Résumé :

Introducción: El lavado de manos es la medida que más impacta en la prevención de infecciones asociadas a la atención en salud. Hay poca evidencia del rol que cumplen los uniformes clínicos como vector en transmisión cruzada de infecciones en hospitales. Método: Se realizó una revisión rápida con criterios Cochrane y lista de chequeo PRISMA con acceso a bases de datos PubMed, Ovid, ProQuest y Google Académico en español e inglés del 2010-2020. El objetivo establecido fue buscar evidencia sobre la persistencia de microorganismos de importancia intrahospitalaria en uniformes clínicos, a raíz de la actual pandemia de COVID-19. El análisis crítico de los artículos se realizó con ayuda de herramientas del Joanna Briggs Institute (checklist estudios analíticos, serie de casos, texto y opinión, ensayos clínicos controlados y revisiones sistemáticas). Resultados: En la búsqueda inicial se obtuvieron 1703 artículos, de los cuales fueron seleccionados 8. Se encuentra evidencia de presencia de microorganismos en uniformes clínicos. Las zonas más contaminadas son bolsillos y mangas. MERS-COV y SARS-COV han mostrado persistencia en aluminio hasta 48 horas, madera 4 días, papel hasta 24 horas. En género, el SARS-COV-2 ha demostrado una persistencia de 2 días. Conclusiones: Existe evidencia de la persistencia de microrganismos bacterianos y virales en uniformes clínicos. Los lugares más contaminados son bolsillos y mangas. Al contacto está demostrada la presencia de microrganismos en uniformes clínicos horas después. Se deben implementar medidas que tomen en cuenta el rol potencial de transmisión de patógenos durante el uso de uniformes clínicos en hospitales.

Résumé :

Objective: To describe and critically appraise the economic evaluations of antineoplastic drugs submitted to the ANS during the process of updating its 2020’ list of procedures. Methods: Cross-sectional study of critical analysis of the economic evaluation studies included in the documentation submitted to the ANS with the aim of incorporating them into the list of procedures. The methodological quality assessment was carried out using the Methodology Checklist 6: Economic Evaluations Version 3.0 of the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network. Results: Overall, 49 economic evaluations were included: 22 cost-effectiveness studies, 10 cost-utility studies, three cost-minimization studies and 14 mixed economic studies. Methodological quality was mostly considered as acceptable or low quality. Conclusion: Economic evaluation studies are fundamental in the decision-making process of incorporating technologies into supplementary health care. This critical appraisal suggests that the quality of the economic studies presented within the proposals to incorporate antineoplastics during the process of updating the ANS 2020 roll was limited. Methodological inconsistencies and lack of transparent reporting reduce the validity and applicability of findings for decision-making

Résumé :

Objetivo: O presente trabalho buscou analisar o nível de aderência (compliance) das empresas brasileiras do setor de telecomunicações listadas na B3 ao pronunciamento contábil CPC 47. Metodologia: Foi elaborado um checklist contendo 8 (oito) critérios que as empresas deveriam divulgar para obter alto nível de compliance ao CPC 47. Caracteriza-se por ser uma pesquisa documental com análise de conteúdo junto às demonstrações financeiras consolidadas (balanço patrimonial e demonstração de resultado do exercício), notas explicativas e relatórios da administração divulgados pelas companhias nos anos de 2017 e 2018. Resultados: Os resultados mostram que nenhuma empresa apresentou uma ampla aderência à nova norma. A empresa Telefônica Vivo Brasil foi a que apresentou maior nível, 56,25%, enquanto que a empresa Telebrás apresentou o menor, 29,16%. Adicionalmente, foi verificado se as empresas já divulgavam suas informações em conformidade à norma antes dela se tornar obrigatória, como forma de disclosure voluntário. As empresas OI S.A., Telebrás e Algar Telecom não apresentaram qualquer menção ao CPC 47 nos três primeiros trimestres do ano de 2017. Por outro lado, as empresas Telefônica Vivo Brasil e TIM Participações fizeram alusão à norma desde o primeiro período analisado. Contribuições do Estudo: É um tema atual nas pesquisas em contabilidade, por ser o ano de implementação do CPC 47, e relevante, pois trará mudanças significativas nos critérios de reconhecimento e evidenciação das receitas. A partir da revisão bibliográfica, verificou-se poucos estudos tratando o tema. A partir disso, esta pesquisa buscou contribuir no sentido de ampliar o rol de trabalhos produzidos sobre o novo CPC, com uma abordagem quantitativa, nas linhas de evidenciação contábil e regulação.

Résumé :

Los escarabajos del estiércol de la subfamilia Scarabaeinae suelen utilizarse como organismos focales para evaluar los impactos de origen antrópico sobre la biodiversidad. La distribución estatal de los Scarabaeinae en México es bastante heterogénea; mientras que algunos estados destacan por su alta diversidad, otros carecen de registros o la información disponible es escasa y se encuentra dispersa. La presente contribución constituye el primer intento de sintetizar toda la información disponible sobre la subfamilia Scarabaeinae en el estado de Quintana Roo (México) y presentar una lista anotada de especies actualizada. La información se obtuvo a partir de la revisión de literatura, bases de datos, así como de material entomológico proveniente de muestreos realizados en distintas zonas del estado. La lista está conformada por un total de 52 especies pertenecientes a 17 géneros. Dos especies se registran en Quintana Roo por primera vez: Onthophagus (Onthophagus) carpophilus Pereira y Halffter, 1961 y Pseudocanthon perplexus (LeConte, 1887). Los registros de siete especies se consideran dudosos y se excluyen de la lista ya que su presencia en el estado no se ajusta dentro de su área típica de distribución.

Résumé :

IntroductionOne potential source of bias in randomised clinical trials of psychological interventions is researcher allegiance (RA). The operationalisation of RA differs strongly across studies, and there is not a generally accepted method of operationalising or measuring it. Furthermore, it remains unclear as to how RA affects the outcomes of trials and if it results in better outcomes for a preferred intervention. The aim of this project is to develop and validate a scale that accurately identifies RA, contribute to the understanding of the impact that RA has in a research setting and to make recommendations for addressing RA in practice.Methods and analysisA scale will first be developed and validated to measure RA in psychotherapy trials. The scale will be validated by surveying authors of psychotherapy trials to assess their opinions, beliefs and preferences of psychotherapy interventions. Furthermore, the scale will be validated for use outside the field of psychotherapy. The validated checklist will then be used to examine two potential mechanisms of how RA may affect outcomes of interventions: publication bias (by assessing grants) and risk of bias (RoB). Finally, recommendations will be developed, and a feasibility study will be conducted at a national mental health agency in The Netherlands. Main analyses comprise inter-rater reliability of checklist items, correlations to examine the relationship between checklist items and author survey (convergent validity) as well as checklist items and trial outcomes and multivariate meta-regression techniques to assess potential mechanisms of how allegiance affects trial outcomes (publication bias and RoB).Ethics and disseminationThis study has been reviewed and approved by the Scientific and Ethical Review Board (VCWE) at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Study result and advancements will also be published on the Open Science Framework. Furthermore, main findings will be disseminated through articles in international peer-reviewed open access journals. Results and recommendations will be communicated to the Cochrane Collaboration, the Campbell Collaboration and other funding agencies.

