Published: January 2025

Benanain River is the longest and largest river on Timor Island, with a length of 132 km and an area of 6,460.12 km². In this region, a significant factor affecting the presence of surface water sources is rainfall. To compensate for the lack or unavailability of automatic Rainfall Data (RD) in the Benanain River Basin (BRB), Global Rainfall Measurement (GPM) data from 1998 to 2018 (20 years) were used. The accuracy of GPM rainfall analysis was obtained when parameter conformity and compatibility with data recorded at Rainfall Station (RS) were maintained. The difficulty of predicting rainfall values, spatially and temporally, in the field led to data gaps and unreliable data for analysis needs. Additionally, RD obtained from observation stations contributed to measuring rainfall because there was insufficient RD for analysis in a few regions. The challenge of accurately predicting rainfall values in the field led to differences in data, rendering it unreliable for analysis. To address this issue, satellite data was required as an alternative method to estimate rainfall. Among a total of 7 RS, only 2 passed rainfall characteristic tests. Following this discussion, Lahurus station showed a correlation coefficient of 0.7046, an RMSE of 25.89, and an NSE of 0.476. In addition, the rainfall characteristic test result for Haliwen Station was 1.66 (R100/R2). The second station that passed was Kaubele Station, signifying a correlation coefficient of 0.7907, RMSE of 25.28, and NSE of 0.604. Additionally, the rainfall characteristic test result for Haliwen Station was 3.04 (R100/R2) and the daily performance of the GPM product in the rainy season with low rainfall (≤ 50 mm) was better compared to extreme rainfall (≥ 100 mm). In this study, corrected GPM daily RD in the range >100 mm was underestimated. This analysis implied that the GPM IMERG Final Run product on daily and monthly rainfall timescales had strong detection capabilities and provided data support for long-time series investigations on Timor Island.

El objetivo de estudio fue comparar los perfiles de autoeficacia percibida en el cuidado de la alimentación y la salud física entre adolescentes deportistas y no deportistas. La muestra fue seleccionada a través de un muestreo por conveniencia y estuvo conformada por 398 adolescentes de Chihuahua, México, con edades entre 15 y 18 años (M = 16.17, DE = 0.94), donde 109 (27.4%) practicaban deportes y 289 (72.6%) no. Se utilizó la Escala de Autoeficacia en el Cuidado de la Alimentación y Salud Física (ACASF), de 28 ítems distribuidos en cinco factores: ejercicio físico, cuidado de la alimentación, afrontamiento de problemas, evitación del consumo de alcohol y evitación del consumo de tabaco. El diseño de la investigación fue descriptivo, no experimental y transversal. Los resultados obtenidos mediante análisis de varianza multivariante (MANOVA) y univariados (ANOVA) indicaron que los adolescentes deportistas presentan mayor autoeficacia percibida, actual y deseada, en el factor ejercicio físico, en comparación con los adolescentes no deportistas. Asimismo, en el factor afrontamiento de problemas, los deportistas mostraron niveles significativamente más altos de autoeficacia en relación con los no deportistas. En conclusión, este estudio pone de manifiesto el papel predictivo de la práctica de actividad física en la autoeficacia, sugiriendo que una mayor participación en actividades deportivas está asociada con una mayor autoeficacia percibida. Esto resalta la importancia de diseñar intervenciones que fomenten la práctica deportiva entre los adolescentes, lo que podría contribuir a mejorar sus decisiones relacionadas con su bienestar físico y sus hábitos de salud.

