Published: September 2023

Introducción. Este estudio pretende someter a evaluación el modelo de dominancia cerebral de cuatro cuadrantes con el fin de contribuir a ampliar el debate de cómo la psicología cognitiva y la neurociencia pueden articularse con teorías de educación.
Método. Mediante un diseño transversal de tipo descriptivo, se realizó la evaluación del perfil de aptitud profesional y la medición de la actividad cerebral con EEG a un grupo de 34 estudiantes de último año de educación secundaria mientras resolvían cuatro tareas cognitivas: razonamiento numérico, seguimiento de instrucciones, reconocimiento de emociones y rotación viso-espacial.
Resultados. Los perfiles de aptitud profesional y el desempeño en las tareas cognitivas no se encuentran relacionados consistentemente con la actividad cerebral del cuadrante especifico al que se adscriben. Por otro lado, se aprecia que las puntuaciones en los perfiles de aptitud profesional varían de acuerdo con el ritmo eléctrico (alfa y beta) que exhiben los estudiantes al realizar las tareas cognitivas.
Discusión y conclusiones. Los datos reportados contradicen el modelo de especialización cerebral por cuadrantes, siendo más congruentes con otras aproximaciones teóricas que conciben el funcionamiento cerebral a partir de redes neuronales de cooperación selectiva. Este estudio aporta evidencia empírica sobre las huellas fisiológicas de la cognición de dominio especifico, siendo importante para generar estrategias prácticas que permitan potenciar el aprendizaje, la evaluación o la orientación vocacional.
<p>A bifactor-based Academic PsyCap Questionnaire for students and fresh graduates</p>
Authors: Colledani Daiana , Anselmi Pasquale , Fabbris Luigi , Robusto Egidio 
Published: September 2023

Introduction. In the last two decades, great attention has been devoted to the four dimensions of the psychological capital (PsyCap): self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience. These individual differences have been found to positively influence both academic and professional outcomes. This work aims to develop a bifactor-based version of the Academic PsyCap Questionnaire (APCQ), which is an instrument specifically meant for students and fresh graduates.
Method. Cross-sectional data were collected in a large sample of Italian fresh graduates (N = 1,603). Data were analysed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The invariance of the APCQ across males and females and across bachelor and master graduates was tested through Multiple-Group Confirmatory Factor Analyses. The relationships of the scores at the APCQ and its four scales with the soft skills were explored through Pearson’s correlations.
Results. The questionnaire includes 20 items that have been found to adequately assess the four dimensions of self-efficacy, resilience, optimism, and hope, as well as the general factor of psychological capital. The bifactor structure of the instrument is in line with the definition of PsyCap in the literature. The APCQ was found to be invariant across genders and levels of academic degrees. Moreover, the APCQ scales were found to be positively associated with a set of soft skills that are relevant to achieving academic and professional success.
Discussion and Conclusion. The paper provides researchers, practitioners, and educators with a valid and reliable instrument that may help them to effectively evaluate PsyCap dimensions in students and fresh graduates in order to design effective interventions and tailored educational programs.

Authors: Katsarou Aggeliki , Intas George , Pierrakos George 
Published: September 2023

Objectives:
The objective of this study was to investigate the needs of carers of patients suffering from chronic diseases.

Material and Methods:
The present study is a mixed approach, quantitative and qualitative. The study population consisted of 560 caregivers of patients with chronic diseases. The data collection was done with an improvised needs survey questionnaire, which included 57 questions. The questionnaire surveyed carers ‘financial needs, social needs, psychological needs, and patients’ education needs. The Cronbach-a index of the Patient Needs Survey was 0.956 and that of caregivers was 0.965. Carers’ burden of care was assessed with The Zarit Burden Interview scale. The statistical analysis of the data was done with the statistical program IBM SPSS for Windows version 26.0.

