DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF A QUESTIONNAIRE THAT SURVEYED DENTAL ASSISTANTS’ KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE AND PRACTICES OF INFECTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL MEASURES WITHIN SOUTH AFRICAN ORAL HEALTHCARE FACILITIES

Objective: In-depth research was conducted to find a suitable tool for measuring the knowledge, attitude, and practice of infection prevention and control (IPC) among dental assistants within oral healthcare facilities (OHCFs) in South Africa. However, the results were unsatisfactory, indicating the need to develop and validate a unique questionnaire for this purpose. This article explains the process followed to develop and validate a questionnaire designed to survey knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) in Health Sciences. Methods: To develop and validate a questionnaire, the researcher conducted a literature review to understand the process involved. The initial version of the questionnaire was then drafted. In order to assess its reliability and validity, both objective and subjective evaluations were conducted. A total of 25 individuals formed part of the respective review panels, including five academics, two infection prevention and control experts, five dentists, seven oral hygienists, and six dental assistants from public and private OHCFs. These individuals performed the subjective evaluations of the draft questionnaire. The draft questionnaire was then administered to a group of 60 dental students from the Central University of Technology (CUT). The data obtained from this group enabled the researcher to perform further objective evaluations by applying statistical measures using a Microsoft Excel programme. The reliability of items in the Knowledge domain was determined by the Kuder Richardson (KR20) test, with Cronbach’s alpha applied to items within the Attitude and Practice domains. A conservative approach to the interrater agreement (IRA) assessed the overall reliability. A panel of reviewers determined the face validity. Content validity was determined by the average congruency percentage (ACP), item content validity (I-CVI) and scale content validity (S-CVI). Results: The final questionnaire addressed seven IPC themes and encompassed 188 items. The tests to determine the instrument’s reliability yielded satisfactory results. The KR-20 score ranged between 0.94 and 0.65. The Cronbach’s alpha for items probing Attitude ranged between 0.99 and 0.86, and Cronbach’s alpha for items investigating IPC practices ranged between 0.97 and 0.69. The alternative approach to the IRA yielded 91%, and the conservative approach was 74%. Similarly, the tests to determine the validity of the questionnaire also yielded satisfactory results, with an ACP of 94%, above 90% I-CVI for readability, clarity, and feasibility and the S-CVI of 74%. Conclusion: The results of the reliability and validity tests confirmed that the questionnaire is suitable to measure the IPC knowledge, attitude, and practice of dental assistants.

First- and third-order chromatic aberrations in Glaser magnetic lens for object magnetic immersion

In this paper, the Gaussian optical properties and the first- and third-order isotropic and anisotropic chromatic aberrations of the Glaser magnetic lens have been derived analytically and then calculated numerically based on two methods: the differential-algebraic DA and the electron optical aberration integrals. These coefficients have been recalculated for object magnetic immersion OMI. The expressions of chromatic aberration coefficients with the inclusion of the OMI effect of round electron lenses were not published in the literature until the present work. The numerical results of high-order chromatic aberration coefficients of Glaser magnetic lenses calculated using the DA method are shown to be in excellent agreement with those calculated using the integral aberration method and with the minor relative errors of order (10−7- 10−8), indicating that all the formulas for the chromatic aberration coefficients are entirely correct. For this purpose, COSY INFINITY 10 and Mathematica 11 were used, and both proved to be excellent computer programs for this work.

