Authors: Nguyen Duy Khanh  , Nguyen Manh Hung  , Dao Ba Khoa  , Tieu Tu Man
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Cirrhosis is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and also a substantial economic burden for patients, healthcare system and society. However, research concentrating on cost of cirrhosis treatment in Vietnam are limited. The aim of this study was to estimate the inpatient treatment costs of liver cirrhosis and influencing factors on costs in Vietnam. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study has been conducted based on retrospective data of all cirrhosis patient's records in 2015 from two hospitals (HCMC Tropical Hospital and Bach Mai Hospital), satisfied inclusion and exclusion criteria. Descriptive and correlation analysis were performed with relevant statistical test (T-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation) and 95% confidence level. Results: The median cost of treatment per session was 6,064,104 VND (3,246,810 VND – 11,195,492 VND); the drug cost has the highest median value with 3,040,395 VND (843,309 VND – 6,411,334 VND). In the structure of treatment cost, health insurance covered the most and the drug costs accounted for highest proportion with the median value of 3,642,446 VND (1,805,001 VND – 7,326,606 VND). The median values of health insurance rates are comparable. The related factors on costs of treatment included the place of residence, the number of days in hospital, the stage and the complications of cirrhosis. A multiple regression model to forecast treatment cost has been built with R-square=0.460, p=0.000; following which the number of days in hospital is the strongest factor on treatment cost (β=0.31, p=0.000); followed by the Northern living place (β=0.131, p=0.000) and the stage of disease (β=0.038, p=0.000). Discussions: We only assess the treatment cost for cirrhosis but do not evaluate the expense for the whole process including many different treatment courses yet. Secondly, this study does not evaluate the outpatient treatment costs. Furthermore, the multiple regression model can only explain 46.0% of the change of converted cost with 03 factors: the number of days using sick-bed, the Northern area and the disease stage. Conclusions: With the rising trend of liver cirrhosis in Vietnam and the high cost of treatment, national health policies and medical programs should be considered.
Economic value of subcutaneous versus intravenous trastuzumab administration in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer: A systematic review
Authors: Tran Thi My Duyen  , Nguyen Vu Lan Chi  , Pham Tri Dung  , Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Trastuzumab is the standard therapy for HER-positive breast cancer, traditionally administered intravenously (T-IV). The subcutaneous trastuzumab (T-SC), introduced in 2013, may may offer cost savings compared to T-IV. While previous studies have examined the economic value of T-SC, no quality assessment of these studies or a currency-standardized comparison across countries has been conducted. This study aimed to address these gaps by systematically reviewing and assessing the quality of economic evaluations comparing T-SC and T-IV. Methods: A systematic review of publications until May 31, 2021, was performed using databases like MEDLINE, Cochrane, and ScienceDirect, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) statement. The quality of studies was assessed using the Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards (CHEERS) checklist. All costs were adjusted to 2019 Euro using World Bank's consumer price index (CPI). Results: There were 14 out of 368 studies included in this systematic review. Most studies were conducted from a hospital perspective, showing cost savings of T-SC ranging from €52.6 to €29,617.3 per patient annually. Quality assessments based on the CHEERS checklist revealed that the number of compliant sections or items in the studies ranged from 11 to 19 out of 24. Conclusion: This systematic review demonstrated that T-SC might offer cost savings compared to T-IV in treating HER2-positive breast cancer. However, the limited number of studies and their methodological heterogeneity highlight the need for further comprehensive research to inform decision-makers on trastuzumab use.
Cost-effectiveness of metformin in the prevention of Type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review
Authors: Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy  , To Hue Nghi  , Tran Ngoc Thien Thanh  , Huynh Hai Duong  , Nguyen Cao Duc Huy
Published: December 2024

