Authors: Libot Buenaventurada D. 
Published: November 2022

Behavioral leadership styles refer to the behavioral approaches faculty members applied in the classroom. Job performance is the sum total of a teacher’s execution in their classes. This study aimed to determine the behavioral leadership styles in relation to faculty members’ job performance in the three selected colleges, namely the College of Arts and Sciences, Teachers College, and College of Business Administration of the University of Bohol during the school year 2012 – 2013 and benefits in the process of devising mechanisms to improve quality of behavioral styles to job performance. Quantitative descriptive studies were utilized employing a standardized tool to determine the behavioral leadership styles of the faculty, the researcher-made questionnaires for the profile, and documentary analysis taken from the data of the University Human Resource Office was used in determining the job performance of the teaching employees and In-Depth-Interview (IDI) among faculty members of the three colleges. It made use of frequencies, percentages, and Chi-Square. Results showed that leadership style is not a predictor of faculty’s job performance. However, the job performance of the faculty with a task-oriented leadership style is significantly better than the people.

Continuous publication
The first two academic journals in the world were Le Journal des savants created in January, 1665 in France [1], followed by Philosophical transactions, founded later that year in March [2], in England. For the next 350 years, there were no significant changes in this form of scientific publishing, while in the last two decades, there have been many transformations caused by the development of the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1990 [3]. Only 3 years after the public presentation of the WWW in 1993, scientific journals began to be disseminated through the Internet.
Initially, scientific journals began to be edited with the aim of publishing summaries of printed books, and from the 19th century on, the scientific article became the most important means of communication of research results [4], multiplying continuously the number of existing scientific journals that were born on a regular basis, whether weekly, fortnightly, monthly, bimonthly.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a major public health problem in Andhra Pradesh and Indian diabetes risk score (IDRS) is a cost-effective tool for screening of undiagnosed diabetic individuals in the community. The objectives of this study were to assess the sensitivity and specificity of IDRS method as a screening tool in community as well as to determine the importance of stress scale in relation with diabetes. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2022 to May 2022 among 18 years and above residing in select areas of Prakasam and Visakhapatnam districts. House to house survey was done for collecting data on IDRS with pretested questionnaire. Cohen's perceived stress scale was used to assess the level of stress. Results: Out of 200 study subjects, 53.5% were males, mean age was 40.13±15 years and 23% were illiterate. The overall prevalence of diabetes was 21.0%, as per IRDS, 20.5% were in low-risk category. 44.5% and 31.5% were in moderate and high-risk category respectively. No physical exercise- 45 (71.7%), consumption of non-vegetarian food- 43 (65%), low consumption of fruits- 47 (74.6%) among high-risk category. Sensitivity of IDRS was 50.6%, specificity 71.6%, positive predictive value 33.8% and negative predictive value 86.3%. Mean perceived stress score was found to be 19.5±4.03.Conclusions: This study estimated the usefulness of Indian diabetes risk score for identifying high risk diabetic subjects in Indian urban population so that proper intervention can be done to reduce the burden of disease. Stress may be included in the IDRS.

Published: November 2022

Preoperative emotional distress in children should be addressed properly for better anesthetic experience. The present study was a Prospective randomized double-blind study to evaluate comparative efficacy of three different doses of intranasal dexmedetomidine for premedication in children. Sixty children were then randomly allocated to one of the three groups of 20 each by a computer generated table. The drug was administered 45 minutes prior to induction of anesthesia intra-nasally. Following intra-nasal drug administration, anxiety was assessed at 0 minutes -baseline, 30 minutes, 45 minutes and at parental separation in the preoperative area just before shifting in operation theater using the mYPAS (modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale). At induction, induction compliance was assessed using the induction compliance checklist and heamodynamic response to definitive airway was assessed.It was observed that intranasal dexmedetomidine in lower doses of 0.5 and 1µg/kg was effective in reducing anxiety from baseline values but was not sufficient for providing anxiolysis at the most stressful time - at parental separation and shifting to OR (Operating room). The dosage of 1.5µg/kg was found to be the most effective dose for allaying preoperative anxiety without any adverse effect. However, this dose was insufficient for optimizing induction as it is mainly anxiolytic and higher doses having additional sedative action may be required to make the child more compliant for induction of anesthesia.Based on our findings, we recommend that intranasal dexmedetomidine in the dose of 1.5µg/kg can be used for allaying preoperative anxiety, without any adverse events.• Question: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of three different doses of intranasal dexmedetomidine for premedication in children for preoperative anxiety using the mYPAS scale. • Findings: Dose of 1.5µg/kg can be used for allaying preoperative anxiety, without any adverse events. • Meaning: Optimum dose of intranasal dexmeditomedine which is efficient to allay preoperative anxiety in children.

