NONPHYSICAL VIOLENCE IN KUNG FU FILM: “黄飞鸿之英雄有梦”
Authors: Adhimas Yogi Bagus , Fitriana Ephrilia Noor , Chaoqun Li , Purwaningtyas Yohanna Aprillia
Published: December 2023

Chinese Kungfu films, which are famous for their physical violence, can also be seen from their non-physical violence. It will not be possible for a fight to be fought without verbal contact between the previous conflicts. This will be an additional perspective that Kungfu films can not only be enjoyed in terms of physical violence but also non-physical violence. Analysis of the film “黄飞鸿之英雄有梦” which uses a descriptive qualitative approach combined with interdisciplinary studies of cognitive linguistic and cultural studies yielded fifteen data that have proven that non-physical violence in Kungfu films has its own beauty. Negative diction, the selection of linguistic components, to the use of idioms as a characteristic of Chinese culture are some of the non-physical violent of the media found. In the end, theoretically and practically this research can be used in many opportunities such as linguistic learning, cultural introduction, or become the basis of future research.

Lemebel, una revolución marica: el cuerpo en la narrativa autobiográfica
Authors: Carreras Vanesa Lucía
Published: December 2023

Realizamos la presente reseña a partir de la visualización del documental Lemebel, una revolución marica, proyectado en 2019 en el marco del Festival de cine Latinoamericano de La Plata (FESAALP). El documental autobiográfico reedita las performances de Pedro Lemebel (1952-2015), escritor, artista visual, activista y precursor del movimiento queer en América Latina. Consideramos pertinente destacar que el documental da cuenta de que un cuerpo presente, con sus prácticas y discursos en el escenario público, es político, y, a su vez, colectivo.

El trabajo realizado no alcanza conclusiones, pero sí se presentan distintas lógicas comerciales seguidas por este actor que permiten comprender algunas de las prácticas mercantiles del Antiguo Régimen.
Los procedimientos de reclamación de paternidad y la obtención de la prueba de ADN
Authors: Ramón Fernández Francisca
Published: December 2023

La filiación, en tanto determinación del origen biológico de una persona, tiene efectos en el ámbito personal y patrimonial. Se regulan en nuestro ordenamiento jurídico español procedimientos para la reclamación de la paternidad del descendiente. En este estudio nos proponemos analizar estos procedimientos y la obtención del ADN como medio probatorio para la determinación de la filiación. De interés resulta hacer referencia a la Ley 8/2021, de 2 de junio, por la que se reforma la legislación civil y procesal para el apoyo a las personas con discapacidad en el ejercicio de su capacidad jurídica que ha afectado a diversos preceptos del Código Civil, así como a la Ley 4/2023, de 28 de febrero, para la igualdad real y efectiva de las personas trans y para la garantía de los derechos de las personas LGTBI. Hay que tener en cuenta el interés superior del menor, en su caso, y también los distintos supuestos de impugnación, así como las distintas cuestiones que entran en juego en relación con el ADN —como dato genético— especialmente protegido por la normativa aplicable.
Técnica legislativa. Reflexiones. Audiencia Pública. Normativa ajena al texto. ¿Sólo una cuestión formal?
Authors: Parés Susana
Published: December 2023

La Constitución de la provincia de Córdoba establece el instituto de la Audiencia Pública, que propicia la participación ciudadana para la sanción de: la Ley de Presupuesto, la  Ley Impositiva y el Código Tributario. Los aportes no son vinculantes. El legislador incluye, en la Ley Anual de Presupuesto, modificaciones de normas permanentes, que exceden la vigencia de la regulación referida.También sucede que en códigos como el Tributario se incluyan modificaciones ajenas al mismo. Ello puede aparecer como una defectuosa técnica legislativa, pero a veces la deficiencia lleva a la inconstitucionalidad. La participación ciudadana y la inclusión de normas permanentes en leyes anuales han merecido tratamiento jurisprudencial.
Tolerar es odioso: la construcción de un discurso
Authors: Bursztyn Debora Cecilia
Published: December 2023

la libertad de expresión y opinión se han visto afectadas por la multiplicidad de canales a partir de los cuales puede ejercerse. La conciencia que de ello ha tomado la Comunidad Internacional ha estimulado la necesidad de control sobre aquello que se considera como discurso de odio. Observar la tensión que se suscita entre la libertad de expresión, la honra y la dignidad humana y los derechos de los colectivos en esta nueva época de diversidad comunicativa plantea un nuevo desafío al que los Estados deberán enfrentar sin violentar aquellas libertades que resultan naturales a la humanidad.
La prueba de los estados mentales
Authors: Irisarri Santiago M.
Published: December 2023

