Targeted Primary and Secondary Preventive Strategies for Depression among Malaysian Pharmacy Students

The global depression burden has remained a challenge throughout the pre- and post-pandemic era. The pandemic effect has led to the spiraling of mental disorders among young people who will be the next generation of leaders. This study aims to identify university students’ sociodemographic, psychosocial and academic backgrounds and performance associated with depression symptoms for the development of primary and secondary preventive strategies for mental health. A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire distributed to 19 institutions in Malaysia offering a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree program. The self-rated Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-42) was used to assess depression symptoms. Pearson’s chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were used to assess the investigated variables with depression symptoms. Independent T-test and one-way ANOVA were used to compare means of depression score across variables. Binary logistic regression was employed to examine the relationship between the investigated variables and depression symptoms. A total of 610 pharmacy students participated, of which 47% (n = 289/610) were having depression symptoms. Students who smoke nicotine and those who have separated parents, family history of mental illness, and poor academic performance were associated with depression symptoms (p < 0.05). Differences in geographical areas, race and religion also showed significant associations with depression symptoms. Parental marital status, poor academic performance, history of mental illness and comorbidities were statistically predicting depression symptoms (p < 0.05). Primary preventive strategies allowing students to harness healthy coping skills for stress, nicotine-free campaigns and a holistic curriculum are warranted. Secondary measures on mindfulness and compassion skills activities to benefit students who experienced early life crises are highly recommended. Enforcing these targeted strategies in collaboration with health and social sectors should be the primary agenda of universities to ensure their uptake.
Experimental testing of wind turbine wake control methods

In the light of the growing world-wide wind energy production, the optimization of wind farms has become an increasingly important field of research. Herein, the aerodynamic interactions between the single turbines through their wakes play a key role. The wake flow is characterized by lower velocities and increased levels of turbulence, causing power losses and fatigue loads on downstream turbines. Several different wind farm control concepts have been proposed, which are all based on the concept of reducing an upstream turbine’s power extraction for the benefit of additional power available for a downstream turbine. In this experimental wind tunnel study the most promising three concepts are investigated on a setup of two or three model-scale wind turbines. Additionally, two model-scale reference experiments for computational simulation tools for wake and airfoil flow are presented. A comparison of intentional control of the upstream turbine’s tip speed ratio, blade pitch angle and yaw angle demonstrated the highest potential for overall power gains through yaw angle control. The wake flow behind a yawed turbine formed a curled shape at larger downstream distances and was observed to be slightly asymmetrical with respect to the upstream turbine yaw angle. However, the power surplus was observed to be penalized by increased yaw moments on both upstream and an aligned downstream turbine. For situations in which the turbines are laterally offset, an intentional yaw misalignment could steer the wake away from a downstream rotor, causing smaller loads and higher power. Moreover, it was demonstrated that a mitigation of yaw moments on the downstream rotor operated in a partial wake could be achieved by opposed yawing of the downstream rotor at a simultaneous increase of its power. For setups of tight inter-turbine spacing and full wake impingement tip speed ratio and pitch angle control might be applied for a reduction of upstream turbine thrust loads at an almost constant combined wind farm power. For higher turbine separation than x/D ≥ 3, however, the additional kinetic energy added to the wake flow by tip speed ratio or pitch angle control was observed to diffuse into the freestream and could not be recovered by a downstream turbine anymore. A comparison of external wake flow predictions by different computational models with experimental reference data confirmed the supremacy of Large Eddy Simulations combined with an Actuator Line rotor model as well as hybrid Detached Eddy Simulations in this field. Both modeling approaches mastered the challenges of a sheared inflow (blind test 4) and the complex interaction of a partial wake inflow to a downstream turbine (blind test 5) distinctively.
Gender, sex and equal health: school nurses’ strategies and experiences of including boys in the HPV vaccination programme in Swedish primary schools

ABSTRACT Since autumn 2020, boys in the fifth year of school (11-year-old students) in Sweden have been offered human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for free. Drawing from individual interviews with 21 school nurses working in primary schools in one of Sweden’s regions, the aim of this study was to explore nurses’ strategies and experiences of informing students and their guardians about the new vaccination programme, HPV and sex. Drawing on feminist theories on respectability and heteronormativity, findings indicate that heteronormative understandings of sexual relations frame school nurses’ narratives when informing students about HPV. The results also indicate that including boys in the vaccination programme has been fairly straightforward and when guardians hesitate or refuse to include their children in the vaccination programme, it is often girls’ guardians who do so. School nurses’ narratives suggest that guardians’ main argument for not vaccinating their daughters is because they believe they are too young. These narratives are framed around an understanding of the ‘respectable girl’. The results of our study highlight the importance of addressing equality, sexuality, sex and HPV as part of sexuality, consent and relations (sexualitet, samtycke och relationer) education in Swedish schools.
Population Dynamics of Mango Fruit Flies Bactrocera spp.

