“Appearances can be deceptive” symptomatic Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome in Ebstein’s anomaly
Authors: Suresh A. , Behera Archana 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
Ablation in Ebstein’s anomaly with Wolff–Parkinson–White (WPW) syndrome is very challenging due to complex anatomy and multiple arrhythmias associated with it. We expect atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia which is the most common arrhythmia associated with WPW. As appearances can be deceptive, although in our case report, this 22-year-old female had preexcitation, she had typical atrial flutter, preexcited atrial fibrillation in addition to atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia. She needed cavo-tricuspid isthmus ablation in addition to accessory pathway ablation to render the aforementioned arrhythmias noninducible. This case affirms the fact that a detailed and meticulous electrophysiologic study is to be done to diagnose all arrhythmias associated with this congenital heart disease.

Abstract

Context:
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in children is characterized by partial or complete upper airway obstruction during sleep, leading to disrupted breathing and altered sleep patterns. Prompt diagnosis and intervention are crucial for preventing severe health complications.

Aim:
The aim of the study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to pediatric OSA among residents of the Al-Baha region, Saudi Arabia, and explore associations with sociodemographic factors to improve the health outcomes and quality of life of the affected children.

Settings and Design:
The study design was an observational cross-sectional study.

Subjects and Methods:
From the general public in the Al-Baha region, 413 participants were recruited through an online self-administered questionnaire. Data were collected between May 4 and June 5, 2024.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Descriptive statistics, frequency distributions, and Chi-square test.

Results:
The majority of participants were predominantly female (66.3%) and aged 18–30 years (61%). Most participants were single and held a bachelor’s degree. An adequate level of knowledge about OSA was demonstrated by 64% of the participants, 78% exhibited a positive attitude, and 62% showed an adequate practice level. Young adults and females had the highest levels of knowledge and positive attitudes, with females also displaying better practice habits than males. Participants with 1–3 children demonstrated better practice levels than those with more children.

Conclusion:
Adequate awareness of pediatric OSA was demonstrated in the Al-Baha region, particularly among young adults and females. Positive attitudes and effective practices are influenced by education and profession. While current awareness efforts are effective, targeted interventions can further improve knowledge and practice.

Bureaucratic Reform Acceleration of The Ministry of Religious Affairs Through Organizational Cultural Development
Authors: Haji Rusno , Purwanti Rini 
Published: November 2024

The evaluation of bureaucratic reform in the Ministry of Religious Affairs shows that its implementation has not yet shown significant progress, its application has not been evenly distributed throughout all work units and still needs to be improved. One of the reasons for the slow pace of bureaucratic reform in the Ministry of Religious Affairs is a lack of supportive organizational culture. This study aims to measure the Ministry of Religious Affairs' organizational culture development using the mixed method with a sequential explanation. Quantitative data analysis uses descriptive statistics and multivariate Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) statistics, while qualitative data analysis uses root cause analysis with the fishbone analysis method. The results showed that the level of internalization of organizational values and work culture in the Ministry of Religious Affairs has become espoused values and beliefs but has not yet become an underlying assumption. The implementation of bureaucratic reform in the Central is still not a massive and systemic movement. This is because the Basic Values of the Ministry of Religious Affairs as the basis for ASN behavior and code of ethics have not been well socialized. In addition, the formulation of Basic Values as a reference in bureaucratic reform is still overlapping and difficult to understand. Thus, a Grand Design of the cultural development program is needed to accelerate Bureaucratic Reform in the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

Published: November 2024

This research aims to investigate the role of teachers in educational leadership. The method employed is qualitative, specifically descriptive, utilizing data sources from the Islamic Schools Headmasters and teachers. Data collection techniques include observation and interviews. Data analysis involves data reduction, data presentation, and sequential conclusion drawing and verification. The findings reveal that: 1) Teachers' understanding of educational leadership influences their roles and interactions at MI Manggarupi. Teachers with a strong understanding tend to be more effective in enhancing learning quality, motivating students, fostering positive relationships, and collaborating with the school. 2) A harmonious relationship between teachers and the Islamic school Headmaster plays a crucial role in the teachers' position within educational leadership. The teachers' leadership position is reinforced through active involvement in decision-making and professional development programs. 3) Teacher involvement in decision-making at Islamic schools reflects their position within educational leadership. The implications of this research are: 1) It is imperative to enhance teachers' understanding of educational leadership. 2) There should be a strengthening of the relationship between teachers and the Islamic school's Headmaster to achieve effective cooperation, thereby ensuring each teacher holds a leadership position. 3) Teachers should be involved in decision-making within the Islamic schools' programs, which can improve trust and motivation among teachers and strengthen their position within educational leadership
The Role of Environmental Costs on the Relationship Between Good Corporate Governance and Firm Value During Covid-19 Conditions
Authors: Christiawan Yulius Jogi , Budiman Jennifer , Alfonso Natasya Angie , Kwistianus Hendri 
Published: November 2024

