Published: January 2025

Este artículo de revisión, enmarcado dentro del proyecto de investigación "Estrategias pedagógicas para fomentar la reducción, reutilización y reciclaje de los residuos sólidos inorgánicos" en la Institución Educativa Antonio José de Sucre, Buenaventura, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, se desarrolla como parte de la Maestría en Pedagogía Ambiental para el Desarrollo Sostenible. El objetivo principal del estudio es identificar y analizar los aportes teóricos y prácticos de los artículos científicos publicados entre 2020 y 2024, centrados en las estrategias pedagógicas para el manejo de residuos sólidos inorgánicos. Desde un enfoque cualitativo, la investigación explora cómo estas estrategias pedagógicas se implementan en contextos educativos y su impacto en la comunidad. Los resultados indican que las estrategias pedagógicas efectivas no solo promueven la reducción, reutilización y reciclaje de residuos, sino que también mejoran la conciencia ambiental y la responsabilidad en los estudiantes. La aplicación de estas estrategias contribuye significativamente a la reducción de residuos en las instituciones educativas y al mejoramiento del entorno local. Las conclusiones destacan que la integración de la educación ambiental en el currículo escolar es esencial para formar ciudadanos responsables y comprometidos con la sostenibilidad. Se subraya la necesidad de adoptar enfoques pedagógicos que fomenten el pensamiento crítico y el compromiso con el medio ambiente desde una edad temprana. Los estudios revisados refuerzan la idea de que una educación ambiental efectiva puede transformar las prácticas de manejo de residuos y contribuir a la creación de comunidades más sostenibles.
Hydroxyl Radicals Production in Nitrogen Fixation with Addition of Fe2+ Ions Using Plasma Electrolysis
Authors: Harianingsih Harianingsih , Qudus Nur , Kurniawan Tonni Agustionio
Published: January 2025

Nitrogen fixation using the Haber-Bosch process generates carbon dioxide emissions, so environmentally friendly alternative technologies are needed. Plasma electrolysis is recommended as a nitrogen fixation method that produces liquid nitrate because it does not generate emissions with raw materials from the natural air. The plasma electrolysis process generates hydroxyl radicals in the nitrate formation process. Thus, the aim of this research is to increase hydroxyl radicals by adding Fe2+ ions. The methods used include characterizing the current and voltage strength in the reactor to observe the glow discharge position for plasma formation. The analysis of hydroxyl radicals formed with the addition of Fe2+ ions was conducted using Electron Spin Resonance (ESR). The analysis of the yield of liquid nitrate formed was performed using a UV VIS Spectrophotometer. The results obtained were the emission spectrum of radicals formed in plasma without air injection. The wavelengths of the detected radicals are as follows: •OH (hydroxyl radical) at 306 nm, with an intensity of 21.696 a.u, •H (hydrogen radical) at 654 nm, with an intensity of 12.572 a.u. and •O (oxygen radical) at 844 nm, with an intensity of 13.267 a.u. When air injection is used, 0.8 liters per minute (lpm), there is a significant increase in the intensity of reactive species required for nitrate formation, such as excited nitrogen (N₂*) at 28540 a.u, hydroxyl radicals (•OH) at 30863 a.u, and oxygen (•O) at 49800 a.u. the concentration of nitrate produced reaches 1889 ppm. This is different from the condition without air injection (0 lpm), where nitrate is not formed.