Results:
The main diseases of the patients were chronic renal failure (22.6%), multiple sclerosis (19%), cancer (19%), diabetes mellitus (7.1%), dementia (6%), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (6%). The majority of patients (82.1%) had health problems for more than 24 months. Caregivers provided 12.5 ± 8.3 h of daycare and cared for patients for more than 24 months (73.2%). Caregivers seek information from health professionals (4.41 ± 1.2), need more information (4.11 ± 1.4), feel stressed about the role of caregiver (3.91 ± 1.3), time available for vacation is limited (3.89 ± 1.4), time available for entertainment is limited (3.80 ± 1.3) and they feel intimidated with the role of carer (3.76 ± 1.3). The caregivers’ charge was 42.4 ± 19.6. Most caregivers reported moderate to severe burdens.

Conclusion:
Caregivers experience a lack of clear and comprehensible information about the treatment that caring patients receive, as well as a lack of ongoing care from health professionals.

Authors: Bhardwaj Tushti , Arora Neha , Paul Anu , Chowdhary Pallika 
Published: September 2023

Objectives:
Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) in Indian settings is yet not very often used in palliative care with the Hindi-speaking population. The Hindi version of PHQ-9 is available but its cultural adaptation to the Hindi-speaking population in North India receiving palliative care services is required to be tested. PHQ-9 as a depression screening questionnaire may help to identify depression symptoms among patients with cancer. This study aimed to examine the cultural equivalence of PHQ-9 Hindi for use with patients with cancer receiving palliative care services in North India.

Material and Methods:
Based on the standard methodology of translation and adaptation of the scale, the following process was used: (i) Two focused group discussions with 17 experts working in a cancer palliative care setting, (ii) qualitative interviewing with 11 patients, and (iii) research team review. All interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and item-wise content analysis was conducted.

Results:
A few difficult phrases in the original PHQ-9 were ‘dilchaspi’, ‘avasadgrast’, ‘kam urja’, ‘nakaam’, parivar ko neecha dhikhana and ‘ashthir’ which were changed to Kam Mann Lagna, Mann Dukhi hona, kamjori, saksham nahi hain’ ‘asafal’, Parivar ko nirash karna’ and ‘bechain,’ respectively. Two items, namely no. 6 and 8 were changed to shorten the length for appropriately conveying the meaning.

Conclusion:
Hindi language involves various dialects which change from region to region bringing variations in understanding the meaning of the words. It is recommended that culturally equivalent scales are used in practice and research. PHQ-9 is now culturally adapted for the Hindi-speaking population in North India. PHQ-9 will help identidy depressive symptoms at an early stage. Psychometric testing of PHQ-9 is underway.

Authors: Bhasin V. B. , Singh Amarjeet , Jolly Angad , Palatty Christo 
Published: September 2023

Objectives:
Achilles tendon is one of the most commonly ruptured tendons in the body. Conservative and operative treatment is both well-described in the literature. Surgical treatment carries risks and complications, which we tried to overcome with our novel biplanar repair technique.

Materials and methods:
The unique features of our technique include an incision with intact skin bridge, repair of tendoachilles tendon with mediolateral and anteroposterior tunnels in calcaneal tuberosity and a post-operative cast permitting knee flexion, preventing knee extension.

Results:
The results of this technique after 1 year of follow-up showed no wound-related complications, no rerupture, and an average American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society score of 92.

Conclusion:
It is a promising technique and further studies are needed to compare the results of our technique with existing ones over longer periods.
Vitamin D deficiency does not associate with anterior cruciate ligament injuries in elite athletes
Authors: Gupta Ravi , Kapoor Anil , Jhatiwal Sanjay , Singh Sandeep 
Published: September 2023

Objectives:
Recently, low levels of Vitamin D levels in sportspersons are observed by many studies. However, the role of low Vitamin D levels on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is not well studied. The purpose of this study was to find out the correlation between serum Vitamin D levels and ACL injury.

Materials and Methods:
This is a case–control study in which 55 athletes were enrolled in both cases (ACL deficient) and controls (ACL intact). Serum Vitamin D levels were measured in both the groups (preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively) and depending on the Vitamin D levels, athletes were categorized as Vitamin D deficient (<20 ng/mL), insufficient (20–30 ng/mL), and sufficient (>30 ng/mL). Functional outcomes were assessed using the Lysholm score and Tegner activity score at 12 months follow-up.

