This research focuses on a comparative study between the levels of rice exports before and during dollarization, corresponding to the years 1980-2020; thus, the information from the World Bank, Central Bank of Ecuador and SENAE is used as a data base, which eventually leads us to a non-experimental research with a quantitative approach and through the t-test was able to determine the existence of a significant change in rice exports before and during dollarization. On the other hand, the coefficient of determination allows us to appreciate that with dollarization there is a 10% incidence between price and export levels, as well as establishing that during this stage, dependence on international relations and high production costs influence the degree of competitiveness of the price of rice.

Transition Into Practice: Beyond Hospital Walls
Authors: Cadmus Edna , Bohnarczyk Nancy , de Cordova Pamela B. 
Published: June 2023

Background:
Historically, evidence has shown the importance of nurse residency programs, yet few organizations have implemented them outside of hospital settings. This article shares nurses' experiences and outcomes in an out-of-hospital nurse residency program that transitioned bachelor of science in nursing graduates through an academic-practice partnership.

Method:
A mixed methods design was used that consisted of qualitative interviews (pre- and postresidency) and quantitative surveys (Casey-Fink Graduate Nurse Experience Survey, a job satisfaction survey, and a preceptee evaluation survey).

Results:
Forty-four nurses participated. Qualitative findings were supported by the quantitative data. Results showed that confidence, competence, job satisfaction, and retention improved with an out-of-hospital residency program.

Conclusion:

Ensuring that every new graduate is afforded a nurse residency should be the goal, regardless of setting, to reduce turnover, ensure workforce stability, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. Academic-practice partnerships can help build resource capacity, especially in these settings, to achieve this goal.

Readiness to Practice in Health Care: An Empirical Definition Based on a Content Analysis of the Literature
Authors: Le Huray Lena , Murry Adam Thomas , Mughal Hanna , Crowshoe Lynden 
Published: June 2023

Background:
Health care services require practitioners to be ready to practice (R2P), but evidence shows new graduates vary in R2P. Unfortunately, there is a lack of clarity about what R2P entails.

Method:

A content analysis of the empirical literature (
Gaur & Kumar, 2018
) was used to quantify the elements and higher-order categories of R2P.

Results:
Across 108 articles, professional development activities, communication, previous experience, confidence, clinical skills, patient-centered care, integration of knowledge, teamwork, competency, management, and interpersonal skills were used to define R2P at least 25% of the time. We identified seven domains of R2P: clinical experience, social experiences, professional development experiences, personal attributes, cognitive aspects, onboarding experiences, and educational experiences.

Conclusion:

Our study empirically defined what is associated with health professionals who were perceived as or perceived themselves as R2P in health care. Our results inform training, preparation, research, and the transition from medical training to the workplace.

Contribution des données de surveillance maritime à la Planification de l’Espace Maritime français : entre potentiels techniques et contraintes politiques
Authors: Dupont Clément , Gourmelon Françoise , Meur-Ferec Catherine , Herpers Frédérick , Le Visage Christophe 
Published: June 2023

La Planification de l’Espace Maritime (PEM), plébiscitée autour du globe comme un levier du développement durable en mer, s’illustre en pratique comme une nouvelle forme de négociation pour l’usage de l’espace maritime et de ses ressources. Pour alimenter et conforter la prise de décisions partagées, la PEM suscite un fort besoin d’information sur les dynamiques spatiotemporelles des activités maritimes existantes. Dans ce contexte, la surveillance maritime opérée en temps réel par l’État (défense, suivi des pêches) s’inscrit comme une source stratégique de données (AIS, VMS et radar) et d’informations au profit de la planification. Si l’exploitation de ces données fait l’objet d’un intérêt croissant de la part de la communauté scientifique, leur contribution effective à la planification en mer demeure marginale. Cet article en identifie les principales raisons à partir d’une enquête par entretiens semi-directifs réalisée auprès de 38 acteurs de la PEM française. Il met en lumière deux principaux freins à l’exploitation opérationnelle des données : d’une part, leur accessibilité limitée pour de nombreux acteurs, notamment publics ; d’autre part, le défaut d’acceptabilité de la part des usagers historiques de l’espace maritime face à leur mobilisation. Ces résultats illustrent la dimension fondamentalement politique que revêt l’information géographique dans le cadre de la PEM, et plaident pour une désensibilisation progressive de l’usage des données de surveillance, devenues cruciales dans un contexte de concurrence spatiale grandissante entre acteurs maritimes.
Coronavirus fear assessment using the modified COVID-19 fear scale among Indian dentists practicing in the Delhi NCR region
Authors: Kaur Harsimran , Karabale Nikita , Dhawan Pankaj , Kakar Era , Kakar Ashish 
Published: June 2023

