Published: February 2025

Related Learning Experience (RLE) is a major and vital aspect of the nursing curriculum. It is where students are molded and trained to be competent, effective and efficient future nurses. It is also where teamwork and collaboration with the health team is developed and honed. From clinical practice in the hospitals, clinics and communities, significant learnings can create challenges in handling new environments, diverse patients, demanding classmates and clinical instructors; but all these are consequential for nursing students’ competency and training in critical and problem-solving techniques. This study investigated the nursing students' perceptions on the impact of clinical learning experience that contributed to competent nursing work performance. Online questionnaires were administered to one hundred (100) respondents. Quantitative content analysis was used to analyze the data. Results of the study indicated that having sufficient, efficient and meaningful clinical practice as undergraduates can propel them to successful work competencies and job placement. Results of the study revolved on areas of clinical efficiency, critical thinking, problem-solving and social-moral support provided by academically qualified, and competent clinical instructors were factors contributing to creating skilled nurses who show genuine care about their patients, performing work with great efficiency, and caring with empathy and compassion.

Published: February 2025

Modern lifestyles necessitate adaptation to contemporary technologies, as approximately 80% of our time is spent indoors or in vehicles. This raises significant concerns about indoor air quality, including issues like particles, dust, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), harmful gases, unpleasant odors, and biological contaminants such as airborne viruses and bacteria. Car air filters play a crucial role in trapping dirt particles that can negatively impact engine performance and longevity. They also purify the air inside the cabin, significantly enhancing passenger health. In developed countries, around 80% of cars utilize nanotechnology-based filters that effectively eliminate odors and trap fine particles. This study aims to examine the impact of air pressure on engine performance using both clean and dirty air filters. Research indicates that dirty air filters lead to increased fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions while diminishing engine performance. Specifically, fuel consumption rises and exhaust gas temperatures increase with dirty filters. In modern cars equipped with electronic pressure transducers, notable pressure differences between clean and dirty filters are observed. For carburetor engines, dirty filters markedly reduce acceleration performance. Consequently, maintaining clean air filters is vital for optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions, while nanotechnology filters enhance filtration and improve overall vehicle performance.

Published: February 2025

Background: The university is an academic community of diverse disciplines saddled with the responsibility of ensuring transfer of knowledge to the younger generation in a structured manner. The aim of this study was to evaluate academic writings and the associated impediments among academicians in Port Harcourt, Nigeria over a period of three years. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in educational institutions of higher learning in Port Harcourt, Nigeria from November 2021 to April 2022. A total of 438 academic staff were recruited using self-administered questionnaire and a multi-stage sampling technique. Collected data were entered into Microsoft Excel® and analyzed with SPSS version 25 to compute summary statistics. Chi-square test was used to test differences in proportions, and to test association between variables, at a significant level of 5%. Results: The mean age of respondents was 43.5years (95% CI = 42.69 or 44.27), while the male: female ratio was 2:1. Twenty-nine (5.8%) reported having published 50 or more academic papers. The majority (n = 181, 36.1%) reported the frequency of publication as 2-4 publications per year. Lack of funds for research (n=346, 69.1%), lack of time for research (n = 230, 52.5%), societal distractions (n = 105, 24.0%), poor knowledge of reference management software (n = 102, 20.4%), were the most common impediments. Conclusion: This study shows that challenges still exist among academicians from idea conceptualization to journal publication. Intensifying the drive for academic workshop in manuscript writing and reference management software is highly recommended.
The Pragmatic Functions of Code-Switching in Teacher-Student Conflict: A Study of EFL Classroom Exchanges in Cameroon
Authors: Hagbe Edwige Damaris
Published: February 2025

In the context of EFL teaching, teachers often make it a principle to avoid the first language of the learners as much as possible. However, it is generally remarked that, in situations of teacher-student conflicts, a good number of EFL teachers in Cameroon use French systematically to perform a myriad of acts: trans language turns into a powerful resource. This therefore means that code switching, which is the usual bone of contention between EFL teachers and students, becomes a weapon. The present article focuses on the use of code switching in EFL classes. It seeks to find out how EFL teachers and students code-switch in the context of conflicts; it equally aims at discovering their pragmatic functions as well as their perlocutionary effects. The data collection method was classroom observation in 35 classes. A total of 73 hours of English were observed and recorded in 20 secondary schools located in 6 regions of Cameroon. Upon transcription of the recorded lessons, 70 teacher-student classroom exchanges were selected for the purpose of analysis in accordance with Austin & Searle’s theory of speech acts and Leech‘s theory of politeness. The findings revealed that though code-switching is generally avoided during English classes but it is frequently used by EFL teachers and students in classroom conflict situations in Cameroon. It was equally found out that there exists a correlation between language use and teacher-student conflict in the EFL class in Cameroon

