Case Scenario: The Impact of Social Determinants of Health on LGBTQIA+ Patients
Authors: Rogers Sean , Sturtevant Jennifer , Armstrong Kirk 
Published: October 2024

Context
There is a prominent need to include high-quality educational content within professional athletic training programs relevant to the unique needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) patients. Although the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Standards for Professional Programs details the requirement for diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice education (DEI 1 and 2), there is no specific requirement to include LGBTQIA+ content within the curriculum.

Objective
To detail a cased-based learning strategy to implement LGBTQIA+ content related to the social determinants of health within the curriculum.

Background
Athletic trainers and other healthcare professions have reported a lack in educational opportunities that would prepare them to competently provide care to LGBTQIA+ patients.

Description
This case scenario, and associated discussion and debrief questions, explores the intersection of minority stress and social determinants of health that negatively affect the health and well-being of an LGBTQIA+ patient, particularly in the secondary school setting.

Educational Advantages
Integrating active learning strategies allows students to engage in active thinking, group discussion, and clinical decision-making that prepare them better for clinical practice than passive learning strategies.

Conclusion
Intentional inclusion of LGBTQIA+ content within the curriculum will better prepare students to provide culturally competent care to LGBTQIA+ patients while fostering cultural humility.
Proposed enhanced gap analysis model for information systems sector (ISSERVQUAL)
Authors: Taha Raghda , Abdallah Khaled , Adel Yasmin 
Published: October 2024

Orientation: Gap analysis in the information system (IS) sector is difficult to assess.Research purpose: A gap analysis model based on SERVQUAL is proposed to assess the gaps in IS services.Motivation for the study: During coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), there has been an extensive use of distant learning and virtual meeting applications. Yet, there is no well-documented way to evaluate the IS service provided.Research design, approach and method: The proposed model adds a performance dimension covering the main characteristics of IS services. The model is tested on the internet service providers in Egypt as a case study. A questionnaire for the proposed model is developed, validated and distributed.Main findings: The questionnaire is statistically analysed to find whether there is statistical difference between the expectation and the perception for each factor. Then the data are tested to find whether the gender of the respondents, internet service provider and the status of whether the respondent pays for the service themself have a significant effect on the gap scores or not. Finally, an ordinal regression fit is introduced to estimate the overall satisfaction of the customers based on their gap score.Practical/managerial implications: Despite SERVQUAL being an adequate tool to analyse the gaps for different services, it needs some adaptation to fit different services. One important drawback of SERVQUAL analysis for the IS sector is that the dimensions of SERVQUAL do not fully cover the customer expectations in the IS sector.Contribution/value-add: This paper attempts to fill this gap in the literature by introducing the ‘ISSERVQUAL’ model.
Exploring sustainable food supply chain management practices to enhance food security
Authors: Munuhwa Shakerod , Hove-Sibanda Progress 
Published: October 2024

Background: The food industry faces longstanding challenges in meeting sustainability practices within its supply chain, often prioritising commercial obligations and profit motives. However, there is a growing recognition of the critical role that sustainable food supply chain management (SFSCM) practices play in enhancing food security.Objectives: This study aims to establish the significance of SFSCM practices in enhancing food security. Furthermore, the study explores approaches to reduce challenges against implementation of SFSCM practices.Method: The study employed a qualitative approach and used stratified and purposive sampling techniques to interview 22 participants from a population of 9 gatekeeper institutions within the Zimbabwean food industry.Results: The findings highlighted several essential SFSCM practices covering waste management, logistics optimisation, water and energy conservation, employing qualified individuals, carbon emission reduction, corporate social responsibility, cost reduction, pricing efficiency, fair food distribution and continuous consumer taste surveys. Approaches to reduce SFSCM implementation challenges were also identified, and these include stakeholder communication plans, capacity building programmes, integrating sustainability into mission statements, budget allocation, lobbying for government support, and fostering collaborative engagements. Open information sharing was also emphasised.Conclusion: It is concluded that the adoption of identified SFSCM practices by food producers, intermediaries, suppliers, consumers and other stakeholders can significantly enhance food security and minimise hunger in nations.Contribution: This article contributes to the understanding of addressing SFSCM implementation challenges and provides valuable insights into the importance of sustainable practices in improving food security within the Zimbabwean food industry and the world at large.
Early intervention in viper bites: a potential strategy to mitigate acute kidney injury and its long-term consequences
Authors: Mushtaq Rabeea , Ramlah Naz  , Mehreen Fatima  
Published: October 2024