Résumé :

ObjectivesTo assess the reporting quality of randomisation and allocation methods in occupational health and safety (OHS) trials in relation to Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) requirements of journals, risk of bias (RoB) and publication year.MethodsWe systematically searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in PubMed between 2010 and May 2019 in 18 OHS journals. We measured reporting quality as percentage compliance with the CONSORT 2010 checklist (items 8–10) and RoB with the ROB V.2.0 tool (first domain). We tested the mean difference (MD) in % in reporting quality between CONSORT-requiring and non-requiring journals, trials with low, some concern and high RoB and publications before and after 2015.ResultsIn 135 articles reporting on 129 RCTs, average reporting quality was at 37.4% compliance (95% CI 31.9% to 43.0%), with 10% of articles reaching 100% compliance. Reporting quality was significantly better in CONSORT-requiring journals than non-requiring journals (MD 31.0% (95% CI 21.4% to 40.7%)), for studies at low RoB than high RoB (MD 33.1% (95% CI 16.1% to 50.2%)) and with RoB of some concern (MD 39.8% (95% CI 30.0% to 49.7%)). Reporting quality did not improve over time (MD −5.7% (95% CI −16.8% to 5.4%).ConclusionsArticles in CONSORT-requiring journals and of low RoB studies show better reporting quality. Low reporting quality is linked to unclear RoB judgements (some concern). Reporting quality did not improve over the last 10 years and CONSORT is insufficiently implemented. Concerted efforts by editors and authors are needed to improve CONSORT implementation.

Résumé :

Clinical practice guidelines (CPG) can be defined as systematically developed recommendations and related content obtained by reviewing scientific evidence, which help healthcare providers make decisions. CPG is one of the most powerful tools that helps clinicians make evidence-based decisions in practice. Methodologies in areas essential for CPG development, such as for systematic review, risk of bias (ROB) assessment, adaptation, and the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations, are rapidly developing. Therefore, they must be well-understood and applied to evidence-based CPG development. In this regard, it is necessary to learn about the updates and changed in the methodologies for CPG development. This manuscript covers the following CPG development methodologies: (1) main principles of CPG, (2) managing conflict of interest, (3) considering patient value and preference, (4) determination of key questions, (5) ROB assessment, (6) adaptation, (7) rapid guideline development, (8) living guideline development, and (9) GIN-McMaster Guideline Development Checklist.

Résumé :

At the moment the educational paradigm is undergoing significant changes, the issues related to the introduction of online technologies, optimization of the distance learning process are becoming more relevant. Even though all participants in the educational process are given a huge number of modern forms, techniques, technologies to solve methodological and educational problems, the most demanded is blended learning. In this regard, the issue of the methodology of formation of communicative competence of students in the format of blended learning RLI as the main trajectory in the construction of the learning process is relevant. Moreover, it is not always clear which model of blended learning should be used for effective teaching Russian as a foreign language in accordance with specific conditions and didactic objectives. For this reason, the aim of this article is to develop a checklist that will help teachers choose the appropriate model of blended learning in Russian as a foreign language.

Résumé :

Background and aims. Resilience encompasses factors promoting effective functioning in the context of adversity. Data regarding resilience in the wake of accidental trauma is still scarce. The aim of the current study is to comparatively assess adaptive, life – promoting factors in persons exposed to motor vehicle accidents (MVA) vs. persons exposed to other types of accidents, and to identify psychological factors of resilience and vulnerability in this context of trauma exposure.Methods. We assessed 93 participants exposed to accidents out of 305 eligible patients from the Clinical Rehabilitation Hospital and Cluj County Emergency Hospital. The study used Reasons for Living Inventory (RFL) and Life Events Checklist. Scores were comparatively assessed for RFL items, RFL scale and subscales in participants exposed to motor vehicle accidents (MVA) vs. participants exposed to other life – threatening accidents.Results. Participants exposed to MVA and those exposed to other accidents had significantly different scores in 7 RFL items. Scores were high in 4 out of 6 RFL subscales for both samples and in most items comprising these subscales, while in the other 2 subscales and in some items comprising them scores were low.Conclusions. Low fear of death, physical suffering and social disapproval emerge as risk factors in persons exposed to life – threatening accidents. Love of life, courage in life and hope for the future are important resilience factors after exposure to various types of life – threatening accidents. Survival and active coping beliefs promote resilience especially after motor vehicle accidents. Coping with uncertainty are more likely to foster resilience after other types of life – threatening accidents. Attachment of the accident victim to family promotes resilience mostly after MVA, while perceived attachment of family members to the victim promotes resilience after other types of accidents.

Résumé :

Abstract Objectives Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) is a psychophysical parameter that is used to reflect the efficacy of endogenous pain inhibition. CPM reliability is important for research and potential clinical applications. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the reliability of CPM tests in healthy individuals and chronic pain patients. Methods We searched three databases for peer-reviewed studies published from inception to October 2020: EMBASE, Web of Science and NCBI. Risk of bias and the quality of the included studies were assessed. A meta-analysis with a random effects model was conducted to estimate intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). Results Meta-analysis was performed on 25 papers that examined healthy participants (k=21) or chronic pain patients (k=4). The highest CPM intra-session reliability was with pressure as test stimulus (TS) and ischemic pressure (IP) or cold pressor test (CPT) as conditioning stimulus (CS) in healthy individuals (ICC 0.64, 95% CI 0.45–0.77), and pressure as TS with CPT as CS in patients (ICC 0.77, 95% CI 0.70–0.82). The highest inter-session ICC was with IP as TS and IP or CPT as CS (ICC 0.51, 95% CI 0.42–0.59) in healthy subjects. The only data available in patients for inter-session reliability were with pressure as TS and CPT as CS (ICC 0.44, 95% CI 0.11–0.69). Quality ranged from very good to excellent using the QACMRR checklist. The majority of the studies (24 out of 25) scored inadequate in Kappa coefficient reporting item of the COSMIN-ROB checklist. Conclusions Pressure and CPT were the TS and CS most consistently associated with good to excellent intra-session reliability in healthy volunteers and chronic pain patients. The inter-session reliability was fair or less for all modalities, both in healthy volunteers and chronic pain patients.

Résumé :

Front-of-package (FOP) food labels may impact healthy food-related behavior. However, such labels may be presented using new technology and they may impact behavior differently than physical labels. This systematic review investigated the effects of physical and digitalized labels on healthy food-related behavior. This review used four search engines to collect articles that investigated the effects of food labels on the purchase, consumption, hypothetical choice, and self-reports of healthy foods. General findings, types of labels, or whether the articles used physical versus digitalized static, interactive, or technology-enabled labels were synthesized. The dependent variables were categorized according to whether they were under full, partial, or no control of the independent variables. The risk of bias was measured by the RoB 2 tool and adapted Joanna Briggs Institute Checklist. The search strategy identified 285 records and 30 articles were included. While digitalized static and physical labels did not differ in their effects on healthy food-related behavior, technology-enabled labels were more predictive of healthy food-related behavior than interactive labels.

Résumé :

Abstract AIMS Several studies have evaluated health-related quality of life (HRQoL) through patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in high-grade glioma (HGG) patients. No systematic review has summarised this increasingly important research area. METHOD Seven electronic databases were systematically searched. Primary research articles evaluating HRQoL in HGG patients through PRO assessment were included. Global, physical, mental, and social health were summarised descriptively. Risk of bias (RoB) of included studies was assessed using The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tool or Newcastle Ottawa Scale. Quality of study reporting was assessed using a modified ISOQOL checklist. RESULTS Twenty-six studies were included (4,451 patients): cross-sectional (n=14), longitudinal (n=12). RoB and quality of reporting were satisfactory. Ten PRO measurement instruments were identified, of which EORTC-QLQ-C30 (n=15) was utilised most frequently. Fatigue significantly impacted both physical and global health. HRQoL improved after surgery but recurrence, fatigue, and difficulties with activities of daily living were associated with worsening HRQoL. HGG patients had higher anxiety and depression scores than the general population, negatively impacting overall HRQoL. Social health was superior for patients with good supportive networks, but a majority do not return to full-time employment post-diagnosis. Long-term survivors reported improvements in their physical, social and emotional functioning over time. CONCLUSION With HGG life expectancy less than 12 months post-diagnosis, HRQoL is of paramount importance to patients. PRO assessment of HRQoL can be used to evaluate self-reported functioning and well-being in both routine practice and clinical trial settings and provide opportunities for timely intervention.

Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to examine and compare the diagnostic accuracy of the Conners 3–Parent Short Form (C 3-P(S)), and the Conners 3–Teacher Short Form (C 3-T(S)) inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity scales, and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and Teacher’s Report Form (TRF) attention problems scales, to distinguish those with and without attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It also examined and compared the diagnostic accuracy of the C 3-P(S) and C 3-T(S) Aggression (AG) scales, and the CBCL and TRF Aggressive Behavior (AB) scales, to distinguish those with and without oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). The study used archival data ( N = 150-261) involving a large group of clinic-referred children aged between 6 and 11 years who had been interviewed for clinical diagnosis of ADHD and ODD using the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for Children (ADISC-IV) as the reference standard, and then administered one or more of the screening measures. The findings provided empirical support for the use of the C 3-P(S) and CBCL for identifying ADHD and ODD, with the CBCL aggressive behavior scale having better ability to detect ODD. The implications of the findings for using the screening scales for diagnoses of ADHD and ODD are discussed.

ABSTRACT Background Dietary exposure assessments are a critical issue in evaluating human nutrition studies; however, nutrition-specific criteria are not consistently included in existing bias assessment tools. Objectives Our objective was to develop a set of risk of bias (RoB) tools that integrated nutrition-specific criteria into validated generic assessment tools to address RoB issues, including those specific to dietary exposure assessment. Methods The Nutrition QUality Evaluation Strengthening Tools (NUQUEST) development and validation process included 8 steps. The first steps identified 1) a development strategy; 2) generic assessment tools with demonstrated validity; and 3) nutrition-specific appraisal issues. This was followed by 4) generation of nutrition-specific items and 5) development of guidance to aid users of NUQUEST. The final steps used established ratings of selected studies and feedback from independent raters to 6) assess reliability and validity; 7) assess formatting and usability; and 8) finalize NUQUEST. Results NUQUEST is based on the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network checklists for randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case-control studies. Using a purposive sample of 45 studies representing the 3 study designs, interrater reliability was high (Cohen's κ: 0.73; 95% CI: 0.52, 0.93) across all tools and at least moderate for individual tools (range: 0.57–1.00). The use of a worksheet improved usability and consistency of overall interrater agreement across all study designs (40% without worksheet, 80%–100% with worksheet). When compared to published ratings, NUQUEST ratings for evaluated studies demonstrated high concurrent validity (93% perfect or near-perfect agreement). Where there was disagreement, the nutrition-specific component was a contributing factor in discerning exposure methodological issues. Conclusions NUQUEST integrates nutrition-specific criteria with generic criteria from assessment tools with demonstrated reliability and validity. NUQUEST represents a consistent and transparent approach for evaluating RoB issues related to dietary exposure assessment commonly encountered in human nutrition studies.

Résumé :

Botanists have not yet reached an agreement regarding the number of species and lower taxa within the Corylus L. genus (hazel). According to different literature sources worldwide, 14, 16,18, or 20 species have been described within the genus. There are many synonyms in the scientific literature for the same species, which creates additional confusion in determining the total number of species within the genus. According to the WCSP (World Checklist of Selected Plant Families), (http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/synonomy.do?name_id=47827), 16 species have been recognized worldwide. According to this valid classification based on morpho-anatomical characteristics, all hazels are divided into two sections, and each section into two subsections. The paper presents the main differences between these groups and subgroups, as well as their distribution in the world. Special attention is given to the range of distribution, morpho-anatomical characteristics, systematic classification, and relatedness of Corylus colurna L. to other species.

Résumé :

IntroductionMultiple Sclerosis is a progressive, degenerating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which affects more than 2.5 million people worldwide. The monoclonal antibody natalizumab (TysabriTM) has been approved by the European Medicines Agency in 2006. Yet, the treatment is associated with an increased risk of developing progressive multifocal encephalopathy (PML). The aim of the systematic review was to investigate whether natalizumab is more effective and safer than alternative pharmacological therapies or placebo over a prolonged period (≥ 36 months) with respect to annualised relapse rate (ARR), disability progression, quality of life and number of serious adverse events (SAEs).MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted considering randomized controlled trials (no restriction in length) and prospective, non-randomized controlled trials. In terms of safety, prospective single arm studies were additionally included. The risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using the Cochrane RoB tool (RCT), the ROBINS-I tool (NRCT) and the Institute of Health Economics quality appraisal checklist (IHE-20) for case series (single-arm studies). The quality of evidence was determined using the GRADE-method (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation).ResultsFor the assessment of clinical effectiveness, three studies (one RCT and two NRCTs) met the inclusion criteria. No significant differences regarding the ARR and disability progression were detected, if natalizumab was compared to an alternative treatment with fingolimod. Yet, if compared to placebo or a group of natalizumab interrupters, a 70 percent reduction in the ARR was observed. For the assessment of safety, seven studies met the inclusion criteria. The proportion of patients suffering from SAEs ranged from 2.4 percent to 16.0 percent. In total, 35 cases of PML occurred. The results were supported by a very low quality of evidence.ConclusionsFuture research should provide more head-to-head RCTs comparing natalizumab with other disease modulating drugs along with a comprehensive documentation of adverse events.

Résumé :

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine and report on the extent and firm characteristics that determine the practices of online financial disclosure (OFD) by the Islamic banks in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.Design/methodology/approachData were collected using the websites of 48 Islamic banks listed on the stock markets in the GCC countries. Moreover, the study used the websites of the stock markets to get more financial information which was not found on the websites of the banks. The study covered a period of three years from 2015 to 2017. A checklist was used to compute the total level of OFD.FindingsThis study found that the overall level of OFD in the GCC by Islamic banks is 72.4 percent. The results also report a significant and positive relationship with firm size. On the other hand, the results show an insignificant relationship with profitability (ROE and ROA), leverage and age.Practical implicationsThe paper provides awareness regarding OFD that might prove beneficial to the various stakeholders of the banks including investors, regulators and preparers of financial statements.Originality/valueThis paper is an important contribution to filling the gap in the literature, as there are a negligible number of studies dealing with OFD from an Islamic perspective.

Résumé :

The purpose of the present investigation was to explore the adjustment of adolescents who had experienced the death of a parent relative to those who had experienced parental divorce. A 3 (type of loss: parental death, parental divorce, and control) × 3 (age: early, middle, late) × 2 (gender) Multivariate analysis of covariance with socioeconomic status and social desirability as covariates was performed on the subscales of the Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL). Main effects for type of loss indicated that the parental death and divorce groups, although not differing from each other, scored significantly higher than the control group on the HSCL subscales of Somatization, Obsessive-Compulsive, and Depression. In contrast, only the parental death group scored significantly higher on the HSCL Interpersonal Sensitivity subscale which measures uneasiness and negative expectations regarding personal communications as well as interpersonal inadequacy and inferiority. These results indicate that parental death and divorce losses impair the intrapersonal adjustment of adolescents. In addition, findings suggest that parental death is unique in that it disturbs perceptions of interpersonal relationships, a fact which may result in isolation and rob adolescents of needed support at a time when relationships with others (e.g., peers, parents, teachers) are critical to adjustment, well-being, and identity development.

