This study aims to determine the demographic factors that affect lecturer publication performances in Indonesia. Data of lecturer profile consisting of academic rank, administrative position, highest education, the country where lecturers received their degrees (overseas or regional), age, work years, and gender was collected from the Ministry of Research online database. This study employs data from 658 lecturers in the faculties of economics and business from 7 universities in Indonesia. The lecturer publication score was obtained from the Indonesian research assessment system called SINTA. To find out the relationship of these factors on the performance of lecturers' publications, multivariate regression analysis with a 95% confidence level was carried out and followed by the Tukey test. Academic rank, highest education, and the university where the lecturer received their degree had a significant influence (p-value <0.05) on the 3-years and overall publication performance. Gender and administrative positions only have a significant effect on the 3-years publication performance, while age and work years did not significantly influence publication performance. The results of this study can be used by lecturer management policymakers in developing countries, especially in Indonesia to make appropriate strategies in developing lecturer resources.

Due to the limitations of the factors tested, the results of this study have not been able to fully explain the performance of publications lecturers in Indonesia. Regression equation r-squared value of 3-year version 1, version 2, overall version 1, and version 2 are 18,15%, 21,73%, 24,54%, and 23,51% respectively. Subsequent research needs to be done with a more comprehensive analysis of factors so that it can be identified factors that are almost the performance of lecturer publications in Indonesia.

Introduction: Student motivation plays a vital role in how well they perform academically. It is particularly important in dental students due to intense studies and tiring clinical duties. Research has been done to find out the relationship of qualitative and quantitative motivation with academic performance, but with contradictory results.Objective: To find the correlation between the strength of motivation and academic performance among dental students of the University College of Medicine and Dentistry (UCMD).Method: A correlational research design was applied. The strength of motivation was calculated using the SMMS-R questionnaire. The questionnaire was sent on WhatsApp to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and final year students. One hundred and forty-four responses were recorded. Out of these, 4 students did not allow to access their results, thus they were excluded from the study. For the rest of the 140 students, their academic scores of Combined Block Assessment 1 (CBA-1) were provided by the administration department. Data analysis was done using the SPSS 25.Results: Strength of motivation and academic performance showed a positive relationship; Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) was 0.6 with a p-value of 0.01. With an increase in strength of motivation, the academic performance also increased.Conclusion: A positive relationship was found between the students’ strength of motivation and their academic performance as calculated by the SMMS-R questionnaire. KEYWORDS: Motivation, academic performance.

Introduction The importance of handedness lies in its relationship with the lateralization of the brain function, especially of language. The aim of the present study was to provide an authentic database on right and left second to fourth digit (2D:4D) ratios in 2 different ethnic groups of a particular age and gender, and to study its correlation with handedness and sexual dimorphism. Materials and Methods The present study was conducted among 400 Tibeto-Nepalese (TN) subjects (200 of each gender) and 400 Indo-Nepalese (IN) subjects (200 of each gender) aged ≥ 18 years old. The values for the 2D:4D ratio were calculated for both hands. Hand preference was established according to the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory, and five hand preference determination groups were constituted after the calculation of the laterality score. The results were tabulated and subjected to statistical analysis. A p-value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results The mean value of right sided 2D:4D ratio of TN female was higher as compared to IN female; and for left sided 2D:4D ratio, the value was lower in TN female as compared to IN female. When the values of the 2D:4D ratios were assessed by gender, the values were found to be statistically significant (p < 0.001), whereas when they were assessed by ethnicity, only the right hand 2D:4D ratio was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion When the relationships between the laterality score and the 2D:4D ratios were examined, the values were found to be statistically significant in both ethnic groups only on the left side. The 2D:4D ratio shows significant ethnic and population differences in the present study.

Visual impairment, also known as loss of vision is the decreased ability of a subject to see to a degree. It is a global concern that is likely to escalate with prolonged life expectancies with increasing attention in the realm of eye care. In this study, the prevalence of visual impairment among patients attending the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Rivers state, Nigeria was investigated. The study accessed a total of 7, 345 case notes of ethically sourced, visually impaired subjects who visited the hospital within five years (2015 - 2019) in the target study area. For each year accessed, records were grouped according to participants’ age and gender, then matched with the type and causes of visual impairment in the study area. At the end of data collection, Results were passed through the graph pad prism (version 8.1), and subjected to statistical measure of central tendencies to obtain the average records and prevalence levels for collected variables, while setting confidence interval at a 95%. Differences in means across groups were also confirmed with the One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), while setting a p value less than 0.05 as statistically significant. Following analysis, study found a statistically significant increase (p < 0.05) in cases of visual impairment for 2019 as compared other year records, even though there was an inconsistent attenuation for the various years compared, with moderate vision having an apparently higher record than other visual impairments. Severe cases came second with 2018 having the highest cases than others but, with moderate impediments. Also, a significant increase (p < 0.05) was seen in refractive error as compared to other causes of visual impediments. We recommend similar but more molecular approach to visual impairments within study area, and more.

