Published: November 2024

Background

Online weight loss programs have ambiguous efficacy. There is a growing body of evidence that weight loss programs when combined with apps have better outcomes; however, many apps lack an evidence-based approach to dietary changes for weight loss and do not rely on a theoretical framework for behavior change.

Objective

This study aimed to describe the development and the preliminary usability and acceptability testing of a web app that uses behavior change techniques (BCTs) to support users of a comprehensive online weight loss program.

Methods

The weight loss program intervention components were nutrient and weight tracking charts that needed a remotely accessible and online format. The app was designed by nutrition researchers and developers in a collaborative effort. A review of BCTs in weight loss and web apps was performed as well as an assessment of user needs to inform the initial prototype. A preliminary app prototype, version 1.0, was provided to participants of a weight loss trial (N=30) to assess for feasibility of its use. A full app prototype, version 2.0, was feasibility and acceptability tested by trial participants (n=11) with formal feedback by Likert-scale survey and open-ended questions. In the final round of testing, a user group of scientists and developers (n=11) was selected to provide a structured 3-month review through which the group met weekly for collective feedback sessions.

Results

The process resulted in a fully developed web app, MealPlot, by the Applied Research Institute, for meal planning and weight tracking that can be used by weight loss users and health professionals to track their patients. MealPlot includes a weight chart, a protein-fiber chart, and a chat feature. In addition, MealPlot has 2 distinct platforms, 1 for weight loss users and 1 for health professionals. Selected BCTs for incorporation into the app were goal setting, feedback, problem-solving, self-monitoring, and social support. Version 1.0 was used successfully to provide a functioning, online weight chart over the course of a 1-year trial. Version 2.0 provided a functional weight chart and meal planning page, but 8 out of 11 participants indicated MealPlot was difficult to use. Version 3.0 was developed based on feedback and strategies provided from user group testing.

Conclusions

The web app, MealPlot, was developed to improve outcomes and functionality of an online weight loss program by providing a remote method of tracking weight, food intake, and connecting users to health professionals for consistent guidance that is not otherwise available in a traditional in-person health care setting. The final version 3.0 of the web app will be refined based on findings of a review study gathering feedback from health professionals and from actual weight loss users who are part of a clinical weight loss trial.

Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

Effective interprofessional education (IPE) can facilitate teamwork between dentists and dental technicians, thereby enabling the efficient provision of high-quality dental care.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to design and assess an IPE module named Project 35, which was offered to dental and dental technology students early in their undergraduate training as a precursor to a more comprehensive IPE curriculum in dentistry and dental technology.

METHODS

Leveraging positive behavior support (PBS) theory, Project 35 was devised as an innovation and entrepreneurship educational training framework. It used project-based learning to cultivate teamwork skills and to promote the professional development of dental and dental technology students. The pilot study was designed to present the IPE module and preliminarily assess its validity. In survey 1, which was conducted immediately after the course, the dental and dental technology students’ self-reported skill acquisition and attitudes were assessed and compared. Survey 2, conducted 1 year after the course, focused on the comparative benefits of Project 35 training for dental technology students versus an untrained group.

RESULTS

A total of 66 students, including 36 dental students and 30 dental technology students who had undertaken the training, were recruited. Project 35 training improved teamwork skills for students in both disciplines comparably, and the students recognized the training as highly valuable and effective. The mean values for all items indicating skills improvement of students ranged from 4.13 (SD 0.797) to 4.63 (SD 0.495) for dental students and from 4.13 (SD 0.869) to 4.74 (SD 0.619) for dental technology students. Among the dental technology students, the trained group showed greater independent and innovative approaches and was more optimistic about the future of the profession than the nontrained group (P<.05).

CONCLUSIONS

Despite the small sample size, the validity of the Project 35 training system was evident, and the success of our pilot study provides a sound basis for the future development of IPE in clinical dental and dental technology education programs.

Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

Currently, conventional medicine for stroke treatment remains at a standstill. Korean medicine (KM), which is in high demand in Korea, has been shown to have a therapeutic effect on stroke; however, considering the absence of epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients receiving KM for stroke in Korea and prospective, large-scale, long-term studies on the efficacy and safety of KM, the acquisition of data from actual KM treatment on stroke is essential.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to collect and analyze the major clinical characteristics of stroke patients receiving KM treatment and investigate the effectiveness and safety of KM in the Korean population.