El trabajo analiza los diversos aspectos que rodean a la cuestión probatoria de los estados mentales ajenos. Primeramente, se explican los argumentos por los cuales parte de la doctrina sostiene que los estados mentales ajenos no serían susceptibles de ser conocidos ni probados, sino -a lo sumo- imputados. Luego, se analizan detenidamente cada uno de estos postulados para dejar en evidencia que detrás de los mismos se esconden variadas confusiones terminológicas y conceptuales. Finalmente, se explica de qué forma y mediante qué razonamientos los estados mentales ajenos serían susceptibles de ser conocidos y probados.
Una provincia sin ley. Acerca de la responsabilidad del Estado en la provincia de Buenos Aires
Authors: Arrouy Pedro Luis
Published: December 2023

La reforma al Código Civil y Comercial de 2015 trajo consigo, entre otros cambios, novedades relevantes en materia de responsabilidad patrimonial del Estado. El objetivo de este trabajo es hacer un rápido repaso al estado actual de la cuestión, señalando cómo la responsabilidad estatal ha sido regulada tanto por la jurisdicción federal como por algunas provincias argentinas. En ese marco, me concentraré en la inconveniencia de prescindir por completo de las disposiciones previstas por la legislación Civil, según lo dispuesto por el Código Civil y Comercial y por la Ley N° 26.944. Así, abordaré los caminos recorridos por las diferentes provincias de nuestro país, poniendo especial énfasis en la situación de la provincia de Buenos Aires, la cual, al momento de este trabajo, carece de regulación en materia de este tipo de responsabilidad. Indicaré los posibles mecanismos de integración que se encuentran en el ordenamiento jurídico, particularmente la analogía y los principios jurídicos, ejemplificando cómo las cortes provinciales han tenido que recurrir a ellos. Finalmente, apoyaré la necesidad de que la provincia más grande del país regule su propia responsabilidad de bienes públicos, incluyendo principios que son comunes a todo el sistema constitucional.
El rol de los municipios en las políticas de industrialización: el caso de Lobería (2004-2022)
Authors: Landeyro Camila Wanda
Published: December 2023

Los municipios en la provincia de Buenos Aires presentan límites jurídicos y financieros, por lo cual las posibilidades de desarrollo industrial dependen económicamente de las inversiones que pueda realizar el capital privado o de recursos que reciban por parte del gobierno nacional o provincial. Puntualmente, una de las políticas que se viene dando énfasis en las últimas dos décadas en la provincia de Buenos Aires es la creación de agrupamientos industriales, orientados a fomentar la radicación de actores privados y a descentralizar la industria hacia zonas que en las cuales la matriz productiva continúa siendo predominantemente agraria. Es por ello que en este artículo se propone a partir del análisis del caso del municipio de Lobería analizar la aplicación de dicho de programa y las limitaciones que detenta la comuna para adecuarse a los objetivos de la Industria que existen a nivel mundial.
Interpretación “interseccional”. La deconstrucción de los sentidos implícitos
Authors: Dabove María Isolina
Published: December 2023

En este trabajo se analiza la tarea de la interpretación jurídica a la luz del fenómeno de la discriminación “interseccional”. Para ello se toman en consideración las categorías que brinda la teoría trialista del mundo jurídico. Desde este marco, la interpretación es considerada una actividad necesaria e inicial del funcionamiento jurídico, cuyo fin es desentrañar y precisar un complejo de sentidos generalmente en disputa. El fenómeno de la discriminación “interseccional”, relativo a personas y grupos situados en contextos desaventajados o vulnerables, obliga a repensar la tarea interpretativa como un proceso de construcción de sentidos adjudicatarios, a partir de los cuales el derecho se realiza y se orienta hacia el mundo político, del cual también es parte.
Revisando los gabinetes de ministros argentinos. ¿Igualdad o desigualdad en la representación por provincia?
Authors: Abal Medina Juan Manuel , Ariza Andrea , Coutinho María Eugenia , Eberhardt Maria Laura
Published: December 2023

