Post-Pandemic: University Students’ Satisfaction on the Use of E-Learning

In 2020, approximately all universities worldwide abruptly closed due to an urgent public health issue to stop the COVID-19 epidemic from spreading. Unfortunately, even though some universities have undergone online teaching techniques before, they are not prepared to learn online fully. This research examines whether students’ attitudes, convenience flexibility, and schools’ support influence the continuance intention toward e-learning and whether satisfaction with e-learning is the mediator of the relationships above. This study was conducted in Malaysia and Indonesia after the COVID-19 epidemic to assess university students’ intent to continue using e-learning platforms. 160 college students in all took part in the research. This study reveals that satisfaction directly influences continuance intention whereas convenience flexibility and school support influence continuance intention when satisfaction came in and plays a role as a mediator. The link between students’ attitudes, convenience flexibility, school support, and continuance intention are mediated by their satisfaction with e-learning. To bolster students' contentment with e-learning, it is suggested for universities to fortify the convenience and flexibility of the system and improve the level of support provided by the institution.
Evolution of Polymorphs in Rhopalosiphum maidis (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in Response to Different Seasonal and Host Plant Conditions

The aphid Rhopalosiphum maidis is a serious pest against cereal plants. In Egypt, it causes serious damage to many cereal plants. The principal idea of this study was achieved based on the observation of various seasonal invasion rates of this pest on different host plants suggesting climatic adaptation by R. maidis polymorphs. The invasion rates on winter plants were higher than those of summer. Morphologically, all collections were belonging to R. maidis . The authors assumed that different biotypes of R. maidis are present in the studied area. To address this hypothesis, the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene was amplified in aphids collected from wheat, barley, sorghum and maize in Assiut, Egypt. Polymerase chain reactions (PCR) identified 687 bps products corresponding to a partial sequence of (COI). Multiple sequence alignment of the sequenced products revealed that at least five haplotypes are present on the tested plants. Phylogenetic analysis using the neighbor-joining method identified five clades that represent different biotypes. The identified clades contained mixtures between summer and winter R. maidis collections suggesting that different biotypes are present in mixtures on the same plant. Our findings showed that R. maidis develops different polymorphs on various host plants at different climatic conditions.
Colors of fruits and vegetables and diabetes risk in the United Colors of fruits and vegetables and diabetes risk in the United States Latino population States Latino population

Objectives: Fruits and vegetables (FV) play an important role in people’s health. The current study aimed analyzed if specific colors of FV are associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) risk in the United States (US) Hispanic/Latino population. Methods: This study used participants from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL). It is a multi-center, prospective cohort study with 5,740 self-identified Hispanic/Latino individuals from 2008-2011. Data collected include anthropometrics, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), dietary intake, medical history, physical activity, and sociodemographic information. FV are categorized into five color groups: green, white, yellow/orange, red/purple, and uncategorized. Results: A total 5,740 participants (ages 18-74, BMI 29.5, female 55.2%, US born 21.4%, confirmed DM 13.6%) were included in the analysis. Across all heritage groups (Dominican, Central American, Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South American, Other/Mixed), the red/purple FV were the least consumed. Higher intake of red/purple FV is associated with lower body mass index (BMI), lower insulin level and higher high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels. Excluding the uncategorized group, white FV had the highest consumption across all groups. Puerto Ricans consume the least FV compared to other heritage groups. A higher intake of white FV is associated with a higher OGTT glucose and triglyceride levels. Consumption of a higher amount of white FV daily has higher odds of having DM (OR=1.25, p=0.03). Conclusions: Consuming more white FV may increase odds of having DM. Consuming more red/purple FV may decrease biomarkers associated with DM. Education should focus on varying fruit and vegetable intake and identify causes of low fruit and vegetable intake in Hispanic/Latino groups living in the US.
Head Nurses' Spiritual Leadership and Staff Nurses' Autonomy: A Comparative Study