Population dynamics of fruit flies Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel and B. correcta Bezzi were studied in mango ecosystem at Veppalampatti location in Krishnagiri district of Tamil Nadu from October 2017 to September 2018. The fluctuations in the occurrence of adult fruit flies were assessed by methyl eugenol trap catches at fortnight intervals in fixed locations. The results revealed that B. dorsalis reached the first peak (116.00 flies/trap) in first fortnight of June, 2018. Relatively, the initial counts of B. correcta was maximum and the first peak (195.00 flies/trap) was observed during first fortnight of October, 2017. Correlation of trap catches with weather parameters revealed that B. dorsalis trap catches were influenced to an extent of 63%, whereas B. correcta occurrence was correlated with rainfall only.
The effect of phosphogypsum on stabilizing clay soil and improving its properties for use as foundation soil

Expansive soil covers large areas in a variety of regions in Jordan which is insufficient to meet the engineering specifications in construction. Phosphogypsum is considered to be the main by-product material which comes from phosphate rock deposits that is available in Jordan. The main purpose of this research is to study the effects of stabilization by phosphogypsum on expansive soil properties. Three Jordanian regions were chosen to represent the expansive soils, Irbid, Madaba, and Abu-Nusire city. Soils were mixed with phosphogypsum at different percentages by dry weight of soil. Some of the representative laboratory tests for swell properties were conducted: grain size distribution, plasticity limits, standard compaction test, swell pressure and others. Laboratory results showed a positive response in the engineering soil properties which were confirmed by the Jordanian specifications for the sub-grade soils which may be used in road and building constructions. A 20% to 30% of phosphogypsum by weight of dry soil was found suitable to improve the engineering soil properties, such as the decrease in clay content and changed in classification from A-7 and A-6 soils to A-6 and A-4 soils, respectively. Field tests on short sections of roadways treated with phosphogypsum under a low to medium sustained traffic are recommended.
Content and Effectiveness of Community-Based Rehabilitation on Quality of Life in People Post Stroke: a Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis

Purpose: The study aimed to review the content and evaluate the effects of CBR on quality of life (QoL), balance, and walking capacity for people post stroke, compared to other rehabilitation protocols or no care. Methods: A systematic search and meta-analysis of clinical trials of CBR interventions for stroke survivors was conducted. Five online electronic databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of sciences, Scopus, Hinari, and Pedro) were searched for articles published in English and French languages, from inception up to December 2021. Sixteen studies were included that reported on QoL outcomes from CBR interventions involving 1755 adults post stroke. Results: The different CBR interventions that were selected were grouped into three clusters: a) exercise programmes, b) task-oriented training, and c) educational and taking-charge programmes. CBR interventions were more effective than other rehabilitation protocols (SMD=0.16[0.02, 0.30], P=0.03, I 2 =40%) on QoL for people with chronic stroke. The effects of interventions on walking capacity and balance demonstrated non-significant difference (SMD=0.31[-0.02, 0.64], P=0.06, I 2 =88%, and SMD= 0.20[-0.12, 0.53], P=0.22, I 2 =68%, respectively). Conclusion: Current data indicates that CBR can be used in many forms or in combinations to benefit people with chronic stroke. Also, CBR is as effective
Is the selection of Ghanaian policy makers based on socio-cultural and ethnic reasonings relevant in today’s politics? Evidence from the Cape Coast Metropolis in Ghana

This study examines the effect of appraisive attitudes on citizens’ participation behaviour at the sub-national electoral levels in the Cape Coast Metropolis, Ghana. The study was quantitative with cross-sectional explanatory design. The study population was 1145 with a sample size of 291. The SPSS was employed for descriptive analysis and the Smart PLS was employed for structural equation modelling. It was found that all the three dimensions of appraisive attitudes (policy responsiveness, performance and integrity) used in this study have positive effects on citizen participation behaviour in the study area of the Cape Coast Metropolis in Ghana. This means Africans have come of age and the days of choosing Africa policy makers based on socio-cultural and ethnic reasoning appear to be over. Policy makers must, therefore, take into consideration the interests of the citizens and work to improve on their living conditions in order to sustain their political career.
BCMNet: Cross-Layer Extraction Structure and Multiscale Downsampling Network With Bidirectional Transpose FPN for Fast Detection of Wildfire Smoke

