Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background:
Increasing trend and spread of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDR-PA) in clinical settings is a great challenge in managing patients with infections caused by this pathogen.

Objective:
To determine the risk factors and outcomes of MDR-PA acquisition in the northeastern state of Malaysia. In addition, this study also reported on the susceptibility pattern and common resistant genes among MDR-PA.

Materials and Methods:
MDR-PA isolates obtained between March 2021 and February 2022 from all four major hospitals in the state of Kelantan, Malaysia, were submitted for susceptibility and resistant genes identification. The clinical data of the patients with MDR-PA were retrospectively reviewed. The risk factors and outcomes of MDR-PA acquired patients were analyzed by comparing with patients who acquired susceptible-PA while admitted to the same hospital during the study time.

Results:
A total of 100 MDR-PA and 100 susceptible-PA cases were included. Ceftolozane–tazobactam was susceptible in 41.3% of MDR-PA compared to only 4%–8% with other β-lactams. About half (46%) of the MDR-PA isolates harbored the bla
-NDM-1 gene, but none had the bla
-OXA-48 gene. Factors independently associated with MDR-PA acquisitions were age (OR: 1.02; P = 0.028), genitourinary disorder (OR: 6.89; P = 0.001), and central venous catheter (OR: 3.18; P = 0.001). In addition, MDR-PA acquisitions were found to be associated with antimicrobial treatment failure (41.1% vs. 25.0%; P = 0.001) and mortality (40.0% versus 6.0%; P <0.001).

Conclusion:
Most of the MDR-PA strains in Kelantan tertiary hospitals harbored the bla
-NDM-1 gene, which is easily transmissible and can lead to an outbreak. Nonetheless, a significant number of the MDR-PA isolates were still susceptible to ceftolozane–tazobactam.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo discorrer como o racismo está posto na sociedade brasileira, partindo da ideia de que raça é uma tecnologia, isto é, raça é uma mediação social que ordena e produz técnicas e sentidos práticos que estruturam uma cultura. Como procedimento metodológico, foi realizado uma revisão bibliográfica acerca das definições de raça, racismo estrutural e interseccionalidade alicerçados em dados históricos e dados estatísticos retirados de pesquisas realizadas durante a pandemia do covid-19 pelas revistas NEXO, Gênero Número e o Informativo de Desigualdade Racial publicado pelo núcleo de Pesquisa AFRO. A escolha por privilegiar as pautas interseccionais advindas das lutas do Movimento Negro Antirracista se dá na importância de entender como as estratégias de combate ao racismo estrutural estão sendo desenvolvida no campo das ciências, tecnologia e sociedade.

Published: January 2025

Kehidupan dunia saat ini berhadapan dengan kasus kerusakan ekologi. Untuk itu, dibutuhkan upaya untuk pencegahannya yang awalnya dimulai dengan mengubah paradigma atau cara pandang sehingga berujung pada bagaimana sikap kita mendekati alam. Apakah kita akan tetap berpegang pada sikap antroposentrisme ataukah memilih untuk bersikap ekosentrisme dan teosentrisme tetapi dalam keadaan yang berpura-pura seakan kita peduli terhadap alam padahal sebenarnya kita sendiri merusak tatanan ciptaan Allah itu? Ataukah kita melihat ciptaan sebagai saudara kita yang Allah ciptakan untuk memuji kemuliaan-Nya? Untuk itu, dalam tulisan ini akan mengkaji tentang konsep Ekomarturia yang diharapkan dapat melengkapi bahkan memperbarui konsep pendekatan terhadap alam. Peneliti menggunakan metode kajian kualitatif dengan peendekatan kajian pustaka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa alam merupakan saudara kita sebagai suatu keutuhan ciptaan yang juga tercipta untuk bersaksi dan menceritakan perbuatan tangan Allah. Pendekatan tersebut dinamakan Ekomarturia dengan menggunakan teori berdasarkan Ensiklik Laudato Si‘, pemahaman Calvin, dan teori Perikhoresis.
Impact of Telemedicine Adoption on Patient Satisfaction during Post-Pandemic Healthcare Delivery in Ethiopia
Authors: Tadesse Milo 
Published: January 2025

