Abstract

Purpose:
The diagnoses of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) and hemangiopericytoma (HPC) have evolved over the past decades. Due to histopathological similarities, they were grouped as the same entity highlighting the complexity of this rare condition. Previous studies suggest that orbital HPC-pattern tumors are more aggressive than SFTs. We analyzed the histopathological and immunohistochemical features of patients with orbital SFT/HPC to further classify this entity.

Materials and Methods:
We reviewed eight orbital SFT/HPC cases from McGill University Health Centre (2011–2019). All of them were diagnosed as SFT, three with HPC pattern. Vascular proliferation (HPC) and spindle cell morphology (SFT) were evaluated. The tumors were stained with STAT6, CD34, Ki67, SMA, EMA, and S100 protein and further analyzed.

Results:
The average age was 49 years, and seven were male. Follow-up ranged from 6 to 96 months. Three patients (two males and one female) had an HPC pattern (average age of 54 years). Five male patients had only SFT pattern (average age of 46 years). In HPC cases, STAT6 was negative, CD34 and SMA were positive, S100 protein and EMA were negative, and Ki67 was low (5%–10%). In SFT cases, STAT6 and SMA were positive, CD34 was positive (in spindle cells and vessels for two cases, vessels only in three), S100 protein and EMA were negative, and Ki67 was low (5%–20%).

Conclusion:
These results highlight the pathological variability of orbital SFT/HPC. Immunohistochemical profiling helps differentiate between SFT and SFT with HPC pattern, which is essential, as HPC have a higher risk of recurrence and malignant transformation.

Abstract

Introduction:
Gamification, the application of game-like elements in nongame settings, has shown promise for increasing motivation across various sectors. However, their application in healthcare volunteering, particularly in Saudi Arabia, remains limited and understudied. Healthcare volunteers play a crucial role in service delivery; however, sustaining their motivation can be challenging.

Aims:
This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of gamification in enhancing motivation among healthcare volunteers in Saudi Arabia. Specifically, it examined the impact of gamification on situational motivation, distinguishing between intrinsic and extrinsic motivators, and assessed volunteers’ perceptions of the effectiveness of gamification.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional mixed-methods design was used with a sample of 24 healthcare volunteers from a single organization in the Asir region. Participants completed pre- and postintervention surveys incorporating the Situational Motivation Scale (SIMS) and open-ended questions. The 4-week gamification intervention introduced elements such as points, badges, and leaderboards, to encourage engagement. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired-sample t-tests to assess changes in motivation levels, while thematic analysis was conducted on the qualitative responses.

Results and Discussion:
Preintervention data indicated generally high baseline motivation, with 54.2% of participants rating their motivation as highly motivated. The postintervention results revealed a statistically significant increase in intrinsic motivation (mean SIMS score: 6.53, standard deviation: 0.76), indicating that gamification positively influenced engagement. The thematic analysis highlighted core motivators, including skill development, community services, and personal growth. While participants appreciated gamification elements such as recognition and rewards, some raised concerns regarding fairness and the potential for competition to detract from the collaborative spirit. The findings suggest that gamification can effectively enhance both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation among healthcare volunteers, particularly when designed to align with their values and motivations. The study highlights the need for thoughtful implementation, ensuring that gamification supports rather than undermines the community-focused values prevalent in volunteer settings.

Conclusion:
This study demonstrates the potential of gamification as a viable tool for boosting motivation in healthcare volunteers, provided it is balanced by cultural and motivational factors. Healthcare organizations that consider gamification in volunteer management should prioritize fairness, transparency, and alignment with intrinsic values to foster sustainable engagement.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Patient satisfaction with health care describes the degree to which patients’ needs and expectations are met, and an acceptable level of service is provided. Additionally, it is also a measure of the quality of care that patients receive. Therefore, plays a major role in determining the relationship between the quality of healthcare services provided and patient confidence. It is important predictor of patient compliance, their ability to follow instructions, and their adherence to treatment, as well as for, determining their future use of health services. This is why patient satisfaction is increasingly considered as vital in assessing the general quality of care and thus in improving health services.

Aims:
This study set out to explore dental patients’ satisfaction with the service provided by private clinics in Riyadh in terms of accessibility, the availability and convenience of the facilities, cost, pain caused from dental procedures, the overall quality of treatment received, and the continuity of service.

Materials and Methods:
From January to February 2021, we conducted a cross-sectional study online survey of 420 patients to investigate their satisfaction the services provided by private dental clinics in Riyadh. Based on a previous questionnaire created by John, the online DSQ covered five key domains, namely, accessibility, cost, availability and convenience, pain, service quality, and additionally, overall level of satisfaction with the service. The resulting data were analyzed statistically using the SPSS-22 program and chi-square tests.

