Влияние волонтеров на социальное чувство у детей с онкологией: опыт одного наблюдения
Authors: Василенко Инна , Ткаченко Ольга 
Published: October 2024

Статья посвящена роли волонтеров в поддержании социального чувства у онкобольных детей. На основе концепции «социального чувства», разработанной австрийским врачом и психологом Альфредом Адлером, исследуются механизмы, с помощью которых волонтеры способствуют интеграции детей в социальное пространство, несмотря на ограничения, накладываемые медицинскими учреждениями. Ранее этому аспекту уделялось недостаточно внимания. В статье рассматривается, как организация мероприятий с участием волонтеров, детей, родителей и медицинского персонала позволяет создать временную социальную среду, которая способствует эмоциональной поддержке и улучшению качества жизни детей. Мероприятия, включающие игры, спектакли и совместные активности, помогают детям ощутить свою значимость, включенность в коллектив и осознать свои социальные роли. Волонтеры играют ключевую роль в этом процессе, создавая атмосферу радости и поддержки, что приводит к положительным эмоциональным изменениям у детей. Исследование опирается на данные включенного наблюдения и интервью с волонтерами и родителями больных детей. Результаты показывают, что такие мероприятия способствуют снижению уровня стресса и тревоги, как у детей, так и у их родителей. Родители отмечают не только внешние проявления радости и оживления у своих детей, но и внутренние изменения, такие как увеличение открытости для общения и положительное восприятие жизни. Медицинский персонал также подчеркивает положительный эффект от таких мероприятий. Врачи и медсестры отмечают улучшение настроения у детей, что облегчает процесс лечения и реабилитации. Кроме того, мероприятия позволяют самому персоналу сместить фокус внимания и получить эмоциональную разгрузку, что помогает справляться с профессиональным выгоранием. В исследовании подчеркивается значимость волонтерской деятельности в паллиативной помощи детям с онкологическими заболеваниями. Волонтеры не только помогают создавать атмосферу радости и взаимодействия, но и способствуют поддержанию социального чувства, что является важным элементом в улучшении качества жизни и психологического благополучия маленьких пациентов.

Background: Modalities of fixation in intertrochanteric fractures have been a topic of debate since times immemorial. Our special aims at comparing the functional outcome of Intraheal™ proximal hip stabilizing nail (PHSN, GPC Medical Limited) fixation in 200 patients of intertrochanteric fractures.
Methods: 200 patients of intertrochanteric fracture fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in our study. Preoperative AP and Lateral views of hip joint were taken for all patients. In post-operative period, the patients were reviewed at 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months by the operating surgeon. Functional assessment, radiological assessment of bony union and complications were evaluated in follow up period.
Results: 200 patients underwent Intraheal™ proximal hip stabilizing nail fixation. They were followed-up the patients at 2 weeks, 1, 3, 6 and at 12 months postoperatively AP and lateral pelvic X-rays were obtained at each follow-up, and implant position changes, all complications, and fixation failures were recorded. We included a total of 200 patients meeting the criteria in this study and follow up was done till 12 months postoperatively. Intra-operative complications, time of hospital stay, Varus fixation and fracture displacement were assessed.
Conclusion: Advantages noted with PHSN fixation were excellent Harris hip score, lesser screw cutout, early union rate. However, PHSN had greater incidence of anterior thigh pain at all intervals of follow-up. There were no significant local wound complications or duration of hospital stay.

