Are We on the Same Page About Skin-to-Skin Care? A Descriptive Correlational Study Exploring Skin-to-Skin Care for Postoperative NICU Infants.

Family-centered care (FCC) is considered the gold standard for care delivery in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). However, there are challenges with the implementation of FCC in practice and there is limited literature about how to tailor this approach for specialized NICU populations. To explore FCC for surgical neonates in the NICU, the concept was explored using Roger’s evolutionary concept analysis. Results illustrate that FCC in the NICU is a philosophy or care, rather than a set of interventions. The subsequent cross-sectional descriptive exploratory study showed that the surgical infants in our sample (n=11) received a limited amount of skin-toskin care (median 0 mins/day) and parents reported challenges to being involved in their infant’s care. This thesis supports the challenges with the implementation of FCC in practice and both the need to consider multiple perspectives and the need for broader systemic change in order to support a FCC philosophy.

Spatio‐temporal partitioning and sharing of parasitoids by fall armyworm and maize stemborers in Cameroon

Biological invasion is a global concern with species deployed out of native range, the most recent in Africa being the invasion by fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). One of the most mentioned ecological consequences is the capacity of invaders to change native communities' structure. Busseola fusca Fuller (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) has long been the most destructive pests of maize in Africa. Few or no studies have attempted to look at the interaction between FAW and native maize pests over a cropping cycle for sustainable management. Maize trials were established over two cropping cycles in Cameroon to investigate the nature of such interactions and eventual sharing of parasitoids. FAW incidence decreased with maize growth, while the reverse was observed for stemborers. Few cases of co‐occurrence were recorded at the later maize growth stage. There was a clear indication that FAW infestation was associated with vegetative stages, while stemborers were associated with reproductive stages. Only FAW eggs were found on abaxial and adaxial leaf surfaces, while only stemborer eggs were inside leaf sheaths. Similarly, while larvae of both groups were found in maize whorl and on ears, only FAW larvae were found in closed tassels, while only stemborers were found inside stems. These results are in favour of segregation in time and space in plant colonization by native and invasive pests, which may limit competition and exacerbates damage if no control is provided. The same egg, larval and pupal parasitoids respectively Telenomus remus, Cotesia icipe and Procerochasmias nigromaculatus emerged from isolated FAW and B. fusca eggs, larvae, and pupae. The sharing of parasitoids by both species provides a unique opportunity for augmentative biocontrol.
BSN MOT: A Fast and Cost-efficient Optoelectronic Architecture

Recently, an efficient recursive and symmetrical optoelectronic interconnection network based on biswapped framework named “Biswapped-Hyper Hexa-Cell (BSN HHC)” is reported. In spite of containing a prime advantage concerning network diameter compared to its competitive Biswapped-Mesh (BSN Mesh) optoelectronic architecture; a major limitation of the network is its high cost. In a search for a competitive alternative variation of this network, a fast and a cost-efficient member of biswapped family named “Biswapped-Mesh of Trees (BSN MOT)” is proposed here. The suggested BSN MOT optoelectronic network claims to be a better alternative of counter-part OTIS-Mesh of Trees (OTIS MOT) optoelectronic network, claims advantages concerning diameter, minimum node degree, and network total and optical cost (total cost drops about 10–30% and optical cost drops about 50%). More specifically, compared to competitive Biswapped-Mesh and BSN HHC optoelectronic networks, the proposed network has a major advantage concerning network diameter. Moreover, BSN MOT is a cost-efficient architecture, where total network cost drops about 30–45% than that of BSN HHC. Besides, it is a better alternative for processing numerical problems that require network with “low static maximum node degree”. Thus, on the basis of above-mentioned properties, the proposed network claims to be the most economical and the fastest variation of biswapped framework.
Intestinal parasitic infection: prevalence, knowledge, attitude, and practices among schoolchildren in an urban area of Taiz city, Yemen

