Authors: Thiessen Maclean , Harris Daranne , Tang Patricia , Raffin Bouchal Shelley , Sinclair Shane 
Published: September 2022

Background
Information needs are one of the most prevalent unmet supportive care needs of those living with cancer, including patients and their informal caregivers. Understanding how existing questionnaires for evaluating information needs have been developed is important for guiding appropriate use and informing future research. A literature review examining how information needs assessment questionnaires for use in the cancer context have been developed, with a specific focus on how questionnaire items have been identified, does not exist.

Objective
This scoping review will examine how questionnaires for assessing the information needs of those living with cancer have been developed with special focus on how patients, informal caregivers, and health care professionals have been involved in the selection and identification of questionnaire items.

Methods
This review will include published studies describing the development and validation of information needs assessment questionnaires for use in the oncology context. MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and PsycInfo will be searched. Articles published at any point up to the date of the search will be eligible for inclusion. One person will screen titles and abstracts, and 2 people will screen and extract data from full-text articles.

Results
Results are expected to be available in early 2023. Summary tables and a narrative summary will be used to describe results.

Conclusions
This scoping review will assist in identifying appropriate information needs assessment tools to incorporate into clinical and research contexts in oncology. It will also identify if additional information needs assessment tools are needed.

Authors: Listyani R.A. T. , Putranto Thomas Triadi 
Published: September 2022

Bagelen and its surrounding area are parts of the Kulon Progo Hills which have less water potential. However, groundwater can still be obtained from dug wells or several springs in the hills. This study aims to determine the quality of groundwater in the study area as clean water and drinking water. Hydrogeological surveys have been conducted to see the quality of this groundwater. Groundwater samples were taken from six dug wells and two springs. Groundwater can be found in sandstone, limestone and andesite breccias aquifers, through intergrains and cracks porosities. Groundwater usually has Ca-bicarbonate facies. The need for good quality groundwater for drinking and clean water has been investigated based on the WQI value. The WQI value is determined based on several physical parameters, including turbidity and TDS and chemical parameters such as pH, Fe, hardness, Mn, nitrate, Zn, sulfate, chloride and sodium. Based on the Minister of Health Regulation standard No. 492/2010 for drinking water and No. 32/2017 for clean water, the groundwater showed good - excellent value for drinking water and excellent value for clean water.

Authors: Park Joohyun , Bigman Elizabeth T. , Zhang Ping 
Published: September 2022

<p> </p>
<p><strong>Objective</strong></p>
<p>To estimate productivity losses and costs and medical costs due to type 2 diabetes (T2D) among employees aged 18–64 years. </p>
<p><strong>Research Design and Methods</strong></p>
<p>Using 2018-2019 MarketScan® databases, we identified employees with T2D or no diabetes among those with records on workplace absences, short-term disability (STD), and long-term disability (LTD). We estimated per capita mean annual time loss attributable to T2D and their associated costs, calculated by multiplying time loss by average hourly wage. We estimated direct medical costs of T2D in total and by service type (inpatient, outpatient, and prescription drugs). We used two-part models (productivity losses and costs and inpatient and drug costs) and generalized linear models (total and outpatient costs) for overall and subgroup analyses by age and sex. All costs were in 2019 USD. </p>
<p><strong>Results</strong></p>
<p>Employees with T2D had 4.2 excess days lost (20.8 vs 20.3 absences, 6.4 vs 3.3 STD days, and 1.0 vs 0.4 LTD days) than those without diabetes. Productivity costs were 13.3% ($680) higher and medical costs were double (total $11,354 vs $5,101; outpatient $4,558 vs $2,687, inpatient $3,085 vs $1,349, prescription drugs $4,182 vs $1,189) for employees with T2D. Employees aged 18−34 years had higher STD days and outpatient costs. Females had more absences and STD days and higher outpatient costs than males. </p>
<p><strong>Conclusions</strong></p>
<p>T2D contributes nearly $7,000 higher annual per capita costs, mostly due to excess medical costs. Our estimates may assist employers to assess potential financial gains from efforts to help workers prevent or better manage T2D. </p>

