A rare case of unilateral traumatic peripheral retinal arteriolar occlusions and neovascularization of optic disc
Authors: Srinivasan Srilakshmi , Sanjay Srinivasan , Rao Harsha L. , Subashchandra D.
Published: March 2023

A young adult Asian Indian male presented to us with a 1-month history of trauma to the right eye (RE) with a tennis ball. He had intraocular pressure (IOP) of 32 mmHg while on three topical antiglaucoma drugs and oral acetazolamide, with uncontrolled inflammation in the anterior chamber (AC) and arteriolar occlusions in the periphery. His best corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in RE. Fluorescein angiography of the RE showed the presence of neovascularization of disc (NVD). Magnetic resonance angiography of the head and neck, and blood investigations ruled out the embolic origin of arteriolar occlusion and systemic causes for inflammation. Intra ocular pressure (IOP) and inflammation were controlled with appropriate treatment. NVD resolved with photocoagulation treatment (PRP) for capillary non-perfusion areas in 4 weeks. This case documents the occurrence of arteriolar occlusion, with neovascularization after arteriolar occlusion post blunt trauma, and successful adjunct use of topical cyclosporine in the management of AC inflammation and high IOP.

Authors: Matias Maria João , Alves-Peixoto Pedro , Rocha António , Chibante-Pedro João
Published: March 2023

Objective:

The objective of the study was to assess the glycemic control and cardiovascular risk (CV risk) change in diabetes mellitus type II (DM-II) patients undergoing uncomplicated bilateral cataract phacoemulsification surgery.

Design:

Retrospective study.

Participants:

We selected 28 patients who underwent uncomplicated bilateral cataract surgery at Centro Hospitalar de Entre o Douro e Vouga between January 2018 and December 2019.

Inclusion Criteria:

We included patients submitted to bilateral cataract surgery without other known ophthalmological pathology. Furthermore, there were available records of their comorbidities, lipid profile, blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and body max index (BMI) prior to and in the 6 months following surgery.

Materials and Methods:

We assessed our patient cohort for changes in HbA1c, lipid profile, BMI, and blood pressure before and after surgery. We further subdivided our patient cohort into two different groups: group 1 – no to mild visual impairment, ≤0.48 logarithm of the Minimum Angle of Resolution (LogMAR); Group 2 – moderate to severe visual impairment, >0.48 LogMAR, and assessed for the same variables at the mentioned time points. Comparisons were done using paired samples Student's t-test or Wilcoxon rank and repeated measures ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc tests, respectively.

Results:

Following cataract surgery and subsequent improved visual acuity (VA), our patient cohort showed decreased HbA1c, lower arterial blood pressure, and decreased BMI, with an improved CV risk score within 6 months of cataract surgery. These improvements were more evident in the patients with worse baseline VA.

Conclusions:

Phacoemulsification cataract surgery resulted in improved CV risk and glycemic control in DM-II patients.

Authors: Wan-Nur-Hajidah Wan Mohd Hazman , Siti-Azrin Ab Hamid , Norsa'adah Bachok , Fauziah Jummaat , Wan-Nor-Asyikeen Wan Adnan
Published: March 2023

Background:

The rates of repeat cesarean section (CS) among women with previous CS are increasing worldwide. The predictors of a repeat CS can vary across different populations.

Objective:

To determine the predictors of repeat CS among women from Malaysia with one previous lower segment CS (LSCS) who underwent trial of labor (TOLAC).

Materials and Methods:

This retrospective cohort study included women with one previous LSCS who followed up and delivered their current pregnancy at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Kelantan, Malaysia, between January 01, 2016, and December 31, 2017. Women with singleton pregnancies were included while those who had a history of classical CS, current pregnancy with preterm birth, non-cephalic pregnancy, lethal fetal anomalies, uterine rupture, and severe preeclampsia or planned for elective CS were excluded. Logistic regressions were performed.

Results:

The study included 388 women who underwent TOLAC and successfully gave childbirth through vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) (n = 194) or emergency LSCS (n = 194). Factors significantly associated with repeat CS were no history of vaginal delivery (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 2.71; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.60, 4.60; P < 0.001), estimated fetal weight ≥3500 grams (aOR: 4.78; 95% CI: 2.45–9.34; P < 0.001), and presence of meconium-stained liquor (aOR: 2.40; 95% CI: 1.33–4.35; P = 0.004).

Conclusion:

The above-mentioned predictors of a repeat CS among women from Malaysia with one previous LSCS who underwent TOLAC can be useful for clinicians in making an informed decision.

