Authors: Areces Graciela , Frasco Zuker Laura , Manjarín Ezequiel , Blanco Melisa , Dihel Hilen 
Published: January 2025

El presente trabajo reflexiona sobre los hábitos de estudios y los múltiples factores que inciden en estos en estudiantes de la carrera de Licenciatura en Nutrición en el marco de la asignatura Anatomía. Se llevó a cabo un cuestionario online de manera anónima y voluntaria. El mismo buscó indagar acerca de lugares de estudio, planificación y métodos, entre otros temas. De las 199 respuestas, los resultados muestran que el 80% menciona al celular como un dispositivo distractor y más de la mitad destacó que estudia en un ambiente con contaminación sonora. Además, el 63% refirió no planificar el estudio. Como conclusión principal podemos decir que, lograr una planificación para el estudio de la asignatura debe contemplar no solo el material y las horas de estudio extraescolar sino también el aprovechamiento de las horas de clase y la utilización de estrategias facilitadoras que incluyan recursos audiovisuales.
Putting the prime in priming: Using prime processing behavior to predict target structural processing
Authors: Tooley Kristen M. , Brehm Laurel 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Structural priming effects are widespread and heavily relied upon to assess structural representation and processing. Whether these effects are caused by error-driven implicit learning, residual activation, a combination of these, or some other learning mechanism remains to be established. The current study used preexisting data and a novel data analysis approach that links processing at the prime to later processing at the target to better understand the nature of structural priming. This novel analytic approach was applied to total reading times from a previously published structural priming study in comprehension, which provided processing measures of the structurally critical regions of prime reduced-relative clause sentences. These were then used as predictors in a series of hierarchical linear models where analogous processing measures at the target sentence regions served as outcome variables. Separate sets of models were run for prime–target pairs that had the same structure (i.e., abstract priming) and those that had the same structure and initial verb (i.e., a lexical boost). Prime-to-target processing relationships were observed for both types of prime–target pairs, but showed very different patterns. This provides support for the claim that abstract priming effects and the lexical boost are caused by different mechanisms. Additionally, the observed effects were positive and so do not support the error-driven learning prediction that processing difficulty at the prime should lead to greater facilitation at the target. Overall, this novel method provides a new tool for investigating structural priming and processing.
Alimentation à base d’insectes en France : un « non-problème » public ?
Authors: Trzmielewski Marcin 
Published: January 2025

L’objectif de cet article est de montrer que le développement de la filière d’alimentation à base d’insectes n’est pas un « problème public » (Neveu, 2015). Des analyses des corpus de données portant sur la médiatisation du sujet dans la presse généraliste française (1997-2023) et les pratiques informationnelles des acteurs travaillant dans la filière (conduits en 2023) mettent en évidence le déficit d’information. Celui-ci révèle les différentes logiques et stratégies info-communicationnelles présentes dans la sphère médiatique et professionnelle : la faible publicisation du sujet et l’invisibilisation des risques et des controverses, ainsi que le manque de données spécialisées, qui contribuent de manière concertée à la construction d’un « non-problème » (Henry, 2021)

Authors: Bobby Z. , Muthukathan R. , Zayapragassarazan Z. 
Published: January 2025

Background: During COVID-19 pandemic, online written theory exams were found to be essential for internal assessments. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of online exams on the following: (i) ability to motivate students to study for their upcoming summative exams, (ii) adoption of online mode of assessment by the students and (iii) educational outcomes with respect to the confidence that may be attached to the judgements. Methods: We conducted online assessments for two batches of postgraduate Medical Biochemistry students: nine second-year and eight third-year Master of Science (M.Sc.) students of our institute. Online feedback forms were administered to the students and the teachers after declaring the exam results. Results: The teachers were not fully convinced about the usefulness of online assessments. The teachers strongly prefer tests under supervision and were of the opinion that malpractices can be reduced by questions from higher levels of cognition during the online assessments. The students found online assessments highly useful in their learning process. The adoption of online assessment by the students and its impact on the educational outcomes were found to be inferior to the conventional exams. The scores of the students in online exams were comparable with their previous in-class internal assessment scores as well as with their scores in the final university exams. Conclusion: It is suggested that online assessment is a suitable tool for promoting the learning process. It can also serve as an effective tool for summative assessments; although its educational outcome and the readiness to adopt are inferior to conventional exams.