Effectiveness of holistic mobile health interventions on diet, and physical, and mental health outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Good physical and mental health are essential for healthy ageing. Holistic mobile health (mHealth) interventions-including at least three components: physical activity, diet, and mental health-could support both physical and mental health and be scaled to the population level. This review aims to describe the characteristics of holistic mHealth interventions and their effects on related behavioural and health outcomes among adults from the general population. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PsycINFO, Scopus, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Google Scholar (first 200 records). The initial search covered January 1, 2011, to April 13, 2022, and an updated search extended from April 13, 2022 to August 30, 2023. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and non-randomised studies of interventions (NRSIs) were included if they (i) were delivered via mHealth technologies, (ii) included content on physical activity, diet, and mental health, and (iii) targeted adults (≥18 years old) from the general population or those at risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or mental disorders. Studies were excluded if they targeted pregnant women (due to distinct physiological responses), individuals with pre-existing NCDs or mental disorders (to emphasise prevention), or primarily utilised web, email, or structured phone support (to focus on mobile technologies without exclusive human support). Data (summary data from published reports) extraction and risk-of-bias assessment were completed by two reviewers using a standard template and Cochrane risk-of-bias tools, respectively. Narrative syntheses were conducted for all studies, and random-effects models were used in the meta-analyses to estimate the pooled effect of interventions for outcomes with comparable data in the RCTs. The study was registered in PROSPERO, CRD42022315166. After screening 5488 identified records, 34 studies (25 RCTs and 9 pre-post NRSIs) reported in 43 articles with 5691 participants (mean age 39 years, SD 12.5) were included. Most (91.2%, n = 31/34) were conducted in high-income countries. The median intervention duration was 3 months, and only 23.5% (n=8/34) of studies reported follow-up data. Mobile applications, short-message services, and mobile device-compatible websites were the most common mHealth delivery modes; 47.1% (n=16/34) studies used multiple mHealth delivery modes. Of 15 studies reporting on weight change, 9 showed significant reductions (6 targeted on individuals with overweight or obesity), and in 10 studies reporting perceived stress levels, 4 found significant reductions (all targeted on general adults). In the meta-analysis, holistic mHealth interventions were associated with significant weight loss (9 RCTs; mean difference-1.70kg, 95% CI-2.45 to-0.95; I2=89.00%) and a significant reduction in perceived stress levels (6 RCTs; standardised mean difference [SMD]-0.32; 95% CI-0.52 to-0.12; I2=14.52%). There were no significant intervention effects on self-reported moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (5 RCTs; SMD 0.21; 95%CI-0.25 to 0.67; I2=74.28%) or diet quality scores (5 RCTs; SMD 0.21; 95%CI-0.47 to 0.65; I2=62.27%). All NRSIs were labelled as having a serious risk of bias overall; 56% (n=14/25) of RCTs were classified as having some concerns, and the others as having a high risk of bias. Findings from identified studies suggest that holistic mHealth interventions may aid reductions in weight and in perceived stress levels, with small to medium effect sizes. The observed effects on diet quality scores and self-reported moderate-to-vigorous physical activity were less clear and require more research. High-quality RCTs with longer follow-up durations are needed to provide more robust evidence. To promote population health, future research should focus on vulnerable populations and those in middle- and low-income countries. Optimal combinations of delivery modes and components to improve efficacy and sustain long-term effects should also be explored.

Estimating dendrometric variables, volume and carbon from stump diameter for Pinus arizonica Engelm. in northern Mexico

It is noteworthy that in the last decade, there has been an increase in the number of studies predicting normal diameter, total height, and stem volume based on stump dimensions. Therefore, the objectives were: a) to determine the mathematical model that best estimates normal diameter, total height, stem volume, and captured carbon as a function of stump diameter for Pinus arizonica Engelm. in northern Mexico; and b) to generate mathematical models through data processing in the Microsoft Excel program. Using a targeted sampling design, we selected 264 Pinus arizonica Engelm. trees to generate the database. The development of prediction models for normal diameter, total height, total tree volume, and captured carbon as a function of stump diameter was carried out using the Microsoft Excel database management package. The fit's adequacy was analyzed based on residuals and statistics such as the root mean square error, the adjusted coefficient of determination, and the coefficient of variation. Model fits indicate a linear trend for the normal diameter variable, while for total height, the model turned out to be logarithmic. As for total tree volume and captured carbon, the relationship is exponential in relation to stump diameter. The R2adj fits were highly reliable for estimating normal diameter, total tree volume, and captured carbon, with values exceeding 95%. The development of prediction models using Microsoft Excel is viable according to the results presented here. The tested techniques can be replicated by forestry technicians, environmental inspectors, and forest landowners who do not have specialized knowledge in the generation prediction models.

