The current state of international research on the effectiveness of school nurses in promoting the health of children and adolescents: An overview of reviews
Authors: Pawils Silke , Heumann Susanne , Schneider Sophie Alina , Metzner Franka , Mays Daniel 
Published: February 2023

ObjectiveSchool nurses are engaging worldwide to promote and protect children’s health. Many researchers who examined the effectiveness of the school nurse criticized the inadequate methodology employed in many of the studies. We therefore carried out an evaluation on the effectiveness of school nurses based on a rigorous methodological approach.MethodsIn this overview of reviews we performed an electronic databank search and global research results on the effectiveness of school nurses were sought. We identified 1,494 records through database search. Abstracts and full texts were screened and summarized using the dual control principle. We summarized the aspects of quality criteria as well as the significance of the effectiveness of the school nurse. In the first step, k = 16 systematic reviews were summarized and evaluated following the AMSTAR-2 guidelines. In a second step, j = 357 primary studies included in these k = 16 reviews were summarized and assessed following the GRADE guidelines.ResultsResearch results on the effectiveness of school nurses show that school nurses play a key role in improving the health of children with asthma (j = 6) and diabetes (j = 2), results on combating obesity are less certain (j = 6). The quality of identified reviews is mostly very low with only six studies of medium quality, of which one identified as a meta-analysis. A total of j = 289 primary studies were identified. Approximately 25% (j = 74) of identified primary studies were either randomized controlled trials (RCT) or observational studies, of which roughly 20% (j = 16) had a low risk of bias. Studies with physiological variables such as blood glucose or asthma labeling led to higher quality results.ConclusionThis paper represents an initial contribution and recommends further evaluation of the effectiveness of school nurses, particularly in the areas of mental health or children from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The general lack of quality standards in school nursing research should be integrated into the scientific discourse of school nursing researchers to provide robust evidence for policy planners and researchers.

Study design
Systematic review.

Background and objective
The International Ankle Consortium developed a core outcome set for the assessment of impairments in patients with lateral ankle sprain (LAS) without consideration of measurement properties (MP). Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate MPs of assessments for the evaluation of individuals with a history of LAS.

Methods
This systematic review of measurement properties follows PRISMA and COSMIN guidelines. Databases Pubmed, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and SPORTDiscus were searched for eligible studies (last search: July 2022). Studies on MP of specific tests and patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) in patients with acute and history of LAS (>4 weeks post injury) were deemed eligible.

Results
Ten studies of acute LAS and 39 studies of history of LAS patients with a total of 3313 participants met the inclusion criteria. Anterior Drawer Test (ADT) in supine position five days post injury and Reverse Anterolateral Drawer Test are recommended in acute settings in single studies. In the history of LAS patients, Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) (4 studies) as a PROM, Multiple Hop (3 studies) and Star Excursion Balance Tests (SEBT) (3 studies) for dynamic postural balance testing showed good MPs. No studies investigated pain, physical activity level and gait. Only single studies reported on swelling, range of motion, strength, arthrokinematics, and static postural balance. Limited data existed on responsiveness of the tests in both subgroups.

Conclusion
There was good evidence to support the use of CAIT as PROM, Multiple Hop, and SEBT for dynamic postural balance testing. Insufficient evidence exists in relation to test responsiveness, especially in the acute situation. Future research should assess MPs of assessments of other impairments associated with LAS.