Background Intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) are regarded as one of the main public health problems and socio-economic issues adversely affecting the health of millions of people worldwide. Our study aimed to describe the knowledge, attitude, and practices of local urban schoolchildren in Taiz City towards intestinal parasitic infections. Methods and material This is a cross-sectional study conducted in Taiz, Yemen from March to May 2019. A total of 385 schoolchildren were selected using a random sampling technique from 7 primary schools. Wet-mount microscopic examination, formol-ether concentration techniques, and Lugols' iodine were employed in parasite detection and cyst identification. Results Of the 385 schoolchildren examined for IPIs, 107 (27.8%) were positive for the presence of enteric parasites, some having multiple infections. The prevalence was slightly higher in males 46 (28.6%) than in females 61 (27.2%) but have no statistical difference (P = 0.77). Entamoeba histolytica/dispar was the most common infection with 16.4% of cases. A substantial percentage (40.5%) of the respondents displayed poor knowledge. The respondents also revealed inappropriate attitudes and practices that contribute to the prevalence of IPIs in the study. Conclusions The study revealed the prevalence of intestinal parasites among the schoolchildren in Taiz, Yemen, suggesting that IPIs remain a major public health problem. Entamoeba histolytica/dispar was the most prevalent intestinal parasites identified among the schoolchildren. Age, poor knowledge of the mode of transmission, prevention, and acquisition of IPIs, and poor habitual hygiene practices increase the risk of acquiring intestinal infections.
Association mapping of resistance to emerging stem rust pathogen races in spring wheat using genotyping‐by‐sequencing

The identification and characterization of resistance genes should outpace the rapid emergence of new P. graminis f. sp. tritici races, such as TTRTF and TTKTT, to mitigate stem rust damage to wheat. The objective of the current study was to identify and characterize P. graminis f. sp. tritici race resistance association signals. A total of 250 North American spring wheat lines were evaluated at the seedling stage with a total of seven isolates including TKKTP, TKTTF, TKTTF, TRTTF, TTRTF, TTKSK, and TTKTT. The lines were genotyped by a GBS platform and 9,042 SNPs were used for identification of chromosome regions associated with resistance against the seven isolates. Strong association signals were detected on chromosomes 6BL (Sr11 gene region) and 4AL, likely Sr7a, for resistance against both TKKTP and TKTTF. Similarly, association signals were also detected on chromosomes 4AL (race TTRTF resistance) and 4BS (race TTKSK and TTKTT resistance). Association analysis based on mean phenotypic differences between closely related isolates identified QTL that were not elucidated by direct association mapping of the responses, individually. Overall, with the exception of race TRTTF, each race shared at least one association signal with another race. However, the number of race‐specific association signals are larger than that of association signals common among races suggesting the need for identifying and characterizing QTL/genes for newly emerging stem rust pathogen races. There was also high concordance between PCA‐based GWAS association signals and association signals from that of both single and multi‐locus mixed models.
A discontinuous Galerkin finite-element model for fast channelized lava flows v1.0

Abstract. Lava flows present a significant natural hazard to communities around volcanoes and are typically slow-moving (<1 to 5 cm s−1) and laminar. Recent lava flows during the 2018 eruption of Kīlauea volcano, Hawai'i, however, reached speeds as high as 11 m s−1 and were transitional to turbulent. The Kīlauea flows formed a complex network of braided channels departing from the classic rectangular channel geometry often employed by lava flow models. To investigate these extreme dynamics we develop a new lava flow model that incorporates nonlinear advection and a nonlinear expression for the fluid viscosity. The model makes use of novel discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite-element methods and resolves complex channel geometry through the use of unstructured triangular meshes. We verify the model against an analytic test case and demonstrate convergence rates of P+1/2 for polynomials of degree 𝒫. Direct observations recorded by unoccupied aerial systems (UASs) during the Kīlauea eruption provide inlet conditions, constrain input parameters, and serve as a benchmark for model evaluation.
Kinetic Monte Carlo analysis of data retention in Al:HfO2-based resistive random access memories

Kinetic Monte Carlo resistive random access memory simulations are used to understand different retention experiments performed at several temperatures. The physics behind resistive switching allows to explain experimental results, in particular the degradation of the conductive filaments with temperature. It is observed that competing mechanisms control resistive switching in this type of experiments and the thermal dependencies involved are key to explain the measurements. Besides, the simulation approach allows to analyze the existence of percolation paths in the device dielectric and the conductive filament density and compactness. Finally, the key physical mechanisms are detected and some clues related to the retention performance and possible technology improvements are unveiled.
Health Status and Burden in Caregivers of Patients With Multimorbidity

