Online Interprofessional Education (IPE) evaluation for healthcare students as Interprofessional Collaboration (IPC) optimization

Interprofessional Education (IPE) is carried out to optimize interprofessional collaboration (IPE) in order to improve the quality of health services. Currently, conventional IPE learning is starting to shift to more flexible online IPE. The aims of this study were to evaluate the implementation of online IPE. This is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. The study involved 12 facilitators of IPE and four healthcare students. Data collection used focus group discussion (FGD) and semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was used in this qualitative study. The results of this study show that online IPE can facilitate interprofessional learning for health students. Technical barriers are the main obstacles to online IPE. Online IPE training for facilitators and an attractive, interactive IPE online curriculum design are needed to ensure IPE online runs optimally.
Overcoming the Economic Crisis due to a Pandemic through Islamic Finance

The Covid-19 disaster is an exogenously induced downturn that is expected to leave 2021 global GDP approximately 5 percentage points lower than in January 2020 pre-Covid-19 estimates. The negative impact on low-income households is especially severe, jeopardizing the world's significant progress in reducing extreme poverty since the 1990s. To react to frequent crises and catastrophe global economic stagnation, a new paradigm is required. Institutionalized risk-sharing can assist the global economy in resiliently absorbing shocks and stimulating stagnant demand. Islamic finance principles assist the economy in avoiding endogenously generated crises, such as the Global Financial Crisis, and provide a strong safety net against exogenously induced cycles, such as the Covid-19 crisis. In practice, this necessitates a diverse set of well-functioning institutions to translate these principles into real-world impact. As it currently stands, the Islamic financial industry’s many essential components of this spectrum are still missing. The crisis should be viewed as an opportunity to fill gaps and diversify the industry. Given the fact that the Covid-19 crisis is exogenously induced, the impact on Islamic banks is expected to be comparable to that on conventional banks. The similarity of their business model, sharia-compliant equities, on the other hand, outperformed their conventional counterparts. The ineffectiveness of non-profit organizations, like awqaf and zakat, reduced the role of the safety net in curbing the repercussions of the crisis. The Covid-19 pandemic poses liquidity, resilience, and capital challenges for the Islamic banking sector.
Response of Different Levels of Nitrogen and Sulphur on Production and Economics of Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

A Field Research done at Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology, and Sciences in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh in Kharif to study the interactive effect of different levels of Nitrogen and Sulphur on yield and economics of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) var. DRSH -1. Experiment was undertaken on an agricultural research farm in 2021. Nitrogen is a primary nutrient element which plays a major role in growth and development of plant and As Sunflower is an oilseed crop, requires optimum level of Sulphur to produce good quality oil. Thus optimum levels of Nitrogen and Sulphur increases the production and productivity of sunflower crop. A combination of 120 kg N/ha + 45 kg S/ha yielded the maximum Seed yield (1446.20 kg/ha), Stover yield (2794.39 kg/ha), the highest gross return (94.003 x 103 INR/ha), net return (58.619 x 103 INR/ha), and benefit: cost ratio (B:C ratio) (1.66).
Broad-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases and Drug-Resistance Phenotypes of Enterobacteriaceae Isolated from Clinical Specimens in Gonbad-e Kavus, Golestan Province, Iran

clinical specimens out of the samples. The isolates were Escherichia coli (36.1%), Klebsiella pneumonia (25%), Enterobacter cloacae (18.5%), Citrobacter freundii (11.1%) and Proteus mirabilis (9.2%). The highest resistance and susceptibility among the isolates belonged to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (68.5%) and meropenem (11.1%), respectively. The highest prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and ESBL were observed in E. coli and Proteus mirabilis isolates . Conclusion: In this study, the high frequency of MDR phenotypes in the isolates may suggest an increasing trend of antibiotic resistance in Enterobacteriaceae . This could greatly impact the management and treatment of infections caused by these drug-resistant bacteria. Therefore, infection-control measures and continuous monitoring is recommended for controlling the spread of ESBL-producing strains in different geographical areas.
The effectiveness of training methods upon computer implementation in the food service industry

