Published: April 2023

This research was prepared as a preliminary laboratory study to achieve a moving hydraulic jump with controlled discharges. It is an initial part of the study that is being prepared to treat the salt tide occurring in the Shatt al-Arab due to the lack of water imports that were coming from the Karun and Karkheh rivers from Iranian territory, as this scarcity caused a salt tide that affected significantly the environmental reality of the city of Basra and the agricultural lands surrounding the Shatt al-Arab, such as the Shatt al-Arab district and the Siba orchards. As part of the proposed solutions, a moving hydraulic jump is created that pushes the salt tongue into the Persian Gulf; the results were promising. A moving hydraulic leap is a good example of unstable super- and sub-critical flow regimes and is regarded as a specific case of unsteady flow in a channel. There aren't many published experiments on this particular flow type, and the quantitative simulation of such a flow state has some inherent complexity. An experimental setup was created for this work in order to assess the hydraulic performance of a moving hydraulic jump in a trapezoidal flume. A sluice gate was installed at the flume's upstream edge to provide an unstable supercritical flow regime, movable hydraulic jumps along the channel, and temporal water stages at the gate's upstream side for the various downstream end boundary situations. Several flow factors, including energy head, pressure head, and flow depth, were estimated from the recorded data. The study found connections between discharge and shifting hydraulic jump variables. By employing relatively stable momentum and energy formulas, simple and time-independent formulas were developed that accurately predicted the pressure head in the subcritical region of an unstable mixed flow. As a result, the moving hydraulic jump factor can be correctly predicted using time-independent correlations by using the discharge variation as a boundary scenario.

Published: April 2023

A grade-separated crossing allows a bicycle/pedestrian to continue over or under a barrier without conflict with a vehicle. However, the serviceability of these facilities is compromised in underdeveloped countries, including Pakistan. This research examines the effectiveness of pedestrian bridges and underpasses in terms of their usage by pedestrians. A total of 80,017 pedestrian crossings were observed at four sites (3 overhead bridges and one underpass) for four weeks (one week per site) using manual and video photography. The data about age, gender, and serviceability of each pedestrian was collected and analyzed using the chi-square test, t-test, and descriptive analysis. The study site selection was based on different characteristics, i.e., the number of lanes, type of median barriers, and type of facility (bridge/underpass). The analysis shows that most of the pedestrians (71.83%) did not use the crossing facilities, resulting in the poor serviceability of these structures. A comparison between bridges and underpasses also reveals that underpass usage (62.5%) is statistically more significant than bridge usage (11.62%). There is an effect of age (p<0.001) and gender (p<0.001) on the serviceability of these facilities as well, with pedestrians aged more than 25 years old and females using the facilities more than their counterparts. The study also provides implications for the effect of barriers and the height of facilities on the serviceability of these facilities. The number of lanes and the presence of a median barrier, as well as the height of the facility (number of steps), are the primary factors influencing the serviceability of grade-separated pedestrian crossings.

Published: April 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global outbreak of the coronavirus disease caused by SARS-Cov-2. Health workers are the most vulnerable to contracting the disease. Anxiety is a reaction to a threatening and unexpected situation such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Anxiety can have a direct or indirect impact on physical, psychological and behavioral aspects. Caring behavior is central to nursing practice that must be carried out by nurses even in the era of the COVID-19 Pandemic. This research used a cross-sectional research design. The data was collected from a questionnaire distributed on April 21, 2021 with a total sample of 42 from 72 populations. The purposive sampling technique was used in this research. Data processing included coding, editing, and tabulating. The data were subsequently analyzed using Chi-Square statistical test through SPSS. Most of the nurses at Lumajang Islamic Hospital experienced Mild Anxiety levels, with a total of 38 people (90.5%), and most of them performed Good Caring Behavior with a total of 41 respondents (85%). From the Chi-Square statistical test that has been conducted, p Value = 0.000 which is smaller than the alpha value (0.05) so that H1 is accepted. There is a relationship between the level of anxiety of nurses and caring behavior of nurses in the Inpatient Installation of Lumajang Islamic Hospital. High self-efficacy and a long working period are among the factors that promote good caring behavior in the COVID-19 pandemic era.
Mathematics Students' Coping Behaviour, Happiness, and Self-efficacy in the New Normal: Correlation and K-means Cluster Analysis
Authors: Casinillo Leomarich F. 
Published: April 2023

