Analysis of needlestick and sharps injuries (NSSI) in a tertiary level hospital: A 6-year review study
Authors: Öztürk Nazife
Published: December 2024

This study aims to determine health care workers’ (HCW) causes of injuries, and changes in these injuries according to years by analyzing notification forms made by HCWs in a tertiary hospital between 2018 and 2023 due to needlestick and sharps injuries (NSSI) and provide suggestions to managers for prevention of injuries. The study was a descriptive, single-center, retrospective study. It included data on the number of injuries reported by HCWs in a training and research hospital during 2018-2023. The year of injury to HCWs, the unit in which the injury was sustained and the type of injury instrument were evaluated. NSSI rate was determined using the “Healthcare Quality Standards Indicator Management Guide”. Obtained data were analyzed and interpreted through tables created with SPSS 26.0 statistical software and Microsoft® Excel software. The study found that a total of 74, 105, 69, 55, 82 and 118 NSSIs were reported in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively. For 2018-2023, rates were 11.1%, 15.8%, 20.1%, 11.7% and 12.2%, respectively. Considering all years, the highest NSSI rate was found in 2020 (20.1%) by year. lowest NSSI rate was found in 2018 (11.1%). In 6 years between 2018 and 2023, the highest number of NSSI reports came from clinics/services. These units are followed by intensive care units, emergency departments, and operating rooms. It was observed that nurses/midwives (54) and doctors (25) were most likely to be exposed to NSSIs based on title. It was found that HCWs were exposed to the majority of needle-tipped NSSIs in all years. The results of the study indicate that most at-risk occupational groups are nurses among health workers. It is recommended to increase training activities, especially in high-risk groups, and to facilitate follow-up and reporting procedures after notification to prevent NSSI.

Published: December 2024

Abstract. Atmospheric aerosol hygroscopicity and reactivity play key roles in determining an aerosol's fate and are strongly affected by its composition and physical properties. Fatty acids are surfactants commonly found in organic aerosol emissions. They form a wide range of different nanostructures dependent on water content and mixture composition. In this study we follow nano-structural changes in mixtures frequently found in urban organic aerosol emissions, i.e. oleic acid, sodium oleate and fructose, during humidity change and exposure to the atmospheric oxidant ozone. Addition of fructose altered the nanostructure by inducing molecular arrangements with increased surfactant–water interface curvature. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was employed for the first time to derive the hygroscopicity of each nanostructure, thus addressing a current gap in knowledge by measuring time- and humidity-resolved changes in nano-structural parameters. We found that hygroscopicity is directly linked to the specific nanostructure and is dependent on the nanostructure geometry. Reaction with ozone revealed a clear nanostructure–reactivity trend, with notable differences between the individual nanostructures investigated. Simultaneous Raman microscopy complementing the SAXS studies revealed the persistence of oleic acid even after extensive oxidation. Our findings demonstrate that self-assembly of fatty acid nanostructures can significantly impact two key atmospheric aerosol processes: water uptake and chemical reactivity, thus directly affecting the atmospheric lifetime of these materials. This could have significant impacts on both urban air quality (e.g. protecting harmful urban emissions from atmospheric degradation and therefore enabling their long-range transport) and climate (e.g. affecting cloud formation), with implications for human health and well-being.
DalROMS-NWA12 v1.0, a coupled circulation–ice–biogeochemistry modelling system for the northwest Atlantic Ocean: development and validation
Authors: Ohashi Kyoko , Laurent Arnaud , Renkl Christoph , Sheng Jinyu , Fennel Katja , Oliver Eric
Published: December 2024

