Published: July 2022

Penelitian kali ini memiliki tujuan untuk mengungkapkan bagaimana manajemen sumber daya manusia di Biro Cahaya Samarinda yang terdiri dari: perencanaan sumber daya manusia, proses konsultasi bersama psikolog disana, melakukan proses pengaturan terhadap klien yang datang, seperti apa psikolog mendapatkan pelatihan, hambatan apa saja yang hadir semenjak biro ini didirikan. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif. Subjek dalam penelitian ini ialah psikolog Biro Cahaya. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara bebas yang mana langsung oleh pemilik Biro Cahaya Samarinda dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa Biro Cahaya Samarinda hanya memiliki 3 psikolog termasuk pendirinya dan sudah cukup lama berdiri. Klien yang datang ingin konsultasi sebelumnya akan mengatur janji dulu dengan admin Biro Cahaya melalui online yaitu media whatsapp atau datang langsung ke biro dihari sebelumnya. Psikolog di biro hanya mampu melayani 2-3 klien sehari dengan satu klien satu psikolog. Adapun pelatihan yang didapatkan psikolog di Biro Cahaya mereka mencari pelatihan-pelatihan secara eksternal. Adanya hambatan di Biro Cahaya masih kurang sumber daya psikolognya sendiri, banyaknya klien yang berdatangan membuat Biro Cahaya hanya menerima 2-3 klien perharinya membuat Biro Cahaya harus mencari psikolog dari luar dan mengatur kehari selanjutnya karena kurangnya psikolog untuk bisa melayani klien, tidak menerimanya tenaga-tenaga bantuan dari luar seperti misalnya mahasiswa-mahsiswa magang yang berjurusan psikolog atau konseling di biro ini, membuat biro ini sedikit kewalahan dalam melayani klien. Dan tidak adanya pelatihan di internal Biro Cahaya sendiri untuk para psikolognya, para psikolog harus mengikuti pelatihan secara eksternal.

Introduction: Physical activity is a predictor of the health outcomes of the older adults, and many approaches have been introduced for its implementation. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of group physical games on life quality (QOL) of older adults at an adult day care center.

Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted using pre-test and post-test. Using convenience sampling, a total of 50 senior citizens above 60 years of age from two adult daycare centers of Babol and Amol in 2017 was placed in an intervention (25) and a control (25) group, respectively. The intervention group received physical games program twice a week for 6 weeks. The SF12 questionnaire was used to assess the QOL. The statistical analysis of the variables was carried out using t-tests, Wilcoxon, and Mann-Whitney tests at a significant level (P < 0.05) with SPSS software.

Results: The QOL scores of the participants in the intervention group, compared to the control group have significantly improved (p < 0.001). The calculated difference for the quality of life of the intervention group was (d = 4.40± 2.36) being (d = 1.68± 1.74) and (d = 2.72± 1.51) in the physical and mental aspects, respectively.

Conclusion: Physical exercise program (especially stationary physical game) can improve the quality of life of the older adults both physically and mentally. Therefore, such activities can be used to improve the quality of life of the older adults.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Dizziness may be associated with negative health outcomes. This study aimed to determine the associations between dizziness and mental and physical health outcomes in middle-aged and older community-dwelling adults in India.

Methods: Cross-sectional data from 72,262 individuals (≥ 45 years) of the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) Wave 1 in 2017-2018 were analyzed. Dizziness was assessed with the question of having persistent or troublesome dizziness or light headedness in the past two years.

Results: More than one in seven participants (13.7%) reported past 2-years dizziness. In adjusted logistic, linear and Poisson regression analyses, dizziness was associated with worse self-rated health status, lower life satisfaction, major depressive disorder, insomnia symptoms and severe fatigue. Regarding physical health, dizziness increased the odds of pain conditions, cardiovascular conditions, chronic lung disease, functional limitations, fall history, hearing loss, impaired vision and higher number of medications currently used. In addition, in the unadjusted analysis, dizziness was negatively associated with cognitive functioning.

Conclusion: Dizziness was associated with six poor mental health and eight poor physical health outcomes. Findings support multidimensional management of dizziness in the general population.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Aging is associated with biological changes and may lead to various cognitive behavioural disorders such as insomnia and depression. Non-pharmacological interventions with pharmacological therapies would be effective, economical, and safe. The present study compared the effect of muscle strength-range of movement (MSROM) training and digital game on insomnia and depression disorders in older women and men.

Methods: This was a quasi-experimental pre/post- intervention. After recruitment invitations and screening, 92 participants were randomly assigned into three groups including physical training (PT; n = 31), mental training (MT; n = 30) and control group (CG; n = 31). Insomnia and depression were measured by insomnia severity index and geriatric depression scale (short form), respectively. The training programs were held 3 days per week for 8 weeks. Physical training began with 25 minutes in the first week and finished with 60 minutes in the eighth week using Borg rating of perceived exertion within the desired 13 to 15 range. A mental game has been launched on Android operating systems on cell phones/tablets which consisted of 4 games with 3 levels. Differences in variables were assessed via Factorial ANOVA and Bonferroni post hoc test (p ≤ 0.05).