El origen provincial de los ministros es en Argentina una dimensión escasamente abordada por la creciente agenda de estudios sobre gabinetes ministeriales. Desde sus inicios, esta república federal evidencia marcadas disparidades interprovinciales en población y recursos. Esta desproporción supone la primacía de un centro metropolitano asentado entre la Ciudad y la Provincia de Buenos Aires, que ha sido el lugar preponderante de proveniencia de la elite dirigente. Este artículo apunta a reducir tal déficit, analizando la composición de todos los gabinetes (tanto de gobiernos democráticos como de facto) en función del origen territorial de los ministros. A partir de una base de datos propia e inédita, que registra todas las designaciones ministeriales entre 1852 y 2019, se muestra que la composición histórica de los gabinetes da cuenta de una mayoría de ministros venidos de ese centro. Finalmente, incorporamos la noción de representación regional, útil para estudiar federaciones o países descentralizados.

Optimizing the Zn, Mn, and Fe mineral dose as tank mix foliar application for improvement of fruit yield, quality, and uptake of nutrients in the kinnow mandarin
Authors: Singh Sarvpriya , Singh Jagdish , Dhaliwal Salwinder Singh
Published: December 2023

Kinnow production is hampered due to the lack of micronutrient applications such as zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn), which play a significant role in the metabolic activities of the plant, affecting yield and quality. The farmers of the region use mineral micronutrient fertilizers, but it leads to phytotoxicity due to unoptimized fertilizer application dose. In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to optimize the Zn, Mn, and Fe minerals dose as tank mix foliar application for improvement of fruit yield, quality, and uptake of nutrients. The twelve combinations of different doses of zinc sulphate, manganese sulphate, and ferrous sulphate fertilizers replicated three times were tested at kinnow orchards established at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Bathinda, Punjab, India. The data revealed that the fruit drop was significantly low in the treatment F12 (43.4%) (tank mix spray of 0.3% ZnSO4 + 0.2% MnSO4 + 0.1% FeSO4 ) compared to control treatment. The fruit yield per tree was significantly higher in the treatment F12 compared to untreated control. The juice percentage was also recorded higher in treatment F12 as compared to control, and the juice percentage improved by 2.6%. The leaf nutrient analysis also revealed translocation of higher amount of nutrient from leaf to fruit under optimized supply of micronutrient. Thus, the application of tank mix spray of 0.3% ZnSO4 + 0.2% MnSO4 + 0.1% FeSO4 may be used for better fruit yield and quality.
A Constellation of Voices: How the Network of Languages in Migrants’ Minds, Hearts, and Interactions Shape Their Sense of Self
Authors: Panicacci Alex
Published: December 2023

Multilinguals often report having different perceptions of themselves when switching languages, typically indicating their first language (L1) as the one in which they feel more authentic and describing a sense of detachment when using any foreign language (LX). This phenomenon amplifies in migration contexts, where the LX is the language of the host society. The present study approaches the topic in a holistic way, by interconnecting the L1 and LX dimensions and investigating their joint influence on migrants’ self-perceptions. Data from 468 Italian migrants living in English-speaking countries, supported by 5 in-depth interviews, revealed that the maintenance of an emotional and cognitive bond with the L1 anticipated stronger perceptions of self-change when speaking the LX. Conversely, higher levels of dominance in the LX and its use in social interactions predicted milder feelings of difference. Participants described their identity shifting as a reflexive sociolinguistic practice in response to their emotional and cognitive needs.
Reflexivity and New Metanarratives. Contemporary English-language Retellings of Classical Mythology
Authors: Szmigiero Katarzyna
Published: December 2023

The turn of the millennium has brought a revival of interest in the ancient Greek and Roman texts. Obviously, the legacy of antiquity is a permanent feature of Western literature and visual arts; yet, its contemporary manifestation has taken a novel form, that of a retelling. It is a new trend in which a well-known text belonging to the canon is given an unorthodox interpretation, which exposes the ethnic, class, and gender prejudices present in the original. Mythological retellings are often written in an accessible manner containing features of genre fiction, which makes the revised version palatable to ordinary readers. A characteristic feature of mythic fantasy is the shift of focus from heroic exploits to private life as well as putting previously marginal characters into limelight. The retellings are a consequence of new, reflexive research angles that have appeared in the field of the classics.
Reflexivity in Aesthetic Situation Management
Authors: Szostak Michał
Published: December 2023