Published: September 2022

In keeping with the New Public Management dispensation, state corporations in Kenya have taken up strategic planning with a view to effect reforms for improved service delivery. Despite this, service delivery in the Agribusiness sub-sector in the country is riddled with inadequacies highlighted by among other complaints, unpaid produce supplies, dwindling finances, slumped agricultural extension services, and low produce prices. The study sought to specifically establish the effect of strategic planning on service delivery among agribusiness state corporations in Kenya. Grounded on the new public management theory, the study adopted the positivism paradigm and the descriptive cross-sectional research design. The study targeted all institutional heads from the 73 state corporations in the agribusiness sub-sector in Kenya. The study mainly employed inferential analysis. It was established from a simple linear regression that strategic planning has a significant and positive influence on service delivery. Based on the findings, it is recommended that policymakers in the country set a minimum budgetary allocation for state corporations directed towards strategic planning. The study also recommends that administrations across state corporations in the country offer administrative support to the departments and staff tasked with the formulation of strategic plans.

Authors: Duropan Aida , San Jose Ariel E. 
Published: September 2022

Understanding the attitudes and perceptions of neophytes teachers gives educational institutions relevant measures on how their teachers could adjust and succeed, especially during the time of the pandemic. This study aimed to explore and decipher the neophyte language teachers' experiences in adapting blended learning to the new normal. To obtain this purpose, the researcher used the qualitative-hermeneutic phenomenological method. Fifteen neophyte language teachers who handled Filipino, English, and Mother-Tongue were purposively chosen. Focus group discussions were conducted to obtain pertinent information for the study. Thematic analysis revealed five themes: apprehension of the implementation of blended learning, adaptation to the new situation, perception of flexible learning, the complication of flexible learning, and formation of values. It revealed that most neophyte language teachers were initially perplexed at the onset and slowly accepted their new situation. Despite the challenges, they saw silver-lining. One of their biggest struggles was the module submission by the students. They were optimistic that sooner or later the situation will calm down. The whole experiences of the neophyte language teachers had similarities with the researchers. The findings gave a good realization that academic institutions need to make foresight of the future so that they are prepared for unexpected events.

Authors: Majondo Safar Stephano , Mataba Lucas , Mmari Goodluck 
Published: September 2022

The Central Bank of Tanzania (BoT) has undergone various bank regulations reviews at different periods of time including 2008 and 2014 reviews. After the reviews some banks have shown low compliances, collapsed and merged while others have shown high compliances and greater performance. This study therefore, intended to assess how commercial banks in Tanzania benefits from complying with new regulatory requirements and to determine to what extent does compliance costs affects banks performance. The study employed an exploratory research design using the sample size of 24 commercial banks selected from Dar es Salaam headquarters; however, only 13 key informants were successfully reached. Primary data were collected from compliance and risk management managers using interview guide. Thematic analysis was used for data analysis and findings from the study show that most banks have well benefited with the new regulatory requirements in terms of increase in profit, expansion of more branches, ATMs and increase in number of customers. Considering the compliance costs; findings show that to some extent some new regulatory requirements reviews have increased operating costs to most banks. The study recommends that banks should carefully design strategies which will help them to control NPL, manage and increase more capital and liquidity requirements. To the regulator the study recommends that; BoT should think of reviewing liquidity requirements and cash reserve ratio which seem to be too high and costly for most banks to afford. The BoT can also introduce separate capital adequacy requirements as per bank size.

Authors: Alfaro Cardenas Pedro Fernando , Guimet Castro Marisut , Malaspina Quevedo Martín 
Published: September 2022

Introduction. In Peru, there are few studies that include individual differences between students to explain their academic performance at the beginning of formal schooling. For that reason, the aim of the present study was to predict the perceived academic performance of a group of students based on the following variables: effortful control (EC) and school liking (SL).

Method. A sample of 423 students, between 5 and 8 years old (M = 6.29, SD = 0.89), was gathered from public schools in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas in Lima. A total of 45 teachers gave information about their perceptions regarding the study variables in their respective students.

Results. The hierarchical linear regression analysis results show that both effortful control and school liking are positive and significant predictors of perceived academic performance, even after controlling for students’ cognitive skills and their mothers’ educational level.

Discussion and Conclusion. Possible explanations for these findings and their relevance in the Peruvian context are discussed.