Results: The Bonferroni post-hoc test revealed significant decreases in PT compared with CG in men (p = 0.010) and women (p = 0.038) regarding insomnia. Furthermore, there were significant decreases in PT compared with CG (p = 0.005) and PT compared with MT (p = 0.003) in men regarding depression; Significant decreases were also observed through comparing PT with CG (p = 0.043) in women regarding depression.

Conclusion: Findings demonstrated that MSROM training improved moderate insomnia and mild depression compared to smart thinker training in older women and men regardless of gender.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: The elders need proper medical and psychiatric care and attention, so choosing a suitable therapeutic approach for their psychological care, especially in those with cognitive impairment, will be effective in improving psychological symptoms and their health. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation on agitation, apathy and cognitive function.

Methods: This quasi-experimental study carried out among male elders with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in Kahrizak Charity nursing home in Alborz province in 2020. A sample of 36 male elders with MCI was purposefully selected and randomly assigned to experimental (n = 18) and control (n = 18) groups. Data were collected through Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory; Apathy Evaluation Scale and Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Basic. The intervention group received 8 sessions of 90 minutes, cognitive rehabilitation based on kelly and O'Sullivan's cognitive rehabilitation strategies and techniques.

Results: After controlling the mean scores of the pretest, a significant difference was observed in agitation (96.6 vs 101.9) apathy (30.02 vs 34.10) and cognitive function (19.60 vs 16.80) between experimental and control groups. This means that cognitive rehabilitation reduced agitation and apathy with effect sizes of 0.42 and 0.54 respectively and increased cognitive function with an effect size of 0.65.

Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation in reducing agitation, apathy and increasing cognitive function of the participants, cognitive rehabilitation is suggested to improve individual functioning and interpersonal relationships in the elderly with MCI.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Nurses are always involved with caring for elderly patients. They need to increase their knowledge and skills in the field of aging to provide effective care to elderly patients. Moreover, attitudes of nurses affect the quality of care for elderly people. Some interventions such as education are effective tools for improving nurses' knowledge and attitudes to better understand the problems of the elderly. The present study aims at determining the effect of teaching fundamentals of geriatric life on nurses' knowledge and attitudes toward aging.

Methods: This was a quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest with control group study. It was performed on 91 nurses working in Meybod (44 nurses) and Ardakan Hospitals (47 nurses). Training sessions on fundamentals of geriatric life were conducted for the experimental group. The training program consisted of five training sessions in the field of geriatrics . Data collection instruments included: Palmore's Facts on Aging Quiz, and Kogan's Attitude Toward Older People Scale, which were completed three times before, immediately after, and two months after the intervention for both groups.

Results: There was no significant difference in knowledge between the two groups before the intervention (p = 0.792). Yet, the knowledge score immediately and two months after the intervention showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.01). The mean score of attitude before intervention was no significant difference between groups (p = 0.069). However, there was a significant difference in attitude score immediately and two months after the intervention between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.01).

Conclusion: Teaching fundamentals of geriatric nursing to nurses improved their knowledge and attitudes toward the problems and needs of the elderls. Using retraining courses in the field of aging is recommended for nurses.

Authors: Serrano-Martínez Enrique , Quispe Marco 
Published: July 2022

El estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la presencia de anticuerpos frente a Toxoplasma gondii en bovinos de engorde
destinados al consumo humano. Las variables de clasificación consideradas en el estudio fueron: grupo etario (de
2 a 3 años, más de 3 a 4 años y más de 4 años), sexo (hembra y macho), raza (Holstein, Brown Swiss y Mestizo/ Criollo) y ubicación del matadero (Norte, Sur, Oeste y Este de Lima). Para ello se extrajo muestras de sangre de 385 bovinos en cuatro mataderos oficiales de Lima, Perú. Los sueros obtenidos fueron analizados mediante la técnica de Inmunofluorescencia Indirecta (IFAT), considerando como positivos a animales con título de anticuerpos igual o mayor a la dilución 1:100. Los resultados demostraron que el 32,2 ± 4,7% (124/385) de bovinos presentaron anticuerpos contra T. gondii, no encontrándose asociación entre las categorías de las variables de clasificación y la frecuencia de seroreactores. La titulación de anticuerpos entre bovinos positivos evidenció animales con reacción positiva máxima a la dilución de 1/100 (63,7%, 79/124), 1/200 (17,7%, 22/124), 1/400 (10,5%, 13/124), 1:800 (4,8%, 6/124), 1:1600 (2,4%, 3/124) y 1:3200 (0,8%, 1/124) mediante IFAT. El estudio evidenció la presencia de seroreactores al parásito T. gondii en bovinos de engorde destinados al consumo humano, el mismo que se transmite a través del consumo de carne cruda o poco cocida, sea esta procedente de bovinos u otra especie. El estudio aporta evidencia que permite justificar la necesidad de elaborar medidas sanitarias dirigidas a asegurar la inocuidad de los productos alimenticios y/o minimizar los posibles riesgos que pueda significar el consumo de estos productos cárnicos.

