Kajian ini menyelidik bagaimana pandemik COVID-19 memberi kesan kepada reputasi dan kepimpinan Malaysia di peringkat serantau melalui kajian terhadap beberapa aspek meliputi (i) model pengurusan pandemik, (ii) bantuan kemanusiaan, (iii) hubungan bilateral dengan negara-negara lain serta (iv) penglibatan Malaysia dalam COVAX Alliance. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa model pengurusan pandemik Malaysia boleh menjadi rujukan bagi negara-negara serantau dan kepimpinan Malaysia dalam bantuan kemanusiaan semasa pandemik berada pada tahap yang baik. Bagaimanapun, hubungan bilateral Malaysia dengan negara-negara kuasa besar dunia sepanjang pandemik COVID-19 meningkatkan risiko kebergantungan atau keterikatan Malaysia terhadap kuasa luar. Selain itu, penglibatan Malaysia dalam COVAX Alliance didapati tidak meningkatkan pengaruh kepimpinan Malaysia di peringkat serantau. Kajian ini menyumbang dalam pembangunan reputasi dan kepimpinan Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara yang kuat, maju dan berdaulat serta bertanggungjawab terhadap komuniti antarabangsa.
This study examines how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected Malaysia’s reputation and leadership at the regional level by revieweing several aspects including (1) the pandemic management model, (ii) humanitarian aids, (iii) bilateral relations with other countries and (iv) Malaysia’s involvement in the COVAX Alliance. The findings of this study show that Malaysia’s pandemic management model can be a reference for regional countries and Malaysia’s leadership in humanitarian aids during the pandemic was at a good level. However, Malaysia’s bilateral relations with the world superpowers throughout the pandemic increases the risk of Malaysia’s binding dependence on foreign powers. In addition, Malaysia’s involvement in the COVAX Alliance was found not to increase the influence of Malaysian leadership at the regional level. This study contributes to the development of Malaysia’s reputation and leadership as a strong, developed and sovereign country who is responsible towards the international community.

Kajian ini menilai impak pandemik COVID-19 dalam bidang sains dan teknologi khususnya berkaitan pembangunan hab data dan teknologi kepintaran buatan (AI) di Malaysia. Pandemik COVID-19 telah melonjakkan digitalisasi dan menyumbang kepada pembangunan hab data yang pesat di Malaysia. Malaysia memiliki beberapa kelebihan berbanding negara-negara serantau sebagai destinasi pelaburan pembangunan hab data yang menarik bagi pemain industri antarabangsa. Kerajaan Malaysia telah menerajui transformasi digital dan pembangunan hab data termasuk pembangunan modal insan dengan kerjasama pelbagai pihak swasta dari dalam dan luar negara. Bagaimanapun, pembangunan teknologi AI di Malaysia masih ketinggalan kerana belum matang tetapi mempunyai potensi yang tinggi untuk diterokai.
This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the field of science and technology, particularly in relation to the development of data hub and artificial intelligence (AI) technology in Malaysia. The COVID-19 pandemic has boosted digitilisation and contributed to the rapid development of data hubs in Malaysia. Malaysia has several advantages over other countries in the region as an attractive data hub development investment destination for international industry players. The Malaysian government has lead the digital transformation and data hub development including human capital development in collaboration with various international and local private parties. Nevertheless, the development of AI technology in Malaysia is lagging behind because it is still not mature yet but it has high potential to be explored.

IntroductionPhysiotherapy Scoliosis Specific Exercises (PSSE) is a conservative approach for the management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) designed according to the guidelines of the International Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT). Hence the aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of PSSE and conservative management strategies for patients with AIS.MethodsA systematic review was conducted and searches were carried out on a virtual database. The primary outcome measure analysed in this paper was Cobb angle and angle of trunk rotation, while the secondary outcome included functional capacity. A total of twelve studies were included in the review, which was analysed to determine the effects of conservative management of spinal scoliosis among adolescent aged children.ResultsThe study was conducted on patients who had developed idiopathic scoliosis and had a Cobb angle of greater than 10°. The significance of the conservative management protocol was estimated based on the reduction of Cobb angle by > 5° post-intervention.ConclusionsThis review concluded that therapeutic exercises alone have added to the noninvasive standard of care in reducing magnitude of Cobb angle among AIS patients. The studies reviewed in this paper provide significant evidence that a minimum of sixteen weeks of the exercise-based protocol has been able to produce a statistically and clinically significant result in Cobb angle reduction by almost 5° to 8°.