This research tries to identify the influence of Instagram posts on the decision-making behaviour of tourists. Social media plays a pivotal role in today’s travel and tourism environment. It also determines how people perceive and choose a destination. Social media acts as a platform for people to discuss and share about travel adventures, providing detailed information that can widely influence the decision-making process among visitors. Response to social media sharing and information credibility are the independent variables. Prior knowledge and tourist decision-making are the dependent variables. The research also studies the moderating role of the authenticity of social media posts in shaping tourists' responses and choices. An online survey was conducted to collect primary data from 511 Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) respondents. The sampling design adopted was stratified random sampling. Analysis of moment structures (AMOS) was used to analyse the quantitative data collected. A structural equation modelling approach was used to analyse the data. The study reveals that Instagram and other platforms transform intangible aspects of destinations into tangible experiences, enriching tourists' knowledge. Influencers and user-generated content play a crucial role in decision-making. The authenticity of the post plays a crucial role in shaping the tourist’s decision-making process.

Published: October 2024

Employer branding is a complex idea that is important in many different industries. It represents a company's ability to attract, engage and retain talent as well as its status as an employer. A strong employer brand transcends industry boundaries to impact the success and sustainability of businesses in today's competitive job market. The authors examined the effect of employer branding on employee performance by mediating and moderating roles of a supportive work environment and compensation and benefits respectively. The authors followed the quantitative methodology with a set of strategies and hypotheses and gathered numerical data. The data were gathered by surveying employees working in information technology sector companies in the city of Bangalore. The data analysis includes descriptive statistics, factor analysis and structural equation modeling analysis using SPSS and IBM AMOS version 28. The Cronbach’s alpha values of the reliability statistics ranged from 0.920 to 0.930 indicating the questionnaire’s internal consistency and reliability. The model fit indices CMIN/DF 1.389, CFI 0.966, GFI 0.952, TLI 0.961, IFI 0.966, NFI 0.904, SRMR 0.060, RMSEA 0.051 and PClose 0.448 indicate an excellent fit of the model. The constructs of compensation and benefits and a supportive work environment partially mediate employee performance through employer branding. The moderator’s supportive work environment strengthens the positive relationship between employee branding and employee performance. Strong employer branding is important for attracting top talent and improving employee performance in various industries but it is especially important in the IT sector.
Context and practices of health advocacy role by nurses in Ghana: A qualitative study
Authors: Laari Luke 
Published: October 2024

Background & Aim: Nurses play a crucial role in health advocacy, which is both morally obligatory and has significant consequences for the clinician. However, there is a paucity of empirical evidence regarding its context and practices. The location, method, and rationale behind nurses fulfilling their health advocacy duties are crucial in hospital settings. This study explored and described where and under what circumstances nurses fulfill their health advocacy responsibilities in Ghana.
Methods & Materials: The study employed an inductive qualitative exploratory descriptive design to gather and analyze data from 24 nurses and midwives. Using a semi-structured interview guide, participants were selected from three regional hospitals in the upper, middle, and southern zones of Ghana, and qualitative content analysis was performed.
Results: Nurses and midwives carried out their health advocacy roles both inside and outside of healthcare institutions, using both proactive and reactive advocacy practices to initiate their role performance. Although reactive advocacy roles were reported more, the nurses and midwives identified unfair client treatment, health professionals' errors or omissions of procedure, and social injustice as the driving forces behind their advocacy.
Conclusion: Although health advocacy is performed by both nurses and midwives in hospitals and outside the hospitals, they are mostly reacting to situations. Teaching biopsychosocial assessment techniques to students during training and providing them with coaching and mentoring during clinical practice may enhance their ability to assess clients for unmet advocacy needs, enabling them to be proactive in their role performance.

Os profissionais de recursos humanos vivenciam e testemunham contextos adoecedores com o peso da responsabilidade sobre a qualidade de vida no trabalho, o que gera sofrimento nos dilemas da sua atuação. Ressalta-se a importância do investimento em práticas de promoção de saúde nos subsistemas de recursos humanos por meio da abordagem da psicodinâmica do trabalho.
Revealing the spatial distribution of decomposition products upon ageing on Li6PS5Cl
solid electrolyte via X-ray diffraction computed tomography
Authors: Villevieille Claire , Thompson Oskar , Vaughan Gavin 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

