The Effect of Job Satisfaction on the Performance of Saudi EFL Elementary School Teachers in Taif City
Authors: Sultan Mohammad Althuwaybi Razan
Published: July 2024

The increasing number of incapable elementary school students failing to achieve learning outcomes is attributed to their teachers’ low performance, indicative of a lack of ability or willingness to teach according to prescribed standards, stemming from teachers’ job dissatisfaction. Thus, this study will discuss the relationship between Saudi English as a Foreign Language (EFL) elementary teachers’ job satisfaction and their job performance and how job satisfaction influences performance. The field of job satisfaction research is international. However, few studies have been conducted in the Saudi contexts, while the existing literature does not adequately describe job satisfaction among Saudi elementary teachers. This study, which was conducted in Taif, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will fill that gap by examining the job satisfaction of Saudi EFL elementary school teachers and its relationship to their work performance. It is a mixed-methods study where the data will be gathered in two different ways: a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. Thus, this study will employ both quantitative and qualitative methods. The participants will include 111 Saudi EFL teachers teaching at the elementary level. The questionnaire that has been created consists of three dimensions. The first dimension is general information about the participants. The second and third dimensions of the questionnaire are developed by Werang et al. (2017b).  Then, the interview will be conducted with three participants from the same sample. (2017b). The research finding indicates that there is a positive relationship between teachers’ job satisfaction and their performance.
Antimicrobial efficiency of rosemary, thyme and clove essential oils on the preservation of marinated chicken breasts (fillets)
Authors: Demir Pelin , Aydemir Mehmet Emin , Alan Selçuk , Öksüztepe Gülsüm
Published: July 2024

Essential oils can be used as natural preservatives in the poultry meat industry. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of some essential oils on the microbial, physicochemical, and sensory properties of marinated chicken breast. For this purpose, rosemary, thyme, and clove essential oils were used at doses of 125 mg·kg-1 and 250 mg·kg-1 while marinating chicken breasts. After the marinated chicken breasts were divided into groups, they were stored in the refrigerator at 4°C. The results showed that 250 mg·kg-1 doses of essential oils, especially at 24 h, and rosemary had more inhibitory effects on some microbial (total mesophilic aerobic, total psychrophilic aerobic, and yeast–mold) parameters. However, the sensory groups with the addition of 125 mg·kg-1 were more accepted. Among these groups, the most acceptable group was the group that added 125 mg·kg-1 of thyme essential oil. The study shows that the use of thyme essential oil as an alternative to chemical preservatives may be beneficial both in extending the shelf life of marinated chicken breasts and in terms of consumer taste.
From Bonus to Onus: Taiwan’s Demographic Transition and Economic Development from 1950 to 2020
Authors: Yeh Kuang-Ho , Ni Guihua
Published: July 2024

The driving force behind population change lies in fertility. Over the past 70 years, Taiwan has undergone a fertility transition, rapidly declining from a high peak of natural fertility levels to an ultralow rate. This transition has released a substantial labor force and lead to a significant shift in resource allocation, contributing to rapid economic development in the late 20th century. During the same period, Taiwan’s population aging has progressed faster than that of most countries worldwide. The dependency ratio has negatively impact economic development, making social security an important aspect of resource allocation. The changes in age structure have introduced the concepts of “demographic bonus” and “demographic onus”. As a vibrant economy with a population of over 23 million, Taiwan has enjoyed the demographic bonus for more than a quarter of a century but is now facing the challenges of an aging society and declining fertility rates towards demographic onus. This article examines demographic transitions, economic performance and development in Taiwan from 1950 to 2020, elaborating on the definition, criteria, and quantitative delineation of the demographic bonus and demographic onus. It utilized population and economic statistics for a comparative analysis of the historical evolution, current situation, and prospects of the bonus and onus periods in Taiwan, providing a comprehensive narrative of its historical and empirical developments. Finally, the study underscores the complexity of balancing economic growth with demographic sustainability, emphasizing the necessity for multiple policy adjustments to address the adverse effects of demographic transitions.

