Outcomes of protocol-based management for venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in congenital heart surgery – A 2-decade experience
Authors: Othin Moses , Haranal Maruti , Sivalingam Sivakumar , Khalid Khairul Faizah Mohd , Soo Kok Wai
Published: October 2024

Background:

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a vital mechanical circulatory support used with increasing frequency in complex congenital cardiac surgeries. This study evaluated the outcomes of a protocol-based venoarterial (VA) ECMO program following congenital heart surgeries.

Methods and Results:

This was a retrospective review of 198 patients who underwent VA-ECMO after congenital cardiac surgeries at our institute between 2004 and 2023. Patients were divided into pre-ECMO protocol (2004–2017) and post-ECMO protocol (2018–2023) implementation. There were 107 patients in the preprotocol era and 91 in the postprotocol era. We compared weaning from ECMO and survival to hospital discharge between the two eras. An analysis of the factors influencing survival to hospital discharge was also done. ECMO was initiated through the central cannulation technique through median sternotomy in all patients. The median age and weight at initiation were 4 months (interquartile range [IQR] 1–33.5 months) and 4.4 kg (IQR 3.3–10.1 kg), respectively. The successful weaning of the ECMO (n = 67/91, 73.6%) and survival to discharge (n = 43/91, 47.3%) were higher in patients of the postprotocol era. However, it was not statistically significant. Higher risk adjustment for congenital heart surgery-1 >3 and acute kidney injury were independent predictors of poorer survival to hospital discharge.

Conclusions:

A protocol-based ECMO program may improve outcomes of successful weaning and survival to discharge in patients undergoing congenital cardiac surgeries.

Authors: Ouattara Ousmane , Dao Ibrahim , Ouedraogo Narcisse Wendpuiré Mike , Ouedraogo Souleymane
Published: October 2024

Background:

Spondyloptosis is a condition in which one vertebral body is completely displaced over the corpus of the adjacent one. It is more common in the lumbar region of the spine, but it very rarely occurs in the cervical spine. In this study, we report a case of post-traumatic cervical spine spondyloptosis in a child.

Case Report:

We describe a case of a 14-year-old male, who was admitted for cervicalgia with incomplete neurological deficit as a result of falling from a tree. Computed tomography (CT) of the neck revealed a posterior C5–C6 spondyloptosis with anterior spondylolisthesis of C7–T1. Surgical intervention was performed by the anterior approach only. The patient recovered completely after 2 months.

Conclusion:

Traumatic cervical spondyloptosis is an injury with rare occurrence with varied clinical presentations. Until now, there is no consensus concerning the most effective treatment for spondyloptosis. Satisfactory clinical and good outcomes can be obtained by anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion.
The Disintegration of “Power/Knowledge”: Post-Socialist Studies as Decolonial Studies? A Personal Point of View. Part 1: Post-Colonialism, Balkanism and Self-Colonization
Authors: Kiossev Alexander
Published: October 2024

The relationship between post-colonial and post-socialist studies is extraordinarily complex. Post-colonialists might argue that it can be approached from different perspectives as well as different power positions of knowledge production. As a result, I have chosen a specific trajectory that intersects and challenges the static power positions and is able to trace the debates and the unfolding of the complex problem over time. As a long-time scholar in this area, and moreover, one who has taken many different roads in both fields, I will describe this relationship from the perspective of my own scholarly biography.

However, my professional career has spanned several decades and surpassed the transient trends and fashions within this scholarly field. As such, it can only be depicted as an extensive narrative comprising multiple episodes.

