FREQUENCY FOLLOWING RESPONSES IN YOUNG, MIDDLE, AND LATE ADULTHOOD
Authors: A.K. NITHIN , P.K. Sinju 
Published: February 2022

IntroductionPrevious work using speech evoked ABR reported a significant decline in onset and offset responses with advancing age, but no differences for Frequency Following Responses (FFRs). Many researchers report reduced neural synchrony as age advances. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aging on FFRs.Material and methodsA total of 45 participants were included in the study. They were divided into three groups of 15 individuals: young adults (20–40 years), middle aged adults (41–60 years), and older adults (>60 years). All had normal hearing sensitivity and were free from any otologic or neurologic disorder. FFRs were obtained using a /da/ stimulus of 40 ms and 80 dBnHL containing five formants. To minimize preferential recording of activity from either side, a midline electrode site was used. Data analysis followed Russo et al. [1]. The seven peaks of the response to /da/ (waves V, A, C, D, E, F, O) were identified by two experienced audiologists as onset responses, spectro-temporal responses, fundamental frequency, and harmonics.ResultsFindings were that the occurrence of waves V and A was 100% in all individuals, but the occurrence of waves C and O was 60% in young adults, 73% in middle age adults, and 53% in older adults.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that older listeners have a general reduction in synchronous neural firing to speech stimuli. In particular, the ability of neurons in the auditory system to accurately encode important temporal features of speech may in older adults be limited by impaired neural synchrony, slowed neural conduction time, reduced phase locking ability, or other mechanisms.

This study aims to examine the factors aﬀecting customer loyalty in Sumbawa city, Nusa Tenggara Barat province, Indonesia. This province become the driving factor of the Islamic bank market because it is dominated by 97% Muslims. Meanwhile, the independent factors include proﬁt sharing, service quality, transparency, and trust. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using multiple regression methods. The results showed that service quality, transparency, and trust positively aﬀect the customer loyalty of Islamic bank, while proﬁt sharing have no inﬂuence. Furthermore, Muslim ﬁnancial institutions are expected to use their best performance to increase customer loyalty. The practitioners and regulators can improve their performance and develop the Islamic ﬁnancial industry by considering the result above.
The Role of Equity Financing on the Proﬁtability of Indonesian Islamic Banks
Authors: Widarjono Agus 
Published: February 2022

Islamic banks provide ﬁnancing in the form of equity ﬁnancing and non-equity ﬁnancing. Equity ﬁnancing is proﬁt-loss sharing ﬁnancing which is the main core of Islamic bank business consisting of Mudharabah and Musyarakah. This paper examines the extent to which equity ﬁnancing aﬀects the proﬁtability of Islamic banks in Indonesia with the control variables consisting of bank-speciﬁc variables such as capital adequacy ratio, cost-income ratio, non-performing ﬁnancing, and macroeconomic conditions such as domestic output, exchange rate. This study employs aggregate data of Islamic banks from January 2010 to December 2019. The estimation method is the Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model. The results prove evidence of the long-run relationship between the dependent andindependent variables. The results show that total equity ﬁnancing increases Islamic banks' proﬁtability in Indonesia, but only Musyarakah ﬁnancing signiﬁcantly boosts proﬁtability. Furthermore, the bank-speciﬁc variables aﬀecting proﬁts are capital, eﬃciency, and nonperforming ﬁnancing. High capital adequacy ratio (CAR) reduces proﬁt and ineﬃcient Islamic banks and non-performing ﬁnancing lower proﬁt. Evidence also highlights that worse economic conditions through the economic downturn and sharp depreciation obviously lower the proﬁtability of Islamic banks. These results imply that Islamic banks must capitalize on Musyarakah ﬁnancing to support the performance of Islamic banks.

This research aims to determine the eﬀect of bank size (SIZE), proﬁtability (ROA), eﬃciency (EFF), non-performing ﬁnance (NPF), interest (INTR), and inﬂation (INFL) on proﬁt and loss sharing (PLS) ﬁnancing (equity ﬁnancing), and sale-purchase (SP) ﬁnancing (debt ﬁnancing) Islamic banks in Indonesia. Furthermore, monthly Islamic bank data in June 2014 to July 2020 was used. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method was used to determine the short and long-term eﬀects of the independent variables on the ﬁnancing variable. The results showed that ROA and EFF have a positive eﬀect on MRF but ROA and EFF have a negative eﬀect on MDA and MSF. NPF has a positive eﬀect on MDF, but has a negative eﬀect on MRF. Meanwhile, SIZE has a negative eﬀect on MDF, MDA, MRF, and MRA. The INTR has a negative eﬀect on MDA, MRF, and MRA. The implication of this research is that ﬁnancialperformance has more inﬂuence on debt ﬁnancing compared to equity ﬁnancing of Islamic banks in Indonesia.

Authors: D. Pestano Rayvin 
Published: February 2022

This study assessed the Technological self-efficacy of 26 junior high school teachers of Physical Education and Health in Juan R. Liwag Memorial High School. Methodology: using descriptive correlational research design, their socio-demographic characteristics, level of their technological self-efficacy and performance rating were the variables of the study. Quantitative data were gathered using a questionnaire as the main instrument. In terms of sampling method, total enumeration sampling was utilized. Findings: Majority of the respondents were female, young with educational attainment varying from bachelor’s degree to master’s degree and have been in the service from 1-10 years. Overall technological self-efficacy was low level in the five components namely; technological knowledge, technological content knowledge, technological pedagogical knowledge and technological pedagogical content knowledge and high in pedagogical knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge. Pedagogical knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge had a positive relationship with performance rating. On the other hand, technological knowledge, technological content knowledge, technological pedagogical knowledge and technological pedagogical content knowledge were found to be negatively correlated with performance rating. Technological content knowledge was found to be predictive of physical education and health teacher’s performance rating. Contribution and Recommendation: Thus, it is highly recommended to sustain and enhance the technological content knowledge of physical education and health teachers since it is detrimental to their performance.