Dear Editor,
By this letter we intend to highlight the close association between snake bites and acute kidney injury, as the causative snakes are common natives of Tropical regions and a common cause of death because of being poorly managed.
Snake bites are a significant cause of acute kidney injury in tropical regions, particularly in Eastern Pakistan, where Russell's viper, a common cause, is prevalent. The farmlands of Sindh and Balochistan are predisposed to snake bites due to their favorable weather and vast fields. A 2020 study found 454 snakebite cases in Southern Sindh, with 6 deaths. The most common mechanisms are venom-mediated consumption coagulopathy (VMCC) and endothelial damage, leading to systemic bleeding diathesis and decreased perfusion of end organs. Long-term effects of snake bites include worsening renal conditions and progression towards end-stage renal disease.
Eastern Pakistan commonly harbors Russell’s viper- a frequent cause of snakebite-associated mortality, which belongs to the Viperidae family and is famously known to produce vasculotoxic venom. (1) The farmlands of Sindh and Balochistan are predisposed to snake bites as the weather of these regions and the vast fields allow the vipers to flourish and thrive well. A study conducted in 2020, representing the population of Southern Sindh, demonstrated a total of 454 cases of snakebite in a span of 1 year, out of which 6 victims died. (2) Since the prevalence of vipers is common in the district of Sindh, the deaths could be attributable to the hemorrhagic manifestations of vipers' bites.
The most significant mechanisms underlying viper bite presentations are venom-mediated consumption coagulopathy (VMCC) and endothelial damage resulting in systemic bleeding diathesis, which together contribute to decreased perfusion of end organs like the heart, kidneys, brain, or gastrointestinal system. (3) VMCC is a major contributor to acute kidney injury (AKI), a common outcome of vasculotoxic snake bites, along with enzymatic dissolution of the glomerular basement membrane (BM) by the venom metalloproteinases. (4) The hemorrhagic deterioration of the vessels leads to ischemic nephropathy, and the impaired BM allows proteinuria, hemoglobinuria, and increased creatinine, often predisposing the victim to timely dialysis. A study concluded that individuals with co-morbidities are more susceptible to developing long-term effects of snake bites like worsening renal conditions such as new-onset hypertension, dialysis dependence, and end-stage renal disease.

Abstract: Abundant banana stem waste is often wasted and becomes an environmental problem. In fact, research results show that banana stems are rich in benefits, one of which is the potential as an anti-obesity agent. Seeing this potential, the community service team tried to process banana stem waste into nutritious and economically valuable food products. This community service activity focused on assisting PKK Metuk mothers in processing banana stems into innovative food products. With intensive training and assistance, it is hoped that PKK mothers can produce value-added food products from banana stem waste. In addition to providing health benefits to the community, this activity is also expected to improve the community's economy through the development of small and medium enterprises based on local resources. The results of this community service activity show that the processing of banana stem waste into food products can be successful. PKK mothers succeeded in producing food products that are not only beneficial for health, but also have good market potential. This success proves that banana stem waste can be a valuable resource if managed properly.

EQ-5D-3L Population Norms for Trinidad and Tobago
Authors: Bailey Henry H 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT

Objective
Quality of life measures are increasingly being used in clinical practice and in research. Internationally EQ-5D is the most commonly used generic health related quality of life instrument. The EQ-5D system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, ability to conduct usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. This study sought to provide a set of population norms for Trinidad and Tobago to facilitate clinical and other researchers who wish to use the EQ-5D-3L value set that was recently created for Trinidad and Tobago. Population norms are baseline values against which the EQ-5D health status of patients or patient groups can be compared.

Methods
Self-reported health data using the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire were taken from two previously undertaken surveys of representative samples of the Trinidad and Tobago population. EQ-5D-3L health states, mean EQ VAS (visual analogue scale) scores and mean EQ-5D-3L index values were obtained for demographic groups.

