Published: December 2024

Contract cheating is a serious problem faced by universities today that must be prevented immediately. This academic crime is mostly committed during the final project by students so so that each campus must have a clear policy to overcome this problem. After implementing the policy, it is necessary to conduct an evaluation to see whether the policy needs to be continued or not. The research design used is mixed methods, with a goal-oriented evaluation model. Quantitative data collection techniques were carried out by conducting surveys to alumni and qualitative data collection techniques used were interviews and documentation studies. The evaluation results show that this policy has a positive impact in reducing and preventing the practice of contract cheating in students' final projects. This result is also supported by campus assertiveness towards staff involved in this fraudulent practice.

Published: December 2024

En 2018, cerca de once países confirmaron 1.194 casos, entre estos se encuentran Antigua y Barbuda, Estados Unidos, Brasil, Perú, Colombia, Argentina, Canadá, Ecuador, México, Guatemala y Venezuela. Según el Ministerio de Salud Pública se conoce que el sector de Manabí cuenta con una tasa de acceso de la población general de un 45,3% El objetivo principal de la investigación se basa en el análisis y descripción de la compilación de datos con respecto a “La prevalencia de la vacuna triple viral y su asociación con las reacciones adversas del sistema inmune”, con la finalidad de brindar una información más acertada de la inmunización, puesto que hoy en día es lo que ha salvado la vida de millones de individuos en el mundo. Se utilizó una metodología narrativa de tipo descriptiva, realizando una búsqueda sistemática de los últimos 6 años, en las bases de datos PubMed, Dialnet, Latindex, NIH, entre otros. Los resultados obtenidos reportan que existe un índice >50% en la cobertura vacunal de América Latina y Europa. En todo el mundo las tasas vacunales se mantienen hasta 95%, aún con existencia de efectos adversos en pequeña cantidad poblacional, como reacciones anafilácticas, convulsiones, inflamación, afección gastrointestinal y respiratoria, erupción cutánea, púrpura trombocitopénica, etc. Se concluye que en muchas ocasiones se han dejado de lado los programas de vacunación por ende ha resurgido, más incidentemente el sarampión, por lo que se deben tener mejores programas de vigilancia epidemiológica y aseguramiento en las dosis que se deben de recibir.
Exploring the Education Mismatch: A Phenomenological Study of Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) Teachers Assigned Outside Specialization
Authors: Demapendan John Paul C. 
Published: December 2024

Purpose of the study: This study investigates the experiences, challenges, job performance, financial and professional impact, coping strategies, and perceptions of Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) teachers who are assigned outside their area of specialization.
Methodology: This study utilized a phenomenological approach. Twelve public school TLE (Technology and Livelihood Education) teachers were purposively selected based on their years of teaching outside their specialization and their willingness to participate. The data collection technique included the profiling of participants and the use of open-ended questions designed to elicit detailed descriptions of the participants’ experiences, challenges, and coping strategies. The data gathered from the interview sessions and written responses were transcribed and thematically analyzed to identify emerging themes.
Main Findings: The findings indicate that TLE teachers are often assigned to subjects like Filipino, MAPEH (Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health), Values Education, Social Studies, English, and Science, mainly covering MAPEH and Filipino. This leads to challenges such as anxiety and questions about pursuing further education, hindering their professional growth. While the financial impact is negligible due to the provided materials, the mismatch affects teaching performance and student trust. Teachers often collaborate, use multimedia, and engage in self-directed learning to cope.
Novelty/Originality of this study: This study presents a comprehensive analysis of how TLE teachers teaching outside of specialization impact the quality of education provided to students. It recommends implementing free retooling programs, offering scholarship grants, and providing teacher training. The study emphasizes the need for teachers to teach within their specialization and for strengthening community partnerships to address the shortage of specialized educators.

Published: December 2024

Background and aim
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the leading cause of human stomach infections. Accurate diagnosis is ucial for the effective management of H. pylori, leading to the eation of numerous diagnostic techniques, including both invasive and noninvasive methods.

Methods
This study thoroughly examines the diagnostic accuracy of the H. pylori Stool Antigen (HpSA) test in comparison to the rapid urease test (RUT). Background and aim HpSA test, known for being non-invasive, cost-effective, and quick, is contrasted with the fast but invasive RUT. Conducted on 100 adult patients from June to December 2022, the study utilized a comprehensive diagnostic approach, including medical history evaluations, physical exams, abdominal ultrasounds, laboratory tests, and careful stool sample collection. Additionally, all participants underwent RUT, stool antigen tests, and histopathology examinations.

Results
The findings revealed that the HpSA test identified more positive H. pylori cases (73) than the RUT (59) (P<0.01). Although RUT results closely matched histopathology outcomes, both RUT and histopathology showed greater accuracy than HpSA. Furthermore, RUT demonstrated higher sensitivity (98.2%) and accuracy (98.3%) compared with HpSA, while specificity was similar for both tests.

Conclusion
The HpSA test is a straightforward and noninvasive diagnostic method that is easy to use in laboratory settings. On the other hand, the RUT is known for its high accuracy and sensitivity. Together, these characteristics make the HpSA test a valuable alternative for diagnostic purposes.

Published: December 2024

Background:
The use of multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the diagnosis of meningoencephalitis is increasing. We assessed the performance of meningoencephalitis panel (MEP) FilmArray in patients with suspected central nervous system (CNS) infections at our center.

Methods:
All patients who underwent multiplex PCR testing in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were included in the study. Results of routine CSF parameters along with multiplex PCR were analyzed.