METHODS

The Registry of Stroke in the Korean Medicine Hospital (RoS-KoMH) is a prospective multicenter observational disease registry aimed at registering 500 sets of patients. Eligible adult patients diagnosed with cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, or subarachnoid hemorrhage who visited four Korean medicine hospitals as outpatients or hospitalizations will be continuously registered in the electronic case report form. Baseline data at the first visit; Korean medicine treatment, rehabilitation therapy, and concomitant therapy during the visit; stroke evaluation every four weeks after the first visit; laboratory findings at discharge or the last visit; and safety evaluation information after each acupuncture or pharmacopuncture treatment will be collected.

RESULTS

The RoS-KoMH study is the first and largest multicenter prospective registry to record comprehensive data on KM treatment of stroke.

CONCLUSIONS

The results of this study will provide high-quality evidence on the current state of stroke treatment using KM in actual clinical practice, as well as treatment effectiveness and safety, and will consequently contribute to the promotion and standardization of therapeutic interventions for stroke in Korea.

Published: November 2024

UNSTRUCTURED

Psychiatric advance directives (PAD), also known as advance statements or advance choice documents, are legal documents that enable people with mental health conditions to specify their treatment preferences in advance for possible future crises. Subtypes of PADs include crisis cards, joint crisis plans and self-binding directives (also known as Ulysses contracts). These instruments are intended to improve service user involvement and needs-orientation in the care of mental crises and to avoid traumatization through unwanted treatment. Research showed that people who complete a PAD tend to work more cooperatively with their clinician and experience fewer involuntary hospital admissions. Nevertheless, PADs have not been successfully mainstreamed into care due to multiple barriers to the implementation of PADs, mainly around the completion of PADs and their accessibility and use in crisis situations. The reasons for this include the lack of support in the completion process and acceptance problems, especially on the part of professionals. The research to date primarily recommends support for service users from facilitators, such as peer support workers, and training for all stakeholders. In this article, we argue that while these approaches can help to solve completion and acceptance challenges, they are not sufficient to ensure access to PADs in crisis situations. To ensure accessibility, we propose digital PADs, which offer considerable potential for overcoming these aforementioned barriers. Embedded in national health data infrastructures, PADs could be completed and accessed by service users themselves, possibly with the support of facilitators, and retrieved by any clinic in an emergency. We highlight the strengths and limitations of digital PADs and point out that the proposed solutions must be developed collaboratively and take into account digital inequalities to be effective support for people with serious mental health conditions.

Published: November 2024

Objective: This study employed an in silico drug repurposing strategy to identify potential human enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase (hENR) inhibitors.
Methods: The co-crystallized ligand triclosan was used as a reference standard. Initially, FDA-approved drugs from the Drug Bank database were docked against the hENR and compounds with appreciable binding affinities with the protein were shortlisted. The binding energy calculations, ADME analysis, and induced-fit docking results of shortlisted compounds led to the identification of two top hits, DB07676 and DB11399, which were further subjected to molecular dynamics simulation.
Results: Of 2,509 ligands docked via High Throughput Virtual Screening (HTVS), the top 250 were assessed with Standard Precision (SP) and the top 25 with Extra Precision (XP) mode. Thirteen compounds were selected based on interactions and XP scores, ranging from-15.245 to-10.031. Relative binding free energies of ligands DB07676 and DB11399 were-54.18 and-61.38 kcalmol-1, respectively. ADME analysis confirmed that both ligands followed Lipinski's Rule, though DB11399 had a high log P, which could be addressed by adding polar groups. Induced Fit scores for DB07676 and DB11399 were-10.592 and-11.220, respectively. Molecular Dynamics simulations confirmed superior stability of these complexes with RMSD ranging from 1.2 to 3.5 Å for the protein and 1.7 to 5.2 Å for the ligand with DB07676-protein complex and 1.4 to 3.0 Å for the protein and 1.1 to 5.8 Å for the ligand with DB11399-protein complex.
Conclusion: Our final findings suggested that DB07676 and DB11399 could be potential lead compounds as hENR inhibitors.

Published: November 2024

Objective: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder marked by elevated blood glucose levels, and one of the issues linked to DM involves the development of Diabetic Wounds (DW). DW is susceptible to infection and develops into chronic wounds if not treated properly. This study aimed to investigate the network pharmacology of N. sativa L. and T. foenum-graecum, emphasizing on their potential as DW treatment candidates.
Methods: Various databases were used in this study, including PubChem, Dr. Duke's phytochemistry and Ethnobotany, and KNApSAcK Family. Swiss Target Prediction and Way2Drug PASS Online were utilized for biological activity and protein target prediction. The DW pathway's protein-protein interactions were examined with the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway, Gene Cards, and STRING databases. STRING was used to predict the metabolite's action. The relationship between metabolites and target proteins was predicted using STITCH, and Cytoscape was used to visualize the network.
Result: The results showed that ten active ingredients (five active ingredients in N. sativa L. and five active ingredients in T. foenoem-graecum) contributed to DW healing by affecting Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), Interleukin-1beta (IL1B), JUN, Caspase 3 (CASP3), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Alpha Kinase Threonine-1 (AKT1), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (VEGFA), and Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase 3 (MAPK3) genes. Furthermore, the ten active ingredients correlated with twenty-eight intracellular proteins, resulting in a mechanism involving eight DW signalling pathways.
Conclusion: Based on network pharmacology analysis, we determine that N. sativa L. and T. foenoem-graecum combination can potentially treat DW.