Abstract Background Pacemaker, device leads have been reported to cause tricuspid regurgitation (TR) of variable degrees. It is different between RVA pacing and None-RVA pacing in device-related TR. Few articles indicate this area. Objectives: We sought to evaluate (1) TR degree in patients with right ventricular apical (RVA) pacing vs. none-RVA pacing; (2) the relationship of lead-position between RVA vs. none-RVA pacing associated with TR undergo 3-dimensional echocardiography (3DE). Methods Conventional echocardiography performed in 458 patients after pacemaker implantation. In addition, 284 patients with pre-pacemaker implantation echocardiography available were included to evaluate the development of significant TR prospectively. Results RVA pacing patients had a higher frequency of significant TR (degree≥2) compared to none-RVA pacing (63% vs. 42%, p-value <0.01). For RVA pacing, the lead was more likely to position at the anterior, posterior and septal compared to none-RVA pacing (51% vs. 33%, p-value <0.01). Importantly, leads were more likely to be positioned in the central portion with none-RVA pacing compared to RVA pacing (30% vs. 13%, p-value <0.01). Among 284 patients with pre-& post-implantation echocardiography, RVA pacing is associated with the development of significant TR compared to none-RVA pacing (59% vs. 41%, P=0.012). Factors Associated with Significant TR Univariate p-value Multivariate p-value Age 1.035 (1.016–1.055) <0.01 1.025 (1.005–1.047) 0.02 Duration 1.003 (1.001–1.006) 0.02 1.001 (0.998–1.004) 0.62 Male 0678 (0.468–0.980) 0.04 0.657 (0.436–0.991) 0.05 Pre-AF 2.623 (1.740–3.955) <0.01 1.162 (0.588–2.295) 0.67 Post-AF 3.529 (2.329–5.346) <0.01 2.671 (1.566–4.556) <0.01 DDDR 0.428 (0.236–0.777) 0.01 0.724 (0.336–1.563) 0.41 RVA 2.451 (1.673–3.589) <0.01 1.962 (1.266–3.042) <0.01 3D TTE view of the device leads in TVs Conclusions The study demonstrates that RVA pacing is more likely to develop significant TR compared to none-RVA pacing. Significantly, this study is the first details to demonstrate that lead impingement is one of the possible mechanisms that could explain the higher frequency of TR in RVA pacing compared to none-RVA pacing by 3DE.

AbstractBSE practice is a breast examination performed by women to detect breast cancer lumps. This disease occupies the highest percentage of cases of other cancers and the highest percentage of deaths in women in the world. Breast cancer can be detected by prevention, one of which is breast self-examination (BSE). The tendency of women in early breast cancer detection with BSE is still low, even in 2015 non-health faculty students at the University of Jember. Many studies state that non-health faculty students are mostly rare and never practice BSE. This study aims to analyze the relationship of knowledge, attitudes, sources of information, peer support and anxiety about BSE practices in 2015 college students at the University of Jember. This type of study is analytic with cross sectional approach. The study was conducted on 227 respondents. The sampling technique is proportional random sampling. The results showed that there was a correlation between knowledge, attitudes, sources of information, peer support and the level of anxiety about BSE practices. After the logistic regression test, it showed that the knowledge most related to BSE practice was p-value 0.083. Keywords: Breast cancer, non-health faculty students, BSE practice

Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify levels of self-compassion in adults who do and do not stutter and to determine whether self-compassion predicts the impact of stuttering on quality of life in adults who stutter. Method Participants included 140 adults who do and do not stutter matched for age and gender. All participants completed the Self-Compassion Scale. Adults who stutter also completed the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering. Data were analyzed for self-compassion differences between and within adults who do and do not stutter and to predict self-compassion on quality of life in adults who stutter. Results Adults who do and do not stutter exhibited no significant differences in total self-compassion, regardless of participant gender. A simple linear regression of the total self-compassion score and total Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering score showed a significant, negative linear relationship of self-compassion predicting the impact of stuttering on quality of life. Conclusions Data suggest that higher levels of self-kindness, mindfulness, and social connectedness (i.e., self-compassion) are related to reduced negative reactions to stuttering, an increased participation in daily communication situations, and an improved overall quality of life. Future research should replicate current findings and identify moderators of the self-compassion–quality of life relationship.
