"Effect Of Preoperative Education On Length Of Stay Of Patients Undergoing Abdominal Surgeries: An Experimental Study." In A Tertiary Care Hospital In Northern India
Authors: Mini Mathai, Dr C Susila  
Published: July 2023

The health care system has received much attention in recent years as efforts are made to reduce costs while maintaining or improving the quality of care. Studying outcomes has been one method of evaluating health care delivery. One commonly measured outcome of interest is length of stay (LOS).

Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of video assisted education on length of stay of patients undergoing abdominal surgeries.

Materials and methods: An experimental study was undertaken to assess the effect of video assisted education on length of stay on patients undergoing abdominal surgeries. Total 63 samples in the control group and 63 in the experimental group aged 18 years and above were selected by random sampling from all surgical wards (male and female wards) where patients were admitted for surgery. Patients in the intervention group were prepared for surgery one day prior to the surgery in the surgical wards during preoperative period by showing them videos on what to expect before, during and after surgery and were monitored for performing exercises regularly every three to four hours post operatively. The length of stay in the hospital was marked including the day of surgery and days spent in ICU and post operative wards by an observational checklist. Descriptive and inferential statistics was used for the analysis of the tabulated data.

Results: Out of 63 in experimental group respondents’ maximum respondents 16 (25%) were from age group of 38-47 years. Majority of the respondents 33 (52%) were male, 57(90%) were married, 20 (32%) of the participants were Graduates.
In control group, majority 17 (27%) of the participants were in the age group 48-57 years. 36 (57%) were male and 55 (87%) were married, 26 (41%) of the participants educational status were less than 10th standard.
In the experimental group 45 (72% i.e majority of the participants stayed 5-8 days in hospital and in the control group also majority of the participants 41(65%) stayed 5-8 days in hospital. There was no significant difference in the length of stay in the hospital for surgery in both the groups The video assisted education did not show any significant effect on the length of stay of patients admitted for abdominal surgeries.
Our study results is consistent with the study findings by (Kalogianni, et al,216) indicated "the preoperative teaching minimize the postoperative complication but did not affect the effectiveness on length" of hospital stay.
From a time where a postoperative stay of 10 days was not uncommon, patients are now routinely discharged on postoperative day

PERFORMANCE OF KAPOK FIBER REINFORCED POLYVINYL ALCOHOL BICOMPOSITE BY ALKALI TREATED
Authors: Jamat Muhammad Danial , Asik Jahimin 
Published: July 2023

Raw Kapok (Ceiba pentandra) fibre was initially washed and dried before undergoes chemical treatment. Upon dried, the kapok fibre was bleached and delignified at room temperature, in an acidic solution containing 6% of sulphuric acid and 4% hydrogen peroxide to remove hemicellulose and wax. The treated kapok was filtered and washed thoroughly with distilled water and vacuum dried at 60 oC for 10 hours. Finally, the treated kapok was converted to alpha-cellulose (α-cellulose) by alkali treatment. In this step, treated kapok was immersed in 17.5% of sodium hydroxide solution for 30 minutes at a temperature of 50 oC to remove alkali-soluble components. The obtained α-cellulose, termed as alkali-treated kapok fiber (AKTF) was filtered, washed thoroughly with distilled water until pH is neutral and vacuum dried at 60 oC for 10 hours. In this stage, a certain weight of ATKF (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%) were mixed with a hot solution of PVA and dried at room temperature. In the mechanical test, ATKF – PVA biocomposite shows an increase in tensile strength and elastic modulus up to 30% content of kapok fibre but drop at 40% kapok loading. The result shows that both ATKF – PVA biocomposite film (30%) were having the highest mechanical properties among the others and was chosen for next characterizations. It is evidence in FTIR spectra that the composites indicate the formation of new hydrogen interaction between kapok fibre and PVA which might help to improve the mechanical properties. As for XRD analysis, the ATKF – PVA biocomposite film (30%) blend was found to be a heterogeneous as the peaks of diffractogram were overlap each other. This is supported by SEM micrograph in which ATKF – PVA biocomposite (30%) show a heterogeneous phase. Additionally, in the TGA data, ATKF – PVA biocomposite (30%) was founded less thermally stable than raw kapok and pure PVA is the least thermally stable among other samples.
UTILISING FUZZY INTERPOLATION BEZIER CURVES FOR ALPHABET VERIFICATION
Authors: Zakaria Rozaimi , Yee Soon Yun 
Published: July 2023

In this paper, alphabet verification is conducted using fuzzy interpolation Bezier curves. Uncertain data can be defined by using the fuzzy number concept. Firstly, Fuzzification in the form of triangular fuzzy numbers is discussed. Then, the defuzzification process is implemented to produce crisp fuzzy data points. An error is obtained by comparing the defuzzified model of alphabet verification with the crisp model. The small error value obtained indicates that the fuzzy interpolation Bezier curve model is acceptable and can be used in modeling alphabet verification.