Background and aims: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common metabolic disorder with serious complications. Prediabetes treatment with metformin or lifestyle changes has been shown to delay the progression of prediabetes to T2DM, thus alleviating the overall economic burden associated with T2DM. This systematic review was conducted to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of metformin in the treatment of prediabetes. Methods and results: A PRISMA-guided systematic review was performed on databases: Pubmed, Cochrane, and Embase with appropriate keywords and phrases. CHEERS checklist was used to evaluate the studies' quality. Research characteristics and outcomes were examined, and Incremental cost-effective ratio (ICER) was converted to the USD 2020. With 402 articles identified through the search strategies, 16 articles that met the selection criteria were included for analysis in this review. All articles were deemed to be of relatively good quality according to CHEERS checklist. These analyses were conducted in developed countries from different perspectives and time frames. One of 16 studies revealed metformin as cost-saving compared to placebo, while the remaining studies reported metformin to be cost-effective compared to placebo, no intervention, or standard care, with ICERs below the willingness-to-pay threshold (ranging from $457/QALY to $164,621/QALY). However, conclusions regarding the cost-effectiveness of metformin versus lifestyle changes varied depending on different perspectives and program intensity. Conclusion: Metformin was dominant or cost-effective compared to placebo and no interventions in the treatment of prediabetes. However, the question about cost-effectiveness of metformin versus lifestyle change remained a subject of controversy among the studies. Further investigation into the cost-effectiveness of metformin compared to lifestyle change was recommended, particularly in developing countries where there is a high prevalence rate and limited healthcare resources.

Authors: Rukmayuninda Ririh , Anggraeni Elisa , Machfud Machfud , Taufiqu Rochman
Published: December 2024

Maintaining innovation process during merger in a merged public research organization is quite a challenge. Knowledge vacuum is a potential rising issue due to merger. This study aims to examine knowledge vacuum as intervening role between organizational factors and individual factor, also how it impacts the innovation process. PLS-SEM is applied by using software SmartPLS 4.0, and 198 innovation actors are involving in questionnaires survey. Surprisingly, the results show that knowledge vacuum positively and significantly influences absorptive and adaptive capability to form distinctive competencies. It shows that missing knowledge flows among high-performer actors, such as innovators, will enhance competencies during chaotic event due to merger. In addition, distinctive competencies have a significant positive influence to innovation process. On the other hand, knowledge vacuum is not having a direct relationship to distinctive competencies. Resource and infrastructure management has a contribution to positively forming knowledge vacuum during merger to create strong absorptive and adaptive capability and curve prominent distinctive competencies, which eventually will positively impact the innovation process.

Adaptation of Modern Housing Heritage: A Review through Cultural Significance
Authors: Özmen Ayça
Published: December 2024

Focusing on the modern housing heritage, one of the most numerous typologies of twentieth-century architecture at risk of demolition, this study aims to identify the thresholds of change and continuity of different adaptation strategies, from conservation to transformation, through good practices of this typology. Three case studies from Western Europe, representing two turning points in modern housing architecture, are grouped according to the hierarchy of cultural significance. Accordingly, Unité d'Habitation Marseille with global significance, La Tour Bois-le-Prêtre with local significance and Wallisblok with socio-cultural significance are analysed through literature review and on-site observations. The results show that each case prioritises different forms of values, such as architectural value, social value and economic value, respectively, and that change gradually increases as the hierarchy of cultural significance decreases.

Published: December 2024

O propósito deste trabalho é fazer um estudo inicial sobre os novos métodos de avaliação dos erros cíclicos em Máquinas de Medir a Três Coordenadas (MM3Cs). Para atingir este objetivo, foi realizado um procedimento de medição de erros cíclicos e aplicação de Análise de Fourier. A medição da distância entre as linhas consecutivas da régua móvel da MM3C também foi realizada e os resultados comprovaram a existência dos erros de fabricação e sugeriram erros de subdivisão eletrônica. A determinação do período cíclico possibilita que seja realizada uma estratégia para minimização da interferência cíclica no levantamento dos erros de posição. A análise dos dados confirmou a existência de um período cíclico de quatro milímetros. Assim, uma comparação com os erros de posição sem estratégia e com estratégia foi feita e os resultados mostraram que o desvio padrão diminui em aproximadamente sessenta e cinco porcento.

