A meta de qualidade nos diferentes serviços oferecidos à sociedade tem sido cada vez mais reconhecida, com consequente otimização de resultado. No âmbito da saúde, instituições hospitalares têm incorporado tal perspectiva com o objetivo de oferecer assistência de excelência, diminuir custos e garantir a satisfação da clientela, em qualquer nível de atendimento. O estudo teve como objetivo identificar as respostas institucionais diante da ocorrência de eventos adversos em Unidades de Terapia Intensivas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória-descritiva, com abordagem quantitativa. Realizado no setor de Unidade Terapia Intensiva adulta, pediátrica e neonatal do Hospital Regional Norte (HRN). A coleta de informes para análise foi obtida através de um questionário e posteriormente de um checklist, com vinte afirmativas, onde foi descrito o posicionamento dos profissionais acerca da atuação da gestão. A pesquisa teve como resultado que 45,9% dos participantes cometeram algum erro, ou seja, os erros estão presentes e irão acontecer. A pesquisa mostrou também que quando esse erro acontece o profissional de saúde tem como sentimento imediato, vergonha e temor pelo paciente. No entanto, a pesquisa mostrou que os profissionais de saúde da presente instituição se comportaram de forma resiliente, mudando a sua prática assistencial e aprendendo de forma positiva com o erro. Em se tratando de notificação, obteve-se o resultado de 29,5% que não realizaram a notificação após a ocorrência do erro. Durante a aplicação da pesquisa foi relatado por alguns participantes que, para alguns profissionais a Segurança do Paciente e comunicação efetiva, ainda segue-se uma cultura errônea deste processo, acreditando que se trata de um instrumento com objetivo de amparar única e exclusivamente ao paciente envolvido no cuidado, quando na verdade sua finalidade é facilitar a assistência prestada nos serviços de saúde, em virtude de melhorar as informações entre profissionais evitando a ocorrência de erros.

Ankle soprai is a common injury, especially in sports such as volleyball, characterized by the twisting of the ligaments of the joint, usually caused by an inversion, which occurs during impact movements with the ground, such as jumps and sudden changes of direction. This type of injury affects both athletes with a history of sprains and those without previous injuries. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of different physical therapy approaches, such as proprioceptive exercises, strengthening training, manual therapy, warm-up programs, and the use of bandages, in the prevention and rehabilitation of ankle sprains in volleyball athletes. This is an integrative review, using the PICO strategy (P: Population – Women volleyball athletes; I: Interest – Physiotherapeutic conducts; Co: Context – Treatment and prevention of ankle sprains), with the guiding question: "Are physiotherapeutic interventions effective in the treatment and prevention of ankle sprains in women who practice volleyball?". The search was carried out in the PUBMED, LILACS, PEDro, SciELO, and Web of Science databases, considering articles published between 2013 and 2024. Eight articles were identified with the descriptors "women", "volleyball", "ankle" and "physiotherapy". The results indicate that proprioceptive exercises, strengthening training, manual therapy, aquatic rehabilitation, warm-up programs and the use of functional elastic bandages, when applied properly, promote greater joint stability and reduce injury recurrence. It is concluded that these techniques, especially proprioceptive training, muscle strengthening, aquatic rehabilitation and the use of bandages, are effective, improving stability, balance and proprioception, in addition to accelerating the return of athletes to physical activities.

Introduction: Dental caries is a multifactorial disease caused by bacteria in the oral microbiota. Thus, we can define it as a localized destruction of the tooth, resulting from the demineralization of the hard tissues that compose it. Changes in dietary patterns during pregnancy make pregnant women more prone to the development of carious lesions. The literature points out that dental caries can result in complications that can influence the outcome of pregnancy. Objective: The present study aimed to review the current literature regarding adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with the presence of dental caries in pregnant women. Methodology: This is a literature review carried out through an electronic search in the PubMed, Periódicos CAPES, SciELO, and Google Scholar databases, and in the VHL library, through the descriptors “pregnancy” and “dental caries”. Of the analyzed articles, 6 were eligible. Results: Among the studies included in the sample, no significant association was reported between dental caries during the gestational period and premature birth, and pre-eclampsia. A prospective cohort study reported a positive association between dental caries and the risk of delivering large-for-gestational-age babies. The studies were unanimous in reporting the non-association between the presence of dental caries in pregnant women and adverse pregnancy outcomes such as premature birth and preeclampsia. However, the evidence in the literature is still scarce. Conclusions: It is necessary to carry out studies that seek to evaluate the role of dental caries in adverse pregnancy outcomes, especially related to the delivery of large-for-gestational-age babies.

