Authors: Ismail Nur Izyan , Mohamed Salleh Sabariah
Published: August 2024

Pandemik COVID-19 telah menimbulkan cabaran yang besar, terutamanya bagi warga tua, yang berisiko tinggi mendapat penyakit dan komplikasi yang lebih tinggi. Pemvaksinan telah menjadi langkah kesihatan awam yang penting untuk melindungi kumpulan yang terdedah ini, tetapi keraguan terhadap vaksin masih menjadi kebimbangan. Kajian kualitatif ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peranan agama dalam membentuk amalan dan proses membuat keputusan warga tua ke arah vaksinasi COVID-19. Temu bual mendalam telah dijalankan terhadap 15 orang warga tua yang berumur 60 tahun ke atas di Malaysia, yang mana kajian ini menggunakan persampelan bola salji untuk menganalisis pendapat daripada kumpulan informan yang menepati kriteria. Terdapat lima tema utama yang terhasil daripada analisis temu bual tersebut iaitu; (i) Agama Islam saran jaga kesihatan dan bertawakal (ii) Ilmuan agama dan ulama terima vaksin (iii) “…Nak pergi Mekah pon kena vaksin…” (iv) vaksin adalah haram dan, (v) makanan sunnah. Dapatan kajian ini menemukan warga tua lebih berhati-hati untuk menerima dos penggalak kedua apabila pengaruh kepercayaan agama memainkan peranan yang penting dalam proses membuat keputusan terhadap vaksin penggalak. Selain itu kajian ini mendapati kepercayaan terhadap ilmuan agama dan ulama yang sangat kuat menjadi faktor yang penting dalam penerimaan vaksin. Kajian ini juga mendedahkan bahawa kepercayaan fatalistik kesihatan juga mempengaruhi amalan warga tua terhadap vaksinasi COVID-19, sekali gus ianya memerlukan sokongan pemimpin agama untuk meningkatkan liputan vaksinasi pada masa akan datang. Justeru itu, memahami pengaruh kepercayaan dan amalan agama terhadap penerimaan vaksin adalah penting untuk membangunkan strategi komunikasi masa depan bagi menggalakkan keyakinan vaksinasi di kalangan warga tua.

Published: August 2024

This research focuses on the organisational culture of a university with a religious identity, namely Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University (WMSCU). Pacanowsky and Trujillo suggest that this identity generates a unique organizational culture. This research highlights the experiences of organisational members who have belief values that are different from their organisational values. This study aims to describe the experiences and meanings of Muslim employees regarding Patron Day commemoration as a form of organisational culture at WMSCU. A qualitative approach and phenomenological method are employed in this research. The findings indicate that Muslim employees interpret the Patron Day commemoration as a beneficial activity, recognizing and emulating the values of Patron John Paul's life as a learning opportunity of noble values. It serves as a platform for learning beyond their own beliefs. Ultimately, this meaning contributes to the emergence of religious tolerance, which is reflected in the organisational communication patterns among its members, particularly in personal relationships. The study underscores the importance of striving for two-way communication in the form of interpersonal dialogue to foster a positive organisational culture."

In crystals of advanced superionic conductors (AdSICs), the hopping fast ionic transport (FIT) has record-braking low activation energy ≈ 0.1 eV while specific ionic conductivity (Ag+-or Cu+-ions) is at the level ≈ 0.2 Om-1cm-1 (300K), which is also characteristic of liquid electrolytes. All-solid-state and rather high-frequency supercapacitors on the basis of AdSICs (perspective, for example, for on-chip applications) are not presented in literature though could be demanded. In this work, the experimental SC with symmetrical functional heterojunctions, i.e., electronic conductor (EC) /AdSIC/ EC, were created by a method of crystallization of AdSIC-fusion on surfaces of macroscopically smooth ECs. The search for the states with FIT on EC/AdSIC het-erojunctions was fulfilled by the method of comparison of charge-discharge characteristics of EC/AdSIC/EC and standard capacitor, close in capacitance. Chemical compositions of EC and AdSIC were modified when developing of SC with acceptable characteristics. New AdSICs, i.e., solid solutions on the basis of CsAg4Br2.5I2.5 chemical compound in which a part of iodine was replaced by tellurium, were for the first time synthesized. These AdSICs provided in EC/AdSIC/EC (EC are alloys on the basis of Au) with volume of about 1 mm3 the record high specific capacitance δС > 100 μF cm-2 (at T = 300 K) for charge/discharge duration τ ∼ 50μs (for f recharge frequencies ∼104 Hz): the phenomenon can be caused by FIT in an electric double-layer (EDL). The capacitance δС > 100 μF cm-2 remained after 300 000 cycles of charge/discharge. The graphic scheme of distribution of charges explaining the nature of δС > 100 μF cm-2 is proposed. At an increase of τ to 5 s the capacitance of EC/AdSIC/EC increased up to δС ∼ 5000— 8000μF/cm2 what is explained with presence of pseudocapacitance. Further R & D are necessary as for creation of prototypes of EC/AdSIC/EC supercapacitors with δС > 100 μF cm-2 (300 K, τ ∼ 1 ÷ 10 μs) by methods of microelectronic technologies, and for increase of capacitance by use of EC having a large internal 3D surface.
Distraction of longitudinally split fragments using the Ilizarov method: a series of clinical cases of treating partial bone defects
Authors: Vandenbulcke Filippo , Malagoli Emiliano , Kirienko Alexander
Published: August 2024