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) is a significant public health problem, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia. Early childhood feeding practices are recognized as major risk factors, but prospective data from specific regions like Medan, Indonesia, are limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between various feeding practices and the development of S-ECC in a cohort of children in Medan.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted involving 450 mother-child dyads recruited from Posyandu (integrated health posts) in Medan, Indonesia. Baseline data on maternal demographics, socioeconomic status, oral health knowledge, and infant feeding practices were collected via questionnaires and interviews. Children were followed up at 6-month intervals for 36 months. Dental examinations were performed by calibrated dentists using the dmft index (decayed, missing, filled teeth) to diagnose S-ECC. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to analyze the association between feeding practices and S-ECC development, adjusting for potential confounders.
Results: The incidence of S-ECC at 36 months was 38.2% (n=172). Prolonged bottle feeding (beyond 12 months) (Hazard Ratio [HR] = 2.15; 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.55-2.98; p<0.001), nocturnal bottle feeding with sweetened liquids (HR = 2.85; 95% CI: 2.01-4.03; p<0.001), and frequent consumption of sugary snacks/drinks (≥3 times/day) (HR = 1.92; 95% CI: 1.38-2.67; p<0.001) were significantly associated with an increased risk of S-ECC. Exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months showed a protective effect (HR = 0.62; 95% CI: 0.45-0.86; p=0.004), even after adjusting for socioeconomic status and maternal oral health knowledge.
Conclusion: This study confirms the significant impact of early childhood feeding practices on S-ECC development in Medan, Indonesia. Prolonged and nocturnal bottle feeding, particularly with sweetened liquids, and frequent consumption of sugary snacks/drinks were key risk factors. Promoting exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months and educating mothers about appropriate feeding practices are crucial for S-ECC prevention in this population.

Vers une alimentation durable en aquaculture : le cas des coproduits de thon
Authors: Pedrero Zayas Zoyne , Besombes Julie , Baert Simon , Nappey Fabien
Published: February 2025

La pollution au mercure est considérée aujourd’hui comme un problème environnemental majeur. En raison de son extrême toxicité, l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) a récemment inclus le mercure parmi les dix composés chimiques les plus préoccupants pour la santé publique. Chez l’Homme, l’alimentation est considérée comme la principale voie d’exposition au mercure, notamment à cause de la consommation de poissons et de fruits de mer. Dans ces derniers, le mercure est principalement présent sous une forme organique, encore plus toxique: le méthylmercure. Les taux de méthylmercure sont biomagnifiés à travers la chaîne trophique. Autrement dit, ils s’accroissent progressivement dans les organismes, entraînant en conséquence de graves effets sanitaires, environnementaux et sociaux pour les humains. Parallèlement, l’aquaculture est progressivement devenue une industrie alternative à la pêche permettant de fournir des produits de la mer, en particulier des poissons. Sa capacité de rendement lui a d’ailleurs permis de démontrer son rôle crucial dans la réponse aux enjeux de sécurité alimentaire mondiale.

Published: February 2025

The study aims to analyse determinant factors influencing environmental responsibility in the tourism sector, especially community-based tourism (tourism villages). It explores the influence of place attachment, place identity and environmental knowledge on tourists' environmental responsibility by using socially responsible behaviour and personal norms as moderating variables. The quantitative research method tested casual hypotheses as unified model data from 210 tourists who visited 3 tourist villages in the Yogyakarta area, namely Bleberan, Pakarsari and Nglinggo. The data was analysed using SEM-LISREL 8. Research findings revealed that place attachment, identity, and environmental knowledge directly influence responsible behaviour. The study also found that destination social responsibility moderates the influence of place dependence on environmental responsibility, but it does not moderate the influence of place identity on environmental responsibility. An interesting finding from this research is that personal norms moderate the influence of environmental knowledge on responsible behaviour. Research findings can contribute to understanding tourists' environmental responsibility by comprehensively using a unified structural model, considering aspects of place attachment and knowledge about the environment as determinants that are strengthened by social responsibility and personal norms that influence responsible tourist behavior.
Can Rural E-Commerce Become the Adhesive Between Urban and Rural Areas in the Digital Age?
Authors: Wang Xinyue
Published: February 2025