Background:
Recently, numerous surveys have been conducted amongst different communities to assess the fear of coronavirus diseases-2019 (COVID-19), using the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19) scale. Currently, there is a spot within the literature published regarding fear of COVID-19 amongst dentists, and hence, we conducted a questionnaire-based survey to assess the fear of COVID-19 amongst dentists practicing in India.

Aim:
Assessment of coronavirus fear amongst Indian dentists practicing in the Delhi NCR region using the modified FCV-19.

Materials and Methods:
A questionnaire was formulated using FCV-19S, which gathered the demographic data and fear in relation to COVID-19. Except for the seven-item FCV-19S, three questions were formulated for dentists particularly. The responses were recorded on a five-point Likert scale, starting from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Dentists residing in the Delhi NCR region and above 18 years old were included in the study.

Results:
A total of 202 responses were obtained, which were considered for the survey analysis. The results obtained after the compilation of the information were subjected to one-way analysis of variance test, and post-hoc Tukey Bonferroni tests were used for multiple comparisons. The study population comprised 65.8% of females and 34.2% of males, with approximately 68.3% belonging to the 18–30 years age group. The t-test for total fear and gender shows total fear score was 18.85 with standard deviation = 6.23.

Conclusion:
The study suggests that the population associated with healthcare showed lower levels of fear and anxiety than the general population. The fear of COVID-19 has reduced over a period of time due to the awareness of the disease and vaccination. Media plays a significant role in the psychological aspect of the person, irrespective of the profession, which leads to certain disturbances like lack of sleep. More than 50% of dentists agree that the use of precautionary protocols in our dental practice can reduce the risk of getting infected.
Bi-directional screening for COVID-19, tuberculosis and diabetes in flu, DOTS and NCD clinics in a rural hospital in Northern India
Authors: Rajan Shruthi , Kathirvel Soundappan , Rehman Tanveer 
Published: June 2023

Introduction:
To assess the status of bi-directional screening for COVID-19, tuberculosis and diabetes among people attending Non-communicable Disease (NCD), Directly Observed Treatment Short-course (DOTS), and flu clinics of a secondary care hospital in rural northern India.

Material and Methods:
A cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted among the eligible (aged ≥18 years) population who attended the study clinics in a rural sub-district hospital. In the flu clinic, consecutive patients were assessed for screening for TB (symptom-based) and diabetes (random blood sugar) and status of referral to DOTS and NCD clinics. Similarly, the screening for diabetes and COVID-19, Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) in the DOTS clinic, and TB and COVID-19 in the NCD clinic were assessed. The independent association of factors with COVID-19 positivity were assessed by calculating the adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) at 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results:
Of the 405 people assessed, 279 (68.9%), 102 (25.2%), and 24 (5.9%) were from flu, NCD, and DOTS clinics, respectively. 26 (25.5%) and 22 (91.7%) of NCD and DOTS clinic patients underwent RT-PCR for COVID-19. TB screening in NCD and flu clinics was done among 4 (3.9%) and 7 (12.5%), respectively. A total of 23 (9.0%) were found positive for COVID-19, and no factors other than the presence of COVID-19 symptoms (aPR: 2.89; 95% CI: 1.33–6.29) had any independent association with COVID-19 positive status.

