Clinical and Ultrasound Features of Constrained Extensor Carpi Ulnaris Tendinopathy; Stenosing Tendovaginitis and Tendinosis in the Patients with Dorsal Ulnar-sided Wrist Pain
Authors: Sato Junko , Ishii Yoshinori , Noguchi Hideo , Takahashi Ikuko 
Published: December 2024

Aims:
To investigate the ultrasound and clinical features of constrained Extensor Carpi Ulnaris (ECU) tendinopathy to have a better understanding of ulnar-sided wrist pain.

Background:
The cause of dorsal ulnar-sided wrist pain tends to be vague and unclear due to too many closely adjacent small structures. Constrained ECU tendinopathy has been scarcely reported, and it is unknown how often this disorder is found among the wrists with such pain.

Objective:
The purpose of this study was to compare the patients’ backgrounds between two groups; the wrists diagnosed as constrained ECU tendinopathy by using ultrasonography and the other dorsal ulnar-sided painful wrists.

Methods:
Totally 103 wrists from 103 consecutive patients (45 men and 58 women; age 13-78 years; mean age 43.7 years) who visited our clinic with dorsal ulnar-sided wrist pain were examined by physical test and sonography. We separated them into two groups of wrists with or without constrained ECU tendinopathy and compared patients’ data between them.

Results:
Twenty-six wrists (25%) were diagnosed as constrained ECU tendinopathy mainly located in the distal area than the ulnar osseous groove. All of them were ECU tendovaginitis and 15 wrists were concomitant with ECU tendinosis. The results of the comparison showed the proportion of females was higher, that of patients who have relevant sports activity was lower, and patients’ age was slightly higher in the wrists with constrained ECU tendinopathy (p<0.05).

Conclusion:
Among the wrists with dorsal ulnar-sided pain, constrained ECU tendinopathy occurs more frequently in middle-aged to elderly women and less frequently in sports-related patients, These tendencies are similar to other stenosing synovitis such as de Quervain`s disease.

Others:
For vague dorsal ulnar-sided wrist pain, physician should be aware of these tendencies and the advantage of ultrasonography given that constrained ECU tendinopathy might be frequently encountered more than expected.

Investigating the Norwegian eHealth Governance Model: Document Study (Preprint)
Authors: Linstad Line Helen , Bjørnå Hilde , Moen Anne , Tunby Kristiansen Truls , Hansen Anne Helen 
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Governments and policy makers struggle to achieve a balance between hierarchical steering and horizontal governance in systems characterized by fragmented decision authority and multiple interests. To realize its One Citizen–One Journal eHealth policy vision, the Norwegian government established a special eHealth board of stakeholders to create an inclusive governance model that aligned stakeholders’ interests with the government’s ambitions through coordination and consensus. Little empirical knowledge exists on how countries realize inclusive governance models.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to investigate how the Norwegian inclusive eHealth governance model was developed as a tool to align the government’s policy ambitions with stakeholders’ concerns from January 2012 to December 2022.

METHODS

This document study used a thematic analysis based on a constructivist research approach. We included 16 policy documents and 175 consultation response documents issued between January 2012 and December 2022 related to the Norwegian One Citizen–One Journal policy implementation process. The themes were constructed deductively from a review of governance models and public governance theory and were applied as our analytical lens to each document. The findings were interpreted, analyzed, and synthesized.

RESULTS

The national policy implementation process progressed through 3 phases, with changes in stakeholder inclusion and perceived influence on the decision-making process characterizing transitions from phase to phase. Tension developed between 2 contrasting views regarding top-down government authority and stakeholders’ autonomy. The view of the regional health trusts, municipalities, health care professional organizations, and industry actors contrasted with that of the patient organizations. Governmental insensitivity to participation, lack of transparency, and decreasing trust by stakeholder groups challenged the legitimacy of the inclusive governance model.

