Authors: Kim Min-Hyo , Lee Yaeji , Linton John Alderman , Song Youhyun , Lee Ji-Won
Published: January 2024

Background: Physical activity (PA) is associated with a favorable metabolic risk profile in adults. However, its role in adolescents remains unclear. In this study, using data (2019–2021) from the 8th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, we investigated the optimal exercise type for preventing metabolic complications in adolescents.Methods: A total of 1,222 eligible adolescent participants (12–18-year-old) were divided into four groups as follows: aerobic exercise (AE), resistance exercise (RE), combined aerobic and resistance exercise (CE), and no exercise (NE). Daily PA was assessed using the international PA questionnaire. Blood samples were collected to measure lipid, glucose, and insulin levels. Additionally, the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) indices were measured. Multivariate regression analysis was used to compare the metabolic risk factors across the PA groups before and after propensity score matching (PSM) adjustment for confounding variables.Results: The CE group exhibited improved fasting glucose levels, lower TyG index, reduced white blood cell count, and higher high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels than the NE group. The RE group exhibited lower mean blood pressure, triglyceride, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, TyG index and a reduced risk of metabolic syndrome than the NE group. The AE group had higher total and HDL cholesterol levels. In detailed comparison of the AE and RE groups, the RE group consistently exhibited favorable metabolic parameters, including lower blood pressure and total and low-density cholesterol levels, which persisted after PSM.Conclusion: These findings highlight the positive effects of PA on cardiovascular risk factors in adolescents. Thus, RE may have a more favorable metabolic effect than AE. Further studies are needed to validate the benefits of exercise according to the exercise type.

Published: January 2024

Background: Osteoporosis is one of the inevitable diseases affecting an aging society, substantially impacting the quality of life of its population. Protein intake has been shown to be beneficial in reducing the incidence of osteoporosis, and the effects of both animal and vegetable proteins have been studied. However, the relationship between processed meat consumption and osteoporosis has not been studied in Korea. Therefore, we aimed to analyze the correlation between processed meat consumption and incident osteoporosis in adults.Methods: Our analysis included 1,260 adults aged 50 years and older from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES), recruited between 2005 and 2020. Participants were categorized into two groups according to their processed meat intake, assessed using a semi-quantitative 103-food item food frequency questionnaire. Diagnosis of osteoporosis was based on questionnaire answers. Multiple Cox hazard regression analyses were conducted to examine the association between processed meat intake and incident osteoporosis.Results: During an average follow-up period of 8.8 years, 230 participants developed osteoporosis. According to the Cox proportional regression models, the hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) of incident osteoporosis in the high intake group was 0.62 (0.41–0.94), compared to the low intake group after adjusting for confounding variables.Conclusion: These findings reveal that processed meat protein intake is inversely related to the incidence of osteoporosis in adults aged 50 years and older. This in turn suggests that processed meat intake can be proposed as an additional strategy to prevent osteoporosis.

Zoonotic human infections with Ancylostoma ceylanicum have recently been reported in the Americas. We used archived human stool samples to study the geographic distribution of human infections with A. ceylanicum and anthropophilic hookworms in different geoclimatic regions (coastal, Andean, and Amazon) of Ecuador. We analyzed retrospectively archived human stool samples from five studies previously screened for hookworm infection by microscopy, of which four included hookworm-positive samples only and one involved hookworm-negative samples to increase geographic distribution of sampling. Stools were analyzed using multi-parallel quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays to detect Necator americanus, Ancylostoma duodenale, A. ceylanicum, Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and Strongyloides stercoralis. Sequencing was done for the A. ceylanicum cox1 gene. A total of 132 samples were analyzed, of which 69 (52.3%) were from hookworm-positive and 63 (47.7%) from hookworm-negative individuals by microscopy. Overall, 82.6% of microscopy-positive samples and 33.3% of microscopy-negative samples were positive for hookworm by qPCR. Of microscopy-positive samples, 36.2% were A. ceylanicum, 37.7% A. duodenale, and 33.3% N. americanus, whereas equivalent proportions for microscopy-negative samples were 1.6%, 31.7%, and 1.6%, respectively. Ancylostoma duodenale was the most widely dispersed geographically, followed by N. americanus. Ancylostoma ceylanicum was least dispersed but was detected in coastal and Amazon regions. In conclusion, human infections with A. ceylanicum, A. duodenale, and N. americanus were detected in different geoclimatic regions of Ecuador. Additional studies are required to further define the epidemiology of human A. ceylanicum infections, but the potentially widespread presence of this helminth in human populations in Ecuador has implications for hookworm control strategies.
The territorial logic of an export-led growth strategy: Israel’s regime change after the Second Intifada
Authors: Krampf Arie
Published: January 2024