Background. The Ilizarov method is a recognized technique for treating severe skeletal injuries, allowing for a comprehensive restoration of both bone and soft tissue components. Despite the fact that bone lengthening and transport are widely known techniques, distraction of a longitudinally split fragment is still used extremely rarely.
The aim of the study is to describe a series of clinical cases involving patients operated on using this technique.
Methods. We present a series of observations of five patients who underwent distraction of a longitudinally split fragment using the Ilizarov method between January 2006 and December 2022. Clinical information was obtained from case histories, all surgical interventions were documented. Postoperative examination was performed using radiography.
Results. A case series demonstrates the successful application of this technique for reconstruction of partial bone defects resulting from trauma or osteomyelitis. The study included five patients (4 men and 1 woman) who underwent surgery 4.8-34.0 months after trauma for a partial defect of the proximal tibia ranging from 4 to 8 cm in length. Distraction was performed in different directions along the sagittal and longitudinal axes. The time of external fixation ranged from 3.5 to 4.8 months, the external fixation index ranged from 0.49 to 1.22. The ASAMI (Association for the Study and Application of the Methods of Ilizarov) functional score at the follow-up examination was excellent in all five patients. The ASAMI bone tissue assessment showed excellent results in all patients, except for one patient with residual equinus (good result). No other complications were reported.
Conclusions. The Ilizarov method provides a minimally invasive and comprehensive approach to the elimination of partial bone defects, affecting simultaneously the skeletal and soft tissue components. Due to the longitudinal splitting during fragment transport and distraction osteogenesis, this method promotes bone and tissue regeneration and helps to avoid a volumetric bone defect and more complex segmental bone transport. Moreover, the role of transverse transport of the tibial cortex increases in the treatment of peripheral arterial diseases.
Lowering of the Patella — prevention and treatment of a rare complication during leg lengthening: a case report
Authors: Kirienko Alexander , Vandenbulcke Filippo , Malagoli Emiliano
Published: August 2024

Background. Changes in the level of the patella position are a well-known complication of knee replacement, reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament, high tibial osteotomy and consequences of injuries. However, this problem has not been disclosed in the literature in relation to distraction osteogenesis using the Ilizarov method.
The aim of the study is to describe such a rare iatrogenic complication as patella baja during limb lengthening by the Ilizarov method using a clinical case as an example.
Case description. In 2017, a 17-year-old teenager was injured in a head-on collision of cars at high speed. The patient was diagnosed with an open fracture of the left femur and fibula and tibia of the left leg. He was treated in another clinic using the Ilizarov apparatus for osteosynthesis of the femur, tibia and proximal osteotomy of the tibia to move the bone to fill the distal bone defect. At the end of the treatment, the patient had a moderate limitation of the knee flexion (180-80°). In 2018, the patient was admitted to our clinic due to osteomyelitis at the level of the consolidated fracture. A new resection of the osteomyelitis lesion and proximal osteotomy for bifocal osteogenesis were performed. During the treatment, limitation of knee flexion (180-120°) was developed and radiographic signs of low position of the patella were obtained. Given the progression of patella baja (the Caton-Deschamps index = 0.51), we were forced to return the patient to the operating room to restore the correct height of the patella.
Conclusions. The presented clinical case emphasizes the need for a more thorough assessment of the patella height after surgical treatment on the proximal tibia using the Ilizarov method. It is also noted that it is important to conduct a control MRI, which allows for a more detailed study of the initial position of the anterior tibial tubercle. In our case, early detection of complications allowed us to achieve complete recovery without any consequences.