The most difficult job still rests in rural areas: promoting rural regeneration extensively and building a socialist modernized nation. The development of rural and agricultural regions must be given priority in the future, in addition to facilitating the transfer of urban and rural components and integrating urban and rural development. The Taobao village and Theil index provincial panel data from 31 Chinese provinces between 2014 and 2022 as the foundation for our investigation. Using a fixed effects model and multiple linear regression approach, the effects of expanding rural e-commerce on the income gap between urban and rural regions and the return of the rural population are explored. The findings demonstrate that e-commerce in rural areas expanding may raise the return on investment for rural populations while also reducing the difference in income between those living in cities and rural areas. Nonetheless, there remains a considerable disparity in wealth between the countryside and the cities in several of our nation's provinces, and these inequalities vary greatly from year to year. The level of development of rural e-commerce varies significantly between different locations, with the general level of development falling between moderate and poor.

Published: February 2025

Religious harmony at regional level is actually the key to maintaining religious harmony at the national level. Therefore, religious harmony at the regency level needs to have valid data for various purposes of mitigating religious conflicts and handling them. One of the purposes is by measuring the religious harmony index in Tegal Regency. By using a survey method in four sub-districts with a high level of religious plurality (Adiwerna Sub-district, Slawi Sub-district, Kramat Sub-district and Pangkah Sub-district), it can be seen that the index of religious harmony in the dimensions of religious tolerance is 3.29, equality of religious rights is 3.34, inter-religious cooperation is 3.39 and government regulatory support is 3.29 with a measurement scale of 1-4. However, this study also shows the ripples of horizontal conflict related to the permit to establish a house of worship of the Catholic church in Adiwerna Subdistrict. Of course, this is the data that needs to be elaborated and parsed for stakeholders in Tegal Regency. It was also revealed that the classic issue of saying happy feast day among religious communities became another part of the problem of religious harmony that needed to be mitigated and accompanied by strengthening literacy about religious moderation.

Published: February 2025

Mapping students' mathematical abilities is crucial for mathematics teachers, especially when dealing with slow learners or those showing signs of being slow learners within a classroom. This step allows teachers to gauge each student's initial understanding and skills, enabling them to design appropriate and effective teaching strategies. By understanding students' initial abilities, teachers can provide additional support and differentiate instruction for slow learners, ensuring they stay engaged and do not fall behind in the learning process. Moreover, mapping abilities aids in designing challenging materials for more advanced students, fostering an inclusive and adaptive learning environment for all ability levels. This research aims to analyze the need for developing a cognitive diagnostic test instrument that can help teachers map students' mathematical abilities in essential topics while serving as an early identification tool for students showing signs of slow learning in mathematics. The study adopts a quantitative approach, collecting data through questionnaire. Respondents, consisting of 122 high school mathematics teachers from various regions in Indonesia, provide their perceptions regarding the need for a cognitive diagnostic test instrument capable of assessing students' mathematical abilities in essential topics and identifying those indicating slow learning in mathematics. Therefore, further research on developing a cognitive diagnostic test instrument capable of assessing students' mathematical abilities in essential topics and identifying those indicating slow learning in mathematics is deemed essential to fulfill these educational needs.

Research on cellular and molecular biomechanics-inspired enhancement of visual communication in medical product design via graphic processing algorithm optimization
Authors: Li Junlin
Published: February 2025

