Published: April 2020

Inside clinical research, gait analysis is a fundamental part of the functional evaluation of the human body's movement. Its evaluation has been carried out through different methods and tools, which allow early diagnosis of diseases, and monitoring and assessing the effectiveness of therapeutic plans applied to patients for rehabilitation. The observational method is one of the most used in specialized centers in Colombia; however, to avoid any possible errors associated with the subjectivity observation, technological tools that provide quantitative data can support this method. This paper deals with the methodological process for developing a computational tool and hardware device for the analysis of gait, specifically on articular kinematics of the knee. This work develops a prototype based on the fusion of inertial measurement units (IMU) data as an alternative for the attenuation of errors associated with each of these technologies. A videogrammetry technique measured the same human gait patterns to validate the proposed system, in terms of accuracy and repeatability of the recorded data. Results showed that the developed prototype successfully captured the knee-joint angles of the flexion-extension motions with high consistency and accuracy in with the measurements obtained from the videogrammetry technique. Statistical analysis (ICC and RMSE) exhibited a high correlation between the two systems for the measures of the joint angles. These results suggest the possibility of using an IMU-based prototype in realistic scenarios for accurately tracking a patient’s knee-joint kinematics during a human gait.

Authors: Rahardjo Paulus P , Sutandi Caroline 
Published: April 2020

Traffic condition in Jakarta has reached critical level without the support of adequate public transportation. Jakarta MRT is another transportation mode proposed for the solution. However, this system will not respond to the issue without integration with existing transportation modes i.e., Bus-Trans-Jakarta and LRT. This paper discusses the geotechnical and traffic engineering aspects of the design and construction of Jakarta MRT. In geotechnical perspectives, the fact that soil conditions in Jakarta are soft, so construction requires careful design and method to reduce disturbance to existing traffic conditions. Diaphragm wall used with top-down construction has been proved as the best solution and the use of TBM is required. In traffic engineering perspectives, all existing transportation modes are considered in the determination of MRT station locations as well as the challenge of substructures construction in the soft soil area. Considering public safety during construction, it has been designed with combined elevated railways at the south corridor and subway in the northern corridor. This study concluded that the selection of the station locations considering integrated all public transportation modes is a must and the construction method for subsurface structures should be selected carefully to reduce traffic disturbance in Jakarta and to keep public safety.

Background: Antibiotics are one of the commonly prescribed drugs over the world. Overprescribing of antibiotics may result in serious bacterial resistance. The main cause of inappropriate prescription of antibiotics is the absence of guidelines and protocols for its use. The aim of this study was to evaluate the appropriate use of ceftriaxone (broad-spectrum third generation cephalosporin antibiotic) in internal medicine wards of Wad Medani teaching hospital in Sudan, as well as comparing its use with reference to the standard of Sudan treatment guidelines and reliable references like British National Formula (BNF) and Sanford guide.
Methods: Prospective cross –sectional study conducted in the internal medicine department at Wad Medani Teaching hospital by reviewing the files of all in-patients admitted to medical wards, who received ceftriaxone between November and December, 2018 and the appropriateness use of ceftriaxone was evaluated depending on six criteria: indication, dose, frequency, duration of treatment, culture and sensitivity test and drug –drug interaction
Results: A total of 280 admitted patient’s treatment chart containing ceftriaxone injection were analyzed. Ceftriaxone was indicated empirically in 91.1% mostly for respiratory tract infection (35%). Ceftriaxone appropriate dose was given in 59% of patients, inappropriate frequency in 68.9% and incorrect duration in 51.1%. Co-administered drugs with major interaction in 3.6% of patients.
Conclusions: This study revealed high inappropriate use of ceftriaxone where it was given without implementing culture and sensitivity test in the majority of patients. This may result in treatment failure so educational programs is recommended to address the irrational use of antibiotic.

