Department of Basic Medicine and Clinical Pharmacy, China Pharmaceutical University, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, People’s Republic of China Purpose: Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been known as a major chronic health problem in China. Suboptimal management of diabetic patients may incur serious complications, even death. The quality of post-hospital care has a good relationship with community pharmacists. However, data describing the current situation from care between community pharmacists and patients in China are lacking. Our article is to investigate community pharmacists’ activities, evaluate their attitudes towards providing diabetes care, assess their understandings, and identify perceived barriers. Methods: A survey divided into four parts was carried out randomly in China. The part of basic characteristics, understandings, and pharmacists’ perceived barriers was rated with a few listed choices scales, while the Likert scale was used to identify on the part of attitudes. Quantitative data were shown in frequency and valid percent. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and non-parametric test conducted on data. A P-value ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 737 surveys were collected. The respondent pharmacists maintained a simply moderate understanding of diabetes care and the pharmaceutical services provided met basic needs rather than clinical ones, though they showed a good momentum towards providing better service. The respondent pharmacists considered patients lacking knowledge on self-management, shortage of funds as the main barriers. Conclusion: Efforts are supposed to make to expand pharmacists’ scope of practice, lessen patients’ reluctance, and create platforms for pharmacists receiving further education.
Multiresidue determination of pesticides in fruit and vegetables by gas chromatography-mass-selective detection and liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection

A method is described for determining 199 pesticides in fruit and vegetables. Residues are extracted from samples with acetonitrile, and coextractives are removed with a miniaturized charcoal-Celite column cleanup. Analysis is performed by gas chromatography with mass-selective detection in selective-ion monitoring mode. Two injections per sample are required to cover all compounds. Positive analytes are confirmed by retention time and ion ratios. Carbamates are analyzed by liquid chromatography with postcolumn reaction and fluorescence detection. Recovery data were obtained by fortifying 3 matrixes (pears, carrots, and bananas) at 0.1-0.5 ppm. In addition, the method demonstrated acceptable performance for analysis of other crops such as apple, strawberry, orange, pineapple, asparagus, beet, cucumber, tomato, pepper, squash, green peas, potato, and sweet potato. Limits of detection ranged from 0.02 to 0.2 ppm depending on the compound.
Spatial modeling of Oligonychus perseae (Tuttle, Baker and Abbatiello) using geostatistical techniques

Within the pests that affect the avocado crop we find Oligonychus perseae or better known as crystalline spider. This mite produces affectations in the epidermis of the leaves discoloring the injured areas, in severe attacks they cause defoliation and low production, all this as a result of the extraction of the cellular content of the tissues. In the State of Mexico, there are about 10 000 hectares planted with avocado, with an average production of 15. 602 t ha. The spatial distribution of O. perseae in four municipalities producing avocado var. Hass through the application of geostatistical analysis and ordinary krigeado. The results show that the crystalline spider populations are presented in an aggregate way, adjusting mostly spherical models. The area infested with the mite exceeded 73% of the municipality in all samples and the maximum number of individuals found was 1 445 organisms per tree. The most affected municipalities were Coatepec Harinas and Donato Guerra.
Tapping into Bloom Taxonomy’s Higher-Order Cognitive Processes: The Case for Multiple Choice Questions as a Valid Assessment Tool in the ESP Classroom

This article describes the results of Action Research conducted in an ESP classroom of Dhofar University located in Oman. Following the call of Oman Vision 2040 to emphasize educational practices that promote the development of higher-order cognitive processes, this study raises the following question: Can an online multiple choice question (MCQ) quiz tap into the higher-order cognitive skills of apply, analyze and evaluate? This question was also critical at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic when Omani universities switched to the online learning mode. The researchers administered an online MCQ quiz to 35 undergraduate students enrolled in an ESP course for Engineering and Sciences. The results showed that MCQ quizzes could be developed to tap into higher-order thinking skills when the stem of the MSQ is developed as a task or a scenario. The study also revealed that students performed better on MCQs that tap into low-level cognitive skills. This result can be attributed to the prevalent practice in Oman to develop assessment tools that tap only into a level of Bloom’s taxonomy, which involves the cognitive process of retrieving memorized information. The significance of the study lies in its pedagogical applications. The study calls for the use of teaching and assessment practices that target the development of higher-order thinking skills, which is aligned with the country’s strategic direction reflected in Oman vision 2040.

