Authors: Wijayanti Ariyani Wahyu , Lusyana Dila , Insani Salman Faris , Riani Asri Laksmi , Wanday Wimby
Published: October 2024

Objective: This study delves into the influence of Entrepreneurial Leadership (EL) and Creative Self-Efficacy (CSE) on Innovative Work Behavior (IWB) among employees in organizations. Moreover, the study examines the mediating effect of CSE in the connection between EL and IWB.
 
Theoretical Framework: The study emphasizes how EL boosts IWB through enhancing CSE, fostering a culture of creativity and entrepreneurship. CSE acts as a mediator in translating EL's influence on IWB, highlighting the crucial role of leadership support and belief in driving innovation for organizational success.
 
Method: Research questionnaires were distributed to marketing employees via Google Forms, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to test hypotheses regarding the influence of independent variables on mediation and dependent variables.
 
Results and Discussion: The model's fit shows a mixed result, with some measures acceptable and others indicating issues. EL does not directly impact IWB but significantly enhances CSE, which then affects IWB. EL influences IWB indirectly through CSE, supporting Sarwoko (2020) and Mehmood et al. (2020) findings that EL boosts employees' creativity confidence, improving CSE.
 
Research Implications: This research emphasizes the crucial role of EL in promoting an IWB through improving employees' CSE. It emphasizes the significance of leadership development in marketing organizations to enhance employees' confidence and creativity, indicating that EL, through CSE, can greatly impact innovation.
 
Originality/Value: This study provides new empirical evidence on how EL affects IWB among marketing employees in the Solo Raya region, focusing on the mediating role of CSE.

Published: October 2024

Mental toughness is a concept that has been considered a critical feature of sporting success. However, there are still conceptual issues related to its traitness and its relationship with sporting performance that remain unresolved. Consequently, the objective of this research is to contrast empirically whether the eventual changes in MT and its relationships with competition phases and sporting performance can sustain the notion of MT as a state or a trait. A longitudinal study included 12 male Chilean rugby players, aged 18-33 years, which regularly competed at the highest national level. The results indicated that there are no significant differences in mental toughness between the four measurements taken in the study and that the competitive phase did not predict mental toughness properties enduring across contexts and time. In addition, the data showed that mental toughness is an important predictor of relevant behavioural variables and sporting performance.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: Global Positioning System (GPS) technology provide quantifiable data concerning the number and types of movements athletes complete across training session and match player. The Titan 1+ is a novel GPS device that has not been investigated to establish measures of accuracy or reliability. The purpose of this study was to establish device accuracy for metrics including distance, top speed, and time between the Titan 1+ 10 Hz GPS device and criterion measures. Criterion measures include tape measure, stopwatch, and radar gun for measures of distance, time, and top speed, respectively.
Methods and Materials: 16 male NCAA collegiate soccer players completed running protocols of varying distances and speeds, including long and short duration straight-line running (100m Run and SLR), tight and gradual change of direction running (COD T and COD G), and a team-sport simulated circuit.
Results: The Titan 1+ was not significantly different from tape measured distance during the SLR protocol for 10m jog and all movements speed across 20m and 40m (p < .05). The Titan 1+ was significantly correlated to radar gun top speed measures for all distances and movement speeds during the SLR (p < .01). The Titan 1+ was significantly different from the stopwatch for measures of time accuracy (p < .0001), however significant correlations were identified for all jogging distances (p < .01), the 20m and 40m strides (p < .01), and the 10m sprint (p < .01). COD G and COD T distances were accurately measured between the Titan 1+ and tape measure (p < .05). The Titan 1+ revealed correlations for time measures during jogging and striding during the COD G (p = .001 and p < .0001) and during the COD T (p < .0001 and p< .0001). Device accuracy was established for measure of time during the TSSC (p < .05), with time measures significantly correlated between the Titan 1+ and stopwatch (p < .01). Top speed for the TSSC was significantly different between the radar gun and Titan 1+ device (p = .001), but both devices were significantly correlated (p < .01).
Conclusions: The results of the present study indicate that the Titan 1+ demonstrates accurate measures of time, distance, and top speed when compared to criterion measures.

