Hydrogen from solar energy, a clean energy carrier from a sustainable source of energy

Solar energy is going to play a crucial role in the future energy scenario of the world that conducts interests to solar‐to‐hydrogen as a means of achieving a clean energy carrier. Hydrogen is a sustainable energy carrier, capable of substituting fossil fuels and decreasing carbon dioxide (CO2) emission to save the world from global warming. Hydrogen production from ubiquitous sustainable solar energy and an abundantly available water is an environmentally friendly solution for globally increasing energy demands and ensures long‐term energy security. Among various solar hydrogen production routes, this study concentrates on solar thermolysis, solar thermal hydrogen via electrolysis, thermochemical water splitting, fossil fuels decarbonization, and photovoltaic‐based hydrogen production with special focus on the concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) system. Energy management and thermodynamic analysis of CPV‐based hydrogen production as the near‐term sustainable option are developed. The capability of three electrolysis systems including alkaline water electrolysis (AWE), polymer electrolyte membrane electrolysis, and solid oxide electrolysis for coupling to solar systems for H2 production is discussed. Since the cost of solar hydrogen has a very large range because of the various employed technologies, the challenges, pros and cons of the different methods, and the commercialization processes are also noticed. Among three electrolysis technologies considered for postulated solar hydrogen economy, AWE is found the most mature to integrate with the CPV system. Although substantial progresses have been made in solar hydrogen production technologies, the review indicates that these systems require further maturation to emulate the produced grid‐based hydrogen.
INVESTIGATING STUDENT’S CRITICAL THINKING DISPOSITION BASED ON GENDER IN PHYSICS TEACHING WITH INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA

Interactive multimedia is able to combine various kinds of representations into one whole media unit. These representations are in the form of visual, auditory, and procedural representations. Interactive multimedia capabilities can directly stimulate the development of students' critical thinking skills. This research has explored the increasing tendency of students to think critically or called critical thinking disposition. In particular, this study compared the increasing levels of critical thinking disposition of male and female students. Field trials employed a quasi-experiment with a pretest and posttest control group design. The subject consisted of 16 male and 16 female students in senior high school at Mataram, Indonesia. The research instrument used description problem that has been adapted to the indicators of critical thinking disposition, namely truth-seeking, open-mindedness, analyticity, systematic, and inquisitiveness. The results indicate that of N-gain research for male students were 35.5 and female 36.4. This shows that the use of interactive multimedia has a positive effect on improving critical thinking disposition in both male and female students.

Transcendence at workplace scale: development and validation

ABSTRACT This paper explores the structural dimensions of Transcendence at Workplace (TAW) and develops and validates a measure for it. Transcendence at Workplace comprises of three correlated yet distinct dimensions: Work as service, Self-connectedness, and Sense of We-ness. Results establish the convergent, discriminant, criterion-related concurrent, and nomological validity of TAW. Findings confirm satisfactory reliability of the measure. This research makes a significant theoretical contribution to the evolving discourse on transcendence (in organizational context) by defining, developing, and validating the measure of Transcendence at Workplace. Practitioners can use the measure for assessing, and raising TAW, which will in turn have benefits for employees, organizations, and the larger community or society.
Predicting Model of Lymph Node Metastasis Using Preoperative Tumor Grade, Transvaginal Ultrasound, and Serum CA-125 Level in Patients With Endometrial Cancer

Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predicting model for lymph node metastasis using preoperative tumor grade, transvaginal sonography (TVS), and serum cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) level in patients with endometrial cancer. Materials and Methods Between January 2000 and February 2013, we identified 172 consecutive patients with surgically staged endometrial cancer. Transvaginal sonography was performed by an expert gynecologic radiologist in all patients. All patients had complete staging surgery including total hysterectomy with bilateral pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy and were staged according to the 2009 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics classification. Various clinicopathologic data were obtained from medical records and were retrospectively analyzed. Results Of 172 patients, 138 patients presented with stage I (118 IA and 20 IB), 12 had stage II, 18 had stage III (2 IIIA, 1 IIIB, 8 IIIC1, and 7 IIIC2), and 2 had stage IV diseases. Most patients had endometrioid adenocarcinoma (88.4%), and others (12.6%) had nonendometrioid histology. Eighteen patients (10.5%) were found to have lymph node metastasis. Deep myometrial invasion on preoperative TVS (≥50%), high serum CA-125 level (≥ 35 IU/mL), preoperative grade 2 or 3 tumors were significant preoperative factors predicting lymph node metastasis. There was no significant association between preoperative histology and lymph node metastasis. We calculated the simple model predicting lymph node metastasis based on preoperative tumor grade, TVS findings, and CA-125 level using logistic regression analysis. The sensitivity and specificity of this model were 94% and 57%, respectively (area under the curve, 0.84; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.74–0.93; P < 0.01). Conclusions Preoperative tumor grade, myometrial invasion on preoperative TVS, and CA-125 can accurately predict lymph node metastasis in patients with endometrial cancer. The current study suggests the possibility that TVS could be positively used for preoperative evaluation strategy in the low-resource countries instead of expensive imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging or positron emission tomography–computed tomography.

Asi, bajo el sustento de la teoria de la autodeterminacion, el objetivo de este estudio ha sido realizar una revision sistematica sobre el apoyo de autonomia en las clases de educacion fisica. Para ello, se ha realizado una revision de 17 articulos cientificos procedentes de las bases de datos de Web of Science, Scopus y Science Direct, donde se miden los efectos que el estilo interpersonal del profesor de educacion fisica tiene sobre los estudiantes. En los estudios se evidencio que el apoyo a la autonomia del docente de educacion fisica genera en los estudiantes mayores niveles de satisfaccion de las necesidades psicologicas basicas, especialmente la autonomia percibida, ademas de la motivacion intrinseca, las emociones y pensamientos positivos de si mismo, las intenciones de realizar actividad fisica en el tiempo libre y el comportamiento futuro hacia la practica deportiva EnglishA physical education (PE) teacher’s interpersonal style may influence students’ affective, cognitive and behavioural patterns. Thus, on the basis of self-determination theory, the purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of autonomy support in physical education lessons. For this purpose, 17 scientific articles taken from the Web of Science, Scopus and Science Direct databases measuring the effects of the PE teacher’s interpersonal style on students were reviewed. These studies show that a PE teacher’s autonomy support generates higher levels of satisfaction of basic psychological needs in students, especially in perceived autonomy, as well as intrinsic motivation, positive emotions and thoughts about themselves, their intention to do physical activity in their free time and future behaviour in terms of doing sport.
Some Traditional Medicinal Plants of North Region from Puebla, Mexico: Uses and Potential Pharmacological Activity of Rumex spp.

This paper, based on the traditional knowledge and research, aims to provide an overview of the current state of local and traditional medical uses, pharmacological potential activities, toxicity and safety of some medicinal plants from north region of Puebla State, Mexico. The information about use medicinal plants was obtained by a poll the therapists from Traditional Medicinal Hospitals from Ayotoxco, Xalacapan and local market of Teziutlan. The information obtained of the empiric knowledge from therapists of Traditional Medicine about of extracts, whole and parts of some plants, like are used on the treatment of several health disorders common in the north region of state Puebla, such as pains, infections, fever, constipation, diahorrea and periodontals disorders is discusses. Rumex spp widely distributed as wild plant in the northern region of Puebla, consumed in salad, presents a variety of applications to treat oral diseases and antipyretic as a poultice, has aroused great interest to be studied by our research group. Despite its historical and cultural importance, the “traditional” use of plants has decreased.
An integrated approach to estimate brand association matching and strength in virtual settings

ABSTRACT This paper proposes an innovative method for estimating brand association matching and strength. It is based on a dual analytical perspective as it compares consumer-perceived with company-defined brand associations, thereby filling a research gap in the offline and online brand studies. In order to build this method, we investigate online communities as authentic interactive environments by combining text-mining with Hybrid Log-Linear models. What emerges is an interdisciplinary method that contributes to extending the use of the user-generated content (UGC) for marketing purposes. Its application is useful for verifying the conditions for customer brand equity and more systematically controlling the adopted brand communications. The analysis also takes into consideration consumers who, after experiencing the virtual setting, have become free-brand tellers and real co-creators of brand meaning. In the study, we focus on online fashion communities as digital platforms where consumer interactions are particularly intensive, and the narratives are rich in brand-related perceptions.
I Like My Leader; Not Yours!