Results and Discussion:
The current study showed that, based on the demographics of the sample, among the five domains investigated, four were statistically significant as only the cost of dental procedures was not. Accessibility, availability, pain, and continuity were ranked highest among the younger participants and those with a lower educational level indicated greater pain from dental procedures. With regard to the quality of the dental service, again the youngest age group registered a higher level of satisfaction with the males taking the lead.

Conclusion:
The study showed that patient satisfaction with dental care is a valid measure of the quality of care and that having a service that meets the patients expected level of satisfaction should go a long way in helping to improve service delivery. Therefore, measuring the patients’ satisfaction with the service is an important factor in improving the service provided and so this should be done regularly.
EXPORT-LED GROWTH: TRADE POLICY PROSPECTIVE OF PAKISTAN
Authors: Ahmed Rafiq , Iqbal Muhammad , Akhter Faheem 
Published: December 2024

This study examines the proposition that exports cause growth in gross domestic product GDP in the economy of Pakistan from 1973 to 2022. The study intends to analyze the export promotion strategy that was adopted by Pakistan's economy in the 1990s. Cointegration test reveals there is a long-run relationship between these two variables. However, causality is proved in both short and long-run from GDP to exports. The Trade openness and export growth both are prolonged association but in case of Pakistan persistent depreciation of PKR could not achieve desired level of export earning which implies that J-Curve theory does not exist in Pakistan. This implies that growth in the domestic production base is vital to expansion in exports. The government or policymakers should give importance to and incentivize various production sectors of an economy so that they can contribute to the expansion of export markets.

Authors: Constantino Murillo Sandra , Barriopedro Moro María Isabel 
Published: December 2024

Los factores psicosociales son claros mediadores en la percepción del dolor, por lo que se han añadido técnicas psicológicas al tratamiento convencional. Sin embargo, su uso es limitado en Para atletas con discapacidad física, a pesar de la evidencia que destaca su importancia.
Objetivo: conocer la percepción que tienen los Para atletas de alto nivel competitivo con discapacidad física y el personal de los equipos deportivos (entrenadores, fisioterapeutas y psicólogos) sobre 1) cómo el dolor puede afectar el desarrollo de la carrera deportiva del deportista, y 2) qué técnicas y/o estrategias conocen y/o implementan para el manejo del dolor.
Metodología: veinte participantes vinculados al deporte de élite con discapacidad física fueron entrevistados a través de videoconferencia. Las entrevistas fueron guiadas mediante una guía temática semiestructurada y tuvieron una duración de 30 a 50 minutos. El método de análisis utilizado fue fenomenológico interpretativo.
Resultados: El dolor tiene un impacto negativo en la carrera deportiva del Para atleta, ya sea directamente porque impide la correcta ejecución de gestos técnicos, o indirectamente a través de consecuencias psicológicas como el miedo y el estrés que impiden que los atletas puedan alcanzar sus objetivos deportivos. Los participantes utilizaron numerosas técnicas y estrategias para el manejo del dolor. Hubo una clara discrepancia entre los psicólogos y los Para atletas en cuanto a las técnicas psicológicas. Los Para atletas percibieron que las técnicas
estaban orientadas a mejorar el rendimiento deportivo y no a apoyarles en el tratamiento del dolor.
Conclusiones: Se evidenció que varios factores influían negativamente en la carrera deportiva del Para atleta. Futuras investigaciones deberían incluir técnicas psicológicas, que ayuden al deportista con discapacidad física en este aspecto.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: The Indonesian Criminal Justice System does not recognize concepts related to restoration, such as restorative justice, alternative conflict resolution, circular punishment, or ishlah. The idea of restoration is generally not recognized by the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), which is based on the concept of legality.Purposes of the Research: To study and discuss the actual existence of the function and impact of the concept of restoration (restorative justice, alternative dispute resolution, circular punishment, and circular punishment or Ishlah) in the development of the Indonesian Criminal Justice System.Methods of the Research: This research uses a normative research methodology with a qualitative approach to investigate the concept of restoration and its consequences for various applicable laws and principles.Results of the Research: The findings of this research show that the concepts of recovery and restoration, such as alternative dispute resolution and punishment, are concepts that prioritize the interests of the parties involved, especially the principles of win-win solutions and recovery. This has been used to resolve criminal cases that meet standards at both the investigation and prosecution levels as one way to resolve criminal cases. The application of these ideas in the Indonesian Criminal Justice System is a deviation from the basic principles of the Criminal Procedure Code, namely the principle of legality which must be observed at all times. It is recommended that methods for implementing restorative ideas be included in the Draft Criminal Procedure Code (RKUHAP). Some examples of this mechanism are alternative dispute resolution, circular punishment, and ishlah. Thus, the concept of restoration can be legally and formally recognized as a principle in the Indonesian Criminal Justice System when put into practice.
<b>A Comprehensive Survey of Genetic Programming Applications in Modern Biological Research</b>
Authors: Khan Mohammad Wahab 
Published: December 2024