Authors: Ewing Michael , Huff Haley , Heil Sally , Borsheski Robert R. , Smith Matthew J. , Kim H. Mike 
Published: July 2022

Background:
While providing effective analgesia following shoulder arthroplasty, an interscalene block has known complications. Local infiltration analgesia (LIA) using ropivacaine has been successfully employed in other joint arthroplasties, but its efficacy in shoulder arthroplasty has not been studied extensively. The purpose of this study was to compare pain and opioid consumption between LIA and an interscalene block following shoulder arthroplasty.

Methods:
Patients undergoing primary shoulder arthroplasty were prospectively randomized into 2 groups: the block group received an interscalene block using liposomal bupivacaine, and the injection group received an LIA injection intraoperatively. The LIA injection included ropivacaine, epinephrine, ketorolac, and normal saline solution. Postoperative visual analog scale pain scores, opioid consumption in morphine milligram equivalents, and complications were compared between the groups. The mean pain scores during the first 24 hours postoperatively were used to test noninferiority of LIA compared with an interscalene block.

Results:
The study included 74 patients (52 men and 22 women with a mean age of 69 years; 37 were in the injection group and 37 in the block group). There was no significant difference between the groups with respect to pain scores at any postoperative time points (p > 0.05), except for the 8-hour time point, when the injection group had a significantly higher pain score than the block group (p = 0.01). There was no significant difference in opioid consumption between the groups at any time points postoperatively (p > 0.05). The amount of intraoperative opioid consumption was significantly higher in the injection group (p < 0.001). In noninferiority testing for the mean pain scores during the first 24 hours, the injection group was found to be noninferior to the block group. One patient in the block group developed transient phrenic nerve palsy. One patient in the injection group developed dislocation after reverse arthroplasty related to noncompliance. The mean procedure hospital charge was $1,718 for an interscalene block and $157 for LIA.

Conclusions:
LIA and an interscalene block provided similar analgesia during the first 24 hours after primary shoulder arthroplasty. LIA was associated with worse pain at 8 hours postoperatively and more intraoperative opioid consumption but was also substantially less costly.

Published: July 2022

This study focused on the socio-economic and household characteristics associated with work-family conflict among female primary school teachers in Enugu state, Nigeria. Cross-sectional and correlational study design were used to collect data from 2428 female primary school teachers in Enugu state, Nigeria. Structured questionnaire was used to obtain data on socio-economic and household characteristics, while Work and Family Conflict Scale was used to assess work-family conflict in the dimensions of work to family, family to work and overall work and family interference. Analyses were performed using IBM-SPSS version 23 software. Descriptive data were presented as frequencies and percentages, while Chi square was used to test the hypotheses at p < 0.05. Result showed that 23% of the respondents experienced work-family conflict with higher rate (29.9%) of work to family conflict than 25.1% of family to work conflict. Higher salary, urban location, living in ≥ 2-bedroom apartment and using communal toilet and bathroom at home were socio-economic factors significantly (p < 0.05) associated with increase in all the dimensions of work-family conflict. On the other hand, household characteristics associated with higher work-family conflict include; having dependent children, age of oldest child > 12 years old, caring for chronically ill family members, and uneasy accessibility of household water supply. Caring for the elderly and having house helps were associated with increased work to family conflict while household size was not found a factor in any dimension of work-family conflict.
Treatability of biodiesel wastewaters by using KMnO4 and KMnO4/O3 processes and kinetic analysis
Authors: Tanatti N. Pınar 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the treatability of electrocoagulated biodiesel wastewater (ECBD) by KMnO4 and KMnO4/O3 processes. The ECBD removal efficiencies of both KMnO4/O3 and KMnO4 methods were compared, and the COD and MeOH removal efficiencies with the KMnO4/O3 process gave better results than the KMnO4 process. For the ECBD removal efficiencies, the experimental parameters including pH, KMnO4 dose, O3 dose and reaction time were optimized by changing one parameter at a time. As a result of 6 h of KMnO4 oxidation, 91.74% of COD and 95.93% of MeOH removal was achieved under the optimum conditions. However, the COD and MeOH removal efficiencies have been obtained under optimum conditions for KMnO4/O3 as 97.79% and 98.30%, respectively. The second-order kinetic model has been found to be the most suitable model for both processes and the R2 has been found as 0.999 and 0.999 for KMnO4 and KMnO4/O3, respectively. The reaction k has also been calculated as 6 × 10−5 L·mg−1·min−1 and 1.63 × 10−4 L·mg−1·min−1 for COD and MeOH in KMnO4 oxidation, respectively. Furthermore, the k has also been calculated as 6 × 10−5 L·mg−1·min−1 and 1.6 × 10−4 L·mg−1·min−1 for COD and MeOH in KMnO4/O3 oxidation, respectively.