In order to achieve a high energy density and safety promised by all solid-state batteries
there remain a number of challenges, in particular relating to the stability of the solid electrolyte
during cycling. Thiophosphate solid electrolytes have been intensely studied recently, due to
their good conductivity at room temperature, processability and low-cost. Li6PS5Cl (LPSCl) is
one of the most promising candidates in this category, however many questions remain about
the chemical, electrochemical, structural, and morphological changes experienced during
cycling. In this work, we analysed ex situ half cells of LPSCL cycled against Li-In for more
than 20 cycles by X-ray diffraction computed tomography (XRD-CT), in order to reconstruct
in 3 dimensions, the extent of LPSCL decomposition. We show that decomposition products
are localized not only at the electrochemical interfaces and that competition between chemical
and electrochemical degradation is occurring, leading to the presence of known decomposition
products through the entirety of the electrochemical cell. Using a homemade diffraction peak
algorithm, we determine the presence of several other phases not yet reported in the literature.
is. Our work highlights the need for advanced 3D characterisation techniques to understand the
extent of decomposition phases in LPSCl solid electrolyte and assess properly the ageing of
solid-state batteries.
Characterization of green Synthesis of cucumber extract -Derived Zinc-Copper Oxide Nanocomposite Antibacterial Activity and Effects on MexA Gene Expression on Efflux Pumps in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Authors: ahmed mais emad 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Background: The investigation of heavy metal-containing materials synthesized with plant extracts' antibacterial properties remains ongoing. In this study, zinc oxide and copper nanoparticles (ZnONPs and CuONPs) were produced with cucumber aerial part extract. The antibacterial effect of cucumber nanoparticles, in particular, demonstrated promising potential in combating microbial infections.
Material and methods: Green production of selenium nanoparticles. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XDR), UV visible spectroscopy, and physical characteristics were used to characterize the samples. XRD confirmed the spherical structure, while AFM examination revealed the roughness and distribution of nanoparticles.
Results: the oxide nanoparticles were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis spectrometer, Fourier-transformed infrared spectrometer, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The particle size was less than 33 nm, approximately. The diameter inhibitory zone showed that all of the strains had more sensitivity against nanocomposite. The novel composite showed antimicrobial activity against several human pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus lentus, and Staphylococcus warneri. The effective antibacterial activity and size-dependent characteristics of nano-scale antibacterial substances have attracted considerable attention. This effect is evidenced by the utilization of cucumber extract in the synthesis of nanoparticles, namely ZnONPs, and CuONPs, which exhibited significant antibacterial properties. For molecular procedure, detection of the MexA gene in 10 isolates of MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The effect of nanocomposite on MexA gene expression revealed fold changes in expression (downregulation) in two isolates of MDR P. aeruginosa and upregulation in only one isolate. The biologically synthesized NPs exhibit great antimicrobial activity and can down-regulate the expression of the efflux pump MexA gene. In addition, treating bacteria with the nanocomposite caused a significant reduction of MexA genes, which can improve the efficacy against P. aeruginosa by reducing the expression of MexA efflux pump genes.
Conclusions: This work used cucumber extract as an environmentally friendly and green biosynthesis of selenium nanoparticles (ZnO-CuO NPs) and their antibacterial applications. In conclusion, Nanocomposite were successfully biosynthesized using Cucumber extract, derived from fresh cucumber fruits (Cucumis sativus) through the green method and had promising activity against antibacterial multidrug-resistant bacteria. The expression of the MexA gene was significantly downregulated in the isolates treated with Nanocomposite.
Incidental finding of fractured pseudo-articulated ossified stylohyoid ligaments and implications for dental treatments. A case report
Authors: Bin-Ismail Mohd Isyrafuddin , Mokhtar Ilham Wan , Yusof Mohd Yusmiaidil Putera Mohd 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Introduction: Incidental finding of calcification of stylohyoid ligament (SL) is a very common age dystrophic calcification found in panoramic radiographs, and one of the common diagnostic errors is also a blind spot for the general dental practitioner to diagnose.
