Development and Validation of a Clinical Practicum Transition Shock Scale (CPT-Shock) for Korean Nursing Students

Clinical practice is an important educational tool for nursing students, and their emotions during clinical practice should be accurately understood. This study aimed to develop and verify the validity and reliability of a clinical practicum transition shock scale (CPT-shock) to measure Korean nursing students’ emotional responses when transitioning from a theoretical learning process to clinical practice. This research design was a methodological study and the content, construct, criterion validity, and reliability of the items were verified. Content validity was evaluated by seven experts. The preliminary survey was conducted on 24 nursing students, and the factor analysis was conducted on 331 nursing students in various regions of Korea. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the model fit (χ2/df = 1.741, GFI = 0.930, AGFI = 0.902, NFI = 0.869, TLI = 0.923, CFI = 0.938, RMR = 0.035, RMSEA = 0.047) and established discrimination and convergence validity. Positive and negative correlations were found with existing transition shock (r = 0.779) and clinical practice adaptation (r = −0.505), respectively (p < 0.001), thus establishing criterion validity. The reliability was good, with a Cronbach’s α of 0.85. The clinical practicum transition shock scale reflects nursing students’ practice environment and is expected to accurately measure nursing students’ unique emotional shock.
Paper Title (use style: paper title)

DNN/Accelerator co-design has shown great potential in improving QoR and performance. Typical approaches separate the design flow into two-stage: (1) designing an application-specific DNN model with the highest accuracy; (2) building an accelerator considering the DNN specific characteristics. Though significant efforts have been dedicated to the improvement of DNN accuracy; it may fail in promising the highest composite score which combines the goals of accuracy and other hardware-related constraints(e.g., latency, energy efficiency) when building a specific neural network-based system. In this work, we present a singlestage automated framework, YOSO, aiming to generate the optimal solution of software-and-hardware that flexibly balances between the goal of accuracy, power, and QoS. YOSO jointly searches in the combined DNN and accelerator design spaces, which achieves a better composite score when facing a multiobjective design goal. As the search space is vast and it is costly to directly evaluate the accuracy and performance of the DNN and hardware architecture in design space search, we propose a costeffective method to measure the accuracy and performance of solutions under consideration quickly. Compared with the twostage method on the baseline systolic array accelerator and stateof-the-art dataset, we achieve 1.42x~2.29x energy reduction or 1.79x~3.07x latency reduction at the same level of precision, for different user-specified energy and latency optimization constraints, respectively, and the whole search procedure can be finished within 12 hours on single-card GPU. Keywords—Automl, design space exploration, hardware/software co-design, machine learning acceleration.
A signal of persistent Atlantic multidecadal variability in Arctic sea ice

Satellite data suggest an Arctic sea ice‐climate system in rapid transformation, yet its long‐term natural modes of variability are poorly known. Here we integrate and synthesize a set of multicentury historical records of Atlantic Arctic sea ice, supplemented with high‐resolution paleoproxy records, each reflecting primarily winter/spring sea ice conditions. We establish a signal of pervasive and persistent multidecadal (~60–90 year) fluctuations that is most pronounced in the Greenland Sea and weakens further away. Covariability between sea ice and Atlantic multidecadal variability as represented by the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) index is evident during the instrumental record, including an abrupt change at the onset of the early twentieth century warming. Similar covariability through previous centuries is evident from comparison of the longest historical sea ice records and paleoproxy reconstructions of sea ice and the AMO. This observational evidence supports recent modeling studies that have suggested that Arctic sea ice is intrinsically linked to Atlantic multidecadal variability. This may have implications for understanding the recent negative trend in Arctic winter sea ice extent, although because the losses have been greater in summer, other processes and feedbacks are also important.
Palynology after Y2K—Understanding the Source Area of Pollen in Sediments

Pollen grains preserved in lake and bog sediment provide a record of past vegetation that has been an important source of information about climate and land cover during the Quaternary Period. Yet from the beginning, questions have been raised about the source area of pollen in sediment. Interpretation has been hampered by the lack of well-developed theory treating the relationship between the spatial distribution of trees on the landscape and the percentages of pollen in sediment. Within the past decade, however, new theory, models, and empirical data show how heterogeneous vegetation is represented by pollen. The distinction between “local” and “regional” pollen is explained by the Prentice-Sugita dispersal/deposition models, which predict how the ratio of regional to local pollen changes with lake size. Sugita’s model simulating a landscape with heterogeneous vegetation predicts the size of the relevant source area—the area of vegetation reflected in between-lake variations in pollen loading—while demo.
Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization Building and Rebuilding Trust with Promises and Apologies