Conclusion:
The low screening for TB in NCD and flu clinics indicates the need to strengthen the implementation the TB-DM and TB-COVID-19 bidirectional screening. Similarly, the low screening or testing for COVID-19 in the NCD clinic can be improved by the implementation of systematic screening strategies like TB-DM bidirectional screening.

Authors: Mahajan Vikram K. , Vashist Sanket , Mehta Karaninder S. , Chauhan Pushpinder Singh , Singh Ravinder , Manvi Sujaya , Sharma Anuj 
Published: June 2023

Introduction:
The knowledge of the effect of sociodemographic and disease-related factors on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) is important for planning comprehensive health-care services for them.

Material and Methods:
Two hundred PLWHA on antiretroviral therapy (ART) volunteered to complete a self-reported World Health Organization's Quality of Life[FIGURE DASH]HIV brief questionnaire (WHOQoL-HIV-BREF) that examines six domains each with four items (physical, psychological, level of independence, social, environmental, and spiritual) with 25 facets and additional 5 facets specific to PLWHA (symptoms of HIV, social inclusion, forgiveness, worries about the future, and death and dying).

Results:
Only 135 questionnaires from 73 (53.3%) men and 63 (46.7%) women (male: female – 1.14:1) aged 20–82 years (mean ± standard deviation: 42.9 ± 10.5 years) were found complete. Eighty-five (63%) individuals were aged 41–60 years, 78 (57.8%) individuals were matriculates, graduates, or postgraduates, 76 (56.3%) respondents were married, and 38 (28.1%) were widows/widowers. Staying-alone workers comprised 43 (31.8%) individuals. Overall health and HRQoL were rated satisfactory (n = 85.2%) and good/very good (n = 74.8%) by a significantly greater number of individuals (P = 0.001). Pearson's Chi-squared test showed no statistically significant (P > α) associations between good HRQoL and variables such as age >40 years, gender, education, marital status, duration of disease, disclosure of serostatus to family, ART for >3 years, and CD4 >200 cells/mL.

Conclusion:
Regular ART can result in adequate control of immunosuppression and no comorbidities in a majority of PLWHA, family and social acceptance, and financial security can result in overall good HRQoL in all six domains within the WHOQoL-HIV-BREF. The study is limited by its cross-sectional study design and small sample size.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Enabling the Feasibility of Single-stage Surgery for Tandem Spinal Stenosis
Authors: Srikantha Umesh , Somasundar Deepak B. , Hari Akshay , Lokanath Yadhu K. , Chavan Vikas 
Published: June 2023

Introduction:
Tandem spinal stenosis (TSS) is a rare presentation leading to combined clinical features of upper and lower motor neuron. Scarce literature on its presentation and management is available. There are few studies recommending single stage surgery. Furthermore, no previous studies have included minimally invasive surgeries (MIS).

Objective:
To evaluate the clinical outcomes of single stage surgery for symptomatic TSS in elderly
patients and also the safety and effectiveness of minimally invasive surgeries in TSS patients.

MaterialandMethods:
We reviewed the data of 50 patients with TSS who underwent surgery from January 2014 to June 2021. The medical records were reviewed for demographic, peri-operative data, and previously documented follow-up were collected from the case records. Results were evaluated with Nurick grading, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Modified Japanese Orthopedic Association (mJOA), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for back pain and leg pain, blood loss, and complications.

Results:
The median age of patients was 66 years (range: 53–89 years). The median estimated blood loss of TSS patients undergoing simultaneous decompression was 180 ml (150–220). The median operative time was 200 min (170–250). There was a significant improvement in mJOA, Nurick grading, ODI, and VAS postoperatively as compared to preoperative values. There were no major complications.

Conclusion:
Symptomatic TSS can be safely managed by single-stage surgical intervention with good postoperative results without a significant increase in complications.