Each episode showcases its unique scientific intrigue and unravels its own methodological peripeteia, all of which contribute to the overarching story I wish to share. Such complex material required a specific structure and organization, leading to the formation of three distinct parts of the story. These parts are published in sequence across the double issue of the journal Studia Litteraria, devoted to forms of engagement in contemporary Southern and Western Slavic literatures.
Advertising Effects of Apophenia Imagery and Case Examples in Advertising Communication
Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Lu Mo , Yang Jae Bum
Published: October 2024

We often imagine a rabbit pounding rice cakes on the moon. When we focus on the full moon and imagine a rabbit on it, it can seem as though the rabbit is truly there. The psychological phenomenon of finding meaning, connections, or patterns among unrelated phenomena is called “apophenia”. Although apophenia is frequently used in advertising imagery, there is relatively little research on this topic. This study defines apophenia-related theories and terms using existing literature and case studies. It shows that apophenia imagery can lead viewers to perceive meaning, patterns, and connections among unrelated phenomena, thus inducing belief and creating creative value in advertising. In this context, the paper explains how seemingly non-existent visual content is perceived through various types of apophenia examples. Research questions about these seemingly paradoxical phenomena are raised, and the paper seeks to address these questions through case analysis of apophenia imagery, highlighting the significance of this study.
A Study on the Design Case of Type 2 Diabetes Application in Korea: Applications that people in their 20s and 30s prefer
Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Song Eun Joo , Nam Won Suk
Published: October 2024

According to statistics from the Korea Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, the number of diabetes patients in their 30s stood at 121,568 as of 2020, up 25.5% from four years ago. In particular, the prevalence of young diabetes patients in their 20s increased by 47% from 23,798 in 2016 to 35,005 in 2020. They are at high risk of complications due to their long disease life, so the importance of the diabetes management app is drawing attention for steady management and continuous information, but most apps are being developed focused on middle-aged people. There is inevitably a difference between the living environment of middle-aged people and those in their 20s and 30s, but due to the characteristics of the younger generation, which has a high proportion of single-person households, it is difficult to manage diabetes on their own. For young diabetics and diabetes patients in their 40s or older, there will be differences in the areas that are directly or indirectly affected by the living environment and social environment, so the preferred design will change and the physical situation will be affected, which will affect the user interface. Looking at the two objects together and developing diabetes applications will inevitably cause inconvenience to users. Recognize the gap between the two targets and see the need for applications used by young diabetes patients who have been pushed out of development targets, not applications for existing middle-aged people. Therefore, the study conducted a basic study for developing applications suitable for young diabetes patients by comparing applications preferred by people in their 20s and 30s with the design characteristics of diabetes management apps in order to develop applications that can help young diabetics manage diabetes on their own. The paper compared and analyzed the most frequently used and existing diabetes applications in their 20s and 30s. Currently, for diabetes applications, there is a lack of fun factors that can increase user access, leading to the need to develop fun factors that can help young diabetics manage continuously.
Study correlates visual meaning of military identity and mascots
Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Lee Min A , Um Gi Jun
Published: October 2024

This study analyzes the symbols and mascots of the U.S., Russian, Japanese, and South Korean militaries, among the powers surrounding the Korean Peninsula, to examine the correlation between military identity and visual meaning. The research methodology was to summarize military identity and symbols through each country's military websites and analyze the symbolism, colors, and gestures of the mascots. The results showed that the U.S. military uses animal mascots with strong images to emphasize courage and strength, Russia uses mascots that symbolize national power and glory, Japan's Self-Defense Forces use mascots that emphasize peace and protection, and the South Korean military uses friendly and cute mascots to communicate with the public. In our analysis, we found that while there are many examples of military symbols expressing identity, there is often a mismatch between military identity and mascots, which can negatively impact a military's brand image and internal cohesion. In particular, in some military organizations, the symbols and mascot designs do not reflect the military's core values or mission, creating an identity mismatch that can negatively impact the military's public image. As a solution to this, we suggest analyzing the military's identity and clearly reflecting its core values during the design process to align mascot and symbol designs with its identity.