Caregivers of patients with multimorbidity are important for improving patient outcomes. This descriptive study examines health status and burden of 22 caregivers of patients with multimorbidity discharged from the hospital who were enrolled in a self-management intervention study. Caregivers did not receive an intervention. Factors that increased caregiver burden were financial issues, caring for others (e.g., family members), and home obligations. Caregivers averaged between 2 and 3 chronic conditions themselves. Perceived caregiver burden remained unchanged over time for the caregiver whether the patient was in the intervention or the usual care group. We recommend rigorous research with larger samples to better understand the caregiver role, needed resources and potential interventions to mitigate caregiver burden in the multimorbid population during and after care transitions. Longitudinal studies that include assessment and interventions for the caregivers of patients with multimorbidity are needed.
Effects of Salt Stress on Fruit Antioxidant Capacity of Wild (Solanum chilense) and Domesticated (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) Tomatoes

The effects of salt on the quality of fruits were investigated in order to compare the impact of salt on key fruit properties of the cultivated domesticated tomato species (Solanum lycopersicum) and its wild halophyte relative Solanum chilense. To this end, cherry tomato plants (S. lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) and from accession LA4107 (S. chilense) were maintained for 112 days in the absence or presence of NaCl (40 and 80 mM) in nutrient solution. Among others, salinity decreased fruit weight and increased total soluble solid (TSS) in S. lycopersicum but not in S. chilense. The fruit antioxidant capacity estimated by ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) analysis was higher in S. chilense than in S. lycopersicum and increased in the former while it decreased in the latter in response to NaCl. Salinity increased the lycopene (LYC) content but decreased ß-carotene (b-CAR) concentration in the fruits of S. lycopersicum, while these compounds were not detected in the wild halophyte S. chilense. The oxidative status of salt-treated fruits was more tightly regulated in S. chilense than in S. lycopersicum. The two considered species, however, possess complementary properties and interspecific crosses may therefore be considered as a promising option for the improvement of salt-stress resistance in tomatoes.

The Effect of Perceived Organizational Support and Psychological Capital on Job Satisfaction and Knowledge Sharing

In keeping with the ever-growing knowledge-based economy, the role of knowledge itself becomes more significant and it hinges on the management ability to stimulate their organization’s environment to create and nourish knowledge sharing behavior. This research is aimed at determining the effect of perceived organizational support and psychological capital on job satisfaction and knowledge sharing. Drawing from social exchange theory, employee’s knowledge sharing behaviour and satisfaction are the consequences of organizational role-fulfilment. Explanatory research with quantitative approach is used in this research. The primary data was collected using a questionnaire. The sampling method used was a proportional random sampling which provided a sample of 121 non-medical staff at Lavalette Malang Hospital. The data was analyzed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The result of this study shows that perceived organizational support is a significant predictor of non-medical staff’s psychological capital and job satisfaction. However, perceived organization support is an insignificant predictor of knowledge sharing. Psychological capital is a significant predictor to both job satisfaction and knowledge sharing, and is successfully mediating the relationship between perceived organizational support and knowledge sharing.
The Multi-drug Resistance cfr Gene: an Evolving Mechanism for Linezolid Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus

Background: The emergence of linezolid resistance conveyed by the cfr (chloramphenicol-florfenicol resistance) gene in Staphylococcus aureus possess an utmost importance attributable to its ease of spread. Objectives: This study was undertaken for (1) evaluation of the susceptibility of S. aureus clinical isolates from Mansoura University Hospital (MUH), Mansoura, Egypt to linezolid, (2) detection of the risk factors associated with the emergence of linezolid-resistant S. aureus (LRSA) isolates, and (3) detection of the cfr gene encoding for linezolid resistance. Methodology: During the study period, clinical samples were collected from patients admitted to MUH. Antimicrobial susceptibility was assessed by the Kirby-Bauer's disc diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of linezolid were determined by agar dilution (AD) method. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for detection of the cfr gene encoding for linezolid resistance. Results: Out of 197 S. aureus isolates, an overall linezolid resistance of 8.1% was perceived by AD method. Among the risk factors associated with acquisition of LRSA, only hospital stay > 2 weeks retained significance in the logistic regression model (P = 0.002). The cfr gene was detected in 37.5% of LRSA isolates by PCR. Conclusion: The existent study disclosed that the presence of cfr gene is a leading mechanism conferring linezolid resistance in S. aureus. Thereby, prudent consumption of linezolid and ongoing surveillance of cfr-positive strains are crucial to prevent the dissemination of cfr-harboring strains in healthcare-settings.
How livestreaming increases product sales: role of trust transfer and elaboration likelihood model

