The Influencing factors on the General Hospital Nurses’ Turnover Intention

The purpose of this study was to find factors affecting on emotional intelligence, career plateau, nursing work environment on the turnover intention among general hospital nurses. The data were analyzed by SPSS/SIN 22.0. Negative correlations were turnover intention and nursing work environment(r=-.397, p<.001), turnover intention and emotional intelligence(r=-.112, p=.033). Positive correlations were turnover intentions and career plateau(r=.352, p<.001). Factors affecting on turnover intention were career plateau and nursing work environment. The career plateau and nursing work environment explained 21.1% of turnover intention. These results can be used as a basis for reduce the turnover intention.
Application of Quantitative Computer-Based Analysis for Student’s Learning Tendency on the Efficient Utilization of Mobile Phones during Lecture Hours

The rapid pace of development and technology enhancements revolutionize the way people communicate and subsequently exert a considerable influence on a student’s involvement and motivation. Mobile phones are considered among the most important devices to have made a breakthrough in every aspect of human life. Students’ persistence in using mobile phones during classroom hours has become a significant concern because of distractions, disruptions, cheating, and inappropriate use. The objective of this paper is to identify the reasons why students use mobile phones during lecture hours by quantitative computer-based analysis. The participants were 520 undergraduate students who completed a questionnaire that is significantly based on the comparison of three principal perceptions of age, gender, and grades. To investigate the reliability of the proposed factors, Cronbach’s alpha parameter was adequately utilized in this study to check the consistency adaptation of these factors and to provide questions on the questionnaire. To validate the measurement scales, qualitative content validity was taken into consideration. The analysis of the correlation matrix that is based on the six administered variables in this study has been conducted in the statistic correlation level of 0.01, which is ranged from 0.043 to 0.601. Although no statistically significant differences were found in the students’ perception regarding their gender and age, the differences were significant regarding their grades as far as the addiction reason was concerned. Consequently, the overwhelming majority of the students tended to use mobile phones during the lecture hours for class-related purposes.
Application of QUAL2Kw to the Oglio River (Northern Italy) to assess diffuse N pollution via river-groundwater interaction

Water quality modeling is increasingly recognized as a useful tool for obtaining valuable information for optimal water quality management. In this study, the free software QUAL2Kw was used to evaluate the impacts of agricultural nitrogen (N) excess on river nitrate (NO3-N) concentrations. We explored the possibility to use QUAL2Kw in order to back calculate the exchange of water and N from the groundwater to the Oglio River, northern Italy, which drains a heavily irrigated and fertilized agricultural land. Along the river course water monitoring activities carried out in the dry, summer period revealed steep increases of NO3-N in different sectors, by up to 2 orders of magnitude, not explained by any significant point inputs. Such increases suggest the occurrence of large water exchange with nitrate-polluted groundwater and diffuse inputs. In turn, groundwater pollution is due to high N excess in the watershed (~200 kg N ha-1 yr-1), flood-based irrigation techniques and soil permeability. The QUAL2Kw model was calibrated using the average of 2 years' data collected in winter 2010 and 2011 and validated using the data of winter 2012. To minimize the error between simulation results and measured data, the constants of inorganic suspended solid (ISS), ammonium (NH4-N), nitrate and organic N were calibrated. The calibration and validation results showed a good correspondence between the calculated and measured values for most of water-quality variables. QUAL2Kw was then run separately with three years' summer data (2009, 2010 and 2011), and large gaps were found between the measured and predicted values of discharge, electrical conductivity, NO3-N and total N. Such gaps are discussed in terms of river-groundwater interactions, limited to the summer period and following irrigation by flooding, rise of the groundwater table and vertical transport of N. The gaps allowed to back calculate the volumes of water and the amount of N exchanged. The total load of NO3-N entering into the river from groundwater was estimated in 25.17, 25.63 and 29.89 ton per day for NO3-N in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Similar results were obtained in another study based on mass balance of N isotopes. The combination of experimental and QUAL2Kw modelled data proved to be a simple, low cost but effective tool in the estimation of NO3-N exchange between the surface and groundwater.

