Liderazgo en enfermería: ¡Es hora de dar un paso al frente!
Authors: Villarruel A.M. 
Published: September 2021

Dentro del informe de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS) titulado Orientación estratégica para enfermería en la Región de las Américas, una de las principales recomendaciones identificadas fue fortalecer y consolidar el liderazgo y la gestión estratégica de la enfermería en el contexto de los sistemas de salud para la formulación de políticas y seguimiento.
¿Por qué es tan importante desarrollar el liderazgo entre las enfermeras hoy en día? Primero, debe reconocerse que las enfermeras SON líderes, ya sea en la cabecera de la cama, en la sala de juntas o en el gobierno. Los profesionales de enfermería son expertos en valorar una situación de manera integral, identificar el problema y los enfoques con los pacientes, las familias y las comunidades, implementar y evaluar los resultados y reajustar según sea necesario.
Persistencia microbiana de importancia intrahospitalaria en uniformes clínicos a raíz de la pandemia de COVID-19
Authors: Kappes M.S. 
Published: September 2021

Introducción: El lavado de manos es la medida que más impacta en la prevención de infecciones asociadas a la atención en salud. Hay poca evidencia del rol que cumplen los uniformes clínicos como vector en transmisión cruzada de infecciones en hospitales.
Método: Se realizó una revisión rápida con criterios Cochrane y lista de chequeo PRISMA con acceso a bases de datos PubMed, Ovid, ProQuest y Google Académico en español e inglés del 2010-2020. El objetivo establecido fue buscar evidencia sobre la persistencia de microorganismos de importancia intrahospitalaria en uniformes clínicos, a raíz de la actual pandemia de COVID-19. El análisis crítico de los artículos se realizó con ayuda de herramientas del Joanna Briggs Institute (checklist estudios analíticos, serie de casos, texto y opinión, ensayos clínicos controlados y revisiones sistemáticas).
Resultados: En la búsqueda inicial se obtuvieron 1703 artículos, de los cuales fueron seleccionados 8. Se encuentra evidencia de presencia de microorganismos en uniformes clínicos. Las zonas más contaminadas son bolsillos y mangas. MERS-COV y SARS-COV han mostrado persistencia en aluminio hasta 48 horas, madera 4 días, papel hasta 24 horas. En género, el SARS-COV-2 ha demostrado una persistencia de 2 días.
Conclusiones: Existe evidencia de la persistencia de microrganismos bacterianos y virales en uniformes clínicos. Los lugares más contaminados son bolsillos y mangas. Al contacto está demostrada la presencia de microrganismos en uniformes clínicos horas después. Se deben implementar medidas que tomen en cuenta el rol potencial de transmisión de patógenos durante el uso de uniformes clínicos en hospitales.
Comment Letters on Annual Reports: Evidence from an Emerging Market
Authors: Yang Shuo 
Published: September 2021

