Authors: Ganti Wan Rohila , Abdul Razak Shahidah , Yaakob Ahmad Faiz , Mohd Yunus Mohd Zulhilmi
Published: August 2024

The UNDI18 Bill, which lowered the voting age from 21 to 18 and provided automatic voter registration, was passed in 2019 by the Malaysian Parliament to the applause of many stakeholders. However, concerns have been raised about the readiness of these 18-year-olds to vote, given their limited exposure to political discussions. To address this, this study aimed to (i) explore the political awareness of 18-year-old first-time voters in Malaysia, (ii) investigate their sources of political information, and (iii) examine the relationship between their Malay student background studying in a Malay-based university and their political party and candidate choices. We surveyed 5,586 undergraduate students from Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia, using a quantitative research design. Our findings revealed that science stream students were less politically aware than their social science counterparts, and that respondents from the Faculty of Administrative Science and Policy Studies scored the highest. Additionally, social media was the primary source of political information for our respondents. We also found that Malay students studying at a Malay-based university showed strong support for the Malay political leaders which supports the perception that Universiti Teknologi MARA nurtures its undergraduates to be defenders of Malay supremacy. Overall, our study provides valuable insights into the political awareness and behavior of 18-year-old Malaysians, which can inform efforts to engage and educate this demographic in future elections.

Authors: Mohidin Rosle , Ahmad Saufi Roselina , Mahmud Roslinah
Published: August 2024

Knowledge transfer entails not only the transmission of information, but also the transmission of experience, best practises, and learning. This combination, known as tacit knowledge, is well recognised as being extremely difficult to articulate and record, but it is invaluable in adding depth and context to information to provide a richer understanding. As a result, ensuring an effective knowledge transfer process necessitates significant dimensions such as human capital skills and values, knowledge type, knowledge transfer methods, and organisational support. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that influence the implementation of knowledge transfer projects in Malaysian higher education institutions. Based on the comprehensive literature review and pilot study findings, the study identified Higher Institutions of Education (HIE) Capacity, Academia Capability, Graduate Interns Capability, KT Partner Organization, Relational Elements, Technology Augmentation, External Factor, and Knowledge Transfer Mechanism as the primary factors influencing KT project performance. Aside from that, the study suggests that the Knowledge Transfer Mechanism and government policy play a mediating role in the proposed model.
Assessment of the Quality and Readability of Web-Based Arabic Health Information on Halitosis: Infodemiological Study (Preprint)
Authors: Aboalshamat Khalid
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Halitosis, characterized by an undesirable mouth odor, represents a common concern.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to assess the quality and readability of web-based Arabic health information on halitosis as the internet is becoming a prominent global source of medical information.

METHODS

A total of 300 Arabic websites were retrieved from Google using 3 commonly used phrases for halitosis in Arabic. The quality of the websites was assessed using benchmark criteria established by the Journal of the American Medical Association, the DISCERN tool, and the presence of the Health on the Net Foundation Code of Conduct (HONcode). The assessment of readability (Flesch Reading Ease [FRE], Simple Measure of Gobbledygook, and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level [FKGL]) was conducted using web-based readability indexes.

RESULTS

A total of 127 websites were examined. Regarding quality assessment, 87.4% (n=111) of websites failed to fulfill any Journal of the American Medical Association requirements, highlighting a lack of authorship (authors’ contributions), attribution (references), disclosure (sponsorship), and currency (publication date). The DISCERN tool had a mean score of 34.55 (SD 7.46), with the majority (n=72, 56.6%) rated as moderate quality, 43.3% (n=55) as having a low score, and none receiving a high DISCERN score, indicating a general inadequacy in providing quality health information to make decisions and treatment choices. No website had HONcode certification, emphasizing the concern over the credibility and trustworthiness of these resources. Regarding readability assessment, Arabic halitosis websites had high readability scores, with 90.5% (n=115) receiving an FRE score ≥80, 98.4% (n=125) receiving a Simple Measure of Gobbledygook score <7, and 67.7% (n=86) receiving an FKGL score <7. There were significant correlations between the DISCERN scores and the quantity of words (P<.001) and sentences (P<.001) on the websites. Additionally, there was a significant relationship (P<.001) between the number of sentences and FKGL and FRE scores.