Objective: This case report presented unique findings of long finger-like pseudo-articulated ossified SL related to patient clinical findings.
Case Reports: It is started with the patient complaining of radiated throbbing pain at the right cheek, right temporal, right cervical, and right back areas. The imaging revealed bilateral interrupted linear radiopacity extending from the mastoid process and crossing the posteroinferior aspect of the ramus (right side- type II, left side -type I). The anatomy of SL in the periphery of the gatekeeper from the brain to the heart made it crucial to monitor as it can affect vascular, nerves, and muscles.
Implications: Although it is common and asymptomatic, the general dental practitioner must not overlook the fatal complications caused by this dystrophic calcification. The secondary aftermath of the calcified SL might require adjustment in general dental treatment as it progresses and affects the surrounding vital structures.
Conclusions: Dentists must monitor SL calcification's pathophysiology, adjusting treatment plans based on radiographic findings that correlate with clinical symptoms, ensuring accurate diagnosis and management.
The Interactive Role of Emotion and Expected Efficacy and Reward in Improving Cognitive Control in Patients with Depression
Authors: Toobaei Mostafa , Taghavi Mohammadreza , Jobson Laura 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Background: Difficulties in cognitive control over negative emotional stimuli are a key depression characteristic. The Expected Value of Control (EVC) provides a framework for understanding how cognitive control is allocated, focusing on the motivational factors of efficacy and reward. Efficacy is the likelihood that an effort will result in a specific result, while reward is the value assigned to that outcome. However, the impact of emotion on the estimation of EVC has not been explored. We investigated the interplay between emotion and motivation (EVC) in depression.
Methods: We utilized a within-between-subject design. The subjects were healthy controls (n=31) and those with depression (n=36), who underwent a clinical diagnostic interview, completed the General Health Questionnaire-12, the Beck Depression Inventory-II, and participated in an incentivized Emotional Stroop Paradigm where participants received cues indicating different levels of efficacy (low vs. high) and reward (low vs. high) prior to the targeted stimuli.
Results: Significant interactions were detected between a) group × emotional valence × efficacy and b) group × reward regarding accuracy rates on the Emotional Stroop Task. Follow-up analyses revealed that during high-efficacy trials, the Control group demonstrated significantly greater accuracy than the Depressed group for both positive and neutral stimuli. In low-efficacy trials, the Controls were also significantly more accurate than the Depressed group when responding to negative stimuli. Additionally, the Depressed group performed significantly worse compared to the Controls on high-reward trials, no significant difference was detected between the two groups on low-reward trials.
Conclusion: The emotional valence of stimuli can influence the assessment of reward efficacy, and individuals with depression struggle to focus on reward cues. Further research is necessary to incorporate emotion into the EVC framework.
Clinical trial number: not applicable.

Abstract

Background This study aimed to assess the impact of online teaching approaches (TAs), during the COVID-19 era, on the physiotherapy self-efficacy (PSE) of senior FCHS physiotherapy students across three clinical areas: musculoskeletal (MSK), neurological (N), and cardiorespiratory (CR), and to explore the influence of academic factors on PSE scores.Methods Data was collected for this cross-sectional study using a questionnaire. The study focused on three cohorts of pre-graduation senior PT students who experienced a mix of onsite, online, and blended TAs due to COVID-19.Results Of the 17 participating students (68% participation rate, median age 22), the results indicate a statistically significant decrease in self-efficacy from MSK to N, and ultimately to CR clinical areas. The impact of online TAs on PSE varied by courses’ specialty; TAs related to CR specialty courses significantly correlated with PSE scores, showing a preference for onsite TA to enhance self-efficacy over blended and online TAs. Few academic factors influenced students’ PSE.Conclusion The impact of online TAs, implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, on the self-efficacy of senior PT students is dependent on the specialty of the courses.
