Assessment of Nurses’ Knowledge and Practice Regarding Intra- Abdominal Pressure Measurement and Abdominal Compartment Syndrome Prevention

ABSTRACT: Background: Intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome are potentially life-threatening conditions. Measuring intra-abdominal pressure helps identify patients developing intra-abdominal hypertension, which allows for timely intervention before progression to abdominal compartment syndrome. It is often measured by the bedside nurse in the intensive care unit, who plays a key role in managing critically ill patients and recognizing potential causes for clinical deterioration. Therefore, they should be knowledgeable about this entity.Aim: The aim of this study was to assess nurses’ knowledge and practice regarding intra-abdominal pressure measurement and abdominal compartment syndrome prevention. Design: A descriptive exploratory design was utilized in this study. Subject: A convenience sample of about 60 male and female nurses. Setting: The study was carried out at intensive care unit and cardiac care units at Kom Hamada and Itay el Baroad Hospital. Data collection tools: two tools were used for data collection(I) Knowledge assessment questionnaire: which included (a) Socio-demographic data (b) Nurses’ knowledge related to intra-abdominal pressure measurement, intra- abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome prevention. (II): The observational checklist: To assess nurses' practices regarding intra-abdominal pressure measurement. Results: The results showed that the most studied nurses (80%) had poor knowledge regarding all items related to intra-abdominal pressure measurement, intra-abdominal hypertension, and complications of abdominal compartment syndrome. moreover, about (71.7%) of the studied nurses had an unsatisfactory level of practice regarding intra-abdominal pressure measurement. Conclusion: critical care Nurses' understanding of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome is generally falling short in the areas of presentation and outcomes, necessitating tailored and targeted educational interventions.

Nanotitanium Oxide Particles and Jute-Hemp Fiber Hybrid Composites: Evaluate the Mechanical, Water Absorptions, and Morphological Behaviors

Organic fiber-based biocomposites have gained prominence in a variety of sectors over the last four to five years due to their exceptional mechanical and physical properties. Natural fiber-based composites are increasingly being employed in autos, ships, airplanes, and infrastructure projects. The current study will look at the effect of nanotitanium oxide (TiO2) fillers on the properties of hybridised jute-hemp-based composites. In this work, TiO2-filled biocomposites were created using the hand layup method in hybrid jute-hemp composites containing jute fiber mats, woven hemp mats, and epoxy resin. After nanotitanium oxide fillers were injected in various weight proportions, the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced polymers were investigated. The mechanical properties of laminated composites were tested using the ASTM standard. Compared to 2 and 4 wt. % of TiO2, the 6 wt. % was provided the highest mechanical strength. Among the different types of specimen, the E-type specimen (30 wt.% of hemp, 7 wt.% of jute, 57 wt.% of epoxy, and 6 wt.% of TiO2) gives their highest contribution, i.e., for tensile 24.21%, for flexural 25.03%, and for impact 24.56%. The scanning electron microscope was utilized to analyse the microstructures of nanocomposites.
The formation of a firm's core competence and its development: an analysis with a special reference to North East England firms

PurposeThis paper provides remarkable insight into the structural components of a firm's core competence and its development via research and development (R&D) activities for innovation and exporting activities.Design/methodology/approachThe authors have used a positivist design and a deductive methodology. The authors have examined the extant literature developing a theoretical framework to empirically investigate the relationships between a firm's core competence, organisational learning (OL), tacitness, dynamic capability and R&D activities. To carry out this investigation, the authors have collected stratified sample data from 330 firms operating in North East England, a peripheral region of England.FindingsThe authors have found that there are indeed significant statistical relationships between these structural components, R&D activities and a firm's core competence, and this nexus is pertinent to innovation and exporting. Furthermore, it is found that North East England is significantly constrained by the lack of finance, technological capability, experts and brain drain. Based on these findings, the authors propose a cooperative R&D framework to narrow down these constraints to assist firms in developing core competencies for innovation and exporting in peripheral regions.Social implicationsThere is an urgent need to investigate the incidence of knowledge-driven activities, R&D, the extent of innovation and exporting activities of firms operating in North East England, a peripheral region of the United Kingdom (UK). Originality/valueThis study provides an original and systematic investigation of the firm's core competence and its formation via key structural components for innovation and exporting within an empirical framework.