Organizations depend on the output of their employees to attain their organizational goals through sustainable competitive advantage. Individuals’ outcomes are an indicator of this. Thus, contextual factors may be directly or indirectly related to employee performance. One of these factors is leader-follower cultural fi t. Considering that a leader can also shape the organizational culture, the fi t between the leader’s and his/her followers’ values can be transformed into a high-performance outcome. Since personal values are shaped by one’s culture of origin, employees who observe, assess, and judge their leader according to their own values reflect on how congruent their perceived values are with those of their leader and act accordingly. By utilizing convenience sampling procedures, this research surveyed 202 full-time employees working in public institutions and organizations in Istanbul and its districts. The theoretical model was tested by moderated mediation analyses based on bootstrap methods. The research results revealed the collectivist traits of the region under analysis and indicate that individualistic tendencies may also be present. We found support to our theoretical model.
Antibiotics use and resistance patterns of Salmonella species in poultry from Ibadan, Nigeria

Antibiotic use in food-producing animals and associated public health risks are of global concern. A cross sectional study was conducted to determine the pattern antimicrobials use in poultry farms in Ibadan, between February and July, 2009. Thirty poultry farmers were interviewed with structured questionnaires on the patterns of antibiotic usage, knowledge of withdrawal period and antibiotics resistance. Also, 90 cloacal swabs were collected for isolation, characterization and Salmonella spp susceptibility to antibiotics from the farms. Ninety percent of the respondents frequently administered different antibiotics obtained from veterinary retail shops or drugs vendors and salespersons to their chickens. Eighty five percent (85%) of the respondents engaged in self medication without veterinary diagnosis of diseases or prescription. Eighty six percent of the respondents routinely administered most of these antibiotics as feed additives to prevent disease or as growth promoters or egg boosters. Treatment records and dosages were not properly documented in most of the surveyed farms. Only 20% of the respondents had the understanding of withdrawal periods while 80% of the respondents did not practice withdrawal for the fear of economic losses and were not aware of the effects of such practices on the consumers of poultry products. Salmonella species were isolated from 43.3% of the cloacal swabs, the isolates exhibited different patterns of multi-drug resistance. The results indicated unregulated and indiscriminate use of antibiotics by poultry farmers could account for the widespread antibiotics resistance among the Salmonella strains and food safety risks. There are urgent needs for national monitoring of antimicrobial resistance in Nigeria and veterinary public health extension education among poultry farmers on good agricultural practice, responsible usage of veterinary drugs and on the health risks of antibiotics resistance in food-borne pathogens. Strict regulation of food-animal production in Nigeria is also recommended to assure food safety. Keywords : Antibiotics, Resistance, Salmonellosis, Poultry
The Effects Of L-Arginine And L-Name On Coronary Flow And Oxidative Stress In Isolated Rat Hearts

