Perinatal Care of Childhood Sexual Abuse Survivors

Abstract Background: An estimated one in nine women seeking perinatal care is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), yet CSA may be unknown to nurses and other health care providers. Childhood sexual abuse can have adverse physical and psychological effects for survivors, and the intimacy of perinatal care can trigger distress like intrusive thoughts. Purpose: To explore available literature about CSA survivors and perinatal care. Specific aims were to 1) identify nursing actions that ease undesirable feelings during perinatal care for CSA survivors and 2) identify gaps in the literature on perinatal care for CSA survivors. Study Design and Methods: Following the PRISMA-ScR Checklist, MEDLINE and CINAHL databases were searched using: “Child Abuse, Sexual,” “Perinatal Care,” and “Parturition. ” Initial yield was 109 records. Results: Applying inclusion and exclusion criteria produced 14 full-text articles. Findings suggest that obtaining consent, promoting safety, trust, and control, fostering a healthy nurse–patient relationship, and inquiring about abuse may improve how CSA survivors experience perinatal care. Gaps in literature include nursing assessments for history of CSA with nonverbal cues. Clinical Implications: For all patients, nurses should foster security and trust. It is critical that CSA survivors be in control of their care. Procedures should be thoroughly explained, and most importantly, consent should be obtained prior to every physical touch. Nurses must ask about history of CSA because it is part of patient-centered care, which is central to nursing. Survivors of childhood sexual abuse need sensitive nursing care during labor and birth. Procedures and exams may be triggering of the abuse. Consent to touch is critical. In this scoping review of perinatal care of childhood survivors of sexual abuse, voices of women are highlighted and their suggestions for how to improve care during the childbirth process are identified. Experiences of survivors of childhood sexual abuse when receiving maternity care need more research to promote safe and effective perinatal nursing care for this vulnerable population.
Enhancement of Radiation Response Associated With Metformin in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Preclinical Animal and Clinical Cohort Study

Background/Aim: This study examined whether metformin can enhance the radiation response in a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) xenograft mice model and patient population. Materials and Methods: Huh-7 human HCC-bearing xenograft mice were treated with gamma-ray, metformin, neutron therapy, and their combinations. Tumour growth and lung colonies were assessed. Overall, 145 patients who underwent radiotherapy for HCC were retrospectively analysed. Results: The combinations of gamma-ray and metformin and neutron radiation and metformin inhibited tumour growth and metastatic lung nodule formation when compared to the monotherapy and gamma-ray groups, respectively. In patients who received radiotherapy for HCC, the overall survival rate was higher in the metformin-treated group than in the non-metformin group. Conclusion: Metformin inhibited tumour growth and metastasis in HCC by enhancing the radiation response in animal experiments. Additionally, metformin was also found to be associated with a higher survival outcome in patients with HCC.
Long-Term Preservation of Cultures of Phytophthora Species Causing Black Pod Disease on Cacao

Theobroma cacao L. (cacao) is the main raw material in the production of chocolate which is enjoyed worldwide. One of the most important diseases affecting cacao is Phytophthora pod rot and losses up to 100% have been reported. Significant amount of research work is conducted annually on the pathogen but preserving Phytophthora species in culture to support research is always problematic. In our study, we assessed suitability of six storage media namely sterilized distilled water (SDW), sterilized and unsterilized soil suspension (SSS and USS), vegetable 8 juice broth (V8JB), OMA slant at 4°C under mineral oil and empty (unfilled) tube for long-term preservation of five isolates each of P. palmivora (Pp) and P. megakarya (Pm) at room temperature. We also described fungal structures responsible for long-term survival and maintenance of Phytophthora species during the storage. Our study showed the possibility of preserving Phytophthora cultures in SDW and SSS at room temperature for more than 5 years. In the empty tube, Pm was viable for 15 months while Pp survived 6 months. Cultures kept on agar slants at 4°C did not store well. Other least effective media for long term storage of Phytophthora spp. was V8J broth and USS. The effects of storage media on viability, pathogenicity, virulence and growth characteristics of the Phytophthora isolates were specie specific. Although, morphological characteristics of the cultures were maintained relative to the originals, there was reduction in the aggressiveness and virulence of the cultures. Survival mechanism of the Phytophthora species during storage was production of spherical, thin-walled chlamydospores. In view of our study, SDW and SSS at room temperature are recommended for long-term preservation of Pp and Pm cultures. The storage room temperature should not exceed 28°C. Reduction in aggressiveness and virulence may be restored with successive passages through cacao pod but this requires further verification. Zoospore’s production was similar to those recorded prior to storage. This is significant to support on-going works of screening for new environmentally friendly bio-fungicides and resistant cacao varieties to reduce impact of Phytophthora pod rot disease on cacao industry.
Distribution of marine debris in mangrove ecotourism area in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia

Marine debris is a large, complex and urgent problem in coastal management. The emergence of marine debris into this coastal area will then disrupt the ecological, economic and health conditions of the people who live around the area. The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of marine debris based on the type composition and density in the mangrove ecotourism area in the coastal area of West Oesapa, Kupang city. The data were collected using the observation method by determining the point of observation to place the line transect. The data were analyzed using qualitative and quantitative descriptive analysis methods. The observations found 9 types of marine debris consisting of (1) plastic bags, (2) foamed plastics, (3) fabric, (4) glass and ceramics, (5) metal, (6) paper and cardboard, (7) rubber, (8) wood, and (9) other types of marine debris. The highest average value of the type composition and total density was plastic bags with an average composition value of 92.32% and a total density value of 9.622 items m. The composition and the total density for other types of waste were filled with foamed plastics of 0.829% with a total density value of 0.092 item m, fabric is 2.407% with a total density value of 0.230 item m, glass and ceramics is 0.605% with a total density value of 0.060 item m, metal is 0.411% with a total density value of 0.042 item m, paper and cardboard of 0.367% with a total density value of 0.040 item m, rubber of 1.390%, with a total density value of 0.148 item m, wood of 1.240% with a total density value of 0.130 item m, and other marine debris of 0.429% with a total density value of 0.034 item m. The largest contributor to marine debris in the mangrove ecotourism area in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia comes from plastic bag waste.
Perceptions of Usefulness and Behaviors to Keep Using in the Implementation of Regional Management Information System Applications

The purpose of this study is to test the successful implementation of the Regional Management Information System (Sistem Informasi Manajemen Daerah—SIMDA) by linking the perceived ease of users mediated by perceptions of behavior to continue to use and benefit. This research is quantitative research with a survey method using a questionnaire at the South Sumatra Provincial Government. Then, the data is processed and analyzed using PLS. From the results of the analysis, it is found that there is no significant influence between the relationship between perceived ease of use and the successful implementation of the Regional Information Management System, but perceptions of usefulness and behaviors to keep using can be strong influence between relationship between perceived ease of use and the successful implementation of system. This research contributes to the decision makers of accounting system developers to consider the factors that encourage system users who can try to participate in realizing the successful implementation of the system itself.
Post‐Subduction Tectonics of Sabah, Northern Borneo, Inferred From Surface Wave Tomography

We use two‐plane‐wave tomography with a dense network of seismic stations across Sabah, northern Borneo, to image the shear wave velocity structure of the crust and upper mantle. Our model is used to estimate crustal thickness and the depth of the lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary (LAB) beneath the region. Calculated crustal thickness ranges between 25 and 55 km and suggests extension in a NW‐SE direction, presumably due to back‐arc processes associated with subduction of the Celebes Sea. We estimate the β‐factor to be 1.3–2, well below the initiation of seafloor spreading. The LAB is, on average, at a depth of 100 km, which is inconsistent with models that ascribe Neogene uplift to wholescale removal of the mantle lithosphere. Instead, beneath a region of Plio‐Pleistocene volcanism in the southeast, we image a region 50–100 km across where the lithosphere has thinned to <50 km, supporting recent suggestions of lower lithospheric removal through a Rayleigh‐Taylor instability.
Puromycin is incorporated into regenerating flagella of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as an indicator of nascent flagellar proteins

The unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii assembles flagella after pH shock-induced deflagellation, in which process the cell vigorously synthesizes flagellar proteins. Previously, newly synthesized flagellar proteins were chased using radioisotopes. Here, we have developed an alternative, non-radioactive method using the surface sensing of translation (SUnSET) assay, an assay that takes advantage of the incorporation of the antibiotic puromycin into newly synthesized peptides. Just after deflagellation, puromycin-labeled proteins increased dramatically in the cytoplasm and newly assembled flagella. Axonemal incorporation of newly synthesized proteins occurred from the distal tip of the flagellum. Cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, almost completely prevented the cellular and flagellar incorporation of puromycin, although, as reported previously, it allowed reassembly of half-length flagella from the cytoplasmic “flagellar precursor” proteins. In contrast to wild-type cells, a cycloheximide-resistant mutant act2 produced nearly full-length flagella containing puromycin-labeled proteins even in the presence of cycloheximide. These and other results demonstrate that the SUnSET method serves as a powerful tool for visualizing flagellar incorporation of nascent proteins in Chlamydomonas.
The Relationship Between Emotion Regulation and Resilience in Single Mothers Possessing Multiple Roles in Malang City