Authors: Rachmawati Indriyana , Farozin Moh , Basuki Agus
Published: August 2024

Academic resilience has become an interesting topic of discussion as a result of the increase in academic burnout experienced by prospective counselors recently as a result of increasing academic assignments. Prospective counselors who experience academic burnout generally have poor academic resilience because they feel tired or bored with academic tasks while still studying, and this has an impact on the resulting performance. This research aims to determine the relationship between academic burnout and the academic resilience of prospective counselors. We used a quantitative research method, employing a correlation research design, to reveal the relationship between the two. The research sample involved 105 prospective counselor students in Indonesia taken using convenience sampling techniques. The research sample's data collection method employed a scale measuring academic burnout and academic resilience. The data was analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment method. The research results show that academic resilience has a negative relationship with academic burnout. This means that the higher the academic resilience that a prospective counselor has, the lower the academic burnout they experience, and conversely, the lower the academic resilience of a prospective counselor, the lower the academic burnout.

Un Caso de Estudio sobre el Reflejo de la Carga Laboral en las Emociones de Trabajadores del Sector Industrial
Authors: Manga Pacheco Jorge , Barraza Algarín Juan , Carrillo Escorcia Heidy , Freite Pacheco Luis , Jimenez Polo Sara , Mojica-Herazo Julio
Published: August 2024

La carga laboral en el sector industrial tiene un impacto significativo en las emociones de los trabajadores, afectando su bienestar y rendimiento. Este estudio examina cómo la carga laboral se refleja en las emociones de los empleados en un entorno industrial específico. A través de una metodología mixta que incluye una encuesta y una exhaustiva revisión bibliográfica, se recopilaron datos que revelan que una carga laboral excesiva está asociada con niveles elevados de estrés, ansiedad y agotamiento emocional. Ser un trabajador eficaz debería conectarse con la satisfacción en el desempeño de las tareas y el goce de los beneficios que estas aportan a las organizaciones; sin embargo, este logro personal se ve comprometido cuando el sistema inmunológico comienza a deteriorarse por el peso de las exigencias laborales, puesto que el aumento de cortisol en la sangre impacta el cerebro límbico, afectando la regulación emocional y el bienestar general de los empleados. Este sentimiento de agotamiento emocional se traduce en un incremento del índice de ausentismo, donde los trabajadores pueden sentirse incapaces de cumplir con sus responsabilidades debido a la fatiga y el estrés acumulados. Asimismo, la disminución de la motivación y la moral de los empleados impacta negativamente en el clima laboral, generando un ambiente menos colaborativo y más propenso a conflictos. Este estudio sugiere que implementar estrategias efectivas para gestionar la carga laboral y brindar apoyo emocional puede mejorar significativamente el bienestar de los empleados y su desempeño laboral, contribuyendo a un clima organizacional más positivo y cohesionado.

The study included 105 patients according to inclusion criteria whose age, height (cm), weight (kg), body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2), waist circumference (WC) (cm), hip circumference (cm) and waist hip ratio (WHR) were measured in their first visit and compared with seminal volume, concentration, count, total motility and morphology.
Results: In this study as the age increases, the sperm concentration, count and total motility is found to be deteriorating. However, the volume and morphology does not have any association. BMI was found to have inverse relation with the seminal parameters and statistical association with the sperm concentration, count, total motility and morphology. The sperm concentration, count and morphology were found to be reducing with increased WC. WHR affects the concentration, motility and morphology negatively.
Conclusions: This study concluded that age and BMI statistically has negative correlation on semen parameters, however measures of central obesity like WC and WHR does not have any statistical correlation with the semen parameters.

Background: Percentage of women undergoing caesarean section (CS) during childbirth continues to increase globally, more in developed than in developing countries. Accordingly, world health organization (WHO) currently recommends an acceptable rate of CS at 10-15% of total deliveries and the rate of CS may be inappropriately high in several regions of the world including India. So, we planned this study to assess, monitor and compare CS rates using Robson classification. This study aimed to apply Robson’s Ten Group Classification System (TGCS) for audit of CS and to determine contribution of each subgroup to overall CS rate to plan further interventions.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of data collected from 1000 consecutive women undergoing CS in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at a tertiary care center and teaching institute in North India from January 2023 to August 2023.
Results: CS accounted for 26.3% of all deliveries at our institute lower than rate reported from various other tertiary care centers in India. 35.6% of all CS were elective while the rest were performed as emergency procedures. Major contributors to CS were Robson’s groups 5, 10 and 2. The main indications for CS was fetal distress (25.3%). Considering the fact that fetal distress, breech, prior CS and refusal of TOLAC accounted for approximately 2/3rd of our CSs.
Conclusions: Careful use of cardiotocography, continuous support during labor, external cephalic version for breech presentation, and proper counseling regarding TOLAC in women with prior CS can help in significant reduction in CS rates.