Published: July 2024

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between physical activity level and tokophobia in pregnant women. Materials and Methods: 81 healthy pregnant women on 14-40 weeks of gestation were included in the study. The participant’s physical activity levels were measured using the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ), and their tokophobia was evaluated using the WIJMA Delivery Expectation/Experience Scale (W-DEQ). The W-DEQ results are divided into four subgroups: low fear of childbirth (W-DEQ score ≤ 37) moderate fear of childbirth (W-DEQ score between 38 and 65) severe fear of childbirth (W-DEQ score 66 -84) and clinical fear of childbirth (W-DEQ score ≥ 85). Results: We found a low level of tokophobia in participants (W-DEQ 3.57±36.19). Low-intensity physical activity decreased in the third trimester (78.82±40.88 MET-min/week) compared to the second trimester (120.10±54.80 MET-min/week) (p=0.001). Housework/care activities decreased in the third trimester (105.81±56.09 MET-min/week) compared to the second trimester (162.08±98.08 MET-min/week) (p=0.023). Low-tokophobia pregnant women (141.54 MET-min/week) were more active than moderate-tokophobia pregnant women (73.01MET-min/week) (p=0.026). There was a moderately strong negative correlation between the total W-DEQ score and the total PPAQ score (r=-0.431; p

Pregled istraživanja stavova, ponašanja i znanja nastavnika o internaliziranim poremećajima učenika
Authors: Petak Ana , Narić Sanja , Matković Roberta
Published: July 2024

Manje od polovice učenika s poremećajem i/ili nekim simptomima poremećaja naposljetku primi adekvatnu podršku, što ukazuje na potrebu za univerzalnim sustavom probira mentalnog zdravlja u školama. Adekvatna reakcija nastavnika na internalizirane simptome učenika nerijetko je glavni poticaj za uključivanje učenika u tretman, stoga je važno istražiti čimbenike koji takvom ponašanju pridonose. Cilj rada je sažeti postojeća istraživanja ponašanja, stavova i znanja nastavnika o učenicima s internaliziranim simptomima i poremećajima. Obuhvatom publikacija objavljenih između 2005. i 2021. godine rad sažima spoznaje o ponašanjima, stavovima i znanjima nastavnika o internaliziranim simptomima i poremećajima te njihovoj ulozi u procesu probira na probleme mentalnog zdravlja učenika. Dostupna istraživanja pokazuju da su nastavnici bolji u detekciji eksternaliziranih nego internaliziranih poremećaja i/ ili simptoma, da navode nedostatno znanje te imaju pogrešna uvjerenja o uzrocima i tijeku poremećaja, što može dovesti do nerazumijevanja njihove ozbiljnosti te kasnog upućivanja na stručnu procjenu. Nužna su dodatna istraživanja u području.
Prihvaćanje i korištenje Scratcha među početnicima u programiranju
Authors: Martinović Ana , Marangunić Nikola
Published: July 2024

Računalno programiranje razvija vještine rješavanja problema i logičkog zaključivanja te je njegova integracija u sve obrazovne razine nužna. Međutim, učenje programiranja nije jednostavno i predstavlja izazov i za učenike i za nastavnike. Zbog svoje jednostavnosti Scratch se koristi kao uvod u programiranje, a računalne vještine koje učenici razviju u Scratchu mogu se kasnije primijeniti u drugim programskim jezicima. U ovom radu istraživala se povezanost četiriju varijabli modela TAM, percipirane korisnosti, percipirane lakoće korištenja, stava prema korištenju i namjere korištenja programskog jezika Scratch kako bi se otkrio stav i namjera stvarnog korištenja Scratcha među početnicima u programiranju. Prema kvantitativnim rezultatima može se jasno reći da su svi učenici voljeli programiranje i željeli su ga poboljšati. Rezultati su, između ostalog, pokazali i kako učenici smatraju Scratch korisnim i jednostavnim za korištenje, ali ipak nedovoljno ozbiljnim za učenje drugih tekstualnih programskih jezika.
Aggressive behaviour in children with autism
Authors: Lukić Ana , Arsić Bojana , Gajić Anja
Published: July 2024