Authors:   ENT Department, Military Hospital of Tunis, Tunisia, Mezri Sameh
Published: October 2024

The coexistence of tuberculosis and malignancy in the same lymph node is very uncommon. The purpose of this article was to discuss, through our cases, clinical features and treatment options of this condition. We conducted a retrospective study including cases of concomitant tuberculosis and malignancy within the same cervical lymph node treated between 2008 and 2022. The study included ten patients. They received or were receiving treatment for cancer or tuberculosis in seven cases. All patients presented with recurrent or new lymph nodes despite being under treatment. The three remaining patients had no history of cancer or tuberculosis. The histopathological exam confirmed the coexistence of tuberculosis and malignancy within the same lymph node. Histological types of the diagnosed cancers included: laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, papillary thyroid carcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, medullary carcinoma of the thyroid gland, Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and diffuse large B cell lymphoma. All patients received treatment for tuberculosis and cancer. Average duration of antituberculosis treatment was eight months (6-12). Two patients were dead because septic complication in one case and for pulmonary complication due to miliary tuberculosis in one case. Concomitant tuberculosis and malignancy are possible, especially in countries with high tuberculosis incidence. Therefore, a detailed histopathological examination is required to prevent misdiagnosis. Immunocompromised states related to cancer and its treatments can add the risk of flare-up of a latent infection.

Authors: Ms. T. Jayasridevi  , Kukunarapu Manideep  , Paka. Kalyant  , K. Venkat
Published: October 2024

This research paper focuses on addressing the environmental harm caused by the increasing number of electronic devices in the modern world. As technology advances, the usage of electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops has surged. While some of these devices can be repaired when damaged, many are either left unused at home or discarded in regular waste bins, leading to significant environmental hazards in the coming years. Although e-waste facility centres are available, users are often reluctant to visit these locations. To tackle this issue, we propose a solution in the form of an application that utilizes an API to connect users with vendors located in specific areas. The key features of this application include user interaction, mapping, and a reward system. This will be beneficial for both the user and the vendor who are present at that location, and it will also reduce the impact on the environment.

Authors: Shreyas N G  , Ashwin C A
Published: October 2024

The research work in this paper mainly focuses on the dynamic simulation of a High strength steel wind turbine tower subjected to blast loading in increasing order, conducted by using ABAQUS. The analysis of the wind turbine tower evaluates the response and performance of the structure when subjected to blast load levels in the form of TNT charges ranging from 500 kgs to 2000 kgs applied at the base and at the top of the tower respectively. The study focuses mainly on the key parameters such as Von Mises stress, displacement, and reaction forces in which the results indicate that the High strength steel wind turbine tower passes the Von Mises stress limit up to a blast load of 1500 kgs at the base but fails under higher loads of 1750 kgs and 2000 kgs respectively where stresses of the wind turbine tower exceeds the tensile strength of the material. Moreover, at the top of the tower, the structure fails at a low charge of 500 kgs demonstrating its vulnerability to the blast load. Displacement of the wind turbine tower surpasses its recommended limit for TNT charges beyond 1500 kgs at the base with a maximum displacement of 129.49 mm at 2000 kgs. The maximum reaction force recorded was 2890 KN at a TNT charge of 1750 kgs. The study concludes by revealing the findings of the limitations of High-strength steel wind turbine towers under extreme blast conditions and throws spotlight on the need for structural reinforcement or alternative designs and hybrid towers for the wind turbine for improved performance and use in high-risk environmental zones.

Authors: Muz Dilek , Muz Mustafa Necati
Published: October 2024

Objective: Honeybees (Apis mellifera) have a unique role in natural pollination and maintaining biodiversity in the ecosystem. The alarming increase in unexpected colony losses, mysterious bee deaths, and the tragic extinction of entire colonies (Colony collapsed disorder- CCD) have sounded a global alarm, demanding immediate attention and collaborative action to address these critical challenges in bee breeding. Diseases, parasites, and pathogens significantly threaten colony health. Türkiye is a significant honey producer, providing an ideal environment for beekeeping due to its unique eco-geographical features. Unexpected colony losses and bee deaths are also questions of concern for beekeepers in Türkiye.
Material Method: In this study investigated honey bee viruses in apiaries experiencing sudden bee death losses and CCD-like symptoms between 2021 and 2023 in Türkiye, involving genetic analysis of the LSV RdRp gene region. The honeybee and varroa samples were obtained from 52 colonies in 26 apiaries complaining of unexpected bee deaths and CCD-like symptoms between May 2021 and September 2023.
Result: The results showed a high DWV, BQCV, and LSV prevalence, respectively. The sampled apiaries were infested mild-moderate- high grade with Varroa mites. Following PCR results, DWV, BQCV, LSV, IAPV, CBPV, and SBV positivity was detected at 69.2% (n=18), 50% (n=13), 38.46% (n=10), 26.9% (n=7), 19.2% (n=5) and 3.8% (n=1), respectively. High rates of multiple virus coexisting and high varroa infestation were noted in colonies with heavy losses and CCD-like complaints. The RdRp gene from two LSV samples (TrLSV-6474, TrLSV-6517) was sequenced. Turkish LSV samples (TrLSVs) showed a 72.88% homology of each other and clustered LSV4 branches in the phylogenetic tree. Turkish LSV sequences showed a closer similarity rate than reference sequences in GenBank with Asian Korean, Chinese, and Japanese LSV sequences.
Conclusion: Further investigation is needed to comprehend the implications of elevated LSV populations on colony losses. The execution of genetic research with a more extensive sample size can significantly enhance the demonstration of species diversity and provide valuable insights into the influence of LSV variants on honeybee health and the management of diseases.