Published: March 2023

Background:

Since the COVID-19 pandemic peaked, few studies have thereafter assessed the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of healthcare workers.

Objectives:

To determine the rate and predictors of self-reported symptoms of depression and anxiety among physicians at a public tertiary care teaching hospital in Saudi Arabia about 2 years after COVID-19 was declared a pandemic.

Methods:

This cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2021 to April 2022 and targeted all physicians working at King Fahd Hospital of the University, Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia. Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and General Anxiety Disorder-7 were used to elicit self-reported data regarding depression and anxiety, respectively. In addition, sociodemographic and job-related data were collected.

Results:

A total of 438 physicians responded, of which 200 (45.7%) reported symptoms of depression and 190 (43.4%) of anxiety. Being aged 25–30 years, female, resident, and reporting reduction in work quality were factors significantly associated with both anxiety and depression. Female gender (AOR = 3.570; 95% CI = 2.283–5.582; P < 0.001), working an average 9–11 hours/day (AOR = 2.130; 95% CI = 1.009–4.495; P < 0.047), and self-perceived reduction in work quality (AOR = 3.139; 95% CI = 2.047–4.813; P < 0.001) were significant independent predictors of anxiety. Female gender (AOR = 2.929; 95% CI = 1.845–4.649; P < 0.001) and self-perceived reduction in work quality (AOR = 3.141; 95% CI = 2.053–4.804; P < 0.001) were significant independent predictors of depression.

Conclusions:

About half of the physicians reported symptoms of anxiety and depression. These findings are suggestive of the need for large-scale studies to determine the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of healthcare workers in Saudi Arabia.

Published: March 2023

Background:

Limited studies from Saudi Arabia have assessed the quality of life (QoL) of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients on hemodialysis and its associated factors.

Objective:

To determine the physical, psychological, familial, and social factors that impact the QoL of ESKD patients in Saudi Arabia.

Materials and Methods:

This cross-sectional study included adult patients with ESKD who underwent hemodialysis at King Salman Center for Kidney Disease and King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between June and July 2021, and had been on dialysis for ≥1 year were included. The Arabic version of the Quality of Life Index–Dialysis (QLI-D) version III was used, which has four sub-scales.

Results:

A total of 173 respondents completed the questionnaire. The overall mean (±SD) QoL score was 22.2 (±4.30), while the scores for the sub-scales ranged from 20.8 (±5.25) (Health and Functioning subscale) to 26.0 (Family subscale). Respondents aged >70 years had significantly lower average score (P < 0.05) and lower Health and Functioning subscale score (P < 0.05). Education and higher income had significant positive correlation with the Social and Economic subscale (r = 0.234, P < 0.01; and r = 0.162, P < 0.05, respectively). Diabetes was significantly associated with lower scores in the Health and Functioning subscale (P < 0.05). There was a positive linear trend in the association between the number of years on dialysis and the overall QLI-D score and the subscales of QLI-D (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

Higher education level and income and longer duration of dialysis were factors associated with better QoL, while older age and having diabetes were associated with poorer QoL. Awareness among healthcare providers regarding these factors can help improve the QoL of these patients.

Authors: Albeshri Zainab Saeed , Youssef Enas Fawzy
Published: March 2023

Background:

Kinesio tape has been proposed to improve the muscle extensibility. However, there are contradictory results in the literature.

Objective:

To investigate the effect of Kinesio tape on hamstring muscle lengthening and on hamstring and quadriceps muscle strengthening in university students with hamstring muscle tightness.

Methods:

In this pre–post experimental study, 96 female students with hamstring muscle tightness were recruited from Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam, Saudi Arabia, and randomly assigned to Kinesio tape, sham tape, or control groups (32 in each group). The inhibition technique was used for the Kinesio tape application, with the tape being applied from the muscle insertion to the origin. Measurements were taken before and 15 min after the intervention. Outcome measurements included active knee extension test to measure the hamstring muscle length, and isometric strength measurements of hamstring and quadriceps muscles using a handheld dynamometer.

Results:

A significant increase in the immediate hamstring muscle length was found in both the Kinesio (P = 0.001) and sham (P = 0.004) tape groups, while no difference was noted in the control group (P = 0.066). The muscle lengthening was significantly greater in the Kinesio tape group than the sham tape (P = 0.001) and control (P = 0.001) groups. There was no difference in the pre- and post-measurements in the quadriceps and hamstring muscle strengths in all three groups.

Conclusions:

These results demonstrate that applying Kinesio tape has an immediate effect on hamstring muscle extensibility, but has no effect on the quadriceps and hamstring muscle strengths.

