Published: October 2024

Background
Community perception of mental illness is a collective belief system and attitude about mental disorders; it affects the availability of services, the level of stigma, and the help-seeking intention. This study assessed community perceptions towards mental illness and help-seeking intentions in Southwest Ethiopia.

Methods and material
A community-based analytical cross-sectional study was done in Southwest Ethiopian People’s Regional State (SWEPRS), from March 1st to June 30th, 2021. All adult individuals >18 years old living in the region were the source population, while all adult >18 years old living in the selected household were the study population. The calculated sample size was 1028. Participants were selected using a multistage sampling technique. A structured, interview-based questionnaire was used to collect the data. The data were entered into Epidata Manager and exported to SPSS for analysis.

Result
The response rate for this study was 95.4%. The prevalence of poor perception and unfavorable help-seeking intention of mental illness were 45.8%, 95% CI (42.6, 48.9), and 49.5%, 95% CI (46.4, 52.7) respectively. Being rural [AOR = 1.94 (95% CI:(1.41, 2.66)]c, lack of information [AOR = 4.82(95% CI: (3.39,6.83)], exposure to mental illness [AOR = 4.11(95% CI:(2.64,6.38)] were significantly associated with poor perception of mental illness. Also, gating mental illness information [AOR = 0.40 (95% CI: (0.19, 0.83)], and being exposed to mental illness [AOR = 0.56 (95% CI: (0.41, 0.79)] were significantly associated with unfavorable help-seeking intentions for mental illness.

Conclusion
The high prevalence of poor perceptions and unfavorable help-seeking intentions for mental illness can be minimized through providing tailored information regarding the cause, type, and severity of the problem, particularly in the rural areas.

Published: October 2024

Purpose
In patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) from YOSEMITE/RHINE, dual angiopoietin-2/vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) inhibition with faricimab resulted in visual/anatomic improvements with extended dosing. The SWAN trial (jRCTs031230213) will assess the efficacy, durability, and safety of faricimab during the treatment maintenance phase in patients with DME using a treat-and-extend (T&E)-based regimen adapted to clinical practice and the characteristics of patients achieving extended dosing intervals.

Methods
SWAN is a 2-year, open-label, single-arm, interventional, multicenter trial enrolling adults with center-involving DME. All patients will receive three initial faricimab 6.0 mg doses every 4 weeks (Q4W). From week 12 onwards, in patients without active DME, dosing intervals will be extended in 8-week increments up to Q24W. In contrast, patients with active DME (central subfield thickness [CST] >325 μm and intraretinal fluid [IRF] or subretinal fluid [SRF] resulting in vision loss/disease aggravation) will receive a dose within a day and the dosing interval will be shortened by 4 weeks to a minimum of Q8W relative to the previous dosing interval. Recruitment commenced in August 2023 across a planned 16 sites in Japan.

Results
The primary endpoint is change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline at 1 year (averaged over weeks 52, 56, and 60). Key secondary endpoints include: change from baseline in BCVA, CST, and National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire scores over time; proportion of patients with BCVA (decimal visual acuity) ≥0.5, ≥0.7, ≥1.0, or ≤0.1; proportion of patients with absence of DME, and IRF and/or SRF over time. Safety endpoints include incidence/severity of ocular/nonocular adverse events.

Conclusions
The SWAN trial is expected to provide evidence to support individualized faricimab dosing regimens, with the potential to reduce the burden of frequent treatments on patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems.
“Using the right tools and addressing the right issue”: A qualitative exploration to support better care for intimate partner violence, brain injury, and mental health
Authors: Toccalino Danielle , Haag Halina (Lin) , Nalder Emily , Chan Vincy , Moore Amy , Wickens Christine M. , Colantonio Angela 
Published: October 2024

Background
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global public health crisis. Often repetitive and occurring over prolonged periods of time, IPV puts survivors at high risk of brain injury (BI). Mental health concerns are highly prevalent both among individuals who have experienced IPV and those who have experienced BI, yet the interrelatedness and complexity of these three challenges when experienced together is poorly understood. This qualitative study explored care provision for IPV survivors with BI (IPV-BI) and mental health concerns from the perspectives of both survivors and providers.

Methods
This qualitative interpretive description study was part of a broader research project exploring employment, mental health, and COVID-19 implications for survivors of IPV-BI. Participants (N = 24), including survivors and service providers, participated in semi-structured group and individual interviews between October 2020 and February 2021. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and thematically analyzed.

Findings
Four themes were developed from interview findings: 1) identifying BI and mental health as contributing components to survivors’ experiences is critical to getting appropriate care; 2) supporting survivors involves a “toolbox full of strategies” and a flexible approach; 3) connecting and collaborating across sectors is key; and 4) underfunding and systemic barriers hinder access to care. Finally, we share recommendations from participants to better support IPV survivors.