Applying technology in learning English language is indispensable in the period of industry 4.0 and global integration. However, what technological techniques should be applied in teaching and learning process is the most serious concern. Evidence shows that different technological applications may lead to various learning outcomes, detrimental effects, even spoiling learning interest or motivations. Therefore, this paper is aimed not only to explore the multiple dimensions of recoding video clips in group (RVCIG) in learning English speaking skill but also illustrate how this activity (RVCIG) influences on learners’ English speaking improvement. Apparently, these explorations and illustrations help to consider whether this RVCIG is widely used in teaching English speaking process or not. To do that, a quantitative research method with the tool of semi - structure interview is used to collect various information, mixed feedbacks or motivations from 2 groups of students fully participating in recording three video clips in group within course. Additionally, a questionnaire survey is also sent to 33 English learners for exploring both commendable and detrimental influences of this RVCIG on English speaking development. The findings indicate that RVCIG makes learners have various opposite experiences in language competence, confident expression, and communication, as well as cope with unavoidable challenges of time consuming, technological problems, and group member’ disagreements. Whatever advantages or disadvantages of this RVCIG activity has, learners also express their interest and expectation of recording video clips in group for purposes of English speaking improvement, mutual engagement, collaborative learning and building friendship.

Authors: Al-Jawaldeh Ayoub , Abul-Fadl Azza 
Published: April 2020

Background: Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) plays an important role in the reduction of infant mortality. Although Cesarean section (CS) can save lives it delays EIBF and thereby increases risk of mortality.
Aim: To examine the relationship between CS and EIBF with child mortality.
Methods: Data was recruited from recent demographic health surveys for 129 provinces of seven Eastern Mediterranean countries. The data was analyzed for breastfeeding initiation (EBFI) rates in the first hour and the first day, feeding prelacteals, delivery by skilled birth attendant (SBA), and delivery by CS, also neonatal mortality (NMR), infant mortality rates (IMR) and under-five mortality rates (U5MR). Statistical analysis was done using Pearson correlation and descriptive statistics. The economic cost of unnecessary CS correlated to mortality rates and EBFI.
Results: Overall CS was inversely associated with EBFI in the first hour after birth (r-0.2, P=0.1), intake of prelacteals (r-0.3, P=0.008) and NMR (r-0.3, P=0.1), IMR (r-0.4, P=0.0001), and U5MR (r-0.4, P=0.0001) at P<0.05 and positively associated with EBFI in first day (r0.2, P=0.06). CS below the recommended level by WHO (<15%) was inversely associated with IMR. Moderately high CS >18% was inversely correlated with EBFI and positively correlated with intake of prelacteals, NMR and IMR. Very high CS >40 was inversely correlated with mortality at P<0.01. Unnecessary CS was significantly inversely correlated with U5MR.
Conclusions: CS when unnecessary or by unskilled birth attendant, is a threat to child survival. Breastfeeding initiation, as early as possible skin-to-skin, is recommended to alleviate the outcome of CS.

The influence of parenting styles on the psychosocial wellbeing of Nigerian adolescents is yet of be given adequate research attention. This study bridges the gap in knowledge. Findings may be useful in planning appropriate interventions program necessary to improve the psychosocial wellbeing of adolescents in Osun state, southwestern Nigeria and relation with similar social-cultural backgrounds. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 332 (mean age = 14) in-school adolescents who responded to Mental Health Continuum – Short Form (MHS-SF) and Parenting Style Instrument (PSI). Descriptive and inferential statistics (Regression, Independent sample t-test and One Way ANOVA) were used for data analysis. A low level of psychosocial wellbeing was observed among the adolescents. Prevalence of very low levels of emotional wellbeing (16.9%), social wellbeing (22%), and psychological wellbeing (19.3%) were reported. Patterns of observed parenting styles are authoritative parenting style (45.5%, 41.6%, and 12.9%), authoritarian parenting style (53%, 30.7% and 16.3%); permissive parenting style (64.2%, 20.7% and 15.1%) for low, high and very high levels respectively. No significant gender difference was observed in the psychosocial wellbeing scores of the adolescents; a significant religious affiliation difference was found in the social wellbeing of the participants. Adolescents from public schools manifested higher levels of social wellbeing than their counterparts from private schools. Parenting styles significantly predict level of psychosocial wellbeing of the adolescents. Neither family type nor family size had significant influence on the level of psycho-social wellbeing of the adolescents.

