INTRODUCTION:

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) has a negative impact on quality of life (QoL). Because CP is a chronic condition, multiple assessments of QoL are required to obtain a thorough understanding of its impact on patients. Such studies are currently lacking. This study aims to gain insight into the course and predictors of QoL in patients with CP using prospective longitudinal data from a large cohort of patients.

METHODS:

Post hoc analysis of consecutive patients with definite CP registered in a prospective database between 2011 and 2019 in the Netherlands. Patient and disease characteristics, nutritional status, pain severity, medication usage, pancreatic function, and pancreatic interventions were assessed from medical records and through standard follow-up questionnaires. The physical and mental component summary scales of the Short-Form 36 were used to assess physical and mental QoL at baseline and during follow-up. The course of both physical and mental QoL and their associated factors were longitudinally assessed by using generalized linear mixed models.

RESULTS:

Overall, 1,165 patients with definite CP were included for this analysis. During 10-year follow-up, generalized linear mixed model analyses revealed improvements in both physical (41.6–45.2, P < 0.001) and mental (45.9–46.6, P = 0.047) QoL. Younger age, current alcohol consumption, employment, no need for dietetic consultation, no steatorrhea, lower Izbicki pain score, and pain coping mechanism were positively associated with physical QoL (P < 0.05). For mental QoL, a positive correlation was found between employment, nonalcoholic CP, no need for dietetic consultation, no steatorrhea, lower Izbicki pain score, pain coping mechanism, and surgical treatment. No association was observed between disease duration and longitudinal QoL per patient.

DISCUSSION:

This nationwide study provides insight into the dynamics of physical and mental QoL in patients with CP over time. Important and potentially influenceable factors to improve QoL are nutritional status, exocrine pancreatic function, employment status, and patients' coping strategy.
Behaviour of textile-reinforced concrete structures at elevated temperatures
Authors:   , Fürst Richard
Published: March 2023

Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) is a modern composite consisting of high-performance concrete (HPC), textile reinforcement, and its matrix, most often from synthetic resins. Since it is a new building material, its use is dominant in non-load-bearing constructions such as facade panels or design elements. Nevertheless, due to its excellent mechanical properties, TRC may be used as an alternative load-bearing material to traditional structures materials. But before that, a detailed assessment from a fire resistance point of view is necessary. The development of TRC described in the thesis responds to the lack of knowledge about the fire design of TRC structures and focuses on the determination of TRC behaviour at elevated temperatures. At the same time, it aims to increase passive fire resistance and minimize the use of additional fire protection systems. Based on the multi-scale testing, risk areas such as high risk of spalling of HPC layers, contribution to the development of fire or loss of interaction between materials due to the temperature degradation of synthetic resin matrix of textile reinforcement were defined. Based on the findings, material optimization is proposed to reduce or eliminate these risks. Furthermore, the work describes the influence of the polypropylene (PP) fibres in the HPC mixture and their influence on spalling risk and load-bearing capacity of TRC. At the same time, the substitution of a flammable synthetic matrix of textile reinforcement with non-flammable cement-based materials is described as well as its behaviour at ambient and elevated temperatures. All conclusions determined based on the multi-scale experimental investigation were finally verified by real-scale testing where the official fire resistance of TRC structural members was classified. All these conclusions expand the development of TRC at elevated temperatures and thus should serve as a basis for the theoretical design of TRC structural members considering their behaviour at fire exposure.

Published: March 2023

The present study investigates the relationship between internal control and project management among Iraq construction SMEs. The current research is focused on internal control as multi-dimensional by using its four main components, which are control environment, control activities, self-assessment, and information & communication, while project management was taken as unidimensional. Data were gathered from the employees who are working in construction SMEs in Iraq, either consultants, developers, or contractors. 251 questionnaires were received and analyzed by using SPSS and smart PLS-SEM to measure the research model fit and examine the hypothesis, whether accepted or not within the study context. The model measurement and structural equation model test indicated that all four main hypotheses were accepted, which means that internal control has a positive impact on the four main components of project management in SMEs in the construction sectors in Iraq. Also, the theoretical and managerial implications of this research were then discussed at the end of this article.
Aristotle on Perception and Perception-like Appearance: De Anima 3.3, 428b10–29a9
Authors: Keeling Evan
Published: March 2023