The objective was to understand the statements made at the time of vaccination in various socioeconomic categories in Brazil (A, B, C, D and E) from July 1, 2018 to December 22, 2022. The research was exploratory, descriptive, with a qualitative approach based on Michel Foucault's Theory, which emphasizes "what we are at this very moment", focusing on transformative experiences of thinking and being, and not just a reproduction of reality. The reaction after being vaccinated expressed, for the most part, the word IRONY in allusion to vaccines. Other feelings were frequent, such as NEGLIGENCE, PAIN, FEAR and, to a lesser extent, the words CONFORMISM and EXCUSE. The expressions mainly reflected uncertainty about the effectiveness of vaccines, the lack of correct information about how they work in the human body and influenced by the negligence of those vaccinated. A total of 421 interviews were collected at various vaccination events, with 60.3% being male and 39.7% female. In socioeconomic class A, 20.2% were collected, with male representation at 55.3%; in socioeconomic group B, 23.7% were collected, with male representation at 50%; however, in group C, with 14.7% of the total number of interviewees, female representation was 41.9%; in group D, 22.1% were collected, with 69.9% male; and in group E, 19.2% were collected, with 40.7% female. The word IRONY resided in the fact that, despite scientific advances and clear evidence that vaccines save lives, a significant part of the population was carried away by sentimentality and astonishment generated by rumors and historical myths. Confronting negativity and misinformation about the facts shows a greater acceptance of the vaccination process among the population. The word IRONY has become a point of reflection on how society reacts in times of crisis as an escape from a legal imposition.

Authors: Pulungan Sila H. , Soponyono Eko , Purnomo Sugeng
Published: October 2024

This study examines the issue of prison overcrowding in Indonesia, with a particular focus on the impact of current penal policies related to drug-related offenses. The over-reliance on incarceration, especially for minor drug crimes, is identified as a significant contributor to the overcrowding crisis in correctional institutions. Despite legal provisions for rehabilitation as an alternative to imprisonment, inconsistent implementation has hindered efforts to address the root causes of drug-related crimes. The study advocates for a comprehensive reform of Indonesia’s penal system, emphasizing the need to shift from a punitive approach to one centered on rehabilitation and restorative justice. Such reforms are essential not only to alleviate overcrowding but also to ensure the humane treatment of individuals with substance use disorders, in line with international human rights standards. The study concludes with recommendations for enhancing the application of rehabilitation, increasing public awareness, and improving the monitoring of rehabilitation programs to foster a more equitable and effective criminal justice system.

Authors: Son Somnang , Ung Poliny
Published: October 2024

The study of students' perceptions of learning English is most interesting to researchers, especially in the context of lower-secondary school students. The purpose of the study was to understand the level of students' perception of learning English, to compare the level of students' perception of learning English between students studying in schools in provincial towns and rural areas, and to understand the main factors influencing students' perception of learning English. The study used a sample of 380 students studying at the lower-secondary level in two public schools in Banteay Meanchey province. Samples were selected using a multi-stage sampling method. This research is a quantitative study using the correlational approach. The data collection instrument is a questionnaire in the form of a five-level Likert scale. Data analysis used frequency analysis, percentage analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS v26 software. The results showed that students in public lower-secondary schools had a high level of positive perception of learning English. The comparison of the perception of learning English showed that the lower-secondary school students in the provincial town had a higher score in the perception of learning English than the students who studied at lower-secondary schools in rural areas. However, the students had the same high level of perception when learning English. The main factors influencing English language learning perception included students’ personal will, family factors, and teacher factors, with standardized coefficients of 0.298, 0.147, and 0.196, respectively. In conclusion, students have a high perception of learning English, whether students in rural or urban areas. Family factors, teacher factors, and students’ personal will be able to explain 29.60% of the variance in their perception of English learning. Learning English is very important for students studying at the lower-secondary level, and to promote students' perception of learning English, the school management team and parents should pay attention, as important as, to family factors, teacher factors, and students’ personal will.