Abstract The aim of this experimental study was to assess the effects of the acute administration of L-arginine alone and in combination with L-NAME (a non-selective NO synthase inhibitor) on the coronary flow and oxidative stress markers in isolated rat hearts. The experimental study was performed on hearts isolated from Wistar albino rats (n=12, male, 8 weeks old, body mass of 180-200 g). Retrograde perfusion of the isolated preparations was performed using a modified method according to the Langendorff technique with a gradual increase in the perfusion pressure (40–120 cmH2O). The following values were measured in the collected coronary effluents: coronary flow, released nitrites (NO production marker), superoxide anion radical and the index of lipid peroxidation (measured as thiobarbiturate reactive substances). The experimental protocol was performed under controlled conditions, followed by the administration of L-arginine alone (1 mmol) and L-arginine (1 mmol) + L-NAME (30 μmol). The results indicated that L-arginine did not significantly increase the coronary flow or the release of NO, TBARS and the superoxide anion radical. These effects were partially blocked by the joint administration of L-arginine + L-NAME, which indicated their competitive effect. Hence, the results of our study do not demonstrate significant effects of L-arginine administration on the coronary flow and oxidative stress markers in isolated rat hearts.
Cumulative Impact Factor : 45 . 07 PATTERNS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF HYPERTENSION PHARMACOTHERAPY IN ZIMBABWE

Hypertension is a non-communicable chronic disease that has been increasing in prevalence in developing countries in the last decade. On a global scale, mortality attributed to hypertension remains high (14%) affecting at least one billion people in the world; and approximately 80 million people in Africa. The aim of this research was to investigate the patterns and characteristics of hypertension pharmacotherapy. A purposive sampling technique was used to recruit a sample of 400 patients with hypertension from twenty randomly selected private pharmacies, Harare Central Hospital outpatients’ pharmacy and Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals outpatients’ pharmacy. Data was analysed using SPSS, mainly descriptive statistical analysis. Systolic blood pressure of 57% of the participants was not under control. Age, body-mass index, waist size, alcohol taking, smoking, diabetes were some of the key characteristics found to explain hypertension. The study has shown that current treatment practices to manage hypertension are not adequately controlling the condition in those affected.
Perceptual modulation of parietal activity during urgent saccadic choices

The lateral intraparietal cortex (LIP) contributes to visuomotor transformations for determining where to look next. However, its spatial selectivity can signify attentional priority, motor planning, perceptual discrimination, or other mechanisms. Resolving how this LIP signal influences a perceptually guided choice requires knowing exactly when such signal arises and when the perceptual evaluation informs behavior. To achieve this, we recorded single-neuron activity while monkeys performed an urgent choice task for which the perceptual evaluation’s progress can be tracked millisecond by millisecond. The evoked presaccadic responses were strong, exhibited modest motor preference, and were only weakly modulated by sensory evidence. This modulation was remarkable, though, in that its time course preceded and paralleled that of behavioral performance (choice accuracy), and it closely resembled the statistical definition of confidence. The results indicate that, as the choice process unfolds, LIP dynamically combines attentional, motor, and perceptual signals, the former being much stronger than the latter.

SOURCE: Prediction Models for Overall Survival in Patients With Metastatic and Potentially Curable Esophageal and Gastric Cancer.

BACKGROUND Personalized prediction of treatment outcomes can aid patients with cancer when deciding on treatment options. Existing prediction models for esophageal and gastric cancer, however, have mostly been developed for survival prediction after surgery (ie, when treatment has already been completed). Furthermore, prediction models for patients with metastatic cancer are scarce. The aim of this study was to develop prediction models of overall survival at diagnosis for patients with potentially curable and metastatic esophageal and gastric cancer (the SOURCE study). METHODS Data from 13,080 patients with esophageal or gastric cancer diagnosed in 2015 through 2018 were retrieved from the prospective Netherlands Cancer Registry. Four Cox proportional hazards regression models were created for patients with potentially curable and metastatic esophageal or gastric cancer. Predictors, including treatment type, were selected using the Akaike information criterion. The models were validated with temporal cross-validation on their C-index and calibration. RESULTS The validated model's C-index was 0.78 for potentially curable gastric cancer and 0.80 for potentially curable esophageal cancer. For the metastatic models, the c-indices were 0.72 and 0.73 for esophageal and gastric cancer, respectively. The 95% confidence interval of the calibration intercepts and slopes contain the values 0 and 1, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The SOURCE prediction models show fair to good c-indices and an overall good calibration. The models are the first in esophageal and gastric cancer to predict survival at diagnosis for a variety of treatments. Future research is needed to demonstrate their value for shared decision-making in clinical practice.
