ABSTRACT

Objective:

The transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) is a minimally invasive technique. This study aimed to compare the safety of TOETVA with fibrin sealant (Tisseel) and TOETVA with drainage.

Materials and Methods:

Patients who underwent TOETVA between January 2018 and December 2021 were divided into drainage (n = 20) and Tisseel (n = 30) groups.

Results:

The primary outcome was the incidence of complications. The secondary outcomes were operative time and postoperative pain. There were no significant differences in patient demographics, tumor size, intraoperative blood loss, and hospitalization days between the two groups. No patient required conversion to open thyroidectomy. The incidence of complications and postoperative pain was similar in the two groups. The operative time for TOETVA with Tisseel was significantly shorter than for TOETVA with drainage (P = 0.038).

Conclusion:

TOETVA with Tisseel is a safe alternative to TOETVA with drainage, having a short operative time.

Published: August 2024

Mobile robots are a type of robot that can move from one place to another. Therefore, this type of robot has been given the ability to detect objects and measure estimated distances to objects around it to then carry out actions to turn left and right, forward, backward or even stop to avoid collisions. In general, to measure the distance of objects on mobile robots, ultrasonic sensors such as the HC-SR04 are used and some also use cameras, although they can be used to measure distances, but the use of these sensors has disadvantages, such as the maximum distance that can be measured is 4 meters. Given this deficiency, the research that will be carried out will try a YOLO deep learning method that can detect objects and then measure the distance of objects around them. From the results of the tests that have been carried out, it is known that the distance to the object that can be measured is 31,400 mm with the actual object height being 1750 mm.

Published: August 2024

This research aims to obtain empirical evidence and analyze the impact of financial literacy (FL), lifestyle (LS), and use of pay later (UPL) on student consumptive behavior (CB). This research involved students from the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta as the subjects. Samples were taken using the purposive sampling method, namely students who used pay later, and the accidental sampling method, namely students who were easy to find. The total sample collected was 135 people. Hypothesis testing was carried out using the structural equation modeling (SEM) method via AMOS software. The results showed that improvements in FLT, LST, and UPL contributed to the increase in SCB. These findings indicate that students who understand financial services should be able to control themselves, so they do not behave impulsively. However, they behave consumptively because they are encouraged to be accepted by their group members and have an extravagant lifestyle. This condition can be achieved because there is ease of payment using pay later.

Published: August 2024

Table tennis coaches, athletes’ selection teams, and researchers seek a rare yet essential tool: a precise measure of reaction time performance. In this 4D research and development (R&D), the researchers aimed to develop a table tennis athletes’ reaction time (RT) measurement tool and norm the development process. Ninety participants (n=90), aged 17.97 years (99% CI: 17.7–18.2) with an average height of 168.05 cm (99% CI: 167–169), used the tool and the PLX DAQ Application recorded their data. Using RStudio and the descriptive statistics technique, we analysed the data: among key findings, the tool yielded proof of strong validity (Aiken V index = 0.92) and good reliability (ICC = 0.87). Athletes’ categorization revealed four distinct RT range boundaries: ‘Excellent’ (3 athletes), ‘Good’ (6 athletes), ‘Fair’ (50 athletes), and ‘Poor’ (31 athletes), respectively with RTs limits of 12.1 and 13.1, 14.1 and 15.1, 16.1 and 17.1, and then 18.1 and 19.1 ms. Height significantly influenced RT (r = -0.46), while age did not. As height increased from around 167.5±175 cm, RT decreased below 15 ms. We recommend disseminating a tool that is valid, reliable, and susceptible to categorising athletes’ performance.

Published: August 2024

Adolescence is an important period in human development, and physical education can play a vital role in promoting healthy habits that improve overall well-being. One factor contributing to the success of physical education programmes is motor self-efficacy. That is, self-confidence in one's own ability to perform physical tasks can influence adolescents' engagement and performance in PE, thus improving their overall health, as it can affect their level of physical activity and subsequently impact on their health outcomes. Aim: To analyse motor self-efficacy in Physical Education as a function of sex and educational environment in Spanish adolescents. Methodology: 1155 students (52.2% girls and 48.8% boys) were administered the Motor Self-Efficacy Scale (E-AEM). The Mann-Whitney U test was used for the analysis. Results: Significant sex differences were found in all E-AEM items, with boys scoring higher in motor self-efficacy than girls. In terms of environment, a significant difference was found in one E-AEM item, with adolescents from rural environments being more self-efficient in passing tests in Physical Education classes than adolescents from urban environments. Conclusions: These findings highlight the importance of taking contextual and gender differences into account when designing interventions to improve Physical Education and motor self-efficacy in adolescents in order to achieve a healthy lifestyle.

No Acórdão n.º 422/2020 o Tribunal Constitucional apreciou, a título prévio, a questão de saber se e em que medida pode pronunciar-se sobre a incompatibilidade entre uma norma de direito derivado da União Europeia e a Constituição. O Tribunal identificou no primeiro segmento normativo do n.º 4 do artigo 8.º da Constituição a aceitação genérica do primado e, no seu segundo segmento, um contra-limite à prevalência decorrente daquele. Exercendo a sua competência da competência processual, o Tribunal enunciou um critério constitucional para determinar o espaço autónomo de controlo nacional ínsito no segmento final do n.º 4 daquele preceito. Segundo esse critério, a recusa de aplicação de uma norma de Direito da União pressupõe a sua incompatibilidade com um princípio fundamental do Estado de direito democrático que não goze aí, no Direito da União, de valor paramétrico materialmente equivalente, ao que lhe é reconhecido pela Constituição.