: Head nurses' spiritual leadership is new paradigm in health care system and dominant variable in shaping health care environment and staff nurses' autonomy. Aim: The study aimed to compare the relation between head nurses' spiritual leadership and staff nurses' autonomy at Gastroenterology Surgical Center and Specialized Medical Hospital. Methods: A comparative research design was used in this study and conducted on 400 of staff nurses and 81 head nurse working at Gastroenterology Surgical Center (GESC) and Specialized Medical Hospital (SMH), using two tools: Head Nurses' Spiritual Leadership Questionnaire (SLQ) and Staff Nurses' Autonomy questionnaire (AQ). Results: More than half of head nurses at GESC and the majority at SMH had moderate agreement level regarding overall spiritual leadership domains. The majority of staff nurses at SMH and GENS had a low agreement level regarding overall autonomy domain Conclusion: Overall head nurses' spiritual leadership had significant correlated with staff nurses' autonomy at two settings. Recommendation: The head nurse should be understand the overall vision and purpose of organization so that they act according to the organizational requirements. A training program for nurses to be more autonomous through explaining and expanding nurses' roles and responsibilities should be provided.
Parenting Styles and Birth Order as Determinants of Social Adjustment of Secondary School Students

: This study investigated parenting styles and birth order as determinant of social adjustment of secondary school students in Isoko South and Isoko North Local Government Areas in Delta State, Nigeria. The study used ex-post facto design and was guided by four research questions and three hypotheses. From the population of 3,346 first-year secondary school students, a sample of 262 was drawn using simple random sampling and purposive sampling techniques. A Questionnaire named Social Adjustment Scale (SAS), and Parenting Styles Scale (PSS) developed by the researcher were used for data collection in the study. The instruments were validated for face, content and construct validities by specialists in Educational psychology and test experts in Measurement and evaluation. The instruments had construct validity coefficients of 0.67 for SAS and 0.77 for PSS using Pearson product moment correlation method. The reliabilities of the instruments were determined through test-retest method and coefficients of 0.89 were obtained for SAS and 0.97 for PSS using Pearson product moment correlation method. The data collected were analysed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions while t-test and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Among others, the result showed that authoritarian parenting style produce high social adjustment among students. Also, there is no significant influence of first and second born positions on students’ social adjustment. Based on these findings, it was recommended that administrators of secondary schools should encourage social activities such as sports, debates, excursions, etc; that can facilitate effective interpersonal relationships among students.

Regional Disparities in Subjective Well-Being: A Spatial Econometric Approach

This study aims to explore spatial externalities in subjective well-being as a source of regional disparities. Using a household panel dataset collected in South Africa, this study estimates spatial econometric models to show micro-level spatial dependence by considering individual heterogeneities. The estimation results show strong spatial dependence in SWB, confirming that spatial externality within a geographical cluster is an essential factor to explain the regional disparities.
Operations Research and Decisions

In this paper, we analyze an M/M/ 1 queueing system under both single and multiple working vacation policies, multi-phase random environment, waiting server, balking and reneging. When the system is in operative phase j = 1 , 2 , . , K , customers are served one by one. Whenever the system becomes empty, the server waits a random amount of time before taking a vacation, causing the system to move to working vacation phase 0 at which new arrivals are served at a lower rate. Using the probability generating function method, we obtain the distribution for the steady-state probabilities of the system. Then, we derive important performance measures of the queueing system. Finally, some numerical examples are illustrated to show the impact of system parameters on performance measures of the queueing system.

Aim: Investigating the relationship between Growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF-9), Bone morphogenetic protein-15 (BMP-15) markers, apoptosis levels in cumulus cells and total oxidant (TOS)/ anti-oxidant (TAS) stress levels, inflammation parameters (interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)) in follicular fluid belonging to patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis (END) and male factor (MF) (control) groups. Material and Methods: GDF-9 and BMP-15 markers are determined by immunohistochemical methods, apoptosis levels are studied with TUNEL. TOS and TAS statuses are investigated with spectrophotometry, IL-6 and TNF – alpha levels are examined by Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA). Results: According to the data obtained in the study; GDF-9 and BMP-15 levels are found to be lower in PCOS and END groups and apoptosis levels of cumulus cells were significantly higher at these groups . TOS levels were significantly higher in PCOS and END groups whereas follicular fluid TAS levels were not statistically significant for these groups. IL-6 and TNF – alpha levels of follicular fluid was significantly higher in PCOS. These parameters were also higher for END group, however the difference was not found to be significant.
Prognostic significance of mediastinal standardized uptake value on positron emission tomography/computed tomography in patients with left upper lobe non-small cell lung cancer: Is invasive staging of aortopulmonary window lymph nodes necessary?