Published: December 2024

This study examined the competencies and capabilities of teachers who are non-majors in Chemistry after attending the Certificate Program of two terms which ran for 6 weeks for each term. The course content covered among others the least learned content topics and processes based on the results of the 2005 National Achievement Test. The delivery of the course was an integration of content, strategies, and assessment. The use, care, and improvisation of equipment and learning support materials were included. Specifically, this study explored the capabilities of teacher participants in terms of increased content knowledge, enhanced competence in teaching, and assessment of learning, and continued professional enhancement. The participants-respondents of the study were trained chemistry teachers, their immediate supervisors, and their students. Findings of the study showed that teachers gained significantly in terms of content knowledge from the training. The content knowledge was, to a great extent, retained by the teacher participants as they actually conduct research investigatory projects, and hands-on laboratory activities in their classes. Further, the participants showed improved classroom management skills, teaching, and assessment skills. Results also revealed that trained teachers enhanced their ability in conducting laboratory activities using improvised materials and equipment. They were also able to assess student learning by using a variety of ways and were able to evaluate students' performance through authentic means. Implications of this study are discussed with respect to areas or competencies that need to be developed further among chemistry teachers in the local and national contexts of educational reforms.
Determination and Management of Nutrient-Deficient Irrigated Lowland Rice Soils
Authors: Calabio Jenny , Lopez Crisanto , Albacete Ma. Luisa
Published: December 2024

The minus-one element technique or test (MOET) in assessing nutrient deficiency in lowland rice was used in the study. Based on the result of this test, the farmer's actual fertilizer management practice was compared with the research-based participative fertilizer management recommendation. Two farmers' fields were used as the test sites during the 2001-2002 dry and wet seasons. Nitrogen was deficient in both sites while phosphorus was only deficient in Pototan site based on the results of the MOET. In the dry season, the participative fertilizer management recommendation increased yield by 0.4 t/ha in Barotac Nuevo and by 1.6 t/ha in Pototan site over the farmer's actual fertilizer management practice with minimal or without additional fertilizer cost to the farmers. In the wet season, the participative fertilizer management was comparable to the farmer's practice in Barotac Nuevo but was inferior in Pototan site. However, the farmer in Barotac Nuevo saved P670.00/ha with the participative fertilizer management. The minus-one element test of determining nutrient-deficiency is a practical tool that can be used by Filipino rice farmers and extension workers in the absence of soil analysis. This technology, together with the research-based fertilizer management recommendation, must be immediately disseminated to the rice farmers, particularly during the dry season where the greatest opportunity exists to increase rice yields.
La ética comunitaria y su coexistencia con otras éticas en una actividad de formación inicial de profesores de matemáticas
Authors: Gutiérrez-Araujo Rafael Enrique , Prieto-González Juan Luis , Lasprilla-Herrera Adriana
Published: December 2024

En la perspectiva de la teoría de la objetivación, las formas en que estudiantes y profesores se relacionan en el aula de matemáticas reafirman la condición ontológica de su existencia. Cuando estas relaciones expresan un fuerte compromiso de los individuos hacia el trabajo colectivo para alcanzar el aprendizaje, la actividad muestra rasgos de una ética comunitaria en movimiento. Sin embargo, esta ética parece coexistir dialécticamente con otras éticas en el acto de conocer. En este artículo intentamos responder a la pregunta: ¿Cómo futuros profesores y el formador encarnan éticas distintas y lidian con la coexistencia de estas éticas en una actividad de formación inicial que busca promover una ética comunitaria? Para ello, analizamos un episodio que describe las formas de relación con el otro entre cuatro futuros profesores de matemáticas y el formador, mientras ellos discuten una tarea centrada en el aprendizaje de la equivalencia y orden de fracciones. Mediante un análisis dialéctico-materialista, revelamos algunos rasgos contradictorios de una relación de compromiso con la actividad que nos permitieron identificar rasgos de las éticas de obediencia, cerrada y comunitaria. En la actividad, la ética comunitaria fue encarnada por los participantes tras lidiar con otras éticas que le ofrecían resistencia. Destacamos, por un lado, que un mismo estudiante puede encarnar éticas distintas en una misma actividad, según los vínculos que éste establece con los demás y, por otro lado, que las éticas encarnadas en la actividad están fuertemente entrelazadas con los contextos sociales, históricos y culturales de los participantes.

Dysmenorrhea is pain in the lower abdomen that occurs before or during menstruation, often accompanied by symptoms such as sweating, headache, nausea, vomiting, and shaking. The negative impacts of primary dysmenorrhea in teenagers are academic decline, loss of concentration, and not attending class. One of the causes of dysmenorrhea is lack of knowledge about the cause of menstrual disorders such as unbalanced nutritional intake. The solution to increase this knowledge is by providing nutrition education about balanced diet and nutrition. All community partnership program activities consisting of counseling, discussion, and evaluation which are conducted online. The measurement of success was carried out by distributing a pre-posttest questionnaire about knowledge of balanced diet and nutrition using the google form.