CONCLUSIONS

We illustrated that Norway’s One Citizen–One Journal policy trajectory was characterized by a process that unfolded across 3 distinct phases. The process was characterized by 2 contrasting stakeholder perspectives. Finally, it was shaped by diminishing trust in the inclusive governance model. The National eHealth Governance Board faced challenges in establishing legitimacy as a top-down inclusive governance model, primarily attributed to its addressing of participation, transparency, and trust dilemmas. Such dilemmas represent significant obstacles to inclusive governance models and require ongoing governmental vigilance and responsiveness from governmental entities.

A cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted from March 2022 to April 2023 to determine seropositivity for chlamydiosis and leptospirosis, as well as to identify risk factors associated with their transmission in goat herds in the municipality of Juventino Rosas, Guanajuato. A total of 741 samples were collected from 32 herds. For serological diagnosis, the microscopic agglutination test was employed for Leptospira, and an indirect ELISA was used for Chlamydia abortus. Logistic regression analysis was applied to identify risk factors. The study found that 14.1 % and 52.5 % of samples were seropositive for chlamydiosis and leptospirosis, respectively. The primary serovar detected for leptospirosis was the national strain H-89 (Hardjo) at 40.8 %. A significant causal association for leptospirosis was observed (P < 0.0211) in herds with a history of abortions (OR = 8.88), in goats older than 6 years (OR = 6.91), with the loaning of bucks (OR = 5.6), in the buying and selling of animals (OR = 3.54), in herds with more than 60 animals (OR = 3.44), in the presence of rodents (OR = 2.86), and with humidity (OR = 1.79). For chlamydiosis, a significant causal association (P < 0.0456) was observed when pregnant females were not separated (OR = 4.28), when grazing areas were shared (OR = 3.4), and in herds with more than 60 animals (OR = 2.1). Given these findings, it is essential to enhance technical assistance to implement biosafety measures aimed at reducing the occurrence of these diseases.

Esse momento de diálogo e prática resultou na construção de um espaço de aprofundamento, imersão e de execução. Em suas apresentações das respostas às questões, os pesquisadores ressaltaram o poder de reflexão, de tomada de consciência, de retroalimentação de seu fazer e agir, seja na docência de cada um ou em sua área de atuação, seja na sua trajetória como pesquisador em formação, evidenciando o sucesso dessa empreitada ousada proposta na disciplina.
O QUE É UMA BOA ESCOLA?
Authors: Van de Beuque Flora Moana 
Published: December 2024

Como adultos e crianças qualificam uma “boa escola”? Considerando que, mesmo num contexto de assimetria intergeracional, as crianças se colocam de forma ativa nas relações, este artigo procura responder a essa questão, com trabalho de campo numa instituição pública no Rio de Janeiro. Voltada a alunos de 4 a 10 anos, das camadas populares e médias, com negros e brancos, e marcada pela heterogeneidade, aquela é considerada uma “escola de referência”. De forma geral, os adultos enfatizaram o processo de ensino-aprendizagem como central no processo escolar, com algumas controvérsias – como sobre a dimensão política da educação. As crianças, mesmo valorizando os estudos, enfatizaram a brincadeira, a corporalidade ativa, as relações, revelando opressões étnico-raciais. No contexto da pesquisa, foi possível ver adultos e crianças produzindo diálogos, conflitos e negociações, compartilhando significados, mas também apresentando dissonâncias.

Published: December 2024

In the fast-paced world of the 21st century economic landscapes evolve rapidly and financial literacy has become vital for leaders across all sectors. It equips them to navigate complex financial environments, make informed decisions and adapt to economic shifts. In Malaysia, the government has formed the Community Leaders under the rural development program for village development. As a result of that, the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development has allocated resources to assist community programs. Therefore, these community leaders should be equipped with financial literacy to ensure that the financial resources are managed efficiently and effectively. Financial literacy is one of the most important requisites to financial well-being. It is also described as the measurement of how well an individual can understand and use information related to finance to make decisions. The objective of this study is to examine the needs of the Financial Literacy Model for community leaders. Further, it will also determine the components to be included in developing the Financial Literacy Model to enhance the public financial management system among community leaders. A mixed method research design, which combined qualitative (focused group interviews on selected community leaders) and quantitative (questionnaires) data will be employed in this research. Data analysis in qualitative research focuses on the process of systematically searching and arranging the interview transcripts. Interview sessions are crucial for gaining a thorough understanding of financial knowledge and skills among leaders. The research is anticipated to assist policymakers, community leaders and the government in improving sustainable community development.
A Framework for Applying Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing Methods to Accounting Recognition
Authors: Chen Yasheng , Huang Xian , Cao Jing 
Published: December 2024