Results
Data were obtained for 590 respondents. The mean EQ VAS value was 82.3 and the mean EQ-5D-3L index value was 0.931. The EQ-5D dimensions with the highest rates of reported problems were pain/discomfort (29%) and anxiety/depression (14%). Self-reported health was observed to decline as age progresses and men reported higher levels of health than women.

Conclusion
The population norms in this study can be used as base-line values for key demographic groups in clinical practice and in clinico-economic research using EQ-5D-3L.

Authors: Anghelea Anca , Smith Garin , Meissl Stephan , Achtsnit Stefan 
Published: October 2024

Abstract. Earth Observations (EO) have become crucial for advancing climate and Earth System research, enabling significant scientific discoveries. Advanced EO missions, such as ESA’s Earth Explorers and the EU's Copernicus Programme, provide vast data volumes and continuous and global observations with cutting-edge technology, a vital resource for understanding processes and interactions within Earth's sub-systems, offering critical evidence of climate change impacts on society and ecosystems. Open access to such data products has been instrumental in facilitating global scientific collaboration and innovation. Reproducibility in Earth Science is essential for validating discoveries, enabling the scientific community to trust and build upon each other’s work. Open data, coupled with open-source software, is key to achieving this reproducibility, ensuring transparency, and facilitating peer review. Addressing scientific challenges requires collaborative efforts supported by fit-for-purpose technology to enable new insights and ensuring they are FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable), trustable and up to date, supporting long-term climate studies and action-driven science. Several initiatives within ESA’s Earth Observation Programme are fostering FAIR and Open Science. EarthCODE is one such initiative, focusing on implementing ESA’s vision of EO Open Science and Innovation by adopting FAIR and Open principles in Earth Science activities funded by ESA’s FutureEO Programme. EarthCODE leverages existing European platform solutions for effective cloud-based analyses of EO data and higher-level geospatial products. It aims to ensure the persistence of end-to-end scientific workflows and provide means for managing open research data, including data, code, and documentation. EarthCODE aims to make Earth Science research more reproducible, transparent, and collaborative, driving progress in understanding and addressing global environmental challenges.
Undergraduate Students Develop Questioning, Creativity, and Collaboration Skills by Using the Question Formulation Technique
Authors: Summers Mindi , Fernandez Jordann , Handy-Hart Cody-Jordan , Kulle Sarah , Flanagan Kyla 
Published: October 2024

Asking questions can be one of the most difficult, yet important, steps in driving student inquiry. As post-secondary instructors work to integrate inquiry into classrooms, very few concrete strategies exist for developing and promoting student questioning. The Question Formulation Technique (QFT) is a structured process used widely in K-12 settings that guides students through generating, evaluating, and reflecting on questions. In these contexts, the QFT has been shown to develop important skills, including building creative capacity (divergent and convergent thinking), metacognition, and collaborative teamwork. While we have used QFT in many contexts with undergraduate students, there is very limited evidence of effectiveness and impact beyond K-12. In this study, we explored how students collaboratively developed questions using the Question Formulation Technique (QFT) in an undergraduate upper-division biology class. We documented and explored themes in question generation and collected student group reflections on their experiences. We show that undergraduate students are productive in generating questions using QFT, and asking questions broadly across the course themes, with the number of questions increasing by the end of the term. Students enjoyed the QFT process, were excited by the questions generated, and found the collaborative brainstorming effective. We also reflect on our experiences and provide ideas for other ways QFT can be incorporated into courses to support undergraduate inquiry and research. We found that QFT helps biology undergraduate students ask their own questions and use inquiry to explore concepts creatively and collaboratively.
Combining SIFT and the Information Needs, Types, and Qualities Approaches: A Framework-Informed Strategy for Information Literacy Instruction
Authors: Hendrigan Holly , Tan Sheena , Cukierman Diana 
Published: October 2024