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of telemedicine adoption on patient satisfaction during post-pandemic healthcare delivery.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Telemedicine has improved patient satisfaction by increasing accessibility, reducing travel and wait times, and offering flexible appointments. Patients appreciated the convenience, but challenges like digital literacy gaps, limited internet access, and data privacy concerns affected satisfaction for some. Personalized provider communication significantly boosted positive experiences. Disparities in satisfaction were observed, with older adults and low-income groups facing more barriers.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Technology acceptance model (TAM), diffusion of innovations theory & expectation-confirmation theory (ECT) may be used to anchor future studies on the impact of telemedicine adoption on patient satisfaction during post-pandemic healthcare delivery. Telemedicine platforms should be developed with a user-centric approach, emphasizing simplicity, accessibility, and adaptability to meet the needs of diverse patient populations, including older adults and those with limited digital skills. Policymakers should also introduce incentives such as subsidies for technology upgrades and reimbursement parity between telemedicine and in-person visits to encourage widespread adoption.
Validation of the Polish Self and Interpersonal Functioning Scale (SIFS-PL) in community and clinical samples
Authors: Soroko Emilia , Cieciuch Jan , Gamache Dominick 
Published: January 2025

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Polish version of the Self and Interpersonal Func-tioning Scale (SIFS-PL). The scale is designed to assess Criterion A of the DSM-5 Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD) – the four core elements of personality pathology (Identity, Self-direction, Empathy, and Intimacy) from the Level of Personality Functioning (LPF) for personality disorders (PDs).Participants and procedureAdult participants from 6 community and clinical samples (total N = 394; 83.2% female; age: M = 30.9, SD = 9.6) completed the SIFS-PL. A clinical subsample of 50 patients diagnosed with personality disorders additionally completed the Personali-ty Inventory for DSM-5 (PID5).ResultsConfirmatory factor analysis supported a bifactor four-factor model. All items had significant loadings on both the four specific elements and an overarching general personality pathology factor. The internal consistency ranged from acceptable to good for subscales and excellent for the global scale. In terms of criterion validity, results from the clinical subgroup were consistent with previous research on the SIFS. The SIFS-PL scales effectively discriminated between community sample participants and those suffering from depression, as well as an ambulatory clinical group with personality disorders.ConclusionsOur findings underscore the robust psychometric properties of the Polish version of the SIFS, rendering it a promising tool for both screening and extensive research on personality disorders within contemporary dimensional models such as the AMPD and ICD-11. Its application in clinical settings can also be advocated. However, general scores and subscale scores might serve distinct purposes, warranting further investigation into their predictive validity.
The Impact of Twisting on The Extent of Lower Lumbar Spine Lateral Flexion Among Healthy Subjects
Authors: Baida Ajeal Badir Al-Omairi  , Nokes Len 
Published: January 2025

Background: It is acknowledged that 84% of cases of pain are related to the spine. In one instance, low back pain is reduced by the spinal adjustment technique, which is predicated on exerting external stresses on the shoulder and pelvis to twist the human spine. A deeper comprehension of the biomechanical behaviour of the typical lumbar spine in each lower trunk rotational position will yield important information that can be translated into improved physical treatment line.
Objective of study: The objective of this study was to utilize MRI to find how different lower trunk twisting positions influenced the extent of lower lumbar spine lateral flexion.
Materials and Methods: Sagittal T2 weighted Magnetic resonance images of fifteen males with healthy spine structures were collected in order to evaluate the consequences of right and left lumbar spine rotations on the extent of lateral flexion of their lower backs. The extent of the lateral flexion at each contiguous lower lumbar vertebrae was measured manually by using image J software.
Results: In proportion to the lower lumbar twisting positions, the extent of lateral flexion at the last three lumbar levels increased. At all twisting positions, the lateral flexion degree was greatest at fourth- fifth lumbar level. The mean differences of lateral flexion angle were significant only in the left twisting position at the fourth and fifth lumbar levels.
Conclusion: The extent of lateral flexion at all lower lumbar segments grew in synchrony with the lower lumbar twisting positions. fourth–fifth lumbar level had the largest lateral flexion angle. But only in the left rotational position did the effect become noticeable. Consequently, this level may be the primary target of manipulative therapy during treatment.

Published: January 2025

Abstract. The turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget terms, which collectively are a key physical quantity for describing the generation and dissipation processes of turbulence, are crucial for revealing the essence and characteristics of turbulence. Due to limitations in current observational methods, the generation and dissipation mechanisms of atmospheric turbulent energy are mainly based on ground or tower-based observations, and studies on the budget terms of TKE of vertical structures are lacking. We propose a new method for detecting TKE budget terms based on coherent wind lidar and compare it with data obtained with a three-dimensional ultrasonic anemometer. The results indicate that the error in the buoyancy generation term estimated by the wind lidar is relatively small, less than 0.00014 m2 s−3, which verifies the accuracy and reliability of our method. We explore the generation and dissipation mechanisms of turbulence under different weather conditions, and find that the buoyancy generation term plays a role in dissipating TKE under low-cloud and light-rain conditions. During the day, turbulent transport and the dissipation rate are the main dissipation terms, while buoyancy generation is the main dissipation term at night. The results show that the proposed method can accurately capture the vertical distribution of TKE, the dissipation rate, shear generation, turbulent transport, and buoyancy generation terms in the boundary layer and can comprehensively reflect the influence of each budget term on the vertical structure of turbulent energy. This research provides a new perspective and method for studies of atmospheric turbulence, which can be further applied to fine observations of the vertical structure and dynamics of turbulence.
Observation-driven model for calculating water-harvesting potential from advective fog in (semi-)arid coastal regions
Authors: Lobos-Roco Felipe , Vilà-Guerau de Arellano Jordi , del Río Camilo 
Published: January 2025