The use of computers in food and nutrition services increased dramatically in the 1980's with the proliferation of the microcomputer. However, computer utilization in the school food service industry experienced very slow growth throughout this same time period. Part of the under-utilization is attributable to lack of software. However, research has confirmed lack of knowledge to be an additional reason. This study investigated three different methods for training management personnel to use computers in school food programs. The three methods were: (a) Workshop Method, (b) Case Study Method, and (c) Independent Study. The training was designed to increase managements' knowledge of computers by instructing them in the principles of conducting a needs assessment of the school food program and evaluating software for achieving objectives. In addition, the study compared managements' attitudes toward computers before and after training. Participants in the study were evaluated by pre-test and at the end of one month and three months to compare changes, if any, in attitudes, knowledge base, software needs, and progress toward computer implementation in school food programs. Results showed that, from the study's inception, managements' attitudes toward computers were positive in the food service program. Attitudes were studied for computer anxiety, confidence, liking, and usefulness. Participants in the Independent Study Method exhibited attitudes of computer anxiety at the pre-test and after one month in comparison to those in the Workshop Method. At the end of three months, differences in attitudes were not apparent. Other results showed activity among participants' responses in the areas of knowledge of food service functions for computerization, determination of software needs, and minimal progress toward computer implementation. Differences resulting from the type of training were not significant, although the Workshop Method and Case Study Method had higher mean rank scores than did the Independent Study Method. Changes in software needs were demonstrated by all three methods. Background information related to computer experience, administrative support, need for training, and demographics was further analyzed and reported. The results indicated that additional training time and a longer time period for implementation may be required. Suggestions for future research include a continued longitudinal commitment from professional organizations and state child nutrition departments.
Quality Multiverse of Beef and Pork Meat in a Single Score

The rationale behind this review is the potential of developing a single score tool for meat quality evaluation based on visual and sensorial assessments of fresh meat. Based on the known sensory wheel concept, the first step was to create quality wheels capturing most common intrinsic and extrinsic quality cues of pork and beef outlined in the latest scientific papers. This resulted in identifying meat color, sensory characteristics and fat content as the most important intrinsic quality cues of fresh beef and pork. Furthermore, the highest number of studies showed the importance of price, certification logos and brand for beef quality evaluation. According to recent articles, price, breed, animal welfare and a veterinary certificate are the most important extrinsic attributes for pork consumers. The second step was to develop a single-score tool named the “Meat quality index”. It has been developed in line with published approaches of different total quality index concepts used in the food sector, providing insights into its application in the meat sector. As a result, this review proposes a unique approach in using quality index application, through the consumer’s preferences aspect of fresh meat.
A Simple and Universal Nucleic Acid Assay Platform Based on Personal Glucose Meter Using SARS-CoV-2 N Gene as the Model

A simple, selective, and quantitative platform for point-of-care diagnostic of COVID-19 is urgently needed as a complement in areas where resources are currently relatively scarce. To meet the needs of early diagnosis and intervention, a proof-of-concept demonstration of a universal personal glucose meter-based nucleic acid assay platform (PGM-NAAP) is presented, which converts to SARS-CoV-2 detection from glucose detection. By using magnetic bead separation together with the hand-held PGM for quantitative readout, PGM-NAAP achieves the 98 pM limit of detection for a sequence related to SARS-CoV-2. The ability to discriminate target nucleic acid from genomic DNA, the satisfactory spike recoveries of saliva and serum samples, as well as the good stability all together suggest the potential of the PGM-NAAP for the screening and diagnosis of suspected patients during the outbreaks of COVID-19 in resource-limited settings without sophisticated instruments. On the basis of these findings, PGM-NAAP can be expected to provide an accurate and convenient path for diagnosis of disease-associated nucleic acid.
Systematic Studies: Students' Attitudes Toward Plants and Plant Science Learning

