maximum slip is at approximately 4 km depth with the maximum displacement of about 2.1 m. The results indicate that the 2022 Luding earthquake ruptured the shallow layer of the seismic zone. The slip distribution indicates that the Moxi–Shimian fault segment is fully locked from the surface down to 15 km, which is consistent with the estimated locking depth. Based on the Coulomb stress analysis and considering the strong locking state of the Anninghe fault, more attention should be paid to the possibility of earthquakes in the Anninghe fault.

On May 25, 2020, Mr. George Floyd, a Black man, was murdered by Derek Chauvin, a White police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In response to this disgusting display of police brutality, thousands of people all over the world began protesting Mr. Floyd’s killing. The Capital of the Confederacy, Richmond, Virginia, became one of many flashpoints for the public’s rage against white supremacy and systemic racism as thousands of people flooded the historic Monument District to topple, dismantle and re-frame Confederate monuments with protest slogans. Policing in the United States is rooted in the historical memory of enslavement, the unrestrained and authorized misuse of power by law enforcement, and conflicting values of discourse community. Protestors employed historical memory, which includes resistance, tolerance and strength in the face of tremendously difficult circumstances (Corredor, Wills-Obregon, Asensio-Brouard, 2018, 184). This groundswell of protests merged with those that sprang up for Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and others slain by police violence, producing a demand for racial justice that could not be stymied.  Racial disparate treatment is embedded in police brutality and in all societal institutions. This movement calls into question social justice accountability within social work education, practice, and policy. Have the protests been enough? Will the profession of social work address its own complicity in maintaining racism? 
To advance anti-racist social work education, the CSWE Task Force for Advance Anti-Racism was conceptualized in summer 2020 to center anti-racism pedagogies and anti-racist learning environments. Several diverse social work leaders, educators, researchers, community organizers, and students came together to explore how the profession should be re-imagined as a profession that advances anti-racism and the decentering of whiteness. The task force members met to develop, discuss, and refine recommendations for CSWE on Education Policy and Accreditation (EPA).  Employing content analysis, the authors identified major themes that emanated from the work of the Task Force. Content themes include how racism, white supremacy and ethnocracy underscores social work as an applied social science that maintains information structures, paradigms, theories, and practices ensconced in academia. The praxis recommendations of the task force include adapting theoretical frameworks for anti-racist social work education; incorporating anti-racism and critical theories, such as Critical Race Theory; updating social work competencies; promoting equitable approaches to hiring and retaining BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) faculty in different positions; and, creating a new anti-racism commission to continue anti-racism work.
Teaching Anti-Racism to White Social Work Students
Authors: Cornell Dennis
Published: January 2024

Social work education has traditionally been focused on Whiteness with evidence-based anti-racism practices not commonly taught in social work courses. Utilizing the six anti-racism intervention categories found in the literature review, while incorporating the anti-racism frameworks of learning/unlearning socially conditioned racism, this practice application article focuses on developing an anti-racism MSW course for a university. Additionally, suggestions to infuse anti-racism practices throughout the entirety of an MSW program are introduced. This approach will allow students to develop a more anti-racist mindset throughout their MSW studies. A two-day anti-racism workshop is also proposed which can be used for students or professionals in schools, organizations and companies for community teaching or continuing education.

To promote client safety, Finland’s Social Welfare Act requires social services employees to notify superiors of the observed risks in implementing clients’ social welfare. This study provides the first retrospective trend analysis of reports from a care reporting system (SPro-system) in Finland. Reports (n=1,433) were made by social work employees in the city of Helsinki in Finland, from October 2016 to December 2020. The statistical analysis focused on investigating trends in the reports. Most commonly reporters were practical nurses or other care workers (31.0%, n=444) or social advisors or other advisors of social work (23%, n=329). The total of observed risks or threats increased annually, except in 2019. The content of reports mainly related to a lack of realization of the status and rights of clients (32.5%, n=475) with the consequence for clients being moderate harm (28.3%, n=406). Information and discussion about client safety events (55.1%, n=860) were perceived as the most important ways to prevent the recurrence of such incidences. More empirical research is needed on client safety from the social work perspective. Risks in social care are diverse, but professionals’ observations may help to prevent them. Thus, reporting practices relating to client safety risks should be strongly encouraged, if not mandated.
Learning From Their Stakeholders