CONCLUSIONS

While readability was found to be very good, indicating that the information is accessible to the public, the quality of Arabic halitosis websites was poor, reflecting a significant gap in providing reliable and comprehensive health information. This highlights the need for improving the availability of high-quality materials to ensure Arabic-speaking populations have access to reliable information about halitosis and its treatment options, tying quality and availability together as critical for effective health communication.

Authors: Robin Louise , Mandigout Stéphane , Batcho Charles S. , Gelineau Axelle , Borel Benoit
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Videoconference combines the convenience of home physical exercise (PE) with group interaction and supervision of exercise in the community and could be useful for facilitating PE practice among older adults

OBJECTIVE

This scoping review aims to access evidence on the usability of videoconferencing technologies as a medium for PE interventions delivered synchronously to healthy older adults.

METHODS

Electronic searches on databases (Pubmed/Ovid Medline, Science Direct, Scopus, CINHAL) until December 2023 for identifying articles on measures of usability (i.e.: effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction of technology).

RESULTS

Thirteen studies out of 1846 unique records were included. Retrieved results showed that videoconferencing strategies can be used to deliver synchronous exercise interventions. However, their effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction are variable depending on the technological medium used. Despite widespread use among older individuals, few studies evaluate usability, highlighting a gap in evaluation methods for PE remote intervention.

CONCLUSIONS

The review suggests that while older adults can use technology to deliver synchronous interventions, further research with standardized tools is crucial to ensure their active engagement in physical exercise. Evaluating the usability of the technologies used for these programs can help tailor them to the needs and characteristics of older adults. Our findings also underscore the importance of continuing research to assess the effectiveness and acceptability of videoconferencing technologies within the context of exercise interventions. Ongoing research is essential to guide the development of customized solutions and optimize the efficacy of interventions for this population.

BACKGROUND

Youth and families play an indispensable role in health research, given their unique lived experiences and expertise. Aligning research with patients’ needs, values, and preferences can significantly enhance its relevance and impact; however, recent research has highlighted various challenges and risks associated with youth and family engagement in health research. These challenges encompass the perils of tokenism, power imbalances and dynamics, questioning the motives behind engagement, limited accessibility to patient-friendly training for patient partners, as well as inadequate training on patient engagement for researchers, and the absence of equitable engagement tools. To address these risks and challenges, different patient engagement models, theories, frameworks, and guiding principles have been developed and adopted; to date, however, their transferability to youth- and family-specific engagement in research has been limited.

OBJECTIVE

The objectives of this project are to 1) to determine the extent of the literature on the application of patient engagement models, theories, frameworks, and guiding principles in the context of youth-specific research; and 2) to determine how meaningful the key components and constructs of these models, theories, frameworks, and guiding principles are to youth and their family members.

METHODS

This project will utilize an integrated knowledge translation approach and will consist of 2 phases: 1) a scoping review to identify patient engagement models, theories, frameworks and guiding principles in the context of youth-specific research, and 2) a qualitative descriptive study using one-on-one semi-structured interviews with youth and family members to understand their conceptualization of meaningful engagement in health research.

RESULTS

The project will be carried out with funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).

CONCLUSIONS

The findings from this project will be foundational to the development of a youth- and family-specific engagement in research framework called the UNITE framework, and a subsequent validated measure.
MBCT-Game: An Ironic Way to Treat Internet Gaming Disorder (Preprint)
Authors: Kim Jaehyun , Oh Hayoung , YOON ANDERSON SUNGMIN
Published: August 2024

UNSTRUCTURED

Internet Gaming Disorder affects 3% of the population, and with technological advancements, more individuals are at risk of developing this condition. However, there is currently no clear treatment available. Internet Gaming Disorder is not a primary disease but rather a result of "self-prescription" in response to emotional stressors. Therefore, unlike traditional mental health treatments that focus on the disorder itself, it is essential to provide alternative activities that can alleviate negative emotions. This paper introduces Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy-Game (MBCT-Game) as an alternative activity. MBCT-G is a program designed to explore alternative activities through gaming, focusing on the reaction and reward processes, areas that traditional treatments have not emphasized. This paper serves as the first theoretical foundation for the development of MBCT-G.
Conclusions: MBCT-G is necessary as a method to provide alternative emotional relief strategies for treating self-prescription disorders such as Internet Gaming Disorder.