Shear transfer strength estimation of concrete elements using generalized artificial neural network models
Authors: Zayan Hend S. , Mahmoud Akram S. , Hamdullah Dhifaf N. 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Based on published test findings, this article outlines the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to forecast the efficiency factor of shear transfer strength in concrete. Backpropagation neural networks with feed-forward have been employed. The ANN model was created by incorporating a huge experimental database and carefully selecting the architecture and training procedure. The presented ANN model offered a more accurate tool to compute R (where R is a measure of the closeness of association of the points in a scatterplot to a linear regression line based on those points) and capture the impacts of five primary parameters: concrete compressive strength, steel reinforcement ratio, steel yield strength, fiber volumetric ration, and steel fiber aspect ratio are given from experimental data. The obtained results reveal that the first important parameter is concrete compressive strength. In addition, ρ

parameter represents the normalized tensile force in steel reinforcements of section, whereas the smallest importance parameter L/D is aspect ratio of steel fibers. Also, the current study illustrated the facilities of using generalized artificial neural networks on predicting the shear transfer strength across the concrete sections, whether they are fibrous or not. From the results, the correlation factor (R
2) is estimated to be about 83%, which means it had a good correlation within the input parameters. In addition, the mean absolute percentage error was 2.06.
Augmenting adjusted plus-minus in soccer with FIFA ratings
Authors: Matano Francesca , Richardson Lee , Pospisil Taylor , Politsch Collin A. , Qin Jining 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Adjusted plus-minus (APM) can sometimes lack common sense. This happens, for instance, when mediocre players move into the top ten, and superstars fall out of the top 100. These occasional outliers hurt the credibility of APM, and mask the benefits, such as increased prediction accuracy. We address this problem with a new method, called Augmented APM. Augmented APM incorporates external player ratings into APM methodology. The purpose of the external rating system is to capture common sense player value. Augmented APM maintains the benefits of APM, and improves credibility by leveraging external ratings that pass the eye test. The key technical idea is recasting APM into a Bayesian framework and using external ratings in the prior distribution. This paper instantiates the Augmented APM method by applying it to soccer. APM methods have not had a substantial impact on soccer, because soccer matches are low scoring, with a low number of substitutions. For external ratings, we use the video game FIFA, which provides subjective evaluations from thousands of scouts, coaches, and season ticket holders. Our paper shows that Augmented APM predicts match outcomes better than (1) APM, and (2) FIFA ratings. We also show that Augmented APM de-correlates players on the same team, which helps for players that play most of their minutes together. Although our results are specific to soccer and FIFA ratings, Augmented APM is a principled method to combine subjective and objective ratings into a single system.

Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian kepustakaan (library research) yang menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis. Sumber-sumber data diperoleh dari sumber primer maupun sekunder. Sumber primer yang digunakan adalah buku yang ditulis oleh Ranggawarsita berjudul Pamarayoga dan Zaman Edan, serta sumber sekunder yang digunakan adalah karya yang memuat pemikiran yang berkaitan dengan penelitian ini sebagai data pendukung. Konsep filsafat sejarah yang ada dalam karya Ranggawarsita seperti Paramayoga tercipta karena adanya rumusan sejarah yang dibangun oleh sinkretisme yang kuat. Kentalnya unsur sinkretisme antara ajaran Islam dan ajaran Hindu-Budha dalam Paramayoga diketahui karena banyak ditemukan mitos-mitos pewayangan, dewa-dewa Hindu dan kepercayaan Jawa lainnya yang bercampur dengan sejarah manusia menurut ajaran Islam. Paramayoga sendiri dilihat sebagai produk filsafat sejarah Ranggawarsita. Ranggawarsita juga membagi periode zaman atau kala menjadi beberapa bagian dengan istilah penamaan sendiri olehnya yaitu Zaman Kalatidha, Zaman Kalabendu dan Zaman Kalasuba yang tergolong ke dalam siklus Cakra Manggilingan. Siklus sejarah ini akan selalu berulang setiap periode tertentu. Kata Kunci: Ranggawarsita, Filsafat Sejarah, Zaman Edan, Paramayoga, Sinkretisme