Authors: Ersan Yusuf , Tuğba İşçen Nurdan
Published: January 2025

Aim: Pesticides, which provide many benefits in terms of production and yield, can also be toxic substances that can harm human health. In this study, the effects of pendimethalin (PND), a type of pesticide, on the liver and kidney tissue of mice were examined by histopathological methods.
Material and Method: A total of 30 mice were used in our study. They were divided into 5 groups, 6 mice in the control group and 6 mice in the other groups. One of the groups was reserved as the control group. No application was made to the control group. Group I received 0.1 mg/l PND, group II received 0.2 mg/l PND intraperitoneally on the 1st and 3rd days of the study. Group III received 0.1 mg/l PND intraperitoneally and 0.1 mg/l vitamin A and C orally, group IV received 0.2 mg/l PND intraperitoneally and 0.1 mg/l vitamin A and C orally on the 1st and 3rd days of our study. On the 4th day of our study, the experimental animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation method under general anaesthesia. Liver and kidney tissues of the mice were histopathologically examined under light microscope.
Results: In our study, sinusoidal enlargement and vascular congestion were observed in the liver tissue of the I. experimental group, while tubular dilatation and intertubular vascular congestion were observed in the kidney tissue. In the second experimental group, in addition to the similar findings in the first experimental group, an increase in the number of pyknotic nuclei and Kuppfer cells in the liver tissue and loss of cells and disrupted areas in the tubules in the kidney tissue were observed. In addition, the findings in this group were more pronounced. In the third experimental group, histopathological findings were similar to those in the first group. Similarly, the findings in experimental group IV and experimental group II, which were given vitamin A and C, were similar.
Conclusion: In conclusion, our findings showed that PND negatively affected the histology of liver and kidney of mice. Vitamins A and C did not contribute positively to these histopathological findings.

Published: January 2025

Aim: The radius, located on the lateral forearm, plays a key role in pronation and supination. Its proximal and distal ends contribute to the stability and motion of the elbow and wrist joints, making them susceptible to trauma, with fractures common, especially in the geriatric population. Understanding the morphological and morphometric features of these ends is crucial for surgical interventions, such as screwing techniques for complex fractures. This study aims to examine the morphological and morphometric characteristics of the proximal and distal ends of the human radius and provide clinically relevant data.
Material and Method: 70 radii (34 right and 36 left) from the collections of Necmettin Erbakan University and Acıbadem Mehmet Ali Aydınlar University were analyzed. Measurements were taken using digital calipers, an osteometric board, a tape measure, and the Image J program. Morphological classifications of the articular fovea and radial tuberosity were recorded. Morphometric analysis of the proximal and distal extremities was conducted, and data, analyzed using SPSS 21, were found to be normally distributed. Right-left comparisons were made using paired Student's t-tests, type differences with one-way ANOVA, and relationships with correlation tests.
Results: Among all radii, 97.1% of articular foveae were elliptical, while 54.3% of radial tuberosities were single roughened (Type b). No significant differences were found in the morphology of the articular fovea or radial tuberosity between the right and left sides (p>0.05). The medial thickness of the radial head (RH-mt) and the anterior lenght of the ulnar notch (UN-al) were significantly larger on the right side (p
Can First Trimester Plasma Protein A Level Predict Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Baki Yıldırım Sema , Bezirganoglu Altuntas Neslihan , Muhtaroğlu Ali , Albayrak Mehmet
Published: January 2025

Aim: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a condition with multifactorial etiology and adverse perinatal consequences, affects approximately 15% of pregnancies globally, with higher prevalence in certain populations, such as Türkiye. The role of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) on GDM risk remains unclear. This prospective study aimed to assess whether first-trimester maternal PAPP-A levels are predictive of GDM.
Material and Method: This study involved 573 singleton pregnancies in women aged 18 to 45 years, conducted at a tertiary maternity hospital. PAPP-A and free β-hCG were assessed, and GDM screening was carried out using a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test. Comprehensive statistical analyses were applied to evaluate the findings.
Results: Of the participants, 28.09% were diagnosed with GDM. GDM group exhibited significantly lower PAPP-A MoM levels compared to controls (p=0.042). ROC analysis revealed limited predictive utility, with a PAPP-A threshold of 0.99 demonstrating 52.3% sensitivity and 51.7% specificity. Logistic regression identified low PAPP-A levels, advanced maternal age, and higher body mass index (BMI) as independent GDM risk factors.
Conclusion: While the findings underscore a potential association between PAPP-A levels and GDM, the predictive capacity of PAPP-A alone is modest. Future research should explore integrated predictive models incorporating PAPP-A and other biomarkers for improved early GDM screening.

