Authors: Meshram Ashrusha Ashok , Keshwani Rachna , Shah Dhwani , Rao Sudha 
Published: May 2023

Objectives:
Nutritional Vitamin D deficiency (NVDD), commonly seen in infancy and childhood, is a nutritional epidemic. Practicing child care physicians have different approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of nutritional Vitamin D deficiency in children. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of clinical diagnosis, investigations, and treatment of NVDD in infants and children among child care physicians from a teaching institute.

Material and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess knowledge, attitude, and practice of NVDD among resident doctors, consultants and faculty members working in a teaching hospital by convenience sampling method. The study was based on a pretested questionnaire which was administered by a single investigator on all the study participants. Twelve questions formulated to assess the knowledge, was scored as 0 (0%) to 14(100%) and ten questions regarding attitude and practices with possible responses as agree, disagree, or neutral was scored as 0 (0%) to 20 (100%). Data were analysed with statistical software, STATA, version 10.1,2011. Descriptive statistics included summary measures such as frequency and percentages to summarize qualitative variables and categorical responses. Inferential statistics included P-values generated from hypothesis testing procedures.

Results:
There were 96 participants including 46 residents. Forty-seven (49%) of them scored more than 11 out of 14 while 49 (51%) participants scored between 7 to 10 out of 14 on the knowledge part of the questionnaire. Interestingly nobody scored less than 7 out of 14. Sixty (62%) participants scored more than 15 out of 20 and nearly 19 (2%) physicians scored less than 10 out of 20 in the attitude and practice part of the questionnaire. On intergroup comparison between consultant pediatricians and residents on knowledge regarding NVDD showed no significant difference except for knowledge regarding cumulative therapeutic dose of cholecalciferol (p value 0.025). There were more attitude and practice gaps in this group of respondents although it was not statistically significant.

Conclusion:
This study identifies gaps in the knowledge, attitude and practice of child care physicians about NVDD in infants and children. Knowledge gaps regarding definition and change in treatment protocol of NVDD and inconsistency in clinical identification, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention protocols across all groups of physicians.

BACKGROUND: Chest traumas continue to constitute about 30% of all traumas and contribute to 25-50% of trauma-related deaths. COVID-19 has its primary pathophysiologies in the lung, and can worsen the morbidity and mortality of chest trauma if it occurs concomitantly. AIM: To Examine the profile and outcome of chest trauma across the peri-COVID-19 period. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A retrospective analysis of cases of chest trauma in the peri-COVID-19 period (mid-Nov 2019 to mid-March 2022) at GMC Doda. RESULTS: Eighty-five cases of chest trauma met inclusion criteria within the 28 months period, M:F = 7.5:1, age range 3-80years, mean age (38.60±17.40years) and median age of 37years. There were 54 (63.5%0) cases of blunt chest trauma and 31 (36.5%) cases of penetrating chest trauma. Thirty-one (36.5%) patients sustained haemothorax, 9 (10.6%) pneumothorax, 14 (16.5%) haemopneumothorax, 21 (24.7%) rib fractures, and 10 (11.8%) chest wall lacerations. Fifty-one (60%) patients had isolated chest trauma while the remaining 34 (40%) had associated injuries in one or more other organ systems. Closed thoracostomy tube drainage was definitive treatment in 48 (56.5%) patients while emergency thoracotomy was done in 5 (6%) patients. The treatment administered in the remaining 32 (37%) patients included intercostal nerve block for chest pain from rib fractures, wound exploration and wound repair. In the series, 75 (88%) had complete recovery, six (7%) patients left against medical advice, and four (5%) in-hospital mortality was recorded. CONCLUSION: The profile of chest trauma in the peri-COVID-19 period in our centre differed from the pre-COVID-19 years with a higher mortality figure. Management protocol also necessitated certain modifications.

With the advent of digital technologies (i.e., social media), tourism has evolved its marketing strategies. Even though published literature discusses the importance of tourism content on social media from various consumer perspectives, much more work must be done to examine how consumers make travel decisions based on tourism content. This study proposes a model for analyzing travel intent based on consumer motivations (e.g., novelty, entertainment, and relaxation) to watch social media travel videos. Consumers' travel intentions are influenced by trust and parasocial relationships. Through an online survey, 215 responses were collected and analyzed using a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach using Smart-PLS 3.0 and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). In the study, relaxation ranked most highly among the three motivations for viewers to watch travel videos on YouTube for building parasocial relationships. In contrast, consumers seeking entertainment are more likely to form trust, which will result in consumers' intentions to travel. Based on intermediate solutions generated by the fsQCA, two causal configurations can be used to explain consumer travel decisions influenced by social media tourism content. The study also discusses theoretical and practical guidelines in depth. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-03-015 Full Text: PDF

Published: May 2023

This analysis aims to empirically investigate the impact of different forms of Fintech on the financial performance of banks in Kosovo from 2010 to 2021. The research is based on secondary data, accounting for 48 observations at quarterly frequencies. The model treats bank performance (i.e., net profits of the bank sector) as an endogenous variable of ATMs, POS, and e-payments. The methodology applied in the research is based on the OLS technique and diagnostic tests for evaluating the normality of distribution, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, specification error, and heteroscedasticity. Results show that the variability of ATMs and e-payments determines bank performance variability. In particular, e-payments show a significant positive impact on bank profitability, whereas ATM payments display a negative impact on bank profitability. In addition, an increase in ATM payments by 1% decreases bank profitability by 0.367%. While an increase in e-payments by 1% increases bank profitability by 0.11%. The POS payments were found to have no significant relationship with bank profitability. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-03-016 Full Text: PDF

Published: May 2023

Biodiesel production using novel glycerol and potassium carbonate-based catalysts has not been developed under the Taguchi technique. This study aims to determine the most influential parameter in biodiesel production from refined bleach-deodorized palm oil (RBDPO) using DES K2CO3-Glycerol as the novel catalyst. The raw material was subjected to transesterification at the desired reaction parameters estimated by the orthogonal 16-run (L16) approach with 2 levels and 4 factors of the Taguchi technique. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and ANOVA were used to confirm the predicted value. From the results, the catalyst is the most influential variable in the TG value of biodiesel, placed in the first rank of the influence factor. Biodiesel production with a minimum total glycerol value (0.210%) using DES K2CO3-Glycerol as a catalyst is most optimally produced at 95 °C for 4 h and 400 rpm using 30 wt% methanol and 4 wt% catalysts achieved by the Taguchi technique. The biodiesel obtained from RBDPO complies with the required international standards. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-03-018 Full Text: PDF