Résumé :

The use of virtual worlds in health-related education is increasingly popular, but an overview of their use in physiotherapy education is still needed. The aim of this review was to analyse the use of virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) compared to traditional methods for teaching physiotherapy. A systematic review was performed up to October 2022 in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, and PsycInfo. The quality appraisal and risk of bias were assessed by the Joana Briggs Institute checklist and the Cochrane Collaboration’s RoB Tool 2.0, respectively. A total of seven randomised and non-randomised controlled studies were included, involving 737 students. VR/AR-based teaching approaches included simulation and virtual worlds, and were conducted through immersive head-mounted displays, AR-based applications, and 3D visualisations. Three studies were focused on teaching anatomy content, two on clinical decision making skills, and the rest were focused on pathology, physiotherapy tasks or exercise performance, and movement analysis of lower limbs. Inconclusive results were found in terms of learning satisfaction and academic performance, showing VR/AR-based teaching models to be equally effective as traditional methods for teaching physiotherapy. We encourage researchers and teachers to include games in their VR/AR-based teaching approaches to enhance interaction and active learning in physiotherapy education.

This study aims to determine the suitability of annual reports that reflectIslamic Corporate Identity and its influence on the performance of islamicbank. Design of this research is causal research with quantitative approach.Samples of this research are Bank Muamalat Indonesia and Bank SyariahMandiri. Secondary data were obtained from annual reports from 2010 to2012 as data collection techniques of this study. To analyze the data of Islamic Corporate Identity (ICI), the writer used a checklist of eight dimensions disclosed in annual reports of Islamic banks. The analysis technique used is the panel data regression analysis using eviews. The results of this study can be concluded that the disclosure of Islamic Corporate Identity (ICI) in the annual report of Bank Muamalat Indonesia and Bank Mandiri Syariah compliant reporting standards that reflect the Islamic ideal Corporate Identity (ICI) with an average value of 85%. Islamic Corporate Identity (ICI) has influence on a CAR of 85.30%, amounting to 92.67% FDR, NPF amounting to 95.2%. Islamic Corporate Identity (ICI) has no effect on ROA, ROE and ROA.Perbankan Syariah merupakan representasi dari gelombang baru perusahaanyang mempunyai fungsi sosial sejajar penti ngnya dengan mencari keuntungan (profit oriented). Salah satu fungsi sosial tersebut adalah zakat. Apabila perusahaan berorientasi pada zakat berarti sama halnya dengan berorientasi pada kinerja perusahaan secara keseluruhan, sebab untuk meningkatkan kemampuan zakat perusahaan harus terlebih dahulu meningkatkan kinerja perusahaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh kinerja keuangan terhadap zakat perbankan syariah. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian terapan. Variabel Independen yang digunakan adalah kinerja keuangan diproksi dengan Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR), Non Performing Financing (NPF), Return on Asset (ROA) dan Biaya Operasional terhadap Pendapatan Operasional (BO/PO), variabel dependen berupa zakat perbankan syariah. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah perbankan syariah, baik Bank Umum Syariah (BUS) maupun Unit Usaha Syariah (UUS) di Indonesia. Metode penentuan sampel dengan metode purposive sampling, dan berdasarkan kriteria jumlah sampel yaitu tiga BUS dan dua UUS periode tahun 2007-2012. Data penelitian merupakan data sekunder berupa laporan tahunan dan laporan keuangan yang diperoleh masing-masing dari annual report. Pengujian hipotesis penelitian digunakan teknik analisis regresi dengan data panel dengan alat bantu aplikasi eviews versi 6. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: 1) Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) berpengaruh signifikan terhadap zakat, 2) Non Performing Financing (NPF) tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap zakat, 3) Return on Asset (ROA) tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap zakat, 4) Biaya Operasional terhadap Pendapatan Operasional (BO/PO) berpengaruh signifikan terhadap zakat. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kinerja keuangan memiliki pengaruh yang berbeda pada setiap rasio yang diwakili terhadap zakat perbankan syariah. Hal ini ditunjukkan oleh adanya pengaruh FDR dan BO/PO terhadap zakat perbankan syariah, sedangkan ROA dan NPF tidak berpengaruh terhadap zakat. Namun, variabel independen secara simultan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap variabel dependen. Sehingga disimpulkan bahwa untuk mencapai kinerja perusahaan yang tinggi dibutuhkan kemampuan untuk meningkatkan zakat.

Résumé :

Purpose: This study aimed to summarize the current evidence on the effects of nonpharmacological interventions on psychological health outcomes for women with high-risk pregnancies due to conditions such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, or preterm labor.Methods: The following databases were searched from January 2000 to December 2020: PubMed, Ovid Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, DBpia, RISS, and KISS. Two investigators independently reviewed and selected articles according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria. RoB 2 and the ROBINS-I checklist were used to evaluate study quality.Results: Twenty-nine studies with a combined total of 1,806 pregnant women were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. Psychological health improvements were found in women with preeclampsia (Hedges’ g=–0.67; 95% confidence interval [CI], –0.91 to –0.44), gestational diabetes (Hedges’ g=–0.38; 95% CI, –0.54 to –0.12), and preterm labor (Hedges’ g=–0.73; 95% CI, –1.00 to –0.46). The funnel plot was slightly asymmetrical, but the fail-safe N value and the trim-and-fill method showed no publication bias.Conclusion: Nonpharmacological interventions for women with high-risk pregnancies due to conditions such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and preterm labor can improve psychological parameters such as anxiety, stress, and depression. Nurses can play a pivotal role in the nursing management of pregnant women with high-risk conditions and apply various types of nonpharmacological interventions to meet their needs in uncertain and anxious times during pregnancy.

Résumé :

IntroductionPost-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) can be triggered following exposure to a traumatic event, such as violence, disasters, serious accidents and injury. Little is known about which interventions provide the greatest benefit for PTSS. This systematic review aims to estimate the effects of early interventions on PTSS following musculoskeletal trauma.Methods/analysisDevelopment of this review protocol was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols checklist. This review will include randomised controlled trials and non-randomised controlled studies evaluating the effect of early (within 3 months of a traumatic event) non-pharmacological and non-surgical interventions on PTSS in adults (aged ≥18 years). MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase, CINAHL, Zetoc, PROSPERO, Web of Science, PubMed and Google Scholar, as well as key journals/grey literature, will be searched from inception to 31 July 2022. Only articles published in English will be considered. Two independent reviewers will search, screen studies, extract data and assess risk of bias using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool V.2 (RoB 2) and the Risk Of Bias in Non-randomised Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I), respectively. Mean difference or standardised mean difference (SMD) will be extracted with accompanying 95% CIs and p values where these are reported. Group effect size will be extracted and reported. Symptoms of PTSS will be ascertained using SMDs (continuous) and diagnosis of PTSS using risk ratio (dichotomous). If possible, study results will be pooled into a meta-analysis. A narrative synthesis of the results will be presented if heterogeneity is high. The overall quality of evidence and risk of bias will be assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation, RoB 2 and ROBINS-I guidelines, respectively.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required for this systematic review since data from published studies will be used. This review is expected to provide a better understanding of the effect of early intervention for PTSS following musculoskeletal trauma. Findings of this review will be disseminated in peer-reviewed publications and through national and international conferences.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42022333905