Using trust games, we study how promises and messages are used to build new trust where it did not previously exist and to rebuild damaged trust. In these games, trustees made non-binding promises of investment-contingent returns, then investors decided whether to invest, and finally trustees decided how much to return. After an unexpected second game was announced, but before it commenced, trustees could send a one-way message. This design allowed us to observe the endogenous emergence and natural distribution of trust-relevant behaviors and focus on naturally occurring remedial strategies used by promise-breakers and distrusted trustees, their effects on investors, and subsequent outcomes. In the first game 16.6% of trustees were distrusted and 18.8% of trusted trustees broke promises. Trustees distrusted in the first game used long messages and promises closer to equal splits to encourage trust in the second game. To restore damaged trust, promise-breakers used apologies and upgraded promises. On average, investments in each game paid off for investors and trustees, suggesting that effective use of cheap signals fosters profitable trust-based exchange in these economies.
First detection of glacial meltwater signature in tree‐ring δ18O: Reconstructing past major glacier runoff events at Lago Verde (Miage Glacier, Italy)

With the aim of evaluating the influence of glacial meltwater signature on tree‐ring stable isotopes, we analysed δ18O and δ13C in the tree rings of Larix decidua Mill. specimens growing in the area of an ice‐contact lake (Lago Verde, at Miage Glacier, European Alps). Additionally, we analysed δ18O in the glacial meltwater of the lake and of the glacier stream and compared it with the δ18O of precipitation predicted by a spatial model. We found that tree‐ring cellulose of trees fed by glacial meltwaters (LVW site) is significantly more depleted in δ18O than at a control site LVM (−0.91‰) fed only by precipitation, thus reflecting the measured higher depletion of glacial meltwaters with respect to local precipitation. δ13C values did not show significant differences in mean values between the two sites but an anomalous correlation with summer temperature was found at the LVW site, probably due to the different responses of trees stomatal conductance. Over the 30‐year period of analysis, four years at LVW (1992, 1995, 2003 and 2009) were markedly depleted in δ18O. These years are those when the highest summer temperatures were recorded in the area (the ones during which glacier ablation usually increases and more depleted meltwaters fill the lake), with the exception of 1995 during which high water levels occurred following the year with the second highest summer temperature (1994). Overall, our analysis demonstrates that tree‐ring δ18O, driven by the glacial meltwater signature in the lake, can be used for detecting past major glacier runoff events. The proposed approach could also be used for quantifying past glacier runoff and for defining past distribution areas of glacial meltwaters in glacier forefields, thus contributing to past environmental reconstructions and to hazard assessment.
Critiquing Computing Artifacts through Programming Satirical Python Scripts

Computing artifacts tend to exclude marginalized students, so we must create new methods to critique and change them. We studied the potential for"satirical programming"to critique artifacts as part of culturally responsive computing (CRC) pedagogy. We conducted a one-hour session for three different BPC programs (N=51). We showed an example of a satirical Python script and taught elements of Python to create a script. Our findings suggest this method is a promising CRC pedagogical approach: 50% of marginalized students worked together to create a satirical script, and 80% enjoyed translating their"glitches"into satirical Python scripts.
Energy Balance Model for Breaking Solitary Wave Runup

The runup of breaking solitary waves on a plane beach has been investigated. Experimental measurements demonstrate the effect of the impact of the jet from a plunging breaking solitary wave and the postbreaking bore formed on the resultant runup. An empirical method was developed based on energy conservation principles to provide an estimate of the runup of breaking solitary waves on a plane slope. Energy dissipation associated with wave breaking was estimated using the results from a numerical model developed by Li. The results from this highly simplified energy conservation model agree reasonably well with experiments, and this model appears to be useful in predicting breaking solitary wave runup on a plane beach.
Evaluation of landslide susceptibility mapping techniques using lidar-derived conditioning factors (Oregon case study)

ABSTRACT Landslides are a significant geohazard, which frequently result in significant human, infrastructure, and economic losses. Landslide susceptibility mapping using GIS and remote sensing can help communities prepare for these damaging events. Current mapping efforts utilize a wide variety of techniques and consider multiple factors. Unfortunately, each study is relatively independent of others in the applied technique and factors considered, resulting in inconsistencies. Further, input data quality often varies in terms of source, data collection, and generation, leading to uncertainty. This paper investigates if lidar-derived data-sets (slope, slope roughness, terrain roughness, stream power index, and compound topographic index) can be used for predictive mapping without other landslide conditioning factors. This paper also assesses the differences in landslide susceptibility mapping using several, widely used statistical techniques. Landslide susceptibility maps were produced from the aforementioned lidar-derived data-sets for a small study area in Oregon using six representative statistical techniques. Most notably, results show that only a few factors were necessary to produce satisfactory maps with high predictive capability (area under the curve >0.7). The sole use of lidar digital elevation models and their derivatives can be used for landslide mapping using most statistical techniques without requiring additional detailed data-sets that are often difficult to obtain or of lower quality.