Efficacy of a Mushroom Derived Saltiness Enhancer in Increasing Saltiness and Consumer Acceptance in Low Sodium Applications

One of the main challenges of reducing sodium in food is a loss in palatability. To address this problem, salt enhancers have been implemented in commercial products to increase the perception of saltiness when sodium is reduced. The increase in saltiness perception is hypothesized to lead to an increase in consumer acceptance. In this study we evaluated a mushroom-derived saltiness enhancer (MDSE) prepared from enzymatically hydrolyzed mushroom protein that was then thermally reacted with cysteine under kitchen-like conditions. Previous research has demonstrated the saltiness enhancing effects of the MDSE; however, the enhancement on consumer acceptance has not been evaluated. In the present study, hedonic threshold methodology (HTM) was employed to identify the compromised acceptance threshold (CAT) in a reduced-sodium beef-mushroom blend meatball with various levels of MDSE. Confirming previous findings in simpler food matrices, low levels of MDSE (1.75 mg MDSE/g meatball) allowed for a 15% reduction in salt with no change in perceived saltiness. Both sodium concentration and MDSE level had a significant effect on acceptance. Within each MDSE level, sodium reduction corresponded with decreased scores in liking. The addition of MDSE at all levels increased saltiness perception, significantly decreasing the proportion of participants describing the samples as “Not Salty Enough. ” Additionally, we found evidence showing the limitations of HTM in evaluating the effectiveness of saltiness enhancers or salt replacers while simultaneously varying sodium concentration. Practical Application Reducing sodium in food typically corresponds with decreased consumer acceptance. A mushroom-derived saltiness enhancer (MDSE) prepared from enzymatically hydrolyzed
Millennial social media users' intention to travel: the moderating role of social media influencer following behavior

PurposeSocial media (SoMe) influencer marketing is a popular practice. The current study examines the interplays between SoMe influencers' source credibility, Millennial users' attitudes and intention to travel. It further investigates the moderating role of SoMe influencer following behavior on the aforementioned relationships.Design/methodology/approachA total of 212 useable responses were collected through an online survey. Structural equation modeling and hierarchical multiple regressions were employed for hypotheses testing.FindingsResults indicated that source credibility had a significantly positive influence on the SoMe users' attitudes, which in turn was positively associated with the intention to visit the endorsed destination. Moreover, both relationships were strengthened for SoMe influencer followers than for nonfollowers.Originality/valueThe study expanded the source credibility theory to the use of SoMe influencer marketing on travel destinations among Millennial SoMe users. In addition, the research applied the self-determination theory to fill the gap in literature by examining the moderating role of SoMe influencer following behavior.
Meson in a relativistic Dirac formalism

The mass spectra of Ds meson is obtained in the framework of relativistic independent quark model using Martin like potential for the quark confinement. The predicted excited states are in good agreement with the experimental results as well as with the lattice and other theoretical predictions. The spectroscopic parameters are employed further to compute the decay constant, electromagnetic transition and leptonic decay widths. The present result for its decay constant, fP (252.82 MeV) is in excellent agreement with the value 252.6 ± 11.1 MeV reported by CLEO-c and the predicted branching ratios for (Ds → τ ν̄τ , μν̄μ) (5.706 × 10 , 5.812 × 10) are in close agreement with the PDG values ((5.43± 0.31) × 10, (5.90 ± 0.33) × 10) respectively.

