Factors Related to Clinical Performance in Spine Surgery Fellowship: Can We Predict Success.

The factors most important in the spine fellowship match may not ultimately correlate with quality of performance during fellowship. This study examined the spine fellow applicant metrics correlated with high application rank compared with the metrics associated with the strongest clinical performance during fellowship. Spine fellow applications at three academic institutions were retrieved from the San Francisco Match database (first available to 2021) and deidentified for application review. Application metrics pertaining to research, academics, education, extracurriculars, leadership, examinations, career interests, and letter of recommendations were extracted. Attending spine surgeons involved in spine fellow selection at their institutions were sent a survey to rank (1) fellow applicants based on their perceived candidacy and (2) the strength of performance of their previous fellows. Pearson correlation assessed the associations of application metrics with theoretical fellow rank and actual performance. A total of 37 spine fellow applications were included (Institution A: 15, Institution B: 12, Institution C: 10), rated by 14 spine surgeons (Institution A: 6, Institution B: 4, Institution C: 4). Theoretical fellow rank demonstrated a moderate positive association with overall research, residency program rank, recommendation writer H-index, US Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) scores, and journal reviewer positions. Actual fellow performance demonstrated a moderate positive association with residency program rank, recommendation writer H-index, USMLE scores, and journal reviewer positions. Linear regressions identified journal reviewer positions (ß = 1.73, P = 0.002), Step 1 (ß = 0.09, P = 0.010) and Step 3 (ß = 0.10, P = 0.002) scores, recommendation writer H-index (ß = 0.06, P = 0.029, and ß = 0.07, P = 0.006), and overall research (ß = 0.01, P = 0.005) as predictors of theoretical rank. Recommendation writer H-index (ß = 0.21, P = 0.030) and Alpha Omega Alpha achievement (ß = 6.88, P = 0.021) predicted actual performance. Residency program reputation, USMLE scores, and a recommendation from an established spine surgeon were important in application review and performance during fellowship. Research productivity, although important during application review, was not predictive of fellow performance. III. Cohort Study.

Overview of geographical indications in northeast Brazil

The Geographical Indication (GI) is a distinctive signo f recognition of the quality and/or notoriety of a product or service. It is a legal tool that provides protection to na asset. It has two species: Designation of Origin (DO) and Indication of Origin (IP). Brazil has heterogeneous geographical characteristics according to its socioecnomic and territorial development, making some of them producer and consumer centers. The country is divided into five region. The Northeast region is composed of nine states and currently has 16 GIs in the IP modality, which represent 18.18% of the total granted in Brazil, and two in the DO modality, which represent 7.69% of the national total. The present work aims to prospect GI registration in the IP modality in the Northeast Region of Brazil and its growth over time. The methodology used was exploratory and descriptive, using as a tool the bibliographic review in scientific journals and on the website of the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI). The first of IP occurred in 2009, while in the DO species it was in 2011. In 2012 there was the highest number of registrations, with 4 concessions. Bahia leads in the number with five, two of which are shared with Pernambuco. Maranhão does not yet have any IP granted. The Northeast Region has grat potential to register other products as GI, due to its demographic area, population, tradition, culture, ethnic diversity, rich biodiversity, traditional peoples, quilombolas and indigenous people with their vast knowledge of arts, drinks and plant cultivation.

Financial Literacy, Financial Education and Financial Experience: Conceptual Framework

Low levels of financial literacy continue to persist around the world with women, the poor, lowly educated groups and the youth possessing the least levels of financial literacy. Research has shown that both financial education and financial experience can help boost levels of financial literacy. Despite this, there remains no conceptual framework that shows how financial education and financial experience can be used to boost levels of financial literacy. The purpose of this study is to propose a conceptual framework that links financial literacy, financial education, and financial experience. This paper is based on a literature review of journals on financial literacy, financial education, and financial experience that were published on both Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and Scopus from 2018 to 2023. Variables that emerged from the literature review were used to construct a conceptual framework. The findings of this study reveal that financial education and financial experience can be used to enhance financial literacy levels. Thus, it can be concluded that both financial education and financial experience can help to improve levels of financial literacy among individuals and various groups.