Instructions for use

: Micro-organisms are known to produce a range of volatile organic compounds, so-called microbial VOC (MVOC). Chamber studies where humans were exposed to MVOC addressed the acute effects of objective and/or subjective signs of mucosal irritation. However, the effect of MVOC on inhabitants due to household exposure is still unclear.
Rehab-Immersive: Improving Upper Limb Rehabilitation for Spinal Cord Injury Patients through Hand-Interactive Virtual Reality

Virtual reality (VR) has become as a valuable tool in medicine and healthcare, benefiting physical and psychological treatments.The aim of this thesis is to address the specific needs of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) patients by developing a VR cloud-based platform for upper limb rehabilitation. The research focuses on enabling patients to interact with an immersive virtual environment using their own hands, eliminating the need for external devices. To achieve this, the platform incorporates hand-tracking functions and ensures accurate recognition of functional grasps, allowing the patient to perform the activities necessary to improve dexterity and motor skills. By monitoring exercises and analyzing kinematic data, therapists and specialists can objectively assess progress and adjust treatment plans to optimize the rehabilitation process. The cloud-based approach allows remote access, data monitoring, and information sharing among healthcare professionals, enhancing treatment decision-making and optimizing outcomes for SCI patients. Finally, clinical trials will be conducted at the Hospital Nacional de Parapléjicos de Toledo (HNPT), a specialized SCI center. The objective is to carry out a functional and usability study of the developed platform, evaluating the physical impact and emotional well-being of the serious games implemented on the platform.
Prevalence and Risk Factors of Postpartum Hemorrhage in Cesarean Section: A Retrospective Cohort Study

10.30699/jogcr.8. 3.285 Background & Objective: Globally, postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains a leading cause of maternal deaths. However, in many low and middle-income countries, information on the magnitude of and risk factors for PPH is scarce. Understanding the relative contributions of different risk factors for PPH is important. We assessed the incidence of and risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage among women who had a cesarean section in Iran. Materials & Methods: Between March 2021 and March 2022, a prospective cohort study was conducted at a university-affiliated general hospital for women who had a cesarean section in Iran. We used Spearman’s correlation for the variables associated with PPH. Results: Among the 300 women, the overall incidence of postpartum hemorrhage was 15.7%. Risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage among deliveries by cesarean section were: body-mass index, previous PPH, preoperative anemia, and preoperative hypofibrinogenemia. Conclusion: The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in the cesarean section was high. Extra vigilance in all women with cesarean section could address the risk factors identified.
Geochemical evidence for a subducted infant arc in Franciscan high-grade-metamorphic tectonic blocks

Some of the evidence of tectonic and chemical processes that occur in subduction zones is preserved in blueschists and eclogites, as validated by the geochemical data presented from high-grade-metamorphic tectonic blocks from the Franciscan Complex in central California. Combining major elements, compatible and incompatible trace element concentrations and ratios, and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic data, we conclude that the protoliths of these high-grade Franciscan blocks were arc lavas with no continental crust–derived components. Although the protoliths underwent high-grade metamorphism at the inception of subduction, the tectonic affi nity of the protoliths can be distinguished by our geochemical study. Our geochemical data are signifi cant in that (1) the protoliths of these high-grade blocks have a different mode of origin than the protoliths of the lower-grade Franciscan basalts that were incorporated later in the subduction complex, as the latter generally are considered to be oceanic-island basalts (OIB) and derived from mid-oceanicridge basalt (MORB); and (2) the protoliths of the high-grade blocks were formed over a pre-Franciscan subduction zone. Based on the geochemical evidence for an arc origin and the available geochronological data, we suggest that protoliths of the highgrade tectonic blocks of the Franciscan Complex and the Coast Range Ophiolite formed in the same infant-arc setting. Initiation of Franciscan subduction in this arc crust led to the formation of the high-grade blocks beneath the young Coast Range Ophiolite. Continued subduction resulted in subduction of older oceanic crust of MORB and OIB origin, some of which was scraped off to form lower-grade metabasites within the Franciscan Complex.
Identifying Relic Igneous Garnet and Clinopyroxene in Eclogite and Granulite, Breaksea Orthogneiss, New Zealand