Published: November 2024

Objective: The purpose of this study was to fabricate a dissolving microneedle patch using a 3D-printed master and characterize it using various techniques.
Methods: Dissolving microneedle patches were developed using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software and 3D printing. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) reverse molds were cast from the 3D-printed masters and filled with a solution of 20% Chitosan Oligosaccharide (COS) and 20% Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA). The patches were dried at room temperature and characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and in vitro skin penetration studies.
Results: Optical microscopy and SEM images showed the formation of a uniform microneedle. The peak at 1248 cm⁻¹ in the ATR-FTIR spectrum indicates the formation of cross-links between certain PVA radical groups and COS. XRD revealed that both polymers blended well and showed partial crystallinity, with peaks at 2θ = 11.39°, 2θ = 20°, and 2θ = 41°. DSC and TGA analyses revealed that the blend could withstand high temperatures with good stability at temperatures up to 200 °C. In vitro skin penetration studies confirmed that microneedles could successfully penetrate the skin, indicating their potential for effective transdermal drug delivery.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that COS/PVA dissolving microneedles fabricated using 3D printing and micro-molding have significant potential for transdermal drug delivery.
An Analysis of Servant and Autocratic Leadership in Church Organizations in Nigeria and Their Impact on Employee Performance, Satisfaction, and Productivity: Unraveling the Connection Between These Paradigms and Employee Contentment, Motivation, and Growth
Authors: Haruna Joel Bulus
Published: November 2024

Abstract: Leadership is central to contemporary management and organizational effectiveness. This study presents the findings of an examination and analysis of servant leadership, autocratic leadership, employee performance, employee satisfaction, and employee productivity. In particular, the servant leadership paradigm serves as a guide and model to organizational leadership, challenging traditional autocratic models. A conclusion is pursued with specific research, managerial, and theological implications. (Qiu & Dooley, 2022)(Angtud et al.2023)(Prasath et al.2021)(Chi et al., 2020)(Muzira et al.2020)(Sousa & van Dierendonck, 2021)(Hai & Van, 2021) Leaders exploiting internal resources and strengthening human and social capital lead to collective results such as competitive advantage and sustained performance. Literature reiterates that effective leaders tend to cultivate trust, innovation, and knowledge exchange by facilitating the creation of a culture that is both value-based and people-oriented. Leadership is the engine that drives human resources, and leadership behavior has been linked to job satisfaction, which is found to be positive when incumbents serve as servant leaders, and vice versa, found to be positive when leaders take on an autocratic leadership style.

Published: November 2024

The performance evaluation of Vidharbha Konkan Gramin Bank (VKGB) and Maharashtra Gramin Bank (MGB) operating in Maharashtra state is carried out. A comparative evaluation is also performed between them by using Capital Adequacy of CAMEL Model Hence, this chapter embodies different ratios under Capital Adequacy of CAMEL model. The banking sector is a critical component of the financial system and cornerstone of the global economic system. Banks are one of the oldest financial institutions in the financial system, which play a vital role in the mobilization of deposits and the disbursement of credit among the different sectors of the economy. A sound banking system acts as a fuel injection that stimulates economic productivity and industrial development by mobilizing savings and investing them in high return endeavors. Various research reports show that countries with a well-developed banking system have high GDP rate and higher economic growth. In the recent past, banking regulators and policy makers have proposed banking regulation by using the CAMEL (Capital adequacy, Asset quality, Management efficiency, Earnings and Liquidity) rating model to evaluate and assess the performance and financial soundness of the bank. CAMEL rating system is an important internal supervisory method to assess and distinguish financial institutions. The Federal Financial Institutions Oversight Board of USA was introduced CAMEL model for the first time in 1979. Regulations of the banking sector always monitors the performance of the banks to ensure efficient financial system based on CAMEL ratios.
Design of a Hybrid Excitation Controller for Multimachine Infinite Bus Power System
Authors: Joyeeta Tasnim Sarker
Published: November 2024