Students in distance education are expected to have low levels of happiness in learning. As such, they must possess coping behaviour and self-efficacy to become motivated in school. This article aims to depict the level of students’ coping behaviour, happiness, and self-efficacy in learning mathematics amid the COVID-19 pandemic and determine their association. Primary data were gathered through Google Forms from 233 available samples of mathematics students at Visayas State University, Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines. The data were summarized through selected descriptive statistics and depicted their relationship with the aid of Spearman rho correlation. In addition, K-means clustering was employed to categorize the students into similar characteristics in regard to coping, happiness, and efficacy. The results showed that students during the pandemic are coping, moderately happy, and possess moderate self-efficacy. The correlation analysis revealed that students’ coping behaviour, happiness level, and self-efficacy are highly and directly associated with each other. This suggests that the students’ coping, happiness, and efficacy levels must go together to achieve a good academic performance in mathematics during distance education. Moreover, the K-means clustering analysis revealed that there are a group of students with significantly lower coping behaviour, happiness level, and self-efficacy in learning. In conclusion, mathematics teachers must encourage their students to engage in the classroom to boost their coping, happiness, and efficacy. Furthermore, teachers must give interesting and realistic mathematics activities, however, doable and suitable for online learning amid the health crisis.

What the Pandemic Left Us: Regulatory Advances for Telemedicine and Telehealth in Argentina
Authors: Chueke Daniela 
Published: April 2023

Among its many side effects, the COVID-19 pandemic left several positive results. This article talks about one of the main positive effects in the post-pandemic period: the adoption of telemedicine and telehealth, two related disciplines that were already present in several Latin American countries, but which in the past two years came to be a solution for delivering medical care to patients.
Factors such as social-distancing measures, the lack of knowledge about the virus at the beginning of the pandemic that led to strict protective measures being taken in hospitals and doctors’ offices, restricting face-to-face care of patients to a bare minimum, and the rapid response of governments, health care institutions, payers, and professionals, provided the conditions that telemedicine and telehealth had needed for many years to flourish and occupy the predominant place they currently have in the global health ecosystem.
All the benefits of remote patient care became clear at a time in world history that marked a turning point in the advancement of information and communication technologies for health. In this report we will look at the regulatory frameworks adopted during or since the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020 onward in Argentina.

Este informe describe los marcos regulatorios adoptados durante y desde la pandemia de COVID-19 a partir de 2020 en Argentina, así como el impacto de estas disciplinas y cómo se relacionan con la expansión de la telemedicina y la telesalud en el sector sanitario de la región. Entre muchos de sus efectos inesperados la pan-demia de COVID-19 dejó varios saldos positivos. Este artículo habla acerca de uno de los principales efectos positivos en la post pandemia: la adopción de la telemedicina y la telesalud, dos disciplinas relacionadas que ya estaban presentes en varios países de Latinoamérica, pero que en los últimos dos años se revelaron como la solución para hacer llegar la atención médica a los pacientes. Factores como las medidas de distanciamiento social, el desconocimiento sobre el virus al comienzo de la pandemia que obligó a tomar medidas estrictas de protección a hospitales y consultorios médicos, restringiendo la atención presencial de pacientes al mínimo indispensable y la rápida respuesta de gobiernos, instituciones sanitarias, pagadores y profesionales, posibil-itaron el impulso que desde hacía muchos años precisaba la telemedicina y la telesalud para ocupar el lugar preponderante que actualmente está ocupando en el ecosistema sanitario mundial. Todos los beneficios de la atención remota de pacientes quedaron en evidencia en un momento de la historia del mundo que representa un punto de inflexión en el avance de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación para la salud. En este reporte veremos cuáles fueron los marcos regulatorios adoptados durante o con posterioridad a la pandemia de Covid-19 a partir de 2020 hasta la fecha en Argentina.