Abstract. This study presents DalROMS-NWA12 v1.0, a coupled ocean circulation–sea ice–biogeochemistry modelling system for the northwest Atlantic Ocean (NWA) in which the circulation and biogeochemistry modules are based on ROMS (Regional Ocean Modeling System). The circulation module is coupled to a sea ice module based on the Community Ice CodE (CICE), and the physical ocean state simulated by the circulation module drives the biogeochemical module. Study of the biological carbon pump in the NWA is one of the main intended applications of this model. Global atmospheric and ocean reanalyses are used to force DalROMS-NWA12 at the sea surface and as part of its lateral boundary input, respectively. The modelling system is also forced by tides, riverine freshwater input, and continental runoff. The physical ocean state and sea ice from two simulations of the period 2015–2018, with and without nudging of the simulated temperature and salinity towards a blend of observations and reanalysis, are examined in this study. Statistical comparisons between model results and observations or reanalyses show that the control (nudged) simulation outperforms the prognostic (un-nudged) simulation in reproducing the paths of the Gulf Stream and the West Greenland Current, as well as propagation of the estuarine plume in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The prognostic simulation performs better in simulating the sea ice concentration. The biogeochemical module, which is run only in the control simulation, performs reasonably well in reproducing the observed spatiotemporal variations in oxygen, nitrate, alkalinity, and total inorganic carbon. To examine the effects of tides and sea ice on the physical fields in the study area, results of simulations from which either component is absent are compared to results of the prognostic simulation. In the absence of tides, Ungava Bay in summer experiences a simulated surface salinity that is higher by up to ∼7 psu than in the simulation with tides, as well as experiencing changes in horizontal distributions of surface temperature and sea ice. Without coupling to the sea ice module, the circulation module produces summertime sea surface temperatures that are higher by up to ∼5 °C in Baffin Bay.
Least travel time ray tracer, version Two (LTT v2) adapted to the grid geometry of the OpenIFS atmospheric model

Published: December 2024

Abstract. Electromagnetic signals commonly used in geodetical applications, such as the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), undergo bending and delay in the neutral gas atmosphere of the Earth. The least-travel-time (LTT) concept is one of the approaches to model signal slant delays via a ray tracing (RT) procedure. In this study, we developed an LTT-based RT algorithm (LTT v2), where the 3-dimensional refractivity field of the atmosphere is based on the atmospheric model data. This representation is complete in a sense that the domain of the RT conforms to the native grid geometry of the atmospheric model. In addition, some physical and numerical approximations are improved compared to the previous version (LTT v1). The atmospheric states are generated using a global numerical weather prediction model, the Open Integrated Forecast System of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. The slant delays of LTT v2 are compared with the products of the original least-travel-time GNSS delay model (LTT v1) and the products of the state-of-the-art VieVS Ray Tracer (RADIATE). The skill of slant delay estimation is assessed using metrics that are indicative of the quality of GNSS products derived using the GROOPS (Gravity Recovery Object Oriented Programming System) orbit solver software toolkit of the Graz University of Technology. Employment of slant delay products of the LTT RT algorithm shows radical improvement in GNSS processing. When using LTT v2 delay estimates, the GNSS orbit midnight discontinuities are reduced by more than 10 % compared to RADIATE, and more than 2 % compared to LTT v1. The residuals of ground station precise positioning are analysed with respect to the IGS14 reference positions. The RMS of residuals (accuracy) and standard deviation (precision) are substantialy reduced compared to RADIATE.
Flood risk assessment through large-scale modeling under uncertainty
Authors: Pavesi Luciano , Volpi Elena , Fiori Aldo
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The complexity of flood risk models is intrinsically linked to a variety of sources of uncertainty (hydrology, hydraulics, exposed assets, vulnerability, coping capacity, etc.) that affect the accuracy and reliability of the analyses. Estimating the uncertainties associated with the different components allows us to be more confident in the risk values on the ground, thus providing a more reliable assessment for investment, insurance and flood risk management purposes. In this study, we investigate the flood risk of the entire Central Apennines District (CAD) in Central Italy using the laRgE SCale inUndation modEl – Flood Risk (RESCUE-FR), focusing on the interaction between the uncertainty in the hydraulic Manning parameter and the risk variability. We assess the coherence between the quantile flood risk maps generated by our model and the official risk maps provided by the Central Apennines District Authority (CAD Authority) and focusing on three specific zones within the CAD region. Thus, RESCUE-FR is used to estimate the expected annual damage (EAD) and the expected annual population affected (EAPA) across the CAD region and to conduct a comprehensive uncertainty analysis. The latter provides a range of confidence of risk estimation that is essential for identifying vulnerable areas and guiding effective mitigation strategies.
Multifractal analysis of wind turbine power and rainfall from an operational wind farm – Part 2: Joint analysis of available wind power and rain intensity

