First Case Report of an Idiopathic Systemic Capillary Leak Syndrome (Clarkson’s Disease) in Morocco

Background: The idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (ISCLS), also known as Clarkson disease, is an extremely infrequent and commonly misdiagnosed disease. This rare disorder is characterized by paroxysmal capillary hyperpermeability with diffuse severe oedema and hypovolemia, along with hemoconcentration and hypoalbuminemia. Case Summary: A 60-year-old Moroccan man was admitted to our hospital, presenting with a severe hypovolemic shock associated with diffuse ede- matous syndrome following an emotional shock. Laboratory tests showed hemoconcentration, hypoalbuminemia, and a monoclonal gammopathy in the electrophoresis of proteins, while all other laboratory tests were normal. During hospitalization, the patient was conditioned and monitored with careful volume expansion using synthetic colloids and an ascites puncture was performed. After excluding other pathologies, the clinical presenta- tion was consistent with the diagnosis of ISCLS. Recurrent episodes were reported before the patient’s death. Conclusion: The idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome is a potentially life threatening disease with a high mortality. The pathophysiology of this condition remains unclear despite all previous attempts at clarification. Knowledge of the limited treatment options is crucial for patients’ prognosis and overall survival. This report aims to raise awareness of ISCLS.

Entrepreneurial emotional bias from mass shootings: Evidence from Kickstarter

This study examines the impact of emotional bias on entrepreneurial decisions in crowdfunding platforms, specifically considering the impact of mass shootings as exogenous emotional shocks. Using data from a leading crowdfunding platform, Kickstarter, paired with US mass shooting incidents, we apply a difference-in-differences approach. Our analysis shows that entrepreneurs in cities proximate to a mass shooting tend to adjust their fundraising targets downward. This adjustment subsequently increases the likelihood of campaign success, a trend that is even more pronounced for projects tied to the geographic location of the mass shooting incident. Our findings not only attest to the profound influence of emotions in crowdfunding decisions, but also unveil the nuanced, varying effects based on geographic relevance. This research underscores the importance of understanding and addressing such biases to bolster crowdfunding platform efficiency and to support the consistent success of crowdfunded enterprises.

범죄피해자 심리지원의 실태 및 개선방안

Recently, in April 2024, there was a shocking report about a teenager being stabbed by a neighbor in his 50s due to inter-floor noise conflict in an apartment complex, resulting in serious injuries and traumatic distress. The psychological shock experienced by victims of violent crimes like this is beyond imagination, necessitating a response. While the Crime Victim Protection Act is being enforced, providing financial and psychological support, it's time for proactive measures from the perspective of victims' human rights. Historically, the judicial system in Korea has prioritized the rights of suspects and defendants, often neglecting the needs of the victims.

Post Covid-19 pandemic analysis offline classes versus online classes: Conflicts in early childhood education in Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic

Early childhood education in Indonesia is an area that parents are beginning to show interest in for preparing their children to progress to the next stage of education. The learning process involves selfdevelopment, cognitive training, emotional training, psychomotor training, and social interaction training, fostering independence in children during their playtime. Early childhood education differs from other levels as it emphasizes play while still incorporating learning. However, the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2019 has significantly impacted early childhood education, leading to the implementation of online classes. This change has affected not only students, who are in an age group susceptible to the disease, but also young children who may struggle to grasp the meaning of the Covid19 virus, unlike adults. Research objectives: a. To analyze early childhood responses to online learning. b. To investigate the impact of online teaching and learning activities on early childhood education in Indonesia. Utilizing qualitative research methods, this study is described through descriptive analysis based on a literature review and an examination of social phenomena. Children experience psychological shock when transitioning to home-based learning, missing the presence of teachers and friends, resulting in boredom and a lack of motivation to complete assignments. This psychological impact extends to parents, particularly mothers, who now have the responsibility of teaching their children at home, a role previously handled by teachers at school. Online classes are considered the optimal solution to curb the spread of Covid-19 in early childhood environments. The conflict between online and offline classes in the realm of early childhood education forms the basis of this research article.

Challenges and opportunities of Facebook during bereavement: experiences from Taung in South Africa

Bereavement is something that we experience in one way or another. It involves many steps from one culture to the other. Many scholars have documented the role of social media tools in bereavement processes. In this study, I look at the challenges and opportunities offered by Facebook during bereavement, especially in a community that is still traditional and has yet to fully comprehend the importance of social media, particularly in matters considered sacred. The study used interviews with residents from Taung to collect data. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the collected data from the interviews. The study findings indicate some challenges associated with bereavement on Facebook: emotional shock, lack of sensitivity, misinformation, and cultural dilution. There are also opportunities: fast news sharing, ongoing emotional support, and sharing of memories. The study argues that the findings should expand our understanding and knowledge of bereavement in some African cultures and use social media tools to complement and not destroy African beliefs and practices.