Increasingly, librarians are encouraged to deliver information literacy sessions that go beyond finding and using traditional scholarly sources. They are asked to cover a wider range of the information ecosystem and develop students’ capacity to critically engage with Google and the open web. In this study, we incorporated these learning objectives in an introductory computational thinking course, combining two information literacy pedagogies. For evaluating sources, we used Mike Caulfield’s SIFT technique (Stop, Investigate the source, Find better coverage; Trace claims to the original source); for resource discovery, Lane Wilkinson’s Information Needs, Types and Qualities lesson. We adapted Wilkinson’s worksheet, asked students to apply the SIFT technique to their chosen sources, and added a reflection component where students documented their research process. We conducted a content analysis of the assignment responses and coded evidence of students demonstrating knowledge practices and dispositions of two frames from the ACRL Framework, Authority is Constructed and Contextual and Searching as Strategic Exploration. Our analysis showed that students responded well to learning the SIFT technique, particularly at investigating sources; furthermore, Wilkinson’s pedagogy for source discovery encouraged students to use a wide variety of research tools. The reflection component further revealed evidence of students’ research processes and metacognition. We found this unit to be an effective means of assessing these Framework concepts, and argue that it can be applied to other topics and disciplines.

As festas cívicas escolares como espaço de representação de saberes e práticas educativas compõem o objeto desta investigação. Analisamos o papel da pedagogia das festas para os estudantes, bem como demonstrar a função curricular e política que as celebrações cívicas para os escolares apresentavam durante os governos de ditadura civil-militar. Assim, entendemos as comemorações cívicas escolares em Sergipe, nos anos entre 1964 e 1985, para além de momentos de divertimento, configuravam-se em oportunidades de formação da disciplina dos estudantes e da comunidade em sua volta. Eram ocasiões propícias para serem forjadas atitudes e mentalidades que se encontravam em consonância com o contexto sociopolítico da época, que também se refletiam no próprio currículo escolar, a exemplo dos conteúdos ministrados na disciplina Educação Física. Para tal, realizamos uma pesquisa histórica por meio de análise documental, ancorada nos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da História Cultural. Por meio da pesquisa, foi possível constatar que as comemorações cívicas escolares em Sergipe se operacionalizaram enquanto rituais de celebrações e formação educacional atreladas aos conteúdos curriculares, forjando e apresentando à sociedade a forma de “educar”, a partir da disciplina e do civismo. Para a pesquisa foram selecionadas fontes diversas, dentre as quais se destacam documentos como: leis, jornais, periódicos impressos de divulgação local e imagens fotográficas. Desse modo, foi possível perceber a natureza das celebrações, destacando-se o culto à pátria, diante dos desfiles em comemoração ao aniversário da independência do Brasil, como também as atividades curriculares e extracurriculares vinculadas ao ensino da música e aos Jogos da Primavera.
THE RESILIENCE OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND VITAL FUNCTIONS AND SERVICES: THE FORMALIZATION OF THE TASKS AND CONTENT OF STAKEHOLDER’S ACTIONS
Authors: Sukhodolia Oleksandr 
Published: October 2024

In the article, the author analyzes the content and tasks of activity to implement the concept of resilience. The article begins with a short overview of the theoretical background of the resilience concept and examines legislation on national resilience recently approved in several countries. The author then demonstrates the relevance of the research regarding the resilience of life-supporting vital functions and services and of critical infrastructure under Ukrainian law. The main tasks and challenges of stakeholders in a certain domain of regulation are outlined, along with an approach to rationalize the content of activities. Next, examples of typical response measures by stages of the crisis response cycle to ensure resilience of certain areas of regulation are given. Ukraine’s response to power supply disruptions due to the destruction of the energy infrastructure by Russia in autumn-winter of 2022–2023 are summarized.
The author provides a conceptual model for the formalization of objectives, goal setting and development of regulatory tools to ensure the resilience of vital functions and services and functioning of critical infrastructure. This model is extended with a description of the approach for designing the target parameters of response measures and for determining the necessary and possible levels of performance of critical infrastructure or/and vital services within the goals of the area of regulation in focus. This includes an example of the usage of the model developed to justify measures for ensuring continuity of power supply to communities.
The author then proposes principles to determine the actors responsible for resilience planning at different levels of governance. He demonstrates the differences in the remit and authorities of various participants and the need to develop a separate formal tool, which prescribes the activities of all participants involved in ensuring community resilience. Finally, the author outlines a proposed structure and content of community resilience plans.