Purpose: Analogy are visually similar images that can help medical students integrate novel information with prior facts to enhance comprehension and strengthen inferences. The current study explores the student feedback regarding using analogies in teaching physiology. Methodology: During didactic lectures in Physiology a series of analogies were presented in 2 systems that is cardiovascular system including autonomic nervous system and gastro intestinal physiology. Anonymous feedback was collected form the first year MBBS students regarding the significance of the analogies utilized as educational aid during the didactic lectures. Results: 95.9% of the medical students reported that analogies played a crucial role in explaining the concepts. 90.7% of the respondents believed that using analogies in understanding the physiological concepts. 92.3% of the respondents felt that analogies enhanced the student-teacher interaction in the didactic lectures. Conclusion: In conclusion, the use of analogies incites student's interest in learning physiology and deepens their understanding of the concepts.
1 Thessalonians 4:13 and grief management in Nigerian churches
Authors: Ademiluka Solomon O. 
Published: January 2025

1 Thessalonians 4:13 indicates that the Thessalonian Christians were deeply grieved about the death of their loved ones because they were not sure of the status of the deceased in the supposedly imminent parousia. Paul admonishes them not to grieve like those who have no hope, a caution which is highly relevant in Nigeria where death causes harrowing grief for those bereaved. This article interrogated the extent to which the application of this text relieves grief for Nigerian Christians, as well as its attendant impact on the people’s culture. The article employs the historical-critical exegesis and the phenomenological approach. It found that in the traditional African setting, the grieving process involved the performance of certain rituals which Christianity has condemned as heathen, as they contradict the injunction in 1 Thessalonians 4:13. Such mourning practices have been substituted with Christian models. Still, unfortunately, apart from being ineffective in addressing grief, this pastoral approach has impacted negatively on the cultural heritage and identity of Nigerian Christians. Therefore, for Christian burial in Nigeria to be desirable and effective in addressing mourners’ grief, there is a need for it to accommodate traditional practices as much as possible.Contribution: The article contributes to the interaction of Christianity with African culture. It argues that, for a Christian burial to be effective in addressing grief in Nigeria, there is a need for interaction with traditional mourning practices.

Authors: Smit Carla A. , Marais Belinda S. 
Published: January 2025

Background: Good mental health literacy (MHL) has proven to aid in providing adequate and timely care, promote positive attitudes towards mental health and assist in the integration of mental healthcare with other services. Studies have shown that enhancing the MHL of healthcare workers (HCWs) can help alleviate the burden of mental illness.Aim: The study aims to explore the MHL of HCWs at a tertiary hospital in Johannesburg.Setting: The study was conducted at Helen Joseph Hospital.Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study via a self-administered questionnaire consisting of: (1) a demographic, work and exposure to mental illness and mental healthcare services questionnaire and (2) the Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS) was employed. The MHLS identifies people with low MHL who could benefit from further interventions.Results: Two hundred and fifty-two HCWs participated in the study. The overall median MHLS score was 129, in keeping with a previous study conducted in SA and Zambia. Younger HCWs with less than 5 years of experience scored higher. Among the various professions, doctors scored highest and nurses lowest. The anaesthetic and psychiatric departments obtained the highest MHLS scores. Personal exposure to mental illness and mental health services was associated with higher MHLS scores.Conclusion: This study highlighted areas where mental health awareness and education are lacking, which are crucial for improving MHL. Targeted interventions to fill these identified gaps are therefore recommended.Contribution: To our knowledge, this was the first South African study to assess MHL among tertiary-level HCWs across various professions.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Introduction:
Globally, in the age group of 5–17 years, about 10% of schoolchildren are overweight or obese. According to an Indian study among 12–16-year-olds, the overall prevalence of overweight and obesity was 10.8% and 6.2%, respectively. Childhood and adolescent obesity may lead to emotional and behavioral problems, poor socialization, and stigmatization. With this study, we aimed to describe the emotional and behavioral patterns in overweight and obese school-going adolescents.

Materials and Methods:
Overweight and obese schoolchildren between 10 and 15 years of age were included and administered the self-reported version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Behavioral patterns across emotional, conduct, hyperactivity, peer relationship problems, and pro-social behavior were assessed, and a “total difficulty score” was noted.

