Key Points

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors slowed the rate of eGFR slope decline in patients with heart failure, CKD, and type 2 diabetes mellitus and in all combinations of multimorbid conditions among these diseases.SGLT2 inhibitors decreased kidney composite outcomes among all disease states and different combinations of multimorbidity, except in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and heart failure without type 2 diabetes mellitus.SGLT2 inhibitors were found to decrease the risk of kidney failure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and also in those with CKD.

Background
The effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) on kidney outcomes in patients with varying combinations of heart failure, CKD, and type 2 diabetes mellitus have not been quantified.

Methods
PubMed and Scopus were queried up to December 2023 for primary and secondary analyses of placebo-controlled trials of SGLT2is in patients with heart failure, CKD, or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Outcomes of interest were composite kidney end point (combination of eGFR <15 ml/min per 1.73 m2, sustained doubling of serum creatinine, varying percent change in eGFR, and need for KRT), rate of eGFR slope decline, and albuminuria progression. Hazard ratios (HRs) and mean differences with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were extracted onto an Excel sheet, and the results were then pooled using a random-effect model through Review Manager (version 5.3, Cochrane Collaboration).

Results
Eleven trials (n=80,928 patients) were included. Compared with the placebo, SGLT2is reduced the risk of the composite kidney end point by 41% (HR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.42 to 0.83) in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, 36% (HR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.55 to 0.73) in CKD, and 38% (HR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.56 to 0.69) in type 2 diabetes mellitus. A similar pattern of benefit was observed in combinations of these comorbidities and in patients without baseline heart failure, CKD, or type 2 diabetes mellitus. SGLT2is slowed the rate of eGFR slope decline and reduced the risk of sustained doubling of serum creatinine by 36% (HR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.56 to 0.72) in the overall population, and a consistent effect on kidney outcomes was observed in most subpopulations with available data.

Conclusions
SGLT2i improved kidney outcomes in cohorts with heart failure, CKD, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and these effects were consistent across patients with different combinations of these comorbidities.

Published: September 2024

The study assessed the relevance of the skills required of undergraduate students towards online learning as well as evaluated the skills possessed by them for online learning. The study employed a descriptive survey research design. The population of the study comprised undergraduate students from the faculties of administration, science, and social science at Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria. A simple random sampling method was adopted to select 375 respondents from the faculties. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that was emailed to respondents and analysed using frequency distribution tables and the chi-square method.The study revealed that personal and technical skills are extremely important for online learning, with average values exceeding the 2.5 standard, indicating that they are required. Also, the students possessed an appreciable number of personal skills that are conducive to online learning. However, students were not well-grounded in technical skills such as good control of database management software, Microsoft Excel, and so on. The study recommends that the university system should implement a hybrid lecture system in which students participate in a blended learning system. Additionally, more technical skill orientations, lectures, seminars, or workshops should be provided to help students improve technical abilities.
Ways of Seeing Nujoom Alghanem’s Nearby Sky (سماء قريبة) and Sharp Tools (آلات حادة) as Docupoetry
Authors: Hambuch Doris 
Published: September 2024

This article proposes to establish a sub-category called “docupoetry” to classify the documentary films by Emirati poet and filmmaker Nujoom Alghanem. Detailed analysis of two selected films, Sharp Tools (2017) and Nearby Sky (2014), illustrates the unique composition, cinematography, and use of poetic devices, such as rhythm, symbolism, and personification of settings, which render the proposed classification beneficial for viewers. Based on Michael Renov’s concept of the poetic documentary as well as on the poetic mode theorized by Bill Nichols, this study finds the definition of a separate sub-category warranted to understand documentaries such as those by Alghanem.

Published: September 2024

The classification algorithm is a technique in the field of machine learning and data mining that is used to group test data based on previously mapped training data. Pattern recognition can also be classified, but not all classification algorithms can perform pattern recognition. An algorithm or classification method that can perform image recognition is that in the Artificial Neural Network method there is a Learning Vector Quantization algorithm which has the advantage of being able to summarize the data set into small and the disadvantage is that it requires calculating all attributes and Fuzzy Neural Network which has, in Lazy Learner is K-Nearest Neighbor which has the advantage of being tough against noise and the disadvantage of needing to determine the value of k and the Template Matching method which is the simplest method, has high accuracy but has the disadvantage of large computational costs if the templates used are quite diverse. With the advantages and disadvantages of the methods previously mentioned, the researcher chose to compare the algorithms or methods of Learning Vector Quantization and Template Matching to be able to see how much accuracy and computational level to recognize an object of research.

