The purpose of the present study is to develop a scale based on student ratings for evaluating physical education teachers to be used in secondary schools. The work-group of the research consists of 892 students who participated voluntarily and were selected randomly among 9 th , 10 th , 11 th , and 12 th grade students who study at secondary schools in Karabuk province centre and its Safranbolu district in 2013-2014 academic year. Statistical analyses were conducted on the obtained data, necessary arrangements were conducted and Scale of Evaluating Physical Education Teachers based on Students Ratings (SEPETBSR) was found to consist of 3 factors and 48 items. KMO (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy) value of the scale was found as . 97, and Bartlett Test of Sphericity value was calculated as 24238.74; and these values were significant at . 01 level. Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficients were calculated as . 96 for the first factor General Performance ; . 91 for the second factor Course Performance , . 71 for the third factor Negative Attitude ; and . 95 for the whole scale. Consequently, Scale of Evaluating Physical Education Teachers based on Students Ratings (SEPETBSR) was found to be a valid and reliable scale that can be used by researchers who study at the subject field.
Bundle Recommendation and Generation With Graph Neural Networks

Bundle recommendation aims to recommend a bundle of items for a user to consume as a whole. Related work can be divided into two categories: 1) to recommend the platform's prebuilt bundles to users; 2) generate personalized bundles for users. In this work, we propose two graph neural network models, a BGCN model (short for <italic/><italic>Bundle</italic> <italic>Graph</italic> <italic>Convolutional</italic> <italic>Network</italic>) for prebuilt bundle recommendation, and a BGGN model (short for <italic/><italic>Bundle</italic> <italic>Graph</italic> <italic>Generation</italic> <italic>Network</italic>) for personalized bundle generation. First, BGCN unifies the user-item interaction, the user-bundle interaction and the bundle-item affiliation into a heterogeneous graph. With item nodes as the bridge, graph convolutional propagation between user and bundle nodes makes the learned representations capture the item-level semantics. Second, BGGN re-constructs bundles into graphs based on the item co-occurrence pattern and the user's supervision signal. The complex and high-order item-item relationships in the bundle graph are explicitly modeled through graph generation. Empirical results demonstrate the substantial performance gains of BGCN and BGGN, which outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines by 10.77% to 23.18% and 20.90% to 64.52%, respectively. We have released the datasets and codes at this link: <uri>https://github.com/cjx0525/BGCN</uri>.
Bactrim reduces the inflammatory response in a murine model of acute rhinosinusitis.

OBJECTIVE To determine whether treatment with an antibiotic (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole) reduced the inflammatory response in a murine form of Streptococcus pneumoniae-induced rhinosinusitis. DESIGN We randomized 18 C57BL/6 mice to either treatment with intraperitoneal trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, 30 mg/kg) or no treatment (control). After 2 days, we inoculated all C57BL/6 mice intranasally with a Bactrim-susceptible strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae, ATCC 49619, suspended in Trypticase soy broth. At day 5 after bacterial inoculation, we sacrificed the mice and prepared histopathologic sections of their sinuses after culturing their nasal cavities by lavage. SETTING Animal care facility at a tertiary, academic institution. METHODS The histopathologic sections of the sinuses were examined in a blind manner for the percent of sinus cavity area occupied by neutrophil clusters, and for the number of neutrophils per square millimeter of sinus mucosa. RESULTS The Bactrim group had a significantly smaller sinus area occupied by neutrophil clusters (1.58% +/- 1.13 vs 4.38% +/- 3.41; P < 0.05), significantly fewer neutrophils infiltrating the mucosa (58.81 +/- 29.63/mm2 vs 105.85 +/- 48.49/mm2; P < 0.05), and significantly less growth of Streptococcus pneumoniae colonies in the intranasal cultures (8 few and 1 moderate vs 3 few, 3 moderate, and 1 many; P = 0.05) compared to the control group. CONCLUSION In our murine model of acute rhinosinusitis, Bactrim decreased the number of neutrophil clusters in the sinus cavities, the number of neutrophils infiltrating the sinus mucosa, and the growth of Streptococcus pneumoniae. We propose that our murine model can be used for the study of the pathophysiology and treatment of acute rhinosinusitis.
Na2CO3-Catalyzed N-Acylation of Indoles with Alkenyl Carboxylates

Abstract The N-acylation of indoles has been accomplished via inorganic base catalysis. It provided an efficient and simple catalysis system for the preparation of N-acylindoles with alkenyl carboxylates as acylating agents. A broad variety of indoles undergo the smooth N-acylation using Na2CO3 as catalyst in MeCN at 120 °C to give the corresponding N-acylindoles in good to excellent yields.