The term ‘ plant blindness ’ has been used worldwide to indicate students' attitudes who are less concerned about surrounding plants. However, there is still no study on students' attitudes towards plants in Malaysia. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze and synthesize the latest trends of students' attitudes towards plants in science learning. The database from Scopus was used to search for articles, and a total of 16 articles were synthesized. The analysis results found that the trend of research on students' attitudes towards plants is often conducted in 2021, and it can be synthesized that students' attitudes towards plants are still at an unsatisfactory level because students are more interested and knowledgeable about animals better than plants. It is also synthesized that the learning method to overcome students' negative attitudes towards plants is exploration and observation in their surrounding area. The results of this study are expected to help teachers choose appropriate methods to attract interest and change students' attitudes towards plants. It is recommended to conduct further research to see the level of students' attitudes towards plants and the teaching of Malaysian teachers.
Occurrence of drought events at the land–atmosphere interface in Central Asia assessed via advanced microwave scanning radiometer data

The timely and effective early warning of sudden drought events is of great importance for reducing disaster losses and drought risk. Satellite microwave remote sensing with the advanced microwave scanning radiometer (AMSR) has enabled the global monitoring of multiple components of water, such as soil moisture (SM), vapour pressure deficit (VPD), and open water fraction (OWF), on a daily scale since 2002. In this study, the applicability of the AMSR surface wetness index (ASWI) and drought features in Central Asia were studied from 2002 to 2017 based on AMSR data. This study concluded that (1) the spatial and temporal differences in the various water components and coefficient of variation of the Central Asia land–atmosphere interface were large, which led to large spatial and temporal differences under both dry and wet conditions in Central Asia; (2) although the ASWI was not significantly correlated with other drought indices (i.e., gravity recovery and climate experiment (GRACE) combined climatological deviation index (CCDI) and GRACE drought severity index (DSI)) over Central Asia, the maximum Pearson correlation coefficient (CC) between the ASWI and Palmer drought severity index (PDSI) in the Irtysh River Basin was 0.824 (p < 0.05), corresponding to a moving average window of 11 months. The CCs of ASWI and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index on a 6‐month scale (SPEI‐6) in Central Asia were generally more than 0.8 (p < 0.05), indicating that the ASWI was effective for retrieving drought conditions in Central Asia. In addition, these four drought indices (ASWI, PDSI, GRACE‐DSI, and GRACE‐CCDI) revealed that drought occurred continuously after 2003 in Central Asia; (3) the spatial and temporal distribution of dry and wet conditions in Central Asia is closely related to the teleconnection indices (i.e., MEI, SOI, and PDO). Thus, AMSR data are critical for understanding drought events and their evolution in regions influenced by climate change.
Influence of age and girth at opening on growth and productivity of Hevea

Influence of different girth at opening for tapping (40, 45, 55, 60 and 65 cm) of Hevea brasiliensis trees belonging to three dones viz., GT 1, PB 217 and PB 235 on growth, yield and physiological function were studied over a period of ten years in South Eastern Cote d'Ivoire. Opening girth of 40-50 cm for the clone GT 1 and 50 cm for PB 217 and PB 235 was observed to be ideal. This girth achieved at six years after planting corresponded with the physiological maturity of Hevea. (Resume d'auteur)
How Do Entrepreneurial Bosses Influence Their Employees' Future Entrepreneurship Choices?