Authors: Saepudin Uu , Hartati Gini , Nur Bakri Syahban 
Published: September 2022

Salah satu sifat penting beton adalah daktilitas. Daktilitas beton yang rendah memiliki penurunan kekuatan tekan yang cepat pada daerah beban pascapuncak, sehingga menyebabkan keruntuhan terjadi tiba-tiba. Penambahan serat yang mempunyai modulus elastisitas yang lebih rendah dari modulus elastisitas matrik beton diharapkan dapat membuat beton lebih daktail. Penggunaan serat untuk memperkuat material yang getas telah lama dikenal. Serat yang umum dipergunakan antara lain terbuat dari baja, polymer atau fiber glass. Salah satu jenis serat yang dapat dipakai adalah serat polymeric. Hasil pengamatan di lapangan, bahwa serat polymeric dapat memperbaiki kinerja beton.
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui pengaruh penambahan serat polymeric terhadap kuat tekan dan kuat lentur beton dan mengetahui kadar penggunaan serat polymeric yang optimum sehingga dihasilkan kuat tekan dan kuat lentur beton maksimum sebagai material perkerasan kaku (rigid pavement). Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode eksperimen. Penelitian dirancang dengan 5 perlakukan untuk uji kuat tekan dan 5 perlakuan untuk uji kuat lentur, masing – masing di ulang 3 kali. Perlakuan yang diuji cobakan yaitu beton dengan penambahan serat polymeric 0%, 2%, 4%, 6% dan 8%.
Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa penambahan serat Polymeric berpengaruh terhadap kuat tekan dan kuat lentur beton, di mana terjadi kenaikan kuat tekan dan kuat lentur beton pada variasi penambahan serat Polymeric 2% dan 4% dengan menghasilkan kuat tekan beton pada umur 7 hari sebesar 18,89 Mpa dan 19,48 Mpa, sedangkan pada umur 28 hari sebesar 29,06 MPa dan 29,97 Mpa serta menghasilkan kuat lentur beton pada umur 7 hari sebesar 2,31Mpa dan 2,53 Mpa, sedangkan pada umur 28 hari sebesar 3,55 Mpa dan 3,89 Mpa, ini memenuhi kuat lentur yang disyaratkan sebesar 3,78 Mpa ( memenuhi standar sebagai material perkerasan kaku). Penambahan serat Polymeric yang optimum adalah 2.8% menghasilkan kuat tekan beton maksimum sebesar 29,45 MPa dan kuat lentur beton maksimum sebesar 3,73 Mpa.

Published: September 2022

Objectives:
The objectives of the study were to provide normal values of the Torg-Pavlov ratio (TPR) of the lumbar spine in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the Jordanian population and examine differences observed according to factors including age, gender, lumbar level, dural sac area, or ethnic group.

Material and Methods:
Two hundred and eighteen lumbar MRIs from the Picture Archiving and Communication System were reviewed. These were collected from three main governmental hospitals, in North, Central, and South of Jordan. The mid-sagittal diameters of the vertebral body, spinal canal, and dural canal area were measured at all levels. Patients’ gender and age were documented as well. Exclusion criteria were kyphoscoliosis alignments disorders, lumbar spinal canal compression regardless of the cause, vertebral bony disease (including fractures), and the presence of technical artifacts. Statistical analyses used descriptive and correlational methods. Comparisons were made between genders, age groups, lumbar level, dural sac area in the study population using independent t-test and one-way ANOVA tests, and between ethnicities by reviewing previous reports on subjects of different ethnicities.

Results:
The mean TPR ratio for the study participants was 0.4502 ± 0.097. The value of TPR was widest in the 20–29-year-old group at all vertebral levels and in both males and females. Females had a significantly wider TPR than males (P = 0.003) in all age groups. TPR differed significantly between the five vertebral levels (P = 0.026). The difference in TPR between age groups was not statistically significant. TPR showed a positive significant correlation with dural sac (r = 0.203, P = 0.003). Comparison with the previous literature demonstrated variation in the TPR where Jordanian population had a lower TPR in comparison with Negros and Caucasoids whereas similar to Koreans, especially in females.

Conclusion:
There are significant differences in TPR according to gender, dural sac area, lumbar spinal level (except between L1 and L2), and ethnic group, but no significant difference with the age was found. The present study has identified normal values of Torg’s ratio in the Jordanian population. Although the study may not be able to provide clear guidelines for use in clinical practice, it has still highlighted possible between countries variations and has identified differences in these values to different factors. Implications on clinical practice could be reflected on the diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis or on predicting the prognosis of lumbar spine injury.
