Oral health knowledge, attitude, and performance of teachers and healthcare workers in special schools for the disabled children in Isfahan

Oral health is an important aspect of general health, and is of great importance, especially in disabled children. A school is an ideal place for the implementation of preventive programs. Considering the significance of the prevention of dental caries and periodontal disease in disabled children, and the important role of teachers in the oral health promotion of students, this study aimed to assess the oral health knowledge, attitude, and performance of teachers and healthcare workers in special schools for the disabled children in Isfahan. This descriptive-analytical study evaluated the oral health knowledge, attitude, and performance of 172 teachers and healthcare workers of special schools for disabled children in Isfahan using a questionnaire. The participants were selected using census sampling. Quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed using SPSS via the Chi-square test, t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient at P < 0.05 level of significance. The mean score of knowledge and attitude of teachers was 72.2% and 80.5%, respectively. The mean score of knowledge of healthcare workers was significantly higher than that of teachers (P = 0.007). Age had no significant correlation with the knowledge score (P = 0.41) but was significantly correlated with the attitude score (P = 0.01). Work experience had a significant correlation with the knowledge (P = 0.02) and attitude (P = 0.005) scores. In addition, the educational level had a significant correlation with the knowledge (P < 0.001) and attitude (P = 0.007) scores. The findings of this research showed that work experience had a significant correlation with the knowledge and attitude scores, which can be due to more contact of teachers with longer work experience with disabled children and their higher perception of hygienic needs and problems of these children.
Sequence stratigraphic subdivision of the Humber Group in the Outer Moray Firth area (UKCS, North Sea)

Abstract The Humber Group (Late Oxfordian-Ryazanian) in the Outer Moray Firth has been subdivided into 19 depositional sequences, which are firmly related to a newly defined, consistent biostratigraphic framework. Each sequence has been defined by core sedimentology (where possible), biostratigraphy and electric log patterns. In non-marine to shallow-marine environments (e.g. Piper Formation sensu lato), well-defined transgressive and highstand (or regressive) systems tracts are recognized, which are extensively cored in the area due to their importance as reservoirs of major fields. In younger sections, sequence recognition is based on the presence of submarine fans and maximum flooding surfaces; sequences so defined are to some extent supported by the cyclicity of equivalent shallowmarine sand sequences near the basin margins. The sequence stratigraphy approach has clarified the lateral stratigraphic relationships of reservoir sand units within the Tartan Field, and the relationships between the reservoir sand units in the Tartan, Highlander and Petronella fields. The main causes of the observed cyclic sedimentation are interpreted as the complex interplay between sediment supply, subsidence rates and eustasy. Although the relative importance of the last two remains unclear, the sequence stratigraphic approach followed here has allowed rigorous description and consistent interpretation of vertical and lateral facies associations.
Financial Technology and Financial Inclusion of Small and Medium Enterprises in Kabati Market Kitui County, Kenya.

The paper intents to establish the effect of financial technology and financial inclusion of Small and Medium Enterprises in Kabati market Kitui county, Kenya. Increase of financial access to individuals and other organizations has been due to successfully launched services of financial technology and financial institutions. Despite this development, access to formal financial services like Agency banking, M-Pesa services, online banking and Google play store services (Loan Apps) in small and Medium Enterprises in Kenya is still low. The paper is anchored on Pecking Order Theory (POT), Theory of Asymmetric Information, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Relationship Lending Theory (RLT), and Financial Intermediation Theory. The paper is informed by primary data obtained from Kabati market SMEs by Questionnaires. The study establishes that Financial technology have significant effect on financial inclusion of SMEs. The study recommended that the government should promote and support FinTech strategies such as Agency banking, M-pesa services, online banking and Money Lending Apps, since they facilitate the provision of financial services faster and in a more convenient and efficient manner, while still providing employment opportunities in areas that are underserved by traditional financial institutions as well as increased loyalty and profit for the FinTech companies hence leading to development of our country leading to the achievement of one of the four big agendas of vision 2030.
Comparison Between Pantoprazole Intermittent Dosing and Continuous Infusion in Suspected Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding Prior to Endoscopy: Impact of a Pharmacist-Driven Protocol to Reduce Utilization of Pantoprazole Continuous Infusion