Advances in CGRP Monoclonal Antibodies as Migraine Therapy
Authors: Aditya Suruchi , Rattan Aditya
Published: March 2023

Migraine is a potentially disabling disorder, yet it remains underdiagnosed and undertreated. The release of the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the trigemino-cerebrovascular system plays a vital role in the evolution of migraine. It enhances peripheral sensitization by mediating neurogenic inflammation and also influences central sensitization. The majority of the drug classes available for migraine prophylaxis are nonspecific and associated with numerous side effects and drug interactions. Anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are an innovative therapeutic class that fulfills the need for more efficacious and tolerable preventive therapy. While erenumab is a mAb to the CGRP receptor, eptinezumab, fremanezumab, and galcanezumab bind to the CGRP molecule. They decrease the number of headache days and improve disability. Upper respiratory tract infection, nausea, constipation, pain at the site of injection, and fatigue are the associated side effects. CGRP mAbs are an excellent advancement in translational research and are a promising addition in migraine therapy. This article discusses the recent advances in the development of the CGRP mAbs.

Case Report: Severe Optic Neuritis after Multiple Episodes of Malaria in a Traveler to Africa
Authors: Sun Chuan-bin , Ma Zhiqiong , Liu Zhe
Published: March 2023

Although local transmission of malaria has been eliminated, the disease is frequently imported to China by Chinese travelers returning from Africa. Optic neuritis (ON) is occasionally reported in malarial cases and usually shows good visual recovery and prognosis. Herein, we report severe visual loss with poor recovery due to bilateral ON in a malarial patient who traveled from Nigeria. While he was still in Nigeria, his visual acuity dropped to no light perception in both eyes after the third episode of malaria, which was confirmed by a positive blood smear for malarial parasites. His general condition gradually improved after a 6-day course of artesunate therapy. However, visual acuity in both eyes remained unchanged after artesunate therapy alone, with gradual improvement subsequently shown after pulse steroid therapy. Our case indicates that early antimalarial drugs combined with pulse steroid therapy may be of great importance for good visual recovery in ON cases after malarial infection.
Literature review on uncertainty response strategies for fundamental confidence in creativity in design: focusing on Nassim Nicholas Taleb's skeptical empiricism, antifragility, and Barbell strategy
Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Lee Won Sub , Nah ken
Published: March 2023

Modern society has taken a step closer to the kingdom of extremes than the kingdom of mediocrity. In an extreme kingdom which is vulnerable to the Black Swan, changes in the design industry are difficult to predict and lack creative confidence among designers which makes them more prone to problems and confusion. Design has changed from styling, which is responsible for aesthetics, to a process that implies creative problem-solving. In this study, fear was selected as the biggest psychological obstacle for individual designers in creative problem solving, and fundamental confidence in creativity was asserted as a solution to it. In addition, fundamental confidence in creativity was defined as an emotional state in which you can immerse yourself in the work you are doing with the conviction that it will help you solve creative problems. In the main body, the theories necessary to increase creative confidence were considered. Skeptic empiricism, antifragility, and Barbell strategies were analyzed and interpreted so that they could be applied to designers. As a way to cope with uncertainty, three theories are based on the fact that creative confidence is effective. Through Nassim Nicholas Taleb's methodology, designers will be able to provide a theoretical basis for valuing their beliefs and improving their confidence in creativity.

Published: March 2023

Students in the design department of specialized high schools should flexibly learn how to materialize and visualize information along with creativity through individualization. However, due to the various limitations of the classes, there is a uniform classification system that does not consider the diversity of students. Therefore, the researcher proposes learning method using visual design-infographic design along with individualization classes to consider individual differences between students in the design deparment. As a research method, the theoretical background of infographic design and individualization classes was examined through literature research and prior research, and the fusion of infographic design classes and individualization classes was studied. After that, a survey was conducted on design teachers to lay the foundation for the class, and infographic design classes were specified through the concept of individualized classes. The researcher planned a group-specific individualized infographics design classes in 5 stages. The researcher conducted a 3-week (April 11-29, 2022) individualized infographics design classes targeting 62 students in the design department of a specialized high school in Seoul, and proved its effectiveness by obtaining a high satisfaction rating with an average score of 4.5 in a post-classes satisfaction survey.
A Deep Exposition of GAN and its applications
Authors: Syed Azahad  , Shaik Hameeda
Published: March 2023