The aim of this research was to examine characteristics and predictors of aggressive behaviour in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), as well as to determine the presence of aggressive behaviour exhibited by children with ASD. The sample included 43 participants diagnosed with ASD. The instrument used was the Behaviour Problems Inventory - BPI-01 (Rojahn et al., 2002), aggression subscale. Our findings indicate that the children with ASD from our sample exhibit low rates of aggressive behaviour. Among those participants who do exhibit aggression towards others, the most prevalent forms of aggression were verbal aggression, grabbing and pulling others, cruelty and property destruction. Gender and the type of school the participants attended were not predictors of aggressive behaviours, while aggressive behaviour can be predicted by the child’s functionality level, where participants with low functioning ASD exhibit more aggressive behaviours in comparison with participants with high functioning ASD. Also, aggressive behaviour can be predicted by age, where increase in chronological age is negatively correlated with aggression. It is crucial that special educators address the aggressive behaviour exhibited by children with ASD from an early age. Even though it is important to know the topographies of aggression among children with ASD, which were presented in our findings, it is more important to examine the most common functions of aggression, or the reasons why the children with ASD exhibit these behaviours.
Integracija informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije (IKT) u predškolski odgoj i obrazovanje
Authors: Tomić Damir
Published: July 2024

Integracija informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije (IKT) u predškolski odgoj predmet je interesa istraživača i odgajatelja. Kako bi se dobio pregled trenutnog stanja istraživanja u ovom području, proveden je Sustavni pregled literature (SLR) koji se temeljio na tri istraživačka pitanja u 155 jedinstvenih publikacija: (1) Koje su dominantne istraživačke paradigme, vrste studija i metode korištene u relevantnom istraživanju integracije IKT-a u predškolski odgoj i obrazovanje?, (2) Koji su ključni nalazi primjene IKT-a u predškolskom odgoju i obrazovanju?, (3) Koje su preporuke za buduća istraživanja integracije IKT-a u predškolski odgoj i obrazovanje?. SLR je proveden u tri faze: odabir članka, sažeti pregled i cjeloviti pregled članka. Na temelju procjena istraživača i značajnih nalaza, autor je kritički pregledao sve provjerene članke i odabrao 16 relevantnih publikacija za daljnju analizu, isključujući publikacije s najnižom ocjenom relevantnosti ili lošom metodologijom. Nalazi SLR-a nude dragocjene uvide odgajateljima i kreatorima politika za donošenje odluka o integraciji IKT-a u predškolsko obrazovanje. Međutim, rezultati su također pokazali da učinkovita integracija IKT-a u predškolsko obrazovanje zahtijeva obuku i podršku odgajatelja, odabir odgovarajućih IKT alata i razvoj vještina digitalne pismenosti kod male djece.
Izazovi u odabiru autentičnih djela multikulturalne dječje književnosti u nastavi engleskoga kao stranoga jezika
Authors: Butković Matea
Published: July 2024

U nastavi engleskoga kao stranoga jezika sve se veća važnost pridaje korištenju autentične književnosti kako bi se obogatile vještine učenika za kritičko ispitivanje svijeta oko sebe. Autentična multikulturalna književnost, kao važna sastavnica interkulturalnoga obrazovanja, nastupa uime povijesno nedovoljno zastupljenih skupina i potencijalno potiče prihvaćanje, poštovanje i uvažavanje kulturne raznolikosti. S obzirom na to da učitelji imaju ključnu ulogu u njegovanju pozitivnoga stava prema kulturnoj raznolikosti, nužno ih je podržati i osnažiti kako bi sigurnije posezali za djelima autentične multikulturalne književnosti. Koristeći književne primjere, ovaj rad naglašava neke izazove s kojima se učitelji mogu suočiti kada se kreću kroz složeni svijet multikulturalne dječje književnosti: što se podrazumijeva pod multikulturalnom književnošću, što multikulturalnu književnost čini kulturno autentičnom, opasnost korištenja samo jednoga (autentičnoga) književnog izvora za prikaz života pripadnika određene marginalizirane skupine, oslanjanje na popise nagrađivanih i najprodavanijih dječjih knjiga kao jamstvo autentičnoga prikaza kulturne raznolikosti te izazov korištenja multikulturalne književnosti u nastavi stranoga jezika polazeći od zahtjevnijega leksika pa do primjerenosti određenih multikulturalnih tema dobi učenika.
The use of a picture activity schedule for vocal stereotypy reduction in a child with autism
Authors: Arsić Bojana , Gajić Anja , Vidojković Sara
Published: July 2024

