Hospitalization Causes and Epidemiological Characteristics Among Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease: A Six-Year Retrospective Study.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to a high rate of complications requiring hospital admission for advanced management. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the main causes of hospitalization following the initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT). This observational and descriptive study utilized a non-probabilistic quota sampling method, reviewing a total of 423 medical records from General Regional Hospital 1 of the Mexican Social Security Institute in Querétaro. The study evaluated the frequency and causality of hospitalizations during a retrospective period from 2018 to 2023. There were 1,162 hospitalization events involving 423 patients; 71.63% of patients started RRT with peritoneal dialysis, while 26% began with hemodialysis. The leading cause of hospitalization was electrolyte imbalance (397; 34.17%), followed by peritonitis associated with peritoneal dialysis (351; 30.21%), change to hemodialysis (270; 23.24%), Tenckhoff catheter dysfunction (209; 17.99%), and fluid overload (205; 17.64%). The group with the highest number of events was renal-related complications, followed by infectious causes. Hospitalizations in end-stage CKD patients often arise from the complex renal pathophysiology and complications related to acute and decompensated renal function. This condition refers to the kidneys' failure to maintain essential physiological functions despite ongoing treatment, leading to issues such as electrolyte imbalances, fluid overload, and uremic syndrome. To reduce morbidity and mortality, measures such as enhanced training in ambulatory dialysis, improved catheter care, and early infection detection are crucial. A comprehensive approach that addresses both acute issues and preventive strategies is essential for improving clinical outcomes and quality of life for these patients.

Persepsi Orang Tua dan Pengasuh terhadap Pemberian Imunisasi Rutin pada Balita Pasca Pandemi Covid-19

Immunization is an effective strategy of the government to reduce morbidity and mortality from Preventable Diseases by Immunization (PD3I). During the Covid-19 pandemic, this situation had a significant impact on the health sector, reducing immunization coverage rates. Currently, Indonesia is in the post-Covid-19 pandemic phase characterized by positive trends in pandemic control. This study aims to understand the perceptions of parents or caregivers regarding the provision of routine immunization to children in the post-Covid-19 pandemic era. The research method used a cross-sectional design with sampling using the quota sampling method, with a total of 100 respondents. Data were collected through a questionnaire adopting the health belief model theory to parents or caregivers who brought their children to the Posyandu for immunization. The results showed that perceptions of vulnerability (p value = 0,071), seriousness (p value = 0,121), and cues to action (p value = 0,731) had an insignificant effect on immunization for toddlers, while perceptions of benefits (p value = 0,008), barriers (p value = 0,000), and self-efficacy (p value = 0,000) had a significant effect on immunization for toddlers in the post-Covid-19 pandemic era (p value < 0.05). The components of the health belief model that form the perceptions of parents or caregivers towards immunization are interconnected, although not all are statistically significant. Therefore, perceptions of vulnerability, seriousness, and cues to action need to be improved to form a good perception of immunization after the Covid-19 pandemic

Lãnh đạo phụng sự và hành vi công dân tổ chức ngành khách sạn: Vai trò trung gian của sự gắn kết công việc

The study aims to assess the impact of servant leadership on the organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) of frontline hotel employees, with work engagement as a mediating role. We use a qualitative research method to evaluate the appropriateness of the scale. Next, the hypotheses were tested by quantitative research with a sample size of 469, collected using the snowball and quota sampling methods. The results show that: (1) servant leadership directly influences all three dimensions of OCB; (2) work engagement directly affects OCB toward organizations and OCB toward customers, and also partially mediates the relationship between servant leadership and OCB toward organizations, OCB toward customers; (3) work engagement neither directly impacts OCB toward individual nor mediates the relationship between servant leadership and OCB toward individual. The research findings provide theoretical and practical contributions to enhancing the understanding of the formation mechanism of OCB among frontline hotel employees.

평창지역의 배추, 절임배추, 김치의 영양성분 및 항산화 활성

This study investigated the impact of person-environment fit (P-E fit) on job satisfaction (JS), work engagement (WE), and prosocial organizational behavior (POB) among Generation MZ chefs in Korean hotels. Through analysis of the hospitality industry, this study focused on proposing strategies to attract and retain talented individuals in specific roles. Using a complex sampling method (quota sampling, snowball sampling, and judgment sampling), this study collected a total of 251 survey responses from hotel chefs nationwide. Analysis was conducted on the relationships between variables using structural equation modeling. It was found that a positive and direct impact of P-E fit on POB is not significant. While P-E fit positively influences JS, it does not positively affect POB, therefore does not mediate between P-E fit and POB. However, P-E fit positively influences WE, which in turn positively impacts POB, demonstrating the significance of the WE mediating effect. JS positively influences WE, indicating that JS and WE sequentially mediate the relationship between P-E fit and POB. Based on these results, this study has expanded the theory of person-environment fit and provides practical suggestions for hotel human resource management.

Revealing the Most Vulnerable Groups: Courtesy Stigma in Caregivers of Autistic Persons in Quebec.