Results:
Overall, 91% of cases and 93% of controls were observed to be Vitamin D deficient or insufficient (n.s.). There was no significant difference among mean Vitamin D levels in cases (16.34 ± 11.89 ng/mL) and controls (18.08 ± 9.9; n.s.). There was no significant difference in post-operative function outcomes (Lysholm score) between the three groups among cases at 12 months follow-up (n.s.).

Conclusion:
The presence of low Vitamin D levels is not a risk factor for ACL injuries and low Vitamin D levels are not a hindrance to recovery after ACL reconstruction.

Authors: Sharma Rajiv , Joshi Amit , Basukala Bibek , Singh Nagmani , Bista Rohit , Panta Sunil , Pradhan Ishor 
Published: September 2023

Objectives:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the use of an intra-articular drain the following arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) would have benefits in terms of post-operative range of motion, pain, and swelling as compared to the use of no drain.

Materials and Methods:
This was a prospective comparative study conducted at the Department of Orthopedics, Baidya and Banskota (B&B) Hospital over a period of 11 months from August 15, 2021, to July 15, 2022. One hundred and fifteen patients who underwent ACLR with or without meniscal procedures were randomly assigned to two groups. Group A (55 patients) where the drain was used and Group B (60 patients) where the drain was not used. Patients were evaluated on day 3 and day 14 and post-operative outcome in terms of flexion loss, extension loss, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, and suprapatellar girth was compared between these two groups.

Results:
No significant difference in flexion loss, extension loss, suprapatellar girth, and VAS score was observed between these two groups both on day 3 and day 14.

Conclusion:
We concluded that routine use of intra-articular drain is not necessary for arthroscopic ACLR.

Published: September 2023

Objectives:
This study investigated the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) among tuberculosis (TB) patients in Jos, Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:
Seventy-one (71) TB-positive individuals visiting anti-retroviral clinics (male and female between the ages of 15–55 years) were enrolled in the study. Questionnaires and consent forms were issued to these patients after obtaining ethical clearance for the study. Two milliliters of blood samples were obtained from each TB-positive individual by venipuncture and were analyzed using a hepatitis B and C rapid kit (Solid rapid test kit manufactured by Hangzhou Deangel Biological Engineering Co., Ltd. China). Analysis of data was performed with version 26 of SPSS software.

Results:
Out of the seventy-one (71) TB patients recruited in the research, 4 (5.6%) and 2 (2.8%) patients had hepatitis B and C virus, respectively. In this study, HBV seroprevalence, 3 (13.1%) and 1 (11.1%) were recorded among two age groups: 26–30 and 36–40 years, respectively. HCV seroprevalence, 2 (9.1%) was reported within the age group 26–30 years only. The age group and the prevalence of HBV and HCV among the study subjects had no statistically significant relationship (P > 0.05). Of the 37 females examined, 2 (5.4%) were positive for HBV or HCV, respectively, while of the 34 males, 2 (5.9%) had only HBV. The variables which showed no significant relationship with hepatitis B and C virus were age (P = 0.423; P = 0.436), sex (P = 0.660; P = 0.268), newly diagnosed TB patients and those on treatment (P = 0.416; P = 0.111), blood transfusion (P = 0.433; P = 0.330), illegitimate sex (P = 0.668; P = 0.239), tattoo (P = 0.298; P = 0.298), human immunodeficiency virus status (P = 0.542; P = 0.654), use of sharp objects (P = 0.409; P = 0.686), and knowledge of the virus (P = 0.702; P = 0.614) as P > 0.05. In addition, variables that showed a significant relationship with HCV infection are those that have not been vaccinated with hepatitis B (P = 0.015) as P < 0.05.

