Resilience as a moderator in the relationship between burnout and subjective well-being among medical workers in Serbia during the COVID-19 pandemic

Background/Aim. During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, exhaustion and difficulties at work can seriously endanger the mental health of medical workers. The aim of this study was to examine whether resilience is a moderator of association between burnout and subjective well-being among medical workers at the time of the pandemic. Methods. The research was conducted on a sample of 521 medical workers (354 female), among whom were 245 physicians and 276 medical technicians. The average age of the respondents was 38.66 years. Data were collected using online questionnaires comprising of the Brief Resilience Scale, the Work Burnout Scale, the Short Subjective Well-being Scale, and the Sociodemographic Data Questionnaire. Regression and interaction analysis (by SPSS macro ''PROCESS 3.5'', author A. F. Hayes) was used for data analysis and processing. Results. The results show that burnout is a significant negative predictor of subjective well-being of medical workers (? = -0.19; p <0.01), that resilience is a significant positive predictor of subjective well-being (? = 0.40; p <0.01), and that the interaction of resilience and burnout is a significant positive predictor of subjective well-being (? = 0.09; p <0.01). In subjects who had developed resilience at the level of +1 SD, the negative effect of burnout on subjective well-being was 2.8 times lower than in subjects who had resilience at the level of -1 SD. Conclusion. The findings of the study confirmed that resilience reduces the connection between burnout and subjective well-being, which is a significant argument that medical workers should be provided with resilience training programs in order to prevent burnout and preserve mental health during a pandemic.
Excitation energy dependence of Raman spectra of few-layer WS2

Raman spectra of few-layer WS2 have been measured with up to seven excitation energies, and peculiar resonance effects are observed. The two-phonon acoustic phonon scattering signal close to the main E2g1 peak is stronger than the main peaks for excitations near the A or B exciton states. The low-frequency Raman spectra show a series of shear and layer-breathing modes that are useful for determining the number of layers. In addition, hitherto unidentified peaks (X1 and X2), which do not seem to depend on the layer thickness, are observed near resonances with exciton states. The polarization dependences of the two peaks are different: X1 vanishes in cross polarization, but X2 does not. At the resonance with the A exciton state, the Raman-forbidden, lowest-frequency shear mode for odd number of layers appears as strong as that for the allowed case of even number of layers. This mode also exhibits a strong Breit-Wigner-Fano line shape and an anomalous polarization behavior at this resonance.
Opportunistic predation events of bats entangled in mist nets by margay Leopardus wiedii (Schinz, 1821) in northwest Honduras: recommendations to avoid preventable casualties.

Predation of entangled bats captured in mist-nets is common but infrequently documented. As such, this welfare issue is often not considered when mist-netting surveys are being designed. Margays (Leoparduswiedii) are small neotropical cats that are known to have a varied diet and exhibit opportunistic hunting behaviour. Despite bats not having been frequently reported as a prey item for margays, studies on this felid’s feeding ecology remain scarce. We discuss the potential for margays to feed on bats when they become entangled in mist nets, providing two examples from Cusuco National Park, Honduras. In light of this, we provide recommendations as to how such opportunistic predation events can be mitigated in future surveys.
Prevalence of Depression and Associated Factors among Type 2 Diabetes Patients attending hospitals in Ilu AbaBor and Bunno Bedelle Zones, South West Ethiopia, 2020: A Cross Sectional Study

Introduction: Depression is one of major health problems of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, it remains undiagnosed and left untreated in more than half of diabetes cases. Despite 80% of people with type 2 diabetes live in low and middle-income countries; many studies on depression and its associated factors among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were conducted in the developed world. Objective: The present study was aimed to assess prevalence of depression and associated factors among type 2 diabetes patients attending hospitals in Ilu AbaBor and Bunno Bedelle Zones, South West Ethiopia, 2020. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was conducted on 354 type 2 diabetes patients attending hospitals of Ilu AbaBor and Bunno Bedelle Zones from January 1 to March 30, 2020. Convenient sampling technique was used to select study participants after the sample size was allocated to each hospital. Data were entered into EpiData manager version 4.2. 2 and exported to statistical package for the social science (SPSS) version 20.0 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Bivariate and Multivariate logistic regressions. The statistical significance was set at p<0.05 Results: Out of the 354 patients recruited, 321 (90.7%) patients were involved in the study. The mean age of the participants was 41.3 with SD of 12.8 years. The prevalence depression was 118 (34.9%) of which 20.9% of participants were moderately depressed. Age [AOR 2.7; 95%, CI: 1.10, 6.43], family or social support [AOR=1.7, 95% CI: 1.37, 2.57], having diabetic complications [AOR=3.8, 95% CI: 1.61, 9.37] and level FBS [AOR=5, 95% CI: 1.93, 12.68] were the factors significantly associated with depression Conclusion: Relative to global estimation, the prevalence of depression was high among patients with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, early diagnoses and treatments of depression primarily to improve self-care and medication adherence which in turns reduce risk of disability and early death were recommended.
A cross-sectional survey of side effects after COVID-19 vaccination in Saudi Arabia: male versus female outcomes

COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing public health crisis. Many COVID-19 vaccines have been developed with different efficacy and safety profiles. The current study aimed to investigate the short-term side effects associated with Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine among males and females who received the first dose. A cross-sectional survey was conducted at KAAUH between February 28 and March 12, 2021. The main outcomes were the reported side effects at days 1, 2, and 3 post-vaccination. The study included 528 participants, of whom 49.8% (n = 263) were males. The reported side effects among all participants during the first day included myalgia (49.8%), fever (42%), headache (40%), numbness (8.5%), eye muscle pain (6.3%), palpitations (4.7%), shortness of breath (4.4%), sore throat (4.2%), and gastrointestinal symptoms (4.2%). No anaphylaxis or thrombotic events were reported during the study period. There were statistically significant differences in the side effects reported (females vs males) during the first day, which included myalgia (63% vs 36.5%, p-value = 0.000), fever (51.7% vs 32.3%, p-value = 0.000), headache (55.5% vs 24.3%, p-value = 0.000), numbness (11.7% vs 5.3%, p-value = 0.009), sore throat (6.4% vs 1.9%, p-value = 0.009), eye muscle pain (9.4% vs 3%, p-value = 0.002), shortness of breath (7.5% vs 1.1%, p-value = 0.000), and palpitation (9.1% vs 0.4%, p-value = 0.000). The same side effects showed significant differences on day two. The reported side effects were common but not serious. Female respondents appeared to have more COVID-19 vaccine-associated symptoms.
Safe transition from open to pure laparoscopic donor nephrectomy: Approach and results

Introduction: Laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy (LLDN) offers many advantages compared to open living donor nephrectomy. However, the perceived difficulty in learning LLDN has slowed its wider implementation. Herein, we describe the evolution of LLDN at a single center, emphasizing the approach and technical modifications and its impact on outcome. Methods: The series included a 2&#s189;-year period and three different surgeons. We started with two-stage plan for establishing LLDN at the institute (introduction and consolidation). Data of laparoscopic donor nephrectomy performed at the institution were prospectively evaluated regarding donor and recipient outcome. Results: From December 2016 to April 2019, 221 donors underwent LLDN. Three donors required conversion to open surgery. The mean operation time was 96.4 (62–158) min and the mean warm ischemia time was 186 (149–423) s. The complications were observed in 11.6% of donors from LLDN group and all complications were Class I and Class II only (Clavien–Dindo classification). No Class III and Class IV complications occurred. In the present study, there was some learning curve effect observed only in operative time (OT) with longer OT in initial cases. However, the overall operative complications were minimal, showing that this learning curve had no deleterious effects on donor safety. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that with proper planning, team approach, and a few technical modifications, the transition from open to LLDN could be safe and effective.
Customers' adoption of financial services offered by banks and fintechs partnerships: evidence of a transitional economy

In recent years, the number of fintech startups has increased substantially, especially those that offer financial services in areas considered as traditional advantage of commercial banks such as payment, deposit or lending services. This paper examines the cooperation in the provision of financial services between banks and Fintech from consumers’ perspective, which is the customers’ adoption of financial services offered by the partnership between banks and Fintechs. The study employs SEM utilizing data of 234 customers using financial services in Vietnam to identify the factors influence their behaviors and intention to use financial services offered by banks and fintechs partnerships. The findings indicate that perceived usefulness, brand image, user innovativeness and trust have positive effects on customers’ attitude and consequently on their intention to use. However, there is no evidence regarding the impact of perceived ease of use and perceived risks on behavior and intention to use of customers. The findings also provide more evidence on the factors that influence the intention of customers’ technology acceptance in the traditional Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).
Teachers’ Autonomy Support in Synchronous Online Learning Environments

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of teachers’ autonomy support in synchronous online learning envi - ronments. The participants included 197 Japanese undergraduates. The hypothetical model posited that perceived teachers’ auton - omy support was related to students' intrinsic motivation and metacognition, which, in turn, were related to self-evaluated achieve - ment. The results showed that perceived teachers’ autonomy support was related to students' self-evaluated achievement, and this relationship was mediated by intrinsic motivation. Perceived teachers’ autonomy support was also related to metacognition, although metacognition did not have a mediating effect. The role that teachers play in synchronous online learning environments is also discussed.
Emotional Intelligence and its Associated Factors among Nursing Students in a Middle Eastern University