Morally Injurious Experiences, Trauma-Related Guilt, and Substance Use among Iraq and Afghanistan Combat Veterans

MORALLY INJURIOUS EXPEIRENCES, TRAUMA-RELATED GUILT, AND SUBSTANCE USE AMONG IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN COMBAT VETERANS Allison T. Battles Virginia Consortium Program in Clinical Psychology, 2019 Director: Dr. Michelle L. Kelley Exposure to morally injurious experiences (MIEs), or stressors that transgress deeply held moral beliefs, are risk factors for hazardous alcohol use and drug abuse among combat veterans. Guilt following a traumatic event also has a negative impact on veteran’s mental health and is conceptualized as a core symptom of moral injury that may elicit secondary outcomes, including substance use. Significant gaps remain in our understanding of the way MIEs and trauma-related guilt relate to hazardous alcohol use and drug abuse symptoms. Most prior research on MIEs and substance use have been limited to veterans sampled from the general population and further the role of both MIEs and trauma-related guilt in hazardous alcohol use and drug abuse symptoms has not been examined. Consequently, the present study used data collected by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA): (1) to investigate the relationships between combat, MIEs, hazardous alcohol use, and drug abuse symptoms; (2) to explore the effects of combat and MIEs on drug abuse symptoms; (3) to examine the potential mediating role of MIEs on the association between combat and hazardous alcohol use; (4) to evaluate the effects of trauma-related guilt on combat, MIEs, and drug abuse symptoms; and (5) to examine both the individual mediating role of trauma-related guilt and the sequential mediating role of MIEs and trauma-related guilt on the combat-alcohol abuse association. The sample consisted of 285 Iraq and Afghanistan combat veterans; the majority were receiving VA benefits for service-connected disabilities. Participants completed questionnaires on combat experiences, MIEs, trauma-related guilt, hazardous alcohol use, and drug abuse symptoms. Correlational findings revealed that MIEs were positively associated with trauma-related guilt, hazardous alcohol use, and drug abuse symptoms. Hierarchical logistic regression results demonstrated that MIEs have a significant, positive effect on drug abuse symptoms. However, trauma-related guilt did not have a significant effect on drug abuse symptoms. Structural equation modeling revealed that MIEs mediated the association between combat exposure and hazardous alcohol use. However, trauma-related guilt did not mediate the associations between combat exposure, MIEs, and hazardous alcohol use. Study findings partially supported the model that substance abuse symptoms are related to MIE exposure and that MIEs are a pathway through which combat may be related to hazardous alcohol use. However, no evidence was found to support trauma-related guilt’s role in combat veterans’ alcohol use or drug abuse symptoms. Given increasing rates of substance use among recent-era veterans, it is imperative that future research explore additional mechanisms that may be associated with alcohol use and drug abuse symptoms.
Pathogenicity of avian Salmonellae in specific pathogen free chicks.

In the present study we investigated the pathogenicity of the isolated salmonellae to one day old specific pathogen free (SPF) chicks. The selected isolates were based on the most antibiotic resistance strains. The antimicrobial susceptibility test revealed that 46% of the isolated salmonellae were resistant to amoxicillin, 52% to ampicillin, 46 % to cefotaxime, 86% to ciprofloxacin, 82% to clindamycin, 64% to doxycycline, 74% to erythromycin, 62% to gentamicin, 96% to lincomycin, 54% to neomycin, 92% to norfloxacin, 22% to oxytetracycline and 18% to streptomycin. Two hundred and ten, one day old SPF chicks were used to determine clinical signs and mortality caused by Salmonella isolates; Newport, Kentucky, Enteritidis, Infantis, Derby and Typhimurium isolated from broiler poultry flocks. Re isolation of salmonellae was done from dead birds of each groups, (samples taken from each dead chick were liver, heart, spleen and intestine samples). Every week, 5 serum samples were taken randomly from each group for serological test to determine salmonella antibody for each serotype.
The experience of anxiety in person with schizophrenia – study based on interpretative phenomenological analysis

Purpose: People with schizophrenia diagnosis experience anxiety in similar severity as people with anxiety disorders diagnosis and much more often and stronger than healthy individuals. Anxiety is associated with negative consequences such as worse social functioning, increased risk of symptom recurrence and a higher risk of suicide. The aim of this study was a description and qualitative analysis of the experience of anxiety in a person diagnosed with schizophrenia. Methods: A partially structured interview was conducted with a 26-year-old woman, who has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia for six years. The study uses a qualitative method of data analysis – Interpretative Phenomenological analysis (IPA). Results: Basing on the interview, five main subjects were extracted: (1) positive symptoms as a source of anxiety in psychosis, (2) the reasons why anxiety in psychosis is a particularly difficult experience, (3) anxiety in remission, (4) dealing with anxiety, (5) insight. Conclusions: Anxiety in psychosis is stronger and harder to deal with it comapred with anxiety in remission. The fear during psychosis is, for our interlocutor, particularly difficult due to persecutory delusions, feelings of loss of control, lack of criticism and suicidal thoughts. Important aspects of dealing with psychotic anxiety can be: a critical look at psychotic symptoms, feelings of control over anxiety and support from the environment. Our interlocutor compared anxiety experienced during remission to anxiety of healthy but neurotic individuals. In addition, anxiety in remission in a person with a diagnosis of schizophrenia can be triggered by places and memories of the period of psychosis, which supports the concept of postpsychotic PTSD.
EFFECT OF NITROGEN FERTILIZATION LEVELS ON GRAIN YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS IN TRITICALE BASED ON AMMI AND GGE BIPLOT ANALYSIS