Published: April 2023

Background: The literature supporting telehealth management is growing accelerated by the COVID-pandemic. We hypothesize that there are risks of adverse events associated with telehealth interventions.
Methods: A review of PubMed (including MEDLINE), Embase, ISI (Web of Science), VHL/GHL, Scopus, Science Direct, and PsycINFO was conducted for all adverse events associated with telehealth from January 1, 1960 to March 1, 2021. This systematic review and meta-analyses were conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
Results: Of 5,144 citations 78 published studies met criteria for quality evaluation and underwent full text abstraction including the qualitative synthesis. Of the 78 included studies 8 were included in the quantitative synthesis resulting in 2 meta-analyses. The results of the meta-analysis suggest that monitoring patients using telehealth techniques is associated with 40% lower mortality risks among patients suffering from heart failure, compared to those who received traditional care. The results of the random-effects meta-analysis showed the pooled relative risk of mortality to be 0.60, indicating that patients that underwent telemonitoring had a lower mortality risk compared with the patients that underwent usual care. Among patients with heart implants, patients who received telemonitoring had a 35% lower mortality risk compared to patients receiving traditional care.
Conclusions: While RCTs of telehealth interventions demonstrate enhanced patient outcomes in a number of studies and pave the way to evidence-based practice, the heterogeneity of the research questions suggest an important need for more complementary studies with consistent outcome assessments.

OBJECTIVE
The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol is a comprehensive, multifaceted approach aimed at improving postoperative outcomes. It incorporates a range of strategies to promote early and more effective recovery, including reducing pain, complications, and length of stay, without increasing readmission rate. To date, ERAS for spine surgery patients has been primarily limited to lumbar surgery and anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF). ERAS has not been previously studied for posterior cervical surgery, which may present a greater opportunity for improvement in patient outcomes with ERAS than ACDF. This single-institution, multi-surgeon study assessed the impact of an ERAS protocol in patients undergoing posterior cervical decompression surgery.

METHODS
This study included a retrospective consecutive patient cohort with controls that were propensity matched for age, body mass index, sex, home opioid use, surgical levels, Nurick grade, and smoking status. In addition, consecutive patients who underwent posterior cervical decompression surgery for degenerative disease from December 2014 to December 2021 were included. ERAS was implemented in December 2018. Demographic, perioperative, clinical, and radiographic information was gathered. Regression models were created to evaluate length of stay, physiological function, pain levels, and opioid use. The primary focus was length of stay, with secondary outcomes including timing of ambulation, bowel movement, and voiding; daily pain scores; opioid consumption; discharge status; 30-day readmission rates; and reoperation rates.

RESULTS
There were 366 patients included in the study, all of whom were included in multivariate models, and 254 (127 in each cohort) were included on the basis of matching. After propensity matching, patient characteristics, operative procedures, and operative duration were similar between groups. The ERAS cohort had a significantly improved length of stay (3.2 vs 4.7 days, p < 0.0001) and home discharge rate (80% vs 50%, p < 0.001) without an increase in readmission rate. The ERAS cohort had an earlier day of the first ambulation (p = 0.003), bowel movement (p = 0.014), and voiding (p = 0.001). ERAS demonstrated a significantly lower composite complication rate (1.1 vs 1.8, p < 0.0001). ERAS resulted in better maximum pain scores (p = 0.043) and trended toward improved mean pain scores (p = 0.072), although total opioid use was similar.

CONCLUSIONS
Implementing a novel ERAS protocol significantly improved length of stay, return of physiological function, home discharge, complications, and maximum pain score after posterior cervical surgery.