Educational program evaluation models can assist in decision making to improve the quality of education and achieve set goals. This research aims to provide a comprehensive review of various evaluation models in educational programs. This research method uses a descriptive qualitative research method through a literature study method which uses data collection techniques in the form of book and journal reviews which are then analyzed and concluded from the research cited. The results of this research are to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each model, as well as provide recommendations regarding the choice of the appropriate model according to the program context, evaluation objectives, and available resources

Diversity Dishonesty: Smoke and Mirrors in the Organization

The article aims to discuss the phenomenon known as “diversity dishonesty” (term “smoke and mirrors” was coined by Stacey Morin as a metaphor of diversity dishonesty). Diversity dishonesty is defined as encapsulating a complex scenario wherein organizations outwardly portray a façade of commitment to genuine and quantifiable progress concerning diversity initiatives, while in practice, they manifest insincerity and disingenuousness. In recent years, diversity dishonesty has garnered substantial scholarly attention, particularly within organizational dynamics. This phenomenon is characterized by a superficial and performative engagement with diversity, creating the illusion of progress and dedication while failing to bring about substantive and meaningful transformations in diversity and inclusivity. The article presents the results of systematic literature review of peer-reviewed journals that analyzed diversity dishonesty in the organization, examine diversity dishonesty in organizations, to reveal a complex interplay of psychological, social, and organizational factors. Search engines provided by Marymount University Library and such resources as: ABI/INFORM Collection, Business Source Complete (EBSCO Host), Google Scholar, JSTOR and ProQuest Research Library were used. The research introduces an infinity loop framework that leverages accountability and transparency in conjunction with stakeholder theory. The article examines the following symptoms of diversity dishonesty within an organization: pluralistic ignorance, exclusion, othering, erosion of trust and morale, inconsistency between promotional material and lived experience, limited representation in leadership, microaggression, and tokenism. The article examines the following cascade of consequences of diversity dishonesty within an organization: legal risk, reputational damage, and stifled innovation and creativity. By shedding light on the intricacies of this phenomenon, this article offers valuable insights for organizations aiming to move beyond performative diversity efforts and genuinely foster diverse, equitable, and inclusive environments.

Secessionist Agitations and Human Security: The Quest for the Agitations of IPOB in Southeastern Nigeria

Human security is a vital aspect of a state’s existence and it's performance in both local and international system. However, in Nigeria, the state of human security has been intercepted by many obstacles. The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) secessionist movement is a major interception. The arrest of the group’s leader, Nnamdi Kanu, in 2015 triggered a rise in the three-year movement and ultimately a fall in human security in the country. This study investigates the relationship between the IPOB secessionist agitation and human security as well as the implications that the agitations have on human security in Nigeria. The study adopts the relative deprivation theory as the theoretical framework to analyse the underlying causes of secessionist movements. Utilizing a secondary method of data collection, the research relies on an extensive literature review and analysis of relevant sources, including books, journals, and online articles. The findings of this study reveal that IPOB agitations have repercussions on human security in the country. The study therefore recommends facilitating open and constructive dialogue between the Nigerian government and representatives of IPOB to address the root causes of secessionist agitations.

Mapping the Dental Applications of Nanosilver Fluoride: A Narrative Review.

The main objective of this paper is to discuss the current progress in the field of dentistry and highlight the aspects regarding silver nanoparticle incorporation, emphasizing the properties, applications, and advantages of nanosilver fluoride (NSF) that it brings to dentistry. An extensive electronic scientific search was conducted on published articles in various databases, such as Medline (PubMed), CENTRAL (Cochrane), Scopus, and Web of Science, using the search terms AgNPs, nano dentistry, caries prevention, and oral health. Further brief communications, randomized controlled trials (RCT), in vitro research, and animal studies written in English were also considered. Case reports, editorial reviews, and opinion letters were excluded from the first phase of our research. Pertaining to various kinds of literature reviews in journals, around 345 articles were retrieved. After screening, about 28 articles met all the selection criteria, focusing on NSF for the contemporary management of dental caries, emphasizing microinvasive therapeutic methods that can successfully halt the progression of caries at the initial level and minimize the loss of sound tooth structure. Due to its exceptional properties and wide range of clinical applications, AgNPs incorporated in fluoride may be employed as an effective, affordable, and improved anticaries agent that brings about superior enhancements in the fields of orthodontics, restorative dentistry, and pediatric and preventive dentistry.