Background This study aims to investigate whether the invasive staging of aortopulmonary window lymph nodes could be omitted in the presence of a suspected isolated metastasis in the aortopulmonary window lymph node on positron emission tomography/computed tomography. Methods Between January 2010 and January 2016, a total of 67 patients (54 males, 13 females; mean age: 59.9±8.7 years; range, 44 to 76 years) with metastatic left upper lobe tumors to aortopulmonary window lymph nodes were retrospectively analyzed. According to positron emission tomography/computed tomography findings in clinical staging, the patients were classified as positive (+) (n=33) and negative (-) (n=34) groups. Results There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of sex distribution, lymph node diameter on computed tomography, maximum standardized uptake value of aortopulmonary window lymph nodes, and tumor diameter (p<0.001 for all). A trend toward significance was found to be in pT status, LN #6 metastases, and pathological stage between the two groups (p=0.067). The five-year overall survival rate for all patients was 42.4% and there was no significant difference between the groups (p=0.896). The maximum standardized uptake value of the aortopulmonary window lymph nodes was a poor prognostic factor for survival (area under the curve=0.533, 95% confidence interval: 0.407-0.675, p=0.648). Conclusion Invasive staging of aortopulmonary window lymph nodes can be omitted in patients with isolated suspected metastasis to aortopulmonary window lymph nodes in non-small cell lung cancer of the left upper lobe.

Paediatric rheumatology Paediatric-onset Takayasu’s arteritis associates with worse survival than adult-onset Takayasu’s arteritis. A matched retrospective cohort study

Objectives A subset of Takayasu’s arteritis (TAK) begins in the paediatric age group (≤18 years). Differences in prognosis between paediatric-onset and adult-onset TAK are unclear. We compared the differences in the presentation and survival between paediatric-onset and adult-onset TAK in our cohort of TAK. Methods From a retrospective cohort of TAK, clinical presentation, angiographic features, treatments received, disease activity, and survival were compared between paediatric-onset and adult-onset TAK. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models were used to compute adjusted odds ratio (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) for paediatric-onset vs. adult-onset TAK. Hazard ratios (HR, with 95%CI) for mortality with paediatric-onset vs adult-onset TAK (crude, adjusted for prognostic covariates or differences in presentation) and propensity score-matched survival analyses were estimated. Results Among 56 paediatric-onset and 135 adult-onset TAK, chest pain (aOR 3.21, 95%CI 1.06-9.74), heart failure (aOR 3.16, 95%CI 1.05-9.53), headache (aOR 2.60, 95%CI 1.01-6.74), ascending aorta (aOR 3.02, 95%CI 1.04-8.80) and left renal artery involvement (aOR 2.45, 95%CI 1.04-5.80) were more frequent in paediatric-onset TAK. Despite similar longitudinal patterns of disease activity and glucocorticoid or disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) use, mortality was higher for paediatric-onset TAK (HR, unadjusted 6.13, 95%CI 1.51-24.91; adjusted for prognostic covariates gender, diagnostic delay, baseline disease activity, number of conventional and biologic/targeted synthetic DMARDs used, 4.97, 95%CI 1.20-20.58; adjusted for differences between groups 5.54, 95%CI 1.22-25.09; after propensity-score matching for prognostic covariates, 54 pairs, log-rank p-value 0.026).
Arresting Early Childhood Caries with Silver Diamine Fluoride-A Literature Review

Conventional restorative management of early childhood caries (ECC) is unlikely to tackle this prevalent disease, and arresting caries treatment using silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has become a pragmatic strategy, particularly for young and apprehensive children. Arrested caries is clinically characterized by its increase in hardness and a dark brown to black coloration. Subsequent restorative procedures can be carried out if necessary. This review article discusses the rationale of arresting caries treatment, mechanism of action of SDF, and safety and complications of SDF treatment. A literature search using PubMed was performed to review the clinical trials using SDF to manage ECC. Results found 6 clinical trials published in English since 1980. The studies suggested that one-off application of 12% SDF is not effective in arresting caries in children, but 38% SDF is. The main disadvantage of SDF treatment is black staining of the arrested lesion, but significant complications were not reported. In general, the studies concluded that topical application of SDF is a simple and low cost method to arrest ECC. This treatment strategy therefore increases access for children in developing countries to receive affordable dental treatment.
Aggression and multimodal signaling in noise in the European robin 3