Abstract: A significant portion of contemporary power networks is still conventional power system that uses synchronous generators to produce electricity. Conventional power systems are operated under various operating situations by means of excitation systems and turbine-governor systems of synchronous generators. This paper proposes an excitation controller for synchronous generators (SGs) in a multi machine infinite bus (MMIB) power system through combining the idea of the nonlinear backstepping (BS) and partial feedback linearization methods. The model of third-order has been linearized into a second-order linearized system that is independent of the rotor angle which is unmeasurable, using the partial feedback linearization approach. In this case, the BS is applied to the partially linearized system. The idea is to find a control input that drives the system towards a desired behaviour while ensuring the transformed states converge to their target values. Lastly, simulation research is carried out on an MMIB system to analyse how the proposed control mechanism (BS-PFLC) performs in stabilizing the system under a three phase-to-ground fault conditions of power networks. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the BS-PFLC, an existing excitation controller has been used to compare the performance.

Authors: Lukyantus Lukyantus , Djau Nurmila Sari , Sagala Mastri Dihita
Published: November 2024

Tari Tiga Serangkai merupakan karya tari dari Sanggar Andari yang tercipta pada tahun 2002 atas respon terhadap konflik etnis yang terjadi di Kalimantan Barat pada tahun 1996. Kemajemukan itu dilihat oleh Kusmindari Triwati bukan sesuatu yang memecah belah justru menjadi simbolik Persatuan dan menjadi dasar terbentuknya tari Tiga Serangkai. Tari yang tidak lepas dari musik pengiringnya tentunya saling berkorelasi dalam konsep persatuan dari berbagai etnis tersebut, sehingga Intensitas Budaya yang terkandung di dalam karya ini menjadi menarik untuk ditelisik lebih dalam terutama sebagai sebuah medium pemersatu masyarakat yang mejemuk di Kalimantan Barat. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif serta Etnomusikologi sebagai pendekatan dalam menggali lebih dalam mengenai intensitas budaya dalam sudut pandang musik. Intensitas budaya yang terkandung dalam karya tari Tiga Serangkai oleh Sanggar Andari tampak melalui penyatuan elemen musik dan tarian dari berbagai latar belakang etnis yang ada di Kalimantan Barat. Intensitas Budaya yang terkandung dalam tari Tiga Serangkai bukan hanya sebuah karya gerak tari namun lebih dalam karya tersebut sebagai sebuah penggambaran sejarah, nilai, serta menjadi ruang dialektika antar suku menuju keharmonisan di Kalimantan Barat.
 
Tiga Serangkai dance is a dance work from Sanggar Andari that was created in 2002 in response to the ethnic conflict that occurred in West Kalimantan in 1996. The plurality is seen by Kusmindari Triwati as not something that divides, but instead becomes a symbolic unity and becomes the basis for the formation of Tiga Serangkai dance. The dance that cannot be separated from the accompanying music is certainly correlated with the concept of unity of the various ethnicities, so that the Cultural Intensity contained in this work becomes interesting to be examined more deeply, especially as a unifying medium for pluralistic communities in West Kalimantan. This research uses qualitative research using descriptive methods and Ethnomusicology as an approach in digging deeper into cultural intensity from a musical point of view. The cultural intensity contained in the Tiga Serangkai dance work by Sanggar Andari is seen through the unification of music and dance elements from various ethnic backgrounds in West Kalimantan. The cultural intensity contained in Tiga Serangkai dance is not only a work of dance movements but deeper than that work as a depiction of history, values, and a dialectical space between tribes towards harmony in West Kalimantan.

Perkembangan internet dan penggunaan media sosial yang semakin meningkat menjadi alasan terjadinya perundungan siber, yang merupakan tindakan agresif terus menerus dan seringkali tanpa tujuan yang jelas. Korban perundungan siber cenderung mengalami dampak negatif terhadap penerimaan diri, yang merupakan landasan penting dalam menerima dan memahami kemampuan diri, pengalaman pribadi, dan pengalaman orang lain. Pengalaman negatif korban, dapat dihadapi dengan strategi koping efektif, yakni koping religius sebagai upaya memahami dan menghadapi stresor dengan cara yang dianggap sakral. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari tahu hubungan koping religius dengan penerimaan diri. Penelitian ini menggunakan The Brief Religious Coping (BRCOPE) dan Berger’s Self Acceptance Scale yang keduanya telah diadaptasi. Jumlah subjek sebanyak 206 orang berusia 18-25 tahun. Teknik analisis menggunakan spearman correlation yang menunjukkan hubungan positif antara koping religius positif dengan penerimaan diri (r = 0,160, p = 0,021, p < 0,05) dan hubungan negatif antara koping religius negatif dengan penerimaan diri (r = 0,516, p = 0,000, p < 0,01). Artinya, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa koping religius positif berhubungan dengan peningkatan penerimaan diri pada dewasa awal korban perundungan siber, sementara koping religius negatif berhubungan dengan penurunan penerimaan diri.
 