It is now common to explain some of incidental perception’s features by means of a different capacity, called phantasia. Phantasia, usually translated as ‘imagination,’ is thought to explain how incidental perception can be false and representational by being a constitutive part of perception. Through a close reading of De Anima 3.3, 428b10–29a9, I argue against this and for perception first: phantasia is always a product of perception, from which it initially inherits all its characteristics. No feature of perception is explained directly by phantasia, and phantasia is never a part of perception. Phantasia is not imagination or representation, as many have thought, but perception-like appearance. Aristotle thus recognizes alongside three different types of perception three different types of perception-like appearance.
Implicit-Explicit Finite Difference Approximations of a Semilinear Heat Equation with Logarithmic Nonlinearity
Authors: Paraschis Panagiotis , Zouraris Georgios E.
Published: March 2023

We formulate an initial and Dirichlet boundary value problem for a semilinear heat equation with logarithmic nonlinearity over a two-dimensional rectangular domain.
We approximate its solution by employing the standard second-order finite difference method for space discretization, and a linearized backward Euler method, or, a linearized BDF2 method for time stepping.
For the linearized backward Euler finite difference method, we derive an almost optimal order error estimate in the discrete

Relations among Ramanujan-type congruences II: Ramanujan-type congruences in half-integral weights
Authors: Raum Martin
Published: March 2023

We link Ramanujan-type congruences, which emerge abundantly in combinatorics, to the Galois- and geometric theory of modular forms. Specifically, we show that Ramanujan-type congruences are preserved by the action of the shallow Hecke algebra, and discover a dichotomy between congruences originating in Hecke eigenvalues and congruences on arithmetic progressions with cube-free periods. The latter provide congruences among algebraic parts of twisted central

-values. We specialize our results to integer partitions, for which we investigate the landmark proofs of partition congruences by Atkin and by Ono. Based on a modulo

Approaches to obtain nanocellulose have been extensively suggested, and among the most competitive methodologies includes mechanical defibrillation, which results in a nanocellulose gel suspension that can be used in a variety of applications. However, standard procedures results in inhomogeneous fibre sizes due to its physical approach. Pre-treatments have been suggested, such as enzymes, but their cost is a disadvantage. In this work, we suggest the use of cryoslash for bleach kraft pulp using a simple methodology of embedding the dry kraft pulp in distilled water following by freezing at −80 °C, which was slashed using a common blender and submitted to an ultra-fine friction grinder. Samples were studied at various grinding steps 5, 15, 30, 60 and 120. Overall, the energy difference required to defibrillate with cryoslash was ∼3.26 kWh/kg at 30 steps and ∼6 at 120 steps, which was similar to enzymatic pre-treatment with nanofibrils significantly smaller. Cryoslash presented a unique C–H in plane structure from nanocellulose, related to a decrease in average size of fibrils, while crystallinity and thermal properties of nanocellulose remained stable at 60 steps, but mechanical properties increased until 120 steps along with the transmittance values related to the energy consumption curve.

Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) are endemic in Zambia and several other Sub-Saharan countries. They affect livestock production by causing high morbidity and mortality, resulting in increased production losses in terms of live-weight gain, milk production, off-take rates, and draft power. Herein, we applied a facility-based design to assess the proportion and seasonal distribution of theileriosis, babesiosis, anaplasmosis, and heartwater in cattle from selected smallholder farms in Lusaka and Central provinces of Zambia using laboratory records for microscopic examination of haemoparasites. The overall proportions for theileriosis, babesiosis, and anaplasmosis were 33.7% (95% CI: 30.7–38.2%), 8.3% (95% CI: 6.4–10.9%), and 0.5% (95% CI: 0.1–1.4%), respectively. Heartwater was detected in all the six laboratory records reviewed. Lusaka province had the highest proportion of theileriosis at 30.2% (95% CI: 25.5–35.3%), followed by babesiosis, 8.5% (95% CI: 5.8–11.9%), and anaplasmosis, 0.3% (95% CI: 0.01–1.6%). Similarly, Central province had the highest proportion of theileriosis at 39.5% (95% CI: 33.8–45.4%), followed by babesiosis, 8.4% (95% CI: 5.5–12.2%), and anaplasmosis, 0.7% (95% CI: 0.1–2.5%). Among the districts, Rufunsa district had the highest proportion for theileriosis at 70.6% (95% CI: 44.0–89.7%), followed by Kafue, 54.5% (95% CI: 23.4–83.3%), and Shibuyunji, 51.4% (95% CI: 34.0–68.6%). Analysis of seasonal variation revealed no statistical difference between the dry and wet seasons for theileriosis, babesiosis, and anaplasmosis. Furthermore, there was no statistical difference between Central and Lusaka provinces for babesiosis and anaplasmosis except for theileriosis. These data may have implications on farmers’ herd health management strategies with respect to TBDs, and farmers should be sensitized for effective implementation of risk-based disease control.