Published: February 2023

Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (CIR) is a serious complication often associated with cerebral ischemia. The purpose of this study was to explore the therapeutic effect of nourishing qi, activating blood circulation, and inducing resuscitation (Borneol with astragaloside IV and Panax notoginseng total saponins, BAP) on CIR. Neurological function score system was used to determine the neurological function. The survival of nerve cells was detected by Nissl staining. The levels of IL-1β, IL-18, IL-4, and IL-10 were detected by ELISA. The expression of GSDMD, GSDMD-N, Nrf2, and HO-1 proteins in hippocampus tissues was measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Western blot, RT-qPCR, or immunofluorescence (IF) were used to detect the NACHT, LRR, and PYD domains-containing protein 3 (NLRP3), pro-Caspase-1, Caspase-1, Nrf2, and HO-1 expression. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level was analyzed by LDH release assay. Cell viability was determined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK8). Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. BAP significantly promoted the recovery of nerve function, the activity of nerve cells, and the expression of Nrf2, HO-1, IL-4, and IL-10 in rat hippocampus tissues after CIR. BAP has an obvious inhibitory effect on the expression of NLRP3, pro-Caspase-1, and Caspase-1 proteins, the release of IL-1β and IL-18 factors, and neuronal pyroptosis in hippocampal tissues. BAP also promoted IL-4 and IL-10 levels, and the activity of SH-SY5Y cells. The IL-1β, IL-18, NLRP3, pro-Caspase-1, Caspase-1, GSDMD, and GSDMD-N expressions were significantly inhibited by BAP in vitro, which was reversed by Nrf2 knockdown. This study confirmed that BAP alleviated rat CIR and inhibited the pyroptosis of SH-SY5Y cells by regulating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. This study provided new directions and ideas for the treatment of CIR.

Published: February 2023

Objectives: Studies have shown the feasibility of short-course antimicrobials in complicated intra-abdominal infection (CIAI) following source control procedure (SCP). This study was carried out to compare post-operative complication rates in short-course (5 days) and conventional (7–10 days) duration groups after antimicrobial therapy. Methods: This was a single-centre, open-labelled. randomised control trial conducted from July 2017 to December 2019 upon patients with CIAI. Patients who were haemodynamically unstable, pregnant and had non-perforated, non-gangrenous appendicitis or cholecystitis were excluded. Primary endpoints were surgical site infection (SSI), recurrent intra-abdominal infection (IAI) and mortality. Secondary endpoints included time till occurrence of composite primary outcomes, duration of antimicrobial therapy, the length of hospital stays, antimicrobial-free interval, hospital-free days at 30 days’ interval and the presence of extra-abdominal infections. Results: Overall, 140 patients were included whose demographic and clinico-pathological details were comparable in both groups. There was no difference in SSI (37% vs. 35.6%) and recurrent IAI (5.7% vs. 2.8%; P = 0.76), and no mortality was observed in either groups. The composite primary outcome (37% vs. 35.7%) was also similar in both groups. Secondary outcomes included the duration of antimicrobial therapy (5 vs. 8 days; P < 0.001) and length of hospitalisation (5 days vs. 7 days; P = 0.014) were significant. Times till occurrence of SSI and recurrent IAI, incidence of extra-abdominal infection and resistant pathogens were comparable. Conclusion: Short-course antimicrobial therapy for 5 days following SCP for mild and moderate CIAI was comparable to conventional duration antimicrobial therapy, indicating similar efficacy.