The article deals with reflexivity in the context of the aesthetic situation from two perspectives: self-management and management of the components in the aesthetic situation. All considerations are based on the theory of the aesthetic situation (Gołaszewska, 1984), transcribed into the management field (Szostak, 2023a) with the use of a metaphor of an organisation as a work of art (Szostak & Sułkowski, 2020). Emphasis on reflexivity in specific components of the aesthetic situation – especially the creator and the recipient perspectives – brings a new light into the process of self-awareness and prediction of potential consequences of activities before their appearance. The following issues are addressed by exploring the intersection between reflexivity and aesthetic situation management: aesthetic decision-making, reception process, cultural and social contexts, transcending aesthetic boundaries, artistic collaboration, ethical considerations, self-critique, and historical context.
Effect of the Surface modification of Cellulose nanofibers on the Mechanical Properties and Disintegrability of Specific PLA/Cellulose Composites
Authors: Wietecha Justyna , Kazimierczak Janusz , Jeziorna Agata
Published: December 2023

PLA/nanofibrillar cellulose (NFC) composite films were produced by solution casting. Before use, the cellulose fibers were modified with various types of surface active agents – cationic, anionic and non-ionic surfactants. The structure and morphology of samples of the cellulose fillers and composite films with polymer were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy and PXRD diffraction. Thermal parameters of the composite films were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The tensile strength and elongation at break of the films were evaluated in mechanical tests. The ability to disintegrate of all PLA/NFC composites under composting conditions was also determined and compared.
Effect of Nutrient Solution Concentration on Growth, Yield, and Fruit Quality of Tomato Grown Hydroponically in Single-Truss Production System
Authors: Nasir Nawab , Sato Tatsuo
Published: December 2023

The single-truss production system for tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a relatively new developed cultivation technology that guarantees high yields and high-quality fruit throughout the annual cycle. In this study, we examined the impact of electrical conductivity (EC) of nutrient solutions on the growth, yield, and fruit quality of tomatoes grown in a single-truss system in a hydroponic culture. Plants were supplied with nutrient solution at the following EC values: 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, and 1.4 mS·cm−1 in the spring and summer cycles, and at 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, and 1.6 mS·cm−1 in the winter cycle. In the spring cycle, the EC of the nutrient solution increased in all treatments, particularly after pinching the main stem. Increased EC values of nutrient solutions were also recorded at the 1.2 and 1.4 EC in the summer cycle and the 1.4 and 1.6 EC in the winter cycle. The leaf number per plant did not differ between treatments in all production cycles. The largest leaf area was found at the 1.2 and 1.4 EC in the spring cycle and the 1.0 and 1.2 EC during the summer. During the winter cycle, no differences in leaf area between treatments were observed. In spring, plants at the 1.2 and 1.4 EC had the highest yields and largest fruits, while during the summer, plants at the 1.0 and 1.2 EC produced the most fruit. In winter, the highest yield was found at the 1.4 EC. The soluble solids concentration (SSC) of fruit was increased at the 1.4 EC both in the spring and summer cycles, while in the winter cycle, there was no difference between the treatments. Only fruit at the 1.4 EC in the summer cycle had an increased acidity. The findings indicate that under greenhouse conditions, tomato cultivation in a single-truss system can be successful if the plants are supplied with a nutrient solution at an EC value of 1.2–1.4 mS·cm−1.
Mountaineering in the Himalayas: A Comprehensive Analysis Through a Literature Review and Research Profiling
Authors: Nowacki Marek
Published: December 2023

Introduction.
The article aims to analyse the current state of knowledge about mountaineering in the Himalayas through a systematic literature review.

Material and Methods.
For this purpose, the following research questions were formulated: Which journals publish the most studies concerning the Himalayas and which authors make significant contributors to this area of research? What are the dominant research themes, and how have they changed over the years? What factors contribute to success and deaths in Himalayan mountaineering? The study is based on a mapping review of publications from the Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO and Google Scholar databases with research profiling and co-word analysis using VOSviewer. In total, 189 articles selected for review were subjected to automatic content analysis (text mining, clustering) in the VOSviewer program to produce a self-organising map of keywords, grouped into four thematic areas: (1) tourism management, geo-ecology and local community; (2) psychology, anthropology and risk of high altitude physical activity; (3) acclimatisation, hypoxia pathophysiology; and (4) altitude and acute disease, brain and pulmonary oedema.

Results.
In the qualitative phase of the analysis, success and failure factors in Himalayan mountaineering were identified. It can be concluded that it is becoming safer and more common for climbers to reach the summit and such achievements are more accessible to women and older people.