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of corporate governance on the valuation during covid 19 conditions and role of environmental expenditures on the relationship. This study employed purposive sampling to select publicly traded companies from the LQ45 index list spanning the years 2018 to 2022. The data was examined by panel data modelling with the Weighted Least Square technique. The evaluation of good corporate governance is conducted through the utilisation of a score derived from the corporate governance perception index, whereas the assessment of business value is accomplished by employing the Tobin's Q ratio. The moderating variable of environmental costs is assessed by considering the costs associated with Corporate Social Responsibility programs. The results indicated that good corporate governance exerts a negative influence on the value of firms during covid-19 conditions. The present study did not achieve success in establishing the moderating effect of environmental costs on the association between good corporate governance and firm value. The present study provides several implications for corporate governance practitioners in managing companies during crisis and also investors in formulating future investment decisions.

Impact of drought hazards on flow regimes in anthropogenically impacted streams: an isotopic perspective on climate stress
Authors: Warter Maria Magdalena , Tetzlaff Dörthe , Marx Christian , Soulsby Chris 
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Flow regimes are increasingly impacted by more extreme natural hazards of droughts and floods as a result of climate change, compounded by anthropogenic influences in both urban and intensively managed rural catchments. However, the characteristics of sustainable flow regimes that are needed to maintain or restore hydrologic, biogeochemical and ecological functions under rapid global change remain unclear and contested. We conducted an intercomparison of two streams in the Berlin–Brandenburg region of northeast Germany, which are both mesoscale subcatchments of the Spree river: an intermittent rural agricultural stream (the Demnitzer Millcreek) and a heavily anthropogenically impacted urban stream (the Panke). Through tracer-based analyses using stable water isotopes, we identified the dominant physical processes (runoff sources, flowpaths and age characteristics) sustaining streamflow over multiple years (2018–2023), including three major drought years (2018–2020, 2021–2022). In the urban stream, low flows are regulated through artificially increased baseflow from treated wastewater effluents (by up to 80 %), whilst storm drainage drives rapid, transient high-flow and runoff responses (up to 80 %) to intense convective summer rainfall. The intermittent groundwater-dominated rural stream experienced extended no-flow periods during drought years (∼ 60 % of the year) and only moderate storm runoff coefficients (< 10 %) in winter along near-surface flow paths after heavy rainfall. In both streams, groundwater dominance with young water influence prevails, with low water ages in the urban stream (< 10 %) despite significant urban runoff and higher ones in the rural stream (∼ 15 %). Urban cover resulted in a mean transit time of ∼ 4 years compared to arable land at ∼ 3 years, highlighting the interlinkages of land use and catchment properties on catchment transit times. Understanding seasonal and interannual variability in streamflow generation through a tracer-based hydrological template has the potential to assess the impacts of natural hazards on the sustainability of future baseflow management, including wider water quality and ecological implications across anthropogenically impacted environments.
Massive mobilization of toxic elements from an intact rock glacier in the central Eastern Alps
Authors: Moradi Hoda , Furrer Gerhard , Margreth Michael , Mair David , Wanner Christoph 
Published: November 2024