SYNOPSIS
Accounting recognition involves determining how certain transactions or events should be included in accounting records, which serve as the foundation for financial statements. However, the recognition process can be complex and error prone. In this study, we propose a framework that combines machine learning and natural language processing methods to develop a model capable of understanding the nature of a transaction and automating intelligent recognition. We demonstrate the feasibility of our framework by constructing preferred stock recognition models. Using 102 prospectuses of preferred stocks issued in China from 2004 to 2022, the models demonstrate their ability to identify preferred shares as either financial liabilities or equity instruments based on an understanding of transaction nature. We contribute to the accounting literature and practice by revealing the effectiveness of artificial intelligence in facilitating intelligent accounting recognition.

Division Managers’ Private Information and Capital Investment Efficiency: Exploiting External Social Connections as an Information Source
Authors: Luo Shuqing , Wang Xin , Wu Qiong , Zhang Guochang 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
We examine the relation between division-level information and capital investment in conglomerates, exploiting the external social connections of division managers (DMs) as an information source. We find that investment efficiency, proxied by investment sensitivity to relative divisional investment opportunities, is higher for divisions whose DMs are socially connected with the CEOs of industry peers than divisions without such connections. This effect is stronger when headquarters are more likely to delegate decisions (proxied by larger information distances between headquarters and the divisions and by greater division operational uncertainties), when the DMs’ information source is more useful (proxied by the closeness of DMs’ external social connections and the information quality from the connected external CEOs), and when the DM has greater influence in the conglomerate. Further, connected divisions exhibit higher profitability in the subsequent years than unconnected divisions. Our study sheds light on how division-level information influences internal capital allocation and performance.

Disclosing Endogenous Cost Information
Authors: Jiang Xu , Xiong Yan 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
We study voluntary cost disclosure by duopoly firms when they can invest in a cost-reduction technology, i.e., when their private cost is endogenously determined. We find that, contrary to most of the literature, firms disclose their endogenous cost information regardless of the type of competition. The underlying mechanisms and welfare implications, however, are different. Under Bertrand competition, cost disclosure helps a firm avoid aggressive investment in cost reduction to coordinate actions to the mutual advantage of the duopoly firms. Under Cournot competition, disclosing cost information enables a firm to show a hardened stance toward the competing firm. Although firms gain from their disclosure decisions under Bertrand competition, their disclosure decisions under Cournot competition place them in a prisoner’s dilemma, as both firms would be better off if they chose not to disclose their information. Consequently, consumers may lose under Bertrand competition but gain under Cournot competition.

Authors: Tabata Eimi , Shimizu Yoshitaka , Oue Kana , Saeki Noboru , Ohshimo Shinichiro , Mukai Akari , Ishikawa Hitomi , Kamio Hisanobu , Yoshida Mitsuhiro , Shime Nobuaki 
Published: December 2024

Objective
Previous studies have reported that the noise generated by dental equipment can interfere with the auscultation of respiratory sounds during sedation. Therefore, this study aimed to identify whether positing the acoustic sensor on the chest or cervical position would be least susceptible to interference from dental suction device noise, a prominent noise noted during respiratory sound monitoring during dental sedation.

Methods
This prospective cohort study was conducted with 30 students. Sound intensity (dB) and frequency (kHz) levels from the dental suction were recorded from the cervical and chest regions under both oral and nasal breathing conditions and analyzed.

Results
The mean intensity of dental suction sounds was significantly lower in the chest region compared with the cervical region, regardless of the breathing condition (P < .001). Furthermore, in the chest region, the mean sound frequency during oral breathing was significantly lower than that during nasal breathing (P < .01).

Conclusions
Our study suggests that monitoring respiratory sounds in the chest region can significantly reduce interference from noise generated by dental suction devices compared with monitoring at the cervical region.