Background: Current practice for patients with suspected or confirmed upper gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is to utilize a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) bolus followed by a continuous infusion for 72 hours. Literature has shown similar outcomes with intermittent bolus dosing compared to continuous infusion. Substitution would lead to reduced costs and utilization of resources. Methods: This was a retrospective case-control study conducted via chart review. Utilizing electronic healthcare record reports, patients in the control arm were screened for inclusion if they received a pantoprazole continuous infusion from December 1, 2020, to March 31, 2021. A total of 38 patients were included in the control arm. Patients in the experimental arm were screened for inclusion with pantoprazole intermittent therapy from January 1, 2022, to June 30, 2022. A total of 60 patients were included in the experimental arm. The primary outcome was a 30-day GIB recurrence. Secondary outcomes included 30-day hospital readmission, 30-day Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile), hospital length of stay (LOS), and number of pantoprazole vials utilized. Results: There was a 65% reduction in the 30-day GIB recurrence in the intermittent bolus arm compared to the continuous infusion arm. Thirty-day hospital readmission was 57% lower in the intermittent bolus arm compared to the continuous infusion arm. The LOS between the two arms was almost identical with the median being five days for the intermittent bolus arm and the median being four days for the continuous infusion arm. The 30-day C. difficile infection rate had 5% of patients acquiring C. difficile in the intermittent bolus arm and 2.5% in the continuous infusion arm. The intermittent bolus arm used 55% fewer pantoprazole vials than the continuous infusion arm. Conclusion: In hospitalized patients, the utilization of pantoprazole intermittent bolus is not only comparably efficacious but potentially represents a safer and economically advantageous alternative compared to the current guideline recommendation of a 72-hour pantoprazole continuous infusion. Further studies could provide more robust data to support our findings and challenge the current recommendation for patients who meet the indication criteria.
LIFESPAN OF DAIRY CATTLE DEPENDING ON THE LEVEL OF EVALUATION OF UDDER LINEAR TRAITS

The dependence of cows lifespan of Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy (UBWD) and Holstein (H) breeds on the level of evaluation of linear type traits that characterize udder morphological qualities in the general system of linear classification was studied. Descriptive traits of the evaluated conformation type were: front udder parts attachment, height of rear udder parts attachment, central ligament, udder depth, front teats placement and length. A certain correlative variability was established between level of evaluation of linear type traits and lifespan of animals. The highly reliable difference between evaluated cows for linear type trait of front udder parts attachment with 1 and 9 scores is significant and was 841 (UBWD; P<0.001) and 810 (H; P<0.001) days. An interbreed comparison of cows lifespan, depending on the evaluation, testified in favor cows of Holstein breed with variability within 43-159 days by an unreliable difference. Difference between the lowest and highest scores for type trait of height rear udder attachment in cows of experimental breeds was 740 (UBWD; Р<0.001) and 810 (H; Р<0.001) days. Animals with an assessment for trait development of central udder ligament lower than 1-3 scores live, according to evaluated breeds, from 2089 to 2401 (UBWD) and from 2154 to 2468 (H) days. Cows with 9 scores for both breeds had the highest lifespan – 2663 days (UBWD), inferior to cows with the lowest score by 754 (Р<0.001) and 2803 days (H) with significant increase on 649 days (Р<0.001). Difference between the average lifespan in cows of Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy breed with 9 and 1 scores for linear type trait of udder depth was 739 (Р<0.001) and 832 days (Р<0.001) in Holstein cows. Lifespan of cows both breeds in the herd was characterized by slight curvilinear variability, depending on the assessment of linear type trait of front teats placement. Consequently, cows of both breeds with an average score of 7 were used in the herd for the longest period. Evaluation of correlative variability of the front teats length with lifespan of cows in controlled breeds indicated that animals with an average score of 5, which was equal to their teats length at 5 cm, had longer functional life. Research results showed that each of evaluated descriptive traits in cows of both breeds has an impact on lifespan with different variability within individual body part, so better expression of linear type trait can be a breeding trait as an indirect predictor of longevity.
Effect of Zinc supplementation on haematology, oxidative stress and plasma biochemical parameters in cadmium exposed goats