Published: January 2025

This report is a survey of the archaeological sites found within the Lunugamvehera National Park in southern Sri Lanka. The Lunugamvehera National Park (now Yala Block VI) is a designated protected area under the Fauna and Flora Protection Ordinance of Sri Lanka and listed as a National Park in 1995 to protect the catchment area of the Lunugamvehera Reservoir, which was completed in 1985. The topography of Lunugamvehera is of a gently rolling terrain with several large rock outcrops and small rainfed streams and tanks. Scattered on the rock outcrops are several archaeological monuments of ancient Buddhist monasteries indicating early settlements. Human settlements in the area continued till the 1980s when the population was resettled due to the construction of the reservoir. This survey is based on multiple field visits and contain verified sites as well as potential sites ranging from early historical monastic sites to abandoned 20th century settlements. The report documents ten verified archaeological sites, three potential archaeological sites and thirty five unverified archaeological sites and features. The archaeology of the park has not been studied scientifically and this report hopes to encourage further scientific investigation into the archaeology of the park.
Can Integrity be Safeguarded? Factors Predisposing to Non-Invasive Ventilation Associated Skin Injury (NASI)
Authors: Jayan Nair Pooja 
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Over the last two decades, there has been a significant increase in the use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) therapy. However, this therapy has been linked to the development of pressure injuries in 10% to 31% of patients, with 5% to 20% of these cases resulting in nasal bridge pressure ulcers. Safeguarding skin integrity in patients on NIV is essential, yet challenging due to factors such as mask pressure, duration of use, and patient skin sensitivity. This study aims to identify and analyse the factors predisposing patients to NASI to develop better preventive strategies.
Objective: The primary objective of the study is to identify factors contributing to Non-invasive ventilation Associated Skin Injury (NASI) in patients on the non-invasive ventilator.
Material & Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was adopted.70 patients on non-invasive ventilation (NIV) therapy were recruited for the study. The sampling technique employed was non-probability purposive sampling. Ethical permission was obtained from the local IRB and written informed consent was taken prior to the study. Observation Checklist was used and data was analysed using descriptive statistics.
Results & Analysis: The findings suggest that majority (37%) patients were above 78 years and 33% between 39-58 and 30% belong to 59-78 years respectively. Mean age is approximately 65.4 years. The incidence of NASI was noted in 33 % patients and 67% patients did not have any signs and symptoms of NASI. Varying degrees of skin injury was observed in patients with incidence of NASI, 16% experienced first-degree Noninvasive Ventilation Associated Skin Injury (NASI), 12% experienced second-degree NASI, and only 5% were diagnosed with third-degree NASI. High-frequency factors identified were incorrect positioning or size of the mask, lack of protective skin barrier, infrequent assessment and lack of communication prior to application.
Discussion: This study's findings highlight several factors that predispose patients to NASI. Key among these are the duration of NIV therapy, the type and size of the mask, and patient-specific factors such as skin sensitivity and underlying health conditions.
Conclusion: Prevention of NASI requires a multifaceted approach, including regular skin assessment, appropriate interface selection, padding and securing interfaces adequately, optimizing fit and positioning, implementing pressure relief strategies, maintaining skin hygiene, providing patient education, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration among healthcare professionals.
Outcomes Of Nurses Led Community-Based Intensive-Phase Drugs Resistant Tuberculosis (DR-TB) Treatment Pilot in Montserrado, County, Liberia
Authors: S. Fahnbulleh Shirley , Z. Mianue Lydia 
Published: January 2025

Background: TB Annex Hospital was the only center in the country treating DR-TB in 2017 after Ebola, when the community-based intensive-phase multi-drugs resistant tuberculosis treatment was piloted in Montserrado, County to decongest the DR-TB ward and improve treatment outcomes. To date, there are only two hospitals providing treatment for DR-TB in the country.
Intervention: The intervention of the study was to evaluate the implementation of community-based intensive-phase of DR-TB treatment pilot project in Montserrado County that would inform the decentralization of DR-TB treatment centers to mitigate the disease burden.
Methods: A prospective cohort study with real-time data collection, where six DR-TB patients were enrolled into the community-based intensive treatment phase for a period of six to seven weeks (01 July to September 2017). All the patients spent about six months in the TB Annex Hospital before transitioning into the community-based treatment pilot.
Results: Six DR-TB patients (3 or 50% males, 3 or 50% females for Rifampicin were recruited during the study period, with 100% (6/6) recovery rate during the pilot; no defaulter nor death. The patients’ age ranged from 20 years to 35 years, with mean age of 26 years. Half (50%) of the patients were between the ages (25-29 years). The average length of stay in the initial phase of treatment (i.e. in the TB Annex Hospital) was 224 days or 8 months, while the minimum and maximum days were 155 and 195 days respectively. On the other hand, the average days spent by patients during the home-based treatment were 41 or 6 weeks, while the minimum and maximum days were 33 and 51.
Conclusion: Addressing tuberculosis is one of the major priorities for the Ministry of Health and key health partners in Liberia, there are both human resource and limited human resources and health facilities to manage patients according to standard treatment guidelines. Once patients are stabilized and have at least two-three (3) consecutive negative AFB smears; they can be safely transitioned to home-based or community-based treatment, with active involvement of stakeholders, including nurses, doctors and other family care givers. This helps in reducing crowdedness and workload for staff in facility with limited bed occupancy while promoting health and well-being of patients. Although the sample size used in the study is fewer to generalize the findings, it is important to consider the lessons learnt from the pilot when decentralizing DR-TB treatment in Liberia. There is also a need to increase the awareness of this using the print, electronic and social media to get the message across to the community dwellers. Additionally, getting the community health workers involve is an added benefit.

