Published: September 2024

Objective: This study compared manual muscle testing with the objective measures of the Hand-Held dynamometer for detecting strength deficit across grades 4 and 5 in elbow flexors of young females.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 300 young females in the age group of 18–39 years, having strength in grades 4 and 5, were recruited by non-probability convenient sampling. The strength of elbow flexors of dominant and non-dominant extremities was measured according to standard protocols of manual muscle testing and make test of Hand-held dynamometry. The data were tabulated and analyzed by SPSS version 25. The tests used were independent sample t-tests to compare the mean of strength variation in the normal population. A comparison of both tools to predict the extent of variation in the variable of strength was made through Pearson correlation.
Results: The weakness in elbow flexors was revealed by grade 4 of manual muscle testing in the young healthy female population. Quantified strength by dynamometer presented a varied range of strength, with overlap in strength in grades 4 and 5. There was a significantly weaker correlation in both techniques (0.242 on non-dominant side and 0.317 on the dominant side) in the detection of strength differences at a p-value of 0.00.
Conclusion: This study quantified the strength variation across the subjective realm of grades 4 and 5 through dynamometric measures in the elbow flexors of young females. The comparison of strength across both grades showed a weak correlation for the quantification of strength measured through a dynamometer.

Published: September 2024

Objectives

To determine the etiological profile of suspected cases of bacteremia
To establish the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of bacterial isolates

Materials and Methods:
The retrospective study was carried out from January 2022 to December 2022 at Islamabad International Hospital. A total of 639 blood culture isolates were processed manually onto blood agar, chocolate agar, MacConkey’s agar, and bile-esculin agar and were identified on their morphological appearance using gram staining. Isolates were further identified at the species level using the Analytic Profile Index (API). Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed using the Disk Diffusion method as per Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines (M-100 Version 2021)
Results:
Amongst 639 blood culture isolates, only 66 (10.32%) were culture-positive. Prevalent gram-negative bacilli included Salmonella typhi (n= 19) and Escherichia coli (n= 8) whilst Enterococcus (n=4), and Staphylococcus aureus (n=4) were the predominant gram-positive cocci. Salmonella typhi and S. aureus showed 100% resistance to ciprofloxacin whilst enterococcus displayed 75% resistance. Overall, all strains (n=6) of K. pneumoniae and 63% of E. coli showed resistance to over 4 antibiotics.
Conclusion:
Gram-negative bacteria were the main cause of BSIs, where the predominant microorganism was S. typhi. Remarkably all S. typhi isolates were completely resistant to ciprofloxacin.

Development of Experimental Set up for Temperature Measurement on the Brake Disc of Pulsar 150 cc Motorcycle
Authors: Ajit B. Kolekar Sagar B. Porlekar, 
Published: September 2024

From the standpoint of safety, the braking system is an essential part of the motorcycle. The capacity of the brake disc composition to endure excessive frictional and durability to wear rate is the most crucial factor to take into account. Tolerating the maximum temperature that developed as a result of friction is also needed. Hence to increase the performance of brake disc we need to improve the thermal performance of brake disc. Thermal performance of brake disc is depending on the kind of material utilized for manufacturing of brake discs. As we know, brake disc assembly is rotating and moving from one place to another place in the actual application. Hence it is challenging task to do thermal analysis of brake disc experimentally. In this present study experimental setup is proposed for measuring the brake disc's surface temperature which can be useful to do the thermal analysis of the brake disc.

Enhancing clinical decision-making in radiation therapy: a natural language processing and machine learning approach
Authors: Aouria Ines , Benarabi Bilal , Toubakh Houari , Mezati Messaoud , Zerhouni Noureddine 
Published: September 2024

Radiation oncology is a specialized medical field that employs various forms of radiation therapy to treat cancer and other diseases. Decision-making in this domain often involves intricate considerations. This paper investigates applying natural language processing (NLP) techniques for classifying clinical text data to recommend the appropriate radiation therapy modality proton therapy or photon therapy. We use the Clinical Text Classification subset of the ROND database, which consists of only 100 manually annotated cancer cases. We start by pre-processing the text data, extracting TF-IDF features, and applying random oversampling to handle the class imbalance issue. We train and evaluate several machine learning models, including support vector machines (SVM), random forest, decision trees, and naive Bayes on this textual data alone. The SVM model achieved the highest accuracy of 95% after oversampling. To enhance interpretability, we apply SHAP values method which provide insights into which features are most important for the model's predictions towards recommending therapy and how they impact those predictions, which be crucial for understanding and interpreting machine learning model.

Published: September 2024

Post-COVID syndrome, also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection, has been associated with various long-term effects, one of which is neuropathic pain. This condition is characterized by chronic pain arising from nerve injury and has been observed in many patients recovering from COVID-19, potentially correlating with the severity of the initial infection. Objective: The study aimed to compare the prevalence and types of neuropathic pain in post-COVID patients and investigate the correlation between chronic neuropathic pain and the severity of the initial COVID-19 infection. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at the Department of Medicine, SKBZ/CMH Hospital Muzaffarabad, AJK, from February to August 2024. One hundred fifty post-COVID patients were enrolled, categorized into mild/moderate and severe groups (50 patients each). Neuropathic pain was assessed using the Neuropathic Pain Scale (NPS) at three and six months post-infection. Statistical analysis was performed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to compare mean responses, with p-values < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: Out of 150 patients, 53.3% (80 patients) reported experiencing chronic neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain was more prevalent in patients who had severe COVID-19 symptoms, with 65% of severe cases reporting pain, compared to 40% of mild/moderate cases. The mean NPS score was significantly higher in severe cases (6.8 ± 1.2) compared to mild/moderate cases (4.3 ± 1.0), with a p-value of < 0.01, indicating a strong association between the severity of the initial infection and the subsequent development of neuropathic pain. Conclusion: There is a higher incidence and severity of chronic neuropathic pain in post-COVID patients, particularly those who experienced severe disease manifestations. Early identification and targeted pain management strategies are essential for mitigating the long-term impact of neuropathic pain in these patients.
Quan Niệm Về Thế Giới Sống Từ Edmund Husserl Đến Claude Romano
Authors: Lê Bảo Lộc 
Published: September 2024