Mild-type Infantile Acute Subdural Hematoma Presenting with a Holohemispheric Subdural Hematoma
Authors: Aoki Nobuhiko
Published: October 2024

An acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) in an infant without external signs of head trauma is sometimes thought to be symptomatic of shaken baby syndrome (SBS) / abusive head trauma (AHT) in the United States or of an infantile acute subdural hematoma (IASDH) due to minor head trauma in Japan. The present case report demonstrated that IASDH may occur spontaneously if the dural border cell layer (DBCL) is disrupted in an infant with cranio-cerebral disproportion (CCD), a situation which involves holohemispheric subdural hematoma (HHSDH) development, a neuroimaging finding specific to this condition.

Authors: Wu Linjing , Gao Yu , Zang Yujia , He Puliang
Published: October 2024

Online collaborative conversation is one of the crucial approaches to promote students' collaborative skills and cognitive development. Students' social roles in collaborative learning have a key impact on the process of collaborative learning activities and the development of students' cognition. What are the differences in the cognitive structures and processes between rotated-role and fixed-role in students' groups? This paper explored this question by empirical research. The results of epistemic network analysis showed that the rotated-role groups had more high-level cognition and more complex cognitive structure, while the fixed-role groups had more management activities. In the rotated-role groups, the leaders can better mobilize the atmosphere, organize and coordinate the cognitive processes of the team, so that to contribute more to the collaborative conversations. The cognitive depth and efficient of fixed-role groups significantly decreased over time. These imply that in online collaborative conversation activities, role-rotation can be used to promote higher-order cognitive development, and fixed-role can be used to improve management efficiency. Teachers should encourage team leaders to take on more cognitive activity organization and coordination tasks in online collaborative conversation activities. In the later stages of online collaborative conversation activities, teachers should strengthen intervention and support for fixed social role groups.

Se reporta la presencia del cenzontle norteño (Mimus polyglottos) en la Reserva Biológica privada Cerro Hermoso, que forma parte de la zona de influencia del Parque Nacional Lagunas de Chacahua, Oaxaca, México. En noviembre de 2023, con el uso de redes de niebla, se capturó un individuo adulto de M. polyglottos. El hábitat de captura fue vegetación secundaria con arbustos y pastizal natural. A pesar de que el área del registro se encuentra en proceso de regeneración y está rodeada de parcelas agrícolas, la presencia de M. polyglottos podría asociarse a la disponibilidad de recursos clave como pequeños insectos y frutos de plantas nativas. Las áreas en proceso de restauración del hábitat desempeñan un papel crucial en la conservación de la biodiversidad y la supervivencia de las especies.

Published: October 2024

Aim: For pediatric dentists, meeting the dental treatment needs of young children is often a challenge. Behavioral management techniques may be ineffective in underage children or children with special needs. Therefore, general anesthesia (GA) is required for dental rehabilitation of uncooperative children.
The aim of this study was to examine the patient population treated under General Anesthesia (GA) in terms of age, gender, ASA Score (American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification System), duration of anesthesia, duration of operation and the presence of systemic diseases of the patients.
Material and Methods: In this study, 238 patients aged 2-15 years who underwent dental treatment in the General Anesthesia Operating Room of Selçuk University Faculty of Dentistry were included. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to indications for general anesthesia. Medical health status and ASA scores were analysed. Patients were also evaluated according to age, gender, duration of anesthesia and duration of dental treatment.
Results: According to results, the mean age (years) and weight (kg) of the patients were 5,4 and 19,7, respectively. The gender distribution of the patients was 125 female (52,55%) and 113 male (47,5%). The number of ASA I patients was 213 (89,6%) and ASA II patients was 25 (10,5%). In terms of duration of anesthesia, 24 patients were treated in less than 60 minutes (min), 132 patients in 60-120 min and 82 patients in 120-180 min.
Conclusion: Dental treatment operating rooms with inpatient services can serve more different patient groups.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: This study aims to determine and compare the fracture strength and failure modes of zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass ceramics (ZLS) and yttria-stabilized zirconia-based ceramic MOD and MO inlay restorations.
Materials and Methods: Stumps representing the maxillary second premolar were prepared using HyperDent software and CAD/CAM milling units. Thirty-two epoxy resin die models were obtained, with 16 samples in each group. Subsequently, restorations were fabricated using Vita Suprinity (VITA Zahnfabrik, Bad Sackingen, Germany) and IPS e.max ZirCAD CAD/CAM (Ivoclar et all., Liechtenstein) blocks to restore the inlay cavities. The specimens were subjected to aging and then tested for fracture using a universal testing machine. The resulting fractures were classified. Data normality was assessed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, and homogeneity of variances was evaluated using the Levene test. The interaction between restorative material type and cavity surface was tested using two-way ANOVA.
Results: The fracture strength of IPS e.max ZirCAD material (mean value: 723.18±57.51) is higher than that of Vita Suprinity ZLS material (689.86±113.61), but this difference is not statistically significant (F=3.46, p=0.073). The group with 3-surface cavities in the tooth material (768.00±60.60) has significantly different fracture strength compared to the group with 2-surface cavities (645.037±71.20) (F=47.18, p<0.001).
Conclusions: Having a 3-surface cavity may further enhance the fracture resistance of inlay restorations, and this difference is statistically significant. There is no significant difference in fracture strength among restorative materials.