Conclusions.
Safety increases can be attributed to the obligatory use of oxygen by mountain guides, better infrastructure on the trail (two-way system of lifelines), more reliable weather forecasts, and the assistance of experienced leaders.
Wavelet Analysis of Rearfoot Loading of Patients After Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) Reconstruction
Authors: Czaplicki Adam , Jarocka Martyna , Sacewicz Tomasz , Walawski Jacek , Jaszczuk Janusz
Published: December 2023

Introduction.
Patellar instability in younger patients is a common injury (3.3% of all knee injury episodes) and the most frequent dislocation of the knee observed. The sensitivity and reliability of clinical diagnostic tests after medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction remain unclear and biased. The primary aim of the present study was thus to detect, using wavelet analysis, differences in the rearfoot loading of the operated limb of patients after MPFL reconstruction. The authors hypothesised that applying this specific examination technique would allow for more accurate and less biased clinical results evaluation.

Material and Methods.
The study involved a group of 15 female subjects (age: 22.8 ± 6.3 years; weight: 58.5 ± 5.1 kg) after MPFL reconstruction and a control group of 29 healthy females (23.2 ± 2.8 years; 61.1 ± 7.7 kg). The subjects performed a 30-second classic Romberg test on a treadmill (Noraxon FDN-T) equipped with a matrix of baroresistive sensors to measure ground reaction forces. Time-frequency analysis of the signal originating from the treadmill was done using an analytic Morse wavelet.

Results.
The results indicate differences in visual control and vestibular stability in patients before and 3 months after a surgery. They are characterised by a deficit of energy attributed to visual control in favour of an excess of energy associated with vestibular control. Patellar instability patients show greater energy expenditure to maintain body balance for at least 6 months after MPFL reconstruction.

Conclusions.
Patellar instability patients have increased vestibular control while maintaining balance. Our results suggest an extended rehabilitation period for patients after MPFL reconstruction beyond 6 months.
Effects of Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) Supplementation on Body Composition and Blood Health Indices in Professional Wrestlers
Authors: Długołęcka Barbara , Jówko Ewa , Kotowska Jadwiga , Gierczuk Dariusz
Published: December 2023

Introduction.
The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was to evaluate the effect of ashwagandha supplementation on the body composition, blood health and recovery indices, as well as the safety of ashwagandha supplementation in wrestling.

Material and Methods.
To investigate this, body composition (using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry; DEXA) and blood parameters as indicators of athletes’ health status (i.e., hematology, liver, kidney and muscle tissue function, lipid profile) were measured before and after 8-week supplementation with ashwagandha extract (600 mg/day) in professional national team wrestlers following an intensive training plan (as part of an annual training cycle).

Results.
At the end of the study, there was a significant increase in fat-free mass and muscle mass, with a significant decrease in fat mass (both in absolute and relative terms) in both ashwagandha and placebo groups (main effect of time, p < 0.05). However, ashwagandha supplementation did not affect any of the body composition parameters (main effect of group or interaction of time and group, p > 0.05). Moreover, intense wrestling training induced an increase in blood creatine kinase activity as an indicator of muscle tissue damage (main effect of time, p < 0.05). Ashwagandha supplementation did not significantly affect any hematological or biochemical blood parameters (p > 0.05 for main effect of group and interaction of time and group). However, the increase in creatine kinase activity during the study seemed to be more pronounced in the placebo group (post-hoc; p < 0.05) than in the ashwagandha group (post-hoc; p > 0.05).

Conclusions.
In conclusion, ashwagandha supplementation at 600 mg daily for 8 weeks is well tolerated and safe for professional wrestlers. This strategy does not appear to offer additional body composition benefits beyond the effect of intense wrestling training. On the other hand, our results indicate some potential for ashwagandha in improving muscle tissue recovery, which needs to be confirmed on a larger population of athletes.

Authors: Gilić Barbara , Vrdoljak Dario , Kesic Marijana Geets , Spasic Miodrag
Published: December 2023

Introduction.Lipid profile is one of the main determinants of cardiovascular health status. Moderate and vigorous physical activity can positively influence lipid profile, and one such activity is sport climbing. The main aim of this study was to determine the lipid profile and to investigate the influence of training experience on the lipid profile of youth climbers.