Effect of methomyl on water quality, growth performance and antioxidant system in liver of GIFT (Oreochromis niloticus) in the presence of peppermint (Mentha haplocalyx Briq.) as a floating bed

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of methomyl (MET) on water quality, growth and antioxidant system of genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT, Oreochromis niloticus) in the presence of peppermint as a floating bed. The concentration of NH3-N, NO2−-N, NO3−-N and TP in T3 (with 200 g wet peppermint) was significantly lower (P < 0.05) than that in T2 (100 g), T1 (50 g) and control, and the nutrient removal rates were 61.90%, 31.59%, 59.86% and 45.92% in 20 days, respectively. Juveniles GIFT (5.1 ± 0.2 g) were exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of 0.2, 2.0, 20 and 200 µg/L of MET for 45 days. After 6 weeks of a feeding trial, percentage weight gain (PWG), specific growth rate (SGR) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were significantly decreased in 0.2, 2.0, 20 µg/L MET groups respectively and increased in the 200 µg/L MET group. Compared with the control, no significant changes in superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were detected in the 0.2 µg/L group. The significant increase in activities of SOD, CAT and GPx was accompanied by a diminution in reduced glutathione (GSH) levels resulting with tilapia exposed to 2.0, 20, or 200 µg/L for 45 days. The highest rates observed in SOD, CAT, GPx were 157.63%, 164.05% and 167.46% of the control respectively, and the lowest inhibition rate in GSH was 66.42% of the control. Peppermint as a floating bed can alleviate the adverse effects of MET, such as growth retardation and oxidative stress.

Are Dental Caries Associated with Oxidative Stress in Saliva in Children and Adolescents? A Systematic Review

This systematic review aimed to assess whether dental caries is associated with oxidative salivary stress. The searches were carried out in electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, LILACS, OpenGrey, and Google Scholar, without restrictions on the date of publication and language. The acronym PECO was used, in which the participants (P) were children and adolescents exposed (E) to dental caries compared (C) to those without dental caries, with the outcome (O) of modulation of oxidative biochemical parameters. After the search retrieval, the duplicates were removed, and the articles were evaluated by title and abstract, following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Then, the papers were read and thoroughly assessed. After selection, the risk of bias assessment and qualitative synthesis were performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) for observational studies. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) tool was used to assess the level of evidence. A total of 5790 studies were found, and 30 articles were considered eligible and were included for the qualitative synthesis and the level of evidence assessment. The studies showed an imbalance of the antioxidant and pro-oxidant parameters in individuals with dental caries, with primarily increases in both total antioxidant capacity and lipid peroxidation. Most articles showed a low risk of bias, having comparability as the main issue. When exploring through GRADE, a very low level of evidence was found. It was possible to observe an association between oxidative stress and dental caries, showing a disbalance of antioxidants and pro-oxidants, but the evidence level was still very low.
Mechanical Properties of Robocast Glass Scaffolds Assessed through Micro-CT-Based Finite Element Models

In this study, the mechanical properties of two classes of robocast glass scaffolds are obtained through Computed micro-Tomography (micro-CT) based Finite Element Modeling (FEM) with the specific purpose to explicitly account for the geometrical defects introduced during manufacturing. Both classes demonstrate a fiber distribution along two perpendicular directions on parallel layers with a 90∘ tilting between two adjacent layers. The crack pattern identified upon compression loading is consistent with that found in experimental studies available in literature. The finite element models have demonstrated that the effect of imperfections on elastic and strength properties may be substantial, depending on the specific type of defect identified in the scaffolds. In particular, micro-porosity, fiber length interruption and fiber detaching were found as key factors. The micro-pores act as stress concentrators promoting fracture initiation and propagation, while fiber detachment reduces the scaffold properties substantially along the direction perpendicular to the fiber plane.
Application of Lactobaillus salivarius WB21 to the Oral Care of Healthy Older Adults: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Crossover Comparative Study

Objective: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover comparative study was conducted in a healthy older population to assess the usefulness of Lactobacillus salivarius WB21 (WB21) ingestion for oral self-care. Methods: The study population included 33 healthy older individuals who were randomly divided into two groups (A and B). Group A consumed WB21 tablets during the first two months and placebo tablets during the following two months. Group B consumed placebo tablets during the first two months and WB21 tablets during the following two months. Before and after ingestion, oral examination, mouth odor test, and saliva collection were performed a total of four times. In addition, health conditions were obtained from a questionnaire survey at the study’s midpoint. Results: Two people in group A and one person in group B dropped out of the study. Thus, 15 people in group A and 15 people in group B were included in the analysis. Over two months of WB21 ingestion, salivary secretory IgA increased significantly (p = 0.047) and tongue coating score decreased significantly (p = 0.013). The plaque index, bleeding on probing, and mouth odor levels (H2S and CH3SH concentrations) did not change. During the 6-month study period, no caries, deterioration of periodontitis, or changes in oral health or systemic subjective symptoms were observed. Conclusion: Continuous ingestion of WB21-containing tablets may promote self-care of the teeth and mouths of healthy older adults. Trial registration: R000028335 (UMIN-CTR).