Authors: Fauzan Mohamad , Restendi Dedi
Published: January 2025

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Iceberg Analysis and U-Process methods in training programs designed to strengthen religious moderation, using the Kirkpatrick model to evaluate reaction and learning levels. A survey and descriptive analysis were employed to measure training effectiveness. The study involved a population of 90 participants, with a sample size of 73 determined using the Morgan and Krejcie sample formula. The instrument's validity and reliability were tested, and a Paired Sample T-Test was used to analyze learning outcomes. Descriptive analysis was conducted based on the Iceberg Analysis and U-Process learning models. The findings indicate that the training evaluation at the reaction level falls into the "very good" quadrant, with all aspects of the organizers and instructors rated positively. Learning outcomes show a significant improvement, and at the results level, the learning processes involving the Iceberg and U-Process methods significantly enhanced participants' knowledge and skills. Overall, the training is deemed effective.
Performance Allowances in Relation to Work Unit Performance Load
Authors: Abdullah Sudirman , Pelu Hanafi
Published: January 2025

Allowances are computed based on individual performance successes, such as workload, task difficulty, and contribution to corporate goals. The purpose of this article is to describe how performance allowance is paid depending on performance burden in the work unit (case study at the Ministry of Religious Affairs). The research method is qualitative, and the research type is descriptive. The findings revealed that paying performance-based performance allowances in Ministry of Religion work units is a strategic step toward encouraging better employee performance. However, its execution is fraught with difficulties, such as a lack of clarity in defining performance measures and uneven workload distribution. Allowance inequity can lower employee morale and negatively impact organizational productivity. As a result, inequity necessitates periodic reviews and revisions to make the allowance system more equal and efficient.

frontera terrestre con Chile y la política exterior
Authors: Maúrtua de Romaña Óscar
Published: January 2025

El Perú y Chile, pese a las diferencias históricas, comparten un destino común. Esta consideración debería estar siempre presente al momento de elaborar propuestas sobre cómo llevar nuestras relaciones bilaterales con nuestro vecino del sur. La historiadora peruana Carmen Mc Evoy sostuvo en una entrevista, meses antes de conocerse el fallo de la Corte Internacional de Justicia sobre la demanda de delimitación marítima presentada por nuestro país, que “un conflicto no termina con la firma de la paz, sino que muchas veces las repercusiones perduran en el tiempo”. El Tratado de Ancón de 1883 firmado por el Perú y Chile oficialmente restableció las relaciones diplomáticas entre las dos naciones, sin embargo, no terminó con las tensiones y desconfianzas que perduraron y que nuevamente se han reavivado por el rechazo de Santiago a la creación del Distrito de La Yarada-Los Palos que reafirma nuestra soberanía nacional al incluir en su jurisdicción el denominado “triángulo terrestre”.
Ramón Ribeyro y la Corte Suprema
Authors: Miranda Molina Francisco
Published: January 2025

Ramón Ribeyro fue hijo de Juan Antonio Ribeyro, jurista que ocupó la presidencia de la Corte Suprema en tiempos de la ocupación chilena. En una actitud de defensa de los intereses del Perú, resistió los requerimientos del ejército invasor y del gobierno de la Magdalena que le solicitaron el funcionamiento de los tribunales peruanos durante la ocupación. La historiadora Carmen Mc Evoy ha considerado que con esa actitud la Corte Suprema defendió nuestra soberanía en la etapa más amarga del Perú. Su hijo Ramón contribuyó también a la defensa de la patria participando en la batalla de Miraflores y como consejero del gobierno de García Calderón, siendo deportado a Chile por el invasor junto con otros peruanos distinguidos.
Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos reconoce el derecho a un ambiente saludable en reciente opinión consultiva.
Authors: Pinto-Bazurco Barandiarán José Félix
Published: January 2025