Children with ASD exhibit auto-stimulatory behaviour of different types, with the most common behavioural problem being auto-stimulatory stereotyped behaviour. It is believed that vocal auto-stimulatory behaviour occurs because the individuals with ASD do not receive sufficient stimulation from their environment and therefore have the need to stimulate themselves by emitting vocal stereotypy of different form and magnitude. The participant is a 10-year-old boy diagnosed with ASD. The intervention used was a picture activity schedule. Results showed an immediate decrease in self-stimulatory behaviour upon implementation of the intervention, with a 100% success rate. There is insufficient research on the implementation of picture activity schedules in order to reduce self-stimulatory behaviour in children with ASD. The present study shows that picture activity schedules can be used in certain situations where it is inappropriate to exhibit self-stimulating behaviour. It is not certain if the picture activity schedule functioned as a prompt for the participant to actively engage in his spare time, or if it functioned as a discriminative stimulus for situations when the problem behaviour is inappropriate. The social validity of the intervention was discussed, as well as suggestions for future research implementation.
Zahtjevi suvremenog matematičkog obrazovanja i izbjegavanje odgovornosti nastavnika
Authors: Bešić Alma
Published: July 2024

Uzimajući u obzir sve lošije rezultate koje učenici srednje škole pokazuju na provjerama znanja iz matematike, možemo utvrditi da je trend niskih rezultata iz godine u godinu sve veći. Inicijalni, ali i drugi standardizirani testovi i provjere znanja iz matematike pokazuju da je iznimno visok postotak učenika srednjih škola, što uključuje smjerove u kojima je uspjeh iz matematike značajan za buduće obrazovanje, nema osnovna matematička znanja. Cilj ovog rada je analizirati problem nedostatka matematičkih znanja, vještina i sposobnosti među učenicima srednjih škola u Bosni i Hercegovini, kao i to kako se ovaj problem u obrazovnim institucijama sve češće „maskira“ ocjenama, koje su najčešće neobjektivne, a ne realan pokazatelj postignuća učenika. Nastavnici, koji imaju odgovornosti u kontekstu stvaranja kreativnog nastavnog okruženja, sve češće biraju pristup zasnovan na izbjegavanju odgovornosti za uspjeh učenika. Navedeno izbjegavanje obično se temelji na ocjenjivanju domaćih zadataka, neizrečenom dopuštenju za prepisivanje na pismenim provjerama znanja ili pak zahtjevima organizacije nastave u skladu s postojećim kurikulumom. Suprotno deontologiji i pedagoškoj etici, iznalaženjem načina vrednovanja akademskog nepoštenja učenika, nastavnik navedenim pristupom narušava vrijednosti i ideale obrazovne profesije.
CIVIL LAW RESULT AS A CRITERION FOR DIFFERENTIATION OF LEGAL STRUCTURES OF NOTARIAL ACTIONS
Authors: KAPLUNOVA N.A.
Published: July 2024

The author comprehensively analyzes the content of notary activity. Taking into account the content of the legal norms of the current legislation, it is established that all actions performed by a notary are differentiated into two groups: legally significant actions and auxiliary actions aimed at ensuring notarial activity. Notarial action is defined as a related system of legal facts, which represents the unity of notarial proceedings and the result of such proceedings. The article defines the technical and legally significant actions performed by a notary. The author combines groups of notarial actions according to the criterion of achieving a civil result by using the construction of classifications of notarial actions presented in the legal literature. The existence of three legal structures of notarial actions has been revealed: the first composition is to ensure the safety of property, the second composition is to ensure the fulfillment of obligations, the third composition is to ensure the realization of rights.