Published: October 2024

Bio-design is evolving into a significant field of design under the paradigm of sustainability. The methods and types of design in this field are diverse, ranging from designs that utilize scientific knowledge and technologies from biology, to those that adhere to traditional, handcrafted methods using local materials or involving communities. Particularly, there is a wide and rapid expansion of attempts to harness new materials derived from organisms like plants and animals, as well as to apply natural structures, systems, and processes. Now, it is time to address the challenges of moving to the next stage. To this end, this study examines the current trends and future tasks for the expansion of bio-design by synthesizing case analyses of recent changes in the field and the content derived from interviews with experts in this domain. The results of the study reveal various issues and challenges, including the exploration of bio-design as an alternative in daily life beyond mere aesthetics, the initiation of mass production attempts, the emphasis on the meaning or value of design rather than the novelty of materials, the need for government or corporate-driven development, and the necessity for serious consideration of functionality and utility beyond stylistic aspects. This study aims to serve as a foundation for future discussions to ensure that bio-design continues to fulfill its role within the design industry and solidifies its position as a significant branch of industrial design.
A Study on the Accuracy and Application of IMU Motion Capture for Virtual Production
Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Choi Hyuk Jae , Kim Ji Young
Published: October 2024

IMU-based motion capture systems are gaining attention as a low-cost, easy-to-install alternative to Optical Motion Capture (OMC) due to their wide capture volume. This study analyzes the technical features of IMU systems and compares their accuracy with OMC, reviewing correction techniques to address magnetic interference and sensor drift. Six prior studies showed that post-correction accuracy had an RMSE of 0.3-7.2, with sports movements achieving 79.32-100% accuracy. IMU systems are advantageous for real-time processing and live performance, making them valuable in virtual production. However, they have limitations in precise motion capture, such as facial capture, requiring hybrid system support and further technological advancements.
A Study on the Correlation Between Bang&Olufsen Audio Product Design and Product Design Characteristics of the Nordic Region
Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Bai Suyoun , Kim Byung Soo
Published: October 2024

At some point in modern daily life, Nordic design began to rapidly increase as a home design preferred by people. Northern Europe has developed a unique culture due to its geographical conditions, such as adapting to nature or being friendly, focusing on indoor life, and practicality through simplicity. In this study, the characteristics of Northern European Design were derived into four types through analysis of design cases of representative Northern European countries. Nordic countries are traditionally based on practicality, and are characterized by nature-friendly purity, aesthetics of cultural background, and sustainable simplicity. Bang & Olufsen was selected as the target to examine specifically how these Nordic design characteristics were applied to actual product design and how they changed over time. Bang & Olufsen is a world-renowned audio company in Northern Europe with a 99-year history. In this study, a case study of 66 representative Bang & Olufsen products from 1926 to 2023 was conducted, and the results showed that Bang & Olufsen's audio design generally maintains the characteristics of Nordic design over time. Among the characteristics of Nordic design, simplicity and aesthetics still remain strong over time, and purity is relatively low but appears to be increasing slowly as technology advances. Despite the lack of samples of target products for case analysis and some limitations in the expert survey, this study is significant in that it presents a method for analyzing design characteristics by examining the geographical characteristics and temporal changes in product design.

Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Kim Mee Sook , Song Junwoo
Published: October 2024

This study aims to develop a personalized tourist destination recommendation system by analyzing the color and emotional factors of destination images. It evaluated and analyzed the emotional responses and color characteristics conveyed by images of natural resorts and urban tourist sites. A survey was conducted to collect users' emotional responses to these images, and a BERTopic model based on BERT was used to analyze text data from social media. The survey results provided a clear understanding of how users react to specific colors and emotional factors. For natural resorts, Green(G) was the most associated color, followed by Green-Yellow(GY) and Blue(B). In the case of urban tourist sites, Yellow-Red(YR) and Yellow(Y) were most commonly associated, followed by Blue-Green(BG) and Blue(B). Additionally, during the system's execution, the Bhattacharyya distance was used to measure color similarity between images, displaying images that match the user's emotions. Therefore, this study developed a recommendation system that considers the impact of destination images on users' emotions, proposing a new approach to better reflect users' emotional needs.

Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Cho Yoon Kyung , Um Gi Jun
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study is to analyze the visual meaning of realistic media art. First, realistic media art, Roland Barthes' semiotics, and Bernd H. Schmitt's experiential marketing are the background of academic analysis. Second, after categorizing district works by category, the semiotic meaning of each work is analyzed, and five types of experiential marketing are analyzed. This study limited the scope of the study to the works that won the main prize at the ‘iF Design Awards in Germany from 2020 to 2024, and then conducted a case analysis in the commercial service sector and the art service sector. As a result of the study, it was found that both sectors are the same in that they take sensory marketing and emotional marketing, but there is a difference in that the commercial sector focuses on behavioral marketing and the art sector focuses on cognitive marketing. Finally, this study suggests a theoretical basis that can contribute to the development of realistic media art by combining the semantic function of the semiotic perspective with the experiential marketing strategy.