This study examined the effects of nitrogen doses rate on grain yield (GY) and yield components of spring triticale (×Tritico secale) cultivars in dry area, based on cultivars plus cultivar × nitrogen doses interaction GGE biplot and AMMI analysis. The research was designed to evaluate the effects of different nitrogen fertilization levels (0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 kg ha of N) on the grain yield and agronomic performance of two cultivars in two growing seasons (2015-16/2016-17). Split plot layout with in randomized complete block design with 3 replications was used in both years. The response to fertilization levels were evaluated through GGE (Genotype main effects and Genotype x Environment interaction) biplot graphic methodologies and regression. Combined analysis of variance of nitrogen applications of two cultivars showed highly significant (p < 0.01) difference between the cultivars, nitrogen applications and interaction. The grain yield of triticale was most of all affected by cultivars (70.8%) and then by nitrogen doses (23.5%) and interaction (5.7%). On the other hand, the study showed that plant height, number of spikes per m2, number of grain of ears and grain yield increased depending on the increasing nitrogen doses of the cultivars. The highest performance of grain yield of both cultivars were associated with nitrogen N3 (120 kg/ha) fertilization in regression and AMMI analysis. The results showed that 80 kg/ha N application can be recommended in triticale traits and grain yield with Esin (new) cultivar. Further more, we found that the GGE biplot method generated highly useful results with high visual quality in the study.
Effect of the C/N Ratio on Biodegradation of Ciprofloxacin and Denitrification from Low C/N Wastewater as Assessed by a Novel 3D-BER System

Emerging pollutants in the form of pharmaceuticals have drawn international attention during the past few decades. Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is a common drug widely found in effluents from hospitals, industrial and different wastewater treatment plants, as well as rivers. In this work, the lab-scale 3D-BER system was established, and more than 90% of the antibiotic CIP was removed from Low C/N wastewater. The best results were obtained with the current intensity being taken into account, and a different C/N ratio significantly improved the removal of CIP and nitrates when the ideal conditions were C/N = 1.5–3.5, pH = 7.0–7.5 and I = 60 mA. The highest removal efficiency occurred when CIP = 94.2%, NO3−-N = 95.5% and total nitrogen (TN) = 84.3%, respectively. In this novel system, the autotrophic-heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria played a vital role in the removal of CIP and an enhanced denitrification process. Thus, autotrophic denitrifying bacteria uses CO2 and H2 as carbon sources to reduce nitrates to N2. This system has the assortment and prosperous community revealed at the current intensity of 60 mA, and the analysis of bacterial community structure in effluent samples fluctuates under different conditions of C/N ratios. Based on the results of LC-MS/MS analysis, the intermediate products were proposed after efficient biodegradation of CIP. The microbial community on biodegrading was mostly found at phylum, and the class level was dominantly responsible for the NO3−-N and biodegradation of CIP. This work can provide some new insights towards the biodegradation of CIP and the efficient removal of nitrates from low C/N wastewater treatment through the novel 3D-BER system.
Silicon Integrated Subharmonic Mixer on a Photonic-Crystal Platform

This article presents a planar silicon integrated subharmonic mixer on top of a photonic-crystal (PC) platform. The local oscillator power is injected through a 2-D PC slab to a resonant cavity that effectively couples the signal to a planar bow-tie antenna. The same antenna, which is printed on the top of the PC cavity, contains an antiparallel Schottky diode pair, which performs the downconversion. The proposed design is a simple, easy-to-integrate, low-cost, low-profile device. Moreover, the described fabrication process is compatible with active component integration. The performance of the design has been experimentally demonstrated showing good agreement with the simulation and is comparable with the state of the art of planar mixers. The work presented here is based on concepts and technologies from electronics and photonics domains and may be a good starting point for the creation of new devices, allowing the integration and upgrading of existing techniques from both fields.
Experimental assessment of solute dispersion in stratified porous media