We adopt a process-based approach to investigate the influence of entrepreneurial bosses on the two main decisions of employees towards becoming entrepreneurs: exit from the current firm and entry into entrepreneurship. In other words, we study the push and pull mechanisms possibly underlying the influence of entrepreneurial bosses. We do so by employing an identification strategy based on comparisons of same-gender matches of bosses and employees, using rich register data for Denmark. We show that same-gender entrepreneurial bosses have a great impact on employees' future entrepreneurship choices, especially among women. We do not find any evidence that female bosses push female employees out of the workplace, by creating a discriminatory environment that forces them to search for alternative career paths. Instead, our analysis finds consistent support for pull mechanisms, with role modeling being the main explanation for the positive influence of female entrepreneurial bosses on female employees' transition into entrepreneurship. We show that the female boss effect is greater than other social interactions identified in prior research. We conclude that entrepreneurial bosses can be role models and female entrepreneurial bosses may thus act as a lever to reducing gender gaps in entrepreneurship rates.
Implicit Subgrid-Scale Modeling of a Mach 2.5 Spatially Developing Turbulent Boundary Layer

We employ numerically implicit subgrid-scale modeling provided by the well-known streamlined upwind/Petrov–Galerkin stabilization for the finite element discretization of advection–diffusion problems in a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approach. Whereas its original purpose was to provide sufficient algorithmic dissipation for a stable and convergent numerical method, more recently, it has been utilized as a subgrid-scale (SGS) model to account for the effect of small scales, unresolvable by the discretization. The freestream Mach number is 2.5, and direct comparison with a DNS database from our research group, as well as with experiments from the literature of adiabatic supersonic spatially turbulent boundary layers, is performed. Turbulent inflow conditions are generated via our dynamic rescaling–recycling approach, recently extended to high-speed flows. Focus is given to the assessment of the resolved Reynolds stresses. In addition, flow visualization is performed to obtain a much better insight into the physics of the flow. A weak compressibility effect is observed on thermal turbulent structures based on two-point correlations (IC vs. supersonic). The Reynolds analogy (u′ vs. t′) approximately holds for the supersonic regime, but to a lesser extent than previously observed in incompressible (IC) turbulent boundary layers, where temperature was assumed as a passive scalar. A much longer power law behavior of the mean streamwise velocity is computed in the outer region when compared to the log law at Mach 2.5. Implicit LES has shown very good performance in Mach 2.5 adiabatic flat plates in terms of the mean flow (i.e., Cf and UVD+). iLES significantly overpredicts the peak values of u′, and consequently Reynolds shear stress peaks, in the buffer layer. However, excellent agreement between the turbulence intensities and Reynolds shear stresses is accomplished in the outer region by the present iLES with respect to the external DNS database at similar Reynolds numbers.
A simple system for extracting water from soil and plant substrates –effects of substrate-derived exchangeable hydrogen on isotope ratios of extracted water–

ABSTRACT Extraction of water from soil and plants for isotope analysis is a key step in hydrological and ecological studies. Current water extraction systems are either inefficient or complex and expensive, and depletion of heavy isotopes such as 2H (deuterium) in extracted water relative to spiked water is commonly observed. We constructed a simple water extraction system using commercially available parts and assessed its sample capacity and performance. We spiked 1% 1H2HO aliquots into soil and plant substrates and analyzed water recovery and isotope exchange of deuterium in spiked water with exchangeable hydrogen in substrates. The water extraction system required 3 days to extract 100% of the spiked water volume when heated at 60°C for plant samples and 100°C for soil samples. Deuterium was depleted in extracted water relative to spiked water due to dilution by substrate-derived exchangeable hydrogen. The exchangeable hydrogen content varied among substrates, causing variation in the degree of deuterium depletion. The simple and low-cost system for water extraction from soil and plant samples decreases barriers to isotope analysis. Estimating substrate-derived exchangeable hydrogen is useful for accounting for deuterium depletion during water extraction.
The Diagnostic Value of Fluoro-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) PET/CT in Fever or Inflammation of Unknown Origin: A Retrospective Study at a Rheumatology Clinic