In recent decades, neo-mercantilism has become ubiquitous among small and large states. The conventional explanation for the appeal of an export-led growth regime has focused on the material interests of domestic growth coalitions. This article offers an alternative explanation for transition to export-led growth strategies, based on the geopolitical and territorial interests of states. It posits that states embrace a mercantilist export-led growth model because it aligns with their geopolitical objectives. The article demonstrates the geopolitical hypothesis based on the transition of Israel from a consumption-led to an export-led growth strategy after the end of the peace process and the outbreak of the Second Intifada in 2000.

Gridhrasi is a common condition characterized by sequential pain that starts from the (buttock region) of Sphik Pradesh and radiates down to the foot. It can be correlated with Sciatica, radiating pain from the back to the lower limb with paraesthesia. The present case report is of a 43-year-old male patient, unable to walk due to se-vere back pain radiating to his left ankle. As per the previous MRI report, the patient had an established case of prolapse of the intervertebral disc (PIVD) with radiculopathy and took treatment at a private allopathic hospital, and they advised him to have surgery. The patient and his attendant refused surgery and came to our hospital. The patient was treated with Siravedha and oral medications. After improvement, the patient was maintained on back strengthening exercises. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, comfortable walking distance, Straight Leg Raise (SLR) test, and % relief reported by the patient were used as assessment criteria. The patient was relieved from all symptoms with a follow-up period of 1 year. This case report shows that Siravedha and Ayurvedic oral management is very effective in Gridhrasi (PIVD with Radiculopathy). Hence, this treatment can be minimally cost-effective as a day-care procedure and protects the patient from surgical intervention.

Authors: Tanuwijaya Samuel
Published: January 2024

Energy, as an inexhaustible phenomenon, undergoes transformations through various forms to meet human needs. Some forms of energy are challenging to harness for reuse, necessitating a combination of energy generators to enhance electricity production from renewable sources such as heat and water. The utilization of Ocean Wave Energy Converter (OWC) emerges as one solution, harnessing the phenomena of waves and air pressure to drive generators. The generated electrical output does not have to be large, as long as it can produce heat through coils. This heat is then used to warm thermoelectric materials, generating electricity that can be stored in the Powerhouse Storage. A holistic approach is employed to harness renewable energy efficiently and sustainably to meet electrical needs.

Marine activity is a critical part of an oil & gas company that operates in the swamp area. The company utilizes rigs, barges, and boats to achieve maximum production. Fuel supply for marine fleets is highly essential to ensure smooth operation. Since fuel cost becomes one of the biggest components of operating expenses (OPEX), the stakeholders highly encourage cost optimization programs to ensure business profitability. However, any optimization program shall have a robust risk management program to avoid disturbance in the operation and potential financial losses. The research aims to select the best fuel supply network in the swamp operation area of an oil & gas company using four criteria (operational expenses, service reliability, value creation, and health safety & environment) based on the literature review and subject matter experts’ analysis. The study will analyze several alternatives using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a decision-making tool and Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) as the risk management method. The result shows that the hybrid network has the highest rating in AHP with a 33.7% rating and the lowest total risk priority number with 212 points.

Herpes zoster (HZ) is caused by the reactivation of the latent varicella zoster virus (vZv). The cause of reactivation may be associated with predisposing factors such as age, stress or the impaired immune system and an association with autoimmune diseases has been seen. Its clinical presentation is characterized by the appearance of multiple vesicles that rupture quickly, leaving small, very painful ulcers that are distributed respecting specific dermatomes. The diagnosis in most cases is clinical, and complementary tests may be necessary and differential diagnoses may be excluded in cases of atypical presentation. The main sequelae after the disappearance of skin signs is postherpetic neuralgia, which is more common in the elderly. Early diagnosis and rapid initiation of treatment determine the prognosis, especially in immunocompromised individuals. In this work we report a case of atypical clinical presentation in a woman with autoimmune disease, immunocompromised and belonging to the elderly population, being a clear example of the patient in whom special attention should be paid when establishing the diagnosis with the aim of emphasizing early detection and rapid establishment of appropriate treatment, avoiding deleterious outcomes.