: The objective of this paper is to evaluate effects of strati‐ fied porous formation on solute dispersion using two-dimensional laboratory tracer tests. An image analysis tech‐ nique was used to analyze the solute dispersion processes and quantify the dispersivity and behaviors of forward and backward tails of solute plumes. Longitudinal dispersivity estimates for the stratified porous media increased with travel distance and are in reasonable agreement with previ‐ ous work. Moreover, in all of the stratified cases the trans‐ verse dispersivity exhibited a similar trend which decayed with travel distance. The summary of dispersivities esti‐ mated from this study and previous studies suggests that if both degree of heterogeneity and scale for stratified and randomly heterogeneous porous media are similar, the lon‐ gitudinal dispersivity is larger in stratified media than in randomly heterogeneous media. In order to quantify behav‐ iors of forward and backward tails, we defined the travel distances x 05 and x 95 corresponding to the 5th and 95th per‐ centiles, respectively, of the cumulative concentrations in the longitudinal direction, and found that the distance between x 05 and x 95 spread out linearly in the stratified cases.
Bone Turnover Changes During Human Orthodontic Tooth Movement - An assessment of Phosphatases Activity in Gingival Crevicular Fluid

Objective: The purpose of this longitudinal study was to ascertain whether acid and alkaline phosphatase activities in gingival crevicular fluid were indicative of bone turnover changes that occurred during one orthodontic cycle of canine retraction in human subjects. Materials and Methods: Seven patients (two males and five females); mean age of 23 years were selected and strapped up with pre-adjusted edgewise appliance (MBT 0.022 x 0.028-inch slot). Leveling and aligning was completed prior to distalization of the maxillary canines. The right side maxillary canine was the distalized canine (DC) and hence the experimental tooth whereas the contralateral canine (CC) was the control tooth. From the mesial and distal tooth sites of DC and CC the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) was collected immediately before canine retraction, an hour after and subsequently weekly for a period of 4 weeks and assayed for phosphatase activities. The results were expressed as total acid and alkaline phosphatases (ACP and ALP) activities determined spectrophotometrically at 300C at 405 nm. Results: Increased ACP activity was observed in the distal site of distalized canine with a significant peak on the 21st day whereas increased ALP activity was observed in the mesial site of distalized canine with significant peaks on the 14th and 28th day. Conclusion: The alternating peaks of acid and alkaline phosphatase activity in GCF was indicative of alveolar bone turnover changes that occurred during canine retraction indicating that orthodontic tooth movement could be biologically monitored to facilitate patient compliance and optimal force delivery.
Nutrition-Sensitive Intervention with African Indigenous Leafy Vegetables among School-Going Children in Machakos County, Kenya

The 2014 Kenya Demographic Health Survey (KDHS) and Micronutrient Survey’s report revealed malnutrition among children aged 5-11 years in Kenya and recommended diversified food-based intervention through vegetable garden establishments to fight malnutrition. School gardens growing African Indigenous Leafy Vegetables (AILVs) ( Amaranthus cruentus and Vigna unguiculata ) were established at Kangundo and Kilalani primary schools in Machakos County and children aged 6-10 years, (Kangundo, N=66, Kilalani, N=46) that met the inclusion criteria participated as study subjects. There were two phases, I (13 weeks) and II (12 weeks) with 4 weeks in between to enable interchange of the role of the school as either experimental or control. the experimental school. Study subjects in the experimental group were fed on the AILVs recipe with an accompaniment of a mixture of cooked maize grains and beans once a day, 5 days a week per phase. The control group fed only on the accompaniment. Baseline and endline study Zn and Fe levels analyzed
Rediscovery of Brassicogethes salvan (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae, Meligethinae) in the southwestern Alps

Brassicogethes salvan (Audisio et al. Insect Systematics and Evolution, 34, 121) is certainly among the most important and unexpected recent discoveries in the European beetle fauna. The species was initially described from a couple of unidentified specimens collected in 1912 on the Maritime Alps (NW Italy). Despite a long series of attempts to recollect the species at the type locality (Rovina Lake, Mount Argentera Massif, Cuneo Province, Piedmont, NW Italy) and several neighbouring areas of the SW Alps between 2002 and 2016, no specimens of this species were found. We re‐discovered B. salvan in a small high valley of the Regional Natural Park of the Maritime Alps, a few dozen kilometers from the type locality. The previously unknown larval host‐plant as Descurainia tanacetifolia (L.) Rchb. , Brassicaceae was determined. Some unusual life history traits were also observed. In an effort to yield a suitable taxonomic placement for this species, we present a partial preliminary molecular phylogeny for this species and related taxa. A discussion regarding some issues about its actual and potential geographic distribution in southern France and northwestern Italy is also provided. We propose an EN (Endangered) classification for this species following the IUCN criteria, and discuss aspects of its rather problematic conservation biology.