SYNOPSIS
This paper examines comment letters on firms' annual reports in an emerging market. The literature primarily focuses on comment letters issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), although many other market regulators also use SEC-style comment letters. Comment letters can potentially be very impactful in emerging markets due to weak institutions and low disclosure quality in these markets. Using comment letters in China from 2015 to 2019, I find that the market response to the receipt of comment letters is significantly negative and associated with the severity of the comment letters. The receipt (severity) of comment letters is associated with adverse regulatory consequences, CEO turnover, corrective actions to remedy financial reporting, and poor future financial performance in the propensity score matched sample (recipient sample). Overall disclosure quality in the post-review year does not increase, but some comment letter topics prompt topic-specific financial reporting changes.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
Background: The advent of digital healthcare services has become paramount in the world we live in today. Digital healthcare involves the use of information and communication technologies in addressing the medical problems and health-related challenges faced by people seeking medical treatment. This study assesses the impact of digital healthcare among technologically literate people in Southwestern Nigeria (SWN) and seeks to understand its accessibility and acceptability among them. Methods: The study was a cross-sectional study. Our study data was obtained through an online questionnaire survey of 427 individuals (aged ≥15 years) living in SWN. The data were analyzed using the SPSS version 25 software. Results: The study found that roughly half of the respondents (52.0%) have heard about digital healthcare while only 44.0% have accessed it. Over seven-tenth (76.3%) of the respondents considered digital healthcare to be an acceptable form of receiving healthcare while 64.4% were willing to pay for it. Age (X2=7.702, p-value = 0.021), occupation (X2=20.685, p-value = 0.004) and awareness about digital healthcare (X2=55.507, p-value = 0.001) were significantly associated with accessibility of digital healthcare. Conclusion: The findings obtained from this study showed that awareness of digital healthcare was high among people in SWN; however, its accessibility was low. Also, digital healthcare was highly acceptable amongst them and they were willing to pay for such service.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
Introduction: Head and neck cancer (HNC), oral cancer inclusive (OC), is one of the major causes of cancer-related deaths globally, especially in Nigeria – a developing African country. Public literacy about HNC plays a very crucial role in HNC prevention. Aim: This study aimed to systematically review existing literature on literacy of HNC in Nigeria. Methods: We searched the PubMed, Google Scholar and AJOL databases for all relevant English articles published on HNC literacy in Nigeria from January 2000 till October 2020. Only relevant articles were included for the study. Quality assessment of the full text of the included articles was done using the Appraisal Tool for Cross-Sectional Studies (AXIS); also, relevant data were extracted from these articles and analyzed thematically. Results: A total of 21 articles (19 surveys and 2 interventional studies), which studied a total population of 7,883 people, were included in the study. All the included articles were rated “excellent” (70 – 100%), regarding quality. The awareness rates of HNC/OC, as documented in the included studies, ranged from 0% to 100%; however, the rate recorded in the majority of these studies was <50%. In-depth knowledge of HNC/OC was found to be generally poor among the surveyed population groups; however, education intervention was found to improve in-depth knowledge of HNC and attitudes toward peer and nonpeer education about HNC among Nigerians. Conclusion: The level of knowledge regarding HNC, in Nigeria, is low. The use of relevant health education programs to boost knowledge about HNC among the Nigerian public is highly recommended.
The Infected Economy: Interrogating the Early Economic Impacts of COVID-19 Pandemic in Nigeria
Authors: Olarinde Muftau Olaiya , Amzat Jimoh 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
COVID-19 pandemic infests every sphere of life, including the economy, thereby accounting for tremendous economic calamities on a global scale. Some of such calamities are still evolving. This paper examines the economic impact of COVID-19 with particular emphasis on Nigeria within the early days of the pandemic. The article established its theoretical foundation through a marriage of both AK-type of endogenous growth theory and endogenous growth model with an assumption of increasing returns to scale. Using a simple descriptive technique, the article identified the devastating economic impacts of the pandemic on the oil-dependent economy in the short run. The paper identifies four fundamental COVID-19 economic shocks; the declined price of oil; unplanned increase in health spending, temporary shutdown of the local economy; and unanticipated palliative needs. Some of these impacts also include loss in income and output, increasing rate of unemployment, and poverty contributing to the disruption of the previously steady growth rate. In the longer term, COVID-19-related damages will have no or insignificant negative impact on growth. The economy is bound to bounce back on a steady growth path provided the quality of institutions is strengthened to the extent of surmounting the disruptive shocks.

Authors: Abdollahi Ensiyeh , Nikanfar Saba , Zolfaghari Mohammad Reza , Fattahi Amir 
Published: September 2021

Abstract

Study aim: In this study, we evaluated the effects of acute and chronic exercise on the plasma FAs and their association with cardiac hypertrophy indices.