Results:
Thirteen out of 89 CSF samples tested were positive by MEP FilmArray. All patients with positive PCR had abnormal CSF. Patients with suspected acute CNS infections had more positive results than chronic CNS infections (30% vs. 11%). The etiological diagnosis was possible in 12 additional patients with abnormal CSF parameters compared to conventional tests alone.

Conclusions:
Multiplex PCR is a useful add-on test for etiological diagnosis in patients suspected of acute CNS infections in the presence of abnormal CSF parameters. It also helped in antimicrobial stewardship by stopping or de-escalating of antibiotics.

Authors: Mukhtar Isyaku Gwarzo , Elkhashab Mohamed Mabrouk , Salim Muhammad Ali , Ibrahim Salisu Ahmed , Yarube Isyaku Umar 
Published: December 2024

Background:
Apolipoprotein Ɛ4 has been established as a risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia among Caucasians; however, the relationship among Black Africans has not been consistent.

Aims:
This study aimed to determine the sex-related differences in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and its association with apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphism and sociodemographic factors amongst community-dwelling older persons in Kano, Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:
One hundred and forty-three participants (males = 65 and females = 78) were randomly recruited. APOE was genotyped from peripherally extracted genomic DNA using the sequence-specific primer polymerase chain reaction with Hhal digestion. Cognition was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Basic (MoCA-B). Data were analysed using the SPSS software.

Results:
The mean age of the participants was 65.69 years. The prevalence of MCI was 63.64%, and females were more affected (73.08% vs. 52.31%, χ
2 = 6.609; P = 0.010). The frequency of APOE genotypes was: E3/3-48%, E3/4-25.9%, E2/3-15.4%, E2/4 and E4/4-4.2%, and E2/2-2.8%, while its allelic distribution was: Ɛ3-68.2%, Ɛ4-19.2%, and Ɛ2-12.6%. Age and years of formal education were the independent predictors of the MoCA-B score. They explained 68% of the variance in MoCA-B score, while possession of at least one Ɛ4 allele (χ2 = 37.949, P < 0.001), low level of formal education (χ2 = 20.035, P = 0.001), being female (χ2 = 6.609, P = 0.010), being single (χ
2 = 6.303, P = 0.012), and having a lower monthly income (χ2 = 16.884, P = 0.001) were associated with MCI.

Conclusions:
The prevalence of MCI among older persons in Kano, Nigeria, is high and is associated with low levels of education, female sex, advanced age, low income, and APOE Ɛ4.
Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential and ABR in vestibular migraine: Is there a correlation?
Authors: Zein-Elabedein Ahmed Mahmoud , Talaat Hossam Sanyelbhaa , Omran Nancy Fathy , Moaty Asmaa Salah 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background:
Vestibular migraine (VM) is distinguished by the temporal overlap between migraine and vestibular symptoms. However, accurate diagnosis is crucial to determine an appropriate therapeutic strategy.

Aims:
Our primary aim was to investigate the characteristics of auditory brainstem response (ABR) and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) shown by VM and migraine patients compared to healthy controls and to determine the correlation between ABR and cVEMP.

Settings and Design:
This case–control study comprised 120 female and male participants aged 18–45 years from November 2022 to October 2023.

Subjects and Methods:
The participants were equally divided into Groups 1 (VM), 2 (migraine), and 3 (healthy controls). ABR and cVEMP were performed for all participants, besides computing the disparities between the right and left sides.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Chi-square, analysis of variance, Fisher’s exact, Kruskal–Wallis, and Spearman’s correlation were used, with P < 0.05 indicating statistical significance.

Results:
The cVEMP P13 and N23 latencies of migraine and VM patients were significantly longer than those of controls. The results revealed insignificant differences in P13-N23 amplitude as well as ABR waves and interpeak latencies across all groups. However, the interaural interpeak latencies significantly differed across the groups. The combined analysis of cVEMP and ABR demonstrated no significant correlation between c-VEMP and ABR results among the groups.

Conclusions:
Patients with migraine and VM showed audiovestibular abnormalities. Both VM and migraine patients, who experienced abnormally delayed P13 and N23 latency compared with healthy controls, are suggested to have subclinical vestibular dysfunction in the vestibulocollic pathway.

Abstract

Aim:
The aim is to evaluate the advantages of the dedicated Adaptive Phonak Digital Bimodal (APDB) fitting formula compared to the traditional National Acoustic Laboratories Non-Linear 2 (NAL-NL2) for contralateral hearing aid (HA) in bimodal cochlear implant (CI) users.

Settings and Design:
Cross-over bicentric study involving 10 adult bimodal Advanced Bionics CI users with usable contralateral hearing.

Subjects and Methods:
Participants were provided with a dedicated Naída Link Q90 HA. Speech recognition in noise was assessed with the Italian Matrix Sentence Test. The competing noise was presented at a fixed level of 55 dB HL. The speech level was changed adaptively to calculate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) targeting at a score of 50% correct words. Outcomes were compared in three configurations, with CI only, with APDB and with NAL-NL2. Subjective hearing benefit was assessed using the Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ) questionnaire in both bimodal configurations.

Results:
Speech intelligibility in noise showed significantly better results for both bimodal configurations (P < 0.001) compared to CI only (mean 9.1 dB SNR ± 5.7) and for the APDB formula (mean 2.25 dB SNR ± 2.4) compared to NAL-NL2 (mean 3.3 dB SNR ± 2.7; P < 0.05). Responses to the SSQ demonstrated a trend for improvement with APDB compared to NAL2/NAL in the “space” subgroup and a statistically significant difference in favor of APDB for “other sound qualities” (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:
The APDB fitting formula has been shown to be beneficial for binaural bimodal CI users, both in speech intelligibility test results and subjective perception of hearing comfort.