Un asunto de particular interés para un país como el Perú, que tiene sus fronteras más extensas en áreas de la amazonia que son sensibles a los efectos producidos por daños medioambientales, se encuentra en una reciente opinión consultiva de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos1. A pesar de que la Corte ha reconocido previamente la existencia de una relación entre la protección del medio ambiente y el disfrute de otros derechos humanos, lo ha hecho solo en relación con los derechos territoriales de pueblos indígenas y tribales2. Una nueva opinión de la Corte, hecha en respuesta a una solicitud de Colombia, es la primera en reconocer un derecho autónomo a un medio ambiente saludable, así como responsabilidad extraterritorial de los Estados por daños medioambientales en virtud de la Convención Americana sobre Derechos Humanos. Esta nueva opinión permite la posibilidad de que una persona o un Estado afectado por el daño medioambiental generado en otro país, incluido el daño causado por el cambio climático, pueda presentar un caso ante la Corte siempre que el Estado demandado no haya cumplido con las obligaciones establecidas por la Corte.

Luminous interacting supernovae (SNe) are a class of stellar explosions whose progenitors underwent vigorous mass loss in the years prior to core collapse. While the mechanism by which this material is ejected is still debated, obtaining the full density profile of the circumstellar medium (CSM) could reveal more about this process. Here, we present an extensive multiwavelength study of PS1-11aop, a luminous and slowly declining Type IIn SNe discovered by the Pan-STARRS Medium Deep Survey. PS1-11aop had a peak r-band magnitude of −20.5 mag, a total radiated energy >8 × 1050 erg, and it exploded near the center of a star-forming galaxy with super-solar metallicity. We obtained multiple detections at the location of PS1-11aop in the radio and X-ray bands between 4 and 10 yr post-explosion, and if due to the supernova (SN), it is one of the most luminous radio SNe identified to date. Taken together, the multiwavelength properties of PS1-11aop are consistent with a CSM density profile with multiple zones. The early optical emission is consistent with the SN blastwave interacting with a dense and confined CSM shell, which contains multiple solar masses of material that was likely ejected in the final <10–100 yr prior to the explosion, (∼0.05−1.0 M
⊙ yr−1 at radii of ≲1016 cm). The radio observations, on the other hand, are consistent with a sparser environment (≲2 × 10−3
M
⊙ yr−1 at radii of ∼0.5–1 × 1017 cm)—thus probing the history of the progenitor star prior to its final mass-loss episode.

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration measured a tight relation between the Hubble constant (H
0) and the distance to the Coma cluster using the fundamental plane (FP) relation of the deepest, most homogeneous sample of early-type galaxies. To determine H
0, we measure the distance to Coma by several independent routes, each with its own geometric reference. We measure the most precise distance to Coma from 13 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in the cluster with a mean standardized brightness of

mag. Calibrating the absolute magnitude of SNe Ia with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) distance ladder yields D
Coma = 98.5 ± 2.2 Mpc, consistent with its canonical value of 95–100 Mpc. This distance results in H
0 = 76.5 ± 2.2 km s−1 Mpc−1 from the DESI FP relation. Inverting the DESI relation by calibrating it instead to the Planck+ΛCDM value of H
0 = 67.4 km s−1 Mpc−1 implies a much greater distance to Coma, D
Coma = 111.8 ± 1.8 Mpc, 4.6σ beyond a joint, direct measure. Independent of SNe Ia, the HST Key Project FP relation as calibrated by Cepheids, the tip of the red giant branch from JWST, or HST near-infrared surface brightness fluctuations all yield D
Coma < 100 Mpc, in joint tension themselves with the Planck-calibrated route at >3σ. From a broad array of distance estimates compiled back to 1990, it is hard to see how Coma could be located as far as the Planck+ΛCDM expectation of >110 Mpc. By extending the Hubble diagram to Coma, a well-studied location in our own backyard whose distance was in good accord well before the Hubble tension, DESI indicates a more pervasive conflict between our knowledge of local distances and cosmological expectations. We expect future programs to refine the distance to Coma and nearer clusters to help illuminate this new local window on the Hubble tension.
Clinical Characteristics and Risk Factors of Hyperkyphosis in a Chinese Cohort With Axial Spondyloarthritis: A Multicenter Retrospective Study
Authors: Chen Yuening , Geng Zhaoyang , Wang Yu , Liu Hongxiao
Published: January 2025