Abstract. Motivated by the need to find complementary water sources in (semi-)arid regions, we develop and assess an observation-driven model to calculate fog-harvesting water potential. We aim to integrate this model with routine meteorological data collected under complex meteorological and topographic conditions to characterize the advective fog phenomenon. Based on the mass balance principle, the Advective fog Model for (semi-)Arid Regions Under climate change (AMARU) offers insights into fog-water-harvesting volumes across temporal and spatial domains. The model is based on a simple thermodynamic approach to calculate the dependence of the liquid water content (rl) on height. Based on climatological fog collection records, we introduce an empirical efficiency coefficient. When combined with rl, this coefficient facilitates the estimation of fog-harvesting volumes (L m−2). AMARU's outputs are validated against in situ observations collected over Chile's coastal (semi-)arid regions at various elevations and during various years (2018–2023). The model's representations of the seasonal cycle of fog harvesting follow observations, with errors of ∼ 10 %. The model satisfactorily estimates the maximum rl (∼ 0.8 g kg−1) available for fog harvesting in the vertical column. To assess spatial variability, we combine the model with satellite-retrieved data, enabling the mapping of fog-harvesting potential along the Atacama coast. Our approach enables the application of the combined observation–AMARU model to other (semi-)arid regions worldwide that share similar conditions. Through the quantification of fog harvesting, our model contributes to water planning, ecosystem delimitation efforts, and the study of the climatological evolution of cloud water, among others.
Posverdad y Richard Rorty
Authors: Salvá Soria Pilar 
Published: January 2025

Posverdad ha sido recientemente definida como la manipulación deliberada de una realidad con el fin de influir en la opinión pública y en actitudes sociales. Al mismo tiempo, esta idea se ha asimilado, en variadas ocasiones, a discursos postmetafísicos como el de Richard Rorty.
Este artículo pretende esclarecer la concepción de verdad de Richard Rorty y abordar la errónea asociación de su pensamiento posmoderno con el surgimiento de la posverdad en el ámbito político contemporáneo. Aunque se ha vinculado la posverdad con la filosofía de autores posmodernos contemporáneos como Rorty, es importante señalar que esta asociación carece de fundamento. Rorty no abordó directamente el concepto de posverdad en su obra, y aunque su enfoque posmoderno sobre la contingencia del lenguaje y la construcción social de la realidad puede tener implicaciones en la esfera política, no es adecuado reducir su filosofía a un respaldo teórico de la posverdad.
Long-term follow-up result of short metaphyseal femoral stem in primary total hip arthroplasty: A retrospective study
Authors: Kumar Manoj , Sharma Ayush , Ksheerasagar Vivek P , Ghosh Akash K , Lal Mukund 
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has increased along with an increasing demand for improved quality of life. Combined with prolonged life expectancy, the number of revision surgeries is expected to increase. Stress shielding is a significant issue with traditional femoral stems used in THA, making revision surgeries particularly challenging in younger patients. This has sparked renewed interest in studying safety and functional outcomes of short metaphyseal femoral stems, which have the potential to alleviate these challenges and simplify revision surgeries.
AIM
To evaluate the long-term outcomes of short-stem THA.
METHODS
A total of 124 hips that underwent THA using the short femoral stem (TRILOCK® Depuy) between May 2006 and November 2008 were included in this study. Patients were followed for a period of 15 years. Outcomes were assessed in terms of pain relief, hip joint range of motion, improvement in mobility, and functional outcomes using the modified Harris Hip Score, Oxford hip score, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index score.
RESULTS
A total of 124 hips in 98 patients were evaluated. Significant improvements in functional outcomes were observed over the 15-year follow-up period, with no cases of subsidence, implant loosening, or complications necessitating revision surgery. The only complication reported was heterotopic ossification in 1 patient.
CONCLUSION
Short metaphyseal stems provide better functional outcomes with early mobilization, and its long-term follow-up without subsidence, implant loosening, or proximal femoral bone loss simplifies revision surgery in younger patients.