ABSTRACT With the ever-increasing popularity of livestreaming commerce, understanding how livestreaming contributes to online consumption becomes crucial to social commerce. However, studies pertain to livestreaming commerce are still at a nascent stage. Based on the elaboration likelihood model and trust transfer theory, we aim to examine the underlying mechanism of how livestreaming influences consumers’ trust building and purchasing intention. The determinants, process and consequences of trust are discussed. More than 545 experienced livestreaming commerce users participated in this study in China. Our findings show two different routes through which consumers’ trust can be built and affect their purchase intention and willingness to pay more. We also verify the trust transfer effect exists from trust in the streamer to trust in product in livestreaming commerce. We hope this study will bring more insight into trust and the underlying mechanism of how livestreaming increases product sales.
Comprehensive Survey of Plagiarism in Iran

Background and Objective: We conducted this study to assess the prevalence of plagiarism and to shed light on some dark aspects of this issue. The main objectives included to find out the etiology, prevalence, and detection of various forms plagiarism. Methods: In this Cross-sectional study we used a questionnaire, face-to-face interview, analyzing the present notifications and codes, websites, and literature review. The current study was conducted throughout Iran from 2017-2018. Those associated with scientific journalism, academic staffs, and authors were interviewed or asked to fill out a prepared questionnaire. Results: Nine hundred seventy nine questionnaires were circulated. Out of this 706 (72.1%) were completed and returned. Those with a master degree were most cooperative in filling out the questionnaires (36.4%); followed by Assistant Professors (29.6%). About 74.1% of respondents, had not participated in any educational workshops on plagiarism (P<0.001) while 10.8% had not heard anything about plagiarism (P<0.001). As regards correct reply as for definition and detecting plagiarism; 91.1%, 40.8%, 48.4% and 57.9% could reply correctly (P<0.001). Forty-one-point one percent of the participants believed that reprimand would be the best punishment. The percentage of plagiarism as per people associated in journal administration, was 22.9%; based on experts’ opinions, it was 30.0%; and based on analysis of some journals published in Iran, it was 25.5%. Conclusion: We found a noticeable prevalence of plagiarism in Iran. Many factors are involved in this misconduct; most important being the need for academic staff and students to publish e more papers regardless of their quality to meet some of the academic requirements. Considering the high rank of Iran in terms of scientific growth worldwide, it is expected from the regulatory authorities to monitor all aspects of scientific misconducts in medical journalism.
SITE QUALITY CURVES FOR AFRICAN MAHOGANY PLANTATIONS IN BRAZIL

Site quality estimation is an important tool in forest management since it is useful for modeling growth and yield for even-aged stands. Data from African mahogany (Khaya ivorensis A. Chev.) Brazilian plantations were used to develop a model to predict dominant height growth, comparing dynamic base-age invariant site index models with the guide curve method (static models). For the evaluation of the candidate models qualitative and quantitative criteria were used. We also verified the stability of the candidate models, preferring a model providing fewer site class changes when predicting site index from different ages. The Lundqvist-Korf function fitted with the guide curve method proved to be effective and accurate for site classification and dominant height predictions of African mahogany stands. The range of observed site index, at a reference age of 15, was between 17 and 33 meters.
Persons with intellectual and multiple disabilities activate via non-verbal responses a smartphone’s Google Assistant to access preferred stimulation

Objectives The present study evaluated a new smartphone-based program to help 12 participants with intellectual disability plus visual and motor impairments to self-regulate their stimulation input (thus avoiding their dependence on staff) through simple non-verbal responses. Method Nonconcurrent multiple baseline designs across participants were used to assess the effects of the program. The technology used for the program involved a Samsung J4 Plus smartphone with Android 9.0 operating system, two voice recording devices, smart-plugs, and a mini speaker. The smartphone was provided with a Google account and Internet connection, which allowed the participants to access Google Assistant and Google Play Music. The participants could make requests for two different types of stimulation (e.g. songs and familiar voices or noises) by activating via hand pressure the two voice recording devices. The verbal request messages emitted by the devices were recognized by the Google Assistant, which led the smartphone to deliver the related stimulation. Results During the baseline sessions (without the support of the voice recording devices), the participants failed to access any stimulation. During the intervention and post-intervention phases (with the support of the voice recording devices), all participants managed to access the types of stimulation available independently. The mean frequency of responses (i.e. activations of both voice recording devices) per session ranged between about 8 and 14. Conclusion The new smartphone-based program can be viewed as a useful resource to enable individuals like the participants of this study to access preferred stimulation independently.