The Roles of Psychosocial Factors and Nutritional Intervention on Eating Disorders
Authors: Tatlı Çilenay , Türker Perim
Published: August 2024

With a multifaceted and intricate etiology, eating disorders are classified as mental diseases. The etiology of eating disorders includes sociocultural factors such as family and childhood experiences, societal and cultural pressures, imposition of media standards, as well as psychological factors such as low self-esteem and body dissatisfaction, stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and perfectionism. To provide a nutritional intervention that includes the normalization of eating behavior, it is necessary to understand the psychosocial aspects underlying the illness of individuals with eating disorders. Because a dietitian may be the first person to recognize the symptoms of an individual's eating disorder, which is a psychiatric disorder, or the first healthcare professional to whom a patient applies for this condition, and dietitians are a critical member of the treatment team of these patients. During the planning of nutritional intervention; practices such as defining nutritional problems related to medical or physical condition, evaluating anthropometric measurements and biochemical data, examining behavioral and environmental factors, calculating energy and macronutrient requirements, increasing the amount and variety of foods consumed, and giving recommendations regarding the normal perception of hunger and satiety constitute the basic processes of nutrition intervention planned in line with appropriate weight restoration and health goals. In this process, providing psychosocial support and positive reinforcement by considering the changing needs of the individual may help to increase their commitment to the process. Being in constant cooperation and communication with the healthcare professionals involved in the treatment and the family of the individual during the treatment period constitutes an integral part of a well-managed treatment process. In this respect, the health professionals in the treatment team informing the other members of the team by considering the etiological factors of the eating disorder and providing a joint decision-making environment makes a great contribution to the treatment process.

Published: August 2024

This paper describes the analysis of the thermal decomposition of polymeric nickel (II) oxalate complex, a homopolynuclear coordination compound having the formula [Ni(C2O4)(H2O)2]n?xnH2O. The thermolysis was conducted in both dynamic oxidative and inert atmospheres by simultaneously applying thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermogravimetry (DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The proposed decomposition mechanism was confirmed using evolved gas analysis (EGA) technique via the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) of the gaseous decomposition products. The solid- -state decomposition products formed during heating were investigated by chemical analysis, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The structure, morphology and properties of the final decomposition products were characterized by XRD, FTIR, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). These analyses show that the final decomposition product in oxidative atmosphere was nickel oxide, shaped as polygonal particles with widely distributed sizes. As for the results in inert atmosphere, they outlined a mixture of Ni and NiO as rhombohedral particles in a 3:2 mole ratio.

Published: August 2024

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanosized structures were synthesized successfully using a benign method. The latter can be achieved by introducing sesame seed extract into the formation process of ZnO nanostructures as a reducing agent, converting zinc ions to Zn. The structural and optical properties of the prepared ZnO particles were studied using many techniques such as UV?Vis spectrophotometry, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The estimated band gap energy of ZnO nanoparticles formed in the presence and absence of extract was found to be 3.94 and 3.88 eV, respectively, suggesting the effect of quantum confinement. The prepared particles have a flower-like shape with the appearance of small spherical particles. A Tauc plot was utilized to estimate the band gap energy of ZnO nanoparticles. The findings show that ZnO nanoparticles display bactericidal properties against Staphylococcus hominins, which are Gram-positive bacteria, and also on Gram-negative bacteria such as Proteus mirabilis, E. coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumonia.

Anacyclus valentinus is a Saharan plant belonging to the Asteraceae family.
This study identified and determined the structure of isolated compounds
obtained from crude extract of A. valentinus. Their cytotoxic effects on two
human cancer cell lines were examined. The extract of the aerial part of A.
valentinus was fractioned by Solid Phase Extraction (SPE). The fractions
obtained were analyzed by (NMR) spectroscopy and HPLC-DAD-MS. This is the
first cytotoxic investigation of A. valentinus. The extracts of the plant
were prepared, and their cytotoxic effects on two human cancer cell lines
(A549, human lung adenocarcinoma; HepG2, hepatocellular carcinoma) were
examined using the MTT assay. Several compounds have been identified. The
results illustrated two newly identified compounds: chlorogenic acid and the
?- glucosides derivative. In addition, C-glycosides (2 isomers of apigenin)
were detected in the genus Anacyclus. The IC50 values of crude extracts of
the aerial parts of A. valentinus against the A549 cell line were determined
as 19.79 ?g/mL. The values for the HepG2 cell line were 32.63 ?g/mL.
Chlorogenic acid was showed the highest cytotoxic activities on the A549 and
HepG2 cell lines with IC50 values of 13.59 and 12.84 ?g/mL, respectively.
A computational study of the potential bioactivity of hibiscus and garcinia acids against SARS-COV-2
Authors: López-Orozco Wendolyne , Mendoza-Huizar Luis , Álvarez-Romero Giaan , Torres-Valencia de
Published: August 2024