Terminality of life from the perspective of pre-hospital care doctors
Authors: Silva dos Santos Carlos Adriano , Albuquerque Monique , Gomes Rosamaria
Published: July 2024

The aim of this study was to find out what medical professionals from a pre-hospital care service understand about the end of life and the non-resuscitation of chronic patients at the end of life. This was an exploratory qualitative case study, using semi-structured and open questions interviews. There were 33 doctors who demonstrated a biological understanding of death; they understood not intervening as futile and without benefit to the patient; they listed the patient's family as a complicating element in decision-making; and recognized respect for the patient's autonomy regarding their end-of-life decision. We conclude that the doctors facing the patient at the end of life respect the patient's autonomy and try to do their best to minimize his suffering, even if exposed to pressure from the patient’s family to take a different course of action than the patient would like and what is necessary for the occasion of service.
Innovación abierta
Authors: Morales Guerrero Ricardo Ernesto , Alvarez-Aros Erick Leobardo
Published: July 2024

Cuando una compañía ofrece y sostiene una propuesta de valor peculiar al mercado, es porque dispone de una estructura competitiva; pero para lograrla es esencial la gestión de la innovación. Pese a la transcendencia de esta última, algunas empresas encuentran limitantes para materializarla, principalmente por ausencia de recursos, así como capacidades internas.
El propósito de la investigación fue estudiar la Innovación Abierta como una alternativa para aquellas organizaciones que presentan obstáculos en la gestión y en la consecución de resultados. En el manuscrito se presentan concepciones, estrategias, aplicaciones del modelo abierto de innovación; además de los resultados del análisis bibliométrico de la producción científica sobre Innovación Abierta y gestión, generada desde el año 2007 hasta el 2019 en la base de datos Scopus. Los macro datos fueron trabajados en la aplicación Bibliometrix, obteniendo los nombres de autores influyentes, las fuentes de publicación más relevantes, así como los países dominantes en la temática.
El documento refleja la pertinencia de la IA como factor clave en la competitividad de las compañías, implicándoles una mayor relación colaborativa con su entorno. Los hallazgos muestran la viabilidad de la Innovación Abierta como factor clave en la competitividad, implicando a las compañías la búsqueda de vínculos colaborativos con actores de su entorno.
La guerra de las métricas en la medición del valor económico en la industria bancaria: un análisis comparativo de EVA™ y sus alternativas
Authors: Song Lina , Md Shahbudin Amirul Shah
Published: July 2024

Este artículo presenta un análisis exhaustivo de las medidas de desempeño basadas en el valor más utilizadas en el contexto de su asociación con los precios y rendimientos de las acciones, desafiando las métricas tradicionales basadas en la contabilidad. Se centra en el valor económico agregado (EVA™), el cuadro de mando integral (BSC), el rendimiento del capital ajustado al riesgo (RAROC), la Q de Tobin, el retorno de la inversión en flujo de efectivo (CFROI) y el valor agregado de mercado (MVA), examinando su efectividad en reflejando el verdadero beneficio económico y la creación de riqueza para los accionistas. EVA™ se destaca como una medida destacada, a menudo considerada superior para aproximar los retornos para los accionistas y guiar el éxito corporativo. Sin embargo, también enfrenta críticas por posible manipulación de datos y por no tener en cuenta las disparidades de tamaño. El BSC, si bien ofrece una evaluación multidimensional, es complejo y a veces ambiguo en sus relaciones de causa y efecto. RAROC, diseñado para el sector bancario, tiene limitaciones a la hora de evaluar oportunidades comerciales comparativas y enfatizar la gestión de riesgos individuales. La Q de Tobin, aunque conceptualmente atractiva, enfrenta desafíos prácticos debido a importantes errores de medición y problemas de disponibilidad de datos. CFROI, conocida por su evaluación económica detallada, tiene cálculos complejos y enfrenta el “problema de la tasa de rentabilidad”. MVA, de enfoque sencillo, puede resultar engañoso debido a su sensibilidad a los sentimientos del mercado. El artículo concluye que ninguna métrica puede capturar perfectamente el desempeño corporativo y el valor para los accionistas, enfatizando la necesidad de una elección de medida de desempeño específica del contexto que equilibre los beneficios y desventajas de cada uno.