Published: January 2025

Background: The FAST-HUG-BID mnemonic is a checklist designed for critically ill patients.
Aim: To determine the cognitive and technical competencies of nursing professionals in the application of the FAST-HUG-BID "Quick Hug" mnemonic applied to patients in Critical Care Units of the Private Banking Health Fund in La Paz.
Methodology: This research was organized using a cross-sectional study. Data collection took place during the first semester of 2022. The study area was the Private Banking Health Fund, Obrajes Zone in the City of La Paz.
Results: More than 75% have 5 or more years of work experience, and 42% have a Master's degree. Regarding knowledge and practice, the level of knowledge evaluated is minimal in 50% of subjects (χ² = 7.7, P-value < 0.05), accepting the null hypothesis that knowledge and techniques are important factors in the quality of care. The knowledge and technique required to properly apply this mnemonic by professional staff represent one of the best strategies to ensure high-quality nursing services.
Conclusions: These results underscore the critical importance of closing the gap between academic training, work experience, and the practical application of specific tools such as FAST-HUG-BID in critical care units. Despite having experienced and highly educated staff, the lack of practical knowledge in this specific area suggests the need for more effective and focused continuous education strategies, as well as regular competency assessment to ensure the highest quality in ICU nursing services.

Authors: Aldwi Riandhoko  , Amalita Nonong , Vionanda Dodi , Salma Admi 
Published: January 2025

Unemployment is a problem that occurs in the labor force, where high unemployment is caused by the low ability of the labor force. A region that is still experiencing unemployment problems in West Sumatera is Lima Puluh Kota Regency. Unemployment in Lima Puluh Kota Regency is caused by the low competence of human resources to fulfill employment market requirements. Based on the results of the Sakernas survey in August 2023, Lima Puluh Kota Regency has more employed labor force than unemployed labor force, so this results in unbalanced data. A method that can overcome unbalanced data is Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE). SMOTE is a technique with addition of synthetic data in minority class so that the proportion is balanced. Data imbalance conditions need to be handled so as to improve the performance of the classification model. Classification and Regression Trees (CART) is a classification technique with a decision tree method that can obtain the characteristics of a classification. The purpose of this research is to compare the CART model before and after applying SMOTE which can be measured by comparing the highest Area Under Curve (AUC) value. The AUC value in the CART method before SMOTE applied has a value of 62.1% while the AUC value in the CART method after SMOTE applied has a value of 70.2%. Therefore, it can be concluded that the CART classification analysis after SMOTE applied is able to provide better performance compared to the CART classification analysis before SMOTE applied.

The molecular docking has become a powerful computational tool for new drug research and design, playing a key role in predicting interactions between drug-related ligands and their potential target proteins. However, molecular docking and virtual screening simulation software currently available require researchers to make numerous configurations and navigate unintuitive menus, necessitating significant process optimization. The present work used existing tools for molecular docking, designing a set of coherent computational programs among themselves, with the aim of expediting work with many ligands and target proteins, and simplifying the simulations performed simultaneously, making these techniques accessible to researchers with limited computational skills. The aim was to design an open-source tool, free and simple to use for the academic community, through the URL: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AiwrqGMGvesstXgOcz3Hn1Q2mfI9?e=903be7, offering a robust format for the presentation of results, conceptualized as a massive report of rows and columns that facilitates the management and interpretation of a large amounts of data.

Resumen. La simulación de acoplamiento molecular se ha convertido en una poderosa herramienta computacional para el descubrimiento y diseño de fármacos, desempeñando un papel fundamental en la predicción de las interacciones de unión entre ligandos de interés farmacológico y sus dianas potenciales.