The present study was designed to assess the effect of zinc supplementation on haematology, oxidative stress and plasma biochemical parameters in Cd induced lactating goats. Eighteen crossbred lactating goats were divided into three groups (Control, T1 and T2). In T1 and T2 groups, goats were given 10 ppm Cdcl2, while in T2, Zinc @100ppm was also supplemented for period of 120 days. At the end of study, blood glucose, TLC, neutrophil % and AST, ALT were increased significantly in T1 group and except glucose, Zn supplementation in T2 group showed its protective effect on TLC, neutrophil %, lymphocyte %, AST and ALT. There was significant decrease in lymphocyte %, Hb and plasma total antioxidant activity in T1 group. At 30 days, the activity of SOD was increased in T1 and T2 but thereafter activities were significantly decreased at 120 days in T1 but in T2 it was similar to control. The activity of catalase was increased on 30 and 60 days and thereafter decreased from 90 days onwards but the rate of decline was comparatively less in T2. Total immunoglobulin and lymphocyte stimulation index were significantly decreased in T1 group whereas in Zn supplemented group decline trend was less. Henceforth, it was concluded that 100 ppm Zn is helpful in reducing burden of Cd induced biochemical and oxidative stress in goats.
Catfish population and organic media composition affect rice growth and yield in aquaculture-hydroponic systems

Aquaculture and hydroponic systems have been integrated using a variety of designs using fish and plants. Aquaculture and hydroponics are combined with proper management of the plant nutrients using closed and recirculating systems. Catfish and paddy rice are both widely grown by farmers in Indonesia. Aquaculture-hydroponic systems integration with padi rice and catfish is rarely based on research, though. This study was conducted in the fish pond at Tadulako University’s Agriculture Faculty. The split-plot method was used to carry out an experimental design with two (two) components. The catfish population density is the first key plot element, with K0 (without catfish), K1, K2, and K3 (450 population/pond) corresponding to 150, 300, and 450, respectively, catfish per pond. The second sub-plot component is the organic media composition ratio of rice husk charcoal to compost (M1:1, M2:2, and M3:1). The findings demonstrated that as catfish populations and organic compost media (K3M3) were increased, rice growth and yield rose linearly. An integrated farming system could use the integration of a catfish aquaculture system and a hydroponic rice system.
Discerning magmatic flow patterns in shallow-level basaltic dykes from the NE rift zone of Tenerife, Spain, using the Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) technique

Abstract The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) technique is a rapid petrophysical method used to infer magma flow directions within dykes as well as other igneous intrusions. Samples for AMS study were collected from dykes along the upper part of the NE Rift Zone (NERZ) of Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. Of the analysed dykes, 28 have interpretable normal magnetic fabrics. These 28 dykes are therefore suitable to assess the magma flow direction using the imbrication of the magnetic foliation plane from paired dyke margins and/or the overall trend and plunge of the magnetic lineations. AMS fabrics show downwards and upwards flow that could be related to flank and summit eruptions. Overall, however, the direction and sense of magma flow does not follow a specific trend across the NERZ, suggesting that the dykes are supplied by local shallow-level reservoir(s) underneath the ridge or are responding to variations in the local stress field across the axis of the rift zone. The variability of the AMS fabrics suggests a rather complicated propagation mode of magma within the dykes of the NERZ, contrasting with the common assumption of uniform magma propagation within rift zones. Our data therefore support the notion that magma propagation beneath active volcanic systems is inherently more complex than simple subvertical flow from source to final emplacement level, which bears on volcanic hazards worldwide.

Invasions and Local Outbreaks of Four Species of Plague Locusts in South Africa: A Historical Review of Outbreak Dynamics and Patterns