El sistema educativo forma integralmente al hombre para la vida, por lo que el trabajo que se presenta va dirigido al fortalecimiento de la educación ambiental de los educandos con discapacidad intelectual, desde la comprensión lectora, donde las tareas de aprendizaje diseñadas están dirigidas a prever las consecuencias que trae para la sociedad el deterioro del entorno; de manera que estas coadyuvan a la toma de conciencia por parte de estos educandos conjuntamente con la familia y la comunidad, así como que actúen en consecuencia para proteger el Medio Ambiente de su localidad. En la medida en que los educandos se apropien de los conocimientos con respecto a la temática que se aborda, incidirá en su participación de forma consciente en la protección del Medio Ambiente. Se utilizaron métodos científicos como: histórico- lógico, analítico- sintético, inductivo-deductivo, análisis documental, prueba pedagógica, entrevista, observación, experimento pedagógico, así como el procedimiento del análisis porcentual - la estadística descriptiva.
Aprendizagem significativa potencializada com uso da metodologia ativa aprendizagem baseada em projetos nas aulas de biologia - uma revisão sistemática
Authors: Vidal Lilian Machado Marques , Jardim Maria Inês de Affonseca
Published: July 2024

Os dados apresentados são provenientes de uma Revisão Sistemática de Literatura (RSL) sobre Aprendizagem Baseada em Projetos (ABPj) para Aprendizagem Significativa (AS) no ensino de Biologia. Com o objetivo de buscar e avaliar pesquisas que integrem essas três vertentes. Foram analisados estudos publicados na forma de artigos, dissertações e teses, utilizando a plataforma de pesquisa Parsifal, sem restrições de data ou resultados. No total, foram selecionados 77 trabalhos, cujas publicações começaram a aparecer em 2007, com um aumento significativo em 2017, 2018 e 2019. Acredita-se que a pandemia de 2020 tenha contribuído para uma queda nas pesquisas. Dos 77 trabalhos, 42 estão relacionados à Biologia, porém, apenas 2 abordam simultaneamente ABPj e AS. Os resultados indicam que as três vertentes podem não ser frequentemente combinadas, possivelmente devido à sua novidade como metodologia para o ensino médio. Além disso, a implementação dessas metodologias enfrenta desafios e barreiras que dificultam sua introdução no cotidiano escolar.
Currículo integrado do ensino médio técnico e a disciplina de história: prática voltada à integração curricular
Authors: Reis Júnior Reinaldo de Lima , Giusti Giulia
Published: July 2024

Neste artigo, apresentamos o campo teórico que sustentou a elaboração e estruturação do Plano de Ensino de História ao longo dos últimos cinco anos no 1º Ano do Ensino Médio Técnico Integrado do Câmpus Luziânia do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Goiás. A constituição da disciplina parte da necessidade de considerar os alunos como sujeitos ativos no processo educacional, assim como de mostrar que o conhecimento pode e deve ser realizado de forma coletiva. Somado a estes fatores, também é trabalhada a ressignificação da avaliação perante o olhar discente, rompendo a ideia da valorização somente a partir do esforço individual do aluno. Para tanto, a disciplina foi organizada ao longo dos bimestres com atividades e avaliações considerando o coletivo e integrando as diferentes turmas de História I. Tendo como base epistêmica o trabalho como princípio educativo e a integração com o saber, traçamos a prática que realizamos, entre docente e discentes, nessa experiência que tem sido costurada na interação e elaboração do currículo.