Introduction Further diagnostic procedures are necessary for patients with fever of unknown origin (FUO) and unknown cause of inflammation (inflammation of unknown origin - IUO) for the identification of the definitive diagnosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution and roles of F-18 FDG PET/CT (fluoro-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography) in the diagnostic process of patients with FUO/IUO. Methods The data of 58 patients who had F-18 FDG PET/CT scans for FUO/IUO were re-evaluated retrospectively. The relationships between definitive diagnosis and fluorodeoxyglucose uptake and SUVmax (maximum standardized uptake value) were examined. Results Rheumatic disease was diagnosed in 26 patients (44.5%), malignancy in 20 patients (34.5%), and infectious diseases in six patients (10.3%). The most prevalent rheumatic disease in patients with FUO/IUO was systemic vasculitis (n:10, 17.2%), especially large vessel vasculitis. There were 37 patients (63.7%) with clinically significant true positive fluorodeoxyglucose uptake. True positive fluorodeoxyglucose uptake was significantly higher in patients diagnosed with malignancy (85%, 17/20 patients) compared to other diagnoses. Fluorodeoxyglucose uptake above physiological levels was determined in 15 of the 26 patients (57.6%) diagnosed with rheumatic diseases. Conclusion The results of this study showed that F-18 FDG PET/CT is a useful imaging modality in FUO/IUO patients, who present a challenging diagnostic process for clinicians. In addition to malignancies, the presence of chronic inflammatory diseases, especially early period systemic vasculitis, were diagnosed in these patients.
Analysis of Septin 9 Gene Hypermethylation as Follow-Up Biomarker of Colorectal Cancer Patients after Curative Surgery

Background: The Septin 9 test analyzes the methylation status of the SEPT9 gene, which appears to be hypermethylated in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). This has been validated as a colorectal cancer screening test. Due to the high sensitivity and specificity found, the justification was to use it as a biomarker tool for monitoring minimal residual disease after radical surgery and recurrence. Methods: A prospective study was carried out at the Fundación Jiménez Díaz University Hospital extracting peripheral blood from 28 patients and 4 healthy donors. Free circulating DNA was obtained and subsequently a PCR reaction to quantify the number of methylated genes. Samples were obtained preoperatively and postoperatively at five to seven days, one and three months after surgery. Results: A total of 32 preoperative samples were analyzed. The sensitivity of the test to detect CRC was 55.6% and specificity was 100%. There were 22 postsurgical samples obtained at 5–7 days after surgery, the sensitivity to detect tumor recurrences was 100% and specificity was 75%. There were 21 samples analyzed 1 month after surgery exhibiting a sensitivity and specificity of 100% and 94.7%, respectively. At 3 months, 31 postsurgical samples were analyzed and the sensitivity and specificity were 66.7% and 80%. Conclusions: Detection of methylation of Septin 9 gene in circulating plasma DNA, obtained from a peripheral blood sample, may be a useful, non-invasive and effective method for detecting minimal residual disease and could therefore predict CRC tumor recurrences. The optimal time in our series to obtain the best prediction results based on Septin 9 methylation levels was one month after surgery. Despite these considerable findings, a study with more patients is necessary to obtain more robust conclusions.
NMOS and PMOS transistors fabricated in strained silicon/relaxed silicon-germanium structures

N- and P-MOSFETs have been fabricated in various epitaxial layer structures containing relaxed Si/sub 1-x/Ge/sub x/, and strained Si active regions. Theoretical calculations predict that the strain-splitting of the conduction bands should produce a higher bulk electron mobility in strained Si. Enhanced electron mobilities have recently been observed in n-type modulation-doped structures employing strained Si. In this work we demonstrate NMOS transistors with peak room temperature electron mobilities which are a factor of 2.2 larger than those measured in devices fabricated in CZ Si substrates. By comparing the behavior of buried- and surface-channel structures, we have observed mobility enhancements associated with both the separation of the electrons from the semiconductor/oxide interface, and the strain-induced band splitting. The room temperature performance of PMOS devices fabricated in such structures is not significantly different from that of the Si control devices. <<ETX>>