At present, the wildfire smoke detection algorithm based on YOLOv3 has problems, such as low accuracy and slow detection speed. In this article, we propose a cross-layer extraction structure and multiscale downsampling network with bidirectional transpose FPN (BCMNet) for fast detection of wildfire smoke. First, a cross-layer extraction module, which combines linear feature multiplexing and receptive field amplification, is designed. It can improve the speed and accuracy of wildfire smoke detection. Second, a multiscale downsampling module with different convolution kernels and maximum pooling operation is designed to preserve the details of the image while downsampling. Then, a bidirectional transposed FPN based on transposed convolution upsampling is designed. It can bidirectionally fuse visual features of shallow layer and semantic features of deep layer on the corresponding scale. The feature information flow between smoke feature maps of different resolution is emphasized. Finally, a wildfire smoke detection system of the Internet of Things based on BCMNet is built by combining the hardware and detection model. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves 85.50% mAP50 and 79.98% mAP75 at 40 FPS on NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2080 Ti, which is superior to the common smoke detection methods.
Comparison of various transcatheter aortic valves for aortic stenosis: a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Objectives Our aim was to compare available transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) valves using direct and indirect evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCT). Background TAVR is now an established treatment for majority of patients with severe aortic stenosis. However, there is limited data comparing various valves. Methods We performed a systematic search of electronic databases for RCT comparing a TAVR valve to a valve or surgery. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed to compile evidence from both direct and indirect comparisons at 30 days and at one year. Results Twelve studies with 10,307 patients eligible for TAVR met the criteria and were included. Self-expanding valve CoreValve type (SEV_C) is associated with higher risk of pacemaker implantation and use of >1 valve, SEV Accurate type (SEV_A) is associated with higher risk of [≥] moderate aortic regurgitation (AR) and death, and mechanically expandable valve (MEV) is associated with lower risk of [≥] moderate AR but higher risk of pacemaker at 30 days, SEV_C and MEV were associated with higher pacemaker rates compared balloon expandable valve (BEV) at 1 year. There is no difference among the valves in stroke at 30 days and 1 year. Conclusions At 30 days, BEV was superior on one or more outcomes of mortality, pacemaker implantation, >1 valve implantation, and [≥] moderate AR compared to other valves except the higher rate [≥] moderate AR compared to MEV. At one year, BEV was associated with lower odds of pacemaker implantation compared to SEV_C and MEV but not different on other end points.
Flexibility and agility: evolution and relationship

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to clarify the confusion between flexibility and agility. The paper traces the evolution of agility and the evolution of flexibility over time, analyses their drivers and different elements, draws the boundaries between them and defines their relationship. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review of flexibility and agility was developed. Papers written between 1920 and 2017 were reviewed and analyzed using a structured review technique. The identified papers focus on flexibility and agility, relating both to manufacturing and the supply chain. Findings Agility is the natural evolution of flexibility. Until the 1990s, the term “flexibility” was used to refer to agility, but, because of market changes, competitiveness and the need for speed, the term “agility” was coined. While flexibility is considered as an operational ability, agility is a strategic ability that enables a firm to establish a strategic long-term vision. In fact, flexibility is an agility capability, among other capabilities such as responsiveness or speed. There are also several types of flexibility that are used as agility sub-capabilities, or as agility enablers, which further confirms the idea that flexibility is a part of agility. Research limitations/implications This research is a systematic review of the existing literature on the concepts of flexibility and agility. Although it is theoretical, it could provide a set of hypotheses that would enable an empirical study to be conducted into how firms from different industries perceive flexibility and agility and how they implement each of them. Originality/value Flexibility and agility are two distinct characteristics that enable a firm to gain a competitive advantage by responding quickly and effectively to changing customer demand. However, there is confusion between these two concepts in the academic and professional literature, with both terms being used to refer to the same idea. Our literature review aims to draw the boundaries between flexibility and agility by analyzing the evolution of the two concepts and detailing their respective drivers and elements, in order to bring more clarity to the nature of the relationship between flexibility and agility.
Physiological and Biochemical Mechanisms of Improving Salt and Drought Tolerance in Okra Plants Based on Applied Attapulgite Clay