In reality, not all families consist of two parents; there are many single fathers and mothers. Single mothers have a responsibility in educating their children as well as being the backbone of the family – these two tasks are called dual roles. Multiple roles can cause conflict and negative emotions in single mothers. Therefore, it is important to be able to regulate emotions to run optimally, and it is important to have skills in resilience to rise from difficult experiences and be optimistic when facing problems. This study aimed to examine the relationship between emotion regulation and the resilience of single mothers who have multiple roles in Malang City. A quantitative research method was used and there were 80 participants who were all single mothers with multiple roles in Malang City. The measuring instruments used were the emotion regulation scale and the resilience scale. Based on the results, there was a significantly strong correlation between emotion regulation and resilience. Keywords: resilience, emotion regulation, mother, multiple roles
Randomized Comparison of Two New Methods for Chest Compressions during CPR in Microgravity—A Manikin Study

Background: Although there have been no reported cardiac arrests in space to date, the risk of severe medical events occurring during long-duration spaceflights is a major concern. These critical events can endanger both the crew as well as the mission and include cardiac arrest, which would require cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Thus far, five methods to perform CPR in microgravity have been proposed. However, each method seems insufficient to some extent and not applicable at all locations in a spacecraft. The aim of the present study is to describe and gather data for two new CPR methods in microgravity. Materials and Methods: A randomized, controlled trial (RCT) compared two new methods for CPR in a free-floating underwater setting. Paramedics performed chest compressions on a manikin (Ambu Man, Ambu, Germany) using two new methods for a free-floating position in a parallel-group design. The first method (Schmitz–Hinkelbein method) is similar to conventional CPR on earth, with the patient in a supine position lying on the operator’s knees for stabilization. The second method (Cologne method) is similar to the first, but chest compressions are conducted with one elbow while the other hand stabilizes the head. The main outcome parameters included the total number of chest compressions (n) during 1 min of CPR (compression rate), the rate of correct chest compressions (%), and no-flow time (s). The study was registered on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04354883). Results: Fifteen volunteers (age 31.0 ± 8.8 years, height 180.3 ± 7.5 cm, and weight 84.1 ± 13.2 kg) participated in this study. Compared to the Cologne method, the Schmitz–Hinkelbein method showed superiority in compression rates (100.5 ± 14.4 compressions/min), correct compression depth (65 ± 23%), and overall high rates of correct thoracic release after compression (66% high, 20% moderate, and 13% low). The Cologne method showed correct depth rates (28 ± 27%) but was associated with a lower mean compression rate (73.9 ± 25.5/min) and with lower rates of correct thoracic release (20% high, 7% moderate, and 73% low). Conclusions: Both methods are feasible without any equipment and could enable immediate CPR during cardiac arrest in microgravity, even in a single-helper scenario. The Schmitz–Hinkelbein method appears superior and could allow the delivery of high-quality CPR immediately after cardiac arrest with sufficient quality.
The Mediating Role of Normative Commitment and the Moderating Role of Organisational Justice on the Influence of Career Development on Job Engagement

An organisation's efficiency and effectiveness can be viewed as depending on the qualification of its employees. Organisational support and career development are among the factors that enable organisations to employ and retain qualified people. This study, which was conducted within the context of a social exchange, investigates the effect of career development on job engagement. As a result of the literature research, it has been determined that career development has a positive effect on job engagement, and it is further considered that normative commitment might have a mediating effect and organisational justice might have a moderating role in this relationship. The data was collected from 234 academics from four foundation universities in the Ankara and Mersin provinces of Turkey. The collected data were analysed using SPSS and AMOS package programs and the R and Python programming languages. The analyses demonstrate that there is a positive causal relationship between career development and job engagement, while normative commitment has a partial mediating role in this relationship, and organisational justice does not have a moderator role.
Toxicity effects of aged refuse on Tagetes patula and rhizosphere microbes