This open-label, low-intervention study evaluated critical error rates with dry-powder inhalers (DPIs), before and after training, in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods: Patients prescribed an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) (ELLIPTA, Turbuhaler, or DISKUS), long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA)/ LABA (ELLIPTA or Breezhaler), or LAMA-only DPI (ELLIPTA, HandiHaler, or Breezhaler) were enrolled. Critical errors were assessed before training (Visit 1 [V1]; primary endpoint) and 6 weeks thereafter (Visit 2 [V2]; secondary endpoint). Logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) for between-group comparisons. Results: The intent-to-treat population comprised 450 patients. At V1, fewer patients made ≥1 critical error with ELLIPTA (10%) versus other ICS/LABA DPIs (Turbuhaler: 40%, OR 4.66, P=0.005; DISKUS: 26%, OR 2.48, P=0.114) and other LAMA or LAMA/LABA DPIs (HandiHaler: 34%, OR 3.50, P=0.026; Breezhaler: 33%, OR 3.94, P=0.012). Critical error rates with the primary ICS/LABA DPI were not significantly different between ELLIPTA ICS/LABA (10%) and ICS/LABA plus LAMA groups (12–25%). Critical errors with the primary ICS/LABA DPI occurred less frequently with ELLIPTA ICS/LABA with or without LAMA (11%) versus Turbuhaler ICS/LABAwith or without LAMA (39%, OR 3.99, P<0.001) and DISKUS ICS/LABAwith or without LAMA (26%, OR 2.18, P=0.069). Simulating singleinhaler versus multiple-inhaler triple therapy, critical error rates were lower with ELLIPTA fluticasone furoate/vilanterol (FF/VI; 10%) versus ELLIPTA FF/VI plus LAMA (22%), considering errors with either DPI (OR 2.50, P=0.108). At V2, critical error rates decreased for all DPIs/groups, reaching zero only for ELLIPTA. Between-group comparisons were similar to V1. Conclusion: Fewer patients made critical errors with ELLIPTA versus other ICS/LABA, and LAMA or LAMA/LABA DPIs. The effect of “verbal” training highlights its importance for reducing critical errors with common DPIs.
Preparation of rigid polyurethane foams using low-emission catalysts derived from metal acetates and ethanolamine

Abstract Two metal acetate-ethanolamine complexes, namely Cu(OAc)2(EA) and Zn(OAc)2(EA), were synthesized from metal acetates [M(OAc)2, where M=Cu and Zn] and ethanolamine (EA). These metal acetate-ethanolamine complexes can be used as catalysts in the preparation of rigid polyurethane (RPUR) foams. Both Cu(OAc)2(EA) and Zn(OAc)2(EA) were obtained as viscous liquids, which have very weak odor and could be easily dissolved in the starting materials of RPUR foam formulation. The results were compared with RPUR foam prepared from dimethylcyclohexylamine (DMCHA), which is a commercial catalyst with very strong amine odor. Considering the gel time and rise time, Cu(OAc)2(EA) had higher catalytic activity than Zn(OAc)2(EA) and both metal acetate-ethanolamine complexes had lower catalytic activity than DMCHA. Density and compressive strength of RPUR foam catalyzed by Cu(OAc)2(EA) were comparable to that prepared from DMCHA.
Octogenarians’ Breast Cancer Is Associated with an Unfavorable Tumor Immune Microenvironment and Worse Disease-Free Survival