Tương quan giữa thế giới và tâm thức con người đã được suy tưởng dưới nhiều lăng kính khác nhau. Ở trường phái hiện tượng luận, tương quan này được suy tưởng dựa trên lối kiến tạo của cái tôi thuần túy. Chính vì thế, từ khi Husserl khởi xướng hiện tượng luận, người ta đã cho rằng thế giới phụ thuộc vào cấu trúc của ý thức con người. Tuy nhiên, hiện tượng luận đã vấp phải những vấn đề nghiêm trọng. Nếu thế giới chỉ phụ thuộc vào ý thức của một người nào đó thì thế giới được quan niệm đầy đủ như nó là hay chưa, bởi vì một người nào khác cũng ý thức về thế giới thì sao? Chắc hẳn, thế giới phải được “cộng thêm” vào “nhiều lần được ý thức nữa”. Dù cho Husserl về sau đã quan niệm lại thế giới ngang qua khái niệm Lebenswelt(thế giới sống) để trả lại tính uyên nguyên và tự trị cho thế giới, nhưng theo Claude Romano khái niệm này chưa thỏa đáng. Vì thế Romano đã tái quan niệm lại thế giới bằng lăng kính vị toàn thể với hy vọng làm cho thế giới được suy tưởng một cách đầy đủ bao nhiêu có thể, nhờ đó mà tương quan giữa thế giới và tâm thức con người mới hy vọng được xác định một cách thỏa đáng.

Abstract
The relationship between the world and human consciousness has been contemplated through many different lenses. In the phenomenological school, this relationship is considered based on the pure ego’s construction. For this reason, ever since Husserl initiated phenomenology, it has been believed that the world depends on the structure of human consciousness. However, phenomenology has encountered significant problems. If the world is solely dependent on one person's consciousness, has the world been fully conceived as it truly is, since another person is also conscious of the world? Certainly, the world must be 'added' with 'many more instances of consciousness.' Even though Husserl later re-conceptualized the world through the notion of Lebenswelt (the lived world) to restore the world’s original and autonomous nature, according to Claude Romano, this concept is still inadequate. Therefore, Romano re-conceptualized the world through a holistic lens, hoping to fully contemplate the world as much as possible, so that the relationship between the world and human consciousness might finally be adequately determined.

Authors: Bùi Thế Dũng 
Published: September 2024

“Giáo Hội như là Bí Tích,” một sáng kiến của Công Đồng Vatican II, định hướng cho việc hiểu và diễn tả bản chất Giáo Hội trong thế giới ngày nay. Nơi Giáo Hội, hai yếu tố nhân loại và thần linh hợp nhất với nhau. Giáo Hội vừa là dấu chỉ hữu hình (sacramentum) vừa mang lại ân sủng cho con người (res sacramenti) hay Giáo Hội vừa mang tính trần thế và vừa mang tính thần linh. Từ cách hiểu về bản chất Giáo Hội như là bí tích, những sứ mạng trong Giáo Hội và của Giáo Hội được định hình và thực thi.
Abstract:
The Church as a Sacrament," an initiative of the Second Vatican Council, guides the understanding and expression of the Church's nature in today's world. In the Church, the human and divine elements unite. The Church is both a visible sign (sacramentum) and brings grace to people (res sacramenti), meaning the Church is both worldly and divine. From this understanding of the Church's nature as a sacrament, its missions within and of the Church are shaped and carried out.

The aim of this study is to gather empirical data on how factors like growth, company size, return on assets, debt ratio, size of audit firm, presence of an independent board of commissioners, and the size of the board of directors impact earnings management in the Indonesian stock market. The research focused on manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2017 and 2019. By using a purposive sampling technique and identifying 73 qualifying companies, the study conducted data analysis through multiple regression. The findings indicate that return on assets plays a significant role in influencing earnings management. Conversely, factors such as company growth, size, debt ratio, audit firm size, presence of an independent board of commissioners, and board size do not have a discernible impact on earnings management practices within the companies.
Teachers’ cognition in changing practice: Implementing group discussion in EFL classes in universities in South-Western China
Authors: Murray Neil , Liddicoat Anthony John , Zhen Fengchao 
Published: September 2024

This paper presents a qualitative study that examined how group discussions were used in EFL classes at universities in Yunnan Province, a resource-limited region in southwest China and how regional issues affected their use and effectiveness. It focuses, in particular, on the role of pedagogical knowledge and pedagogical reasoning in implementing group discussion in tertiary-level English classes. The data was collected through a combination of classroom observations and interviews with a group of teachers who had recently completed an extensive professional development program and were seeking to bring about change in their practice after attending the workshop. The findings indicate that although most teachers understood the importance of group discussion to students’ learning and to respond to the new English language curriculum’s emphasis on developing their communicative competence, they did not necessarily have the pedagogical knowledge and reasoning needed to implement group discussion tasks effectively or to respond to the challenges attempts to do so presented within their institutional cultures. These findings emphasize the need for in-service and pre-service language teacher development programmes that enhance teachers’ knowledge of theory, their appreciation of its practical relevance, and their ability to apply that knowledge in their pedagogical decision-making.