The new, and in many ways revolutionary, paradigm which came out of World War II, translated in the Charter of the United Nations, through the general principle of the prohibition of the use of force (Article 2(4)), was swiftly submitted to a reality check. Since then, the prohibition of the use of force and its exceptions, in particular, self-defence and Security Council authorisation under Chapter VII of the Charter, have faced constant challenges and doubts fuelled, in part, by geopolitical interests and inherent fragilities.
Jus post bellum obligations of intervening states: A legal and ethical analysis of what we owe to the people of Afghanistan
Authors: Iverson Jens
Published: August 2024

This essay seeks to answer the question of what obligations intervening states have and why the US/NATO intervention in Afghanistan failed. With Afghanistan as a case study, it will attempt to illuminate the responsibilities and objectives of democratic intervening states in general. While it is too late for any near-term realistic hope of a just peace in Afghanistan, future efforts to create a democratic peace between nations should be built not only on humility about the intervenor’s knowledge of foreign peoples and cultures but a deeper understanding of democracy and peace between democracies. Given the ongoing need for asylum and the existence of the Afghani diaspora, it is not too late to learn from the people of Afghanistan as to how to proceed and honor our obligations. The reason why the US government and other NATO intervenors failed to achieve their desired outcome, a just and sustainable peace, is because collectively we not only had an institutionally weak knowledge of Afghanistan and Pakistan, we also had a poor understanding of democracy and peace between democracies. We were not just ignorant; we did not care to learn. This weakness, the misapprehension of democracy as more of a confidently perfected and exportable legal construct and not a humble ethical restriction on laws and knowledge, doomed our path to a just and sustainable peace. This misunderstanding about democracy, a misunderstanding that deepened at the height of American power, is important to correct if we are to achieve solidarity between democracies, and to intervene and choose not to intervene successfully in the future. A humbler approach to democracy-promotion, not an abandonment of it, would have had a higher likelihood of success over the past 20 years, and would still serve us better today in our relations with Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other governments and peoples.

Authors: Omar Yasmin
Published: August 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of gender stereotypes on career advancement in STEM fields in Tanzania.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: In Tanzania, gender stereotypes significantly impede career advancement for women in STEM fields, creating barriers to their professional growth and development. Research reveals that societal expectations and cultural biases often undervalue women’s contributions and limit their opportunities for advancement. Women face challenges such as unequal access to resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities compared to their male counterparts. These stereotypes contribute to lower representation of women in leadership positions within STEM sectors, further perpetuating gender disparities.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social role theory, stereotype threat theory & expectancy-value theory may be used to anchor future studies on impact of gender stereotypes on career advancement in STEM fields in Tanzania. Establish mentorship programs that pair LGBTQ+ individuals with supportive mentors who can provide guidance and advocacy. Implement and enforce policies that promote diversity and inclusion in hiring and promotion practices within STEM fields.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of chronic illness on psychological resilience in adults in Indonesia.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Recent research on the effect of chronic illness on psychological resilience in adults in Indonesia indicates that chronic illnesses significantly impact psychological well-being and resilience. Studies reveal that individuals with chronic conditions often experience decreased resilience due to increased stress and reduced coping abilities. However, factors such as strong social support, effective coping strategies, and access to mental health resources can mitigate these negative effects. For instance, patients with robust social networks and adaptive coping mechanisms show higher levels of psychological resilience despite their chronic conditions.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Stress and coping theory, conservation of resources (COR) theory & self-determination theory (SDT) may be used to anchor future studies on the effect of chronic illness on psychological resilience in adults in Indonesia. Healthcare providers should implement resilience training programs that equip individuals with chronic illnesses with practical skills to enhance their psychological resilience. Policymakers should integrate psychological resilience into chronic illness management policies by mandating the inclusion of mental health support as a core component of chronic disease care.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze impact of gender-specific marketing on consumer purchasing behavior in Philippines.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Recent studies on the impact of gender-specific marketing on consumer purchasing behavior in the Philippines reveal that tailoring marketing strategies to gender preferences significantly influences buying decisions. Research indicates that campaigns designed with gender-specific appeals are more effective in resonating with target audiences, thereby enhancing engagement and driving sales. For instance, marketing messages emphasizing traditional gender roles or specific lifestyle aspirations often result in higher purchase intentions among female consumers, while campaigns highlighting strength and technology tend to appeal more to male consumers.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social role theory, consumer culture theory (CCT) & theory of planned behavior (TPB) may be used to anchor future studies on the impact of gender-specific marketing on consumer purchasing behavior in Philippines. Organizations should implement mentorship programs tailored to the specific needs of women in different sectors and career stages. Policymakers and organizations should develop and enforce structured mentorship policies that include regular evaluations, clear objectives, and accountability measures.
