Authors: Hammad Mohammad , Al-Sharqawi Subhi , Al-Dajeh Hesham 
Published: July 2024

The study's objectives were to compare and contrast the levels of incorporating 21st -century skills into the music curriculum for the basic educational stage in Jordan and Singapore. The study employed the analytical descriptive approach and the comparison approach as a methodology and it used a content analysis that included 13 skills and 52 indicators for data collection, the general framework and general and specific outcomes of the music education curricula for the first six basic grades in Jordan and Singapore which made up the study sample. The results demonstrated that the general structure and learning objectives of Singapore's music education curriculum were highly inclusive of twenty-first century skills except for the skill of media literacy. Communication skills were given a high degree of inclusion in the Jordanian music education curriculum whereas four other skills had medium levels of inclusion and eight had low levels. Comparisons between the two curricula were made to properly understand the results that led to Singapore's music education curriculum being extremely inclusive of abilities essential to the twenty-first century. The study recommends increasing the inclusion of media literacy skills in the music education curriculum of both countries and increasing the inclusion of critical thinking and problem-solving, innovation, creativity, communication, collaboration, leadership and responsibility, flexibility and adaptability, productivity and accountability, information literacy, information communications and technology literacy, social and cross-cultural, and initiative and self-direction skills in the Jordanian curriculum.

Published: July 2024

A new leadership approach called inclusive leadership has emerged in response to today's crises and disasters used by different organizations. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the effectiveness of inclusive leadership and organizational climate in reducing the widespread prevalence of this symptom among 423 secondary school teachers. Field research data collection was manually analysed using the International Business Machine-Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM-SPSS) with moment structure (AMOS) analysis and Jamovi software. The results of the inclusive leadership study are significantly related to organizational climate. The organizational climate is significantly and inversely related to psychological distress. The relationship between inclusive leadership and psychological distress was found to be positive but not significant. Nevertheless, organizational climate fully mediates the relationship between inclusive leadership and psychological distress. However, organizational climate has partially moderated the relationship between inclusive leadership and psychological distress. The study is beneficial to organizational leaders especially the ministry of education and school principals who face diverse secondary school teachers. Finally, it contributes to the development of leadership, management and psychology.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a significant public health problem globally, and there is evidence to suggest that the prevalence of CKD in sub-Saharan Africa is comparable to elsewhere. For many South African patients who progress to kidney failure (KF), life-sustaining kidney replacement therapy (KRT) is inaccessible due to strict rationing in a resource-limited public healthcare sector, upon which most South Africans are reliant. This shortage brings into focus the need for strategies for delaying CKD progression. This review aims to highlight significant developments in the management of CKD over the last few decades and to discuss these advances within a South African context. That is, to consider the profile of kidney disease locally and issues surrounding access to newer therapeutic agents. We summarise the mechanisms by which the newer therapeutic agents confer renal protection and the major trials supporting their efficacy. Notable advances include newer anti-diabetic agents such as sodium-glucose-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, endothelin-receptor antagonists (ERAs), and nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid antagonists (MRAs). In addition, experimental, targeted therapies in the setting of various glomerular diseases, polycystic kidney disease and APOL-1-mediated kidney disease are briefly discussed. We also highlight several locally relevant advances pertinent to patients on KRT, including newer therapies for managing anaemia in CKD and local experiences with ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation. Although many newer therapies for managing CKD have robust data supporting their use, many barriers exist to implementing them into daily clinical practice.

Key messages

Although there is a significant burden of CKD in South Africa

many patients are unable to access life-sustaining kidney replacement therapy (KRT) due to the strict rationing of dialysis in a resource-limited public healthcare sector.

Newer therapies such as sodium-glucose-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) and endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) delay the progression of CKD, which is crucial in patients with CKD who may not be able to access KRT.

It is therefore paramount that we address the barriers limiting access to these newer therapies.

Published: July 2024

Background: Lymphatic filariasis (LF) drug treatment compliance remains a challenge in Eastern Indonesia.
Aims: The study sought to determine which aspects of Eastern Indonesia's LF drug treatment compliance policies were most pertinent.
Methods: The 2018 Indonesian Basic Health Survey data was employed. The analysis units were adults (â‰¥ 15 years) who had received LF drug treatment. LF drug treatment compliance was analyzed based on respondent characteristics (age, gender, marital status, education, occupation, wealth and comorbidities) using binary logistic regression.
Results: The proportion of adherence to LF treatment in Eastern Indonesia was 73.1%. Respondent characteristics that influenced LF treatment compliance were age group > 24 (aOR = 1.374, 95% CI: 1.305-1.447), female (aOR = 1.307, 95% CI: 1.263-1.353), all educated respondent status (aOR = 2.152, 95% CI: 2.043-2.268), and all employed respondents (aOR = 1.437, 95% CI: 1.365 - 1.512). Married respondents and those with all levels of wealth status were less likely to take LF drug treatment.
Conclusion: Policy focus on improving LF treatment compliance among the younger male, the less educated, the unemployed, and those with lower social economic status.