Media plurality, independence and Talanoa: An alternative Pacific journalism education model

The shrinking mainstream media plurality in Aotearoa New Zealand provides a context for examining publication of campus-based media where student and faculty editorial staff have successfully established an independent Asia-Pacific digital and print press over the past two decades. New Zealand’s largest city Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) has the largest urban population of Pacific Islanders globally—more than 300,000 people in a total of 1.7 million (Pasifika New Zealand, n.d.), earning the moniker ‘Polynesian capital of the world’. The presenter has had a pioneering role with four university-based journalism publications in the Pacific region as key adviser/publisher in Papua New Guinea (Uni Tavur, 1993-1998); Fiji (Wansolwara, 1998-2002); and Aotearoa/New Zealand (Pacific Scoop, 2009-2015; Asia Pacific Report, 2016 onwards), and also with two journalism school-based publications in Australia (Reportage, 1996, and The Junction, 2018-2020) (Robie, 2018). In early 2021, he was co-founder of the Asia Pacific Media Network | Te Koakoa Incorporated which has emerged as a collective umbrella for academics, student journalists and independent reporters producing innovative publications, including the research journal Pacific Journalism Review and a strengthened Asia Pacific Report, which draw on a cross-disciplinary range of media contributors and scholars in other professions. These contributors are mindful of the challenges of reportage about the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This article explores an independent journalism model drawing on professional outlets for Asia-Pacific students and how an investigative and storytelling model like ‘Talanoa Journalism’ can be an effective bridge to alternative media careers and addressing ‘blind spots’ in legacy news media.

LITERATURE REVIEW: PERANAN ACAULOSPORA TERHADAP PENYERAPAN FOSFOR PADA AKAR TANAMAN SINGKONG

Mycorrhiza is a form of mutualistic symbiosis between plant roots (rhiza) and fungi (mykes). Plants will get various kinds of nutrients, especially phosphorus (P) from their mycorrhiza, while mycorrhiza will get carbon (C) from plants. Phosphorus is a macro nutrient that plants must have. Phosphorus has important functions in plants, namely during respiration, photosynthesis, energy transport, energy storage, cell enlargement, cell division, as well as processes within plants, stimulating plant root development and germination. Mycorrhiza is grouped into three types, namely ectendomycorrhiza, ectomycorrhiza, and endomycorrhiza. This journal review uses the SLR or Systematic Literature Review method with the aim of knowing the meaning of mycorrhiza, characteristics, enzymes that play a role, the mechanism of phosphorus absorption in mycorrhiza, mycorrhizal colonization, and mycorrhizal symbiosis in cassava plants. This article discusses mycorrhiza, one of the mycorrhizal genera, namely Acaulospora, which is included in the endomycorrhiza or Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM). The spores are characterized by a brownish yellow color and a rough surface like orange peel. The phosphatase enzyme is produced by Acaulospora hyphae. This enzyme helps increase the amount of P nutrients that are useful for plants by releasing the fixation of P nutrients from Al, Fe, and Ca in the soil, so that phosphate elements are available to plants.

The Oral Health Statistics Guidelines for Reporting Observational Studies and Clinical Trials in Oral Health Research: Explanation and Elaboration

Adequate and transparent reporting is necessary for critically appraising research. Yet, evidence suggests that the design, conduct, analysis, interpretation, and reporting of oral health research could be greatly improved. Accordingly, the Task Force on Design and Analysis in Oral Health Research-statisticians and trialists from academia and industry-empaneled a group of authors to develop methodological and statistical reporting guidelines identifying the minimum information needed to document and evaluate observational studies and clinical trials in oral health: the Oral Health Statistics Guidelines. Drafts were circulated to the editors of 85 oral health journals and to task force members and sponsors and discussed at a December 2020 workshop attended by 49 researchers. The final version was subsequently approved by the task force in September 2021, submitted for journal review in 2022, and revised in 2023. The checklist consists of 48 guidelines: 5 for introductory information, 17 for methods, 13 for statistical analysis, 6 for results, and 7 for interpretation; 7 are specific to clinical trials. Each of these guidelines identifies relevant information, explains its importance, and often describes best practices. The checklist was published in multiple journals. The article was published simultaneously in JDR Clinical and Translational Research, the Journal of the American Dental Association, and the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Completed checklists should accompany manuscripts submitted for publication to these and other oral health journals to help authors, journal editors, and reviewers verify that the manuscript provides the information necessary to adequately document and evaluate the research.

Challenging the Pacific ‘blind spots’ through images

Photoessay: A unique feature of Pacific Journalism Review, compared with many other journalism and media research journals, has been a particular focus on photography and documentary. Contributors have been eclectic and varied, ranging from activist photojournalist John Miller (Ngāpuhi), who charted the new wave of Māori assertiveness from the first Nga Tamatoa protest at Waitangi in 1971 and who offered a research portfolio on the Ngatihine Land/Forestry legal dispute in Northland Aotearoa, to Ben Bohane’s ‘Melanesian mythical places with unreported conflicts’, to Kasun Ubayasiri’s ‘Manus to Meanjin’ study of refugee migration, to Filipino Fernando G. Sepe’s stunning but shocking portrayal of President Rodrigo Duterte’s extrajudicial ‘war on drugs’ (in reality a ‘war on poverty’), through to Todd M. Henry’s Tongan ‘Gangsters in Paradise’ and the realm of kava in New Zealand. At least a dozen portfolios have been published by the journal and this article examines and reflects on some of the highlights. The photoessay is completed with a portfolio of protest photographs from Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand during eight months of Israel’s War on Gaza.