Published: December 2024

Abstract. In the increasing global transition towards renewable and carbon-neutral energy, understanding the uncertainties associated with wind power production is extremely important. In addition to the widely acknowledged uncertainties from turbulence and wind intermittency, further complexity arises from the influence of rainfall, which only a limited number of studies have addressed so far. To understand this, multiple 3D sonic anemometers, mini meteorological stations, and optical disdrometers were employed on a meteorological mast on the Pays d'Othe wind farm (110 km south-east of Paris, France) in the framework of the Rainfall Wind Turbine or Turbulence (RW-Turb) project (https://hmco.enpc.fr/portfolio-archive/rw-turb/, last access: 26 November 2024). With these simultaneously measured data, wind power and its associated atmospheric fields were studied under various rainy conditions. Variations of the wind velocity, power available on the wind farm, power produced by wind turbines, and air density are examined here, under rainy and dry conditions, using the scale-invariant framework of universal multifractals (UM). Since rated power acts like an upper threshold in statistical analysis of turbine power (discussed in Part 1), theoretically available power was used as a proxy. From an event-based analysis, differences in UM parameters were observed between rainy and dry conditions for the fields. This is explored further using joint multifractal analysis, which revealed an increase in the correlation exponent between various fields with the rain rate. Here we also examine the possibility of variation in power production by rainy conditions (convective or stratiform) as well as by regimes of wind velocity. While examining time steps according to wind velocity, turbine power curves showed different regions of departure from the state curve according to the rain rate.

Authors: Hanif Muhammad , Riaz Asifa , Ikram Iqra
Published: December 2024

Stroke, a significant contributor to disability, primarily affects the trunk's ability to produce movement and function. Patients with stroke experience falls frequently and have more post-fall activity limitations because of severe postural instability. The incidence of stroke steadily increases, further endangering the body's physical, mechanical and musculoskeletal functions.
Objective: To compare the effects of core strengthening versus lower limb Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Techniques on trunk function and balance in chronic stroke patients.
Materials and Methods: The randomised control trial (RCT) was conducted at Itiefaq Hospital & Riphah Rehabilitation Centre, Lahore, Pakistan, from June to December 2022. The subject includes either gender aged 40-70 with chronic stroke patients. They were randomised into two groups. Group A was treated with Core Strengthening exercises and conventional treatment, and Group B was treated with PNF and traditional therapy. The Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were used to assess outcome measures. Data was analysed by using SPSS-21.
Rsults:  Out of 42 patients, there were 21 patients in the two groups. Scores for the Berg Balance and Trunk Impairment Scale showed significant results within a group as indicated by p-value (<0.05). The within-group analysis revealed essential findings in all parameters. The between-group comparison showed insignificant results in the case of the Trunk Impairment scale, as the p-value was not less than 0.05. Between-group results were significant in the case of the Berg Balance Scale (p<0.05).
Conclusion: This study concluded that applying core strengthening exercises and lower limb proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques improved the balance and function of the trunk in chronic stroke patients.
A metalinguaxe da fraseoloxía vasca en coleccións e dicionarios
Authors:   Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (España), Sanz-Villar Zuriñe
Published: December 2024

Desde o século XVI e ata a actualidade, publicáronse numerosas coleccións e dicionarios fraseolóxicos que recollen diferentes tipos de unidades fraseolóxicas vascas. Neste artigo, descríbese unha selección das principais coleccións e dicionarios con unidades fraseolóxicas dos séculos XX e XXI co obxectivo de dar a coñecer a metalinguaxe (tanto a nivel denominativo como conceptual) da fraseoloxía vasca nas obras fraseográficas analizadas. Conclúese que nas oito obras analizadas do século XX a variación terminolóxica é considerable e que en ocasións se utilizou un mesmo termo para se referir a fenómenos lingüísticos diferentes. Ademais, en moitas obras mestúranse diferentes tipos de unidades fraseolóxicas aínda tratándose de obras exclusivamente paremiográficas ou de locucións. Nos dicionarios actuais non se observa a mesma tendencia canto á variación terminolóxica, pero debido, en parte, ás características dunha lingua aglutinante coma o euskera, o grao de harmonización é menor a nivel conceptual.