Published: April 2020

As illegal mining in Ghana has become increasingly rampant ever, this study aimed at examining the effect of illegal mining on the dimensions of sustainability performance among crop farmers and the challenges they face because of illegal mining in the Ashanti Region, Ghana.
To investigate the intriguing connections among illegal mining and sustainability performance among crop farmers, this paper draws on multidisciplinary literature and collects empirical data from 250 respondents in the Atwima Nwabiagya and Atwima Mponua Districts, Ghana to test the proposed model and hypotheses using structural equation modeling.
All the three (3) elements or paradigms of sustainability performance were negatively affected by illegal mining activities. It was also observed that a significant positive relationship exists among all the elements of sustainability performance hence a consequence on one element may affect the other.
Unlike most research on illegal mining that has been theoretical, this study represents one of the few empirical analyses of how illegal mining may affect sustainability performance

Öz
Amaç: Sosyal aktivitelerin herhangi bir aksilik olmadan yürütülmesi ve hastane uygulamalarının en aza indirilmesi günümüzün KOAH hastalarına yönelik başlıca yaklaşımları arasındadır. Bu, hem işgücü kaybını hem de finansal kayıpları en aza indirmek için özel bir önem taşımaktadır. Çalışmamızın amacı KOAH hastalarının sosyoekonomik ve demografik özelliklerinin acil durum ve hastane uygulaması, hastaneye yatış ve hastanede yatış süresi üzerinde bir etkisi olup olmadığını değerlendirmektir
Yöntem: Hastanemiz akciğer hastalıkları polikliniği ve acil servislerine başvuran toplam 225 hastadan oluşan 45 ile 82 yaşları arasında 78 kadın ve 147 erkek KOAH hastası olmak üzere Mart 2019 ve Eylül 2019 tarihleri ​​arasında prospektif çalışma yapılmıştır. Takip için klinikte hastaneye kaldırıldı. Tüm hastalara 20 sorudan oluşan bir anket uygulandı. Olgularımızın sigara içip içmediği, eğitim durumu, yaşam ortamı, ilaç kullanımı, evlerindeki sağlık kolaylığı (oksijen tüpü-konsantratörü ve / veya nebülizör) ve hastane uygulamaları için değerlendirmeler yapıldı.
Bulgular: Hastaların 78'i (% 34.7) kadın, 147'si (% 65.3) erkek, yaş ortalaması 65.8 + 9.7 (41-84) idi. Hastalarımız arasında geçen yıl 10 kereden fazla hastaneye başvuranların oranı% 18.7 idi. Hastalarımızın% 12'si en az 5 kez uygulanırken 52'si acil durum için geçerli değildi. Tüm olgularımızın% 24'ü hastaneye kaldırıldı. Olgularımızın ortalama yatış süresi (23.4 + 19.7) gündü.
Sonuç: Kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı olan hastaların hastaneye uygulanması ve hastaneye yatırılması sigara içip içmediklerinden, eğitim düzeylerinden, ekonomik durumlarından, yaşam ortamlarından, düzenli ilaç kullanımından etkilenirken; evlerinde sağlık kolaylığı olması, hastane uygulamalarını etkilemez. Kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı olan hastaların sosyoekonomik ve demografik özellikleri, hastalıklarının prognozunda ve hastane uygulamalarında etkilidir. Bu nedenle, KOAH hastalarının ideal bir yaşam ortamı oluşturma konusunda farkındalığı artırılmalı ve gerekli cihazların alımı ve kullanımı konusunda eğitim ve destek almalıdırlar.