Positive and negative emotional changes in newly recruited nurses within one year: A Longitudinal Study

Aims and objectives: To explore changes in positive and negative emotions among newly recruited nurses within one year of their employment. Background: New nurses often suffer great emotional shock during the period of adaptation. However, few studies have examined the positive and negative emotions of newly employed nursing staff (new graduated nurses and nurses had previous working experience) in the first year of their employment. Design: This study was a cross-sectional and partly prospective. Methods: This study examined a series of different emotions among newly employed nurses when they joined the hospital and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Convenience sampling was used to recruit participants from a tertiary hospital in China. A self-designed questionnaire was used to measure their emotional changes. Results: The emotional changes of nurses (N=172) within one year of employment have stages. The proportion of nurses with positive emotions decreased within 3 months of employment, increased after 3 months of employment, and gradually stabilized after 6 months of employment (p> 0.05).As a whole, the negative emotions of new nurses gradually eased with the extension of employment time, and the proportion of nurses with mild negative emotions increased within 3 months of employment, while the proportion of nurses with negative emotions decreased significantly within 3-6 months of employment (p<0.05). Conclusions: There is a significant stage difference in the positive and negative emotional responses of newly hired nurses. Relevance to clinical practice: Our study indicates that during the 3-6 months of their employment is the best time to intervene the emotional changes of newly recruited nurses. Nurse managers and head nurses must work together to support newly employed nurses in individualized emotional management, doing so to improve the nursing staff retention rate and reduce levels of negative emotions.

Emotions and inventor productivity: Evidence from terrorist attacks

AbstractWe examine whether the emotional shocks associated with terrorist attacks affect local inventors' productivity. We find that high‐fatality attacks make inventors less innovative, and low‐fatality attacks make them more innovative. Inventors living in high risk‐taking environments have greater increase in productivity following low‐fatality attacks, while less decrease in productivity following high‐fatality attacks. Further, the effect of terrorist attacks on inventor productivity comes mainly from exploratory innovation which involves more risks. Inventors affected by high‐fatality attacks are also more likely to move to places without any significant terrorist attack history, but there is no such effect for low‐fatality attacks.

Level and influencing factors of transition shock among new nurses in China: A multicenter cross-sectional study.

New nurses are an important part of nursing teams. The failure of new nurses to successfully transition seriously affects personal career development and nursing work quality, and important influencing factors deserve the attention of nursing managers. At present, multicenter, large-sample investigations of transition shock among new nurses are lacking in China. This study aims to investigate the current level and influencing factors of transition shock among new nurses in China. We conducted a multicenter, cross-sectional study with 3414 new nurses from 16 provinces in 7 regions in China from October 22, 2021, to November 8, 2021. We used the snowball sampling method and an online questionnaire produced by the researchers to collect data; the questionnaire included questions on demographic information, a transition shock scale for new nurses and open-ended questions. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 24. The effective response rate of this study was 97.89%, with 3342 effective participants from 189 hospitals in China, most of whom were female (94.88%). The study showed that the transition shock of new nurses in China was at a moderate level, with pre-job anxiety, unsatisfactory welfare treatment, resignation intention, adverse events, poor sleep quality, 1 or fewer exercise sessions per week, inability to balance work and life, and gluttony negatively affecting the transition shock of new nurses in China. Psychological shock was the strongest among the four dimensions of transition shock. The transition shock of new nurses, especially their psychological shock, deserves more attention from international society. Nursing managers should continue to take supportive measures to intervene in the factors influencing transition shock, with the aim of reducing the level of transition for new nurses, promoting their personal thriving, improving the quality of nursing work and increasing the retention rate of nurses.

Development and Validation of a Clinical Practicum Transition Shock Scale (CPT-Shock) for Korean Nursing Students.

Clinical practice is an important educational tool for nursing students, and their emotions during clinical practice should be accurately understood. This study aimed to develop and verify the validity and reliability of a clinical practicum transition shock scale (CPT-shock) to measure Korean nursing students' emotional responses when transitioning from a theoretical learning process to clinical practice. This research design was a methodological study and the content, construct, criterion validity, and reliability of the items were verified. Content validity was evaluated by seven experts. The preliminary survey was conducted on 24 nursing students, and the factor analysis was conducted on 331 nursing students in various regions of Korea. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the model fit (χ2/df = 1.741, GFI = 0.930, AGFI = 0.902, NFI = 0.869, TLI = 0.923, CFI = 0.938, RMR = 0.035, RMSEA = 0.047) and established discrimination and convergence validity. Positive and negative correlations were found with existing transition shock (r = 0.779) and clinical practice adaptation (r = -0.505), respectively (p < 0.001), thus establishing criterion validity. The reliability was good, with a Cronbach's α of 0.85. The clinical practicum transition shock scale reflects nursing students' practice environment and is expected to accurately measure nursing students' unique emotional shock.