Simple Summary Four species of plague locust, namely the brown locust, the African migratory locust, the red locust, and the southern African desert locust, have threatened agricultural production in South Africa for centuries. The history of the plague invasions of the red locust and African migratory locust into South Africa are described, as well as the rare local outbreaks of the southern African desert locust in the Kalahari Desert region. The dynamics of the locally produced outbreaks of the African migratory locust in the cereal crop environment on the Highveld are discussed in detail. However, the brown locust is by far the most economically important locust species in South Africa, with a very high frequency of outbreaks occurring in the semi-arid Karoo region. After synthetic insecticides became available in 1945, most of the outbreaks were contained within the Karoo following vigorous control campaigns with only short-lived escapes of swarms into grain production areas outside the Karoo and into surrounding countries. However, the large-scale plague eruptions of the brown locust are almost impossible to stop with the resources currently available to the South African locust control organization, and the threat that the brown locust poses to food security in southern Africa is very real. Abstract The current paper provides a detailed review of the historical outbreaks of each of the four plague locust species found in South Africa, namely the brown locust, the African migratory locust, the red locust, and the southern African desert locust. The history and dynamics of the plague infestations and the major local outbreaks are summarized. The typical patterns of the outbreaks of the different species are described, and the threat of these locusts to agriculture in South Africa is defined. The brown locust produces regular outbreaks in the semi-arid Karoo, with large-scale eruptions of plague proportions occurring about once per decade. Patterns of outbreaks often repeat themselves, but the sheer size of the plague outbreaks is almost impossible to stop, and the brown locust has the potential to threaten food security throughout southern Africa. The African migratory locust produces outbreaks in some of the main maize and wheat cropping areas where it is difficult to control. This locust has taken advantage of the man-made crop environment to produce an extra generation per year that was not previously possible in the original grasslands. The coastal area of KwaZulu Natal Province in South Africa was a prime reception and breeding area for plague invasions of the red locust in the past, and the country, therefore, relies on the successful control of outbreaks in east and central Africa to prevent the recurrence of the plague invasions. The southern African desert locust occurs in the Kalahari Desert area, and outbreaks requiring chemical control are rare.
Studies on the Evapo-transpiration from the Paddy Field in the Cooler Regions (1)

This paper deals with the results of measurement of evapotranspiration from the paddy fieild at Kuroishi City situated in the cooler region of Japan, from 1953 to 1956.The amounts of transpiration were below 1mm/day in the early growth stage of rice plants and increased gradually with their growth (Fig. 1). But, the amount of evaporation decreased with their growth (Fig. 6). The evapo-transpiration rates to the evaporation E obtained from the meteorological observation field lay within about 1.0-1.3 in the early growth stage and increased after the young ear formation stage. But the rates decreased again from about the tenth day after heading (Fig. 7). Two peaks of the transpiration rates to E were found after the young ear formation stage and the heading stage. From the index of growth amount ln (l and n mean respectively the plant length and the number of stems per unit area), the transpiration rate t/E (t means the amounts of transpiration) and the seasonal changes of τ(τ means t/E/ln×104), it was presumed that two peaks for t/E during irrigation period would probably be found for the case of ln.Total evapo-transpiration amounts throughout the irrigation period varied annualy from 440mm to 553mm and were 493mm on the average, showing 1.22 times as much as E. The average transpiration amount was found to be 0.45 times as much as the evapo-transpiration. The annual changes for the average transpiration amount were larger than the cases of the evaporation amounts obtained from the paddy field.
Not Relying on the Newton Gravitational Constant Gives More Accurate Gravitational Predictions

The Newton gravitational constant is considered a cornerstone of modern gravity theory. Newton did not invent or use the gravity constant; it was invented in 1873, about the same time as it became standard to use the kilo-gram mass definition. We will claim that G is just a term needed to correct the incomplete kilogram definition so to be able to make gravity predictions. But there is another way; namely, to directly use a more complete mass definition, something that in recent years has been introduced as collision-time and a corresponding energy called collision-length. The collision-length is quantum gravitational energy. We will clearly demonstrate that by working with mass and energy based on these new concepts, rather than kilogram and the gravitational constant, one can significantly reduce the uncertainty in most gravity predictions.
A Study for Hanoi on How Perceived Value and Service Quality Affect Customer Satisfaction in Healthcare Insurance

Healthcare insurance is currently attracting special attention in low- and middle-income countries. Theory and practice have proven that healthcare insurance is a means to improve access to healthcare services for all people, especially those with low incomes, helping to prevent financial risks during illness, especially the risk of financial disaster due to direct payment methods. The empirical literature on health insurance participation is limited despite the importance of insurance participation. This research was conducted through interviews and surveys of customers of insurance businesses in Hanoi, with 242 feedback forms received. The authors process the collected data through SPSS software. Research results show a positive relationship between customer-perceived value and service quality and satisfaction. Service quality also positively impacts customers' perceived value. The research results are the basis for the authors' proposal of policy suggestions for insurance businesses to develop healthcare insurance operations in Vietnam's current insurance market.