Published: March 2023

Hypertension significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular events and it is associated with high rates of disability and mortality. Hypertension is a common cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, which severely affect patients’ quality of life and lifespan. Current treatment strategies for hypertension are based primarily on medication and lifestyle interventions. The renal sympathetic nervous system plays an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension, and catheter-based renal denervation (RDN) has provided a new concept for the treatment of hypertension. In recent years, studies on RDN have been performed worldwide. This article reviews the latest preclinical research and clinical evidence for RDN.
Mitofusin 2 Sustains the Axonal Mitochondrial Network to Support Presynaptic Ca2+Homeostasis and the Synaptic Vesicle Cycle in Rat Hippocampal Axons
Authors: Vevea Jason D. , Chapman Edwin R.
Published: March 2023

Mitochondria exert powerful control over cellular physiology, contributing to ion homeostasis, energy production, and metabolite biosynthesis. The trafficking and function of these organelles are particularly important in neurons, with impaired mitochondrial function or altered morphology observed in every neurodegenerative disorder studied. While mitochondrial biosynthetic products play a crucial role in maintaining cellular function, their resulting byproducts can have negative consequences. Thus, organelle quality control (QC) mechanisms that maintain mitochondrial function are imperative to restrict destructive signaling cascades in the cell. Axons are particularly sensitive to damage, and there is little consensus regarding the mechanisms that mediate mitochondrial QC in this compartment. Here, we first investigated the unstressed behavior of mitochondria in rat hippocampal neurons of mixed sex, focusing on mitochondrial trafficking and fusion to better understand potential QC mechanisms. We observed size and redox asymmetry of mitochondrial traffic in axons, suggesting an active QC mechanism in this compartment. We also document biochemical complementation upon the fusion and fission of axonal mitochondria. Eliminating fusion by knocking down the neuronal mitochondrial fusion protein mitofusin 2 (MFN2) reduced the rates of axonal mitochondrial trafficking and fusion, decreased the levels of synaptic vesicle (SV) proteins, inhibited exocytosis, and impaired SV recruitment from the reserve pool during extended stimulation. MFN2 knockdown also resulted in presynaptic Ca2+dyshomeostasis. Remarkably, upon MFN2 knockdown, presynaptic mitochondria sequestered Ca2+more efficiently, effectively limiting presynaptic Ca2+transients during stimulation. These results support an active mitochondrial trafficking and fusion-related QC process that supports presynaptic Ca2+handling and the SV cycle.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTDecreased or altered mitochondrial function is observed in many disease states. All neurodegenerative diseases co-present with some sort of mitochondrial abnormality. Therefore, identifying quality control mechanisms that sustain the mitochondrial network in neurons, and particularly in axons, is of significant interest. The response of axonal mitochondria to acutely applied toxins or injury has been studied in detail. Although informative, the response of neurons to these insults might not be physiologically relevant, so it is crucial to also study the basal behavior of axonal mitochondria. Here, we use fluorescent biosensors to investigate the mitochondrial network in neurons and examine the role of mitofusin 2 in maintaining the axonal mitochondrial network and in supporting the synaptic vesicle cycle.
Eastern Sages in Roman Egypt
Authors: Pettipiece Timothy
Published: March 2023

Scholars have long been curious about the transmission of religious and philosophical ideas across Eurasia in antiquity. It is well known that Mani named a number of important figures from “Eastern” religious traditions—such as Buddha and Zoroaster—among his list of prophetic forerunners in an effort to establish his own authority as a religious teacher. Recently published portions of the Dublin codex of the Manichaean Kephalaia provide an additional attestation of this prophetological paradigm in an even more amplified form, as it includes figures not previously attested. Textual analysis of this new testimonium invites us to reflect on how Mani and his early followers imagined their relationships to other religious traditions. It will be shown that, while Manichaean textual traditions were an important conduit of religious information across Eurasia, modern interpreters should be cautious about supposing that ancient readers of Manichaean texts made any meaningful association between the names of these prophetic forerunners and particular doctrines, which by then had been fully naturalized as “Manichaean” teachings.