A computational chemical study was conducted on the diastereoisomers of
hibiscus acid (HA) and garcinia acid (GA), investigating their docking
capabilities with the main protease (6LU7) of SARS-CoV-2. Electrostatic
potential mappings unveiled negative charges associated with the carboxyl
and hydroxyl groups positioned at C-2 and C-3 for both hibiscus and garcinia
acids. However, the presence of more negative potentials around C-2 and C-3
of hibiscus acid, compared to garcinia acid, suggests that substituents in
the (2S,3R) configuration possess a stronger electron-attracting capacity
than those in the (2S,3S) configuration. Molecular docking studies indicated
that both hibiscus acid and garcinia acid bind to the main protease through
the catalytic pocket. Nonetheless, molecular dynamics simulations revealed
that only HA remained bound to the active site for 100 ns with an RMSD of
less than 1 ?, whereas GA dissociated from the complex within the initial 16
ns. These findings illuminate the differential binding behaviors of the two
compounds, with implications for potential therapeutic interventions against
SARS-CoV-2. These findings shed light on the differential binding behaviors
of the two compounds, holding implications for potential therapeutic
interventions against SARS-CoV-2.
Intraoperative fluoroscopy skills in distal radius fracture surgery: valid and reliable assessment on a novel immersive virtual reality simulator
Authors: Sønderup Marie , Gustafsson Amandus , Konge Lars , Jacobsen Mads Emil
Published: August 2024

Background and purpose: Orthopedic trainees must be able to perform intraoperative fluoroscopy imaging to assess the surgical result after volar locking plate surgeries of distal radius fractures. Guided by Messick’s contemporary validity framework, the aim of our study was to gather evidence of validity for a test of proficiency for intraoperative imaging of a distal radius fracture using a novel immersive virtual reality simulator.Methods: 11 novices and 9 experienced surgeons employed at orthopedic departments completed 2 individual simulator sessions. At each session the participants performed 3 repetitions of an intraoperative fluoroscopic control of a distal radius fracture, consisting of 5 different fluoroscopic views. Several performance metrics were automatically recorded by the simulator and compared between the 2 groups.Results: Simulator metrics for 3 of the 5 fluoroscopic views could discriminate between novices and experienced surgeons. An estimated composite score based on these 3 views showed good test–retest reliability, ICC = 0.82 (confidence interval 0.65–0.92; P < 0.001). A discriminatory standard was set at a composite score of 6.15 points resulting in 1 false positive (i.e., novice scoring better than the standard), and 1 false negative (i.e., experienced surgeon scoring worse than the standard).Conclusion: This study provided validity evidence from all 5 sources of Messick’s contemporary validity framework (content, response process, internal structure, relationship with other variables, and consequences) for a simulation-based test of proficiency in intraoperative fluoroscopic control of a distal radius fracture fixated by a volar locking plate.
AI-Enabled Algorithm for Evaluating the Impact of COVID -19 on Food Consumption and Nutrition

Food is a fundamental human necessity. We need enough nutrition from the diet to carry out our tasks. The biochemical and physiological process known as nutrition describes how an organism uses food to turn it into energy. One of the primary nutrients, carbohydrates keep bodily cells' levels of energy stable. Malnutrition is a severe issue for public health since it has detrimental long-term effects. Adults over 65 years old's nutritional status is influenced by both psychological changes and physiologic factors. The blood glucose level is directly regulated by carbohydrates, which also lowers the chance of developing chronic diseases. Fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, seeds, and nuts are all part of a healthy diet, which also includes fewer animal products, especially fatty and processed meats. In this study, we will determine how much nutrition we consume from food, the impacts that result when that level is over normal, the repercussions of undernutrition, and the precise information regarding carbohydrates. An AI-enabled Recapitulated Neuro Fuzzy Optimization algorithm is applied for evaluating the nutritious food intake of men and women during Covid-19 situation.