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have revolutionized the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence by providing a powerful framework for generating realistic and high-quality synthetic data. GANs consist of two networks, a generator that produces synthetic data and a discriminator that distinguishes between the synthetic data and real data. The two networks are trained together in a game-theoretic setting, where the generator tries to produce synthetic data that is similar to the real data, while the discriminator tries to distinguish between the two. This paper provides a deep exposition of GAN and its applications, starting with the basics of GANs, their architecture, and how they work. We then discuss the training process of GAN, the challenges associated with it, and the techniques used to address these issues. We also describe the different variants of GANs, including conditional GAN, progressive GAN, and style-based GAN, and their applications. Next, we provide a comprehensive overview of the various domains where GANs have been successfully applied, such as image and video synthesis, text generation, and music composition. We discuss the potential future directions of GANs and their applications, including research areas that need further investigation. Finally, we highlight the challenges and limitations associated with GANs, such as mode collapse, vanishing gradients, and instability, and the ethical and legal issues associated with their applications. We conclude by summarizing the key points of the paper and highlighting the potential of GANs as a tool for generating realistic and high-quality synthetic data.

The fattening of broilers in Serbia is partially organized through contract production in small family farms that fatten broilers for the needs of large companies. The article contains an economic analysis of this small family farm, which produces about 12 000 kg of chicken meat per year on a small area of 120 m2, with one family member involved all the time and other members helping as needed. Fattening broilers on the farm is organized in two ways: contract fattening up to 1 kg for 25 days and fattening up to 3.5-4 kg for 56 days. In the case of fattening broilers up to 25 days of age, on average, feed costs account for 45%, day-old chicks for 26%, and labor costs for 22%. For broilers up to 56 days of age, the largest average share is feed costs 62.4% and labor costs 26.2%. The price of fattened broilers did not change during the fattening period, so the realized production value was the same in one fattening method and similar in the other fattening method, while cost of production increased in each fattening round, which affected the reduction of contribution margine. In addition to the increase prices of feed mixtures, positive economic results were achieved on the farm, and with contract production, secure purchasing was ensured and risks in production were reduced.

Lignocellulosic biomass represents the most abundant renewable material in the world, whereas agricultural residues, including those from maize cultivation, comprise a significant fraction of the total plant waste that can be repurposed for various applications. Lignocellulosic feedstocks are non-edible and consist mainly of: cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, along with extractive compounds. Pretreatment is required to separate the lignocellulosic biomass into its constituents for efficient utilization. Even after extensive research and development of numerous techniques, pretreatment remains one of the most expensive phases in converting lignocellulosic biomass into biobased products.

Authors: ÖZTÜRK Lerzan
Published: March 2023

Soils collected from 28 canola fields in Malkara, Süleymanpaşa, Muratlı, Hayrabolu, and Ergene districts of Tekirdağ were examined for the determination of nematode fauna. In the soils taken from 0-60 cm depth in each field, 28 genera of nematodes were recovered by the modified Baermann Funnel method. Of these, eight were bacterivores, three were fungivores, five were omnivores, three were predators, and the rest were plant-parasitic species. Nematodes in survey areas had colonizer-persister values ranging from 1 to 5. The maturity and community indices were also calculated and four were found as follows: Enrichment (E): 34.6±15.2; Maturity (MI): 2.68±0.05; Plant parasite (PPI): 2.69±0.39; Shannon's diversity (H'): 1.80±0.26. The predominant taxa were Filenchus (100%), Mesodorylaimus (92%), and Ditylenchus (85.1%). In terms of density in 100 cm3 soil, the highest values were found in the genus Acrobeloides (192 individuals/100 cm3 soil), and the number of Ditylenchus (57 individuals/100 cm3 soil), Filenchus (180 individuals/100 cm3 soil), and Mesodorylaimus (165 individuals/100 cm3 soil), individuals were also found high in some soils. The plant parasitic nematodes identified in canola fields include Boleodorus tylactus, Filenchus cylindricus, Filenchus sheri, Filenchus thornei, Geocenamus brevidens, Helicotylenchus digonicus, Malenchus fusiformis, Paratylenchus variabilis, Pratylenchoides alkani, Rotylenchus robustus, Tylenchorhynchus annulatus, and Tylenchorhynchus cylindricus.