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of hyperkyphosis in a Chinese cohort of patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted in a group of 607 patients with axSpA attending 12 hospitals across 11 centers from March 2022 to March 2024. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to explore the relevant risk factors of hyperkyphosis. A nomogram model was used for impact factor visualization and Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the risk factors.

Results

Multivariate logistic regression revealed that male sex, disease duration, patient global assessment, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS), pharmacological treatment, and Axial Spondyloarthritis Disease Activity Score based on C-reactive protein significantly influenced hyperkyphosis (allP< 0.05). Based on the results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis, we constructed a nomogram model for clinical evaluation with an area under the curve of 0.98 and an accuracy of 0.95. Spearman correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society Health Index (ASAS HI) and mSASSS (ρ 0.16,P< 0.001), whereas pharmacological treatment was negatively correlated with disease activity and mSASSS (ρ –0.24 and –0.18, respectively;P< 0.001).

Conclusion

Controlling disease activity in clinical practice is crucial. Active pharmacological treatment should be employed to delay radiological progression and to improve patient ASAS HI scores, psychological well-being, and physical functioning. Additionally, smoking cessation and weight control are recommended to reduce disability.
Le rôle historique de la santé maternelle et infantile dans la culture de la protection sociale : de la loi Roussel à la Protection maternelle et infantile (PMI)
Authors: Dutton Paul V.
Published: January 2025

Cette contribution ajoute une dimension particulière au panorama français des cultures de la protection sociale, sans doute plus discrète – car intériorisée en France – mais frappante aux yeux d’un observateur américain : la santé maternelle et infantile. Sans celle-ci, la notion même d’État-providence ne saurait en effet prévaloir : comment protéger l’individu et la société sans d’abord se préoccuper, dès sa naissance et durant sa prime enfance, de sa santé ? Or, même si cette protection, aujourd’hui passée dans les mœurs, a donné sa pleine mesure à travers le programme de PMI lancé en 1945, ses prémices sont plus anciennes, qui remontent aux tout débuts de la Troisième République, lorsque diverses forces sociales, politiques et culturelles suscitèrent les initiatives conjointes de l’État et du secteur privé, et au moment même où se développait la protection des enfants, des filles mineures et des femmes dans l’industrie. La puériculture fut, à cet égard, un vecteur majeur de l’acculturation des Françaises et des Français à une protection sociale qui cherchait confusément, c’est-à-dire sans plan d’ensemble initial, à préserver le « capital humain » de la nation « du berceau jusqu’à la tombe ». Elle souligne en creux les limites intrinsèques de l’assurance et de l’assistance : ces dernières ne peuvent réduire des risques partagés que si des politiques publiques, comme la politique d’éducation à la santé, et des personnalités œuvrant à l’articulation des actions privées et publiques (« mixed economy of welfare ») les accompagnent et leur donnent sens.
S’affirmer sans s’imposer. Les régulatrices du bloc opératoire, aiguilleuses informationnelles et travailleuses émotionnelles
Authors: El Haïk-Wagner Nicolas
Published: January 2025

