Published: August 2024

В статье представлены данные о научном исследовании, проведенном с целью изучения спектра грибов-возбудителей отомикоза у пациентов с сахарным диабетом в Азербайджане и их чувствительности к наиболее распростаненным противогрибковым препаратам. В исследование было включено 43 пациента с сахарным диабетом с микроскопически подтверждённым диагнозом отомикоза. Возраст 42-81 год. Среди них мужчин — 28, женщин — 15 человек. Выделение культур осуществлялось путем посева патологического материала на элективные среды. Затем полученные культуры исследовались на предмет чувствительности к противогрибковым препаратам методом стандартизованных дисков. Исследование показало, что наиболее часто встречающимися у этой группы пациентов были Candida spp. (46,5%) и Aspergillus spp. (37,2%). Чаще всего культуры были чувствительны к клотримазолу (28%), а наибольшую резистентность проявляли к амфотерицину (5%) и флюконазолу (10%).

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi literatur untuk menganalisis penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya yang relevan dengan masalah yang dibahas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ancaman NTS semakin meningkat di kawasan Asia Pasifik. Ancaman NTS dapat mengganggu stabilitas keamanan dan pembangunan di kawasan ini. Indonesia juga rentan terhadap ancaman NTS, terutama ancaman terorisme siber, kejahatan transnasional terorganisir, dan bencana alam. Untuk mengatasi tantangan keamanan NTS, Indonesia perlu meningkatkan kapasitas pertahanan siber, memperkuat kerja sama internasional, dan meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat tentang pentingnya keamanan NTS.

Abstract: Non-traditional security (NTS) poses a significant threat to countries in the Asia-Pacific region, including Indonesia. NTS threats encompass a range of potential dangers, including terrorism, transnational organized crime, natural catastrophes, climate change, and other similar risks. NTS threats frequently exhibit asymmetry, meaning they involve non-state entities who possess restricted resources. This study uses a method of literature study to analyze previous research that is relevant to the problem discussed. Research results show that NTS threats are rising in the Asia-Pacific region. NTS threats could disrupt security stability and development in the region. Indonesia is also vulnerable to NTS threats, especially the threat of cyber terrorism, transnational organized crime, and natural disasters. To address the NTS security challenges, Indonesia needs to enhance its cyber defense capabilities, strengthen international cooperation, and raise public awareness of the importance of NTS safety.

Published: August 2024

Abstrak: Dengan pesatnya pertumbuhan Malaysia sebagai negara berkembang, urbanisasi dan perluasan pertanian telah menjadi elemen kunci yang berkontribusi signifikan terhadap penggundulan hutan dan alih fungsi lahan di wilayah tersebut. Akibatnya, banyak dampak dari penyebab ini muncul dengan cepat dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, seperti erosi tanah dan perubahan iklim. Untuk mengatasi masalah lingkungan ini secara komprehensif, reboisasi, keterlibatan organisasi nonpemerintah dalam masalah ini, dan promosi skema sertifikasi oleh pemerintah Malaysia dapat dilihat sebagai strategi mitigasi.

Abstract: This paper discusses the issue of deforestation and land conversion and the challenges that arise in Malaysia. With the rapid growth of Malaysia as a developing country, urbanisation and agricultural expansion have been the key elements that significantly contribute to deforestation and land conversion in the region. As a result, many effects of this cause have been quickly emerging in recent years, such as soil erosion and climate change. In order to comprehensively overcome this environmental problem, reforestation, involvement of non-governmental organisations in this issue and promotion of certification schemes by the Malaysian government can be seen as mitigation strategies.

Self-awareness is the first step to personality development and in overcoming personality defects. One key developmental task that helps in the formation of self-awareness during adolescence is the relationship formation with significant others. However, daily forms of human relationships are becoming negatively impacted by changes in culture, parenting styles, globalization, new technologies and institutional changes with consequences in changing family structures, socialization and relations. This study, therefore, endeavours to assess self-awareness on relationship formation among students in public secondary schools in Murang’a County, Kenya. Descriptive surveys and phenomenological designs were triangulated to provide a cohesive perspective. A mixed methodology paradigm in which qualitative and quantitative data were simultaneously collected was adopted. The target population was 101926 students, 2236 peer counsellors and 292 guidance and counselling teachers. Both random and purposive sampling techniques were used to select the research sample. The sample size was 431 participants consisting of 400 students, 21 peer counsellors and 10 guidance and counselling teachers. The data was collected using questionnaires, interview schedules and focused group discussion guides. Quantitative data was computed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 and results were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Qualitative data was analyzed thematically and presented in narrative forms. Results showed a statistically significant positive relationship between self-awareness and relationship formation among secondary school students in Murang’a County. The study recommended that the Kenyan government through the Ministry of Education should revise the curriculum to offer compulsory life skills and competencies like self-awareness and interpersonal skills at all levels of education.