Medidas baseadas na via de Transmissão

Com base nas informações actualmente disponíveis, julga-se que a via de transmissão de pessoa a pessoa do novo coronavírus (SARS-CoV-2) ocorre por meio de gotículas respiratórias, expelidas durante a fala, tosse ou espirro, as quais podem ser inaladas ou pousar na boca, nariz ou olhos de pessoas que estão próximas. O contacto das mãos com uma superfície ou objecto contaminado com SARS-CoV-2 e, em seguida, o contacto com boca, nariz ou olhos, pode conduzir igualmente à transmissão da infecção. O SARS-CoV-2 pode transmitir-se por:
Gotículas respiratórias (partículas superiores a 5 micra);
Contacto directo com secreções respiratórias infecciosa, com fezes ou com superfícies contaminadas por estas;
Via aérea (partículas inferiores a 5 micra), aquando de procedimentos geradores de aerossóis. A via de transmissão aérea tem sido valorizada recentemente, em ambientes fechados, independentemente dos procedimentos.
Previdência Social e Saúde do Trabalhador: Caminhos que se cruzam?
Authors: Monteiro Claudia Lima
Published: October 2024

In Brazil, the Social Security System is composed of the tripod Health, Social Security and Social Assistance. Specifically in the area of Occupational Health, it is considered crucial to establish integrated actions between Health and Social Security. However, it is important to highlight the differentiation between these two areas in relation to their direction, as Social Security establishes the scope of assistance to formal contributory workers.  Thus, it is possible to inquire about the (un)protection of workers in the Brazilian social security system. Thus, the article aims to identify studies on Workers' Health in the area of Social Security, through a systematic review. The review was carried out on the scielo website, on April 16, 2024, and 15 articles were selected. 04 axes of analysis were identified, namely: databases of occupational accidents (WAs); Work-Related Illnesses and Social Security Benefits; Vocational Rehabilitation and Intersectoriality between Health and Social Security Policies. Unfortunately, the articles identified the distancing between the principles and norms between the areas of health and social security, to the detriment of workers' health and access to social and social security rights.

The Effect of Bovine Colostrum Supplementation in the Management of Respiratory Allergies in Children According to Allergen Sensitization
Authors: Oloroso-Chavez, Kathleen , Gozalez-Andaya Pilar Agnes , Wong-Chuah Cecil
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Bovine colostrum supplementation has been shown to significantly reduce nasal allergy symptoms and improve lung function compared with placebo. The authors present a subgroup analysis to determine its effect on the management of respiratory allergies in monosensitized versus polysensitized children.
Methodology: The randomized controlled trial was conducted on children aged 7 to 18 years with respiratory allergies who were randomly assigned to receive bovine colostrum 1000 mg (n=19) or placebo (n=19) daily for three months. Total nasal symptoms score (TNSS), asthma control test (ACT), composite asthma severity index (CASI), and pulmonary function test were used to assess symptom improvement for six months. Subgroup analysis was done, and children were categorized into monosensitized and polysensitized groups.
Results: The subset of monosensitized patients in the bovine colostrum group showed significant improvement in nasal congestion (p=0.004). For both ACT and CASI scores, significant improvements from beginning to end were demonstrated in the scores of polysensitized children who were given bovine colostrum (p = 0.011 and p = 0.018, respectively). Improvement in lung function test was significantly observed in monosensitized patients given bovine colostrum supplement at the first month (FEV1), second month (FEF25-75 and PEF), and third month (all parameters except FVC) of assessment. In the polysensitized subgroup, only FEV1/FVC ratios at baseline and week two were found significantly improved in the bovine colostrum group (n = 9) than in the placebo group (n = 11).
Conclusion: Sensitization can affect an individual’s response to bovine colostrum supplementation. Bovine colostrum supplementation significantly improved nasal congestion in monosensitized patients with respiratory allergies. The ACT and CASI scores significantly improved in polysensitized patients. Lung function response was more visible in monosensitized patients.
President's Message
Authors: Salvador-Tayag Felicia Racquel
Published: October 2024