The computational complexity of graphic processing algorithms is increasing under the continuous development of information technology. At the same time, the medical product design field puts forward higher and higher requirements on the visual communication effect of related images. In this study, the up-sampling optimization algorithm and the threshold filtering algorithm are proposed to optimize the Laplacian graphics processing algorithm. Notably, in the threshold filtering algorithm, the Triangle algorithm is employed to address the grayscale of images pertinent to medical product design. The perception of the grayscale and binarized images by the human visual system triggers neural signals that propagate and can influence intracellular processes. When observing medical product images, neurons fire, leading to the release of neurotransmitters like glutamate. These neurotransmitters bind to receptors on cells, initiating signaling cascades such as the MAPK pathway. This pathway can affect gene expression and protein synthesis, potentially modulating cellular functions related to perception and response to the medical product design. The results show that the optimized graphical processing algorithms in this paper outperform the comparison algorithms in the CLBLAS library, and the floating-point computational values of the Laplacian algorithm are much higher than the comparison algorithms in the face of the large-scale input parameters. The Laplacian algorithm is able to accurately stitch and process the captured 2D images of cellular microtubules related to the design of the medical products in a guaranteed high efficiency (31 min), and The Laplacian algorithm was able to achieve an average subjective score of 0.856 for the visual communication of medical product design images. This graphic processing algorithm can generate images of superior perceptual quality, which holds substantial significance for augmenting the visual communication effect of medical product design images and considering the underlying cellular molecular biomechanical responses.

Un sistema financiero internacional en transición: integración y vulnerabilidad
Authors:   Analistas Financieros Internacionales, Ontiveros Emilio
Published: February 2025

Los intensos flujos de capitales hacia la economía estadounidense, que en 2001 recibió más de dos tercios de las exportaciones netas de capitales internacionales, han contribuido a que muchas empresas de otros países industrializados se hayan convertido en copropietarias de compañías estadounidenses. Como consecuencia de este proceso, hemos asistido a una creciente simetría de los resultados empresariales y a una mayor sincronización de los ciclos económicos. Este fenómeno no sólo se advierte entre las principales economías de la OCDE, sino también con los países en desarrollo. Esta mayor integración aumenta la vulnerabilidad ante las crisis económicas y financieras, como se ha puesto de manifiesto en la última década. Para facilitar la gestión y mejorar la anticipación de futuros episodios de crisis se hace necesaria una mayor inserción de las economías en desarrollo en la esfera internacional condicionando los procesos de apertura y liberalización financiera de dichas economías a la disposición de las instituciones nacionales con la calidad suficiente y la reforma de las instituciones financieras internacionales.

Published: February 2025

El objetivo de este trabajo es contribuir a explicar la trascendencia y duración de la crisis bancaria en Japón. Existe una amplia coincidencia en señalar al retraso en la adopción de medidas como el factor fundamental explicativo. A su vez, los problemas bancarios han bloqueado los canales de transmisión normales de los impulsos emitidos por el banco central. Los efectos de las dificultades del sistema bancario japonés sobre la economía japonesa deben considerarse teniendo en cuenta la extraordinaria dependencia de las empresas japonesas del crédito bancario, establecido sobre las bases de confianza y relación. La resolución de la crisis bancaria que obligará al adelgazamiento y a la profunda reordenación del sector bancario japonés y del conjunto del sistema financiero e institucional, constituye un requisito esencial para imprimir dinamismo a su economía y superar la larga etapa de estancamiento.

Los clusters regionales con frecuencia representan un activo económico de primer orden por su capacidad de potenciar la eficiencia de las empresas y de atraer inversión. Muchos países europeos intentan aplicar políticas de clusters, pero la variedad de situaciones y, sobretodo, la fragmentación de enfoques analíticos, dificulta el avance en el conocimiento de las fuerzas fundamentales que operan en los clusters y en cómo manejarlas. En este artículo se identifican algunas líneas teóricas que podrían dotar de mayor rigor analítico los estudios de caso, y mejorar así las políticas de clusters.
'Clusters y territorio: retos del desarrollo local en la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco
Authors:   Universidad de Deusto, Larrea Aranguren Miren
Published: February 2025

El artículo presenta un análisis del territorio de la CAPV desde una perspectiva basada en las aportaciones de Alfred Marshall y su posterior interpretación por parte de la escuela italiana. Ello permite plantear la hipótesis de que las áreas funcionales con sistemas o subsistemas marshallianos, es decir, con una especialización industrial marcada y una intensidad considerable de relaciones interempresariales, han generado un modelo específico de agencia de desarrollo local con mayor orientación a labores de dinamización de redes territoriales. Posteriormente, se analizan algunos de los retos que las administraciones públicas tienen para dar respuesta a las necesidades del tejido empresarial y se argumenta que la capacidad dinamizadora de las agencias citada anteriormente puede ser un elemento clave para materializar las políticas definidas a niveles superiores.