Material and Methods.This research included 12 youth climbers aged 15.33 ± 1.30 years (6 males, 6 females), who were tested on anthropo-metric indices and lipid profile (total cholesterol, high-density lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins, triglycerides) using the point-of-care testing. Variables of lipid profile were correlated with years of climbing experience by Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients, while the differences between females and males were checked by the Mann-Whitney U test.

Results.Youth climbers had acceptable levels of all measured lipid parameters. Training experience was significantly positively correlated with body mass index (R = 0.76, p < 0.01) and significantly negatively correlated with cholesterol (R = -0.80, p < 0.01).

Conclusions.Results support that climbing as a vigorous and enjoyable physical activity might be advertised as a proxy for reaching recommended amounts of physical activity among adolescents, which is associated with improved lipid profile. However, this is only a preliminary investigation advocating that determinants of health status related to climbing practice should be further investigated.

Published: December 2023

Introduction.
In general, during the theoretical content taught in different educational stages, students are seated for several hours and expository methods are used by the teacher. Under these conditions, emotions such as anxiety, boredom and loss of attention may appear. To improve this situation, several studies have shown that active breaks (AB) in class are a good option. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the effect of AB with dance in the classroom on the emotional state and attention level of university students.

Material and methods.
A crossover design was employed where the type of rest (active vs. passive) was compared in two class groups for a total of 68 students (age 20.7 ± 1.7 years, 50% female). The variables studied were the level of attention and emotional state, assessed using the d2 test and the mood rating scale (EVEA). A multilevel linear model was applied and Cohen’s d was calculated for the statistical analysis.

Results.
Although there was an improvement in the level of attention with the implementation of AB with dance (p > 0.05, |d| = 0.15-0.28), this was not significant. In the emotional state, a decrease in the level of sadness was found (p > 0.05; d = - 0.16) without statistical significance.

Conclusions.
The application of AB with dance in the classroom provides a way to increase students’ physical activity levels without negatively affecting the level of attention. Further studies with theoretical classes of longer duration and in a longer intervention period could provide new data on the benefits of AB with dance.

Published: December 2023

Algeria is currently undergoing an evolution in civil engineering, which has resulted in a higher use of aggregates, especially sand. This study contributes to the development of locally produced materials. Its goal is to explore how the type of sand and waste marble powder (WMP), which can be used as a partial replacement of cement and aluminum powder (Al) with different percentages as an expansive agent, can affect physico-mechanical properties such as the bulk density and mechanical strength at 28 and 90 days, as well as the thermal conductivity of lightweight cellular concrete. Non-autoclaved cellular concretes (CC) were investigated based on three types of sand, i.e., sea sand (SS), river sand (RS), and waste marble sand (WMS); a hydraulic binder (a mix of cement and waste marble powder), and aluminum powder. The experimental results indicate that the nature and particle size distribution of the sand used had an impact on the properties of the CCs. Furthermore, it can be seen that the increased aluminum contents decrease the density, mechanical strength, and thermal characteristics of the CCs. Using 10-15% WMP as a cement substitute improves the mechanical strength, offers better thermal conductivity values, and contributes to sustainable development by developing a new class of environmentally friendly cellular concrete.
Interprofessional Education with Simulations in Primary Care
Authors: KLEMENC-KETIŠ Zalika , ZAFOŠNIK Uroš
Published: December 2023

The introduction of interprofessional primary care (IPC) as a model of collaborative patient care is increasingly vital in the context of complex healthcare systems and the growing needs of patients. Its benefits include improved patient outcomes, enhanced efficiency, and reduced costs. However, the successful implementation of IPC faces challenges due to the differences in training and backgrounds among healthcare professionals, emphasising the importance of effective teamwork and collaborative education.

Educational approaches utilising simulations have gained prominence, particularly in addressing the challenges of interprofessional primary care. Notably, simulations facilitate team learning, enhancing team management and confidence, which ultimately leads to improved performance in real-life scenarios. They also contribute to patient safety by providing comprehensive training and creating a safe environment for professionals to practice and refine their skills without risking real patient harm.

Moreover, simulations promote psychological safety, allowing healthcare workers to manage stress effectively and prepare for critical situations. Ethical considerations are met through simulation-based education, ensuring patient confidentiality, and creating a standardised and just learning environment for all students. Simulations contribute to promoting equity in medical education by providing equal access to high-quality training opportunities for all healthcare professionals.