: Attapulgite clay (AC), which is rich in good adsorption, catalysis, rheology and heat resistance, is an important mineral resource. However, the roles of AC in regulating stress tolerance of plants have not been investigated. In this study, culture pot experiment was used to analyze the effects of AC applied into the soil on growth and physiological metabolism of okra plants. The applied AC significantly enhanced salt and drought tolerance of okra plants. Component analyses showed that the significant increases of ABA, proline, soluble protein, soluble sugar and photosynthetic pigment content, as well as the significant decreases of hydrogen peroxide, superoxide anion radical and malondialdehyde content were observed in okra plants grown in the soil with applied 30 g/kg AC under salt and drought stresses. Enzymatic analyses indicated the activities of 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase, pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase, superoxide dismutase and peroxidase were also significantly increased under salt and drought stresses. These results demonstrate that the applied AC can alleviate damage caused by salt and drought stresses, leading to the enhanced salt tolerance and drought tolerance of okra plants. The AC has the potential to be used to develop plant growth regulators to enhance the tolerance to abiotic stresses in plants
Factors Related To The Social Responsibility Of Santri In Preventing Covid-19 In Indonesia: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 require personal awareness, understanding, and a sense of responsibility toward the community. The fundamental purpose of this study was to determine the factors related to the social responsibility of the santris in preventing the spread of COVID-19 in the pesantren environment. Methods: This descriptive correlative study used a cross-sectional approach with 384 respondents (santris), a total population of 8.413 santris in various Pesantren in Probolinggo, East Java. A self-administered questionnaire was used to conduct the online survey using a Google form and social networking apps. The validity test results of each questionnaire using Product Moment with 40 participants showed a value of more than 0.312 and Cronbach's alpha values of 0.722, 0.759, and 0.774 on each knowledge, attitude, and social responsibility questionnaire. Then descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used to analyze the data. Results: The findings show that the level of knowledge about Covid-19 of the santris is moderate (49.7%), attitudes are in a good category (52.3%), and social responsibility is in a good category (72.4%). Their knowledge, attitude, and residence were all significantly associated with santri's social responsibility behaviors (p 0.05). Conclusion: Knowledge of COVID-19 transmission and attitude toward the state measures for COVID-19 prevention and control were significantly associated with participants’ social responsibility behaviors. Santris becomes more conscious of their own and the environment's needs and responsibility due to these results.
Sequential anti-inflammatory and osteogenic effects of a dual drug delivery scaffold loaded with parthenolide and naringin in periodontitis

Purpose Our pilot study showed that a 3-dimensional dual drug delivery scaffold (DDDS) loaded with Chinese herbs significantly increased the regenerated bone volume fraction. This study aimed to confirm the synergistic anti-inflammatory and osteogenic preclinical effects of this system. Methods The targets and pathways of parthenolide and naringin were predicted. Three cell models were used to assess the anti-inflammatory effects of parthenolide and the osteogenic effects of naringin. First, the distance between the cementoenamel junction and alveolar bone crest (CEJ-ABC) and the bone mineral density (BMD) of surgical defects were measured in a rat model of periodontitis with periodontal fenestration defects. Additionally, the mRNA expression levels of matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were measured. Furthermore, the number of inflammatory cells and osteoclasts, as well as the protein expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and levels of ALP were determined. Results Target prediction suggested prostaglandin peroxidase synthase (PTGS2) as a potential target of parthenolide, while cytochrome P450 family 19 subfamily A1 (CYP19A1) and taste 2 receptor member 31 (TAS2R31) were potential targets of naringin. Parthenolide mainly targeted inflammation-related pathways, while naringin participated in steroid hormone synthesis and taste transduction. In vitro experiments revealed significant anti-inflammatory effects of parthenolide on RAW264.7 cells, and significant osteogenic effects of naringin on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and MC3T3-E1 cells. DDDS loaded with parthenolide and naringin decreased the CEJ-ABC distance and increased BMD and ALP levels in a time-dependent manner. Inflammation was significantly alleviated after 14 days of DDDS treatment. Additionally, after 56 days, the DDDS group exhibited the highest BMD and ALP levels. Conclusions DDDS loaded with parthenolide and naringin in a rat model achieved significant synergistic anti-inflammatory and osteogenic effects, providing powerful preclinical evidence.