Leveraging University Capital and In-Kind Resources into Community Partnerships
Authors: Raisch M. Meghan 
Published: September 2024

Public universities with campuses positioned in urban, low-income neighborhoods have an opportunity and civic obligation to engage with the K-12 schools, non-profits, and community-based organizations who directly serve their community. However, the lack of centralization of our community-facing work and the need to institutionalize community engagement leave community-engaged administrators and scholars with limited budgets and without formal strategic plans that prioritize the commitment of university resources. This paper presents five types of capital that can be leveraged from universities as in-kind resources to create educational programing for youth from low-income communities. Findings highlight the planning and implementation of three out-of-school time (OST) educational partnership programs alternatively based within a community center, on campus, and in two public schools. A document review and deductive thematic analysis of archival data capturing the in-kind resources from the university during a six-year period found the following types of capital were leveraged: physical, financial, intellectual, human, and social. Findings reveal granular examples of what, where, and how to leverage in-kind campus resources to launch and sustain educational youth programming and the early renderings of a strategic model for establishing inter-organizational alliances with cross-campus units for mutually beneficial outcomes that come from institutionalizing community engagement.

Published: September 2024

This paper explains how Leeds, England, developed an anchor system to support inclusive economic growth, and how Leeds Beckett University is managing the process of aligning its strategy and goals to those of the new network.
The paper has three sections:

The genesis of the Leeds network or ‘system’ which is now five years old – explaining its context, development and associated governance between 2017 and 2023. It explains how the Leeds system was developed as a mechanism to promote inclusive growth, environmental sustainability, and better health outcomes for the city, which existing models the Leeds system draws from, and the practical steps taken to define membership of the network and conduct of its business. The 5 core themes are civic commitment by leaders, inclusive employment practice, local purchasing, environmental improvements, and service delivery.
How Leeds Beckett University developed and embedded its role as a founder member of the Leeds network, determined how best to frame its Anchor contribution, animate Anchor programmes, and specifically, to develop a model of service learning. It explains the governance structures the university adopted to manage its contribution, and specifically the challenges of creating greater impact from service learning. The authors share the LBU model of service learning.
A discussion of learning points from our work to date. These include levels of personal and strategic commitment and resourcing required, the development of trust among diverse organisations, building an inclusive model of engagement which retains a practical focus, and the challenge of adapting organisational culture to shared multi organisational goals.
Integrating trauma-informed practices into higher education curriculum
Authors: Young Kathryn , Castro Schepers Ofelia 
Published: September 2024

Over the past decade, there has been a significant focus on integrating trauma-informed practices in educational settings, particularly in K-12 schools. Educators have increasingly recognized the profound impact of trauma on students' well-being and academic success. As students transition from P-12 to higher education, the persistent effects of trauma underscore the need for trauma-informed approaches in university settings. This paper explores the evolving field of trauma-informed practices, emphasizing their relevance in university classrooms.

Acknowledging that many who enter higher education have experienced trauma, the paper addresses how these experiences can pose challenges, leading to misinterpretations of behaviors such as difficulty engaging with others and disengagement in learning. To create an inclusive learning environment, the paper delves into the neurobiological and psychological underpinnings of trauma, providing educators and administrators with the knowledge to recognize, empathize, and respond effectively to students with trauma experiences and all students.

Practical strategies for implementation in the university classroom are presented, aiming to foster support and inclusivity for students with a history of trauma. By bridging the gap between P-12 and university settings, the paper enhances understanding of trauma's enduring impact and offers tangible strategies to create an inclusive educational environment that facilitates learning and growth for all.

Published: September 2024

: Early diagnosis of Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) in psoriasis patients is crucial but challenging. This study aimed to describe the prevalence, clinical, laboratory, and imaging characteristics of early PsA in a dermatology outpatient setting. : A retrospective study was conducted on 20 psoriasis patients. Clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were collected to identify PsA features. The prevalence of PsA and its correlation with Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores were analyzed.: The prevalence of PsA in the study cohort was 40%. Higher PASI scores were significantly associated with PsA (p=0.001). The most common clinical presentation of PsA was oligoarticular (50%), followed by polyarticular (37.5%) and axial (12.5%) patterns. Laboratory findings showed elevated ESR and CRP levels (p&#60;0.001), but no significant association with rheumatoid markers. Imaging, particularly MRI, was effective in detecting enthesitis (35%). Multivariable analysis identified higher PASI scores and a family history of PsA as significant predictors for PsA development.: The study highlights the high prevalence of PsA among psoriasis patients in dermatology settings. Severe psoriasis, as indicated by higher PASI scores, is a significant predictor of PsA. Early identification and management of PsA are crucial, with MRI being an effective diagnostic tool.
Art of Coming Upon Something

Published: September 2024

This paper explores the nature and experience of artistic mastery, that is, the experience of being long-practiced in an art such as writing, oil painting and teaching. Following the hermeneutic tradition and drawing on H.-G. Gadamer’s Truth and Method and other hermeneutic sources, the authors engage in a dialogue about their respective experiences of what it means to become experienced in an art form. The origin of their dialogue springs from one author reading and commenting on the other’s doctoral thesis, and discerning a hermeneutic sensibility in noticing the significance of emergent moments in life experience and in artistic practice.