Eclogite and omphacite granulite occur interlayered on centimetre to decametre scales to form the Cretaceous Breaksea Orthogneiss, with assemblages reflecting peak conditions of P (cid:2) 1 · 8 GPa and T (cid:2) 850 8 C. It is the highest-grade part of the c . 125^115 Ma Western Fiordland Orthogneiss, New Zealand. A gneissic fabric in the host omphacite granulite truncates igneous layering in decametre-scale, coarsely layered clinopyroxenite and garnetite inclusions. Field and microstructural relationships, together with rare earth element (REE) characteristics across all rock types, support the conclusion that most garnet has a common igneous origin; geochemical data alone do not discriminate whether it is igneous or metamorphic. Igneous diopside persists in coarse-grained, weakly deformed samples of clinoyroxenite. Garnet cores in garnetite, late-formed garnet rims in garnetite and delicate garnet films in clinopyroxenite have a range of REE contents interpreted to reflect cumulate processes involving progressive grain growth isolated from the parent magma. Clear rims on inclusion- and Ca-Tschermakite-rich diopside in clinopyroxenite, of a composition that is distinct from grain cores, are interpreted as recrystallization features. Garnet in omphacite granulite occurs in three textural settings, the most commonType 1 garnet having REE characteristics identical to garnet in eclogite, but depleted in heavy REE (HREE) relative to garnet in garnetite. Type 2 garnet in omphacite granulite forms metamorphic coronae on omphacite in contact with plagioclase, has a pronounced positive Eu anomaly and is depleted in HREE compared with Type 1 garnet. Type 3 garnet in omphacite granulite migmatite is indistinguishable from Type 1 garnet, consistent with its formation through magma injection. Cumulate eclogite, pyroxenite and garnetite formed at c . 1 · 8 GPa, exposing an unusually deep and coherent arc section.
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphic variants in rectal cancer: significance for cancer risk and response to chemoradiotherapy

Background: Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) small nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been suggested as risk, prognostic, and predictive factors for colorectal cancer in various populations, but have not been validated so far. The aim of this study was to analyze the association of MTHFR C677T (rs1801133) and A1298C (rs1801131) small nucleotide polymorphisms with the risk of rectal cancer as well as the response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) based on 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin (LV) in the locally advanced setting. Patients and methods: A total of 102 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) and 119 healthy controls were included in this case-control study. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (PCR-RFLP) was used for MTHFR genotyping. Results: Using dominant and recessive models, it was found that the MTHFR 667C allele and the 1298A allele were significantly associated with rectal cancer as low-penetrant factors. Combined genotype analysis highlighted the protective role of the 677CT/1298AC genotype and increased risk for rectal cancer development for carriers of 677CC/1298AA. Haplotype analysis indicated that carriers of haplotype 677C/1298A have an increased risk for rectal cancer development while the haplotype 677T/1298A has a protective role. No significant association with response to chemoradiotherapy was found. Conclusion: Our data point to MTHFR 667C allele and 1298A alleles as low-penetrant risk factors for rectal cancer in our population. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of this type performed on the Slavic population in the Western Balkan area which might be useful for future meta-analyses and the construction of genetic cancer risk prediction panels, as various population-based factors might also be significant in this setting.
Effects of Main Agronomic Characters on Grain Yield of High Yielding Rice Plant Populations

The results of experiment showed that the individuals were conditioned each other in rice plant populations. The relationship between grain yield and the number of panicles per unit area could fit in quadratic equation. The yields had significantly positive correlation with the number of spikelets, ripened grains, primary rachis-branches and secondary rachis-branches per panicle, but the effects of increasing yield were different. The available ways to obtain high yields in the cold area of northern China would be to increase grain number per panicle and to stabilize or to increase simultaneously panicle number per unit area.
Heat flux parameterizations for the Mediterranean sea : the role of atmospheric aerosols and constraints from the water budget

The semi-enclosed nature of the Mediterranean Sea makes it an excellent place to test data sets and standard formulae used to estimate the heat flux into the world's oceans. Oceanographic observations at the Strait of Gibraltar imply a mean annual net loss of 5.2±1.3 W m−2 from from the sea surface (Macdonald et al., 1994). Investigations using bulk heat-flux formulae, however, generally give a large heat gain (≈ 20 to 30 W m−2) through the Mediterranean Sea surface. This discrepancy has been attributed by different authors to an underestimation of the latent heat flux, an underestimation of the longwave radiation, or an overestimation of the incoming shortwave radiation. Examination of the heat flux formulae themselves, and of the transport of anthropogenic and mineral aerosols, suggests that the shortwave radiation has been previously overestimated by approximately 20 W m−2. This overestimation results from an incorrect use of a commonly used bulk formula at very low cloud levels, and direct radiative attenuation due to aerosols. Allowing for the seasonal variability of aerosols over the Mediterranean basin, rather than employing a constant aerosol attenuation factor, improves the agreement of the annual Qs cycle with ground measurements at one location. Current data support a maximum increase in the net longwave radiation of 10 W m−2 from previous estimates. Recent estimates of the Mediterranean water budget do not indicate that the latent heat flux estimate is incorrect.