Published: August 2024

This study investigated the awareness and implementation of school re-entry policy in primary schools within the Kuria East Sub-County, located in Migori County, Kenya. School Re-entry policies are crucial in facilitating the smooth return of learners, particularly girls, who drop out of school due to various reasons such as pregnancy or early marriage. The study employed a quantitative approach to gather comprehensive data. Data was collected through structured questionnaires distributed among learners. These questionnaires aimed to assess the level of awareness of existing school re-entry policy among learners and to gauge the extent to which these policies were implemented in practice. Findings from the study reveal varying levels of awareness among learners regarding school re-entry policy, with some demonstrating limited understanding of the provisions and procedures outlined in these policies. Moreover, while there is recognition of the importance of school re-entry policies in promoting educational equity and inclusion, the actual implementation faced numerous challenges. These challenges included societal attitudes towards school dropouts as a result of various factors not limited to early pregnancies and marriages, and gaps in coordination between schools, communities, and government agencies. The study also highlighted promising practices and innovative approaches adopted by some schools and community organizations to support school re-entry and retention of learners who have dropped out. These include the establishment of financial support, mentorship programs, and advocacy initiatives aimed at changing community perceptions and attitudes towards education, particularly for girls/boys. The findings underscored the need for concerted efforts by education stakeholders, government agencies, and community organizations to enhance awareness and implementation of the school re-entry policy in primary schools. Addressing the identified challenges and building upon successful practices can contribute to creating a more supportive educational environment for all learners in Kuria East Sub-County and similar contexts across Kenya. The study recommended enhanced training and sensitization programmes, community engagement, policy monitoring and evaluation among others, the school re-entry policy can be more effectively implemented, thereby enhancing educational opportunities for learners in Kuria East Sub County

Knowledge Acquisition and Retention in a Flipped Nursing Course: A Quasiexperimental Study
Authors: NG Emily Ka Lai 
Published: August 2024

Background:
Student knowledge acquisition and retention are essential in nursing training. This study examined differences in content knowledge acquisition and retention between traditional and flipped classroom (FC) formats.

Method:

A pretest-posttest quasiexperimental design with a follow-up test was used for this study of associate degree nursing students in a Hong Kong community college. The control group (
n
= 141) included nursing students in a traditional classroom (TC) setting before COVID-19 compared with nursing students in an FC (
n
= 130) setting during the pandemic. The effects were evaluated before the course, postcourse, and 3 months after the course.

Results:
Content knowledge scores for both groups improved after the course. Students in the FC performed better in the short-term (posttest immediately after the course) and long-term (follow-up-test 3 months later) than students in the TC.

Conclusion:

Implementing the FC method effectively promoted students' knowledge acquisition and retention.

Utilizing Artificial Intelligence–Based Tools for Addressing Clinical Queries: ChatGPT Versus Google Gemini
Authors: Labrague Leodoro J. 
Published: August 2024

Background:
Artificial intelligence (AI)–based text generators, such as ChatGPT (OpenAI) and Google Bard (now Google Gemini), have demonstrated proficiency in predicting words and providing responses to various questions. However, their performance in answering clinical queries has not been well assessed. This comparative analysis aimed to assess the capabilities of ChatGPT and Google Gemini in addressing clinical questions.

Method:
Separate interactions with ChatGPT and Google Gemini were conducted to obtain responses to the clinical question, posed in a PICOT (patient, intervention, comparison, outcome, time) format. To ascertain the accuracy of the information provided by the AI chat bots, a thorough examination of full-text articles was conducted.

Results:
Although ChatGPT exhibited relative accuracy in generating bibliographic information, it displayed some inconsistencies in clinical content. Conversely, Google Gemini generated citations and summaries that were entirely fabricated.

Conclusion:

Despite generating responses that may appear credible, both AI-based tools exhibited factual inaccuracies, raising substantial concerns about their reliability as potential sources of clinical information.

Authors: Mingo Sharon Rose , Fitch Olivia , Tierney Lindsay , Nesbitt Debora 
Published: August 2024

Background:
Academic support services can improve undergraduate and graduate nursing program outcomes such as program completion and passing the NCLEX. Academic success coaching complements traditional support strategies by providing study skills and time management tools, promoting goal setting and self-efficacy, and referring students to support resources. This review examined interventions that academic success coaches use to improve student success and retention, licensing examination pass rates, and academic success.

Method:
A scoping literature review identified types of interventions that resulted in significant improvement in student academic and holistic success.

Results:
Four classes of interventions were identified as effective in supporting student success: (1) academic support; (2) social and emotional support; (3) clinical guidance; and (4) course and program design.

Conclusion:

Academic coaches are educated to identify student needs, provide support, and refer students to resources to improve academic outcomes. Future research should evaluate the need for academic success coaches to promote academic nursing student success.