Abstract. In the central Eastern Alps, an increasing number of high-altitude streams draining ice-rich permafrost display high concentrations of toxic solutes, such as Al, F−, Mn, and Ni, that may strongly exceed drinking water limits. To obtain novel insights into the causes for the mobilization of toxic solutes and to assess the environmental hazard, here we present a 2-year dataset (2021, 2022) of monitoring a high alpine stream originating from an intact rock glacier located in eastern Switzerland. The monitoring includes monthly sampling and discharge measurements, as well as continuous tracking of the geogenic fluxes of toxic solutes, using a pressure and conductivity probe. Our monitoring revealed high annual fluxes of up to 10 t a−1 with strong seasonal variations. In particular, the fluxes were highest during the warm summer months and showed strong correlations with hydraulic events such as snowmelt and heavy rainfall. These correlations likely occurred because the mobilization of toxic solutes reflects the last step of a complicated sequence of coupled processes, including (i) the oxidation of sulfides producing sulfuric acid and promoting the dissolution of solutes from the host rock, (ii) temporal storage and long-term enrichment of the dissolved solutes in rock glacier ice, and (iii) their final hydraulic mobilization during climate-change-induced accelerated degradation of rock glaciers. In the studied catchment, the concentrations of toxic solutes strongly exceeded the drinking water limits down to an altitude of 1900 m a.s.l. This depicts a significant hazard for the farmers and their products using the catchment in summer, while the hazard for larger streams in populated areas further downstream is considered limited. Since the fluxes of toxic solutes downstream of rock glaciers likely reflect their final hydraulic mobilization from the solute-enriched rock glacier ice, we hypothesize that flux measurements may serve as a novel environmental tracer to study permafrost degradation.
1/20,000th of a Person?
Authors: Cantalupo Nancy Chi 
Published: November 2024

Notice-and-comment rulemaking is a key function of the U.S. administrative state, thought to give members of the public access to the process of government decisionmaking. However, notice-and-comment rulemaking fails to accomplish that goal, and its deficiencies have critical implications for U.S. democracy and for the role of women and other traditionally underrepresented groups in that democracy.
This Article examines the many ways in which notice-and-comment rulemaking has fallen short of its central purpose through a case study of a 2018–19 rulemaking dealing with enforcement of Title IX’s prohibition on sexual harassment. Members of the public, mobilized by activists, filed a historic 124,000+ comments in that rulemaking. This author created and led a “crowd-research” innovation to catalog ninety-four percent of those comments.
Analysis of that rulemaking and its comments exposes rulemaking’s oligarchic tendency to value technocratic practices above democratic ones, a tendency that is particularly problematic in the case of rulemakings that implicate civil rights and discrimination. This Article proposes a path for agencies to avoid notice-and-comment rulemaking’s failings by supplementing traditional processes with a modified form of negotiated rulemaking.
Exploring the Difficulties in English Language Teaching for Attaining Desired Learning Outcomes at Primary Level: A Quantitative Study
Authors: Sajid Shazia , Abbas Nargis , Gillani Tahira 
Published: November 2024

The present study examined the Analysis of the difficulties in English language teaching for attaining desired learning outcomes at primary level. Total number of primary school English teachers of Punjab public schools was the population of the study. Out of these, two districts of the Punjab were selected through purposive sampling technique. At next, total 100 teachers were selected from public schools through purposive sampling. The data was collected from approximately fifty English teachers from Sargodha district and fifty English teachers from Khushab district through purposive sampling techniques. Questionnaire as instrument was prepared. First part of questionnaire contained demographic information while second part of questionnaire contained 30 statements about motivation, competency and attitude towards English language teacher’s problems. For quantitative analysis, the sample of the study was 100 teachers, 50 from Sargodha and 50 teachers from Khushab. The student sample t-test was employed to explain the data distribution and mean comparison between different variables. Descriptive analysis was conducted with the help of cross tabulation option of SPSS. The English teachers at the primary level frequently dealt with issues such as poor collaboration, little personal time, working toward long-term goals and objectives, debates and student justifications. By addressing these frequent issues in the classroom. Finding showed that female teachers exhibited higher score on difficulties faced by them in attaining desired learning outcomes (M= 1.48, SD=19.57) compared to the males who exhibited low score on difficulties faced by the teachers in attaining desired learning outcomes (M= 1.41, SD=18.50). The most important strategy was to use information technology and also should use Educational Competitions in the Classrooms, different type of activities which can boast the knowledge and confidence of students. Teachers needed to be skilled at rousing children in the classroom. Developing their consciousness, motivations and interests through learning are good. The government also played an important role in this sense such as they allocate fund for children to manage the building of school and also boast up students.