The development of the internet and the increasing use of social media are the reasons for cyberbullying, which is a continuous aggressive action and often without a clear purpose. Victims of cyberbullying tend to experience a negative impact on self-acceptance, which is an important foundation in accepting and understanding one's abilities, personal experiences, and the experiences of others. Victims' negative experiences can be faced with effective coping strategies, namely religious coping as an effort to understand and deal with stressors in a way that is considered sacred. Therefore, this study aims to find out the relationship between religious coping and self-acceptance. This study used The Brief Religious Coping (BRCOPE) and Berger's Self Acceptance Scale, both of which have been adapted. The number of subjects was 206 people aged 18-25 years. The analysis technique used Spearman correlation which showed a positive relationship between positive religious coping and self-acceptance (r = 0.160, p = 0.021, p < 0.05) and a negative relationship between negative religious coping and self-acceptance (r = 0.516, p = 0.000, p < 0.01). That is, this study found that positive religious coping is associated with increased self-acceptance in early adult victims of cyberbullying, while negative religious coping is associated with decreased self-acceptance.

Authors: Poetri Maharanny , Melania Cahyani Fitri
Published: November 2024

Midsommar presents pagan tradition by hosting a midsummer festival by the cult Hårga in Halsingland, Northern Europe. The midsummer festival is a representation of Celtic ritual –consisting of several rituals as a pagan tradition preserved by the Hårga cult. This research aims to identify the representation of Celtic rituals in Ari Aster's Midsommar using Stuart Hall's perspective. Hall (1997) explained that representation is born from the production of the concept of meaning in the mind through language. The representation of Celtic rituals in Midsommar is a form of Hårga’s pagan tradition that among others provokes humanist criticism. This research uses a qualitative method with a cinematography approach. The research data was collected from direct observation of dialogue, narrative, and scenes in the film Midsommar –and presented in the form of selected screenshots. The results of this research include: 1) Midsummer festival is a representation of Celtic ritual. It symbolizes the gratitude of the Hårga cult. 2) Midsummer festival contains ritual instruments that convey the essence of Hårga’s pagan tradition and raise humanist issues. It negates humanity in some of its rituals, thus provoking humanist criticism as a rejection of the Celtic rituals represented.

The ease of digital access experienced by Gen Z gives rise to negative consequences such as fear of missing out due to anxiety about not catching up to discussed film in the media. This makes watching behavior a problematic coping. The aim of this study was to see the effect of FOMO on binge watching Gen Z with emotionally immature parents. This study used a quantitative non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling technique involving 161 male and female respondents with an average age of 14-24 years; enjoy watching series/films/dramas more than once without a break; have unpleasant experiences with biological parents. Data collection carried out online through a questionnaire adapting the Binge Watching Engagement and Symptoms Questionnaire measuring tool developed by Flayelle et al (2018) and The Online Fear of Missing Out Inventory developed by Sette (2019).

The Problem of Character’s Identity in the “Post-Estate” World: S.D. Dovlatov’s “Reserve”
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Agratin Andrey E. ,   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: November 2024

The fictional world of S.D. Dovlatov’s “Reserve” (1983) is conditionally divided into two segments: the museum-estate, on the one hand, and the area outside it, on the other hand. The latter exposes the unpredictability and disorderliness of existence, the former provides order in the character’s life. In the reserve, Alikhanov does not have to delve into himself — it is enough to “mechanically fulfill his role” and, thanks to this “reduction” of selfhood, maintain relative calm. The museum-estate is a space of irresponsibility, of performance, of the word without obligation. The character is comfortable in the reserve: any encounters with its inhabitants and guests take place at the level of speech activity. The word confuses the hero, “dissolves” his identity. For the hero, the museum-estate is a metonymy of the entire Russian-speaking culture, the borders of which he is afraid to cross, because he reduces his own self to speech activity (“In a foreign language we lose eighty percent of our personality”). Dovlatov’s “Reserve” shows how the “estate topos” undergoes fundamental changes in 20th century literature: from an axiologically significant phenomenon, the estate is transformed into a “product” of discourse that does not provide the character with reliable resources of self-identification.