Conclusions
Identifying both BI and mental health concerns among IPV survivors is critical to providing appropriate supports. Survivors of IPV experiencing BI and mental health concerns benefit from a flexible and collaborative approach to care; health and social care systems should be set up to support these collaborative approaches.
Hemorrhagic Cholecystitis Due to Rupture of Underlying Anomalous Duplicated Cystic Arteries
Authors: Diaz Victoria , Trad George , Boo Sue 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
Hemorrhagic cholecystitis (HC) is a rare complication that can become rapidly fatal. Patients may present with hematemesis or melena, in addition to other common symptoms of acute cholecystitis. Delay in diagnosing HC postpones early intervention, and patients can quickly decompensate. We present a 33-year-old man with hematemesis and downtrending hemoglobin. Imaging revealed underlying anomalies of duplicate cystic arteries that ruptured, an occurrence never reported in the literature before. Bilateral cystic arteries were embolized successfully. This case demonstrates the importance of early consideration of HC as a differential. Recognition and timely diagnosis prompt urgent intervention, which can reduce morbidity.

The Role of Management Accounting : It's Implementation In The Public Sector
Authors: Sabeni Arifin 
Published: October 2024

Many definitions of management accounting exist, and although these lack of complete agreement, it is possible to say that management accounting plays important roles in an organization. Particularly, it plays in the managerial tasks of planning, controlling, and decision­making. All organizations need to make decisions and need to plan and control their activities, and all organizations, whether they be in the private or the public sector, ought to be able to benefit from the use of such management accounting techniques. However, the management accounting literature and the development of the techniques of management accounting are almost exclusively concerned with a private sector environment. Little discussions are placed on the public sector environment. For this reason, the purpose of this paper is to discuss the role and operation of management accounting in the public sector. In so doing, this paper; firstly, discusses the role of management accounting in an organization, then, the role and operation of management accounting in the public sector. After that, in order to give a comparison between theory and practice, this paper describes the actual practice of the role and operation of management accounting in the New South Wales Department of Education as an illustration. Furthermore, such evaluation of management accounting practices in the public sector are dis­ cussed; andfinally; summary and conclusion.
Precarious privilege: identity (re)construction among international students returning to South Korea
Authors: Choi Lee Jin , Park Mi Yung 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This study explores identity (re)construction of three South Korean early-study abroad (ESA) university students who returned to their homeland after studying in the US and acquiring a high level of proficiency in English. Inasmuch as educational migration is frequently viewed as an effective strategy for securing pathways to socioeconomic mobility, less is known about the specific conditions and practices that influence ESA students’ identity and socialization in a university setting, especially upon their return to their homeland. This study contributes to the discussion of ESA by demonstrating how they (re)constructed their transnational identities in their reintegration process and the role of their bilingual competence in this process. The findings of this study demonstrate the complex identity negotiation of elite transnational students in Korea, where Korean is both the national language and the dominant language, and where multiple ideologies on language and educational mobility exist. The findings also show the precarities experienced by elite bilingual returnees, illustrating how educational mobility and precarity are mutually constitutive in significant ways.

Clinical performance of a new lateral flow immunoassay for xylazine detection
Authors: Contella Lindsey , Snyder Marion L. , Kang Phillip , Tolan Nicole V. , Melanson Stacy E.F. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Xylazine is a potent sedative used in veterinary medicine. Recently, recreational drugs such as fentanyl have been found to contain xylazine, increasing the risk of respiratory depression and death. Despite a similar presentation to opioid overdose, patients who ingest xylazine do not respond to treatment with Narcan. Therefore, rapid detection of xylazine could improve patient management and prevent adverse outcomes.

Methods
We evaluated the XYL500 one-step xylazine drug of abuse test for its ability to detect xylazine in 152 urine samples from patients on chronic opioid therapy for pain management or in treatment for substance use disorder. Results were compared to LC-MS/MS as the reference method. Precision, cross-reactivity, interference and stability studies were performed.

Results
Pooled patient samples were consistently negative or positive when tested five times on the same day and over three days of testing. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the XYL500 assay were 74, 98, and 82 % respectively, as compared with LC-MS/MS. XYL500 detected 77 of the 104 LC-MS/MS positive samples identified in our initial evaluation, including some that contained low levels of xylazine (n=8), <10 ng/mL. Minimal cross-reactivity with other opioid analgesics and commonly encountered drugs was seen with only one false positive result. Interferences by common urine contaminants were negligible. Specimens were stable up to 160 days refrigerated and up to 80 days at room temperature.

Conclusions
XYL500 allows for rapid detection of xylazine, illustrating its utility in monitoring patients who ingested recreational drugs containing the additive, xylazine, and its potential to improve patient management.