Chronic Pain and Opioid Prescribing: Three Ways for Navigating Complexity at the Clinical‒Population Health Interface
Authors: Sud Abhimanyu , Buchman Daniel Z. , Furlan Andrea D. , Selby Peter , Spithoff Sheryl M. , Upshur Ross E. G. 
Published: February 2022

Clinically focused interventions for people living with pain, such as health professional education, clinical decision support systems, prescription drug monitoring programs, and multidisciplinary care to support opioid tapering, have all been promoted as important solutions to the North American opioid crisis. Yet none have so far delivered substantive beneficial opioid-related population health outcomes. In fact, while total opioid prescribing has leveled off or reduced in many jurisdictions, population-level harms from opioids have continued to increase dramatically.We attribute this failure partly to a poor recognition of the epistemic and ethical complexities at the interface of clinical and population health. We draw on a framework of knowledge networks in wicked problems to identify 3 strategies to help navigate these complexities: (1) designing and evaluating clinically focused interventions as complex interventions, (2) reformulating evidence to make population health dynamics apparent, and (3) appealing to the inseparability of facts and values to support decision-making in uncertainty.We advocate that applying these strategies will better equip clinically focused interventions as complements to structural and public health interventions to achieve the desired beneficial population health effects.

Published: February 2022

Case:
We report on a 19-year-old male renal transplant patient with multiple medical issues who sustained simultaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon ruptures and bilateral femoral neck fractures after 2 generalized tonic-clonic seizures. The quadriceps tendon ruptures were detected early surgically repaired; the femoral neck fractures were not detected and managed with bilateral total hip arthroplasty for almost 2 weeks.

Conclusion:
Tonic-clonic seizures can be associated with unique and complex acute orthopaedic injuries that can be initially missed. Physicians should be cognizant of the need for a thorough medical history and physical examination to avoid orthopaedic postseizure missed diagnoses.
Individual and Community Level Factors Related to HIV Diagnosis, Treatment, and Stigma in Kumasi, Ghana: A Field Report
Authors: Mosley Cameran , Ofori Emmanuel , Andrews Caylin , Armstrong-Mensah Elizabeth 
Published: February 2022

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a public health issue globally and in Ghana. While efforts are underway to reduce HIV prevalence in Ghana, there are still some HIV-related issues (duration lived with HIV, mode of HIV diagnosis, HIV status disclosure, HIV treatment, HIV knowledge, and HIV prevention and stigma) that need to be addressed. The purpose of the field study was to examine individual and community level factors related to HIV diagnosis, treatment, and stigma in Kumasi, Ghana. Specifically, we conducted a field-based comparison of HIV-related issues in Kumasi and the US to determine areas of similarities and differences. Since our focus was the Kumasi district in general, and the Suntreso Government Hospital in particular, we used convenient sampling. Thus, study results are not generalizable to the entire population of Ghana. Given the short duration of the entire field study (three weeks) and the fact that most information on the HIV-related issues focused in Ghana are available in the US, secondary data from various sources were used for the US comparison. Results from the study showed that 29.2% of participants in Kumasi had lived with HIV for seven or more years, while data from the US showed that people generally live with HIV for 20 years or more after testing positive for the disease. Most of the study participants in Kumasi (68.5%) stated that they were diagnosed with HIV through a laboratory blood sample test, while rapid antibody and ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) tests were found to be the most commonly used methods in HIV diagnosis in the US. The majority of participants living with HIV in Kumasi (71.7%) and the US (67%) were concerned about their friends and family knowing of their HIV status. Unlike the US where patient assisted programs administered by pharmaceutical companies offer free to lowly priced HIV medication to low-income people living with HIV (PLWH), 92.7% of PLWH in Kumasi had free access to HIV medication. HIV-related stigma was an issue in both Kumasi and the US.

DNA extraction protocol for low-biomass environmental samples: adapted from the Lucigen MasterPure Complete DNA and RNA Purification Kit manual
Authors: Shen Jiaxian , Hartmann Erica M. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Microbial samples collected from built environment surfaces can be very low-biomass. This poses a critical challenge to extract valid signals out of the background noises for downstream analyses. Upon comparing and optimizing several extraction methods, our results demonstrated that bead-beating and heat lysis followed by liquid-liquid extraction was the optimal method, as opposed to widely used column- and magnetic bead-based methods. Adapted from the Lucigen MasterPure Complete DNA and RNA Purification Kit manual, this protocol demonstrates detailed points that merit special attention for low-biomass environmental samples.

Abstract
Background: The study aimed to detect the serum levels of fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) in fatty pancreas (FP) patients and to investigate their potential clinical value.Methods: We screened patients with FP using transabdominal ultrasound. The anthropometric, biochemical and serum levels of FGF-21 were compared between the FP group and the normal control (NC) group. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum FGF-21 for FP patients. Results: Compared with the NC group, body mass index, fasting blood glucose levels, uric acid levels and cholesterol levels of the FP group were significantly higher, while the high-density lipoprotein level was lower. In addition, levels of serum FGF-21, resistin, leptin and tumor necrosis factor-α were significantly higher than those in the NC group, while the serum adiponectin level was lower. Pearson analysis showed serum FGF-21 levels in FP patients were negatively correlated with leptin and cholesterol. The ROC curve showed the best critical value of the serum FGF-21 level in FP patients was 187.85 pg/mL (AUC 0.716, P=0.002, 95% confidence intervals 0.611-0.820). Conclusion: Serum FGF-21 was closely related to fatty pancreas. Detecting serum FGF-21 levels may help identify the population susceptible to FP.