Results:
Out of 260 overweight and obese children included in our study, 131 (50%) were males, 129 (50%) were females, 85 (33%) were overweight, and 175 (67%) were obese. The SDQ showed an abnormal score in about 19% of children with respect to the emotional component, 22% of children in the category of conduct problems, 3% and 9% of children, respectively, in hyperactivity and peer relationship problems, and 9% of children with respect to pro-social behavior patterns; however, these were not statistically significant. Around 13% of the children in our study had an abnormal “total difficulty score” on the SDQ; however, this was not statistically significant (P = 0.47). The proportion of abnormal scores was higher among obese children than the overweight ones in our study, though statistically not significant.

Conclusions:
Overweight and obese children have a high likelihood of developing behavioral problems. Understanding this association may help in the development of comprehensive programs and interventions to promote physical and mental well-being in adolescents.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Introduction:
Imposter syndrome has increasingly become a subject of concern in the mental health of medical students. It is very problematic as it can lead to high levels of stress and burnout among them. This study aimed in determining the magnitude of imposter syndrome among medical students in a medical college of West Bengal and its associates.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional study was conducted among 104 undergraduate medical students in a medical college of West Bengal. Imposter syndrome was assessed using the Harvey Imposter Phenomenon Scale (HIPS). Perceived stress and coping ability were also assessed using a predesigned validated questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Pearson correlation test was done to find the relationship between imposter syndrome with perceived stress and coping ability.

Results:
The median age of study participants was 22 years (interquartile range = 21–23); 48.1% were males. The mean HIPS score was 34.96 ± 8.97, and 19.2% (n = 20) had significant imposter feelings. Imposter scores showed a significant weak positive correlation with perceived stress scores (r = 0.37, P < 0.001) while coping ability showed a protective effect against imposter syndrome (r =−0.301, P = 0.002).

Conclusion:
Awareness campaigns at the various medical institutions along with face-to-face counseling with trained psychologists for those with symptoms suggestive of imposter syndrome will help in improving the mental well-being of medical students.

Authors: Gore Alka Dilip , Dhobale Randhir V. , Waghachavare Vivek B. , Dhumale Girish B. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background and Objectives:
Individual happiness and well-being are the most essential components of quality of life. For the last few years, the United Nations General Assembly has annually published the World Happiness Report, and the ranking of India has repeatedly fallen to an alarming level where the country’s position remains below 100 nations in these surveys. Hence, this study was carried out to uncover the associated sociodemographic and lifestyle-related factors for happiness and well-being in the general population of Sangli district, Western Maharashtra, India.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire among willing adults in the Sangli district. Section A regarding the sociodemographic data; Section B is the evaluation of lifestyle-related factors; and Section C contains a 29-item Oxford Happiness Questionnaire scale for assessing personal happiness. Microsoft Office 365 and SPSS-22 software were used to analyze data.

Results:
Out of the 679 participants, 61.9% of 420 people were not happy or somewhat unhappy, 34% were satisfied, and only 4.1% were happy. Participants were significantly unhappy despite having reliable and trustworthy friends and even after taking a complete rest.
Multivariate analysis showed age, per capita income, occupation, and education are significant predictors of the happiness index score.

Interpretation and Conclusion:
People did not experience happiness after several favorable situations. Happiness is complex and subjective; it is very challenging to capture fully with a single index or questionnaire.
Comparison between sulcus-implanted three-piece hydrophobic intraocular lens and bagal-implanted single-piece intraocular lens in combined diabetic phacoemulsification and pars plana vitrectomy
Authors: Shousha Mohsen Abou , Said Mohamed H. 
Published: January 2025

Background
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus. In advanced stages of DR, vitreoretinal surgery frequently becomes necessary to preserve or restore vision. Patients with vitreoretinal diseases often present with preexisting lens opacification. In addition, cataract formation is a common complication of pars plana vitrectomy. Thus, combining vitrectomy with cataract removal has recently become a common practice. Still, limited studies exist on the efficacy of placing the intraocular lens (IOL) in the ciliary sulcus and its potential to reduce the complications associated with the IOL implanted in the bag.

Objective
The current study aimed to compare the sulcus-implanted three-piece hydrophobic IOL and the bagal-implanted single-piece hydrophobic IOL in combined diabetic phacoemulsification with pars plana vitrectomy in diabetic eyes.

