Вірогідним виявися зв'язок між досліджуваним фактором та плідністю самок, де відповідний коефіцієнт становив 0,91(Р>0,95).
Enhancing Predicted Visual Acuity After SmartSight Lenticule Extraction: Identifying Key Factors With Machine Learning
Authors: Darzi Soodabeh , Pradhan Kishore Raj , Arba-Mosquera Samuel 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
To develop a predictive model aimed at assessing the likelihood of improvement in corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) for patients undergoing lenticule extraction using the SmartSight system from SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions. This model evaluates the effectiveness and weight of various clinical and procedural parameters in predicting enhancements in visual acuity.

Methods
Data from 1,262 eyes treated with the SmartSight system, encompassing 86 features, were analyzed. Regression and classification techniques were employed to estimate the probability of CDVA gain, ensuring robust results by comparing different methods. The dataset was divided into training (70%, 883 treatments) and testing (30%, 379 treatments) subsets to ensure comprehensive model evaluation using machine learning methods. Feature significance was determined via analysis of variance and principal components analysis to identify impactful parameters.

Results
Three principal components accounting for more than 70% of the data variance were identified. The first component was primarily linked to system settings, whereas the second and third components were associated with patient gender and laterality. Factors significantly influencing CDVA improvement included a higher spot-to-track distance ratio, tighter track distance, lower pulse energy, lower average laser power, larger spot distance, greater cap thickness, and lower dosage. These variables were ranked based on their impact on CDVA enhancement.

Conclusions
Using low-energy asymmetric spacing for lenticule extraction with the SmartSight system is safe and effective. This approach improves visual outcomes for patients undergoing treatment for myopic astigmatism, offering a reliable method for predicting CDVA improvements.

Study of the InnovEyes Sightmap Platform in Comparing Ray-Tracing–Guided LASIK and Topography-Guided LASIK
Authors: Cao Xinfang , Zhang Jun , Shao Jie , Zhang Yonggang , Zheng Li 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
To evaluate the performance of the InnovEyes Sightmap platform (Alcon Laboratories, Inc) in refractive surgery by comparing the visual acuity and higher order aberrations (HOAs) between ray-tracing–guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and topography-guided LASIK.

Methods
This prospective study enrolled participants who underwent either ray-tracing–guided LASIK or topography-guided LASIK. Comprehensive ophthalmic evaluations were performed preoperatively, as well as at 1 day, 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively. Patients in the ray-tracing–guided LASIK group underwent wavefront, tomography, and biometry assessment using the InnovEyes Sightmap diagnostic device. Assessments included visual acuity, manifest refraction, and whole-eye HOAs.

Results

A total of 42 eyes treated with ray-tracing–guided LASIK and 42 eyes treated with topography-guided LASIK were analyzed. Both strategies demonstrated comparable good refraction accuracy and refractive stability (
P
> .05). The ray-tracing–guided LASIK group exhibited significantly better postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) compared to the topography-guided LASIK group (−0.12 ± 0.05 vs −0.07 ± 0.04 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution, respectively;
P
< .05), with 48% of eyes achieving a UDVA of 20/12.5 or better. Ray-tracing–guided LASIK induced a small but statistically significant increase in HOAs and vertical coma aberration, along with a significant reduction in spherical aberration (
P
< .05). In contrast, topography-guided LASIK resulted in a significant increase in vertical coma (
P
< .05) without significant changes in overall HOAs or spherical aberration (
P
> .05). At 3 months postoperatively, spherical aberration was significantly different between the two groups (−0.021 ± 0.031 vs 0.054 ± 0.122 µm, respectively;
P
< .05).

Conclusions
The InnovEyes Sightmap platform's ray-tracing–guided LASIK demonstrated potential advantages in visual acuity outcomes compared to topography-guided LASIK. The observed negative shift in spherical aberration, characterized by a lower absolute value, may have contributed to the enhanced visual acuity results.

L’enjeu du travail, une condition de la redynamisation syndicale ?
Authors: Alfandari François 
Published: December 2024

Cet article interroge les logiques et les conditions du renouvellement d’un collectif syndical dans un hôpital psychiatrique public. Alors que les cadres syndicaux sont dans leur majorité vieillissants, ils doivent s’assurer de la continuité militante. Ce défi est d’autant plus difficile que les nouveaux syndiqués sont moins enclins à s’approprier les pratiques agonistiques et politisées valorisées localement, préférant fonder leur engagement sur les enjeux immédiats du travail dans un contexte de rationalisation des effectifs et des moyens. Finalement, l’article montre comment les effets des restructurations hospitalières se conjuguent à des socialisations politiques et militantes différenciées pour conduire à des décalages au sein du collectif quant aux finalités de l’engagement syndical. Face à ces difficultés, les dirigeants du syndicat envisagent la mise en débat des évolutions du travail et la défense d’une psychiatrie « humaine » comme moyens d’attirer les personnels et de dynamiser l’action syndicale.
Transformational leadership: A poor fit for proactive employees in a quick-commerce context
Authors: Adnans Abdhy A. , Panjaitan Katherina , Hadiyani Sherry 
Published: December 2024