Conclusion:
TB patients attending the Faith Alive Foundation Hospital and Plateau Specialist State Hospital, Jos have a low seroprevalence of HBV and HCV and it is recommended that more sensitive and reliable diagnostic options such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and polymerase chain reaction are employed in further studies. TB patients seropositive for HBV or HCV were referred to physicians for appropriate management to prevent complications and the likelihood of damage to the liver as a result of treatment with drugs against TB.

Published: September 2023

The research objective was to measure the optimum level of BAP for supporting the growth of butterfly pea flowers through tissue culture techniques. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments based on BAP media levels (BAP 0 ppm, BAP 0.5 ppm, BAP 1 ppm, BAP 1.5 ppm, and BAP 2 ppm) and 20 replications. Parameters measured were plant height, plant height increase, number of leaves, number of branches, number of tillers, percentage of tiller growth, plant weight, and leaf color. The results showed that the use of BAP levels 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 ppm in butterfly pea flower plants through tissue culture techniques was not effective in increasing plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, number of tillers, and percentage of tillers at the end of the research (27 DAP). Using an optimum BAP level of 0.5 ppm resulted in higher biomass production and the dominance of green leaf color visualization.

Published: September 2023

This study aimed to evaluate separation method to reduce the shells of palm kernel cake (PKC) and to optimize the extrusion process to increase the nutrient utilization. The sieving process was a method of separating two materials that had different sizes, both solid and liquid materials. The extrusion process variables used in this study were extrusion temperature and moisture content of PKC as optimization variables in the response surface methodology (RSM). The RSM design was central composite design (CCD) with 13 treatments and analysed with Design Expert version 13. PKC was separated from its shell by filtering it at a size of ≤0.600 mm and continued the extrusion process for 13 treatments using temperatures starting from 72 to 128 °C and moisture content starting from 22 to 78%. The main variable response was crude protein (CP), crude fibre (CF), and ether extract (EE). Based on statistical analysis, it was found that temperature and moisture content had a significant effect (p<0.05) on the mathematical model of the relationship between the independent variables (temperature and moisture content) and the best CP, CF and EE responses. PKC extrudate had a bulk density value of 420 kg m-3 and a total solubility of 24.11%. The conclusion of this study was that the optimal extrusion treatment at BIS was using 91 °C and 42% moisture content to produce the best chemical and physical qualities.

This study was aimed at evaluating the utilization of total mixed rations containing cocoa pod frass and palm kernel meal frass from BSF larvae on the performance and blood profile of boerka goats. Twelve male boerka goats with an average initial weight of 23,79±3,49 kg were used in this experiment, which were then grouped into four groups based on body weight. The treatment consisted of R0: control ration (30% forage+70% concentrate), R1: ration containing 15% cocoa pod frass+15% forage+70% concentrate, and R2: 15% palm kernel meal frass+15% forage+70% concentrate. The observed parameters were nutrient consumption, body weight gain, feed efficiency, haematological profile and blood metabolites. The study used a randomized block design and the collected data would be analysed using analysis of variance as the significance of treatments was continued with Duncan test. The result showed that ration containing cocoa pod frass gave a better response to the performance and blood profile of goats. The conclusion of this study was the feeding ration containing cocoa pod frass and palm kernel meal frass could be used as a mixture in goat rations and did not interfere with the goat’s health.

Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and analyze the effect of the level of protein content in feed on the superovulation response in cattle through a meta-analysis study. The meta-analysis study was performed with OpenMEE application and used scientific articles from international journals according to the topic of the study. The superovulation parameters used in this study were the number of corpus luteum, the number of collected embryos, the number of viable embryos, degenerated embryos, unfertilized embryos, and the proportion of viable embryos. The results of a meta-analysis of 37 research results in 20 scientific articles showed feed protein level had a significant effect on increasing the number of corpus luteum, collected embryos, viable embryos, and the proportion of viable embryos. Meanwhile, the feed protein level had no significant effect on degenerated embryos and unfertilized ovum. It could be concluded that an increase in feed protein content had a positive effect on several reproductive quality parameters.