Material and methods: In this pilot study, 15 sedentary and 15 athlete women underwent acute and long-term water aerobic exercise and their plasma FA levels and a number of electrocardiographic parameters, such as left ventricular end-diastolic diameter index (LVEDDI), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular mass index (LVMI), and wall thickness were evaluated before and after the exercise program.

Results: The acute exercise significantly increased palmitic and oleic acid levels in non-athletes and stearic acid in both groups. However, the same type of exercise decreased linoleic acid only in non-athlete women (p < 0.05). The water aerobics training caused a significant decrease in the levels of palmitic, stearic, and arachidonic acid, SFA/UFA, and ω3/ ω6 ratios and also an increase in α-Linolenic acid and MUFA in non-athletes. We found positive and negative correlations between LVEF with ω3 and SFA/UFA ratio in both groups, respectively. In the non-athlete group, the ω3/ω6 ratio showed negative correlations with LVMI and LVEDDI.

Conclusions: The study indicated that the 12-week exercise by sedentary women could make their plasma FAs composition similar to athlete women. Moreover, the plasma FA levels were associated with cardiac hypertrophy indices, showing the importance of FAs in physiological hypertrophy.
Office Building’s Occupancy Prediction Using Extreme Learning Machine Model with Different Optimization Algorithms
Authors: Motuzienė Violeta , Bielskus Jonas , Lapinskienė Vilūnė , Rynkun Genrika 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Increasing energy efficiency requirements lead to lower energy consumption in buildings, but at the same time occupants’ influence on the energy balance of the building during the use phase becomes more crucial. The randomness of the building’s occupancy often leads to the mismatch of the predicted and measured energy demand, also called Energy Performance Gap. Therefore, prediction of occupancy is important both in the design and use phases of the building. The goal of the study is to apply Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) models with different optimisation algorithms – Genetic (GA-ELM) and Simulated Annealing (SA–ELM) for occupancy prediction in an office building based on measured CO2 concentrations. Both models show similar and high accuracy of prediction: R2 – 0.73–0.74 and RMSE – 1.8–1.9 for the whole measured period. Influence of population size, number of neurons, and number of iterations on results accuracy was also analysed and recommendations are given. It was concluded that both methods are suitable for occupancy prediction, but because of different simulation times, SA-ELM is recommended for the Building Management Systems (BMS), where higher speed is required.

Published: September 2021

Background:
Diversion of prescription opioids pills is a significant contributor to opioid misuse and the opioid epidemic. The goal of this study was to determine the frequency and quantity of excess opioid pills among patients undergoing spine surgery. Further, we wanted to determine the frequency of appropriate opioid disposal.

Methods:
This was a prospective cohort study of patients undergoing elective spine surgery within a multi-hospital, academic, urban university health system enrolled in a text-messaging program used to track postoperative opioid disposal. Patients who self-reported discontinuation of opioid use but with leftover pills were contacted via telephone and surveyed on opioid disposal.

Results:
Of the 291 patients who enrolled in the text-messaging program, 192 (66%) patients reported discontinuing opioids within 3 months of surgery. Although 76 (40%) reported excess opioid pills after cessation of use, only 47 (62%) participated in the telephone survey regarding opioid disposal. The median number of leftover pills among these 47 patients was 5 (5, 15) and 64% had not disposed of their prescription.

Conclusion:
Among the 47 telephone survey participants, a persistent gap remained in postoperative opioid excess and improper disposal. Future efforts must focus on initiatives to improve opioid disposal rates to reduce the quantity of opioids at risk for diversion and to reduce excess prescribing.

