Published: July 2024

Background and Purpose: The quality of interactions between service providers (employees) and patients in the course of providing everyday services may have a major impact on patient attitudes, according to a thorough evaluation of several recent quality management studies released in the 21st century. The relationship has been extensively studied in public and private healthcare organizations, but little is known about the role of interactional quality as a key antecedent in army hospitals. The purpose of this study is to investigate the connection between patient attitudes and interactional quality.

Methodology: The study adopted a cross-sectional research design, with 212 self-administered questionnaires collected from patients in an army hospital in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, using a purposive sampling technique. The SmartPLS was used to evaluate the measurement model and to test the structural model.

Findings: According to the findings of structural equation modelling, interactional quality attributes, namely responsiveness, assurance, and empathy were significant predictors of patient attitudes such as satisfaction and loyalty.

Contributions: To sustain and improve the service performance of the organisational sample, this study offers crucial advice, that is quality of interaction between employees and patients is built according to responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The competence of employees to practice this interaction in delivering daily services can enhance patients’ satisfaction and loyalty. Practitioners may utilize to comprehend various perspectives on interactional quality. These recommendations can also be used to improve patient relationship management programmes.

Keywords: Interactional quality, patient satisfaction, patient loyalty, army hospital.

Online Communication. From Advantages to Online School
Authors: Creţu Ioana-Narcisa 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Online communication remains today predominant in influencing members of society through the use of new technical ways of communication. Traditional communication is thus being replaced by new ways. The media plays a huge role in disseminating information. According to Trappel, online media is a stand-alone genre. They meet first of all the defining characteristics of the media: they are public (they can be accessed by anyone), they are technically transmitted, they are addressed to a wide audience, they are characterized by periodicity and they relate to reality. On top of that, online media also have their own characteristics: they are multimedia (exceeding the limits imposed on print or classic media), they are digital (and therefore can be processed and dispersed) and they are interactive (they allow direct feedback). Especially the hypermedia possibilities of the internet bring an enormous flexibility in the creation and transmission of information. The period marked by the pandemic brought online communication to its peak. However the online press must maintain a vital role in raising awareness of the masses in order to counteract the harmful effects of communication manipulation. The benefits of online communication must lead to an increase in the level of training of users, both in terms of media education and in terms of online education. Certainly, the online school will remain in the future, not only as an alternative, but also as an independent component of education.

Abstract
This paper examines the issue of trauma in terms of journalistic work. Our research methods are the questionnaire, the two focus groups, and the interview with a psychologist. This work identify the characteristics that journalists acquire in the face of critical situations, the defense mechanisms assimilated following exposure to traumatic experiences, the importance of trauma training for both experienced and aspiring journalists. The results of our research indicate that journalists have not received any training in journalism schools or newsrooms for the trauma they have been exposed to. They also felt professional, relational, and psychological risk factors. As for the protective factors, the journalists relied on family and friends. None of them received specialized help from a psychologist.

Authors: Rainer Jakub , Myszor Mariusz 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The methods for modeling rigid inclusion ground improvements are well documented in the literature, yet their application to large-scale geotechnical simulations remains underanalyzed. Due to the large number of discretization elements/nodes used in such simulation, certain simplifications are necessary. This paper presents methods for modeling rigid inclusion ground improvements in large-scale geotechnical simulations. The methodologies involve modeling the inclusions using continuum elements, beam elements or replacing them with an equivalent medium through homogenization techniques. The advantages and drawbacks of each method are discussed, particularly regarding their applicability to analyses covering significant areas. In the second part of the paper, a case study of the foundation of the conduit pipe in the dam of Szalejów Górny dry antiflood reservoir in Poland is simulated using two of the considered methods. The obtained results are compared and discussed.

Published: July 2024

In previous years, most regions of the Middle East suffered from frequent dust storms, Iraq at the top of that where Iraq was classified as the fifth most vulnerable country to climate change according to the Paris Climate Agreement; the frequent dust storms are considered the most prominent effects of climate change, which are a result of lack of rain and drought, and thus desertification and desertification. The storms appear when the winds blow. This research reviews using of space data, MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, satellite images), and its two platforms, Terra and Aqua, to monitor storms movement and determine the starting point source using the PCA (Principal Component Analysis algorithm) in ENVI and sub-software MATLAB for (MOD09GA) and (MYD09GA) that represents the reflectivity daily monitoring, the first layer from HDF file of MODIS data red band, 620-670 nm, was used. The period was studied in research in May of 2022 with the kernel of PCA containing five bands represented by the day of the storm and two days before and after the storm for the study area located Coordinates: 35.0468, 43.0305. The results determined that the source of dust storms are cross-border storms that are not local in origin; the estimated area of the storm that covered large regions of Iraq by (351353.45) km2 for 2022-5-5, (308024.9.km2) for the day 2022-5-16 and with an estimated area (326933.35 km2) for the day 2022-5-23.
Retornos maravillosos. Lecturas de Wifredo Lam en Lydia Cabrera, Alejo Carpentier y Aimé Césaire
Authors: Seligmann Katerina Gonzalez 
Published: July 2024