Incarnation du mouvement de rationalisation et de gestionnarisation de l’hôpital public, la régulation au bloc opératoire vise à assurer l’efficience du programme et à l’ajuster en fonction des imprévus. Des infirmières et aides-soignantes viennent parfois en soutien aux cadres sur ces missions. À l’appui d’observations ethnographiques et d’entretiens dans deux blocs opératoires pluridisciplinaires franciliens, cet article interroge la légitimation de ces professions dominées face à des régulations autonomes médico-chirurgicales fortes dans un contexte de difficultés systémiques. L’affirmation des régulatrices tient tout d’abord à la ressource informationnelle qu’elles incarnent, essentielle à l’hôpital-entreprise. Ensuite, leur mandat dédié, leur position spatiale d’hyper-proximité comme leurs savoirs expérientiels localisés aident au processus d’enrôlement des acteurs permettant les ajustements du programme. Leur travail émotionnel vient enfin prévenir les conflits serviciels avec les usagers et réguler les affects de cet espace fermé.
Perceptions et motivations des jeunes médecins à exercer en zones désertifiées face aux incitations des élus locaux : entre discours stéréotypés et pratiques effectives
Authors: Dagot Céline
Published: January 2025

Dans un contexte de forte pénurie médicale et d’inégal accès aux soins des populations sur certains territoires, les médecins généralistes sont incités à exercer dans les zones désertifiées. Cet article analyse la perception qu’ont les jeunes médecins généralistes de la désertification en lien avec la formation médicale et les motivations à l’installation. Malgré les incitations des politiques publiques régionales et locales de santé, le recueil qualitatif révèle que l’exercice, voire l’installation dans des zones désertifiées où les besoins de soins sont importants ne sont pas sans arbitrages professionnels et personnels de la part des jeunes médecins. Toutefois, derrière un discours convenu et stéréotypé, se repèrent des déterminants à l’installation qui ouvrent la voie à des orientations possibles, notamment en milieu rural.
Analyzing patterns of accessibility to schools: A gravitational metrics study in València
Authors: Villalba Aida , Vila Luis E. , Carot Jose Miguel
Published: January 2025

A gravity-based accessibility metric, the Two-Step Floating Catchment Area (2SFCA) enhanced with gaussian smoothing, is proposed to clarify the distribution of opportunities for compulsory education. Along with the physical locations of the homes and schools, the metric considers the population age structure and capacity to measure the population's accessibility to school services. The application of the 2SFCA within the '15-minute city' model and the analysis of València's urban environment revealed two main findings. First, the distribution of the accessibility scores after a spatial autocorrelation analysis closely reflected the per capita income across the city, irrespective of the type of school and level of compulsory education considered. Second, for most school age children, accessing a charter school is easier than access to a public school for primary and secondary education. The 2SFCA metric appears to adequately capture the uneven spatial distribution of educational opportunities, thus offering new insights into some of the forces the drive school segregation processes and their territorial foundations.
A shared tradition: transmitting maritime knowledge in print
Authors: Schotte Margaret E.
Published: January 2025

As Europeans ventured more frequently on transoceanic voyages in the 16th century, it became essential for navigators to be able to carry out mathematical computations. Iberian educators rose to the occasion, developing textbooks and curricula to transmit these abstract concepts. At the same time that they strove to present new mathematical techniques, these maritime authors also captured the tacit skills that had been practiced for centuries. Thus, even though few working sailors put pen to paper, it is possible to recover aspects of their epistemology from these texts. Because books traveled so easily across borders, these academic sources also had far-reaching effects, inspiring similar educational programs across maritime Europe. This article recommends adopting a comparative perspective, since much can be learned by tracing the evolution of these shared practices as they traveled from Spain and Portugal to the Netherlands, France, and England, and back again.
« On est encore en vie, à la grande surprise de tout le monde… » L’expérience des personnes âgées trans vivant avec une démence dans une société âgiste, cisgenriste et cogniticiste
Authors: Baril Alexandre , Silverman Marjorie
Published: January 2025