Résumé :

Background Chronic pain (CP) is 1 of the leading causes of disability worldwide and represents a significant burden on individual, social, and economic aspects. Potential tools, such as mobile health (mHealth) systems, are emerging for the self-management of patients with CP. Objective A systematic review was conducted to analyze the effects of mHealth interventions on CP management, based on pain intensity, quality of life (QoL), and functional disability assessment, compared to conventional treatment or nonintervention. Methods PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) guidelines were followed to conduct a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) databases from February to March 2022. No filters were used. The eligibility criteria were RCTs of adults (≥18 years old) with CP, intervened with mHealth systems based on mobile apps for monitoring pain and health-related outcomes, for pain and behavioral self-management, and for performing therapeutic approaches, compared to conventional treatments (physical, occupational, and psychological therapies; usual medical care; and education) or nonintervention, reporting pain intensity, QoL, and functional disability. The methodological quality and risk of bias (RoB) were assessed using the Checklist for Measuring Quality, the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine Levels of Evidence, and the Cochrane RoB 2.0 tool. Results In total, 22 RCTs, involving 2641 patients with different CP conditions listed in the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision (ICD-11), including chronic low back pain (CLBP), chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMSP), chronic neck pain (CNP), unspecified CP, chronic pelvic pain (CPP), fibromyalgia (FM), interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and osteoarthritis (OA). A total of 23 mHealth systems were used to conduct a variety of CP self-management strategies, among which monitoring pain and symptoms and home-based exercise programs were the most used. Beneficial effects of the use of mHealth systems in reducing pain intensity (CNP, FM, IC/BPS, and OA), QoL (CLBP, CNP, IBS, and OA), and functional disability (CLBP, CMSP, CNP, and OA) were found. Most of the included studies (18/22, 82%) reported medium methodological quality and were considered as highly recommendable; in addition, 7/22 (32%) studies had a low RoB, 10/22 (45%) had some concerns, and 5/22 (23%) had a high RoB. Conclusions The use of mHealth systems indicated positive effects for pain intensity in CNP, FM, IC/BPS, and OA; for QoL in CLBP, CNP, IBS, and OA; and for functional disability in CLBP, CMSP, CNP, and OA. Thus, mHealth seems to be an alternative to improving pain-related outcomes and QoL and could be part of multimodal strategies for CP self-management. High-quality studies are needed to merge the evidence and recommendations of the use of mHealth systems for CP management.

Résumé :

COVID-19 is a multisystemic disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The immunopathogenic conditions of the hyperinflammatory response that cause systemic inflammation are extremely linked to its severity. This research sought to review the immunopathological elements that contribute to its progression. This is a systematic review using the PUBMED, LILACS, MEDLINE, and SCIELO databases using articles between May 2020 and July 2022 with the following search terms in conjunction with “AND”: “SARS-CoV-2”; “COVID-19”; “ARDS” and “Cytokine Storm”. The quality appraisal and risk of bias were assessed by the JBI checklists and the Cochrane Collaboration’s RoB 2.0 and ROBINS-I tools, respectively, and the risk of bias for in vitro studies by a pre-defined standard in the literature. The search resulted in 39 articles. The main actors in this response denote SARS-CoV-2 Spike proteins, cellular proteases, leukocytes, cytokines, and proteolytic cascades. The “cytokine storm” itself brings several complications to the host through cytokines such as IL-6 and chemokines (such as CCL2), which influence tissue inflammation through apoptosis and pyroptosis. The hyperinflammatory response causes several unfavorable outcomes in patients, and systemic inflammation caused largely by the dysregulation of the immune response should be controlled for their recovery.

Résumé :

IntroductionSelf-efficacy is associated with management of diseases, psychological well-being, improved quality of life and rehabilitation adherence. Several instruments related to behaviour or specific disease (eg, coronary artery disease (CAD)) assess self-efficacy. The evaluation of cardiac self-efficacy in individuals with CAD will support healthcare professionals to improve self-efficacy via interventions; therefore, a suitable instrument is crucial. This systematic review aims to assess measurement properties, methodological quality and content of outcome measures of cardiac self-efficacy instruments for individuals with CAD.Methods and analysisThe study has been developed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocol and Consensus Norms for Selection of Health Measuring Instruments (COSMIN). The following databases will be searched: MEDLINE (Ovid), Web of Science, EMBASE and PsycINFO. Studies assessing measurement properties of cardiac self-efficacy instruments for individuals with CAD will be included. No date or language restrictions will be applied to the search. Two independent authors will be responsible for assessing the eligibility of studies. Methodological quality of studies will be assessed using the COSMIN RoB Checklist, and the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Assessment will be used to assess the quality of each study. Two authors will independently evaluate the content of instruments and link this to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.Ethics and disseminationThis study does not require ethics committee approval since it is based on previously published data. Evidence from this systematic review will be disseminated through publication in peer-reviewed journals and presentation at scientific conferences.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42021262613.

Résumé :

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the content and effectiveness of psychosocial support interventions for women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods: The following databases were searched with no limitation of the time period: Ovid-MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Ovid-Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, NDSL, KoreaMed, RISS, and KISS. Two investigators independently reviewed and selected articles according to the predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria. ROB 2.0 and the RoBANS 2.0 checklist were used to evaluate study quality.Results: Based on the 14 selected studies, psychosocial support interventions were provided for the purpose of (1) informational support (including GDM and diabetes mellitus information; how to manage diet, exercise, stress, blood glucose, and weight; postpartum management; and prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus); (2) self-management motivation (setting goals for diet and exercise management, glucose monitoring, and enhancing positive health behaviors); (3) relaxation (practicing breathing and/or meditation); and (4) emotional support (sharing opinions and support). Psychosocial supportive interventions to women with GDM lead to behavioral change, mostly in the form of self-care behavior; they also reduce depression, anxiety and stress, and have an impact on improving self-efficacy. These interventions contribute to lowering physiological parameters such as fasting plasma glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and 2-hour postprandial glucose levels.Conclusion: Psychosocial supportive interventions can indeed positively affect self-care behaviors, lifestyle changes, and physiological parameters in women with GDM. Nurses can play a pivotal role in integrative management and can streamline the care for women with GDM during pregnancy and following birth, especially through psychosocial support interventions.

Résumé :

Multiple studies support the relationship between ADHD and overweight/obesity in youth. Different mechanisms may be involved, such as temperamental and psychopathological factors. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that specific temperamental and psychopathological dimensions could mediate the relationship between ADHD and obesity. The sample included 100 children and adolescents (78 males and 22 females; age range 6 to 18 years; mean age 9.90 ± 2.5 years). The assessment procedure included Conners’ Parent Rating Scale—Long (CPRS-R:L) as the inclusion criterion for ADHD diagnosis, the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), a dimensional measure for psychopathology, and the Junior Temperament and Character Inventory, which describes four temperamental dimensions: novelty seeking (NS), harm avoidance (HA), reward dependence (RD), and persistence (P). While in the whole ADHD sample, the highest scores were found in NS and the lowest in P, ADHD with overweight/obesity, compared to ADHD with normal weight, showed higher HA and RD, lower NS, and higher CBCL Internalizing scores. These findings suggest that ADHD youth with overweight/obesity present specific temperamental and psychopathological features compared to those without overweight/obesity. If confirmed in larger samples, using a control group without ADHD, these temperamental and psychological features may be helpful for an earlier recognition of ADHD patients at higher risk for obesity, and may represent possible targets for temperament-based preventive interventions and tailored treatment programs. These features should be included in the routine assessment of children and adolescents with ADHD and/or are overweight/obese.