Published: November 2022

An ideal local anesthetic should act swiftly and be efficacious without causing discomfort or toxicity. Buffered anesthetic is useful when it comes to limiting toxicity because of the reduced volume that is needed and the decreased time it takes to be effective when compared with other conventional means. Buffered anesthesia uses sodium bicarbonate mixed into lidocaine prior to injection to neutralize the acid. All the patients were explicated about the study and its significance and valid informed consent was procured from those who were willing to participate in the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to the right and left sides of patient – side A and side B. Side A included patients that were injected with buffered solution [combination of LA with adrenaline 1:80,000 & sodium bicarbonate] and side B included patients that were injected with LA with adrenaline 1:80,000. The results of this study confirm that the routine use of alkalinized local anesthetic solution in cases of acute head and neck infections may improve patients’ comfort and speed up the time of onset of anesthesia. In conclusion, the use of sodium bicarbonate as an adjunct in local anesthetics is convenient, safe, easy to dispense, and readily available.

Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant, structural analogue of Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA) and is very much efficient in the management of neuropathic pain and incisional injury. The aim of this research is to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative administration of pregabalin on postoperative analgesic requirement in subjects undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy under spinal anaesthesia.: A randomized, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in 129 patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy under spinal anaesthesia, divided in three groups (placebo group, 75 mg of pregabalin and 150 mg of pregabalin) of 43 patients each. Pre-operative Ramsay sedation scale was noted and post-operative VAS score for pain at rest and on cough at 30 minutes, 1hr, 2 hrs, 6 hrs, 12 hrs and 24 hrs post operatively was noted. Time for requirement of rescue analgesics on post-operative day one was assessed.: The post operative pain scores reduced with the dose of pregabalin. Sleep score also was significantly better as the dose of pregabalin increases. The need for rescue analgesia decreased with the dose of pregabalin. As the dose increases, the side effects Dizziness, Nausea and vomiting also increases.Pregabalin has been found to reduce the post operative pain effectively, reduces the need and dose for rescue analgesia and improves the post operative sleep pattern. The side effects are high for a dose of 300 mg. Therefore 150 mg of pregabalin is advocated for better pain management and sleep pattern.

Published: November 2022

: Nerve block as a part on regional anaesthesia extends analgesia time and gives better haemodynamic stability, so comparison of nerve block like psoas compartment block and sciatic nerve block with spinal anaesthesia is our main aim of study. Total 96 patients of tibial surgeries with any gender of ASA grade I, II and III were assigned and randomly divided into two groups:- group P- psoas compartment block plus sciatic nerve block and group S-unilateral subarachnoid block. Parameters compared were onset, peak effect and duration of sensory and motor blockage, haemodynamic parameters, postoperative duration of analgesia and requirement of rescue analgesics post-operatively. Onset of motor and sensory block were faster in group S than group P. There was no significant difference in haemodynamic parameters in both the group. Duration of analgesia in group P was 16.79 ±2.3 hours as compared to group S was 5.57 ±0.49 hours, which was highly significant. Number of rescue analgesic required was significantly less in group P(1.10 ± 0.30) as compared to group S (3.04 ± 0.20) without significant complications in both the groups.Combined psoas compartment block with sciatic nerve block provides prolonged duration of analgesia over subarachnoid block and less numbers of rescue analgesics required postoperatively with good haemodynamic stability.

Abstract
Karachaganak is one of the world's largest oil and gas condensate fields in a deep heterogeneous carbonate reservoir with complex sour fluid system located in Western Kazakhstan. Karachaganak's estimated reserves are over 2.4 Bln bbls of condensate and 16 tcf of gas. The asset is co-operated by Shell and Eni through Karachaganak Petroleum Operating (KPO) b.v. Joint Venture.
KPO successfully deployed a new KUAT operating center with aim to maximize production and improve collaboration among key functional groups managing day-to-day field activities. Maximizing oil production means getting the most condensate liquids to surface at a given gas (or other) constraints by routing producer wells through the network to arrive at the lowest field GOR. Experience showed that the key success factor was to establish a collaboration between Subsurface and Production departments built upon common understanding of field data. Physical embodiment of this collaboration is the Karachaganak Unified Action Team – KUAT, which means "power" in Kazakh. This center was established in 2020 with physical placement of Petroleum Engineers together with Production, Process and Planning Engineers in one Operating Center at the field site.
The objectives of KUAT team include the following short-term integrated activities:
Daily well line-up optimization as per integrated limit diagram views Integrated activity planning – e.g. optimized start-up of the new wells and projects Well surveillance planning and execution – from reference plans, EBS and opportunity-based GOR management Flow assurance
KUAT team utilizes the industry standard digital solutions like PI and PI vision and Petex type of solvers as well as custom-made integrators like Data Integrator and Network Optimizer (DINO). In order to ensure that production is always maximized and potential downtime is minimized a robust understanding of the limit diagrams and well potentials is required. This information is provided by live integrated dashboards which include the real-time data from subsurface to export routes. The overall contribution from KUAT is estimated at ~7,000 BOPD or 3% of incremental field production.
This paper will cover the overview of KUAT journey from early concept development to current state explaining how this center operates today. Workflows and improvements are included in the discussion as well as challenges faced throughout the implementation of newly developed team within the organization