This paper aims to identify the tourist satisfaction dimensions in Kinabalu Park as a World Heritage Site, to come out with the tourist satisfaction indicators for responsible rural tourism framework at Kinabalu Park, Sabah, Malaysia, in terms of satisfaction and dissatisfaction dimension. One of the data sources to achieve this aim is the in-depth interview session with the tourist in Kinabalu Park, specifically the mountain climbers. The interview was conducted with Herzberg’s Critical Incident Technique (CIT), which is a method that asks the respondents to recall their exceptionally good feeling as well as their exceptionally bad feeling during their experience in Kinabalu Park. The data were analyzed thematically based on Driver’s Recreation Experience Preference (REP) scale to identify the tourists’ satisfaction dimension. Our study found that “scenery enjoyment” was the most prevalent domain for a satisfying experience or the source of good feeling. Along with the “scenery enjoyment”, there were other three emerging experience domains that could contribute to understanding the tourist satisfaction dimensions in Kinabalu Park.

Authors: Gilla Deepthi , Sanjeevi Karunakara Moorthi , KR Sreeja , SR Sreelakshmy 
Published: July 2023

Background: Conduct disorder (CD) and associated antisocial behaviour is one of the most common behavioural problems in children and young people that lead to considerable burden for the patients themselves, their family and society. There is scarcity of literature for effectiveness of homoeopathic medicines in childhood psychiatric disorders such as CD.
Summary of cases: 10 children diagnosed as CD, five each from Child psychiatry OPD and Peripheral camp at a Children’s home were treated with individualized homoeopathic medicines. All the cases were assessed at baseline and successive visits with Conduct Disorder Rating Scale (CDRS)- Parent version and the results are summarized. There was a marked reduction of disruptive behaviour and improvement in the general condition of the children.
Conclusion: The analysis of 10 cases generates a preliminary evidence for usefulness of individualized homoeopathic medicines in the management of CDs. Studies with appropriate designs are indispensable to corroborate the evidence.
Remnants of Dead Substance: The Structural Study of Ultra-High Diluted Compounds
Authors: Rahimi Fariba , Hosseinian Saba , Mirzajani Fateme , Rahimi Meraj 
Published: July 2023

Background In recent centuries, ultra-high diluted compounds have shown some effect, which has always been doubted and disbelieved due to the high dilution. Articles on UHD have published various effects of these substances on living organisms (humans, plants, animals and bacteria). But so far nothing has been found visible to differentiate the structure of these substances themselves from placebo. This research, unlike other published articles, is about the nature and structure of UHDs themselves and has been able to investigate and reveal structural differences between UHDs and of course placebo and presented different, new, and perplexing chemical results on the structure of UHDs.
Methods To prepare eleven selected samples, commercial UHDs from various plant, animal, mineral, chemical and nosode resources were used in a dilution of ´10-6. The experiments (90) were designed using the Design Expert 7.0.0 based on the Central Composite Design (CCD) statistical algorithm related to four quantitative factors of time, dilution, light intensity and temperature and a qualitative factor of UHD type. The formed things were selected and were imagined using Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM).
Results The formation of substances which gradually start taking shapes appears in the solutions. EOMs formed some things in different size, shapes, and suspended in water are observable by naked eyes. They are in tubular and layered forms which are solidified and strong with some curvatures and bending. We’ve called these substances Essential Original Matter (EOM). These EOMs are unique, distinct and repeatable and they have special structural feature that is created in every individual type of UHDs.
Conclusion The production of somethings in UHD’s solution (we called in EOMs) is reported for the first time. Results prove that UHDs are distinct from placebo in addition to the effects shown in the past and in other articles. These materials have different and unique structure. According to the current laws of chemistry, no traces of above materials are expected to be seen in these types of solutions. Based on these results, it can be suggested that the Avogadro hypothesis needs to be re-examined and revised.

“Our” Home Is “Here”: The Sense of a Homeland in Chaucer and Middle English Romance
Authors: Hardman Phillipa 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT
In his British Academy lecture “Chaucer and Englishness” (1998), and elsewhere, Derek Pearsall argued that there is no evidence for a coherent sense of nationhood in late medieval England. This article reconsiders the issue by focusing not on ideological constructions of nationhood, but on simpler, more ordinary experiences of “national feeling or a sense of national identity,” as reflected in the representation of England in Middle English romances, and the devices used by writers to create the sense of a homeland shared by narration and audience. Texts discussed include Chaucer’s Man of Law’s Tale, the alliterative Morte Arthure, Malory’s Le Morte Darthur, Guy of Warwick, the Middle English Song of Roland, and Sir Degrevant.
Imagining Chaucer’s Male Audience
Authors: Raybin David 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT
This article seeks to reconcile the characterizations of Chaucer’s voice and implied male audience encapsulated in Derek Pearsall’s “London club culture” and Carissa Harris’s “felawe masculinity.” I propose that these labels serve as complementary descriptors whose points of intersection reveal Chaucer as a poet for whom educating men about gender and masculinity mattered greatly.