Huelga y procedimientos de solución de conflictos
Authors: Monereo Pérez José Luis
Published: October 2024

La huelga pertenece al ámbito de la autonomía colectiva, sin cuyo reconocimiento es impensable una democracia constitucional pluralista. La huelga es un fenómeno social que solo más tardíamente se convierte en una institución jurídica, sin dejar de ser institución social objeto de regulación. Y ello en una permanente tensión entre la huelga como hecho y la huelga en el Derecho y como derecho. La dinámica de la huelga está presidida por relaciones de poder: poderes de los trabajadores, poderes de los empresarios y poderes públicos; y en ellos subyacen intereses en conflicto potencias no sólo de trabajadores, empresarios y de los propios gobiernos, sino también intereses públicos o generales, intereses de los ciudadanos, usuarios y consumidores en relación con los servicios públicos (en el sentido amplio de servicios esenciales de la comunidad que utiliza expresamente el art. 28.2 de la Constitución Española).
De manera que el fenómeno de la huelga no queda restringido al ámbito de las relaciones laborales interprivadas, va más allá de las “luchas económicas”. Y ello en un contexto presidido por la internacionalización de las empresas y la transformación de las formas de organizaciones de las empresas y de las relaciones laborales (“internacionalizadas”): cadenas globales de valor, subcontratación internacional, expansión de las formas de teletrabajo, etcétera. Procesos de cambio favorecidos por la expansión de las nuevas tecnologías y su fase actual de digitalización (algoritmos, inteligencia artificial). La huelga se inserta en la lógica de la acción colectiva del sindicalismo y en su historia está un continuo proceso de adaptación a la transformación de las relaciones de trabajo y de los sistemas de relaciones laborales. Esto explica su flexibilidad para hacer frente a las nuevas formas de desarrollo de los conflictos atendiendo a las diversas culturas sindicales y de política del Derecho.

Published: October 2024

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is not common in the thoracic surgeon´s routine. However, when it is encountered, it is important that the correct diagnosis and treatment is carried out, especially as surgery can be indicated in cases of non-clinical improvement. The goal of the surgery is to release the thoracic outlet constriction structures, which can be performed by several approaches. The innovative VATS surgical technique described here allows better rib exposure, the use of blunt digital dissection, as well as a new device for rib cutting. The technique described here has proven to be feasible, safe and reproducible.

Introduction: Aging is associated with a decline in cognitive functions, increasing the risk of neurocognitive impairment and limitation of activities of daily living and participation. Previous literature has pointed to physical exercise as an effective intervention; however, its characteristics still need to be specified. Objective: The aim was to synthesize the appropriate intensity, duration, frequency, and type of exercise for different types of cognitive variables. Method: A systematic review was carried out according to PRISMA, using three databases: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Experimental longitudinal studies were included, whether randomised or not, which performed physical exercise and with a control group in people over 60 years of age. Methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale. Results: The results yielded 11 studies finding significant improvements in all of them after performing the intervention (7 of aerobic exercise, 3 of resistance exercise and 2 of combined exercise) finding improvements in attention, memory, processing speed, executive function, inhibition, concentration, perceptual reasoning, orientation, visuospatial perception, and visuomotor organisation. Conclusions: Physical exercise appears to be a beneficial intervention for cognition in older people, with aerobic exercise being the most studied, although further research is needed. The results could benefit decision-making in rehabilitation to work on cognition in cognitively healthy older people.