Les personnes âgées trans et non binaires vivant avec une démence sont confrontées à des formes de marginalisation, de pathologisation et de discrimination ancrées dans la violence épistémique qui les expose à la maltraitance et au rejet en tant que sujets épistémiques. Sur la base des résultats empiriques d’une étude canadienne examinant le vécu des personnes trans et non binaires vivant avec une démence et celui de leurs proches aidant·es, nous luttons contre cette violence épistémique en nous concentrant sur les récits, à la première personne, de cette population et de leurs proches aidant·es. Des entrevues narratives ont été menées avec six participant·es (N = 6) : quatre proches aidant·es d’adultes trans et non binaires vivant avec une démence et deux personnes trans (binaires) vivant avec une démence. À travers une analyse thématique, nous examinons les caractéristiques du fait de vivre avec une démence en tant que personne trans ou non binaire. Premièrement, les résultats révèlent les effets du cogniticisme sur l’expérience de l’identité de genre et sur le cisgenrisme, par exemple, à travers les refus de chirurgies, un gatekeeping excessif et le fait de ne pas être pris·e au sérieux par les prestataires de soins. Deuxièmement, les résultats montrent en quoi la démence affecte l’identité de genre et le cisgenrisme, par exemple, en augmentant le besoin de soins en milieu institutionnel, lequel peut augmenter à son tour l’exposition aux violences systémiques. Troisièmement, les résultats illustrent la manière dont le cisgenrisme et l’identité de genre affectent l’expérience de la démence et du cogniticisme, par exemple, en limitant les options de soins et la capacité à défendre ses droits. Quatrièmement, les résultats révèlent que les prestataires pensent en silo, puisque la plupart n’adoptent pas une perspective intersectionnelle dans leur travail. La conclusion de l’article offre des recommandations.
Guépard-gazelle : entre prédation et care, construction de l’ethos discursif de femmes chasseresses
Authors: Balaguer Guillonne
Published: January 2025

À partir d’une enquête sociolinguistique ethnographique sur la pratique féminine de la chasse, je m’intéresse dans cet article à la construction de l’ethos discursif de chasseresses, entre care et prédation. Partant d’un contexte théorique féministe qui lie femmes et animaux à une même oppression masculine (figure de la femme-proie), j’examine les stratégies d’adaptation et d’évitement dans les paroles des chasseresses participantes à mon enquête, puis la façon dont celles-ci construisent, en refus du statut de femme-proie, un ethos de prédatrices empouvoirant, s’appuyant sur une axiologie positive de l’animalité. Je m’intéresse ensuite à leur assomption des assignations féminines au care, entre sollicitude envers les animaux et activation de stéréotypes du féminin, notamment autour de la maternité. J’analyse enfin des exemples d’anthropomorphisation et d’animalisation, qui soulignent un trouble à la frontière inter-espèces. Ainsi je tâche de montrer la complexité d’un ethos pluriel, en tension entre care et prédation, dans lequel les chasseresses s’affirment, renversant des paradigmes essentialistes reliant femme et proie, chasse et masculinité, tout en usant des assignations de genre pour construire leur identité langagière.

Authors: Rajan Jinu Sara , Vinay M.
Published: January 2025

Geriatric assessment serves as a holistic evaluation tool, encompassing various aspects of the elderly individual's health, including physical function, cognition, and psychosocial factors. Integration of CGA data with EHRs allows for a comprehensive analysis of the individual's health status and medical history, providing valuable insights into their risk factors for falls. The ML-based predictive model developed in this study utilizes these integrated data sources to identify patterns and trends associated with fall occurrences among hospitalized elderly patients. By analysing various variables, including mobility indicators, medication usage, and previous fall history, the model can generate accurate predictions of fall risks for individual patients. This ML-driven approach has the potential to significantly improve patient safety and quality of care by enabling healthcare providers to pre-emptively identify and address fall risks among hospitalized elderly individuals, thereby reducing the reliance on constant personal assistance while ensuring optimal patient outcomes.