Introduction: Emotional intelligence (EI) needs to discover the quality location as a core element inside thecontinuum of nursing education and the professional nurse.Objective: The aim of this study is to identify the level of emotional intelligence (EI) of baccalaureatenursing students and to develop a dashboard of information for further interventions.Method: This is a cross sectional descriptive study conducted in a public university in Oman using simpleproportionate randomized sampling technique. Data was collected from 232 participants using TEIQue- SFQuestionnaire (Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form) during the fall and spring semestersof 2018.Results: The majority of the nursing students (85.5%) had normal scores in total (43.1 to 71) and all thesubscales of emotional intelligence. Statistically significant higher scores were reported in male nursingstudents in total and emotionality component scores. There were significant associations reported betweenthe EI scores and the CGPA and level of study. Higher age category and being male predicted higher EIscores.Conclusion: The findings of the study has paved an understanding on the level of emotional intelligenceof the nursing students on which the researchers can build suitable interventions for furtherance of their EI.
Are mindful people less aggressive? The role of emotion regulation in the relations between mindfulness and aggression

Abstract Inducing mindfulness has shown a promising effect on reducing aggression in both clinical and nonclinical populations, possibly because mindfulness can improve emotion regulation. The present study examined the association between mindfulness and aggression through potential mediating effects of several emotion regulation strategies. University and community samples of U.S. adults completed questionnaires on mindfulness, emotion regulation strategies, and trait aggression. Results indicate that mindfulness was associated with rumination and expressive suppression, which mediated the mindfulness‐aggression relationship. Most facets of mindfulness were unrelated to the use of reflection and cognitive reappraisal. The nonjudging of experience facet of mindfulness was negatively related to hostility through rumination and expressive suppression. In contrast, the observing mindfulness facet was positively related to verbal aggression and hostility; these relations were mediated by rumination and expressive suppression.
Water Safety Education Programs in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Seattle Communities: Program Design and Pilot Evaluation

Drowning is a public health concern that disproportionally affects children and minorities in Washington State. Community health educators from Seattle Children’s Hospital designed a Water Safety Education and Lifejacket Giveaway Program for low-income parents of preschool-aged children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The program was interpreted into multiple languages and parents and children in attendance received free lifejackets. The mixed-methods pilot evaluation of this program found statistically significant relationships between language and self-reported parent swim skill level (English-speaker OR 4.6; 95%CI: 1.84 – 11.54); and confidence of keeping one’s child safe (English-speaker OR 3.34; 95%CI: 1.10 – 10.4). Additionally, parents who self-reported that they could swim had four times the odds of feeling confident in keeping their children safe around the water (95% CI: 1.21 - 13.28). Qualitative data from follow-up interviews identified that the program boosted parent knowledge and confidence in safe water practices. Multi-lingual delivery and the role of partner preschools was critical to this program’s success. Specific programmatic focus on adult parent/caregiver skills and knowledge that reduce risk around the water should be a priority for future efforts to reduce drowning.
The Most Common Anatomical Variation of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve: Extralaryngeal Branching

