Parking Facilities

The demand for accessible parking services and facilities are growing in the University of Singaperbangsa Karawang (Unsika). This occurred due to the increasing number of vehicles need parking spaces. Some problems can happen because of scrambling over the space, the improper of parking lot building, the ineffective actions in allocating and checking the traffic signs, and the unavailability of traffic signs. The focus of this research was the campus community who use the parking lot. They became the object of the research. The data analysis was used to determine the level of the satisfaction of the campus community towards the service quality and parking facilities in Unsika using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test method with Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) application. The results showed that the campus community was complaining about the quality of service and parking facilities. The perceptions were given in the form of negative perceptions because it was not in line with expectations. The respondents were hoping that the university would pay attention to the quality of services and facilities.

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction

Breast cancer survivors (BCS) often experience psychological and physiological symptoms after cancer treatment. Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), a complementary and alternative therapy, has reduced subjective measures of stress, anxiety, and fatigue among BCS. Little is known, however, about how MBSR affects objective markers of stress, specifically the stress hormone cortisol and the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6). In the present study, BCS ( N = 322) were randomly assigned to a 6-week MBSR program for BC or usual-care control. Measurements of cortisol, IL-6, symptoms, and quality of life were obtained at orientation and 6 weeks. Cortisol and IL-6 were also measured prior to and after the MBSR(BC) class Weeks 1 and 6. The mean age of participants was 56.6 years and 69.4% were White non-Hispanic. Most had Stage I (33.8%) or II (35.7%) BC, and 35.7% had received chemotherapy and radiation. Cortisol levels were reduced immediately following MBSR(BC) class compared to before the class Weeks 1 and 6 (Wilcoxon-signed rank test; p < .01, d = .52–.56). IL-6 was significantly reduced from pre- to postclass at Week 6 (Wilcoxon-signed rank test; p < .01, d = .21). No differences were observed between the MBSR(BC) and control groups from baseline to Week 6 using linear mixed models. Significant relationships with small effect sizes were observed between IL-6 and both symptoms and quality of life in both groups. Results support the use of MBSR(BC) to reduce salivary cortisol and IL-6 levels in the short term in BCS.

Background: Current guidelines advocate for antiretroviral therapy (ART) simplification in patients on complicated regimens. Simplifying ART improves patient adherence and quality of life, but changes in drug interactions (DIs) are uncertain. Objective: This study assessed changes in DIs following ART simplification in patients with HIV. Methods: This was an observational, retrospective cohort study of patients attending an urban HIV clinic. Patients were included if they had ART simplification (a decreased number of daily tablets) and ≥1 concomitant medication (CM). Total DI scores were generated for each patient pre–ART simplification and post–ART simplification using an online DI database. Each ART-CM pair labeled as “do not co-administer” was given a score of 2, “potential interaction” a score of 1, or “no interaction” a score of 0. Differences in total DI scores following simplification were analyzed with a Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. Predictors of DI score reductions were examined with linear regression. Results: A total of 99 patients were included. Their median age was 54 years, and 79% were male. The median durations of HIV infection and ART were 16 and 10 years, respectively. Patients were receiving an average of 4.5 CMs. Median interaction scores presimplification and postsimplification were 3 (interquartile range [IQR], 1-6) and 1 (IQR, 0-2) respectively ( P < 0.001). Predictors of score reductions were the patient’s number of CMs, discontinuing a protease inhibitor, and switching to a dolutegravir-based regimen. Conclusion and Relevance: ART simplification decreased the incidence of DIs in this analysis of patients with advanced age who had ART experience and polypharmacy.

IntroductionAnxiety and mood disorders are common in adolescence and predict poor mental health outcomes and low quality of life in adulthood. Although early intervention seems to be critical, dropouts in the early stages of treatment are frequent and associated with low insight and severe symptoms. Therefore, a diagnostic assessment phase aimed to increase insight and early reduce symptoms appears to be essential in adolescents.ObjectivesThe objective of this study is to demonstrate that the diagnostic method Cooperative Assessment is able to early reduce symptoms in adolescents with anxiety and mood disorders.MethodsA sample of 88 patients, aged 14–19 years were included. All were recruited at the first visit and evaluated with the Cooperative Assessment. This manualized procedure was created from principles of collaborative and therapeutic assessment and aim to involve the patient in a co-developed diagnosis thorough the collaborative use of test results. Patients were evaluated before (T0), in the middle (T1) and after (T2) the assessment using CGI, GAF, HAM-A, HAM-D and MRS scales.ResultsEighty-eight adolescents, 56.8% females, diagnosed with anxiety (47.7%) and mood disorders (52.3%) completed the protocol. HAM-A, HAM-D, MRS, CGI and GAF significantly improved at T1 and T2 with respect to T0 (T0: HAM-A 17.31 ± 8.22; HAM-D 16.97 ± 8.37; MRS5.78 ± 6.17; GAF 59.3 ± 11.06; CGI 3.63 ± 1.35; T2: HAM-A 11.41 ± 6.82; HAM-D 11.1 ± 6.91; MRS3.82 ± 3.87; GAF 67.5 ± 10.76; CGI 3.03 ± 1.26; P < 0.001; Wilcoxon signed-rank test for repeated measures).ConclusionsCooperative assessment is able to early improve symptoms in adolescents with mood and anxiety disorders.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Background: The improper use of insulin usually leads to some unexpected effects, hence, there is a need for right usage. Lack of knowledge and of understanding are key factors leading to the occurrence of medication errors, which could be avoided with proper education. Therefore, an appealing education alternative, such as video, is needed to improve patient’s knowledge and attitudes towards insulin therapy. Design and Methods: One-group pretest and posttest design were conducted on 100 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were receiving subcutaneous insulin therapy at Internal Medicine Unit in Universitas Airlangga Teaching Hospital. The patients filled the provided questionnaires to measure their knowledge and attitudes, before and after watching the video on insulin therapy education. Then, data obtained were analysed with SPSS using Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test Method. Results: Based on the results, there was an increase in the value of the patient’s knowledge, with the value of Z=-8.212 and P<0.05. Similarly, there was an increase in the patient’s attitudes with the value of Z=-8.234 and P<0.05. Conclusions: Insuline therapy video increases the knowledge and improves the attitude of diabetes mellitus patients towards insulin therapy.