In conclusion, successful IPC implementation requires a comprehensive approach that includes interprofessional education and the integration of simulations as an essential component of the curriculum at all levels of healthcare education. This approach fosters effective communication, teamwork, and confidence among primary care teams, ultimately leading to improved patient care and outcomes.

Introduction

Telemonitoring improves clinical outcomes in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), however, cost structure analyses are lacking. This study seeks to explore the cost structure of telemonitoring for the elderly with AH and T2D in primary care and identify factors influencing costs for potential future expansions.

Methods

Infrastructure, operational, patient participation, and out-of-pocket costs were determined using a bottom-up approach. Infrastructure costs were determined by dividing equipment and telemonitoring platform expenses by the number of participants. Operational and patient participation costs were determined by considering patient training time, data measurement/review time, and teleconsultation time. The change in out-of-pocket costs was assessed in both groups using a structured questionnaire and 12-month expenditure data. Statistical analysis employed an unpaired sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and chi-square test.

Results

A total of 117 patients aged 71.4±4.7 years were included in the study. The telemonitoring intervention incurred an annual infrastructure costs of €489.4 and operational costs of €97.3 (95% CI 85.7-109.0) per patient. Patient annual participation costs were €215.6 (95% CI 190.9-241.1). Average annual out-of-pocket costs for both groups were €345 (95% CI 221-469). After 12 months the telemonitoring group reported significantly lower out-of-pocket costs (€132 vs. €545, p<0.001), driven by reduced spending on food, dietary supplements, medical equipment, and specialist check-ups compared to the standard care group.

Conclusion

To optimise the cost structure of telemonitoring, strategies like shortening the telemonitoring period, developing a national telemonitoring platform, using patient devices, integrating artificial intelligence into platforms, and involving nurse practitioners as telemedicine centre coordinators should be explored.

Published: December 2023

Aim

The aim of our study was to validate the Slovene translation of the STOP-BANG (SBQ) questionnaire for use in the primary practice setting.

Methods

We recruited 158 randomly selected visitors at four primary practice clinics who came to the practice for any reason. Participants completed the Slovene SBQ and underwent type 3 respiratory polygraphy, which was analysed by an experienced somnologist. The SBQ was previously translated in to Slovene and validated for the sleep clinic.

Results

Of 158 participants, 153 had valid recordings. The mean age of the participants was 49.5 years (±13.0 years), and 47.7% were male. OSA was identified in 49.0% of the participants. The questionnaire, with a cutoff of ≥3, demonstrated an area under the curve of 0.823 for any OSA (REI≥5), 0.819 for moderate and severe OSA (REI≥15) and 0.847 for severe OSA (REI≥30). Sensitivity was 65.3%, 81.8%, and 90.0%, and specificity was 87.2%, 73.3% and 65.0% for any, moderate to severe and severe OSA, respectively.

Conclusions

The Slovene translation of the SBQ is a reliable instrument for OSA risk stratification in the primary practice setting.

Authors: VIRTIČ POTOČNIK Tina , KLEMENC-KETIŠ Zalika
Published: December 2023

Background

Patient safety is a crucial element of quality healthcare, and endeavours to enhance it are vital for attaining universal health coverage and improving patient outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the perception of patient safety culture among staff at the Community Health Centre Ljubljana (CHCL).

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted in December 2022. All CHCL staff (N=1,564) from different professional groups were invited to participate in an anonymous electronic survey using the validated Slovenian version of the “Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture” (MOSPSC). Mean percent positive scores for all items in each composite were calculated.

Results

The final sample included 377 participants (response rate, 24.1%), most of whom were women (91.5%, N=345) with different professional profiles. The mean age of the participants was 44.5 years (SD 11.1) with a mean work experience of 20.1 years (SD 12.1). The percentage of positive overall MOSPSC composite scores was 59.6%. A strong patient safety culture perception was identified in the following dimensions: Information exchange with other settings (93.5%), Organisational learning (90.2%), List of patient safety and quality issues (88.1%), Patient care tracking/follow-up (76.2 %) and Teamwork (75.0%). Weak patient safety culture was identified in the dimensions of Work pressure and pace (10.7%), Leadership support for patient safety (27.1%), Communication openness (40.9%), Office processes and standardisation (48.2%) and Overall ratings on quality and patient safety (49.4%).

Conclusions

CHCL leadership should address weaknesses, redesign processes, and implement strategies to reduce patient safety incidents. Establishing a just culture that encourages employees to report errors fosters transparency and facilitates learning from errors.