Background: knowledge about moral principles and having moral sensitivity lead to the right decision in nurses when facing moral problems. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between ethical awareness in the nursing profession and moral sensitivity in nurses of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences in 2018.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 333 nurses working in teaching hospitals of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences participated; selected by stratified sampling method with proportional allocation. Data collection tools included demographic information form, and questionnaires of ethics awareness in the nursing profession, and moral sensitivity. Data normality was assessed by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and according to which, parametric t-test and ANOVA or non-parametric Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were done in SPSS 24.Results: The results showed that the overall mean score of nurses' awareness and moral sensitivity was moderate. Also, the majority of nurses had a moderate level of awareness (65.3%) and moral sensitivity (80.4%). The level of ethics awareness by gender and the level of moral sensitivity in according to gender, marital status, shift work and employment status were significantly different (p <0.05). The findings showed that there was no statistically significant correlation between ethical awareness and moral sensitivity in nurses.Conclusion: given to the moderate level of awareness and moral sensitivity of nurses, efforts should be made to improve and promote ethical issues in nursing. It is also recommended to conduct more tailoring studies to teaching the principles of ethical awareness and moral sensitivity and to recognizing the factors affecting them.
A 3D-2D Multibranch Feature Fusion and Dense Attention Network for Hyperspectral Image Classification

In recent years, hyperspectral image classification (HSI) has attracted considerable attention. Various methods based on convolution neural networks have achieved outstanding classification results. However, most of them exited the defects of underutilization of spectral-spatial features, redundant information, and convergence difficulty. To address these problems, a novel 3D-2D multibranch feature fusion and dense attention network are proposed for HSI classification. Specifically, the 3D multibranch feature fusion module integrates multiple receptive fields in spatial and spectral dimensions to obtain shallow features. Then, a 2D densely connected attention module consists of densely connected layers and spatial-channel attention block. The former is used to alleviate the gradient vanishing and enhance the feature reuse during the training process. The latter emphasizes meaningful features and suppresses the interfering information along the two principal dimensions: channel and spatial axes. The experimental results on four benchmark hyperspectral images datasets demonstrate that the model can effectively improve the classification performance with great robustness.
Pre-Service Teachers’ Perceptions of, and Experiences with, Technology-Enhanced Transformative Learning towards Education for Sustainable Development

Teacher education for sustainable development (ESD) is faced with continuing unsustainability trends, which require deep and enduring social transformation. Transformative learning is a possible solution to facilitating reflection on the cognitive and socio-emotional processes underpinning students’ learning towards sustainability. The purpose of this paper is to investigate students’ perceptions of, and experiences with, technology-enhanced self-directed learning and design thinking as possible moderators of transformative learning in order to advance the concept and practice of teacher ESD. These perceptions and experiences are represented by 225 pedagogical and non-pedagogical students from the University of Ljubljana, asked to respond anonymously to three online questionnaires in May and June 2021. Findings indicate that strengthening the transformative aspect of ESD in pre-service teachers requires the consideration of critical reflection, self-awareness, risk propensity, holistic view and openness to diversity, and social support. Moreover, self-directed learning was found to be a moderator for transformative learning among pre-service science teachers, while design thinking was evenly developed among transformative learning for both low- and high-ability students, no matter the study programme. The conditioning factors and explanatory arguments for these results are also discussed.
Attitudes, Barriers, and Experiences Regarding E-Learning and Dental Education during COVID-19 Pandemic

Dental schools used e-learning systems to continue teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to determine attitudes, experiences, and barriers to e-learning during the pandemic among dental students in Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study (descriptive) was performed at the Faculty of Dentistry, Umm Al-Qura University. There were 245 responses to the study questionnaire, having a response rate of 90.74%. The questionnaire was validated through a pilot study. A t-test analysis showed a significance level of 0.05. Participants had moderate levels of attitudes, with the mean and standard deviation (SD) being 2.99 (SD = 1.21) to 3.41 (SD = 1.19). Clinical year students had significantly (p < 0.05) better attitudes than non-clinical year students. The most prevalent personal barrier was “lack of interaction with colleagues” (55.92%), the technical barrier was “the slowness of network” (67.35%), infrastructure/technological barrier was “low bandwidth” (67.76%), the content barrier was “impracticality of some courses” (50.61%), and the barrier related to the instructor was “difficulty contacting academic staff from home” (43.67%). About 83.27% stated that recorded lectures allowed participants to revisit the course, improving learning during the pandemic. However, only 44.08% believed e-learning provided a better opportunity to learn dental clinical procedures because of the zoom function on cameras. The overall attitude toward e-learning was moderate, with several barriers highlighted. Nevertheless, the e-learning system seems to have helped during the pandemic, and it might be essential for dental schools to build a hybrid teaching strategy into their curricula for consistent use.
Effects of water salinity and organomineral fertilization on leaf composition and production in Passiflora edulis