MANAGERIAL-LEADERSHIP COMPETENCIES FOR ENHANCING THE INTEGRATION OF INNOVATIVE TEACHING-LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES

The integration of teaching and learning technologies has been crucial catalysts for undergoing teaching and learning innovations. However, in many higher education institutions, these integration potentials have neither been consistently nor systematically used. The implementation of innovative teaching-learning technological change in higher education remains a significant challenge. Previous studies suggest that universities need to embrace the role of academic leaders for its effective implementation. We used 74 Mid-Level Academic Leaders (MLALs) from selected universities to show how MLALs attributes influence the managerial-leadership competencies for enhancing the influence the integration of Innovative Teaching-Learning Technological change (ITLTs). Our results suggest that MLALs have a relatively low competency level for motivating the adoption and execution of ITLTs change. Seemingly, the overall competency level for managing the integration of ITLTs change found to be relatively low. Furthermore, the results suggest that age, leader experience, leadership position and prior knowledge are essential factors influencing the managerial competency level for leading ITLTs change among mid-level academic leaders. Thus, this study recommends integrating ITLTS in higher to consider leaders’ experience throughout the process.

Regional opportunity spaces – observations from Nordic regions

ABSTRACT This paper further explores the novel concept of the opportunity space, which refers to the limits and possibilities of regional development trajectories and the idea of deliberative agency. Opportunity spaces are formed, perceived and used by individual agents or groups of agents and serve as a bridge between structure and agency. Drawing on six comparative case studies from Finland, Norway and Sweden, the study introduces a conceptual framework to investigate how actors search for and construct opportunities in regions by linking opportunity spaces to social filters that frame their perception.

There are several ways of constructing this correspondence, and we take them into account. Our main results concern the computation of the affine quantum isometry group G +(X*), for the sphere itself.
Fossil woods from the Lower Siwalik beds of Himachal Pradesh, India

Fossil woods resembling those of Dipterocarpus, Albizzia, Cassia, Cynometra, Millettia and a species of Dryoxylon are described in the present paper from the Lower Siwalik beds of Khokhra near Nalagarh in Himachal Pradesh. These are Dipterocarpoxylon sivalicus sp. nov., D. nalagarhense sp. nov., D. premacrocarpum sp. nov., Albizzinium eolebbekianum gen. et sp. nov., Cassinium prefistulai gen. et sp. nov., Cynometroxylon indicum Chowdhury & Ghosh, Miliettioxylon pongamiensis sp. nov., and Dryoxylon nahanai sp. nov. Present distribution of the modern comparable forms of the fossil species indicates a more humid climate in this region during the Lower Siwalik period. Dipterocarpus which was once so profuse in this region, now grows in north-eastern and southern parts of India. This is because of a drier climate that has prevailed in this region since the Pliocene.
Forest Dynamics and Agroforestry History since AD 200 in the Highland of Sumatra, Indonesia

Understanding past forest dynamics and human influence is essential for future forest management and ecosystem conservation. This study aims to provide insights into the forest dynamics and agroforestry history in the highlands of Sumatra for the last 1800 years. We carried out palaeoecological multi-proxy analyses of pollen, spores, non-pollen palynomorphs, macro-charcoal, and X-ray fluorescence on a limnic sediment core taken from Danau Kecil in the submontane area of Kerinci Seblat National Park in Sumatra, Indonesia. Our results provide an 1800-year record of forest dynamics under climate change and human influence including the transition from forest opening to shifting cultivation and eventually permanent agroforestry. Indicators for forest openings and secondary forest formation have been present since the beginning of records (AD 200). This is followed by the possible initiation of sugar palm (Arenga) cultivation (AD 400). Since AD 500, potential agroforestry and forest gardening practices have promoted major timber trees such as Lithocarpus/Castanopsis, Bischofia, and Dipterocarpaceae combined with sugar palm (Arenga). Permanent agroforestry systems were possibly established since AD 1760, evinced by an increase in commodity trees such as Dipterocarpaceae for resin production. With the Dutch invasion ca. AD 1900, agroforestry intensified and expanded to the Kerinci Valley. This was followed by land use intensification and potential rice cultivation around Danau Kecil since the 1940s. This study provides the first details on past forest dynamics around Danau Kecil since AD 200, showing among others how appropriate forest management and a closed canopy could reduce fire vulnerability in submontane rainforest.