Simple Summary In recent years, as the elderly population has grown, the number of elderly breast cancer patients has increased, but their biological characteristics are still controversial. This study investigated octogenarians’ breast cancer biology and its tumor microenvironment utilizing an in-silico translational approach to multiple large patient cohorts. We found that octogenarians’ breast cancer was associated with worse survival and an unfavorable tumor immune microenvironment such as M2 macrophage but not with aggressive cancer cell biology. Our report is important for understanding the characteristics of elderly breast cancer patients and would be critical for the development of breast cancer treatment in the future. Abstract Elderly patients are known to have a worse prognosis for breast cancer. This is commonly blamed on their medical comorbidities and access to care. However, in addition to these social issues, we hypothesized that the extreme elderly (octogenarians—patients over 80 years old) have biologically worse cancer with unfavorable tumor immune microenvironment. The Cancer Genomic Atlas (TCGA) and the Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer International Consortium (METABRIC) breast cancer cohorts were analyzed. The control (aged 40–65) and octogenarians numbered 668 and 53 in TCGA and 979 and 118 in METABRIC, respectively. Octogenarians had significantly worse breast cancer-specific survival in both cohorts (p < 0.01). Octogenarians had a higher ER-positive subtype rate than controls in both cohorts. Regarding PAM50 classification, luminal-A and -B subtypes were significantly higher in octogenarians, whereas basal and claudin-low subtypes were significantly lower (p < 0.05) in octogenarians. There was no difference in tumor mutation load, intratumor heterogeneity, or cytolytic activity by age. However, the octogenarian cohort was significantly associated with high infiltration of pro-cancer immune cells, M2 macrophage, and regulatory T cells in both cohorts (p < 0.05). Our results demonstrate that octogenarians’ breast cancer is associated with worse survival and with an unfavorable tumor immune microenvironment.
Use of basil leaf ethanol extract in alginate base edible film

Alginate is usually obtained by extracting from brown seaweed, mainly Sargassum sp which grows almost along the coasts of the islands in Indonesia. One of the efforts to utilize alginate was by employing as raw material in the production of edible film. The disadvantage of films made from carbohydrates is that they are not very good at regulating water vapor migration. One way to improve performance of edible film in inhibiting water vapor transmission is to add vegetable oil. In this study, the effect of adding basil leaf ethanol extract was observed to improve the performance of alginate-based edible film. Basil leaf extract was added at concentrations of 0.5%, 1% and 1.5%. The resulting edible films were observed for chemical characteristics (moisture content), physical characteristics (thickness, tensile strength, water vapor transmission rate, elongation, brightness, solubility) and antibacterial performance. The results showed that the concentration of basil leaf extract had a significant effect on moisture content, thickness, tensile strength, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), and elongation values. Edible films do not have antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The addition of basil leaf extract at a higher concentration resulted in an alginate-based edible film with lower moisture content, higher water solubility, higher thickness, higher tensile strength, lower WVTR, and lower elongation percentage.

Investigation of the impact of heat treatment on the layer formation of AlSi-coated boron-manganese steel

Hot stamping is a well-established technology for producing safety relevant car components. The usage of hot stamping allows for reduced sheet thicknesses and weight of formed parts due to an increase in strength because of martensitic phase transformations. To prevent surface carburization and the formation of oxide layers AlSi coatings are applied to the workpiece surface. Due to a lack of suitable lubricants at process temperatures of over 800 °C, severe friction and wear affect the final part quality. Furthermore, process temperatures influence the layer formation and surface roughness due to diffusion processes. Consequently, a deeper process understanding is needed to acquire detailed knowledge of the impact on the tribological behavior to increase part quality and reduce tool wear. To this end the influence of heat treatment parameters on the coating layer and the subsequent layer formation is analyzed by comparing the resulting material composition and surface roughness. This is achieved by analyzing the impact of the furnace temperature and holding time on an AS150 coating and determining the effect of the parameters via metallographic investigation and tactile measurement.
The Use of E-learning as an Online Based Arabic Learning Media for Students

The distance learning system requires schools and teachers to be able to take advantage of the online platform as a medium to support the learning process. This study aims to analyze the use of E-learning as a medium for learning Arabic in Ma’had SMA Islam Sabilillah Malang. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through observation, interviews and documentation study. The data analysis technique uses Milles and Huberman’s theory, namely reducing, presenting and verifying data. The results of this study indicate that; 1) the use of E-learning causes a transformation of learning from a collaborative approach to an individual instructional approach in Arabic learning, 2) Arabic learning patterns using E-learning change student dependence on teachers to become dependent on learning instructions contained in E-learning. The findings of this study illustrate that learning Arabic using E-learning will be meaningful for students if the subject matter is well designed and clear.