Pletekan leaves (Ruellia tuberosa L.) used as antidiabetic (type 2) contains flavonoid (polyphenol compounds) to prevent the formation of oxidative stress because of excess amount of glucose. In the previous research, naturally brewed of pletekan leaves combined with cinnamon gave the best result in taste and gave the highest concentration of tannin and phenol than other natural flavor (bay leaves, ginger, and pandan leaves). Thus, in this research, the variation concentration of cinnamon added in brewed of pletekan leaves that gave the best result was studied. This study was arranged in randomized design with six concentrations of cinnamon and three replications. The parameters analyzed were total phenolic, tannin, antioxidant activity, and organoleptic results (hedonic test) that was analyzed with ANOVA at 5% level. The result showed that the addition of the highest cinnamon concentration (S6) gave the highest concentration of phenol (224.88 ± 1.85 mg/L) and tannin (227.18 ± 1.67 mg/L) with the highest inhibition percentage as antioxidant (55.53 ± 0.16 %). In the organoleptic results, combination of pletekan leaves with the highest cinnamon concentration (S6) gave the highest preferred color (63.39%), taste (61.63%), and odor (70.2%), thus this one was the best combination in giving the preferred taste of beverage. So that, naturally brewed of pletekan leaves combined with cinnamon could increasing taste of it and expected to be a one of beverage from leaves. The brewed of pletekan leaves combined with cinnamon could increasing taste of it and expected to be a one of beverage from leaves as a raw material.

Abstract

Understanding and preserving the natural movements of wildlife within their habitats is crucial for their survival. Recent years have underscored the importance of comprehending and safeguarding animal migration and dispersal patterns in wilderness areas, as these behaviors are integral to maintaining ecosystem sustainability. Identifying regions with high movement permeability has become essential for effective habitat management, particularly for species like tigers, which can impact human-animal conflict significantly. Rajaji National Park, situated in Uttarakhand, India, serves as a vital tiger reserve, supporting a significant population of these majestic creatures. This research employs a circuit theory approach to construct a connectivity map of Rajaji National Park, focusing on facilitating the movement of tigers (Panthera tigris tigris) within the protected area. By utilizing circuit theory, this method illuminates areas of heightened connectivity crucial for tiger dispersal, aiding in conservation efforts within the foothills of the Himalayas. The study aims to assess dispersal dynamics within the protected area, pinpointing regions experiencing conservation challenges. The research follows a systematic methodology, beginning with habitat suitability analysis and the generation of a resistance surface. This surface indicates the suitability of various regions for tiger movement, derived from an extensive literature review. Land use and land cover data are utilized to generate the resistance surface, employing tools such as the Gnarly Landscape Utilities toolbox. This surface serves as input data for Circuitscape, alongside the designated start and end points of tiger movement. The results of the analysis identify significant areas crucial from a conservation perspective, highlighting zones requiring immediate attention from policymakers and conservationists. These findings offer valuable insights for enhancing wildlife management and conservation strategies, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing the preservation of key habitats and connectivity corridors.

Abstract

Purpose
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of CKD on postoperative complications and survival of fractures.
Methods
The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and CNKI databases were searched from inception to May 15, 2024. The search strategy focused on two keywords: dialysis and hip fracture. Pooled odds ratios and mean differences were analyzed. RevMan 5.4 was used for data analysis in this meta-analysis.
Results
This meta-analysis included 19 studies involving 1,615,440 patients. The CKD group had higher proportions of males, smokers, and preoperative comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, chronic lung disease, coronary heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, dementia, and wound infection. The CKD group also had a higher likelihood of postoperative myocardial infarction (OR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.54 to 1.81, P < 0.00001). There was no significant difference in cerebrovascular accidents, liver failure, sepsis, and overall complications between the two groups. Additionally, the CKD group had higher mortality rates at 30 days (OR = 2.71, 95% CI = 2.23 to 3.28, P < 0.00001), 1 year (OR = 3.17, 95% CI = 2.64 to 3.82, P < 0.00001), 2 years (OR = 3.06, 95% CI = 2.88 to 3.25, P < 0.00001), and 10 years (OR = 6.85, 95% CI = 5.84 to 8.03, P < 0.00001) post-surgery compared to the non-CKD group.
Conclusion
Compared to the non-CKD group, patients in the CKD group did not show a significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications after fracture surgery, but their postoperative mortality rate was significantly higher.