ABSTRACT An experiment was undertaken in Remígio County, Paraíba State, Brazil, from July 2013 to May 2014, in order to evaluate the effects of saline water irrigation, bovine biofertilizer, and potassium type on soil salinity, leaf macronutrient composition, and production of yellow passion fruit cv. BRS Gigante Amarelo. Treatments were distributed in randomized blocks, arranged in a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design, with reference to electrical conductivity of the water (0.35 and 4.00 dS m-1), soil with and without bovine biofertilizer, and application of potassium chloride as a conventional treatment (KCl) and in an organic polymer-coated form, supplied monthly. Bovine biofertilizer was diluted in non-saline water (proportion, 50%) and applied via water at a volume of 6 L plant-1 one day before transplanting, and then every 90 days. The combination of saline water with bovine biofertilizer raised soil salinity to a similar proportion when comparing saline water and conventional potassium chloride with saline water and polymer-coated potassium chloride. The increase in water saline concentrations associated with both types of potassium chloride and with bovine biofertilizer elevated soil salinity from non-saline to saline. On starting to flower, plants of cv. BRS Gigante Amarelo were deficient in macronutrients other than nitrogen and potassium, but nonetheless produced fruits of an adequate mass for the consumer market.
A new solvothermal method for the synthesis of size-controlled YAG:Ce single-nanocrystals

Ce3+-doped Y3Al5O12 (YAG:Ce) nanocrystals were synthesized by a unique solvothermal method, under sub-critical conditions. A home-made autoclave was used, operating in a larger pressure and temperature range than that with conventional commercial equipment and allowing direct in situ photoluminescence (PL) and X-ray absorption characterizations. The study of various synthesis conditions (pressure, temperature, precursor concentration, reaction time) allowed the best reaction conditions to be pinpointed to control YAG:Ce nanocrystal size, as well as crystal quality, and to get efficient optical properties. Without any post thermal treatment, we succeeded in obtaining well-crystallized YAG:Ce nanocrystals (30–200 nm), displaying typical PL properties of YAG:Ce with a maximal emission at 550 nm. The pristine 100 nm-sized YAG:Ce nanoparticles present an internal quantum yield of about 40 ± 5%. In situ X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy demonstrates the presence of Ce4+ in nanocrystals elaborated at high temperature, resulting from the oxidation of Ce3+ during the crystallization process.

But group-B patients demanded for appetizer dueto severe anorexia after chemotherapy except 3 (12%) patients who didn’t use any appetizer or food supplement. In group-A, 15 (60%)patients didn’t need any anti-emetic as compared to group-B all patient (100%) experienced severe nausea during and afterchemotherapy. Group-A patients experienced less hair fall 7 (28%) patients as compared to other group which is 25 (100%) patients.Conclusions: The study showed that, by helping to optimize the immune system, Biobran MGN-3 can not only help maximize treatmentsuccess, but also minimize treatment side effects and improve quality of life during treatment and in recovery.
Low Velocity Zones in the Martian Upper Mantle Highlighted by Sound Velocity Measurements

The InSight mission to Mars is currently monitoring the seismic activity of the planet. Interpretation of seismological observations in terms of composition and mineralogy requires the knowledge of density and thermo‐elastic properties of constituent materials at pertinent conditions. We thus performed phase equilibria experiments and carried out sound velocity and density measurements on aggregates representative of the Martian mantle over pressures and temperatures directly relevant for Mars’ upper and mid mantle. Our results indicate the stability of magnetite, although in a small amount, in phase assemblages at upper mantle conditions, especially in an oxidized environment. The measured pressure and temperature derivatives of compressional and shear velocities show that the temperature‐induced reduction of seismic wave speeds dominates over pressure‐induced effects at Mars' shallow mantle conditions for the predicted areotherms and, independently from mineralogy, support the presence of a low‐shear‐wave‐velocity layer between 150 and 350 km depth, in agreement with seismic observations.
Determinants of Farmers’ Risk Perceptions
of Hailstorms in Northern Bangladesh: Is Adaptive
Capacity the Major Concern?