Imperialismo, discriminación y soberanía: el secuestro del avión presidencial de Evo Morales
Authors: Barrera Rivera Dan Abner
Published: March 2023

This study addresses the problems occurred between some of the hegemonic governments and the Bolivian government, from the arrest and hijacking ofvthe President Evo Morales Ayma’s airplane when it was at European lands on July 2, 2013. The objective of this article is to analyze how the imperial domination exercised by the government of the United States, with the support of four European countries, is present in that event – the historical transcendence that it has –, and the independence and sovereignty defended by the Bolivian government, represented by the first indigenous president of Latin America. This analysis takes into account the violation of international laws and conventions against the immunity and inviolability of a Latin American chief of state. This episode allows us to visualize some of the contemporary colonialist practices and visions coming from the First World countries practiced against Latin America, as well as allow us to see new forms of resistance and dignity, as a result of reactions of some left sectors and governments of Our America.

Authors: Montero-Bustabad Pedro
Published: March 2023

The Biblioteca Infantil Miriam Álvarez Brenes (BIMAB), is linked to the School of Librarianship, Documentation and Information of the National University (UNA). In 2018 it had a re-conceptualization under the roaming modality to provide services to communities (previously selected) with socially vulnerable child populations located outside the Omar Dengo University Campus. This involved to work with other professionals from various academic fields. This allowed the BIMAB to consider carrying out educational activities such as this one, performed for the first time in its history. So a virtual workshop on Informational and Digital Literacy (E-ALFIN) was held. This was addressed to its collaborators (student assistants and academic people of the BIMAB) together with allies of the community of Guararí (Heredia). It was facilitated by the academic head of the BIMAB, Pedro Montero Bustabad, together with the librarian of this information unit Flor Vargas Bolaños.
Mujeres y videojuegos: ¿un mundo de trabajo en transformación?
Authors: González-Sancho Roy , Obando-Reyes Fernando
Published: March 2023

This study analyzes the contrast between the conclusions provided by several international female academic productions and the life working experience communicated by four Costa Rican professional women in the development and analysis of videogames. The research encompasses the professional working conditions in the videogame industry for women. The investigation departs from a qualitative approach, with a descriptive scope. Furthermore, it uses the phenomenological method. The data analyzed comes from audiovisual productions and selected articles from countries in Latin America, Europe and the United States.  It also includes 4 in-depth interviews with young professional women in the sector.
The results indicate that in spite of some advance in inclusive measurements for women and other social collectivities, there are still maintained conditions and practices which are affecting and limiting the professional development of women.  Such practices can be found both in the so-called “first world” and in the Costa Rica´s emerging environment. Some possible guidelines are highlighted in order to revert this tendency.

Este estudo objetivou investigar o que as evidências científicas têm discutido sobre o uso dos exergames nas práticas da cultura corporal trabalhadas nas aulas de Educação Física na educação básica. Buscando, um entendimento deste recurso tecnológico e sua relação com o ensino, visto que, as escolas tendem ao uso de recursos tradicionais, mesmo sabendo que, fora dos muros, a realidade do aluno e do professor é de um mundo virtualizado. Com base nas pesquisas encontradas, olhamos mais atentamente para o que está sendo pesquisado referente aos exergames e a Educação Física, entre o recorte temporal de 2006 a 2022. De acordo com os resultados obtidos e por achar importante a inserção das tecnologias no contexto escolar, esta revisão recomenda que pesquisas futuras sejam desenvolvidas referente a utilização dos exergames como recurso pedagógico capaz de potencializar a inclusão de alunos com deficiência no contexto escolar nas aulas de Educação Física. Estudos voltados à esta temática, precisam levantar problemáticas e reflexões que não fiquem reféns de uma abordagem pedagógica que não acompanha as gerações virtualizadas que estamos ensinando.
Freshwater ichthyofauna of wetlands in Tablas Island, Romblon, The Philippines
Authors: Gonzalez Jeric B. , Gado Vincent Jay H. , Mantes Bernie G.
Published: March 2023