Overweight and obesity can be caused by lack of physical activity and an imbalance in energy intake and energy expenditure, which can lead to excess energy which will be stored in the form of fat tissue in the body. Efforts to improve healthy lifestyles can be done with nutritional education. Technological developments can provide opportunities to increase telehealth activities in Indonesia, one of which is tele-nutrition. This study aims to determine the effect of tele-nutrition education on changes in percent fat, cholesterol and physical activity in overweight adults. This research uses a pre-test post-test control group design. A total of 46 adult respondents aged 19-49 years. Both groups were first given an initial test (pre-test) with the same test. Then the experimental group was given special treatment, namely tele-nutrition-based nutrition education, while the control group was given direct leaflet-based nutrition education treatment. Data analysis was used using the Paired T Test and Wilcoxon Test. Based on the results of the analysis, there was no effect on body fat percentage before and after being given nutritional education in the experimental group and control group (p>0.05). There was an effect on cholesterol levels and physical activity before and after being given nutrition education in the experimental group, while in the control group there was no effect on cholesterol levels and physical activity before and after being given nutrition education (p<0.05).

Self-concept, digital literacy skills and attitudes toward library use by undergraduates in two universities in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria
Authors: Adegbore Adebayo Muritala , Ola-Alawode Oluwatobi David
Published: October 2024

Attitudes toward library use are individual patterns of behaving, thinking and consistent inclinations towards the utilisation of library resources and services. It is an anchor that explains the overall perception and disposition that a person holds toward engaging with the library as a valuable academic resource to meet its needs. It has been observed that attitudes toward library use are experiencing a negative downturn (West, 2023; Kaur, 2022; Mwatela, 2013). This might have resulted due to negative self-concept, low level of digital skill, or limited awareness among students about the extensive array of available library resources. This study, therefore, investigated self-concept, digital literacy skills, and attitudes toward library use of undergraduates in two selected universities in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. To achieve the main objective of the study four (4) null hypotheses were formulated. The research design adopted for this study was the descriptive survey design of the correlational type. A multistage cluster random sampling technique was used to draw the sample size of four hundred and thirty three (433) spreading to three faculties of two universities in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. A validated questionnaire was used for data collection and data were analysed using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and multiple regression in order to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that there is a significant but inverse relationship between self-concept and digital literacy skills (r= -.126; p < 0.05; N= 311); there is a significant relationship between self-concept and attitudes toward library use (r= .283; p < 0.05; N= 311); there is no significant relationship between digital literacy skills and attitude towards library use (r= .044; p >0.05; N= 311) and there is a significant joint influence of self-concept and digital literacy skills on attitude towards library use (r= .086; p < 0.05; N= 311). The study concluded that self-concept and digital literacy skills are good predictors of attitude toward the use of library. It was recommended that academic libraries should prioritise initiatives and implementation of programmes that will further foster positive perceptions to help boost their overall engagement with the library. This will in turn support their academic positively such as improving the self-concept and digital literacy skills of undergraduates’ pursuit.

The study examined use of instructional resources and academic performance of library and information science (LIS) postgraduate students in South-South, Nigeria. Three research questions were answered in the study. The research involved postgraduate students from three state-owned universities located in Delta, Edo, and Rivers States, Nigeria, using a correlational research design. The population consisted of 152 postgraduate students who also constituted the sample size through total enumeration sampling. A questionnaire was the only tool used to collect data. Out of 152 copies of questionnaire distributed, a total of 133 were completed and returned, representing an 86% response rate. The collected data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson’s product moment correlation (PPMC) with a significance level of 0.05 applied to address the research questions. The results showed no significant difference in the use of instructional resources between M.Sc. and PhD LIS students (f {131} = 5.416, p = 0.21; p < 0.05), nor were there significant differences in resource usage among different institutions (F = 2, 130 = 10.704, P = 0.000; p < 0.05). Additionally, the study found that use of instructional resources did not have a statistically significant impact on the academic performance of the library and information science postgraduate students (r = .111, P = .204 ˃ 0.05). The conclusion drawn was that there is no significant difference in the use of instructional resources between M.Sc. and PhD students as well as across different institutions, indicating similar needs and consistent availability of resources. The study recommended that institutions should standardize the provision of instructional resources for both M.Sc. and Ph.D. students since their needs and usage patterns are alike, regardless of their level of study.