It is with great honor and pleasure to present the online Philippine Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (PJAAI). This issue has undergone birth pains, and now that it is finally out, let us look back on how this journal began.
In 1994, the first issue of the Philippine Journal of Allergy and Immunology (PJAI) was published by then president Dr. Alendry P. Caviles with Dr. Benigno F. Agbayani as the first editor-in-chief. This was the first of many steps in starting a discourse in the field of allergy and immunology.
In 1998, the name PJAI was changed to PJAAI to coincide with the change in the society’s name from Philippine Society of Allergy and Immunology (PSAI) to Philippine Society of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (PSAAI).
The PJAAI was published semi-annually containing scholarly researches and articles of consultants, fellows and residents on allergy and immunology. To adapt with the times, past president Dr. Marysia Stella T. Recto pushed for an online PJAAI in 2020. It took almost three years in the making as there were many challenges and hurdles, shifting from a physical medium to a virtual platform. Now that the pieces are in place, we are excited to launch this new era of PJAAI.
As a symbol of excellence and innovation, this journal champions our Society to strive for more and be at par with our international counterparts. Just as Dr. Agbayani wrote in his first editorial, we continue to recognize the relevance of this journal and the role it plays in advancing the medical field. I, therefore, congratulate the people who worked hard to allow this online journal come into fruition: Dr. Rommel Crisenio M. Lobo (President, 2021-2022), Dr. Cherie O. Cervantes (EIC, 2020-2021), Dr. Regina D. Capulong (EIC, 2021-present), Dr. Rowena Niña G. Ticzon (Assistant EIC, 2021-present), the editorial staff and all contributors. May this issue serve as an inspiration and motivation to our colleagues in pursuing evidenced-based research and articles.

The Clinical Efficacy of Vitamin D Supplementation for Allergic Rhinitis
Authors: Sogono Philip , Gonzales-Andaya Agnes
Published: October 2024

Objective: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of all controlled studies of vitamin D for treating allergic rhinitis to determine the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation to patients with allergic rhinitis.
Methodology: A systematic search was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane, CENTRAL databases, and Google Scholar for articles published in journals from 2010 to February 2023. The change from baseline in the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) was the main outcome. A random-effects model was used to pool the results of the included studies. Separate subgroup analyses were performed for studies using TNSS-12 and TNSS-15.
Results: Eight studies were included, including seven randomized controlled trials and one prospective analytical observational study. The combined sample size across all studies was 635 participants, including adults and children. Studies utilizing the TNSS-12 and TNSS-15 scales consistently demonstrated that the group receiving vitamin D supplementation had lower severity scores than the control group. The standardized mean difference (SMD) showed a statistically significant improvement in TNSS compared to the baseline, with an average SMD of 6.27 (95% CI, 3.96 to 8.59).
Conclusion: Vitamin D supplementation significantly improves nasal symptom scores of allergic rhinitis. It can be considered an adjunctive therapy in the management of allergic rhinitis. However, larger-scale studies are needed to confirm this conclusion.
Antibacterial plant combinations for better gastrointestinal health in piglets and broilers: PhD Thesis
Authors:   , Bogota Kevin Steven Jerez
Published: October 2024

Could combining plants be the key to enhancing livestock health and reducing antibiotic use? This question prompted this thesis’s research into the enhanced antibacterial properties of plant combinations to control gastrointestinal infections in piglets and chickens. In the study with organically raised piglets, combinations of garlic and fruit powders were used to mitigate pathogenic E. coli infections, effectively preventing postweaning diarrhea and promoting a healthier gut microbiome. Research on chickens examined the efficacy of combining a natural source of antibacterial fatty acids and essential oils to combat necrotic enteritis caused by pathogenic C. perfringens, reducing the disease’s impact. The PhD research project was conducted as part of MonoGutHealth, a training network funded by the European Commission (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions).
Beyond graft function impairment after liver transplantation: the prolonged cold ischemia time impact on recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation—a single-center retrospective study

Published: October 2024

Purpose

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the malignant tumors responsible for high mortality and recurrence rates. Although liver transplantation (LT) is an effective treatment option for HCC, ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a contributor to HCC recurrence after LT. Moreover, prolonged cold ischemia time (CIT) is a risk factor for IRI during LT, and there is insufficient clinical evidence regarding the impact of CIT on HCC recurrence after LT.

Patients and Methods

This retrospective study analyzed 420 patients who underwent LT for HCC between February 2015 and November 2020 at The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University. The duration of CIT was defined as the time from clamping of the donor aorta until portal reperfusion.