The Philippines is a hotspot for biological variety and a hub for endemism on a worldwide scale. Despite this, most of the research has focused on terrestrial and marine biodiversity, with little knowledge of freshwater fish diversity and status. There has been no systematic research on these species in Romblon. As a result, this research was conducted. This study aims to evaluate the freshwater fishes of Tablas Island, Romblon, utilizing modified hoop nets, gill nets, scoop nets, and hook and line. A total of 44 species belonging to 36 genera and 19 families were identified. They are often found in rivers, and streams, while most of them are native to the Philippines, where they are being eaten by natives. The IUCN Red List placed the majority of these species in the Least Concern category. The dominating species was Gambusia affinis, with Giuris margaritaceus being the most frequent across all sites. A new locality record of an indigenous minnow species (Barbodes hemictenus) was found. The ichthyofauna of Tablas Island is diverse, with local species dominating. Only two introduced species were identified as threatened (Vulnerable). On the other hand, the rest were classified as Least Concern, Unknown, Not Evaluated, and Data Deficient.

Published: March 2023

Objetivou-se por esse estudo compreender os estudantes do último ano do curso técnico integrado em agroecologia em suas percepções acerca dos movimentos de luta pela terra e reforma agrária, bem como promover a troca de saberes entre esses sujeitos e representantes de movimentos sociais do campo em reflexo ao currículo do curso. O curso técnico em Agroecologia do IFAL/Campus Murici – em sua organização curricular – não abrange pautas que almejam a troca de saberes, envolvendo aspectos sociais do campo, como a Reforma Agrária. Utilizou-se da pesquisa-ação, como também análise de conteúdo, documental e bibliográfica para avaliação dos resultados. Entendeu-se que os estudantes possuem distanciamento das reais proposições da Agroecologia, principalmente a Reforma Agrária. Sobre a organização curricular, esta encontra-se pautada no produtivismo alinhado à agronomia tradicional. A população que abrange assentados e acampados não compreende a real função do curso e a necessidade de ocupação desses espaços para promoção de justiça social como sujeito social.

Changes in the absorbed dose rate of external and internal exposure of the representatives of fish fauna of the cooling pond of the Chornobyl NPS and Lake Azbuchyn after the interruption of water supply into the cooling pond at the end of 2014 were investigated in 2014-2021. Changes in hydrological regime resulted in the decrease in water level in the cooling pond by 6.5-7.0 m, whereas in Lake Azbuchyn - by 2.5-3.0 m. In this case, 90Sr concentration activity in the water and biota increased. It has been found that in 2021 dose load from the incorporated 90Sr on fish of the cooling pond increased on the average by a factor of 4.5, whereas in Lake Azbuchyn - by a factor of 7.5 as compared to previous period (prior to a decrease in water level). The external dose rate for fish of the cooling pond remained almost unchanged, whereas in Lake Azbuchyn it increased as a result of replacing littoral and sub-littoral zones of the lake with the sections of the bottom characterized by an essentially higher level of radio-nuclide contamination.
Mechanical behaviour of soil under drying–wetting cycles and vertical confining pressures
Authors: Chao Zhiming , Shi Danda , Fowmes Gary
Published: March 2023

A system for preparing soil specimens subjected to drying–wetting cycles while under vertical confining pressures was introduced with clayey soil specimens subjected to different drying–wetting histories, and then the relative performance was tested using consolidated undrained triaxial shear tests. Meanwhile, their soil water retention properties were also measured. The experimental results indicated that drying–wetting cycles lead to a rise in the matric suction for soil with a high moisture content and a decrease in matric suction for soil with a low moisture content. Partly owing to the higher pore water pressure, peak shear strength reduces gradually during drying–wetting cycles. The impacts of drying–wetting cycles on the hydromechanical properties of soil specimens during the first cycle are greater than those during the second and third cycles, as the highest matric suction of soil occurs during the first cycle. The vertical confining pressure is shown to limit the impact of drying–wetting cycles on the hydromechanical properties of soil effectively because of its restricting effects on the volumetric deformation of soil during the cycles.
Planning cities for pandemics: review of urban and transport planning lessons from COVID-19