Résumé :

Background: Total serum bilirubin (TSB) is used in managing neonates with jaundice, but clear evidence on its association with major outcomes is lacking. Objectives: We evaluated the association between TSB and kernicterus spectrum disorder (KSD). Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and CENTRAL till July 2021. Two authors independently selected relevant cohort studies, extracted data (CHARMS checklist), assessed risk of bias (RoB) (QUIPS tool), and rated certainty-of-evidence (Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation). We pooled adjusted odds ratio (aOR) (random-effect) via generic inverse variance methods. Results: From 2,826 records retrieved, we included 37 studies (n = 648,979). Fifteen studies had low, 16 moderate, and 6 high RoB, with majority having concerns on confounder adjustment and statistical analysis. Twenty-two studies contributed meta-analysis data, and 15 were summarized narratively. TSB appears associated with KSD in infants with certain risk factors (aOR 1.10, 95% CI: 1.07–1.13; 5 studies [n = 4,484]). However, TSB (aOR 1.10, 95% CI: 0.98–1.23; 1 study [n = 34,533]) or hyperbilirubinemia (aOR 1.00, 95% CI: 0.51–1.95; 2 studies [n = 56,578]) have no clear association with kernicterus or neurological diagnosis in overall neonatal population (moderate-certainty-evidence). One study shows that infants with hyperbilirubinemia appear likelier to develop attention-deficit disorder (aOR 1.90, 95% CI: 1.10–3.28) and autistic spectrum disorder (aOR 1.60, 95% CI: 1.03–2.49, n = 56,019) (low-certainty-evidence). Certain clinical factors appear associated with KSD, although very few studies contributed to the analyses. Conclusions: Despite the importance of this question, there is insufficient high-quality evidence on the independent prognostic value of TSB for adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in most neonatal populations. Future studies should incorporate all known risk factors alongside TSB in a multivariable analysis to improve certainty-of-evidence.

Résumé :

Background. Cervical radiculopathy is defined as a disorder involving dysfunction of the cervical nerve roots characterised by pain radiating and/or loss of motor and sensory function towards the root affected. There is no consensus on a good definition of the term. In addition, the evidence regarding the effectiveness of manual therapy in radiculopathy is contradictory. Objective. To assess the effectiveness of manual therapy in improving pain, functional capacity, and range of motion in treating cervical radiculopathy with and without confirmation of altered nerve conduction. Methods. Systematic review of randomised clinical trials on cervical radiculopathy and manual therapy, in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, PEDro, and Cochrane Library Plus databases. The PRISMA checklist was followed. Methodological quality was evaluated using the PEDro scale and RoB 2.0. tool. Results. 17 clinical trials published in the past 10 years were selected. Manual therapy was effective in the treatment of symptoms related to cervical radiculopathy in all studies, regardless of the type of technique and dose applied. Conclusions. This systematic review did not establish which manual therapy techniques are the most effective for cervical radiculopathy with electrophysiological confirmation of altered nerve conduction. Without this confirmation, the application of manual therapy, regardless of the protocol applied and the manual therapy technique selected, appears to be effective in reducing chronic cervical pain and decreasing the index of cervical disability in cervical radiculopathy in the short term. However, it would be necessary to agree on a definition and diagnostic criteria of radiculopathy, as well as the definition and standardisation of manual techniques, to analyse the effectiveness of manual therapy in cervical radiculopathy in depth.

Résumé :

Objective: Determine if exercise interventions, beyond what is already provided to children and preschool children, improve bone health and reduce fracture incidence. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis reported using the PRISMA guidelines. Certainty of evidence was assessed using GRADE recommendations. Data sources: Five electronic databases were searched for records: PUBMED; CINAHL; CENTRAL; SPORTDiscus; Web of Science. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies: Randomised, quasi-randomised and non-randomised controlled trials (including cluster-randomised) assessing the impact of additional exercise interventions (e.g., increased physical education classes or specific jumping programs) on bone health in children (6–12 years) and pre-school children (2–5 years) without dietary intervention. Results: Thirty-one records representing 16 distinct clinical trials were included. Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) and/or peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (pQCT) were used to quantify bone health. Increased femoral neck bone mineral content in children with additional exercise interventions (n = 790, SMD = 0.55, 95% CI = 0.01 to 1.09) was reported, however this was not significant following sensitivity analysis. Other DXA and pQCT measures, as well as fracture incidence, did not appear to significantly differ over time between intervention and control groups. No studies reported adverse events. Studies failed to report all domains within the TIDieR checklist. All studies were at high risk of bias using the Cochrane RoB Tool 2.0. The certainty of the evidence was very low. Conclusions: The addition of exercise interventions, beyond what is provided to children, does not appear to improve DXA and pQCT measures of bone health. The effect of additional exercise interventions on bone health in pre-school children is largely unknown. Future trials should ensure adherence is clearly reported and controlled for within analysis as well as including reports of adverse events (e.g., apophysitis) that occur due to increased exercise interventions.

Résumé :

This systematic review aimed to investigate the relation between orthodontic treatment (OT) and the incidence of the gingival black triangle (GBT) after completing treatment with a fixed orthodontic appliance, as well as the associated risk factors and the level of alveolar bone. Electronic and hand searches were conducted in three electronic databases for relevant articles published up to March 2022. Retrieved articles went through a two-step screening procedure, and the risk of bias (RoB) was assessed by the Joanna Briggs Institute checklists. The incidence of GBT after OT was set as the primary outcome, while the secondary outcomes were the risk factors associated with GBT and alveolar bone loss following OT. Out of 421 papers, 5 were selected for the final analysis. The RoBs of three studies were moderate and the remaining two were low. The incidence of GBT following OT ranged from 38% to 58%. In addition, three studies reported that alveolar bone loss was reduced significantly following OT and associated with GBT, while one study found the opposite. Regarding the risk factors associated with GBT, the reported results attributed GBT to several factors including age, tooth-related factors, treatment duration, and soft tissue factors. The analysis indicates an increased incidence of GBT following OT; however, a firm conclusion cannot be drawn. Additionally, it was not possible to reach a consensus on risk factors associated with GBT due to the heterogeneity of the data. Therefore, further randomized clinical trials are highly recommended to draw a firm conclusion.

Résumé :

ObjectivesMedicinal plants are used globally as alternative medicines in the management of a range of disease conditions and are widely accepted across differing societies. Ethiopia hosts a large number of plant species (>7000 higher plant species), of which around 12% are thought to be endemic, making it a rich source of plant extracts potentially useful for human health. The aim of this review is to evaluate Ethiopian medicinal plants for their anti-inflammatory, wound healing, antifungal or antibacterial activities.Methods and analysisThe guidance of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) statement will be used. This review will consider all controlled studies of anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties (both in vivo and in vitro) and in vitro anti-infective properties of medicinal plants found in Ethiopia. Data sources will be EMBASE, PubMed/Medline, Scopus and Google Scholar. Guidance documents on good in vitro methods and checklists for reporting in vitro studies will be used for quality assessment of in vitro studies. The risk of bias tool for animal intervention studies (the SYRCLE RoB tool) will be used to assess the validity of studies. The main outcomes will be percent inhibition of inflammation, time of epithelisation and tissue tensile strength in wounds and microbial growth inhibition.Ethics and disseminationThe findings of this systematic review will be disseminated by publishing in a peer-reviewed journal and via conference presentations. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Brighton and Sussex Medical School, Research Governance & Ethics Committee (RGEC) and Addis Ababa University, College of Health Science, Institutional Review Board.PROSPERO registration numberThis systematic literature review has been registered with PROSPERO (registration number CRD42019127471).