Objective: Extralaryngeal branching of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is frequent. In various studies, detection rate of extralaryngeal nerve branching was increased by intraoperative neuromonitorization (IONM). Our aim was evaluation of the relationship between the features of extralaryngeal branching of RLN and other anatomic variations in thyroidectomy patients under the guidance of IONM. Methods: Patients underwent thyroidectomy using IONM between January 2016 and December 2019 and whose RLNs were fully explored till the nerve’s entry point to the larynx, were enrolled to the study. Extralaryngeal branching of RLN was accepted as branching of the nerve at a ≥5 mm distance from its laryngeal entry point and having its all branches entering the larynx. Entrapment of RLN at the region of ligament of Berry (BL) by a vascular structure or posterior BL and relationship between RLN and inferior thyroid artery (ITA) was evaluated. Results: Out of 696 patients meeting the inclusion criteria, 1127 neck sides (536F and 160M) were evaluated. Mean age was 49.1±13.4 (range; 18–89). Nerve branching ratio was 35.3% and was higher in females than males (38.2%vs.25.8%, p<0.0001, respectively). Extralaryngeal branching of RLN was detected in 398 (35.3%) out of 1127 nerves. A total of 368 (92.5%) RLNs had two, 27 (6.8%) nerves had three, and 3 (0.7%) had multiple branches. RLN crossed anterior to and between branches of ITA more frequently in branching nerves than non-branching nerves (47.7 vs. 44.4% and 12.8% vs. 7.6%, respectively) but crossed posterior to ITA less frequently in branching nerves (38.5% vs. 48%, respectively, p=0.001). Entrapment of RLN at the region of BL was higher in branched nerves (25.9% vs. 17.5%, respectively, p=0.001). Entrapment of RLN wasmore frequent at the right side than left side both in branching (31.5% vs.19.4%, respectively, p=0.008) and non-branching nerves (20.6% vs. 14.4%, respectively). Conclusion: Extralaryngeal branching of RLN is not rare and mostly divided into two branches. Branching ratio is higher in females than males. In branching nerves, rate of crossing anterior to and between branches of ITA was higher, in non-branching nerves, rate of crossing posterior to ITA was higher. In branching nerves, possibility of entrapment of RLN at the region of BL was higher. Both in branching and non-branching nerves, entrapment of RLN at the region of BL was higher at the right side. Extralaryngeal branching, relationship between RLN and ITA, and entrapment of RLN at the region of BL are frequently seen and variable anatomic variations and cannot be foreseen preoperatively. Most of the extralaryngeal branches and their relationship with other variations can be detected by finding RLN at the level of ITA and following RLN until its entry point to the larynx.
The Value of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Measurement in Assessment and Follow Up of Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Background: It is widely accepted that multiple sclerosis effect on white matter extends beyond the demyelinating plaques and that the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement can offer an insight on the effect of multiple sclerosis on normal appearing white matter. Objective: The aim of the current work was to evaluate the role of ADC in assessment and follow up of multiple sclerosis patients. Patients and Methods: This retrospective study included a total of 20 healthy volunteers and 50 multiple sclerosis patients in different clinical subtypes, referred from Neurology Department and Outpatient Clinics, and conducted at Department of Radiodiagnosis, Ain Shams University Hospital. A follow up Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with ADC measurement was done every 6 months for 3 years. Results: There was significant difference in the ADC of the normal appearing white matter of normal individuals and multiple sclerosis patients (P<0.0001). There was also significant difference in ADC measurement of plaques between relapsing remittent and chronic progressive cases (P<0.0001). The cutoff point in differentiating normal from multiple sclerosis patients was 0.8 ×10−3mm2/sec with sensitivity 93.7%, specifity94.3% and accuracy 85%. The cutoff point in differentiating relapsing remittent cases from progressive cases was 1.3 ×10−3mm2/sec with sensitivity 89.3%, specificity 85% and accuracy 80%. Conclusion: It could be concluded that routine measurement of the ADC value of the normal appearing white matter and multiple sclerosis plaques can help in assessment of the clinical subtype and shows high correlation with the degree of the disease progression.
Spectrophotometric determination of trimethoprim using 2,4-dinitro-1-fluorobenzene reagent

A simple spectrophotometric method for the determination of trimethoprim (TMP) in pure form and in its pharmaceutical formulation has been described. The method is based on the reaction of TMP with 2,4-dinitro-1-fluorobenzene reagent (DNFB) in acetone medium to give a highly rosy red colored product with maximum absorption at 538 nm with a molar ratio of 1:1. Beer's law is obeyed in the range 10-75 μg/ml with molar absorptivity of 1.917x10 3 l.mol -1 . cm -1 and Sandell's sensitivity Spectrophotometric determination of trimethoprim using 2,4-dinitro-1. 2 of 0.1514 μg/cm 2 . Precision (RSD) better than 1.7 % and accuracy (average recovery %) is 100.76 %. The suggested method has been applied to dosage forms as tablets and compared with the pharmacopoeial method, t-test is evaluated and found 1.828 at 95% confidence limit. The results show that there is no interference are present in commercial dosage forms.
The Impact of Implementing the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme on Students' Self-efficacy Beliefs

The holistic approach of the International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes encourages students to become active, compassionate and life-long learners. The IB defines its international education programmes through a learner profile that consists of ten attributes; inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced, and reflective [33]. For students to reach all IB learners profile attributes they need to be self-regulated learners [36]. Students' self-efficacy beliefs are one of the components of self-regulated learning [15], and a key component of social cognitive theory [4]. Self-efficacy beliefs also contribute to students' academic achievements, motivations and learning [41]. The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is the IB curriculum framework for children aged 3-11 that offers an inquiry-based, transdisciplinary curriculum framework building conceptual understandings. By learning through inquiry PYP students use their initiatives and take responsibility for their own learning [33]. This approach in learning claims to build students' self-efficacy that contributes to self-regulation [36]. The paper presents an inductive qualitative study capturing the impact of implementing the IB PYP on students' self-efficacy beliefs. The study was conducted in an IBPYP candidate school in Alexandria (second largest city in Egypt), which had been implementing the PYP for two years. Data was collected through four focus group discussions from different stakeholders; leaders, teachers, students and parents. The study findings revealed the perspectives of the different stakeholders about the reasons behind students' self-efficacy beliefs. The study resulted in an interpretation of a spiral for the different aspects of PYP pedagogy that relate and integrate to support students' self-efficacy beliefs. The study resulted also in identifying specific aspects in school culture that support students' self-efficacy beliefs. The findings of the study will be beneficial to teachers, leaders and policy makers in IBPYP schools. Beneficial for the students, teachers, policy makers and syllabus designers.