Published: July 2024

Background: Anti-smoking messages (ASM) is a program designed to educate the public about the dangers of tobacco use, aiming to prevent adolescents and young people from smoking cigarettes in any form and to assist smokers in giving up their smoking habit. On the contrary, pro-smoking messages (PSM) is a marketing technique to promote tobacco products.
Aims: This study was conducted to describe the exposure to ASM and PSM among Indonesian adolescent smokers (IAS).
Methods: This study analyzed secondary data from the 2019 Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) Indonesia. The outcome variable was the respondent's smoking intensity in the last 30 days. The independent variables were the exposure to ASM and PSM in the various below-the-line media.
Results: Most IAS were male (93.4%), mostly in secondary school (60.3%) and spent more than IDR 11,000 per week (71.1%). Adolescent smokers were exposed to ASM at a rate of 92.4%. Furthermore, ASM exposure happened to 60.5% of the low-intensity youth smoker group and 39.5% of the high-intensity youth smoker group. Meanwhile, 93% of adolescent smokers were exposed to PSM, with 40.8% in the high-intensity youth smoker group and 59.2% in the low-intensity youth smoker group.
Conclusion: The exposure to ASM and PSM in the adolescent smoker group was relatively the same.

An individual-based dynamic model to assess interventions in a population of people who inject drugs
Authors: Gallant Kirsten , Lukeman Ryan 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background: Illicit opioid overdose continues to rise in North America and is a leading cause of death. Mathematical modeling is a valuable tool to investigate the epidemiology of this public health issue, as it can characterize key features of population outcomes and quantify the broader effect of structural and interventional changes on overdose mortality.
The aim of this study is to quantify and predict the impact of key harm reduction strategies at differing levels of scale-up on fatal and nonfatal overdose among a population of people who inject drugs (PWID) in Toronto.
Methods: An individual-based model of PWID was built featuring demographic and behavioural variation among members. Key individual attributes known to scale the risk of fatal and nonfatal overdose were identified and incorporated into a dynamic modeling framework, wherein every member of the simulated population encompasses a set of distinct characteristics that govern demographics, intervention usage, and overdose incidence. The model was parametrized to fatal and nonfatal overdose events reported in Toronto in 2019. The interventions considered were opioid agonist therapy (OAT), supervised consumption sites (SCS), take-home naloxone (THN), drug-checking, and reducing fentanyl in the drug supply. Harm reduction scenarios were explored relative to a baseline model to examine the impact of each intervention being scaled from 0% use to 100% use on overdose events.
Results: Model simulations resulted in 3690.6 nonfatal and 295.4 fatal overdoses, coinciding with 2019 data from Toronto. From this baseline, at full scale-up, 290 deaths were averted by THN, 248 from eliminating fentanyl from the drug supply, 124 from SCS use, 173 from OAT, and 100 by drug-checking services. Drug-checking and reducing fentanyl in the drug supply were the only harm reduction strategies that reduced the number of nonfatal overdoses.
Conclusions: Within a multi-faceted harm reduction approach, scaling up take-home naloxone, and reducing fentanyl in the drug supply led to the largest reduction in overdose fatality among PWID in Toronto. Detailed model simulation studies provide an additional tool to assess and inform public health policy on harm reduction.

Abstract

Background Established evidences have demonstrated that hypertension was associated with the cognitive impairment. But the associations between the duration of hypertension exposure and cognitive performance are still inconclusive.
Objectives The objective of this study was to assess the association between the duration of hypertension diagnosis and cognitive performance in older adults by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2011–2014).
Methods To evaluate the relationship between the hypertension duration and cognitive performance, we conducted the logistic regression analysis. Furthermore, we also performed the Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis to assess the nonlinear relationship between the duration of exposure to hypertension and cognitive performance.
Results Initially, total 19,931 participants were included in this study, and 2928 individuals were enrolled. With the increase of hypertension duration, more risk of cognitive impairment was observed in the Digit Symbol Substitution test (DSST) (OR = 1.012, 1.006–1.019), and a similar trend was observed in Animal Fluency test (AFT) (OR=1.009,1.003–1.016). The RCS results showed that the hypertension duration pattern was linear associated with the risk of cognitive impairment in DDST (P for non–linearity = 0.758). Meanwhile, subgroups analysis of midlife hypertension, we revealed that linear association with the risk of cognitive impairment in DSST (P for non–linearity=0.391) and CERAD (P for non–linearity= 0.849) among hypertension diagnose < 55 years populations.
Conclusion Collectively, our finding indicates that longer duration of exposure to hypertension worsens the cognition performance, especially for middle-aged hypertension.