POMPE DISEASE: A DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF MYOPATHY IN THE ELDERLY
Authors: Oliveira Andreia Lira de , Galvão Maria de Lourdes de Souza
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT: Pompe disease is a genetic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, related to dysfunction of the enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase. It presents in two classical forms: the infantile-onset form, for patients who develop symptoms before the age of 2, and the late-onset form, for those who begin to show symptoms after this age. The childhood onset tends to be more severe and fatal, whereas the late-onset form manifests a myopathic phenotype, with axial and respiratory involvement. Diagnosis should be established by the evidence of acid alpha-glucosidase dysfunction in blood samples or through genetic testing. Enzyme replacement therapy is the current pharmacological treatment for this condition. In this article, we describe the case of an elderly woman who developed weakness in the lower limbs in the 7th decade of life, and after etiological investigation, a compound heterozygous mutation in the gene encoding acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) was demonstrated. This highlights the need for awareness of metabolic causes of myopathies in elderly patients who present late-onset proximal limb weakness, with respiratory involvement.

Introdução: A artroplastia total do joelho (ATJ) é um dos procedimentos ortopédicos mais realizados globalmente, principalmente em pacientes com osteoartrite avançada. Apesar de sua eficácia na melhora da função articular e alívio da dor, o tromboembolismo venoso (TEV) representa uma das principais complicações pós-operatórias, podendo levar a morbidade significativa e aumento da mortalidade. A profilaxia anticoagulante é essencial para reduzir esses riscos, e diferentes classes de fármacos são utilizadas na prevenção do TEV. Metodologia: Este estudo utilizou uma revisão integrativa, analisando publicações entre 2019 e 2024, obtidas na base de dados PubMed. Foram utilizados os descritores MeSH: "Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee", "Knee Prosthesis", "Anticoagulants", "Heparin, Low-Molecular-Weight", "Rivaroxaban", "Venous Thrombosis", "Deep Vein Thrombosis" e "Pulmonary Embolism". Após triagem e análise dos textos completos, 17 artigos foram selecionados para a discussão. Resultados e Discussão: A profilaxia do TEV em ATJ reduziu significativamente a incidência de trombose venosa profunda (TVP) e embolia pulmonar (EP). As heparinas de baixo peso molecular (HBPMs) e os anticoagulantes orais diretos (ACODs), como a rivaroxabana, demonstraram alta eficácia, dispensando monitoramento laboratorial frequente. A aspirina também se mostrou uma alternativa viável devido ao seu baixo custo e perfil de segurança. Novos anticoagulantes, como os inibidores do fator XI, apresentam potencial promissor na prevenção do TEV. Apesar dos avanços, o risco de sangramento e a necessidade de individualização da profilaxia permanecem desafios relevantes. Conclusão: A escolha do anticoagulante na profilaxia do TEV após ATJ deve equilibrar eficácia e segurança, considerando fatores individuais do paciente. Embora as HBPMs e os ACODs sejam amplamente utilizados, a aspirina tem ganhado espaço como alternativa viável. Pesquisas futuras são necessárias para aprimorar estratégias profiláticas, especialmente com o desenvolvimento de novos anticoagulantes.

Published: February 2025

The translation of proper names in literature is a critical aspect of the broader process of translation, a conduit for conveying cultural meanings, symbols, and identities which has attracted sparse considerations in research. This study explores the translation strategies used in the rendering of proper names in D.O. Fágúnwà’s works, specifically focusing on place names and person names, as analyzed through Vinay and Darbelnet’s translation procedures and Nyström’s onomastic theory. By examining the translation of Yoruba proper names in Fágúnwà's texts, this study investigates the delicate balance translators must maintain between preserving the cultural, symbolic, and linguistic integrity of the source text while making the translated names comprehensible to the target audience. The study highlights various strategies, including borrowing, adaptation, literal translation, and modulation, and their relevance in a Yoruba-English context. Through detailed examples, the research demonstrates how each strategy works to either retain or transform cultural significance, ensuring that the essence of the original text is conveyed to an English-speaking audience. By applying the theoretical frameworks of Vinay and Darbelnet and Nyström, the study provides valuable insights into the complexities of translating proper names in literary works and emphasizes the critical role of these names in cross-cultural communication and identity. The findings suggest that the translator’s choices are central to both the preservation of cultural richness and the accessibility of the text, with implications for further research in translation studies and onomastics.