Abstract
European Union (EU) regulations on in vitro diagnostics (IVD) and on serious cross-border threats to health provide for the establishment of European Reference Laboratories (EURLs) and their harmonization and cooperation with National Reference Laboratories (NRLs). While the EURLs under the IVD Regulation will be operational by 1 October 2024, the EURLs under the Regulation on serious cross-border threats to health will be operational by January 2025. Although NRLs may have been operating for a long time on the basis of national legislation, they should now cooperate with each other and with EURLs in a network of centers of excellence for the authorization and post-market surveillance of IVDs and for the epidemiological surveillance and control of communicable diseases. The term “reference laboratory” has long been used colloquially to refer to many kinds of laboratories, regardless of their tasks, competencies, responsibilities and designation. A literature search and analysis confirmed this by showing that a considerable proportion of scientific publications in 2024 use the term “reference laboratory” inappropriately. In order to clarify the roles and functioning of EURLs and NRLs, we have evaluated the relevant current EU provisions and compared the findings with those of reference laboratories designated by other organizations, calibration (reference) laboratories and referral laboratories, which are simply referred to as “reference laboratories”. With the forthcoming implementation of the EU regulations, at least the goals of providing safe and high-quality IVDs and adequate public health surveillance for communicable diseases appear to be achievable.
An investigation on NGR failure in Indian smart cities while replacing the existing overhead lines by underground cables

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Nowadays, Indian power distribution companies (PDCs) are implementing smart distribution networks. Older cities are becoming smarter as per the recent government’s policy. Existing overhead distribution lines are being replaced by underground cables as an essential criterion of a smart city. One of the main problems arising in this process is the overheating of the neutral grounding resistor (NGR) in 11 kV distribution systems, even in normal conditions. NGRs, placed inside the substations, are overloading the air conditioning and exhaust systems of the substation. Sometimes failure of the NGR occurs due to overheating. In this paper, a comprehensive investigation has been carried out to reach the roots of this problem. It is observed that long underground cables have a higher ground capacitance than overhead distribution lines. Due to the higher cable capacitance, the third harmonic current circulates through neutral, which overheats the NGR even in normal conditions. The situation becomes worse when the substation runs on diesel generators (DGs) in an isolated state under main grid failure, as a higher amount of third-harmonic current circulates depending on the type of winding and pitch factor of the DGs. Different solutions are proposed, and their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. Finally, the rating of the NGR is modified, and louvers-cooling fan arrangement is preferred for the running substation.
Children learning Mongolian as an additional language through the implementation of a task-based approach

Abstract
This study was undertaken at a Mongolian community language school which aims to support Mongolian heritage children to learn their home language and culture. The learners were aged 4–15 years with diverse abilities in the Mongolian language. Informed by both purpose-developed Needs and Interest Analyses, a task-based language teaching (TBLT) program was developed and implemented over a six-month period. To evaluate the usefulness of this, two methods were utilised. Firstly, learners’ task-based interactions were recorded regularly, transcribed and qualitatively analysed. Secondly, stakeholder feedback was elicited via interviews. The findings showed that the learners interacted in ways facilitative of second language acquisition (i.e., they received abundant input, used a variety of interactive strategies, provided peer scaffolding, and modified their output according to the feedback). They also engaged in translanguaging to support their understanding and meaning making. Stakeholder feedback pointed to some challenges, but also many positive outcomes.
How time influences episiotomy utilization and obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS)

Published: October 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) pose significant challenges for young women following childbirth. The association between mediolateral episiotomy and OASIS remains a subject of debate and uncertainty. This study seeks to fill this gap.

Methods
This retrospective cohort study was performed using electronic database of obstetrics department at a tertiary medical center. All vaginal deliveries and vacuum-assisted deliveries at term, with a singleton live fetus at cephalic presentation between 2015 and 2021, were included. A comparison of the rates of mediolateral episiotomy and OASIS was conducted between the periods 2015–2017 and 2018–2021. Subgroup analysis was carried out based on parity and the mode of delivery.

Results
Overall, the study included 18,202 women. Between 2015 and 2017, episiotomy was performed in 1,272 cases (17.5 %), compared to 1,241 cases (11.4 %) between 2018 and 2021 (p<0.0001). Conversely, a significant increase in OASIS was observed, rising from 0.3 % during 2015–2017 to 0.6 % during 2018–2021 (p=0.012). Multivariable analysis unveiled two factors significantly linked to OASIS: the temporal cohort studied, indicating an increasing trend in recent years, and the utilization of epidural analgesia, which exhibited a protective effect, while episiotomy was not associated with OASIS.

Conclusions
Our findings indicate a marked decline in the utilization of episiotomy over the study period, accompanied by an increase in OASIS incidence. Nevertheless, our analysis found no statistically significant link between episiotomy use and OASIS incidence.