Authors: peng Jingxuan , Li Zhongyi 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Objective: In the study, we preliminary investigated the role of CSF1R molecules on CD8+ T cells in bladder cancer (BLCA) and its molecular mechanism.
Methods: The effect of CSF1R on BLCA cell proliferation，migration and invasion was determined by cell-killing assay and transwell. In vivo experiments, tumor tissues were divided into four portions, one for histological staining, one for flow cytometry detection, one for mRNA gene sequencing analysis, and one for qPCR validation. Information related to 161 bladder cancer patients in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University in the past five years was collected and stained with relevant pathology. By calculating the Jordon index, CSF1R was included in the high expression group by expressing 0.39-fold or more in CD8+ T cells.
Results: Knockdown of CSF1R molecule inhibited bladder cancer proliferation, migration, and invasion, and flow cytometry revealed that it could lead to increased infiltration of immune cells. mRNA sequencing and qPCR results suggested that Ckm was significantly decreased after CSF1R knockdown.
Conclusion:Our study provides novel insights into the roles of CSF1R in BLCA progression and the underlying crosstalk of tumor metabolism and immune microenvironment.

Abstract

Ichthyoplankton monitoring is crucial for stock assessments, offering insights into spawning grounds, stock size, seasons, recruitment, and changes in regional ichthyofauna. This study evaluates the efficiency of multi-marker DNA metabarcoding using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA gene markers, in comparison to morphology-based methods for fish species identification in ichthyoplankton samples. Two transects off the southern coast of Portugal were sampled at different distances from the coast, being each sample divided for molecular and morphological analyses. A total of 76 fish species were identified by both approaches, with DNA metabarcoding overperforming morphology - 75 versus 11 species-level identifications. Linking species-level DNA identifications with higher taxonomic morphological identifications resolved several uncertainties associated with traditional methods. Multi-marker DNA metabarcoding improved fish species detection by 20% to 36% compared to using a single marker/amplicon, and identified 38 species in common, reinforcing the validity of our results. PERMANOVA analysis revealed significant differences in species communities based on the primer set employed, transect location, and distance from the coast. Our findings underscore the potential of DNA metabarcoding to assess ichthyoplankton diversity and suggest that its integration into routine surveys could enhance the accuracy and comprehensiveness of fish stock assessments.
Projector-Camera Calibration with Non-overlapping Fields of View Using a Planar Mirror

Published: July 2024

Abstract

Projector-camera systems have numerous applications across diverse domains. Accurate calibration of both intrinsic and extrinsic parameters is crucial for these systems. Intrinsic parameters include focal length, distortion parameters, and the principal point, while extrinsic parameters encompass the position and orientation of the projector and camera. A non-overlapping projector-camera system is required in certain scenarios due to practical limitations, physical arrangements, or specific application requirements. These systems pose a more complex calibration challenge because the devices have no direct correspondences or overlapping fields of view, necessitating intermediate objects or methods. This paper proposes a calibration method for non-overlapping projector-camera systems using a planar mirror. The method involves a straightforward process that requires a calibrated camera and a separate mirror calibration step. In this setup, the projector displays a pattern on a planar calibration board, and the camera has an indirect view of this calibration board through the mirror. Using homography, 3D-2D correspondences of the projector are established, enabling the calibration of the system. This method is empirically evaluated using real-world setups and quantitatively assessed in a synthetic environment. The results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves precise calibration across various setups, proving its effectiveness. This approach is an easy-to-use and accessible calibration process for non-overlapping projector-camera systems, made possible by a mirror.

Abstract: This study aimed to assess the computation of the Cost of Goods Production for red velvet cakes at the Delicio Balikpapan cake shop, employing both full costing and variable costing approaches to determine the product's selling price. It is a descriptive research using primary and secondary data. Findings revealed an error in Delicio's Cost of Goods Produced calculation. When comparing full costing and variable costing for the red velvet cake, full costing yielded a higher Cost of Goods Produced than the current selling price, whereas the variable costing method indicated a Cost of Goods Produced nearly matching the current selling price. This disparity arises because full costing includes all fixed and variable costs in its calculation.