Published: September 2021

Indonesia and Malaysia are the two countries that come from a family of the Malay Archipelago. These two countries were born after a different colonial occupation namely the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. However, each country has a different press system and policy. This study aims to look at the main objectives of Indonesian and Malaysian press policy trough critical reviews of secondary data obtained from library research based on categories in two stages of newspaper development in pre and post-independence. This study found that, in Indonesia, in the pre-independence era, the main objectives of Indonesian press policy were to control security and public order, and abuse of the press, during the Japanese occupation as Preventive censorship, and Propaganda. In the Post-Independence, the main objectives policy of the press namely as Freedom of Press, support 'political manifesto' and Implementing the "Pancasila Press System". Meanwhile, In Malaysia, in the pre-independence era, the main objective of the policy press was as controlling the press as a medium of internal racial conflict among the Chinese in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur due to differences of support for the Chinese monarchy since 1911, and propaganda machinery. In Post-Independence, the main objective of the press is to control and maintain the political stability of the country and prevent racial riots due to political and economic crisis. This study concludes that the main objectives of the Indonesian and Malaysian Press Policy are made in accordance with the direction of the system and political policies of the ruling regime.

Фактор фон Виллебранда (vWF) является мультимерным гликопротеином, который играет ключевую роль в осуществлении тромбоцитарного и плазменного гемостаза. В последние годы выявлено участие vWF в ангиогенезе, апоптозе нормальных и опухолевых клеток, определена его транспортная роль. Комплекс vWF и фермента ADAMTS-13, который отвечает за его расщепление, имеет существенное значение в развитии воспалительных процессов. Механизмы такого участия vWF различны и включают в себя взаимодействие с микроорганизмами, форменными элементами крови и продуктами их распада, внеклеточными ловушками нейтрофилов, системой комплемента и др. Уникальные свойства молекулы vWF при сепсисе способствуют развитию и прогрессированию коагулопатии. Системное воспаление вносит дополнительный вклад в опосредованное ADAMTS-13 локальное ингибирование расщепления vWF и усугубляет дисбаланс соотношения vWF/ADAMTS-13, тем самым способствуя развитию распространенной внутрисосудистой коагуляции. Образование ультрабольших мультимеров vWF и дефицит ADAMTS-13 выявлены при сепсисе, тяжелом течении COVID-19, черепно-мозговой и сочетанной травме, остром повреждении почек и др. В основе патогенеза возникающей при этом полиорганной недостаточности лежит развитие микроангиопатии и микрососудистых тромбозов. Возможными методами коррекции нарушений в системе vWF/ADAMTS-13 являются применение терапевтического плазмообмена, гепарина, N-ацетилцистеина, рекомбинантного ADAMTS-13, препаратов магния.
Von Willebrand factor (vWF) is a multimeric glycoprotein that plays a key role in platelet and plasma hemostasis. In recent years, the involvement of vWF in angiogenesis, apoptosis of normal and tumor cells has been revealed, and its transport role has been determined. The complex of vWF and enzyme ADAMTS-13, which is responsible for its splitting, is essential in the development of inflammatory processes. The mechanisms of vWF participation in inflammatory processes varies and include interaction with microorganisms, blood cells and their degradation products, neutrophil extracellular traps, the complement system, etc. The unique qualities of the vWF contribute to the development and progression of coagulopathy in sepsis. Systemic inflammation enhances local inhibition of vWF cleavage and exacerbates an imbalance in the vWF/ADAMTS-13 ratio, which contributes to the development of intravascular coagulation. The formation of ultralarge vWF (ULvWF) multimers and ADAMTS-13 deficiency were detected in sepsis, severe COVID-19, craniocerebral and concomitant trauma, acute kidney injury, etc. The pathogenesis of the resulting multiple organ failure due to the accumulation of ULvWF is based on the development of microangiopathy and microvascular thrombosis. Possible methods for correcting disorders in the vWF/АDAMTS-13 system are the use of therapeutic plasma exchange, heparin, N-acetylcysteine, recombinant ADAMTS-13, and magnesium preparations.