Caregivers of autistic persons often face "courtesy stigma," a phenomenon by which caregivers experience stigma because of their association with a person whose disability may be stigmatized. Understanding the repercussions of this stigma is crucial not only for caregivers' mental health but also for the quality of care provided to their dependent. This study aimed to explore courtesy stigma among caregivers of autistic persons in Quebec, examining its prevalence and impact in order to identify groups that are particularly susceptible to negative outcomes. This study used a cross-sectional online survey methodology employing quota sampling to collect responses from 194 participants. Data were collected using a computer-assisted web interview (CAWI) platform. The impact of courtesy stigma was measured in terms of care burden, mental health, and overall well-being of caregivers. The findings revealed that caregivers frequently experience rejection, isolation, and work-related challenges. Notably, caregivers' health was below average with the lowest reported health outcomes in Quebec. The caregivers who are the most vulnerable to negative outcomes included female caregivers, those aged 45 or older, financially strained households, caregivers of children requiring elevated levels of support, caregivers who isolated due to their autistic dependents, and those who experienced stigmatization directed at themselves or their children in the form of rejection.Interestingly, 60% of respondents reported that the caregiving burden was "not at all" to "somewhat" difficult, raising questions about factors that may mitigate caregiving challenges over time. Negative outcomes from courtesy stigma vary depending on certain risk factors and individual characteristic. This study underscores the need for targeted public policies and interventions, particularly for those at a higher risk of experiencing the negative effects of courtesy stigma on the burden of care, overall health, and mental health. By tailoring resources and support for these priority groups, we can better address the challenges faced by families of autistic persons.

The Impact of Classroom-Based Assessment (CBA) Implementation on the Performance of B40 Pre-School and Primary School Students

Classroom-Based Assessment (PBD) is applied in the education system in Malaysia. It substitutes the public examination system at the primary school level and gives prominence to summative and formative assessment holistically. This case study was conducted to identify the effectiveness and challenges of PBD implementation on the development of students, specifically the B40 group of pre-school and primary school students. To obtain research data, an in-depth interview instrument was conducted on 13 study participants from a quota sample. Interview findings were analyzed to form themes and were confirmed by experts through the Cohen Kappa index of 0.803. Findings regarding the effectiveness of PBD showed that PBD is a holistic assessment for B40 students, especially students who are weak in learning, as it encompasses a comprehensive learning and continuous assessment. PBD is also beneficial for B40 students as they are given the opportunity to achieve the desired mastery level; thus, the gap between B40 students and non-B40 students can be minimized. In addition, this study also highlighted the achievement of B40 students through their mastery of subjects at school. Challenges in the implementation of PBD for B40 preschool and primary school students encompass three aspects, namely challenges in knowledge, achievement and implementation. In terms challenges in knowledge, parents are seen to be oblivious regarding PBD. Challenges in achievement exist when students do not sufficiently master the subjects and unmindful of PBD implementation of. Finally, challenges in implementation, which refers to strenuous individual assessment due to the large number of students. Furthermore, attendance of B40 students is a major challenge in the implementation of PBD. In addition, another challenge in implementation is the need and financial, and parental support. This study explores towards critical discussion and understanding to improve the learning system and further realize the benefits in the implementation of PBD, especially for B40 preschool and primary school students.

Perceptions of Social Capital Before and After the Perpetration of Femicide, Homicide, and Other Serious Crimes: Evidence from Argentina.

Over the past two decades, femicide-the gender-based killing of women or girls-has become an issue of international concern. Yet relatively little data on perpetrators exist. Current research primarily focuses on individual risk factors with less attention on community and societal factors. We use a social capital approach to examine femicide by analyzing the extent to which crime perpetrators experience and perceive social punishment (exclusion) from their social networks. Using a quota sampling strategy, we administered a cross-sectional questionnaire to perpetrators of femicide (N = 71), male-male homicide (N = 73), and other serious crimes (N = 64) across four prisons in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Other crime perpetrators served as a control to the two lethal crime groups. Perceived social capital scores were assigned based on responses to two scales adapted from the World Bank's "Integrated Questionnaire for the Measurement of Social Capital." Before committing murder, femicide and homicide perpetrators' scores were not statistically different. Yet after the crime, femicide perpetrators retained significantly greater scores than homicide perpetrators. The perceived social capital scores of other crime perpetrators did not change after the commission of their crimes. As a secondary objective, we examined the individual and social contexts of femicide perpetrators. Most (85%) of the femicide perpetrators could name at least one other person in their social network whom they knew to be physically violent during disagreements with their partner, while 11% stated that "everyone" they knew used violence during disagreements. Although the penalty for committing femicide and homicide is ostensibly equivalent-a life sentence of 50 years-we found that the informal social punishment femicide perpetrators perceived is less severe than that experienced by homicide perpetrators. These data indicate a lack of social punishment for femicide, compared to other crimes, showing social legitimization of the crime. These findings support the development of community-level interventions to prevent femicide.