Cuban painter Wifredo Lam (1909-1982) returned to the Caribbean in 1941 after spending eighteen years in Spain and France. In the following four years his painting practice transformed, generating the iconic imagery that he would become known for inventing. His return from Europe figures prominently in essays that Lydia Cabrera, Alejo Carpentier, and Aimé Césaire wrote about him soon after his 1943 completion of La jungla, his most famous painting. These Caribbean writers had close relationships of friendship and collaboration with Lam, and while their essays have become important sources for Lam criticism, they rarely receive critical analysis. In my analysis, I am interested in how they illuminate the role of return in shaping the dichotomy that Alejo Carpentier went on to establish between surrealism and the Americas-located aesthetic he dubbed “lo real maravilloso.” For Carpentier, the aesthetic of the marvelous that the surrealists sought to render emanated readily from social reality in the Americas. I understand this idea to be predicated upon his own return from Europe, and I argue that his earlier work on Lam, alongside Cabrera’s and Césaire’s, offers coordinates for a theory of return, from Europe and surrealism, through which to understand the real-marvelous aesthetic in Lam.
Etica, asesoría económica y política económica
Authors: Stiglitz Joseph E. 
Published: July 2024

La ética en el marco de la relación entre países de mayor y menor nivel de desarrollo impone que los países más desarrollados traten a los de menor desarrollo en forma equitativa, conscientes de la situación de desventaja en lo económico en que se encuentran los segundos, y con el reconocimiento de que aprovecharse del propio poder económico inevitablemente lesionará a los pobres en los países en vía de desarrollo. En diversas ocasiones hemos visto un marcado incumplimiento de este precepto en las relaciones económicas globales: una agenda de comercio internacional establecida con miras a promover los intereses de los países más desarrollados, por lo menos parcialmente

Published: July 2024

Objetivo: Analisar a efetividade da utilização do suvorexante na prevenção do delirium em pacientes críticos. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa realizado a partir da busca de artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos nas principais bases de dados eletrônicas, PUBMED, SCIELO e Web of Science. Resultados: A busca resultou em seis trabalhos que convergiram para a efetividade do uso do suvorexante na prevenção do delirium em pacientes gravemente enfermos. Nenhum efeito adverso foi encontrado. Observou uma variação 15 a 20 mg na dose administrada de suvorexante para a prevenção do delirium. Os principais fatores de risco para o delirium relacionados a pacientes na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) foram: maior idade, maior score de fragilidade, menor Índice de Massa Corporal, maior demência, maior escore de APACHE II, aumento do uso de ventilador e distúrbios do sono. Foram encontrados também a associação da utilização de suvorexante com a utilização de ventilação mecânica, mortalidade, coadministração de fármacos, como a trazodona. Considerações finais: O suvorexante pode ser bastante efetivo para o tratamento do delirium em pacientes gravemente enfermos, principalmente, ao considerar os leves ou ausentes efeitos adversos comparados àqueles apresentados pelos antipsicóticos amplamente utilizados para o controle do delirium.
Understanding the essentials of photodynamic therapy for dental practitioners: Shining a spotlight
Authors: Srivastava Prateek , Sinha Shruti , Chandra Sunira , Singh Siddharth Kumar 
Published: July 2024

Background:
Oral disorders, including tooth decay, periodontal disease, and endodontic infections, are prevalent worldwide. The escalating issue of antibiotic resistance exacerbates the need for alternative treatment modalities.

Aim:
This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of advancements in photodynamic therapy (PDT) for dental applications, highlighting its potential as a non-invasive local and adjuvant therapy for various oral infectious disorders. PDT, which originated in the early 20th century, involves three primary components: A photosensitizer (PS), light, and oxygen. The PS selectively targets unwanted eukaryotic cells, such as tumors in the oral cavity, or pathogenic microorganisms, while sparing healthy cells. The efficacy of PDT is significantly influenced by the type of PS utilized.