MANAGING WORKFORCE DIVERSITY AND THE QUEST FOR ETHICAL LEADERSHIP
Authors: IYAMABHOR Martins  , OGUNDARE, Justice Taiwo  , Roland Orie Akpubi  , OGBOR John O  
Published: June 2023

This study proposes a framework for analyzing and understanding the relationship between ethical leadership and the management of workforce diversity. Using meta-synthesis as a methodological approach, the study examines the current research stream in workforce and workplace diversity. Second, the concept of ethical leadership is examined, including the conditions for its applicability and possibility in creating leader-follower relationship. It is argued here that our understanding of diversity and all of its ramifications are products of our ethical and cultural conditioning. A review of the ontological nature of ethical leadership indicates how organizational leaders function as role models and how members of the organization identify themselves with the organization ideal as embodied in the leader’s ideal. Further, we explain how the actions of organizational leaders as parental figures and role models are capable of altering followers’ perception of their individualities and their realities. We argue that organizational leaders can and should use their power of influence (as role models) to make their followers recognize the inherent advantages and challenges of a diverse workforce and workplace. We point out that the inability of our leaders to manage the diversity in our society and institutions poses a serious threat to the nation’s security. On this basis, we suggest that ethical leadership seems to be an appropriate form of leadership behavior for managing a diverse workforce capable of achieving the goals of an organization. Finally, five ethical leadership approaches for creating and sustaining effective management of workforce diversity are suggested.
Keywords: Workforce Diversity, Ethical Leadership, Ethical Climate, Cultural Orientations.

Published: June 2023

Background: The time interval in between pregnancies is viewed as an important and modifiable risk factor for adverse birth outcome. Short interpregnancy interval is associated with a number of adverse outcome for both mother and child, including increased risk of preterm labour, low birth weight baby, and preeclampsia .
Objective: To determine the association between adverse perinatal outcome and short inter-pregnancy interval in women presenting in labour
Material and Methods: This cohort study was conducted at department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, unit 1, Lahore General Hospital Lahore for 6 months (from July 12, 2015 to Jan 12, 2016). It was non-probability purposive sampling. Informed consent was obtained. Demographics were noted. Then females were divided into 2 groups, 160 patients in each group, group I with short inter-pregnancy interval (<18 months) and group II with normal interpregnancy interval(≥18 months).Then antenatal record was assessed to measure the gestational age at time of delivery and preterm delivery was labeled if female delivered before 37 completed weeks of gestation. After delivery, baby was assessed for low birth weight i.e<2.5kg. All collected data was entered and analyzed in SPSS version 17.0. Relative Risk was calculated to measure the association between short inter-pregnancy interval and adverse perinatal outcome. RR>1 was considered as significant risk.
Results: In my study the mean age of the patients was 29.23±6.24 years and the mean gestational age of the patients was 38.47±2.38 weeks.In this study the preterm deliveries were observed in 67 cases (20.9%) in which 46 (68%) were from short IPI group and 21 (31.3%) were from normal IPI group. Statistically a significant risk of preterm delivery was noted in short IPI group as compared to normal IPI group. i.e RR=2.67. In my study the LBW babies were observed in 46 cases in which all the 46 (100%) were from short IPI group. Statistically a significant risk of LBW babies was noted in short IPI group as compared to normal IPI i.e. RR=2.404.
Conclusion: There has been statistically significant risk of adverse perinatal outcome (preterm birth and LBW) in patients with short IPI as compared to patients with normal interpregnancy interval.

Published: June 2023

Background: Supracondylar fractures of humerus are one of the largest sources of serious problems and treatment controversy in childhood fractures. The advantages and disadvantages of different methods of treating supracondylar fractures of humerus in children are still evolving and need to be investigated.
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of two techniques of treating Gartland type III supracondylar fractures of humerus in children
Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was carried out at Orthopedic Unit, Jinnah Hospital, Lahore from 22nd August 2007 to 31st May 2008. Sixty patients selected by non-probability sampling with Gartland type III supracondylar fracture of humerus were divided in Group A and B with 30 patient in each group. After stabilizing patients, group A was managed with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning and group B with open reduction and internal fixation. Patients were discharged when stable and followed clinically and radiologically for effectiveness of reduction and union of fracture at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks.
Results: There were 78.3% males and 21.7% were females. Majority of patients (36.7%) were between 5-7 years of age. Right humerus was fractured in 63.3% of patients. Most common mode of injury (40%) was fall during play. Eighty percent of children were presented in 1st 24 hour of injury. Sixty percent of children in group A had a hospital stay of 2 days and in group B, 60% had hospital stay of 4-5 days. In group A, 16.6% patients developed postoperation complication and in group B, 46.7% developed complications. Functional outcome was excellent in 73.7% in group A and 60% in group B. Radiologically, callus formation was relatively poor to start in group B.
Conclusion: Closed reduction & pining under image intensifier is as good as open reduction and internal fixation for these fractures in children with early callus formation.