Published: February 2023

Objectives: Osteoporosis is one of the major public health problems worldwide among postmenopausal osteoporotic women. Lifestyle modification interventions along with pharmacotherapy helps to revert the bone loss and prevent the complications. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at Kasturba Hospital, Manipal from January 2019 to December 2021 among postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. The postmenopausal women who attended the osteoporosis clinic and were within the age group of 45-65 years, could speak and understand English or Kannada, and whose Bone Mineral Density (BMD) score was between -1 and -3 were included for the study. The total sample size of the study was 120 with 60 in each of the experimental and control group. After obtaining the informed consent, stratified block randomization method was used to allocate the participants to intervention and control group. The BMD was monitored by the portable ultrasound densitometer by a technician at the outpatient departments. The baseline information was collected by a structured demographic questionnaire. Intervention group participants received Lifestyle Modification Intervention Program (LMIP) whereas control group received the standard regular care by the physician. Follow up was done at three and six months. Results: The results revealed that the increase in the BMD median score among the experimental group was from -2.2 [(-2.5, -1.8)] to -1.5 [(-1.8, -0.65)] where as in the control group it was from -2.3 [(-2.6, -1.9)] to -2.0 [(-2.4, -1.5)]. The increase in the median score of the experimental group (0.7) was higher than in the control group (0.3). The results of Mann Whitey U test showed a statistical significance between the intervention and control groups in the post test after 6 months (U =.505.5, p<0.05). Wilcoxon signed rank test showed the significant change in both the intervention and control groups from pre-test to post-test I (3 months) and Post-test II (6 months) (p<0.001). Conclusion: The lifestyle modification intervention was found to be effective in improving the bone health status of postmenopausal women. Hence it is very important to integrate in regular therapy.

effect of working capital on profitability of poultry egg enterprise in Osun State, Nigeria
Authors: Kehinde Ayodeji 
Published: February 2023

This study investigated the effect of working capital on the profitability of poultry egg enterprise. Primary data were collected from 180 poultry egg farmers using two-stage sampling technique. Data were collected on the socio-economic characteristics such as age, gender, educational qualification, farming experience and flock size owned, quantities of inputs and outputs. Descriptive statistics, farm budgetary technique and ordinary least square model were used to analyze the data collected. The results from descriptive statistics show mean values of 42 years, 9 years and 5 persons for age, years of experience and household size, respectively. Majority of poultry egg farmers (52.2%) used their personal savings to fund their businesses while, some had access to loan from co-operative societies (37.2%), from SEAP microfinance (6.7%) and from banks (3.9%). Poultry egg producers invested their working capital on feeds (64.8%), rearing of poultry birds from day old chicks to point of lay (14.8%), account receivables (13.6%), drugs & vaccines (2.4%) and variable overheads (4.4%). A total cost of ₦5,494,927.04k was incurred by the poultry egg producers. Cost of feed accounted for 71.89% of the total cost of production. A total revenue of ₦9,388,555.60k and the net returns of ₦3,893,628.56k were realized. The net farm income per bird from the enterprise was ₦1,698.05k while the gross margin per bird was ₦1,795.32. The ordinary least squares regression estimates revealed that inventory, account receivable, operating cycle and flock size have significant effect on the profitability of poultry egg enterprises. The study concluded that poultry egg enterprise is profitable and working capital has a significant effect on the profitability of poultry egg enterprise. In light of the findings, the study recommended the expansion of the poultry flock size as well as reduction in the number of days of inventories, account receivables and operating cycle in order to increase the profitability of poultry egg enterprise.
Driving factors behind Uganda’s rural pastoral communities’ social-economic status; a comparison between Karamoja Region and Ankole Region
Authors: ATEGEKA STEWART 
Published: February 2023

This study aimed to analyze the social-economic status of Karamoja, Uganda’s largest pastoral region that has consistently stood out as the least developed region in Uganda. The region is naturally endowed with a variety of minerals such as marble, limestone, gold, etc. This has attracted (both local and international) artisanal and small-scale miners into the region whose contribution to the region’s development seem negligible. The Majority of the residents derive their livelihoods from livestock as a primary source. Three major rural development aspects i.e., social, ecological, and economic dimensions were assessed and compared to the Ankole region, one of Uganda’s rural pastoral regions that have over time registered progress in livestock production and regional development. Based on this comparison, similarities and differences can be identified and used to build the foundation for the development of a SWOT analysis that will focus on the Strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that exist in this rural pastoral region of Karamoja. This study creates a cornerstone for developing sustainable rural development strategies based on a focused analysis of sociological factors that are fundamental in unmasking the ground reality in the region.