Extreme weather events (EWEs) such as hailstorms are an increasing threat to agriculture worldwide. To develop successful and efficient hailstorm risk management policies, it is important to understand the composition of farmers’ hailstorm risk perceptions. This study aims to identify the determinants of these risk perceptions. This is done by collecting pertinent information on the perceptions of risk, farm traits, adaptive capacity, and various other personal characteristics from farmers’ households in hailstorm-oriented areas of northern Bangladesh. By analyzing the explanatory power of various risk factors using the binary logistic regression model, this study reveals that the hailstorm risk perceptions of farmers are embodied by subjective risk factors, such as their perceived control of hailstorm risk, and their personal circumstances. Their perceived resources for tackling hailstorm risk are the most significant predictor variable of hailstorm risk perceptions. Marginal and smallholder farmers are very vulnerable and perceive more risk than is the case with the medium-holder and large-holder farmers, owing to the lack of a compensation policy after the occurrence of hailstorms. The relevant authorities should pay urgent attention to managing hailstorm risks by developing adequate adaptive capacity among farmers in northern Bangladesh.
Functional Outcome After Arthroscopic Capsular Release in Management of the Shoulder Adhesive Capsulitis

Background: When adhesive capsulitis develops, it causes shoulder pain and limits ranges of motion in the 2 passive and active ways. Following an arthroscopic release of the frozen shoulder, the pain intensity and frequency were found to be significantly reduced. Objective: This work was performed to assess the clinical findings after use of arthroscopic capsular release in management of shoulder adhesive capsulitis that had not responded to at least six months of conservative treatment prior and to study how much is the regaining of functions of shoulder after the operation. Patients and methods: A total of 18 Egyptian patients with frozen shoulder recruited and treated by arthroscopic capsular release. Preoperative evaluation was done and 1 week, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks of follow-up after surgery. We used Constant score for assessment of shoulder functions and pain. Results: All of internal rotation, external rotation, abduction, forward flexion, and range of motion significantly increased from pre- to last follow up as follows 3.66 ± 1.2, 3.77 ± 1.25, 4.77 ± 1.21, 4.88 ± 1.40, and 17.11 ± 3.83 preoperative versus 8.44 ± 1.46, 8.33 ± 1.41, 8.55 ± 1.14, 9.0 ± 1.57, and 31.88 ± 7.52 respectively in last post-operative follow up. Strength of abduction significantly increased from 13.33 ± 1.71 preoperative to 20.50 ± 3.01 in last follow up postoperative. Pain Constant score significantly increased from 5.94 ± 1.43 to 13.44 ± 2.66. Total shoulder Constant score significantly increased from 48.16 ± 6.31to 84.50 ± 11.96. Conclusion: Shoulder adhesive capsulitis that has not well responded to conservative treatment can be successfully treated with arthroscopic surgery.
Bone exostosis lesions in distal limb of equines (17 cases; 10 horses, 7 donkeys): A clinical study.

Competing interest: The have declared that no competing interest exists. Abstract Lameness is an important clinical sign for the problems of locomotor system. When, visual inspection and diagnostic analgesia are not enough for reaching out the accurate diagnosis of the lesion, diagnostic imaging including radiology helps to determine the problem in a specific area. This study investigated the role of radiography as a crucial step for clinical diagnosis of bone exostosis lesions in equines. Between July 2019 and December 2020, seventeen animals were involved in this study 10 horses and 7 donkeys. These animals (age, 4.1±3.8 years; weight, 199±98 Kg) were suffered from lameness with prominent bone exostosis on the distal limb, then were subjected to radiographic examination with lateromedial and dorsopalmar/dorsoplantar views. The most detected cases were more prevalent in the fore limb (76.5%) than the hind limb (23.5%). The most prevalent lesions recorded in this study were ring bone (9 cases; 52.9%), Degenerative joint disease of the carpal joint and sore shins (3 cases; 17.64%) for each, and then bone spavin and side bone were the lowest prevalent one (1 case; 5.88%) for each. There was no treatment for all cases except sore shins which was improved thoroughly by topical iodine compounds with systemic administration of phenylbutazone. X-ray radiography is still beneficial for equine industry especially in the lesions related to the joints and bone exostosis that appeared on the distal limb.