Results

A total of 133 patients (31.7%) experienced tumor recurrence after LT, and CIT > 568 min was the independent risk factor for HCC recurrence (OR, 2.406; 95% CI [1.371–4.220]; p = 0.002). Multivariate Cox’s regression analysis revealed that the recipients’ gender, exceeding Milan criteria, poor differentiation, and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) ≥400 ng/ml in CIT > 568 min group were independent risk factors for disease-free survival. The peak 7-day postoperative alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level (p < 0.001), the peak 7-day postoperative aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level (p < 0.001), the peak 7-day postoperative peak total bilirubin (TBIL) level (p = 0.012), and the incidence of early allograft dysfunction (EAD) (p = 0.006) were significantly higher in the CIT > 568 min group compared to the CIT ≤ 568 min group. Moreover, the amount of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) infusion during the operation increased (p = 0.02), and the time of mechanical ventilation postoperative was longer (p = 0.045).

Conclusion

An effective strategy to improve the prognosis is to reduce CIT; this strategy lowers the recurrence of HCC in patients undergoing LT, especially those within the Milan criteria.

Moench (quiabo), e a quitosana apresentaram 99%, 66,0% e 95,8% de eficiência de remoção de turbidez, respectivamente, demonstrando que a água tratada se enquadrou dentro dos valores máximos permitidos pela legislação brasileira para esse parâmetro. A Acacia decurrens (acácia negra) e a Moringa oleifera Lam indicaram eficiências de remoção de turbidez em torno de 80% no processo de clarificação da água. Já o Opuntia ficus-indica (cacto) apontou eficiência de 45,9% na remoção de turbidez, nas condições de operação estudadas, contudo, a etapa de filtração inserida poderia melhorar esse resultado. Assim, pode-se afirmar que todos os coagulantes avaliados apresentaram potencial, sendo considerados como uma ótima alternativa renovável e biodegradável para a tecnologia verde de tratamento de água.

A produção do cimento Portland é responsável por uma considerável emissão de gases de efeito estufa. Para reduzir estas emissões, busca-se substituir o clínquer por adições minerais, como a cinza volante. No entanto, prevê-se escassez desse material devido ao encerramento das termoelétricas. A argila calcinada surge como uma alternativa livre de emissões durante a calcinação, mas ainda não é amplamente considerada. Baseado nestes princípios, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o impacto da redução da disponibilidade de cinza volante na produção de cimento Portland no Sul do Brasil, analisando a viabilidade da argila calcinada como substituta deste material e seus impactos na indústria cimenteira. O estudo comparou diferentes cenários de uso da argila calcinada utilizando dados de projeções existentes sobre a produção de cimento, de adições minerais e crescimento populacional. Foram considerados cenários de majoração do uso da argila em 30, 40 e 50% para se adequar à situação, uma vez que atualmente não há projeções que levem em conta a extinção da cinza volante. A partir disto, os resultados indicaram desafios para a argila calcinada acompanhar a crescente demanda por cimento. No entanto, ainda foi visto que seu uso impulsiona a produção de cimento na região Sul do Brasil.

Water management is a very significant practice, as it influences the successful growth of many crops. In Nigeria, Cashew farmers use different cashew nuts and varying watering rate for their nursery operations. These necessitates this study, to enhanced cashew morphological growth and to checkmate water management. The experiment laid in 4 x 10 x 3 factorial design on a randomized complete block of three replications, examines medium, large cashew nut biotypes, and 200ml, 300ml watering rates applied fortnightly. Monthly harvest done from each treatment to monitor seedlings development. Data on vegetative characterices collected were used to calculate leafiness parameters, Leaf Area Ratio, Leaf Area, Specific Leaf Weight and Leaf weight ratio. At emergence the large biotype produced highest values (93.33%) of germination, while the least was from the medium nuts that received 200ml of water (66.7%). However, the medium cashews nut seedling greatly exploits the 200ml of water application for morphological growth. This does not exclude the fact that the results obtained from the cashew leafiness that 300ml of water was readily available for the seedling use at one month of harvest, but at later stages 2nd and 3th months of harvest, the medium biotype exhibited longer tap root system. The dynamic of the Fresh Shoot (14.72g), and Root (5.94g) weight results were positively influenced by the 200ml watering rate in large cashew seedlings, suggesting a potential adaptation for efficient water use. The large biotypes seedling having 300ml of water (3.0) application had much root hairs when compared to the medium (2.67). The study reveals that water management plays a crucial role in the growth pattern distribution of cashew seedlings. However, further investigations on the adverse effects of differing watering rate, and different cashew nut biotype in Nigeria is subject to validation and the findings shared to cashew nursery operators.

