Authors: Sohu Adamya , Chaudhary Jyoti 
Published: August 2024

Smartphone usage is still increasing worldwide. Life seems impossible without them as almost all activities are performed through these gadgets. Many studies have demonstrated the pattern of smartphone usage before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in teenagers and students. To observe the smartphone usage pattern and its impact on various aspects of life post-pandemic, an online survey was conducted through a questionnaire covering the demography, pattern of smartphone usage, and impact of smartphones on health, social life, and family life. The results were analysed statistically. A total of 528 responses from people, mostly from north India, with a mean age of 33.60±11.50 years, were collected, and 54.7% were residing in nuclear families. Occupation-wise, the maximum number of participants was professionals (32.4%), followed by 25.2% of students. Many young children (36.3%) also had their own smartphones. People agreed that phone usage caused poor academic performance (59.6%) and obsession with online shopping (44.3 %). Significant association(p<0.05) was observed between smartphone usage and increased BMI, physical symptoms (finger/hand pain, back pain, general fatigue, vertigo, lack of physical activity), and psychological symptoms (craving for phone use, nomophobia, poor quality sleep). Post Covid, smartphone usage increased among all age groups. Overuse of smartphones is a double-edged sword and may cause physical as well as psychological ailments. It is important to raise awareness about the mindful use of smartphones by setting boundaries and finding ways to do that.

Published: August 2024

The pandemic associated with the coronavirus disease hit Bangladesh in the year of early 2020, which was a part of the global pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2. Six vaccines, namely Moderna, Pfizer, Covishield, Sinopharm, Sinovac and Janssen out of the eight vaccines approved by WHO, were received by the Bangladeshi people. A cross-sectional online survey comprising a descriptive questionnaire was carried out to find the effect of Covid vaccine on menstrual cycle. The longer, shorter or absence of menstrual cycles and any changes in menstrual flow were taken under consideration during the survey. The majority of the respondents (82.5%) was of 20-30 years old females. Among the total 309 responders, 210 women experienced vaccine associated side effects while fever was experienced by 36.5%, 19.1% experienced fatigue and 21.4% was reported to suffer from headache. Muscle and joint aches as well as pain, swelling and redness were noted to be 38.5% (most common) and 26.4%, respectively among others. Statistically significant (p<0.01) fluctuation was observed in menstrual cycle although mostly persisting for only one cycle. About 70% of the women noted to have regular menstrual cycle before vaccination, which was decreased to 56% including about 10-14% females experiencing different fluctuation in menstrual flow. Medications taken to alleviate the vaccine-related side effects as well as to regulate normal menstrual cycle were also recorded in the survey. This study attempted to identify the impact of COVID vaccine on menstrual cycle and no significant conclusive negative effect on women's reproductive health was recorded.

Published: August 2024

An altered behavioral pattern is a deliberate fact in diabetic conditions that could be induced due to the consumption of foods rich in fructose content. The objective of this research was to develop a fructose-induced diabetic mice model to determine the behavioral changes. Swiss albino mice were involved in this study as the animal model which was subdivided into three groups (control, test groups 1 and 2). Diabetes was induced in test groups 1 and 2 by introducing 10% and 15% fructose solution orally for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, behavioral tests including hole board test (HBT), tail suspension test (TST), elevated plus maze test (EMT), and forced swim test (FST) were performed to evaluate the behavioral pattern. Findings indicated that test group 1 showed a considerable increase in body weight but only a minor increase in fasting blood glucose (FBG) level than the control group. Neither the behavioral studies for test group 1 stretch any substantial alteration. Whereas test group 2 showed a considerable increase in FBG level and body weight as well as in the behavioral tests. (HBT: 47.87% lower head dipping than the control group; TST: 90.85% higher immobility time than the control group; EMT: 58% lower exploration to open arm than the control group; FST: 38.64% less mobility time than the control group). The findings of the study illustrate that consumption of high concentrations of fructose for long term could have a positive correlation with the induction of type 2 diabetes along with the altered behavioral pattern.

Perkembangan digital yang berangsur-angsur berlangsung di desa menyisahkan pertanyaan besar mengenai bagaimana pemerintahan desa harus berbenah sebagai upaya untuk merepson perubahan tersebut. Di beberapa tahun terakhir ini, pertanyaan serupa hampir terdengar di banyak pertemuan-pertemuan baik yang berlangsung oleh praktisi maupun akademisi. Sayangnya, pertanyaan tersebut hanya berhenti pada debat ruang-ruang formal baik oleh praktisi maupun oleh akademisi. Bagi akademisi, merespon perubahan digital sebatas meributkan ide, namun sangat miskin bayangan imajinatif soal apa yang diributkan benar-benra terjadi dilapangan ataukah tidak. Sekaligus pada sisi yang oleh para praktisi, beribut dalam soal pelaksanaan tetapi sangat miskin dengan konsep sebagai pisau analisis sehingga tidak jarang perdebatan berheti dipersimpangan jalan. Penelitian ini akan berlangsung di desa Kambo di Sulawesi Selatan, menggunakan pendekatan Digital Era Governance (DEG). Dengan argumen, bahwa perubahan digital yang berlangsung diluar arena pemerintahan telah berdampak besar terhadap sistem pemerintahan yang ada di Indonesia khususnya di level terbawah.