Method:
An electronic search was conducted using the PubMed database focusing on peer-reviewed articles up to November 2023 using the keywords “photodynamic therapy,” “photochemotherapy,” “antimicrobial photodynamic therapy,” “antimicrobial photodynamic therapy oral,” resulting in 2341, 1034, 389, 221, and 96 items, respectively. After appropriate review, relevant data from other electronic sources are also included for additional information.

Results:
Historical and recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of porphyrin PSs and temoporfin in treating premalignant and malignant intraoral lesions, particularly as palliative treatments when conventional therapies have failed. In addition, phenothiazinium PSs, such as methylene blue and toluidine blue, have shown substantial antimicrobial activity against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. PDT has been applied successfully to treat specific oral conditions, including caries, endodontic and mucosal infections, periodontal disorders, and periimplantitis. Notably, its antibacterial properties suggest that PDT could reduce the dependency on systemic antibiotics.

Conclusion:
PDT emerges as a promising alternative to conventional treatments for oral infections, offering a potential solution to the global challenge of antibiotic resistance. Continued research and development are essential to enhance the effectiveness and broaden the application of PDT in dental care.
Recurrence rates after functional surgery versus amputation for nail squamous cell carcinoma not involving the bone: A systematic review
Authors: Wong Hoi-Shiwn , Li Fang , Jiang Jia-Yi , Huang Shu-dai , Ji Xiang , Zhu Ping , Wang Da-Guang 
Published: July 2024

Background
Nail unit squamous cell carcinoma (nSCC) is a malignant subungual tumour. Although it has a low risk of metastasis and mortality, the tumour has a significant local recurrence rate. There is insufficient data to determine whether functional surgery is less effective than amputation for nSCC that does not involve the bone.

Objectives
We aimed to investigate existing data on the outcomes of functional surgery and amputation for nSCC without bone invasion.

Materials and Methods
We carried out an extensive search in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus for appropriate English-language academic papers, starting with the creation of individual resources until February 23, 2023. The main outcome was local recurrence. Initially, 2191 studies related to nSCC were selected. Information from every research study was retrieved and subdivided, comprising the year of publication, period, number of patients, age, gender distribution, tumour stage, type of intervention, number of recurrences, and follow-up period.

Results
Ten independent studies (319 lesions) were finally selected. Mohs micrographic surgery was the most reported surgical modality, followed by wide surgical excision and amputation. Local recurrence rates between Mohs micrographic surgery, wide surgical excision and amputation treatment were nearly identical. Other surgical methods included limited surgical excision, partial ablation, and limited excision until the clearing of margins, with recurrence rates up to 50%.

Conclusions
Given the functional impairment and psychological distress associated with phalanx amputation, functional surgery, including Mohs micrographic surgery and wide surgical excision , should be the preferred therapy for nSCC without bone involvement. Amputation should remain the preferred therapy for nSCC that involves the bone. Partial excision should be avoided. Further studies on whether Mohs micrographic surgery or wide surgical excision is a better option for nSCC not involving the bone are required.

Authors: Dupri  , Suherman Adang , Budiana Dian , Juliantine Tite 
Published: July 2024

Background: Modern developments require Generation Z to be able to face future challenges that cannot be predicted. Research Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate how thinking styles and gender can develop creative thinking skills in students when learning physical education and also to investigate the interaction between thinking style and gender on creative thinking skills. Methods: This study used a non-experimental design. Thinking style is measured by learning and thinking style tests (SOLAT), and creative thinking skills are measured by the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT), which consists of four indicators: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The sampling technique in this study was cluster random sampling. The random process is carried out in two stages: the first is random selection by randomly selecting, and the second is the second is random assignment. The sample for this research was 68, consisting of 33 men and 35 women. Meanwhile, the analysis was done by looking at n-gain and continuing with the ANOVA test. Findings/Results: The results of this study indicate that thinking styles and gender significantly impact students' creative thinking ability, and there is also an interaction between thinking styles and types that significantly affects students' creative thinking ability. The analysis of the data obtained found a significant relationship between gender and students' creative thinking skills in physical education. Conclusion: Male students have better creative thinking skills than female students because they tend to use the right brain to develop their thinking skills. In developing creative thinking skills, grouping based on gender is necessary. Future research needs to be conducted by considering the right learning model for developing creative thinking skills during physical education learning.