EDITORIAL: Gaza, genocide and media: Will journalism survive?

30th Anniversary Edition of Pacific Journalism Review: When editor Philip Cass and I, as founding editor, started planning for this 30th anniversary edition of Pacific Journalism Review, we wanted a theme that would fit such an important milestone. At the time when we celebrated the second decade of the journal’s critical inquiry at Auckland University of Technology with a conference in 2014, our theme was ‘Political journalism in the Asia Pacific’, and our mood about the mediascape in the region was far more positive than it is today (Duffield, 2015). Three years later, we marked the 10th anniversary of the Pacific Media Centre, with a conference and a rather gloomier ‘Journalism under duress’ slogan. The PJR cover then featured a gruesome corpse at the height of Rodrigo Duterte’s callous and bloodthirsty ‘war on drugs’—and on media—in the Philippines. Three years later again the PMC itself had been closed in spite of its success. EDITORIAL NOTE: After the editorial of Pacific Journalism Review and the lead article in this edition (Vol 30, No 1&2) about the fate of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange were printed, the Australian journalist was set free and he arrived back in Australia after a plea bargain. The winner of his country’s Walkley Award for journalism excellence, Assange was freed by a US federal court in Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, on 26 June 2024 after a plea bargain to plead guilty to one charge of violating the US Espionage Act and the judge sentenced him to 62 months, jail time already served in the UK on remand. His 14-year struggle for freedom was over, but his lawyers say they will press for a full US presidential pardon.

KAEDAH PENDALILAN MASLAHAH MURSALAH DAN APLIKASINYA DALAM KEWANGAN ISLAM KONTEMPORARI

This study aims to investigate the application of Maslahah Mursalah reasoning in contemporary Islamic finance. The motivation for this study arises from the modernization of Islamic banking practices, which have adapted conventional financial systems through structural and operational changes. Consequently, it is necessary to evaluate these practices from a Shariah law perspective. One of the principles of Usul al-Fiqh that is relevant for addressing modern issues not addressed in earlier times is the principle of Maslahah Mursalah. Maslahah Mursalah is a significant principle for determining the compliance of an action with Shariah. Furthermore, this principle is accepted as valid by renowned scholars among the four Sunni schools of thought. The objective of this study is to analyze the implementation of Maslahah Mursalah reasoning in current Islamic financial practices. A qualitative approach is employed, which includes a literature review of books, journals, and relevant circulars. The gathered materials will be analyzed using document analysis methods. The findings of this study indicate that several practices in Islamic finance are implemented based on the justification of Maslahah Mursalah. These practices include issues such as the inclusion of a 'promise to purchase' in Murabahah to Purchase Order (MPO) contracts, the determination of Ibra' (rebate) in financing contracts, and the combination of contracts in Islamic financial products. Therefore, it can be concluded that the principle of Maslahah Mursalah plays a significant role as a primary reference for contemporary Islamic finance issues. Consequently, it is recommended that operators in the current Islamic financial industry have a thorough understanding of the principle of Maslahah Mursalah.

Strategi Dekarbonisasi Untuk Industri Pertambangan Batu Bara di Indonesia Menggunakan Metode TOPSIS

The coal mining industry is one of the largest contributors to Indonesia’s economy and greenhouse gas emissions at the same time. Indonesian coal mining companies will inevitably expand their business to meet the demand and targets. But Indonesia already set its ambition to become a net-zero country by 2060 or earlier. Without a robust decarbonization strategy at the company level, Indonesia will face difficulties meeting the net-zero target. This study proposes to use one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal, Solution method within the Political, Economic, Social, Technology, Environmental, and Legal criteria to assess five prioritized decarbonization strategies, which are renewable energy, equipment electrification, business shifting, process efficiency, carbon offset. The analysis will evaluate essential sub-criteria such as regulation compliance, investment, social acceptance, technological readiness, and emissions reduction. The data was acquired from a survey of coal mining stakeholders, other journal reviews, and company disclosures. The final results show that process efficiency scores highest on the selected criteria due to high economic and technological value. Meanwhile, other criteria like carbon offset, renewable energy use, and equipment electrification receive lower scores.