Orientation: As quick-commerce emerges as an evolving extension within the broader e-commerce landscape, it requires a deeper understanding of how to effectively manage employees to sustain continuous innovation. Implementing appropriate leadership practices has been shown to promote the development of employees from varied backgrounds and personalities, thereby enhancing innovation and driving organisational success.Research purpose: This study explored how transformational leadership influences the relationship between employees with proactive personality and the frequencies of innovative work behaviour (IWB) within a quick-commerce organisation, offering insights for organisations to enhance team performance.Motivation for the study: Quick-commerce organisations present novel work processes and environments. This research examines how to effectively translate and implement appropriate leadership approaches that sustain IWB in these dynamic settings.Research approach/design and method: Online questionnaires were utilised for data collection involving 200 employees working at a quick-commerce organisation. This quantitative research approach utilised SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Modelling Partial Least Squares) to conduct moderation analysis on processed data.Main findings: The analysis indicated that proactive personality had a significant positive effect on IWB, whereas transformational leadership was found to negatively moderate the relationship between proactive personality and IWB.Practical/managerial implications: The transformational leadership approach is not well-suited for encouraging employees with proactive personalities to engage in innovative behaviour within a quick-commerce environment.Contribution/value-add: The study shows that transformational leadership is not necessarily the best leadership approach for stimulating IWB in a quick-commerce context, potentially opening the door for further exploration and discussion on this topic.

Published: December 2024

Background: Delayed or incorrect treatment of meningitis may result in adverse patient outcomes. However, laboratory testing in resource-limited settings is often limited to conventional diagnostic methods. We explored the utility of syndromic molecular assays for diagnosis.Objectives: We tested cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens collected from patients with clinically suspected meningitis submitted to a tertiary hospital laboratory in January 2021 – May 2021. Primary microbiological analysis (culture, Gram stain and cytochemical analysis) was performed as part of routine testing.Method: Residual CSF specimens were tested using a bacterial triplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay and a syndromic multi-pathogen real-time PCR assay for the detection of up to 18 bacterial and viral pathogens. Pathogen detection was compared between conventional and molecular assays.Results: A potential pathogen was detected in 6% (12/188) and 47% (89/188) of specimens on the triplex and the multi-pathogen assay, respectively. Epstein-Barr virus (49/188; 26%), human herpes virus 7 (22/188; 12%), herpes simplex virus 1 (13/188; 7%) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (10/188; 5%) were the leading pathogens detected on the syndromic multi-pathogen PCR. Further, using the multi-pathogen PCR assay, a potential pathogen was detected in 44% (73/166) of the specimens which were negative following routine testing. Overall, combining routine testing and molecular platforms significantly improved pathogen detection (p 0.001); a potential pathogen was identified in 51% (95/188) of the specimens tested, compared to 12% (22/188) using routine methods alone.Conclusion: The use of molecular tests improved pathogen detection by 39% when paired with routine methods.Contribution: Multi-pathogen molecular testing is useful for rapidly diagnosing meningitis cases.

Published: December 2024

Objective:
To assess the protective effects of 70% ethanolic extract of Moringa (M.) oleifera leaves on fertility and epididymal dysfunctions in diabetic rats.

Methods:
Thirty-six male Wistar rats were divided into six groups, each with six rats. Group I was the normal control group receiving vehicle (0.5 mL of distilled water/rat/day) orally; group II, III, IV, V and VI were injected intraperitoneally with 60 mg/kg of streptozotocin once to induce type I diabetes. Then, the diabetic rats in group II receiving vehicle (0.5 mL of distilled water /rat/day) orally; the diabetic rats in groups III, IV and V were orally treated with M. oleifera leaf extract at dose of 100, 250, and 500 mg/kg body weight (b.wt.)/day, respectively; the diabetic rats in group VI were administrated with reference drug glibenclamide (5 mg/kg b.wt./day). The treatment lasted for 60 days. Sperm parameters (sperm count, motility and viability), fertility index, litter size, lipid peroxidation and antioxidative defense markers (i.e. superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione, and ascorbic acid) in the epididymal tissue were determined. Histopathological changes in epididymis were also evaluated.

Results:
Administration of different doses of M. oleifera leaf extract in diabetic rats induced a remarkable dose dependent improvement in sperm parameters, fertility index, litter size, epididymal antioxidant status and also restored histopathological changes as compared to the diabetic control group. These findings were comparable with reference drug.

Conclusions:

M. oleifera leaf extract possesses significant antioxidant activities as well as beneficial effects on epididymal dysfunctions in diabetic male rats.

Green Wheels, Green Wallets: Exploring Electric Vehicles Adoption and Tax Compliance for Sustainable Urban Development In Indonesia
Authors: Widajantie Tituk Diah , Putri Sofie Yunida , Wilasittha Acynthia Ayu 
Published: December 2024

Objective: This study aims to shed light on the disciplinary penalties as a result of the default violation committed by a public employee while carrying out his job duties and know how the management authority, when supervising administrative work, assesses the severity of the electronic violation for sustainable development goals.

Theoretical Framework: There are several designations to indicate the act committed by the public employee while carrying out his work electronically that makes him subject to punishment, such as the term disciplinary error, disciplinary crime, disciplinary guilt, etc.
Method: The use of the descriptive approach and the analytical and comparative approach in this study.

Results and Discussion: This study found principles governing violations and electronic disciplinary sanctions are the same as those found in their traditional counterparts, including the legality of disciplinary sanctions, the principle of proportionality between them, and others. Also, the assessment of the electronic administrative violation is carried out through the discretionary power of the disciplinary administrative authority, similar to that of traditional violations.

Research Implications: The presence of the term “electronic administration" would cause the public employee to practice his work electronically, and this may result in the occurrence of a specific act of that employee that may affect his job duties.

Originality/Value: The commission of a public employee for an electronic violation leads to imposing a penalty on him to deter him and prevent him from returning to committing it. That punishment affects his job position and may lead to the imposition of the maximum penalty, which is dismissal if the violation is of a high degree of seriousness or gravity.