Methodology for selecting competing regions based on their specialization (using the example of the Amur region)

Purpose of the study. The paper presents the author’s methodology for selecting competing regions based on their specialization. The formation of a statistical set of competing regions is one of the stages of the methodology for managing the competitiveness of a region. The selection of competing regions precedes the stage of assessing the region’s competitiveness and identifying its competitive advantages. Ignoring the stage of selecting competing regions in the study of regional competitiveness leads to leveling out the differences between the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in socio-economic conditions of development and reduces the possibility of making effective management decisions to increase the competitiveness of the country’s regions. The purpose of the paper is to improve the methodology for selecting competing regions based on their specialization.Materials and methods. In the process of achieving the goal, statistical methods of analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis, and the main array method were used. Calculations were made in SPSS Statistics and Excel programs. The paper used statistical data from Rosstat. To perform the calculations, GVA was considered in the Russian National Classifier of Types of Economic Activity2 structure for 2020.Results. The article improves the methodology for selecting competing regions based on their specialization. The method under consideration contains 7 stages. Its difference from the previous methodology is the addition of two stages: extracting factors of GVA shares or localization coefficients by type of economic activity of regions using factor analysis and clustering of regions based on selected factors. To test the methodology, localization coefficients were calculated by type of economic activity of the regions of the Russian Federation for 2020. Their descriptive statistics are presented. A set of competing regions has been formed for the Amur region. The region’s competitors are 11 regions of the country, in which “mining” and “construction” predominate.Conclusion. Solving the problem of forming a statistical set of competing regions is an important condition for the objectivity and reliability of the results of assessing the competitiveness of regions. The paper shows that the selection of competing regions must be carried out taking into account the specialization of the region, which is an expression of the level of socio-economic development of the region and its specifics. Dividing the totality of the country’s regions into homogeneous groups in accordance with their specialization allows for a qualitative analysis of the competitiveness of the regions within each individual group. The presented technique is universal, because its information base can be both the sectoral structure of the economy of the regions of the Russian Federation and the localization coefficients calculated on its basis, characterizing the specialization of the regions.

MANAJEMEN PENGEMBANGAN DIRI DALAM PENINGKATAN KUALITAS SUMBER DAYA MANUSIA DI STITNU AL-FARABI PANGANDARA

Students are often referred to as agents of change or carriers of change agents and movers for the surrounding environment towards a better direction. Through their knowledge, ideas and skills, students can become locomotives of progress. This is inversely proportional to the existing reality. Many of today's generation of students have low levels of self-confidence. The main reason is not recognizing one's own strengths and worth in the midst of society. In addition, almost all students only see external causes that are material. This becomes serious, because it can be a long chain of unemployment for undergraduate graduates. Departing from this, Community Service with the material title "Finding Your Self: Share, Heart Mind" was implemented with straightforward research, namely "Management of Self-Development in Improving Human Resources at STITNU Al-Farabi Pangandaran" created and intended for STITNU Al-Farabi Pangandaran students as a forum to share the importance of continuing to explore passion and self-worth, as capital to lead to a better future. The result or follow-up of this PKM activity is the Al-Farabi Excellent Program as a means for selected students to learn and find their respective passions.

Recent Updates on the Management of Human Papillomavirus-related Cancers

Abstract: Cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates have been steadily decreasing in developed nations owing to the excellent screening programs executed. However, it still remains one of the most prevalent tumors in developing nations, contributing significantly to cancer-related mortality in females. The major causal factor in the genesis of cervical cancer is recognized to be human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The female population, particularly in poor countries, is highly susceptible to HPV infections and cervical cancer as a result of the increasing costs posed by widespread cervical screening and HPV vaccination methods. Understanding the roles of HPV oncoproteins (E6 and E7) and non-coding RNAs, along with their many cellular targets, can help us develop targeted drug therapy to manage cervical cancer. In the hunt for novel ways for effective disease control and prevention, new insights and methodologies in molecular biology keep evolving continuously. In the recent past, newer studies have revealed deeper knowledge of HPV-activated molecular signaling pathways as well as prospective targets for early diagnosis, prevention, and therapy of HPV-related malignancies. Also, there has been much new research conducted on genome-editing tools for HPVinduced cervical cancer treatment in conjunction with other treatment strategies, such as immunotherapy and therapeutic vaccines.