22 The effect on anthropogenic noise on acoustic signals is widely studied although the extent to 23 which this is due to short-term flexibility or long-term adaptation is unclear. Anthropogenic 24 noise may disrupt signals used to mediate aggressive interactions, leading to more physical 25 aggression between opponents. One solution to this problem is to switch signaling effort to a less 26 noisy modality (e.g. the visual modality). In the present study we ask whether urban and rural 27 European robins ( Erithacus rubecula ) use multi-modal signals flexibly in response to 28 anthropogenic noise during territorial defense. We predicted that during simulated intrusions 29 with experimental noise, European robins would increase their physical aggression, respond with 30 more visual threat displays and sing fewer songs, i.e. show a multi-modal shift. We also 31 predicted that urban birds, living in noisier habitats, would be generally more aggressive than 32 rural birds. The results showed that urban birds were more aggressive than rural robins, but an 33 increase in aggression with experimental noise was seen only in the rural birds. Urban birds also 34 used visual signals more often than rural birds. However, birds did not use visual signals more in 35 experimental noise. Instead, both urban and rural robins sang at higher rates under noise 36 conditions, thus increasing signaling effort in the noisy modality. These results point to a 37 complex role of immediate plasticity and longer-term processes in affecting communication 38 during aggressive interactions under anthropogenic noise. 39
The Issues Related to Children with Leukemia in Indonesia: An Integrative Review

: This integrative review, based on twenty-four studies from data resources, including Scopus, CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Indonesia science and technology index (SINTA), was published from 2009 to 2019. The eligible studies were conducted in Indonesia, published in the English or Indonesian language, and reported the incident, survival rate, and physical or psychological effects of disease or chemotherapy. There were 23 quantitative studies and two qualitative studies. The theoretical or conceptual framework was not identified to guide and develop the studies. Most studies used retrospective and cross-sectional studies; the target population was acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and used small sample sizes for a cross-sectional study. The variables that were explored in the quantitative studies consisted of the incidence of leukemia, survival rate, abandonment of treatment, effects of disease or chemotherapy, quality of life (QOL), and others. The qualitative findings focused on the experience of being diagnosed with leukemia and its meaning in the adolescent context. The evidence from the studies showed that the incidence rate of all types of leukemia increases each year. The survival rate was lower than in other countries, with differences in numbers among hospitals. The effects of the disease and chemotherapy dominated the problem of children the low level of QOL. More research is necessary to explore the factors related to treatments' outcomes, particularly the aspects related to survival rate and QOL are using comprehensive data analysis, an appropriate theoretical framework to guide the study, more sample size, and involving multiple hospital settings.
How patients shape their engagement through e-health

The increasingly popular goal of ‘patient participation’ comes with a conceptual vagueness, at times rendering it an all-too flexible political trope or platitude and, in practice, resulting in unclear invitations to patients. We seek to open up the alluring yet troubling figure of patient participation, by inquiring into how patients enact participation in different ways. Based on close ethnographic engagement in a user test of the e-health system P-Record, we show how a group of heart patients shaped their participation along three lines of tactics of material participation: ‘activism’, ‘partnership’ and ‘compliance’. Our argument is twofold. First, we suggest that any invitation to participate carries the inherent paradox that, although certain ideas of participation may be materially embedded, e.g. in e-health or other ‘participatory technologies’, the enactment of participation cannot be foreseen. To participate is to creatively make do with the situation and technologies at hand, making participation normatively variable in practice. Second, we suggest seeing these normative variations as distinct, though interwoven, lines of tactics that bring about different expectations and, to different degrees, allow patients to handle ambiguous invitations to participate.
Data are Capta — Data Diaries as Method for Exploring the Generated Nature of Data

To explore how we can change our understanding of data as something which is given and ‘just appears’, to something which is actively created and generated, and thus has subjective or deliberative elements, we describe our method of Data Diaries . We show examples of Data Diary creations from our students, created during two separate courses