The Venetian Governor’s Palace on Ithaca
Authors: Nikias K.
Published: December 2024

The ruins of Venetian-period settlements on Ithaca have been overshadowed by interest in the ancient heritage of the island, particularly by the obsession to locate the palace of Odysseus. Despite the neglect of the early modern built heritage of Ithaca, its study sheds light on the economic and social forces that shaped the spatial and urban experience of Venetian rule. This article surveys a large series of unpublished documentary evidence for the evolution of an important example of Venetian-period public architecture on Ithaca, the “palace” built to serve the island’s governors. The public edifice in the island’s main township built sometime in the late sixteenth century decayed over the course of the seventeenth century and into the next, when it was abandoned by the governors, who took to residing on the bayside in a settlement expanding with the growth of trade. This article emphasizes the structural, political causes of the demise of the palace and places these in their colonial administrative context. It emphasizes the role of the palace as a material representation of the presence of colonial power on a small island at the periphery, which was ruled as a delegated jurisdiction by local elites and not directly by Venetians.

Published: December 2024

This study comprehensively evaluated and compared the nutrient contents, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, antioxidant activity, and anti-nutritional factors of three passion fruit species, namely purple passion fruit (Passiflora edulis f. edulis), yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis var. flavicarpa), and sweet granadilla fruit (Passiflora ligularis). The passion fruit samples were collected from various gardens throughout the Lam Dong plateau - Vietnam. The analyses were performed as per standard test methods. Passiflora edulis f. edulis had high contents of carbohydrates, fat, vitamin K1, potassium, phosphorus, and iodine whereas Passiflora edulis var. flavicarpa was rich in carbohydrates and vitamins group B including B3, B6, and B9. Passiflora ligularis, on the contrary, primarily provided essential nutrients of protein, vitamins A, and C, and minerals including sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron. All three studied passion fruit species generally possessed moderate values of phenolics, flavonoids, and antioxidants; the same pattern was also observed with antinutrients as all three studied passion fruit species were found to contain low concentrations of phytate, tannin, and oxalate. These findings scientifically contribute to the food database system and can be exploited for diet planning.

Authors: Ghosh Anusrita , Bandyopadhyay Lina , Ghosh Soumik
Published: December 2024

Introduction:

Stress, a natural response to difficult situations is causally linked to morbidity leading to cognitive decline. A good sleep, required for somatic well-being and memory consolidation, is very essential. Hence this study proposed to study the effect of stress on sleep hygiene among 15 to 18 years students of a school in an urban area of Burdwan, West Bengal.

Objectives:

This study aimed to estimate the burden of perceived stress, determine sleep hygiene by assessment of excessive daytime sleepiness and find out effect of stress on sleep hygiene.

Methodology:

A cross-sectional study conducted in a school, chosen by purposive sampling among 99 students aged 15 to 18 years from December, 2022 to February, 2023. Information was collected by using self-administered structured questionnaire. Stress was assessed using Perceived Stress Scale and sleep hygiene was assessed using Epworth Sleepiness Scale for Children and Adolescents and association between them was determined.

Results:

Out of 99 students, 53.5% were males and 46.4% were females. The mean age was 16. As per PSS scale 67.9% of male and 67.4% of female adolescent students were found to be moderate to severely stressed. Around 71% of students below class 10 were moderate to severely stressed. Prevalence of poor sleep hygiene was around 19.2% in total. Although association between PSS and ESS-CHAD was not of statistical significance which might be due to the small sample size, a positive correlation between stress and sleep disturbances was established from the findings.