Genetic programming (GP) has emerged as a powerful tool over the past two decades, leveraging evolutionary algorithms to navigate high-dimensional solution spaces effectively. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of GP's applications across various scientific domains, with a particular focus on bioinformatics and drug discovery. We discuss how GP facilitates the quantification, localization, and functional analysis of proteins. We highlighted its role in improving mass spectrometric (MS) peptide detectability through advanced pre-processing techniques. By enhancing the identification accuracy of peptides in proteomics, GP has significantly surpassed traditional methods. Additionally, we explore GP's capabilities in pattern matching and motif discovery within protein and DNA sequences, underscoring its utility in cancer research and biomarker detection. The paper also examines the integration of GP with machine learning strategies to address challenges in mass spectrometry, enabling the identification of biomarkers from complex datasets. Furthermore, we discuss innovative GP-based methods for predicting protein structure and function, as well as its application in drug discovery, where it outperforms conventional machine learning techniques in predicting pharmacokinetic properties. Through this survey, we aim to elucidate the versatility and effectiveness of genetic programming in tackling complex biological problems, paving the way for future research and applications in the life sciences.

A estética da existência afro-quilombola no Vale do Rio Guaporé: mulheres que dançam a vida
Authors: Lourenço Sonia Regina 
Published: December 2024

Este ensaio se detém em uma interpretação da Dança do Chorado como um ato performativo de mulheres afro-quilombolas do Vale do Guaporé, coreografada antes do Ofertório a São Benedito. O Chorado é uma criação estética dos encontros entre as alteridades no Atlântico Negro. A partir do conceito de heterogênese e rito de performativo, procuro mostrar, que no século XX, décadas depois da luta por direitos do povo negro e quilombola, o coletivo de mulheres do Chorado transforma a dança, outrora um rito performativo de persuasão, de encantaria e de controle do poder dos senhores brancos para evitar atos de violência contra elas e a seus parentes, em uma convenção coreográfica coletiva ao operar simulações de intenções das artes afro-quilombolas na Amazônia, em confluência com o riso, a comensalidade, a corporalidade, a ancestralidade e a territorialidade, a alegria em dança na construção de si como mulheres negras.

Authors: Drougas Vasileios , Drouga Ifigeneia V. 
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the fatigue of the Chemistry Teachers who teach the Science of Chemistry in the first grade of high school in Greece. Twenty secondary school teachers aged 40-50 who teach first grade during the last two hours of the program participated in the study. In this research, significant problems were found in teaching and teacher fatigue and serious conclusions can be recorded about teaching the last two hours in the school. Also searched how the students participated in the previous hours of the weekly program in the last two days of the week. Teachers feel tired in the previous hours and it seems that it is difficult to teach chemistry science. They do not have the ability and time to participate in any laboratory experiments with the students. Founded that students are very tired in the last two hours. It turns out that they would like more hours of Chemistry in the weekly schedule for the first grade and think that it is difficult for the students to pay attention to the Chemistry teaching. Also in the last hours, many students leave the school. The research recognizes that it is much better to have chemistry lessons in the first hours of the school schedule rather than the last hours, also to have more time in the first grade for the chemistry lesson so that the teachers can use laboratory experiments with the students and to have more time for teaching.

Authors: Hoffman Martins Sandra Emilia , Martinez Manuela Rocío 
Published: December 2024

El objetivo del artículo es describir los obstáculos con los cuales se encontraron extensionistas rurales de Corrientes y Misiones, Argentina para desempeñar su labor por el hecho de ser mujeres en dos instituciones nacionales de desarrollo rural. Se trata de un estudio cualitativo, exploratorio y descriptivo en el cual se realizaron 15 entrevistas semiestructuradas a extensionistas rurales mujeres, y que fueran analizadas, de acuerdo a su contenido, mediante la construcción de categorías de la información recabada a partir del software Atlas - Ti. En los resultados obtenidos se describen tres categorías que fueron tomadas de los relatos de las extensionistas: 1- Dificultades Laborales con Compañeros, 2- Dificultades Laborales con Productores Rurales y 3- El Tiempo, como factor importante para la transformación de estos obstáculos. Como conclusión se destaca la importancia de la creación de políticas públicas e intervenciones institucionales que favorezcan a visibilizar la perspectiva de género a partir de una mirada integral en el ámbito de la extensión y el desarrollo rural. Además, se sugiere que el tema abordado en este trabajo sirva como aporte a los Estudios de Género y a la Psicología Organizacional.