Analysis Of Results

En la sociedad actual, en la que existe una clara tendencia al uso constante de tecnologías, se ha observado un escaso número de herramientas para la medición de la calidad de software deportivo. A través de la creación, validación y administración del cuestionario CUPEA, se pretende valorar dicha característica, además de verificar el nivel de aceptación de la aplicación entre los usuarios y su utilidad real. La validación del contenido, redacción y pertinencia de los ítems creados se consiguió a través de las valoraciones realizadas por 14 jueces expertos. La validación externa se obtuvo mediante la aplicación de la prueba test-retest a una muestra de 23 participantes de la Comunidad de Madrid. Posteriormente, se procedió a la comprobación de la fiabilidad del cuestionario mediante el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman; y para saber si existían diferencias significativas entre las respuestas dadas por el mismo sujeto se utilizó la prueba de los rangos con signo de Wilcoxon. Una vez diseñado y validado el cuestionario final, se procedió a efectuar una prueba experimental con 42 participantes para un software concreto, Easy_Aerobics. Del análisis e interpretación de los resultados obtenidos del cuestionario se ha podido concluir que se han respetado los criterios de fiabilidad, funcionalidad y usabilidad en su implementación, y CUPEA se ha mostrado como una herramienta válida para la medición de la usabilidad y de la calidad técnica del software.Abstract. Nowadays, in a society with a clear trend towards a wide use of technologies, only few tools to measure the quality of sports software have been developed. This study seeks to assess the quality and also to verify the usefulness and acceptance of a sports software, by means of creating and validating the CUPEA questionnaire to be administered to real users. Validation of content and relevance was achieved through the assessment of 14 expert referees. External validation was obtained by a test-retest procedure applied to a sample of 23 participants from the region of Madrid (Spain). Reliability of the questionnaire was verified using the Spearman correlation, while the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was emplyed to look for significant differences between test and retest. After its design and validation, the final version of the questionnaire CUPEA was obtained. An experimental test was carried out with 42 users of Easy_Aerobics. Analysis of results allows us to conclude that criteria of reliability and usability have been observed, and CUPEA has proven to be a valid tool for measuring usability and technical quality of the software.

Objective: To assess parents' and caregivers' view of the first twelve months of adolescents' orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances and to assess the evaluative properties of the Brazilian version of the Parental-Caregiver Perceptions Questionnaire (P-CPQ) in the orthodontic setting.Methods:Data from a sample of 96 parents and caregivers of adolescents undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances were collected by means of P-CPQ. Assessments were performed before banding and bracket bonding (T1) and 12 months after placement of fixed appliances (T2). Statistical analysis included Wilcoxon signed-rank test for the overall P-CPQ score and Bonferroni correction for P-CPQ subscales. The evaluative properties of the P-CPQ were assessed through responsiveness calculation and the minimally clinical important difference (MCID).Results: Among the 96 participants, 76 were mothers of patients, 16 were fathers, and four were other family members. Adolescents' mean age was 11.49 ± 0.50 years. Most families earned equal to or less than three times the Brazilian monthly minimum wage. There was significant improvement in the emotional and social well-being subscales (p< 0.001), which contributed to improve patient's overall quality of life (p< 0.001). Reductions in scores were associated with clinically meaningful moderate changes in the overall score as well as in the emotional and social well-being subscales. The MCID was 6.16 for the P-CPQ overall score.Conclusion:Parents and caregivers reported significant improvement in the quality of life of adolescents undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances.

Preoperative Plan

A preoperative plan is a virtual plan that defines the implant position and orientation allowing a surgeon to prepare for surgery. However, the default preoperative plan for total knee arthroplasty proposed by the manufacturer requires changes to be made by the surgeon in more than 90% of the cases. Previous studies have shown that artificial intelligence can be used to create better preoperative plans compared to manufacturer’s default plans. However, the quality of artificial intelligence based preoperative plans has not yet been compared to surgeon approved preoperative plans. The purpose of this study is to compare default, artificial intelligence and surgeon approved preoperative plans, by having them scored on a range from 1 (totally unacceptable plan) to 5 (no corrections needed) by an experienced surgeon, while being blinded to the plan type. Through a Wilcoxon signed rank test with α=0.05, AI based preoperative plans were found to be a significant improvement upon the default plans (p-val=0.000136), while the differences in score between AI and surgeon approved preoperative plans were insignificant (p-val= 0.083). Consequently these results indicate that AI generated preoperative plans for TKA are an improvement upon current default plans, which could increase the surgeon’s planning efficiency when applied in clinical practice.