Patients and methods
This is a prospective interventional comparative study of the eyes for which phaco-vitrectomy was performed for the complications of DR. The eyes were equally randomized according to the indication for surgery and the severity of the disease into two groups, group 1: phaco-vitrectomy with hydrophobic acrylic three-piece sulcus IOL (60 eyes of 35 patients) and group 2: phaco-vitrectomy with hydrophobic acrylic one-piece in the bag IOL (57 eyes of 38 patients). We excluded eyes with other concomitant pathologies. All study participants were evaluated by visual acuity assessment, intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, optical or ultrasound biometry, and optical coherence tomography. The cases were followed up for 3 months or more postoperatively.

Results
The study included 117 eyes of 73 patients, of whom 58.9% were females with a mean age of 47.71±15.37 years. The two groups were comparable in terms of preoperative assessment. Compared to group 2, group 1 was associated with significantly better mean best-corrected visual acuity (0.4 vs. 0.6 LogMAR, P<0.001) and lower mean IOP (19.0 vs. 23.6 mmHg, P<0.001). Regarding the postoperative complications, group 1 had significantly lower rates of posterior synechia at a single site than group 2 (3.3 vs. 24.6%, respectively, P=0.002) and posterior synechia at more than a single site (0 vs. 14%, respectively, P=0.008). Ring synechia was observed in four cases, all of whom were in group 2 (7%, P=0.11). Given the safer and better outcome of group 1, this group was less commonly prescribed antiglaucoma drugs, and none of them required iridotomy (P<0.05).

Conclusion
The three-piece sulcus IOL proved to be superior over the single-piece IOL in the capsular bag technique in terms of visual acuity, IOP, improved visual outcome, and fewer postoperative complications.
Structural and vascular density affection of macular and peripapillary areas in patients having multiple sclerosis versus neuromyelitis optica with previous optic neuritis
Authors: Hassan Fatma K.A. , Sharawy Mai , Kishk Nirmeen , Saeed Hatem , Elnahry Ayman G. 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
The aim of this study was to compare the peripapillary and macular vascular density changes in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) patients to multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with previous history of optic neuritis and to correlate the loss in the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and the ganglion cell complex (GCC) with the vascular density.

Patients and methods
This observational cross-sectional retrospective study was carried out on 25 patients divided into two equal groups of eyes (20 eyes of 13 MS patients and 20 eyes of 12 NMOSD patients), aged 18–50 years of both sexes and 11 age-matched and sex-matched healthy individuals as a control group. The patients were evaluated by history taking, neurological examination, Symbol Digit Modalities Test, and ophthalmic examination including best-corrected visual acuity, Goldmann applanation tonometry (adjusted for central corneal thickness), and slit-lamp biomicroscopy, followed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, and optical coherence tomography angiography.

Results
The NMOSD patients were significantly older, with lower Symbol Digit Modalities Test score, more prevalence of temporal disc pallor, larger foveal avascular zone, and with higher Expanded Disability Status Scale compared to the MS patients and the control group (P<0.05). In the deep vascular plexus, the foveal density and the central macular thickness were significantly less in the NMOSD patients (P<0.05), while in the superficial vascular plexus (SVP), the whole image density, foveal density, parafoveal density, parafoveal superior hemi, parafoveal inferior hemi, and perifoveal density were significantly less in the NMOSD patients (P<0.05). In addition, in the radial peripapillary capillary density (RPCD %), the whole image, total peripapillary, peripapillary superior hemi, and peripapillary inferior hemi were significantly less in the NMOSD patients (P<0.05). The average, superior, and inferior RNFL and GCC were significantly thinner in the NMOSD patients compared to the other two groups (P<0.05). In the MS group, there were strong positive correlations between the RNFL thickness and the choriocapillaris flow area, most of the SVP density, and the RPCD parameters, and between the GCC thickness and most of the SVP density parameters and the whole image of RPCD %, while in the NMOSD group, the best-corrected visual acuity was correlated with duration, number of eye attacks, central macular thickness of the deep vascular plexus, most of the RPCD %, all RNFL and GCC parameters.

Conclusion
Subclinical primary retinal vasculopathy was detected more frequently in the NMOSD than in the MS disease. It has an essential impact on this disease and the Expanded Disability Status Scale may be a useful adjunct for differentiation between NMOSD and MS individuals who developed previous optic neuritis.