Background: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) pose a significant challenge in Southeast Asia. Despite various reforms in the curricula of this region, health courses have not adequately addressed the prevention of HAIs. Objective: To evaluate the perceptions of nursing educators in Southeast Asia regarding an innovative educational approach developed by the PrevInf project consortium. Methods: A pilot study was conducted using a quantitative approach and descriptive design at two universities in Cambodia and two in Vietnam. Nursing educators were invited to participate in a training session that included a presentation of the PrevInf Model, the pedagogical materials, and the simulation scenarios developed by the project consortium. After the session, the nursing educators completed a questionnaire to assess their agreement with a set of statements concerning the outputs’ feasibility, adequacy, and applicability. Results: The study included 121 nursing educators who reported high agreement regarding the feasibility of the PrevInf Model and its acceptability in various contexts, with no statistically significant differences observed between countries. Across both countries, participants expressed moderate to high agreement that the simulation scenarios represent an appropriate pedagogical strategy and adequately cover essential topics related to the prevention of HAIs. Conclusion: Nursing educators believe that the PrevInf Model, along with its pedagogical materials and simulation scenarios, demonstrates high adequacy, acceptability, and feasibility, with the potential to enhance students' knowledge and skills in HAI prevention. Further research is needed to refine the cultural relevance of the PrevInf Model when compared to traditional teaching methods.

Mục tiêu: Đánh giá kết quả điều trị các biến chứng ổ mắt do viêm mũi xoang cấp ở trẻ em. Phương pháp: Tổng quan luận điểm. Chúng tôi sử dụng cơ sở dữ liệu từ trang thông tin điện tử Pubmed và tìm kiếm thủ công để tìm kiếm các bài báo liên quan đến việc điều trị biến chứng ổ mắt do viêm mũi xoang ở trẻ em. Kết quả: 15 bài báo được đưa vào nghiên cứu, trong đó 11 bài báo là nghiên cứu mô tả cắt ngang, 2 bài là nghiên cứu thuần tập và 2 bài là loạt ca bệnh. Tổng cộng có 554 bệnh nhân độ tuổi từ 0,5 đến 15 tuổi được đưa vào nghiên cứu, tuổi trung bình là 6,1 tuổi. Tỉ lệ nam giới là 61,73%, nữ giới là 38,27%. Có 311 bệnh nhân điều trị bảo tồn và 269 bệnh nhân điều trị phẫu thuật. Triệu chứng để can thiệp phẫu thuật ở bệnh nhân áp xe dưới màng xương là: phù kết mạc, lồi mắt ≥ 2mm, hạn chế vận nhãn, thị lực giảm (<20/60), nhãn áp ≥ 20mmHg, chiều rộng ổ áp xe ≥ 1,2cm và thể tích ổ áp xe >1,5ml. Các bệnh nhân đa số hồi phục hoàn toàn, di chứng về thị giác bao gồm sụp mi, hạn chế vận nhãn và mất (giảm thị lực). Thời gian trung bình nằm viện là 6,6 ngày, nhóm điều trị bảo tồn có thời gian nằm viện ngắn hơn nhóm bệnh nhân phẫu thuật. Kết luận: Biến chứng ổ mắt do viêm mũi xoang cấp là một cấp cứu trong tai mũi họng. Viêm tấy trước vách ngăn và viêm tấy ổ mắt ở trẻ em thường đáp ứng tốt với điều trị bảo tồn và hồi phục hoàn toàn, trong khi áp xe ổ mắt và huyết khối xoang hang phải điều trị phẫu thuật. Áp xe dưới màng xương có thể điều trị bảo tồn trong một số trường hợp nhưng phải phụ thuộc đặc điểm bệnh nhân, kết quả khám, cắt lớp vi tính và theo dõi sát. Đối với biến chứng Chandler III trở lên, mặc dù điều trị tích cực vẫn có thể để lại di chứng thị giác.