Thirty-two papers were included in the systematic review, comprised of 29 unique studies, participants and topics and 3 follow-up studies. A variety of well-being and performance outcome measures were used. Overall, findings indicate that intrawork breaks improved some measures of well-being and/or work performance. However, methodological quality was judged to be low with a high risk of bias in most included studies.DiscussionUsing existing evidence, it is not possible to conclude with confidence whether intrawork breaks improve well-being and/or work performance in doctors. There is much inconsistency regarding how breaks are defined, measured and the outcomes used to assess effectiveness. Future research should seek to: (a) define and standardise the measurement of breaks, (b) use valid, reliable outcome measures to evaluate their impact on well-being and performance and (c) minimise the risk of bias in studies where possible.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42020156924;https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=156924.

Résumé :

Banks in UAE vary in their sizes, growth, market share, levels of market competition, complexity of financial instruments, etc. that impact their profitability. This reflects their management activities and, more generally, the way they develop and implement banking strategies that ensure growth and value creation and balancing out interests of all stakeholders involved. The researcher has a desire to have an in-depth understanding of banks in UAE. Considering how the banks are risk tolerant, manage different operations and departments, formulate strategy, and incorporate appropriate corporate culture, the researcher attempted to know the effect of corporate governance on banks performance. The area of this research is not easy to find a comprehensive topic in, at least not in the Middle East. The motivation behind this paper is to explore the UAE national banks' practices of corporate governance. The researcher analyzed corporate governance framework in UAE banks to study whether it help develop a sustainable risk/reward strategy for the banking industry in UAE. In order to examine the relationship between corporate governance and performance in UAE banks, the researcher prepared a detailed questionnaire to and collected data from the respondent. The research hypothesis was there is no correlation between the indicators of CG and the indicators of profitability in UAE commercial banks for 2017. The importance of this study revolves around the fact that the relationship between stakeholders and return levels are highly related to the finance and banking sector, and governance structure of any bank is fundamental to its existence; therefore, the role of CG is of great importance, and conducting practices and processes and formulating appropriate actions that could adapt to any risk level and provide the right alternative set of actions is important. The researcher attempted to study and test the causes that CG has on the bank performance. This causal study type of research leads us to classify it mainly into the explanatory type. Even though there is a description at the beginning about CG and profitability of banks, the ultimate goal is to test the impact of CG on banks profitability. The researcher employed the CG Index, descriptive statistics, correlation matrix, and multivariate regression to analyze the relationship between CG implementation and UAE banks' performance and test the hypotheses. Findings of the study revealed that several banks in UAE handle CG in a “checklist” approach, different from other regions which apply governance into practice. CG also handles the non-financial aspects. An important CG model has been developed by COSO that helps banks achieve their performance objectives in a management-adjusted way. It is assumed under normal conditions that the CG enhances bank performance. However, this depends on the quality of corporate governance implemented. The variables taken into account that would have a positive effect on performance were all the control variables. The regression models that were used to test the hypotheses did not support it. The effect of CG indexes showed that CG does not automatically result in better performance. Validity tests showed that model has to be improved, considering some moderate evidence on ROE. Forty percent of the variation in the ROE and a small amount of variation in ROA and PM are explained by the predictor variables used. An important CG model has been developed by COSO that helps banks achieve their performance objectives in a management-adjusted way. It is assumed under normal conditions that the CG enhances bank performance.

Résumé :

BackgroundFacial emotion identification (FEI) deficits are associated with impaired social functioning in persons living with schizophrenia (PLwS), but the research on emotion-specific FEI deficits remains inconclusive. Furthermore, existing studies on FEI deficits are limited by their small sample sizes. We performed a meta-analysis of studies comparing the FEI abilities between Chinese PLwS and healthy controls in terms of the six basic facial emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, disgust, anger, and surprise), as well as contempt, calmness, and neutral facial expressions.MethodsMajor Chinese- and English-language databases were searched to retrieve case-control studies that compared the FEI task performance between Chinese PLwS and healthy controls (HCs) and reported the emotion-specific correct identification scores for PLwS and HCs. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Case-control Studies (“JBI checklist,” hereafter) was used to assess the risk of bias (RoB) of the included studies. Statistical analysis was performed using the “meta” package of R 4.1.2.ResultsTwenty-three studies with a total of 28 case-control cohorts and 1,894 PLwS and 1,267 HCs were included. The RoB scores of the included studies ranged from two to seven. PLwS had statistically significantly lower FEI scores than HCs and the corresponding emotion-specific pooled standard mean differences (95% confidence intervals) were −0.69 (−0.88, −0.50) for happiness, −0.88 (−1.12, −0.63) for sadness, −1.44 (−1.83, −1.06) for fear, −1.18 (−1.60, −0.76) for disgust, −0.91 (−1.24, −0.57) for anger, −1.09 (−1.39, −0.78) for surprise, −0.26 (−0.51, −0.01) for contempt, −0.31 (−0.52, −0.09) for calmness, and −0.42 (−0.65, −0.18) for neutral. In the analyses of sources of heterogeneity, drug-naïve status, clinical setting, positive and negative psychotic symptoms, and RoB were significant moderators of the magnitudes of FEI deficits.ConclusionsChinese PLwS have significant FEI impairments in terms of recognizing the six basic facial emotions, contempt, calmness, and neutral emotions, and the magnitude of impairment varies depending on the type of emotion, clinical characteristics, and the level of RoB of the study. It is necessary to consider the characteristics of FEI deficits and the clinical moderators in the FEI deficits to develop remediation strategies targeting FEI deficits in schizophrenia.

Aim The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate importance of TMJ and assessing the prevalence of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD) among the general population. Methodology Five main electronic databases and three grey literature were searched to identify observational studies in which TMJD was diagnosed using the research diagnostic criteria (RDC/TMD) or diagnostic criteria (DC/TMD). The studies were blindly selected by two reviewers based on eligibility criteria. Risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist, and the “R” Statistics software was used to perform meta-analyses. Results From 2741 articles, 21 were included. Ten studies were judged at low RoB, seven at moderate, and four at high. The TMJD investigated were as follows: arthralgia, disk displacement (DDs) with reduction (DDwR), DDwR with intermittent locking, DDs without reduction (DDwoR) with limited opening, DDwoR without limited opening, degenerative joint disease (DJD), osteoarthritis, osteoarthrosis, and subluxation. The main results from prevalence overall meta-analyses for adults/elderly are as follows: TMJD (31.1%), DDs (19.1%), and DJD (9.8%). Furthermore, for children/adolescents are as follows: TMJD (11.3%), DDs (8.3%), and DJD (0.4%). Considering the individual diagnosis meta-analyses, the most prevalent TMJD is DDwR for adults/elderly (25.9%) and children/adolescents (7.4%).

