Quality of life and psychological distress in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis and transplantation
Authors: Shdaifat Emad A , Abu-Sneineh Firas T , Ibrahim Abdallah M 
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
Among diverse profound impacts on patients’ quality of life (QoL), end-stage renal disease (ESRD) frequently results in increased levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. Renal replacement therapies such as hemodialysis (HD) and transplantation (TX) are intended to enhance QoL, although their ability to alleviate psychological distress remains uncertain. This research posits the existence of a significant correlation between negative emotional states and QoL among ESRD patients, with varying effects observed in HD and TX patients.
AIM
To examine the relationship between QoL and negative emotional states (depression, anxiety, and stress) and predicted QoL in various end-stage renal replacement therapy patients with ESRD.
METHODS
This cross-sectional study included HD or TX patients in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia. The 36-item Short Form Survey and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) was used for data collection, and correlation and regression analyses were performed.
RESULTS
The HD and TX transplantation groups showed statistically significant inverse relationships between QoL and DASS scores. HD patients with high anxiety levels and less education scored low on the physical component summary (PCS). In addition, the results of the mental component summary (MCS) were associated with reduced depression. Compared with older transplant patients, TX patients’ PCS scores were lower, and depression, stress, and negative working conditions were highly correlated with MCS scores.
CONCLUSION
The findings of this study revealed notable connections between well-being and mental turmoil experienced by individuals undergoing HD and TX. The PCS of HD patients is affected by heightened levels of anxiety and lower educational attainment, while the MCS of transplant patients is influenced by advancing age and elevated stress levels. These insights will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of patient support.

Published: September 2024

Present study assesses the effectiveness of inclusive education frameworks in supporting slow learners, a student needs extra time and resources to achieve academic success. The objective is to include these students in regular classes to promote fairness and social unity. Qualitative research study supported by six teachers working in primary, elementary, and secondary institutions in Karachi. The data collected provided thematic analysis identifying key challenges, strategies, and impacts in the implementation of inclusive education toward children with learning difficulties. Findings also show that though the models of inclusive education may uplift the slow learners both in academic performance and self-esteem, their effectiveness depends on adequate resources, flexible curriculum, and comprehensive training for teachers. Individual education plans and differentiated instruction are also identified as important. Future research has to be based on longitudinal studies and comparative studies across different cultural contexts of inclusive education models with specific attention to teacher preparation and the perspectives of slow learners.

Published: September 2024

The microtremor HVSR, also known as Nakamura’s approach, is an empirical technique that is becoming more suitable for site response analysis. The main goal of this research is to develop microtremor zonation (microzonation) of the study area to examine the potential risk of blast and other vibration sources, determine the seismic vulnerability indices of the area based on the site response parameters, and develop the distribution of the site response parameters. Surface waves were recorded at 34 locations using a three-component geophone to obtain the microtremor data. According to the site response parameters, the natural peak frequency varied from 2 to 5 Hz, the maximum period was less than 0.5 seconds, and the maximum amplification factor (H/V ratio) was 5.50. Of the 34 locations, 26 recorded low vulnerability indices (Kg) in the range of 0.27 to 4.82 and, thus, classified as Zone 1 materials. This indicates that Kg is typically low throughout the research area, except for a few areas that had extremely high vulnerability. The high vulnerabilities can be attributed to dense, loose soils in the vicinity, which amplify ground vibrations. Since the average natural period is less than 0.5 seconds, a seismic event’s impact would not be felt for a longer time unless it occurred in a region with extremely low frequencies (F0 ≤ 1.0 Hz).

Published: September 2024

eHealth is the leveraging of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in health. Its use in complementing health services has risen substantially in the previous 20 years. The study explored the factors that influence the implementation of eHealth in healthcare delivery in developing countries. Three scientific bibliographical databases: PubMed, EBSCO Host, and Google Scholar were reviewed. Titles and abstracts were assessed using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. An exploratory study was done to assess the factors (facilitators and barriers) influencing the successful implementation of eHealth in developing countries. The searches yielded 11,001 resources, with 33 articles meeting the inclusion criterion of being in English and describing eHealth implementation in developing countries in the period January 2016 to December 2023. These were included in the study and thoroughly analyzed. Some key factors that influence the successful implementation of eHealth services were presented with computer literacy having the highest frequency in eHealth implementation. It is worth noting that barriers are factors that have a negative impact on implementation; nevertheless, by addressing barriers early on, they can be viewed as facilitators.
Deep learning method for finding eigenpairs in Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems
Authors: Zhang Sen , Zu Jian , Zhang Jingqi 
Published: September 2024

Solving the eigenvalue problem for differential equations in inhomogeneous media poses a significant challenge across diverse scientific fields. While classical finite difference methods and finite element methods have produced numerous outcomes, they heavily rely on discretizing the computational domain, which can introduce complexities and limitations. In this study, we present an unsupervised neural network approach tailored for finding eigenpairs in Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems within inhomogeneous media. Our method introduces eigenvalues as trainable parameters, crafts a novel cost function, incorporates an adaptive hyper-parameter tuning strategy, and sequentially trains the eigenpairs. The simplicity, accuracy, and interpretability of our approach significantly expand its applicability across various domains. The method we present in this paper can easily tackle boundary value conditions with derivatives, resulting in orthogonal eigenfunctions. This is a very important advantage of deep learning methods that has not yet been noticed. Quantitative estimation of eigenpairs is given for the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems. Furthermore, we extend the proposed methodology to tackle two-dimensional cases, periodic scenarios, demonstrating its versatility and broad potential.

Technological advancements have increased the forms and types of crimes, including online gender-based violence (GBV). The COVID-19 pandemic has driven Indonesian society to engage in online activities, leading to a 23% increase in internet usage by April 2020, but also triggering a surge in cyberattacks, with 190 million cases recorded during the same period. Cases of online GBV have risen from 281 in 2020 to 1697 in 2023.

This research examines the vulnerability of women to online GBV and the challenges faced by the Gender Justice Advocates Collective (KAKG) in providing legal protection. Factors such as patriarchal culture, lack of digital literacy, objectification of women, and victim-blaming culture exacerbate women's vulnerability. KAKG faces obstacles including limited human resources, insufficient family support, and difficulties in determining the location of crimes.

This study employs a non-doctrinal method, examining the implementation of laws in society. Interview data indicate that the majority of online GBV victims are women, with a significant increase in complaints from 2022 to 2023. The study highlights the importance of digital literacy education and training for law enforcement officers with a victim-centered and gender-equitable perspective to effectively handle online GBV cases.