Published: September 2021

Введение. Существуют данные об активации системы гемостаза в виде формирования гиперкоагуляции при вахтовой работе в циркумполярных территориях. Новым перспективным методом, способным оценить как гипер-, так и гипокоагуляционные состояния, является тест генерации тромбина (ТГТ). Цель исследования: анализ динамики параметров ТГТ в условиях трансширотного морского арктического рейса. Материалы и методы. Выполнено проспективное клинико-лабораторное исследование во время трансширотной экспедиции «ТрансАрктика-2019». Отбор образцов плазмы для ТГТ у 52 членов экспедиции выполнен в нулевой точке (г. Архангельск, 64°33’ с. ш., 40°32’ в. д.) до выхода судна в рейс и в самой высокой точке экспедиции (остров Хейса, архипелаг Франца–Иосифа, 80°34’ с. ш., 57°41’ в. д.) на 18–20-е сутки арктического рейса. Параметры кинетики тромбина определены на анализаторе Ceveron- alpha с TGA-модулем (Technoclone, Австрия). Результаты. В высокой точке транширотного рейса время лаг-фазы (tLag) и время достижения пика тромбина (tPeak) были значимо меньше, чем в исходной нулевой точке, что указывало на состояние гиперкоагуляции. Значения эндогенного потенциала тромбина (AUC) у членов экспедиции были существенно больше в высокой точке экспедиции. Заключение. Нахождение в высоких широтах возможно связано с формированием состояния гиперкоагуляции.
Background. Data are exist about hemostasis activation in the form of hypercoagulation during rotational work in circumpolar territories. Thrombin generation assay (TGA) is a new perspective method for assessing both hyper- and hypocoagulation. Objectives: to analyze the dynamics of TGA parameters in trans- latitudinal Arctic sea voyage. Patients/Methods. A prospective clinical and laboratory study was carried out in 52 expedition members during the trans- latitudinal expedition “TransArktika-2019”. Plasma samples for TGA were taken at the zero point (Arkhangelsk, 64°33’ N, 40°32’ E) prior to the ship’s voyage and at the highest point of the expedition (Heiss Island, Franz Josef Land, 80°34’ N, 57°41’ E) on 18–20 days of the voyage. Thrombin kinetic parameters were determined on a Ceveron-alpha analyzer with a TGA-module (Technoclone, Austria). Results. At the highest point of the trans-latitudinal voyage, the lag phase (tLag) and the time to peak thrombin (tPeak) were statistically less than at the initial zero point that pointed to hypercoagulation. The endogenous thrombin potential (AUC) values were significantly higher at the highest point. Conclusions. Location in high latitudes is possibly associated with the formation of hypercoagulation.
Colour, Hell of a Good Thing!
Authors:   , Burke Belinda 
Published: September 2021

<p>Although the importance of colour as a fundamental element in architecture has heightened in literature recently, there is little research that explores the potential for its use in New Zealand. This design-led research explores how Mexican Architect Luis Barragan’s strategies in choreographing magical atmospheres through light and colour can influence contemporary architectural practice in New Zealand. Three predominant strategies are determined; coloured light, coloured latticework and planes of colour. Analogue design experiments engaging with the analysis of these strategies provoke further enquiries. This research investigates how the design of a residential house in South Wairarapa seeks integration with Barragan’s light/colour strategies from Mexico. This is influenced by a photographic and illustrated analysis of the site’s climatic characteristics and architectural context of the region, and is subsequently tested through the design processes and methodology of Barragan’s including written narratives, sketching and physical modelling. Finally, exterior and interior colour schemes are visualised through drawings that interrogate relationships between the proposed architecture and its surrounding environment and atmospheres desired. This research demonstrates one approach to designing with light and colour for New Zealand architecture to generate emotional, magical atmospheres. The findings of this research suggest that the element of contrast is important in generating the mysterious or unexpected, giving impact to the extraordinary quality of coloured moments. It further acknowledges that the public concern of colour is just as crucial as its private concern, and both must be considered with respect to the project’s individual context. It is hoped that this research will raise confidence in using colour in New Zealand as a powerful spatial tool and means to express individuality and identity. </p>
