Ex Post Facto Study

Introduction: Diabetic ulcer is one of the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus. Several studies in Indonesia reported that the mortality rate of gangrene ulcers in people with diabetes ranged from 17-32%, and diabetic ulcers affected the quality of life of sufferers. All patients hospitalized require discharge planning. From the explanation above, it can be concluded that Diabetes Mellitus is a degenerative disease that indeed requires hospitalization. The purpose of this study is to find out whether the Discharge planning process has a relationship with the quality of life of patients with Diabetic Ulcers. Methods: With the Ex post facto study design, 28 respondentwho were in accordance obtained measurements of discharge planning processes using interview methods and measurements on quality of life using the WHOQOL-BREEF questionnaire with spearman rank non parametric correlation analysis methods. Results: The results of the value are obtained: a = 0.05 with = rs table (0.707), RHO count (0.949)>rs table then categorized in the table Relationship Strengths correlation results obtained in this category is very strong / near perfect with the value 0.76- 1.00. Conclusions:This shows that there is a significant relationship with the strength of a very strong / near-perfect relationship according to the table.

Context: Blindness is a physical-sensory disability that limits the ability of affected people to carry out daily-life activities and deteriorates their quality of life. It is estimated that there are 296.000 blind people throughout the Colombian territory. Method: This article presents the development of an electronic baton that works with a system of guiding lines and information points, together with an application for mobile devices. This research is based on the quantitative method, seeking to investigate the characteristics of the device in terms of its use. A descriptive investigation is performed which can be classified as ex post facto. Results: As a result, a device is developed which can guide a blind person to their destination in closed areas, although the time used for movement is greater compared to a journey with human assistance. Conclusions: There are solutions aimed at guiding a blind person in closed spaces that achieve this goal, although they require bulky hardware, which prevents the dimensions of the device from resembling those of the walking sticks normally used as a tool by the blind population. This limits the natural use of this kind of devices.

Ex Post Facto Study

This research aims to investigate the reading habit quality of EFL learners at Widya Kartika University, Surabaya and to find out the influence of reading habit towards students’ writing skill. This is a quantitative ex-post facto study since it examines how the independent variable (reading habit) that has existed affects the dependent variable (writing skill) and the result is in the form of numbers. Sixty two students of Widya Kartika University were selected as the subject of this study. The instruments used in this study were (1) a reading habit questionnaire, to measure the quality of students’ reading habit and (2) a writing test, to examine the students’ writing skill and how it is influenced by reading habit. The results showed that the students’ reading habit quality was fair. Meanwhile, the analysis of Simple Linear Regression concluded that reading habit influences students’ writing skill.  Moreover, one of the writing components that was mostly influenced by the reading habit was the content.

Life On Earth

While the majority of scientists agree that artificial intelligence (AI) technology have provided excellent platforms for inventing tools beneficial for enhancing man's quality of life on earth, there are a host of others who have identified existential and ontological hazards associated with the proliferation of super-intelligent machines (SIM), now utilized for virtually every human endeavor. The Marxian alienation theory was adopted for the study while Creswell's qualitative and Marilyn's ex-post facto research design approaches were adopted as viable methodologies for the study. Justifiable grounds by which existentialist scholars continue to promote the ‘extinction risk threat' and the impending job annihilation theory were identified. Scientists and existentialist scholars are therefore enjoined to urgently identify pathways for aligning the goals of SIM with those of mankind.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar os níveis de qualidade de vida entre idosas sedentárias e ativas, praticantes de dança, musculação e meditação, avaliando ainda os efeitos destes sobre aqueles. Para tal, neste estudo ex post facto, a amostra foi dividida em quatro grupos: grupo de dança (GD, n=20, idade=67±4 anos), grupo de musculação (GF, n=15, idade=67±5 anos), grupo de meditação (GM, n=15, idade=68±4 anos) e grupo controle (GC, n=20, idade=68±6 anos). O protocolo utilizado na avaliação da qualidade de vida foi o questionário World Health Organization Quality of Life Group-old - WHOQOL-OLD. Nas comparações múltiplas (Post Hoc de Sheffe ou intervalo de confiança) foram encontrados resultados satisfatórios nas variáveis dom1 (Habilidades sensoriais; GDxGC, p=0,006), dom2 (Autonomia; GDxGF, p=0,026; GDxGC, p<0,001; GFxGC, p=0,001; GMxGC, p<0,001), dom3 (Atividades passadas presentes e futuras; GDxGC, p=0,004; GFxGC, p=0,033; GMxGC, p<0,001), dom4 (Participação social; GDxGC, IC=+0,421,+41,479; GMxGC, IC=+4,456,+48,804) e QVG (GDxGC, p<0,001; GFxGC, p=0,033; GMxGC, p<0,001). Após a exposição dos dados, inferiu-se que os dois programas de atividade física (dança e musculação) e a prática da meditação apresentaram, na amostra analisada, resultados satisfatórios, contribuindo para um melhor nível de qualidade de vida quando comparados com aqueles apresentados pelo GC.

<p><em>Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high levels of glucose in the blood (hyperglycemia) that occurs due to impaired insulin secretion, decreased insulin action, or a result of both. Self-acceptance is the ability and desire of individuals to live with all the characteristics themselves against diabetes mellitus. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of diabetic ulcer treatment on self-acceptance of Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients at Asri Wound Care Center Medan. This study uses quantitative research methods with a quasi-experimental design through the one-group pretest-posttest design approach. The population in the study as many as 20 people, with sampling techniques using saturated sampling, the research sample amounted to 20 people. This study uses a nonparametric statistical test that is paired t-test. The results of research on self-acceptance of patients with type II diabetes mellitus before treatment of diabetic ulcers showed that the majority of self-acceptance was not good, and the self-acceptance of patients after treatment of diabetic ulcers obtained the majority of good self-acceptance. The effectiveness of diabetic ulcer treatment on self-acceptance of type II diabetes mellitus patients obtained significance value p-value = 0.00 (p-value &lt;0.05) then H0 was rejected. This means that there are differences in self-acceptance of type II Diabetes mellitus patients before and after diabetic ulcer treatment at Asri Wound Care Center Medan. Future researchers are expected to discuss more deeply about the factors that affect the self-acceptance of diabetes mellitus patients who are undergoing treatment for diabetic ulcers.</em></p>