Emerging initially in Wuhan, China in December 2019, COVID-19 steadily spread throughout and overtook the world by March 2020. College and university administrators were tasked with responding to COVID-19’s unpredictability and persistence. The purpose of this study was to learn social work students’ attitudes toward a large, public Midwestern U.S. university’s response to COVID-19 at the outset and in January 2022 during the surge of COVID-19’s Omicron strain. Using mixed methods, 43 social work students were surveyed (28 MSW and 15 BSW) in January 2022. The survey’s data suggested four important lessons for universities navigating public health responses. First, students are not oblivious to the politics and budgeting concerns that drive many university decisions. Second, pertaining to the emergence of the Omicron variant, students are extremely divided over their level of concern with contracting the virus themselves and/or infecting others. Third, colleges and universities need to have a plan of action prepared for addressing future public health emergencies and digital equity. Finally, faculty and staff from social work departments need to be “at the table” when university decisions are made because social workers will ensure that student concerns and well-being are at the core of policy decisions.
Mitigating the Violence of Mass Immigration Detention Through Community-Based Case Management
Authors: Epps Douglas J. , Organista Kurt C.
Published: January 2024

Immigration detention causes psychological, physiological, and financial harm, primarily to noncitizens of color. Following a mass release of “lower-priority" individuals, responses to the COVID-19 pandemic provide an opportunity to envision a system more focused on freedom and pragmatism rather than retributive and ineffective notions of human warehousing and deterrence. Utilizing community-based case management (CBCM), a majority of detained noncitizens could be immediately returned to their families and communities under agency discretion. While some alternatives to incarceration serve as extensions of the carceral state, CBCM maintains required court appearances and preserves occupational and familial obligations at a fraction of detention costs without the need for intensive surveillance or restrictions. Drawing upon available research, theories of violence, and strengths-based case management, this article critically examines the emergence of mass immigration detention in the United States and considers a noncarceral approach to mitigate such state violence against detained noncitizens, as well as their families and communities. The profession of social work is uniquely positioned to implement CBCM to address the mass detention crisis and the grand challenge of smart decarceration. Social workers are well-equipped to 1) advocate for sensible decarceration policy, 2) conduct action-oriented scholarly research on the impacts of detention and outcomes of CBCM, and 3) provide integrated case management for noncitizens in immigration removal proceedings.
Conceptualizing Anti-Racist Social Work Pedagogy
Authors: Buzard Allison
Published: January 2024

Studies have suggested that faculty in higher education lack the preparation, training, tools, and collaboration to be effective anti-racist educators. This conceptual paper presents a new framework for social work faculty to consider as they evolve their anti-racist pedagogy. The history of the priorities and professionalization of social work is explored along with the origins and theoretical influences of social work education and accreditation, the inequitable system and structure of higher education, and the racial identity, lived experience, and education of individual educators. The proposed conceptual framework centers on practical strategies for increasing faculty capacity, building faculty reflexivity, and scaffolding faculty ability for social work anti-racist pedagogy. Strategies for increasing faculty capacity include professional development and training, places to process, and policy and support. Strategies for building faculty reflexivity focus on applying racial consciousness, assessing values, and adopting humility. Strategies for anti-racist pedagogy skills include building intentional class culture, braving collaborative learning, and banking on resistance. This paper concludes with discussions about anti-racist capacity-building for social work educators and broader implications for social work education in the United States.
Post-Master’s Career Progression of Social Workers
Authors: Apgar Dawn , Dolan Katherine
Published: January 2024

Social work is one of the fastest growing professions in the nation with an expected job growth of 9% by the end of the decade and more than 62,888 Masters of Social Work (MSW) students in the United States in 2021 (BLS, 2022; CSWE, 2023). The receipt of a graduate social work degree represents an important milestone, often accompanied by entry into professional practice. While much is written about formal social work education, scholarly literature has far fewer articles about the work life of social workers after graduation. This article presents social work career progression from a developmental perspective, an approach that has historically been used to examine the life course of clients. Typical tasks or “milestones” in early, middle, and later stages of clinical or direct practice careers are discussed. Adapting life course theory to examine the professional evolution of social workers is beneficial as it helps illuminate the typical stressors facing practitioners after completing their formal education. Understanding potential career opportunities and issues may help those entering social work to better socialize into the profession and transition from one stage to the next by anticipating what lies ahead. Using a developmental perspective to professionalization is also appropriate as, like in the life course, opportunities for growth should be ongoing and lifelong. Early, middle, and later career opportunities and challenges are identified within the three pillars of social work – regulation, education, and practice. Policy reforms to enhance social work licensure portability, life-long learning in the form of continuing education, and self-care practices will assist social workers to thrive in all career stages.