Published: March 2023

For the past few years, the world has been facing one of the worst pandemics of modern times. The COVID-19 outbreak joined a long list of infectious diseases that turned pandemic, and it will most likely leave scars and change how humans live, plan and manage urban space and its infrastructures. Many fields of science were called into action to mitigate the impacts of this pandemic, including spatial and transport planning. Given the large number of papers recently published in these research areas, it is time to carry out an overview of the knowledge produced, and synthesising, systematising and critically analysing it. This paper aims to review how the urban layout, accessibility and mobility influence the spread of a virus in an urban environment and what solutions exist or have been proposed to create a more effective and less intrusive response to pandemics. This review is split into two avenues of research: spatial planning and transport planning, including the direct and indirect impact on the environment and sustainability.
Investigating social sustainability in public housing
Authors: Abed Amal , Alzghoul Ola
Published: March 2023

Social sustainability plays an important role in improving life quality as it can foster good relations between community members. However, this phenomenon, the main goal of which is to enhance residents’ wellbeing, has not been given enough consideration in the housing sector. A study was undertaken to assess social sustainability in public housing projects with different spatial organisation in Jordan. This was achieved through an exploratory mixed-method approach that utilised four case studies of public housing projects. Spatial analysis was done for each research setting based on design criteria extracted from sustainability principles, including housing type and affordability, compact development, mixed land use, public spaces, schools, access to quality transit and walkability. A total of 474 responses were collected from residents of selected case studies to try to understand social sustainability in these residential neighbourhoods. Social sustainability was identified through six indicators: social equity, social capital, collective group and network, community stability, pride and sense of place and safety and security. The results showed that spatial organisation and design criteria have a major or significant effect on social sustainability. They also indicated that other variables affect social sustainability, including length of residency, ownership and proper relationship between housing unit space and family size.

Authors: Guerra Herrera Nancy , Niño Beltrán Lady Carolina
Published: March 2023

Objetivo:  El propósito de la investigación es exponer el efecto de la obsolescencia tecnológica programada en la gestión financiera personal realizada mediante apps financieras de Android. Método: Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo con diseño exploratorio basándose en una muestra de 73 aplicaciones de la play store que gestionan las finanzas personales. Se emplearon las técnicas de observación no participante y análisis exploratorio de datos recopilando la información en registros de observación. Resultados y discusión: Se determinó que la gestión financiera personal mediada por apps financieras es afectada negativamente por la obsolescencia tecnológica y que el hardware y software de los smartphones materializan una tipología de obsolescencia que a su vez impacta a la etapa de control financiero. Se evidenció la inexistencia de estudios que relacionen directamente la obsolescencia tecnológica programada con la gestión financiera personal que utiliza apps, por lo que no se comprende la importancia de la continua adaptabilidad a las actualizaciones de hardware y software de los smartphones, alterando la toma de decisiones financieras. Conclusiones: Las finanzas personales gestionadas con apps financieras y/o smartphones son vulnerables ante la obsolescencia tecnológica, generando inseguridad en el manejo tecnológico de la información financiera ocasionando pérdida en su control financiero.

Published: March 2023

This protocol, based on published work, demonstrates how to delivery Cas9 RNP-based gene editing reagents to cultured mamallian cells by electroporation with a Lonza 4d Nucleofector in the small scale 20 ul 16-well strip format. However, it can be upscaled accordingly for the use of the bigger 100 ul cuvettes with the same device. Different cell lines need different nucleofector solutions, nucloefector programs and number of cells per reaction.

Objective. To determine the effect of fear and coping with death on compassion fatigue in nurses working in the intensive care unit.

Methods. Correlational-predictive design, applied in 245 nurses working in the intensive care unit through intentional sampling. The study applied a personal data card, the Collet-Lester Fear of Death Scale (α=0.72), the Bugen Fell of Death Scale (α=0.82), and the Empathy Exhaustion Scale (α=0.80). Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed, such as Spearman's test and a structural equation model.

Results. The work had 255 nurses who participated, finding a relationship among fear and coping toward death and compassion fatigue (p<0.01), together with the equation model showing that fear and coping toward death have a positive effect in 43.6% on compassion fatigue.

Conclusion. Fear and coping with death have an effect on compassion fatigue in nurses working in the intensive care unit, so that when working in a critical area it can cause health effects