Launching TESOL Today: A New Hub for English Language Education Research

As an academician, I have always believed that I have to allocate time for editorial services to profession in the field of my work. That said, I attempted to launch a new journal in the field of English language education in Kurdistan with the help of a public university, but the attempts remained unsuccessful for a number of reasons. My driving interest of working for scientific journals pushed me to work as an editor and reviewer for a few journals over the past few years with the dream of learning how to become familiar with editorial services in the line of my work, and eventually launch a new journal in the field of English language education research. Over the past two decades, an increasing number of Kurdish scholars and researchers have turned their interest and attention into the English language education phenomenon, investigating its learning and teaching in the context of Kurdistan. However, researchers in the field of English language across the region did not have a venue to publish their research findings and contributions with journals specifically designed for the English language education research. The reason for this was that all the journals published by public and private universities publish broadly-defined subjects and disciplines in humanities and social sciences, leaving no specific rooms for English language research only. As such, the main driving force to launch TESOL Today came from the understanding that no journals in the field of TESOL and Applied Linguistics exist neither in Iraq nor in Kurdistan to date. However, it is worth mentioning that TESOL Today doesnot aim to remain within the context of Iraq and Kurdistan. Rather, the journal seeks to publish a wide range of perspectives on English language internationally. Based on this, TESOL Today covers a comprehensive range of topics within the field of English language teaching and learning including, English language planning and policy, innovative methods in English language teaching and learning, curriculum design and materials development, pragmatics instruction in ELT, and technology integration into English language classroom, to name a few. Responding to the rising scholarly interest in the field of English language, we are launching TESOL Today with the ambition to become a hub for TESOL and Applied Linguistics researchers across the globe. In other words, TESOL Today aims to become an international room for researchers of TESOL and Applied linguistics in the world. We also intend to be a teaching journal to less experienced researchers who work hard to get their research findings published. TESOL Today; therefore, encourages submissions of empirical and theoretical scholarship from younger and novice researchers that contribute to the professional knowledge base of TESOL, promoting a collaborative exchange of ideas that can inform and shape future practice and policy in English language education. The journal is committed to upholding rigorous academic standards while embracing innovative research that challenges traditional paradigms and promotes progressive teaching methods. While it is our hope that TESOL Today will be especially useful to younger scholars, we also encourage seasoned scholars to submit their research findings to TESOL Today. We intend to continue to serving as a prime venue for the development of English language research through publishing original contributions and exciting new research by figures in the field. As such, we humbly feel this journal will play a key part in the increasing academic respectability of researchers all over the world. In doing so, we are committed to bring this journal into a higher level of scholarship and get it indexed by international databases including Clarivate Analytics and Scopus. In our endeavor, we are fortunate to be supported by an editorial team of members across different countries who work hard in pursuit of the success of TESOL Today. We work together closely to enrich the journal and shape its development, engagement and its future. However, we continue to strive for adding new members to our board. In closing, then, we extend our sincere invitation to TESOL and Applied Linguistics researchers across varying geographical areas around the globe to join us and submit their research and shape TESOL Today into a path-breaking academic journal by addressing different critical questions in the field of TESOL and Applied Linguistics.

The Association Between Cortisol And Stress Levels In Hypertension Patients

Hypertension is one of the leading causes of morbidity around the world. Between 1990 and 2019, the number of people with hypertension doubled, rising from 650 million to 1.3 billion. Hypertension is defined as high blood pressure with a systolic pressure higher than 140 mmHg and a diastolic pressure higher than 90 mmHg on both measurements taken at a five-minute interval during a period of sufficient rest or calm. Stress is the leading cause of hypertension because it increases cortisol output by the adrenal glands, which leads to hypertension. This study is a literature review which includes completing a journal review applying comparative research methods. The results indicate that there is a link. Cortisol levels and stress levels are linked in hypertensive patients because when stressed, the body releases more stress hormones (adrenaline and cortisol), which activates the Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System (RAAS), causing blood pressure increase..

Comparison Of Slang In Millennials And Gen Z: A Semantic Analysis In The Context Of Linguistic Learning

This research aims to compare the semantic phenomena of slang used by the Millennial generation and Gen Z on social media. The main focus of this research is to identify the types of slang that are often used by both generations, as well as understanding the meaning and reasons for the use of slang by the Millennial generation. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, with data obtained through journal reviews and analysis of documentation from social media such as Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter), and Instagram. This research found that there are significant differences in the types of slang used by the Millennial and Gen Z generations, which are influenced by cultural and technological developments. In addition, this research reveals that the main reason the Millennial generation uses slang on social media is to strengthen social ties, show familiarity, and follow trends. The use of slang is also considered a way to create a unique and relevant digital identity in their social environment.