Résumé :

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in randomized controlled trials pertaining to inflammatory bowel disease are important in identifying patients’ perspective of treatment. Incompletely reported PROs within trials could misrepresent information for clinicians and may contribute to treatment which lacks accommodation of patient input. Our study evaluates completeness of reporting of PROs and risk of bias (RoB) to identify how well trialists are adhering to known resources for trials. We used MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify eligible trials from 2006 to 2020 with at least 1 PRO measure related to inflammatory bowel disease. The trials were screened in duplicate using Rayyan. We then compared trial completion of reporting to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT)-PRO adaptation, and assessed RoB using the Cochrane Collaboration RoB 2.0 tool. To measure trial and reporting characteristics, we performed bivariate regression analyses. Among a sample of 29 trials, the mean completion percentage for CONSORT-PRO was 46.77%. We found PROs as a secondary outcome had significantly lower CONSORT-PRO reporting (p<0.05). In addition, per cent completeness of reporting was significantly higher with both a ‘therapy’ intervention, and trials published following the development of CONSORT-PRO (p<0.05). Incomplete PRO reporting is common in trials focused on inflammatory bowel disease. This suboptimal reporting indicates the need for adherence to reporting guidelines. Trialists should use the CONSORT-PRO checklist, as endorsed by Patient-Reported Outcomes Tools: Engaging Users and Stakeholders, to assess their studies in order to enhance reporting adherence.

Résumé :

Abstract Background This review synthesizes the available evidence about the predisposition of individuals with asthma or allergies to orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR) and possible factors related to root resorption that were investigated in the included studies, such as the type of malocclusion, duration of orthodontic treatment, and tooth units. Material and methods Six electronic databases and partial gray literature were searched without date or language restrictions until September 2020. Prospective and retrospective observational cohort and case-control studies were included. The risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using the checklists from the Joanna Briggs Institute and the certainty of the evidence using the GRADE tool. To complement the case-control studies, the odds ratio (OR) of the individuals with allergies/asthma to develop root resorption was calculated. Results Six studies were included. One study with low RoB, one with moderate, and one with high RoB stated that allergic patients did not report a greater chance of developing OIIRR (OR = 1.17 to 2.10, p = 0.1 to 1), while only one study with low RoB reported that individuals with allergies tend to develop root resorption (OR = 2.4, 95% CI = 1.08-5.37). Three studies with low RoB and one with moderate showed no significant association between asthma and OIIRR (OR = 1.05 to 3.42, p = 0.12 to 0.94). No association was identified between the type of malocclusion and the degree of OIIRR. Uniradicular dental units and a prolonged treatment time seem to be associated with an increased risk of resorption. The certainty of the evidence was considered low for both exposure factors. Conclusion Evidence with a low level of certainty indicates that individuals with allergies or asthma are not more predisposed to OIIRR. Uniradicular teeth and long-term orthodontic treatments are associated with a higher risk of OIIRR. Systematic review registration PROSPERO CRD42020188463

Résumé :

AbstractThis study aimed to systematically review the correlational accuracy between width ratios and length ratios based on the Kvaal methodology with chronological age. This systematic review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). The search strategy included ProQuest, PubMed, Science Direct, and Taylor and Francis and Willey online without time or language restriction using Kvaal method of age estimation as key words for the search up to December 2021. A team of two researchers independently selected the studies and extracted the data. The Covidence platform was used to systematically organize all titles. The full texts of eligible studies were analyzed. Risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using a modified (to the specific characteristics of this systematic review) checklist based on Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) statement checklist for observational studies. A total of 658 articles were initially reviewed, but 22 were selected for inclusion. The risk of bias was estimated to be unclear to low overall. Among the length ratios, ratio R showed a strong association with chronological age, followed by ratio P. For the width ratios, ratio B demonstrated a close association with chronological age, followed by ratio C. The results suggest that width ratios correlate better with chronological age than length ratios. This systematic review suggests the width ratios are more strongly associated with chronological age than the length ratios. Using a width ratio could serve as a convenient and rapid way to estimate dental age. Our results apply equally to all types of ethnic groups.

Résumé :

Standard line-transect census techniques were deployed to generate a checklist and quantify the abundance of medium and large-bodied vertebrate species in forest areas of eastern Amazonia with and without a history of reduced-impact logging (RIL). Three areas were allocated a total of 1,196.9 km of line-transect census effort. Sampling was conducted from April to June 2012 and from April to August 2013, and detected 29 forest vertebrate species considered in this study belonging to 15 orders, 20 families and 28 genera. Additionally, eight species were recorded outside census walks through direct and indirect observations. Of this total, six species are considered vulnerable according to IUCN (Ateles paniscus, Myrmecophaga tridactyla, Priodontes maximus, Tapirus terrestris, Tayassu peccary, Chelonoidis denticulata). Observed species richness ranged from 21 to 24 species in logged and unlogged areas, and encounter rates along transects were highly variable between treatments. However, the relative abundance of species per transect did not differ between transects in logged and unlogged forests. Of the species detected during censuses, only three showed different relative abundance between the two treatments (Saguinus midas, Tinamus spp. and Dasyprocta leporina). Our results show that the effect of RIL forest management was a relatively unimportant determinant of population abundance for most medium and large vertebrates over the time period of the survey.

Résumé :

AbstractStrategies aiming to improve the longevity of resin–dentin adhesive interface developed so far have only been able to retard the problem. Different approaches are thus needed. The objective of this review was to determine whether the use of collagen-depletion strategies after acid-etching procedures may improve the bond strength of resin-based materials to dentin. A systematic review was planned following 2021 PRISMA statement guidelines, with a search strategy performed in five electronic databases: PubMed/Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, SciELO and IADR Abstract Archive (last search: 17/01/2022). Inclusion criteria encompassed studies which evaluated a collagen-depletion strategy in acid-etched human dentin and tensile/shear bond strength tests. Risk of bias assessment was carried out by two reviewers, working independently on an adapted five-domain risk of bias (RoB) checklist for laboratory studies. Results were synthesized qualitatively, as a meta-analysis was not possible due to limited number of studies and their RoB. A total of eight studies were eligible for inclusion in the systematic review after inclusion/exclusion criteria application. Out of these, two evaluated the effect of using NaOCl followed by an antioxidant, and the remaining six evaluated different enzymatic treatments (bromelain, chondroitinase ABC, papain, and trypsin). None of the studies reported a decrease of bond strength when a collagen-depletion strategy was used, in comparison to traditional hybrid layers (control). All enzymatic treatment studies which respected the inclusion criteria improved the bond strength to dentin. Some specific collagen-depletion strategies seem to play a favorable role in improving immediate bond strengths to dentin. Further research with sound methodology is required to consolidate these findings, since limitations in RoB and a low number of studies were found. The assessment of further proteolytic agents and long-term outcomes is also required.

Résumé :

ABSTRACT Objectives To systematically review the literature on the survival rate of deciduous molars in cases of agenesis of premolar successors. Materials and Methods Four electronic databases and partial grey literature were searched up to November 2020. The PECOS eligibility criteria included (P) second deciduous molar (E) exposed to agenesis of a premolar successor (O) evaluated by the survival rate in the oral cavity, infraocclusion, and root resorption through (S) observational studies. Risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using the checklists from the Joanna Briggs Institute and the level of evidence was assessed using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations) tool. Results Three studies were included: one with low, one with moderate, and one with high RoB. Synthesis methods included the frequency of persistent deciduous second molars during the follow-up. Approximately 82% to 89% remained in the oral cavity after 5 to 13 years. The incidence of root resorption was 11%, and the infraocclusion was 1 mm. The level of evidence was considered low for each outcome. There was considerable RoB regarding the observational studies and a need for clinical and radiographic monitoring of the deciduous molars. Conclusions Maintaining a deciduous molar in the oral cavity in patients with agenesis of the premolar successor is a viable clinical choice since 82% to 89% of the retained molars evaluated were in good condition over a follow-up ranging from 5 to 13 years. Infraocclusion and root resorption did not seem to increase considerably. The level of evidence was considered low for each outcome.