Patient and provider perspectives on barriers to myocardial infarction care among persons with human immunodeficiency virus in Tanzania: A qualitative study.

People with HIV (PLWH) have an increased risk myocardial infarction (MI), and evidence suggests that MI is under-diagnosed in Tanzania. However, little is known about barriers to MI care among PLWH in the region. In this qualitative study grounded in phenomenology, semi-structured interviews were conducted in northern Tanzania. Purposive sampling was used to recruit a diverse group of providers who care for PLWH and patients with HIV and electrocardiographic evidence of prior MI. Emergent themes were identified via inductive thematic analysis. 24 physician and patient participants were interviewed. Most participants explained MI as caused by emotional shock and were unaware of the association between HIV and increased MI risk. Providers described poor provider training regarding MI, high out-of-pocket costs, and lack of diagnostic equipment and medications. Patients reported little engagement with and limited knowledge of cardiovascular care, despite high engagement with HIV care. Most provider and patient participants indicated that they would prefer to integrate cardiovascular care with routine HIV care. PLWH face many barriers to MI care in Tanzania. There is a need for multifaceted interventions to educate providers and patients, improve access to MI diagnosis, and increase engagement with cardiovascular care among this population.

The impact of resilience on clinical nurses' moral courage during COVID-19: A moderated mediation model of ethical climate and moral distress.

The purpose of this study was to explore whether clinical ethical climate mediates the relationship between resilience and moral courage in a population of clinical nurses during COVID-19, and if moral distress faced by nurses is a moderating factor. Resilience can help nurses maintain their personal health during COVID-19 when they face great physical and psychological shock and are prone to health problems. Moral courage, as an ethical competency, helps nursing staff in adhering to the principles and values of professional ethics. There is a strong correlation between resilience and moral courage, but the mechanism by which resilience contributes to moral courage is unclear. A cross-sectional study research is designed. Three hundred thirty clinical nurses from six hospitals in Beijing, Sichuan, and Fujian of China were included between August 2021 and March 2022. The survey instruments include the Nurses' Moral Courage Scale (NMCS), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Moral Distress Scale-Revised (MDS-R), and Hospital Ethical Climate Scale (HECS). Ethical climate mediates 15% of the relationship between resilience and moral courage. The association between resilience and ethical climate, as well as the indirect relationship between resilience and moral courage, was modified by moral distress. This study investigated the mechanisms by which resilience affects moral courage in clinical nurses in the context of COVID-19, suggesting that moral courage can be increased by alleviating moral distress and increasing ethical climate. This study confirms the mediating effect of moral climate on the relationship between resilience and moral courage, as well as the moderating effect of moral distress. Hospital policymakers should value nurses' psychological resilience and moral courage, develop effective policies to prevent and manage stressors, build social support systems, and create a positive ethical climate.

Feedback Trading, Investor Sentiment and the Volatility Puzzle: An Infinite Theoretical Framework

This article constructs a behavioral financial model that provides feedback on both historical prices and company fundamentals without considering asset liquidation to discuss the long-term impact of investor sentiment and feedback trading on asset price fluctuations. The research conclusion shows that the abnormal volatility of asset prices is captured by the value effect, the cognitive bias effect, the sentiment shock effect, and the trading inductive effect. The value effect is the volatility of asset prices that is completely determined by fundamental factors; the higher the degree of cyclical fluctuations in fundamental factors, the higher the volatility of prices. The bias effect refers to investors’ misreading of basic information and trends in asset prices; the greater the instability of emotional shocks, the greater the abnormal volatility of asset prices. The trading inductive effect is also called the Keynes effect, which reflects the role played by rational traders.

Economic Constraction Vs Mental Beggars During the Covid 19 Pandemic 2021

The covid pandemic period that occurred until the end of 2021 changed many aspects of human life. There was a global psychological shock and had to change habits suddenly into polemics. Changing habits is not an easy thing, it requires great effort to want to follow the rules of new normal life. The 19th pandemic period became a rationalization of the economic situation of a group of people who felt they had the right to receive social assistance from the government. This was because a preconceived mental formation was a mental formation formed by the soul asking for material deficiency. The government provides social assistance funds in dealing with the economy in Indonesia with the intention of providing assistance to help people affected by the pandemic. Many companies are laying off workers on a large scale which has led to increased unemployment. The state of global conflict in all aspects, especially the economic aspect, which causes economic contraction, but with social assistance, a beggar mentality is even triggered. The assistance funds provided are not to open a business as a substitute for a profession because they are unemployed due to being affected by the pandemic by becoming entrepreneurs. hope that every month they will receive aid funds from the government. There is also a mistargeting of the distribution of social assistance funds and many receive it even though it is not their right to receive social assistance funds.