Aged refuse, also named mineralized refuse, refers to garbage that has been buried in landfills for many years, has basically stabilized and can be mined and utilized. In this study, we examined the effects of different mass ratios of aged refuse on Tagetes patula and rhizosphere microbes. Compared to growth in ordinary soil, growth in aged refuse or mixed soil with aged refuse significantly increased chlorophyll content, activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase, while it decreased malondialdehyde levels and protein carbonyl content in leaf tissue of Tagetes patula. Aged refuse was found to be enriched in a variety of rhizosphere microbes that contribute to pollutant degradation, although microbial diversity was found to be relatively low. Bacterial genera such as Ferruginibacter, Hymenobacter, unclassified_Gemmataceae, Longimicrobium, Tychonema CCAP 1459‐11B, Gemmatirosa, and Rubellimicrobium were depleted in soil: aged refuse groups compared with ordinary soil. Correspondingly, bacterial genera such as Emticicia, Caedibacter, Anaerosalibacter, Tumebacillus, Patulibacter, Oceanotoga, Dyadobacter, Chloroflexus, and Acidobacteria bacterium SCN 69–37, Polycyclovorans, were enriched in soil: aged refuse groups compared with ordinary soil. Furthermore, rhizosphere microbe functions changed markedly following the addition of aged refuse. These findings indicate that aged refuse may represent a source of environmental stress for plants and modifies the dominant bacterial composition of rhizosphere microbes. There were underlying close associations among pollutants, plant physiological stress responses, and rhizosphere microbial community composition. With respect to identifying potential approaches to recycling aged refuse, it will be necessary to focus on selecting optimal mass ratios of aged refuse and ordinary soil to control contaminant exposure.

The need for young players to balance training and commitment to eSports with broader educational requirements is highlighted. Implications The paper provides evidence on the need for a holistic developmental model for eSports players which provides better understanding of players’ careers and developmental needs. The study highlights a need for collective engagement and effort by various stakeholders in developing player-centred support schemes. Drawing on evidence from key stakeholders, the study proposes a modified categorisation of the eSports ecosystem model.
Chinese Investment in Turkey: The Belt and Road Initiative, Rising Expectations and Ground Realities

Turkey’s inclusion in the Belt and Road Initiative in 2015 has raised the expectations of Turkish businesses and government concerning growth-generating investment from China. Existing studies on Chinese investments in Turkey lack sufficient data on the volume of investment, types of firms, and sectoral composition. Based on a novel dataset of Chinese investments in Turkey, this article contributes to filling this gap. We show that although Chinese investment in Turkey has increased considerably in recent years, it remains quite modest compared with investments from the West. Moreover, despite the expanding activities of Chinese technology companies, more than half of Chinese investment in Turkey consists of low value-added manufacturing, extraction of raw materials, and marketing of Chinese products. Overall, the developmental potential of Chinese investment in Turkey has not been radically different from other countries’ investments.
Measurement and analysis of sustainable indicators in machining of Armox 500T armor steel

Armox 500T is a special type of armor steel possessing superior mechanical properties suitable for use in vehicles and buildings need for first priority protection. Since these products are large-scale, a welding groove needs to be created before joining which can be done by milling operations. This study aims to address this point by questioning the impact of clean environments, namely, dry, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL), and LN2-based cryogenic cooling on the machining performance measures during milling. The novelty of this paper is the investigation of the effects of different cutting environments on the milling performance of Armox 500T armor steel. The results from this study showed that cryogenic medium has an impressive impact on controlling the temperatures at tool-chip interface which directly reduces flank wear development. In addition, cryogenic and MQL-assisted machining is much better than dry environment in achieving improved surface properties, chip shape, and energy consumptions. Cryogenic cooling seems as the best option for hard milling pursued by MQL and dry environments, respectively, from the sustainability and machinability point of view.
Integrating STAD and flipped learning in expository writing skills: Impacts on students’ achievement and perceptions

Abstract The current research examined the impact of the Student Team Achievement Division (STAD, a structured cooperative learning method) and flipped learning on improving students’ expository writing skills and their perceptions about learning. The study was carried out in 11 weeks and employed a pretest/posttest quasi-experimental design through which two classes were randomly assigned to STAD flipped learning and traditional face-to-face situations. The STAD flipped group (N = 24) joined a class learning expository writing instructions with STAD principles in a flipped classroom whereas their control group counterparts (N = 24) were enrolled in a class and received the same expository writing instruction in a traditional lecture-based class. The expository essay pretests and posttests along with post-treatment for both groups and the semi-structured interviews for the experimental group only were used to collect data. ANCOVA analyses showed that the intervention significantly improved students’ expository writing scores through this model of teaching. Subsequent analyses demonstrated that the learners had positive perceptions and experiences related to the STAD flipped learning, instructor support, team support, and personal feelings about the course themes.