Conclusion:

Prevalence of stress was quite high among the participants. Poor sleep hygiene was prevalent and it increased with increase in stress. Early identification and management of stress through school-based health programs is required for adolescents for better academic performance and overall wellbeing.

Mâide sûresi 38. âyetinde hırsızlık suçu için el kesme cezası öngörülmektedir. Klasik dönem İslâm hukuk literatüründe hırsızlık suçu için öngörülen el kesme cezası etrafındaki tartışmalar, söz konusu suçun unsur ve şartları ile sınırlı kalmıştır. Bu dönemde el kesme cezasının varlığı üzerinde herhangi bir tartışmaya rastlanmamaktadır. Yeni dönemde modernitenin de etkisiyle gündeme gelen bedensel cezalar üzerindeki tartışmalara el kesme cezası da dâhil olmuştur. Bu süreçte Müslüman düşünürler tarafından çeşitli gerekçeler üzerinden söz konusu ceza yerine yeni ceza arayışları gündeme gelmiştir. Makalede el kesme cezası için alternatif ceza arayışları kapsamında dile getirilen görüşler üç başlık altında ele alınmaktadır. El kesme cezasının leh ve aleyhinde dile getirilen görüşler, eleştirel bir bakış açısıyla değerlendirilmektedir. Ayrıca el kesme cezasının leh ve aleyhinde dile getirilen görüşler suç-ceza uygunluğu açısından değerlendirilmektedir. Bu bağlamda suç-ceza genel ilkeleri olarak adlandırabileceğimiz âyetler ve bir kısım suçlar için öngörülen cezalardan hareketle, el kesme cezası dâhil, İslâm ceza hukuku kapsamındaki suçlar için olması gerekenin dışında, farklı ceza öngörüsünde bulunmanın mümkün olamadığı ortaya konulmaktadır.

Background: Innovation in healthcare leadership, particularly within nursing, is crucial for addressing the challenges of modern healthcare systems. Despite its importance, integrating innovation into nursing leadership remains a challenge, often hindered by traditional practices and a risk-averse culture in healthcare. Nurse leaders face numerous operational pressures that leave little room for innovation, yet the demand for creative solutions to improve patient care, organizational efficiency, and staff engagement has never been greater. Aim: This article explores the role of innovation in nursing leadership, highlighting how specialized programs, such as the Executive Fellowship in Innovation Health Leadership (EFIHL), can empower nurse leaders to drive meaningful change within their organizations.

Background: Value-based care (VBC) models, which focus on enhancing patient outcomes while reducing healthcare costs, represent a transformative shift in the delivery of healthcare. By prioritizing quality over quantity, these models align incentives with the achievement of health outcomes rather than the volume of services provided. VBC approaches, including Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs), bundled payment systems, and Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), aim to address the rising burden of chronic diseases, escalating healthcare expenditures, and disparities in access to care. Despite their potential benefits, VBC models face challenges such as workforce readiness, compatibility with data management systems, and equitable implementation across diverse patient populations. Aim: This study explores the theoretical foundations, methods of implementation, and outcomes associated with VBC models, with a particular focus on the critical roles played by nurses and healthcare administrators in enhancing the planning, execution, and evaluation of these models. Methods: A comprehensive review of case studies, policy papers, and peer-reviewed literature was conducted. The analysis emphasizes the integration of technology, operationalization of VBC, and the contributions of interdisciplinary teams in improving care standards and reducing costs.