Authors: Благодуров Сергей Иванович
Published: March 2023

. Вопрос интегрирования дистанционных технологий в организацию учебного процесса сегодня актуален и представляет большой интерес исследователей, а также педагогов-практиков. В ста-тье приведен опыт внедрения ЭОР в образовательный процесс Балтийской государственной академии (БГАРФ ФГБОУ ВО «КГТУ», Калининград), как компонент дистанционных техноло-гий и делается вывод о том, что процесс такого внедрения до конца не изучен. Автором указы-ваются некоторые проблемы образования (необходимость специальной подготовки преподава-телей, разработок ЭОР для спец. дисциплин и др.). Предлагается авторский взгляд на толкова-ние основных компонентов, составляющих ЭОР.
Формирование ценностно-смысловых компетенций студентов вуза
Authors: Желтухина Марина Ростиславовна
Published: March 2023

Одним из актуальных запросов современного профессионального сообщества к системе образо-вания состоит в освоении студентами совокупности профессиональных и универсальных ком-петенций. Последовательное, системное освоение студентами совокупности компетенций направлено на формирование активного участника образовательной деятельности, реализующе-го свой аксиологический потенциал. Система высшего образования в целом ориентирована на ценностное воспитание студентов. При реализации компетентностного подхода в процессе обучения ценностно-смысловая составляющая принимается как априорная. Набор ценностно-смысловых компетенций придает личностную значимость, выступает вектором социокультур-ного ценностного существования, поэтому высшее образование нуждается в реализации систе-мы ценностно-смыслового воспитания. Результаты исследования позволили сделать вывод о том, что важно уделять больше внимания процессу эффективной профессионализации обучаю-щихся, формировать профессиональное самосознание и психологическое отношение к будущей профессии. Формирование ценностно-смысловых компетенций студентов высшего учебного заведения решает задачи развития и социализации личности.

. Современная дисциплина «Физическая культура» в вузе направлена на привитие правильного образа жизни студентов. Явно становится очевидным, что одна двигательная активность не мо-жет решить все задачи оздоровления и поддержания гармоничной физической формы молоде-жи. Важным компонентом здорового образа жизни является сбалансированное питание. В этом плане значимую роль имеет дневник питания как действенный инструмент обеспечения кон-троля питания. Умение вести такой дневник позволяет студентам скорректировать свое пита-ние и отслеживать текущее состоянии организма.

Значение e-HRM-систем в процессе управления
человеческими ресурсами компаний
Authors: Боинчану Даниил Сергеевич , Кармак Алевтина Алевтиновна
Published: March 2023

Рассматривается управление человеческими ресурсами: проблема, связанная с эмоцио-нальным выгоранием сотрудников, получает всё большее распространение. Другая про-блема заключена в том, что отдел кадров организации тратит больше времени на админи-стративную работу (специалисты по персоналу уделяют около 86% своего рабочего вре-мени на административную работу), чем на распределение творческого и профессиональ-ного потенциала сотрудников, повышение квалификации и увязку существующих талан-тов сотрудников с бизнес-целями [14].

Для решения проблем выгорания сотрудников, некорректного распределения та-лантов и траты большей части времени отдела кадров на административную работу в компаниях должны активно развиваться информационные системы е-HRM. Развитие дан-ных систем обеспечит более грамотный процесс управления человеческими ресурсами, а также позволит автоматизировать уже имеющийся.

Модель подготовки будущих педагогов к маркетинговой деятельности в рамках программы прикладного бакалавриата
Authors: Коренькова Наталия Анатольевна
Published: March 2023

Маркетинговая деятельность как парадигма, нацеленная на потребителя рыночной деятельно-сти, стремительно охватывает различные сферы применения. На протяжении долгих лет в сфе-ре образования сохраняется актуальность проблем воспитания и управления. Стремительный рост инноваций в области науки и общества выдвигает новые требования перед педагогами, заставляя их активно развиваться, преодолевая конкурентную составляющую рынка образова-тельных услуг. При таких обстоятельствах маркетинговая деятельность в сфере образования может отражать свою значимость как действенный инструментарий влияния, приводящий ры-нок образовательных услуг к соответствию требованиям реального времени. Анализ професси-онально-педагогической литературы вызвал интерес к более подробному изучению маркетинго-вой деятельности в образовательной среде с точки зрения профессиональной успешности руко-водителя образовательного учреждения. В первую очередь это связано с тем, что подобные раз-работки на этапе профессиональной подготовки будущего учителя, отсутствуют. В педагогиче-ской практике нет конкретики в понятиях модель и механизм подготовки будущего педагога к маркетинговой деятельности, несмотря на высокое требование конкурентоспособности, предъ-являемое к выпускникам педагогических вузов. Исходя из этого была определена необходи-мость в разработке модели рассматриваемой подготовки и выявлении педагогических условий эффективности ее реализации.