Published: January 2025

Mental illness significantly impacts morbidity and mortality; however, research on paramedic students' perceptions and attitudes toward individuals with mental health presentations is limite. The incidence of mental disorders in Saudi Arabia is increasing, and knowledge about them would enhance the ability of the paramedics to provide more help to the population. This study evaluates the perceptions of undergraduate emergency medical students before and after completing a mental health education block. We conducted a quasi-experimental design study for forth year students who were enrolled in a mental health block and have been added to King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences and were asked to partake in pre- and post-subject surveys. They were requested to share their perspectives on mental health through electronic questionnaires. With a total of 83 participants, averaging 21.33 years old, from three regions in Saudi Arabia, we found significant differences in the following questions before and after the mental health block: participants became more comfortable managing mental health issues (strongly agreeing increased from 10.8% to 36.1%). Moreover, perceptions about psychosis and violence changed (from agreeing to disagreeing). Questions on racism and trauma showed a significant increase in the strongly agreeing. The majority agreed more that neglect can cause mental illness (strongly agreeing increased from 30.1% to 63.9%). Lastly, exposure to rape was significantly strongly associated with mental disorders (69.9%, P value <0.0001). Our study showed positive shifts in attitudes and increased mental health knowledge after introducing a mental health block. The block not only improved understanding but also holds promise for future paramedics in offering empathetic care. Overall, the study underscores the need for continuous mental health education in paramedic curricula for better readiness in addressing diverse population needs.
Exploring Women’s Experiences of Amniocentesis: A Qualitative Content Analysis
Authors: Kownaklai Jaruwan , Kuasit Umaporn , Thaicharoen Nanthiya
Published: January 2025

Background:

The decision and experience of high-risk pregnant women to undergo amniocentesis can depend on their setting, context, social structures, and significant others, including cultural values and beliefs. What is less understood is women’s experience with decision-making, which may contribute to their anxiety during and after amniocentesis. This study aimed to explore the decision-making experiences of Thai pregnant women undergoing amniocentesis.

Materials and Methods:

A qualitative content analysis approach was employed to collect and analyze data. Purposive sampling and in-depth interviews were conducted between July and October 2021 with 15 Thai high-risk pregnant women after undergoing amniocentesis. Data analysis involved multiple readings of transcriptions to discern themes and understanding of the women’s stories.

Results:

Four themes of decision-making experiences were identified: (1) “Shocked, worried, and questioned why the risk was high”; (2) “Does my baby have Down syndrome? I want to know”; (3) “Worried”; and (4) “Relief from anxiety.”

Conclusions:

Women’s experiences with amniocentesis involved uncertain positive and negative feelings through the journey of undergoing, waiting, and receiving the test results. The nurses and nurse-midwives played an important role in counseling Thai pregnant women about whether to undergo amniocentesis.

Published: January 2025

Background:

Teaching clinical reasoning to nursing students is essential for professionalizing and improving cancer patient care. This study investigates how training duration with Virtual Patients (VPs) impacts clinical reasoning and learners’ evaluation of their experiences.

Materials and Methods:

The present semi-experimental study was conducted with a pretest–post-test design and a control group. Through the census sampling method, 74 nursing students from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, (in their 4th and 5th semester) who had taken the cancer course were selected (2019-2022) and, upon obtaining their consent, were enrolled in the study. The study began with a pretest, followed by engagement in five VP scenarios over 6 weeks, which was followed by the post-test phase. Data were collected via 23-item tests and the Huwendiek Questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS software using correlation tests and t-tests.

Results:

The outcomes revealed a noteworthy disparity between the mean scores recorded in the pre-test and post-test stages after training, for both the 4th and 5th semester cohorts (p ≤ 0.001). Moreover, a notable discrepancy surfaced between the duration of training with VPs and the average post-test score (p ≤ 0.001). The correlation coefficient, for the 4th semester, stood at 0.65, while for the 5th semester, it was 0.213. Notably, the participants exhibited contentment with the learning experience through VPs.

Conclusions:

The survey found that 85.60% of participants prefer using VPs for clinical reasoning education. Our study underscores the link between the duration of VP interaction and improved clinical reasoning skills in nursing students.