Serum uric acid (SUA) is the end product of purine metabolism in humans. When the body makes too much uric acid and the kidneys don't get rid of it quickly enough, this is called hyperuricemia. This leads to gouty arthritis because monosodium urate crystals build up in the joints. Normal SUA levels are 3.5–7.0 mg/dL in men and 2.6–6.0 mg/dL in women, influenced by diet, genetics, kidney function and medications. The prevalence of hyperuricemia is increasing globally, both in developed and developing countries. Although often asymptomatic, elevated SUA can cause tissue damage and increase the risk of hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Action) method for early detection of hyperuricemia in the elderly at Hana Nursing Home, South Tangerang. Blood test results revealed hyperuricemia in 16 people (26.23%). Routine SUA screening helps identify individuals at risk and allows for preventive measures such as dietary changes and regular exercise.

Hair is an important aspect of a person's appearance. Hair in the elderly experiences a decline in quality which is often characterized by thinning, brittleness and loss. Vitamin D plays an important role in this condition because it affects the growth cycle of hair follicles. A deficiency can cause hair to become brittle and fall out easily. In this community service activity, education is provided to explain the importance of vitamin D and how to get it through a healthy diet and lifestyle. Screening using a hair analyzer shows problems with hair loss and low hair density as well as lots of dead skin cells. Effective education and nutritional interventions, including vitamin D supplementation, are essential to improve hair health and ultimately the quality of life of elderly. Treating vitamin D deficiency, including hair and scalp care, must be an integral part of the elderly's health program.

Ujungalang Village is a lagoon island located in Segara Anakan. Because of this geographical condition, Ujungalang Village has different types of plants from those on the mainland. One of the plants that grow in Ujungalang Village is the Nipah tree. In Ujungalang Village, especially Motean Hamlet, nipah sales are limited to dried nipah without any processing. The processing of nipah sticks is not maximized, making the selling price of nipah sticks low. Therefore, training activities on nipah stick weaving were carried out as an effort to improve the economy and productivity of PKK women in Motean Hamlet, Ujungalang Village. The service activities consisted of the preparation stage and the practice stage.

A Child Identity Card (KIA) is a document that describes a child's official identity as proof of a child aged 0-17 years and unmarried, issued by the District/City Population and Civil Registration Service in Banten Province. Meanwhile, the type of research used is a descriptive method with qualitative analysis, namely a type of research through problem-solving procedures which are investigated by describing, depicting the current situation surrounding the research object based on facts. Based on the results of this research, it is known that Pasuluhan sub-district residents who have children do not yet know and issue Child Identity Cards (KIA) at the Serang City Population and Civil Registry Service. So, it can be seen that the population of Pasuluhan sub-district who know and have KIA is still low. This is because there are still many people who consider Child Identity Cards to be unimportant, and think that it is sufficient to use a birth certificate as identity, when issuing child identity cards in accordance with Minister of Home Affairs Regulations. State Number 2 of 2016 as well as conducting outreach on the importance of KIA to the community, especially to posyandu cadres and schools in rural areas so that people understand the importance of children's identity cards, then human resources are emphasized more in implementing this policy to provide services to the people of Serang City and increasing supervision of Child Identity Card issuance services. Better socialization is considered important to increase public understanding of the benefits and procedures for making KIA. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the KIA program continue to be improved and perfected so that it is more efficient and provides greater benefits for the community.

Sumerta Kaja Traditional Village is one of the traditional villages in Bali which has quite large tourism potential. The beauty of traditional Balinese spa culture is one of the main attractions for tourists visiting this area. However, in this traditional village there is a group of PKK women who have limited knowledge and skills to develop independent economic businesses. Therefore, spa training for the Sumerta Kaja Traditional Village youth organization is important in order to improve their economic quality. This village has significant tourism potential, but the youth organizations in this traditional village are still unable to utilize this potential optimally. They have limited knowledge and skills in the spa sector, making it difficult for them to be involved in developing the tourism sector in their traditional villages. Apart from that, youth organizations are also a group that has an important role in the family and society. Through spa training, they can be economically empowered and have the opportunity to earn additional income. This will give them pride and increase their role and self-confidence in society.