From the excessive military reprisal in the Gaza Strip to the accusation of genocide versus the State of Israel before the International Court of Justice (ICJ)

ABSTRACT: The essay reflects on the total surprise of Hamas’attack on 7 October and the subsequent inhumanities on innocent civilians, but also on the obvious excesses of Tsahal’s retaliation (both on land and in the air), indiscriminately extended to areas populated by families, institutions and communities in the Gaza Strip, who are completely unrelated to the terrorist action just carried out in Israël.
This is followed by an initial detailled analysis of the problems posed by the accusation of genocide against the state of Israël, following these events, brought at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) of United Nations by the republic of South Africa; with references to the procedural events following the order dated 26 January 2024, issued by the Court, with executive force, in the context of emergency measures.

Published: July 2024

The widespread use of advanced technology and gadgets has led to numerous health problems, including wrist pain due to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). CTS is a common and costly issue among office workers. Although research indicates that CTS is not inherently related to work, it is a work-related neuropathy resulting from the compression of the median nerve due to repetitive stressful wrist postures, such as hyperextension or hyperflexion. Objective: This study aims to measure the prevalence of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) among office workers, considering computer usage and typing as risk factors, and to assess how job demands contribute to CTS at the workplace. Methods: A quantitative research model using a prospective survey design was employed. The study was conducted among office workers from the manufacturing and services industries in Punjab, Pakistan. A convenient sample of 280 office workers participated. Data were collected using the standardized Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire to evaluate the impact of CTS on activities of daily living (ADLs) and socioeconomic life. The study duration was six months. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 23.0. Results: The study found a comparatively high prevalence of work-related wrist and hand complaints, including clinically proven CTS, among youthful office employees in Pakistan. Regular discomfort while working significantly increased the likelihood of developing CTS. Extended periods of computer use without breaks also heightened the risk of wrist and hand symptoms. Conclusion: There is a significant prevalence of CTS among office workers in Pakistan linked to prolonged computer use and repetitive wrist postures. Effective interventions and ergonomic practices are essential to reduce the incidence and impact of CTS in the workplace.

Purpose. The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the resolution of three different intraocular lenses using the VirtIOL device. The secondary objective was to determine the contrast achieved by these lenses. Material and Methods. An in-vitro assessment of three intraocular lenses (including a single vision IOL, a trifocal IOL and an EDOF IOL) was performed using the VirtIOL device. The key feature of this apparatus is a table-mounted device that allows the user to look through an IOL along the optical axis at a target at any distance. An industrial camera “UI-3040CP-C-HQ Rev.2 (AB02491)” (Co. Navitar, USA) was mounted on the chin rest of the VirtIOL. The USAF 1951 test chart was presented at the following distances: 6 m, 1 m and 0.4 m. The IOLs were each mounted in a model eye. The resolution capability, expressed as line pair per mm [lp/mm] and contrast values were measured under photopic conditions at a system aperture of 3 mm. The measurement of the contrast values was repeated ten times with each lens at each distance. Results. All IOLs (monofocal/trifocal/EDOF) achieved a resolution of 0.445 lp/mm at a distance of 6 m, as well as 1.00 / 2.82 / 2.52 lp/mm at 1 m. The measurement of resolution at the distance of 0.4 m resulted in 1.00 / 3.56 / 1.12 lp/mm. At various test distances, the following mean contrast values and standard deviations were obtained: 236 ± 8.1 / 115 ± 2.5 / 123 ± 3.9 (p < 0.001) at 6 m, 96 ± 0.8 / 75 ± 0.7 / 81 ± 0.7 (p < 0.001) at 1 m and 36 ± 0/ 42 ± 0.7 / 36 ± 0.4 (p < 0.001) at 0.4 m. Conclusion. The VirtIOL device in combination with the measuring camera used provides a basis for objective measurements of IOLs. The resolution capability of the three IOLs increases with decreasing distance, whereas the contrast values decrease. This study confirms the usefulness of the setup and provides a basis for further evaluations of intraocular lenses with the VirtIOL device.