Published: August 2024

Background: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is the foremost liver disorder, presenting substantial risks and complications to maternal and fetal health. Characterized by pruritus and elevated bile acids and serum transaminases.
Methods: The study focuses on profiling 70 patients of ICP understanding the correlations between liver function tests with serum bile acid and evaluating the impact of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) treatment and also focus on various maternal and fetal outcome.
Results: The study identified a predominance of primigravida (68.6%) of 26-30 years of age (47.1%), often needing hormonal support (34.3%), with a high incidence of abnormal CTG findings (28.6%) and fetal distress (17.1%) with maximum patient with moderate serum bile acid levels. IHCP diagnosis was commonly noted between 32-36.6 weeks GA (57.1%). The treatment with UDCA 300-TDS (in 72.9% patient) was providing relief to about 75% of participants within a week. Most deliveries occurred between 37-39 weeks (70%) GA, predominantly via LSCS (54.3%), NVD (35.7%) and assisted vaginal delivery (10%). PPH was seen in 4.3% patients. Fetal outcomes revealed 40% incidence of meconium-stained liquor and about 12% NICU admissions with no fetal mortality. Most participants (78.6%) had serum bile acid levels in the 10-40 µmol/L range.
Conclusions: Significant correlations were noted between SGOT and SGPT and with ALP and bile acid. In contrast, bilirubin showed no significant correlations. Higher UDCA dosages showed a dose-response relationship, implying their effectiveness in managing ICP.

Published: August 2024

Background: An instrumental delivery includes vacuum assisted delivery and obstetric forceps delivery, which is used to cut short the second stage of labour. In modern obstetric practice, there is increased rate of cesarean section worldwide. In India, incidence of operative vaginal deliveries (OVDs) varies between 2.5-5%. A successful instrumental delivery decreases the possibility of cesarean section and its morbidity and its implications for future pregnancy.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in our tertiary care hospital, in department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from May 2022 to April 2024. All pregnant females with full term singleton pregnancy with cephalic presentation were included in this study. In this study, we studied indications, requirement of type of OVDs, maternal and perinatal outcomes.
Results: In our study, incidence of instrumental deliveries was 4.25%. Use of instrumental delivery was more common in primigravida and most common indication was prolonged second stage of labour. Most common maternal morbidity was extension of episiotomy and fetal morbidity was birth asphyxia. 6 babies needed NICU admission. Few babies had low APGAR score at 1 and 5 minutes.
Conclusions: Instrumental delivery has found to be safe and it is the best option to cesarean delivery.

Published: August 2024

Background: Approximately a quarter of continent women with Pelvic organ Prolapse (POP) may develop Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) on prolapse reduction which is known as Occult SUI (OSUI). Aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence OSUI in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). To compare the diagnostic value of ambulatory ring pessary trial, urodynamics and clinical examination in detecting occult stress urinary incontinence and to find out an association of OSUI with demographic profile and the stages of POP.
Methods: It was a prospective cohort study conducted between September 2017 to June 2019 in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, AIIMS, New Delhi. The study was approved by Institutional Ethics Committee. Ref no. IECPG-201/23.08.2017, RT-05/07.09.2017.
Results: The incidence of OSUI in this study was 22.8%. It was observed that OSUI is more prevalent in patients with parity of >/=3.  Association with factors like age, BMI, mode of delivery and place of delivery was not found to be significant. Among screening tests to diagnose OSUI, ring pessary detected 88.88%, clinical examination and urodynamics (UDS) detected 77.77% and 33.33% cases respectively. The sensitivity of the pessary test, speculum test and UDS were found to be 88.89%, 77.78%, and 33.33% respectively and the diagnostic accuracy of these tests was 97.47%, 94.94% and 84.81% respectively.
Conclusions: The pessary was found to detect the maximum number of cases pre-operatively as compared to Urodynamic study and clinical examination.
Amniotic band syndrome: a diagnostic dilemma
Authors: Priya Pritti K. , Aggarwal Rohina
Published: August 2024

Amniotic band syndrome can cause a broad spectrum of anomalies ranging from simple band constrictions to major craniofacial and visceral defects. It occurs when the amnion is damaged during pregnancy. Thin strands of tissue called amniotic bands form inside the amnion and can tangle around the developing fetus, restricting blood flow, thus affecting the growth of certain body parts. This can cause congenital deformities of limbs, and if vital organs are involved, it can result in significant neonatal morbidity. A 25-year-old primigravida was referred for fetal karyotyping as the targeted anomaly scan revealed bilateral limb defects along with a single umbilical artery. The right foot was reported as lymphedema, and the left foot showed clubfoot deformity. Here, we report a case of amniotic band syndrome, which was missed for “Milroy’s primary congenital lymphedema” in antenatal sonography but was revealed in fetal autopsy. Mostly, amniotic band syndrome is diagnosed after birth, but with the advancement of ultrasound, prenatal diagnosis is possible. Also, three-dimensional ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging can be used for a more detailed and accurate diagnosis. Accurate diagnosis is very important for further management of the pregnancy and in counselling regarding recurrences in future pregnancies.