Introdução: O consumo de medicamentos psicotrópicos de forma desregulada é uma crescente preocupação mundial, pois estes estão associados a efeitos colaterais graves como: Hipertensão, AVC e dependências medicamentosas. No Brasil os atendimentos na Atenção Básica voltados para a Saúde Mental configuram quase um terço da demanda, porém ainda existem problemas a serem enfrentados que influenciam diretamente na qualidade desses serviços e na prescrição e no uso racional dos psicofármacos. Objetivo: Analisar os desafios encontrados pelo setor de atenção básica à saúde na prescrição e no controle do uso racional dos psicofármacos. Método: Este estudo trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura executada nas bases de dados SciELO e LILACS. Para a pesquisa foram utilizados os seguintes descritores: “Uso racional de medicamentos”, “Psicofármacos” e “Atenção primária à saúde”. A associação dos descritores se deu através do operador Boleano “AND”. Resultado: Foram encontrados 56 trabalhos ao todo, que após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram selecionados 8 artigos. A análise das obras apontou para o aumento do consumo de psicofármacos, principalmente, entre mulheres, fumantes e sedentários. Além disso, a falta de comunicação na rede de atenção, desconhecimento sobre saúde mental por parte dos profissionais e resistência a alternativas não medicamentosas por parte dos pacientes representam os principais problemas enfrentados pela APS nessa temática.

A leucemia é uma alteração genética que atinge as células, tornando-as cancerígenas. A Leucemia Mieloide Crônica (LMC) é caracterizada por leucocitose com desvio a esquerda, esplenomegalia, hepatomegalia e presença do cromossomo de Philadelphia (Ph), que é o resultado da translocação entre os cromossomos 9 e 22. O artigo teve como objetivo descrever o uso do Mesilato de Imatinibe (MI) no tratamento da LMC e as alterações hematológicas causadas por sua utilização. Para a confecção do presente estudo, foi realizada uma pesquisa nas bases de dados Pubmed, Scielo e BVS dentro de um recorte temporal de 10 anos (2013 a 2023), sendo utilizados artigos em português, espanhol e inglês e livros em língua portuguesa. Após a busca e aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão foram obtidos 27 materiais, os quais compõem a configuração final deste trabalho. Mediante averiguação dos artigos utilizados, conclui-se que o MI é um importante medicamento utilizado no tratamento da LMC, sendo este um inibidor de tirosina quinase, entretanto, o mesmo tem demonstrado alguns impactos orgânicos a nível hematológico, como neutropenia, trombocitopenia e alguns casos de anemia. Destaca-se ainda, a necessidade de desenvolvimento de medicamentos com a mesma eficácia que o MI, porém, com menos efeitos colaterais e deletérios.

Published: December 2024

O presente estudo propõe-se a analisar como e em que medida a Defensoria Pública brasileira é capaz de exercer seu papel de ombudsman, observando as características atribuídas pela Constituição de 1988 e o desenvolvimento da instituição desde a sua implementação. Enquanto hipótese, o trabalho ventila que, apesar de grandes avanços institucionais e normativos pós-Constituição de 1988, a atividade defensorial brasileira ainda possui potencial de expansão, com a necessidade de maior amparo de recursos e incentivos estruturais. Em termos metodológicos, trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, bibliográfica e descritiva, instrumentalizada pela análise da produção acadêmica, legislativa nacional e internacional e de dados acerca da capilaridade e institucionalização defensoriais. Enquanto conclusão, concebeu-se com o presente estudo o real estado da arte da Defensoria Pública brasileira, constatando-se haver margem para expansão de sua atuação, haja vista a necessidade ainda de um maior amparo institucional decorrente da falta de cobertura e do déficit de defensores públicos no país.

Ore - natural deposition of chemical elem ents in the native or mineral-forming form, caused by
the action of geological processes and their accompanying geochemical regularities, in which the concentration of som e chemical elem ents reaches a value sufficient for cost-effective extraction in a given period. The production process itself, which ensures profitable extraction, begins after geological exploration from the stage of design and subsequent extraction, enrichment and metallurgical processing. Science has proved and statistics have confirmed the expected complete depletion of reserves in the continental earth crust to a depth of 5 km within 30-150 years depending on the type of metal. Scientifically substantiated and practically possible technological solutions, which have no analogues in the world, are proposed for the creation of historically inexhaustible deposits of a new type of natural and technogenic origin based on the use of combined processes of geotechnology and minerallurgy, a full current cycle of subsoil development and a circular economy.