Published: October 2024

Groundnut production faces several constraints, including poor soil fertility, small land sizes, and inappropriate agricultural techniques. The study aimed to optimize groundnut (Archis hypogeal) yield using response surface methodology (RSM). It explored the use of CCD and RSM to determine the optimal application of rabbit, poultry, and sheep manure for maximum yield, a method not previously applied in groundnut production. The study was conducted at the Chuka University Teaching and Training Farm, Kairani. The experimental design was developed using Central Composite Design (CCD), with 20 experimental runs derived from 23  full factorial designs with six axial points and six center points. Data was collected on the weight of the groundnuts yield harvested in each experimental plot measured by use of a weighing scale. Response Surface Methodology techniques was adopted for data analysis in R-statistical software and R studio programing language. The study findings indicated that organic manures had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on the yield of groundnuts crop. The study revealed that application of 13.6097 t ha-1, 10.582 t ha-1 and 11.0814 t ha-1 of poultry, rabbit and sheep manure respectively are the optimum levels that would lead to maximum weight of groundnuts in the study area. The finding of this study could have an economic benefit to farmers in the study area which aligns with broader national goals of poverty reduction, rural development, and economic growth. This study recommended that farmers should adopt organic farming practices to reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers, improve soil health, and contribute to environmental sustainability.

Authors: Budiman William Jason , Soelistyo Liliek
Published: October 2024

This thesis explores how oppression and violent resistance are portrayed in the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners through the character of David Martinez. Using Iris Marion Young's "Five Faces of Oppression" and Frantz Fanon's theory of violent resistance is used for the analysis of how the oppressive conditions imposed by Arasaka Corporation lead David to walk the path of violent resistance as a means to reclaim his humanity and agency. I examine how David's story illuminates the dynamics of violent oppression and resistance. Analysis of David's character serves as a lens through which to examine the dynamics of oppression and resistance, explaining how his violent resistance not only breaks him from oppression but also inspires others to challenge oppression. The analysis finds four types of oppression that happen to David which are marginalization, victim of violence, cultural imperialism, and powerlessness. These oppressive conditions lead to two effects of David’s resistance which is David’s death and the rebirth of humanization.

Authors: Prasetya Nikita Isabel
Published: October 2024

This study examined the use of emoji in TikTok comments about Prabowo Subianto from the first presidential debate. This study applied Yus’ (2014) framework which identifies eight distinct emoji functions. Conducted through a qualitative analysis of 50 comments collected on the day of the video’s release, the findings indicated that emoji used performed all functions except for the illocutionary force modifier. The emoji used suggest vibrant and expressive interactions, where the TikTok users reacted both light-heartedly and critically. The absence of illocutionary force modifiers aligns with Prabowo Subianto's direct communication style, which prompts more straightforward responses from the TikTok users.

Authors: Refira Spania
Published: October 2024

This study analyzes Jerome Polin’s and Livy Renata’s use of code-mixing in a Jerome Goes to School vlog. Muysken’s (2000) code-mixing theory is used as the primary framework, supported by Holmes’ (2013) social factors theory. A qualitative approach is employed, complemented by numerical data. The findings reveal six similarities and five differences in Jerome Polin’s and Livy Renata’s code-mixing practices. Similarities include the use of all three types of code-mixing (insertion, alternation, and congruent lexicalization), with insertion being the most common and congruent lexicalization the least common. Both speakers also exhibit high consistency in their use of constituency indicators and the uniform application of alternation’s and insertion’s four indicators. Differences include Jerome Polin’s higher use of insertion and lower use of congruent lexicalization, contrasted with Livy Renata’s higher use of congruent lexicalization and specific elements switched. The study highlights how participants’ roles (host and guest), the setting (educational and entertaining vlog), topic (school tour), and function (informing and engaging viewers) influence their code-mixing practices. Future research should analyze multiple episodes and content types or should focus on audience reception and comprehension related to the use of code-mixing in digital media.