Introduction:The infertile patient’s knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) toward embryo transfer may affect treatment outcomes and the mental health of women who underwent in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). This study aimed to investigate the KAP of embryo transfer among women who underwent IVF-ET.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on women who underwent IVF-ET at our Hospital between May 2023 and November 2023, using a self-designed questionnaire.ResultsA total of 614 valid questionnaires were finally included. The mean KAP scores were 19.46 ± 5.06 (possible range: 0 28), 39.41 ± 5.20 (possible range: 12–60), and 48.02 ± 6.75 (possible range: 0–60), respectively. The structural equation model demonstrated that knowledge has a direct effect on attitude (β = 0.27, p &lt; 0.001) and attitude has a direct effect on practice (β = 0.55, p &lt; 0.001) and anxiety (β = 0.59, p &lt; 0.001). Moreover, multivariable linear regression analysis showed that anxiety score [coefficient = 0.09, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.03–0.16, p = 0.003], BMI (coefficient = 0.09, 95%CI: 0.03–0.16, p = 0.003), education (coefficient = 5.65–6.17, 95%CI: 1.09–10.7, p &lt; 0.05), monthly per capita income (coefficient = 1.20–1.96, 95% CI: 0.21–3.07, p = 0.05), reasons for IVF (coefficient = −1.33–1.19, 95% CI: −2.49–0.09, p &lt; 0.05), and more than 5 years of infertility (coefficient = −1.12, 95% CI: −2.11–0.13, p = 0.026) were independently associated with sufficient knowledge. Knowledge (coefficient = 0.19, 95% CI: 0.12–0.26, p &lt; 0.001), anxiety (coefficient = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.34–0.45, p &lt; 0.001), monthly per capita household income &gt;10,000 (coefficient = 1.52, 95% CI: 0.61–2.43, p &lt; 0.001), and three or more cycles of embryo transfer (coefficient = −2.69, 95% CI: −3.94–1.43, p &lt; 0.001) were independently associated with active attitude. Furthermore, attitude (coefficient = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.11–0.30, p &lt; 0.001) and anxiety (coefficient = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.49–0.65, p &lt; 0.001) were independently associated with proactive practice.DiscussionWomen who underwent IVF-ET had inadequate knowledge and negative attitudes but proactive practice toward embryo transfer, which were affected by anxiety, income, and reasons for IVF. It is necessary to strengthen the continuous improvement of patient education to improve the management of embryo transfer.

Published: August 2024

BackgroundTo identify the risk factors for postoperative delirium (POD) after cardiac surgery in frail elderly patients and develop a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) prediction model to confirm the effectiveness.MethodsThis was a prospective observational study, patients were assessed preoperatively according to the frailty index (FI) scale. Cerebral (SctO2) was assessed at different time points using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). On the basis of the occurrence of POD within 7 days after surgery, patients were divided into POD and non-POD groups. Risk factors were analyzed using logistic regression analysis, while their predictive values were evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.ResultsPOD was significantly associated with frailty, lower preoperative MMSE scores, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, lower hemoglobin level, lower albumin level, longer operation time, longer CPB time, lower SctO2 at T5, and lower SctO2baseline (P &lt; 0.05). SrtO2 and SmtO2 did not differ significantly between groups. FI, preoperative MMSE score, and operation time as independent risk factors (P &lt; 0.05). Significant predictive value was demonstrated in all 3 variables (P &lt; 0.001; respectively). Among them, high sensitivity and specificity were observed with the FI (cut-off value 0.27, sensitivity 75%, specificity 73.5%) and operation time (cut-off value 237.5, sensitivity 62.5%, specificity 78.6%).ConclusionsThe FI, preoperative MMSE score, and operation time were independent risk factors for POD in elderly patients after cardiac surgery, with high predictive value observed with the FI and operation time. Cerebral oxygen saturation was associated with POD but was not an independent risk factor.Clinical Trial RegistrationChinese Clinical Trail Registry, No: chictr2200056038.

Published: August 2024

IntroductionThis study investigates the digital citizenship behavior (DCB) and behavioral intention (BI) of faculty members at the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training (PAAET) colleges in Kuwait. The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of technology in teaching and provide a case study of higher educational institutions in Kuwait. The study’s theoretical framework focuses on four key factors: performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), and facilitating conditions (FC), examining their impact on faculty readiness (RED) through the mediation of both BI and DCB. A total of 28 hypotheses were tested, exploring direct and indirect relationships among these variables.MethodsA survey was conducted among 122 faculty members from PAAET colleges in Kuwait. The questionnaire measured the participants’ perceptions of PE, EE, SI, and FC, along with their BI and DCB. The study employed statistical methods to analyze the data and test the 28 hypotheses, aiming to identify significant paths of relationships that contribute to faculty readiness for technology use in education.ResultsThe findings confirmed eight significant paths of relationships, highlighting the importance of inputs such as effort and social influence and their impact on performance as an output in determining faculty readiness. However, the study raised empirical doubts about the remaining 20 hypotheses, providing new evidence that challenges the currently established relationships between technology acceptance and digital citizenship.DiscussionThe study offers valuable insights into the factors influencing the effective use of technology in higher education institutions in Kuwait. It suggests that while some pathways, such as effort and social influence, significantly contribute to faculty readiness, other expected relationships may not hold as previously thought. This new evidence calls for a reevaluation of the existing models of technology acceptance and digital citizenship. The results have important implications for policy and practice, offering guidance on enhancing technology use among faculty members in educational settings. The study contributes to the broader discussion on digital transformation in education, providing a comprehensive understanding of the key factors that affect faculty readiness for adopting new technologies.