This study aims to reveal cross-cultural communication strategies between local people and foreign tourists in Pakudui Village, which is nicknamed “Garuda Village”. Pakudui Ecotourism Village is visited by many foreign tourists to see handicrafts and ask various questions related to these crafts. Language and cultural differences often hinder the formation of effective communication, but both communicants try to understand each other. This study uses a qualitative method with an interpretative analysis. This study found that cross-cultural communication strategies are based on three principles, namely clarity of purpose, communication management, and thinking of the interlocutor carefully. They manage communication with the principle of mutual understanding so they tend to use common English vocabulary, pay little attention to grammar, and use body language. They also try not to offend the other person by paying attention to each other's responses during the conversation. Thus, cross-cultural communication can build understanding and not cause conflict due to misperceptions and miscommunication.

This paper examined the influence of nurturing as a masculinity-femininity dimension on performance of multinational corporations (MNCs) in Uganda. Specifically, it focused on aspects of nurturing that included relationship building and negotiations as key attributes to strategic business performance. The justification for this study was that MNCs in Uganda were under-performing given that they were finding it difficult to continue running their businesses profitably to the extent that some decided to close down. A cross-sectional research design that relied on quantitative approach was employed involving 50 participants who filled in a questionnaire. Two methods of analysis involved simple regression analysis and a multiple regression analysis. Results revealed that both relationship building and negotiations had significant positive influence on performance of MNCs in Uganda. In particular, poor work relationship building and work negotiations among MNCs’ employees contributed to poor performance of MNCs in Uganda. The study recommends MNCs to align their strategic vision and mission towards nurturing to instilling employee work relationship building and negotiations toward achieving the objectives of the MNCs.

Vocational High Schools (SMK) are required to promote schools to the maximum, because no matter how good a school is, if it is not supported it will have an impact on the popularity of the school and the minimum number of students. The Private School Admissions Strategy for New Students (PPDB) is something that requires serious planning and implementation. PPDB activities cannot be separated from improving school performance in the community. In the digital era, sales promotion actions no longer depend on traditional sales promotions and communication strategies, but on digital marketing via the internet. Based on this description, research is needed with the aims of: (1) analyzing the PPDB promotion strategy implemented at SMK Muhammadiyah Lumajang so far; (2) developing a PPDB promotion strategy at SMK Muhammadiyah Lumajang; (3) analyze the feasibility of developing a PPDB promotion strategy at SMK Muhammadiyah Lumajang. The type of research is Research and Development (R&D) to develop new products or improve existing products.

Improving the response to disasters by enhancing the incident command system
Authors: Bradley-Smith Karen , Tippett Vivienne , Gerald FitzGerald
Published: January 2024

Climate change is having a significant effect on disasters worldwide. In response, societies have attempted to mitigate the consequences by developing standardised arrangements, known as incident command systems. Many of these systems have a military heritage using hierarchical command-and-control principles that are authoritative by nature and fit well within bureaucratic organisations. While emergency services agencies have embraced these incident command systems, other agencies have not, thereby making the multi-agency response to disasters challenging. This research investigated current incident command systems to develop an improved framework that includes all agencies and improves the multi-agency response to emergencies and disasters. A multi-modal qualitative research approach was undertaken using a literature review, semi-structured interviews with informants and a policy analysis of recent disaster reviews and inquires. This combined data informed the development of 4 options for improvements to the multi-agency response and consolidated the issues into 5 domains. These domains and options for improvement were presented to a panel of experts at the strategic level of emergency and disaster management by way of a 2-round modified Delphi study. This paper reports on the final phase of the research; the policy analysis and modified Delphi study. The most significant outcome of this research was a new level of understanding of strengths and weakness of the incident command system. This contributed to the development of a new conceptual framework based on modifications to the incident command system principles.
