Analysis of the concept of nurses’ autonomy in intensive care units: A hybrid model

Abstract Objective: To analyze the concept of autonomy of nurses in Intensive Care Units (ICU). Methods: The hybrid model approach proposed by Schwartz-Barcott and Kim, which includes theoretical, fieldwork and analytical phases, was used for this study. For the theoretical and fieldwork phases, the Graneheim and Lundman stages and the CORE-Q checklist were used, and the results were combined in the final analysis phase. For the theoretical phase, 46 related articles, two instruments and four books were identified after using a search strategy in 7 bibliographic databases in English and one in Persian with the terms MESH: 'nursing', 'autonomy' and 'intensive care'. The information extracted in the theoretical phase served as the basis for the design of the questions used in the semi-structured interviews in the fieldwork phase. Eight nurses with ICU experience working in hospitals affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences (Iran) participated in the fieldwork phase. Results: The antecedents of the concept of nurse autonomy in ICUs were: empowerment of the workforce, organizational platform, and social and individual views of the profession. Its attributes were professionalism and high personal capabilities. Finally, increased personal competencies, promotion of quality of care, improved attitudes towards the profession and professional outcomes were noted as consequences. Conclusion: The autonomy of nurses in the ICU can facilitate their empowerment, which translates into the promotion of their caring behaviours, followed by the improvement of patient outcomes and quality of care.
Higher Plasma Creatinine Is Associated with an Increased Risk of Death in Patients with Non-Metastatic Rectal but Not Colon Cancer: Results from an International Cohort Consortium

Simple Summary Colorectal cancer is increasingly recognized as two separate diseases: colon cancer and rectal cancer, each with its own causes and outcomes. We included 674 patients with colorectal cancer, with pre-surgery collected blood samples, and patient follow up for an average of 4.4 years. Ninety-three patients (14%) died from various causes including 60 patients with colon cancer and 33 patients with rectal cancer. Higher levels of plasma creatinine increased the risk of death by 39% in patients with rectal but not colon cancer. We further identified a biological pathway (e.g., roadmaps inside our bodies that guide various processes) related to starch and sucrose metabolism, which was linked to worse clinical outcomes in colon cancer but not rectal cancer. There is some evidence, that resistant starch, which resists digestion in the small intestine, may offer protection against colon cancer. Understanding the distinct causes and outcomes of colon and rectal cancer is crucial for tailoring effective treatments. In conclusion, personalized treatment strategies should consider colon cancer and rectal cancer separately and are essential for improving patient outcomes in the future. Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasingly recognized as a heterogeneous disease. No studies have prospectively examined associations of blood metabolite concentrations with all-cause mortality in patients with colon and rectal cancer separately. Targeted metabolomics (Biocrates AbsoluteIDQ p180) and pathway analyses (MetaboAnalyst 4.0) were performed on pre-surgery collected plasma from 674 patients with non-metastasized (stage I–III) colon (n = 394) or rectal cancer (n = 283). Metabolomics data and covariate information were received from the international cohort consortium MetaboCCC. Cox proportional hazards models were computed to investigate associations of 148 metabolite levels with all-cause mortality adjusted for age, sex, tumor stage, tumor site (whenever applicable), and cohort; the false discovery rate (FDR) was used to account for multiple testing. A total of 93 patients (14%) were deceased after an average follow-up time of 4.4 years (60 patients with colon cancer and 33 patients with rectal cancer). After FDR adjustment, higher plasma creatinine was associated with a 39% increase in all-cause mortality in patients with rectal cancer. HR: 1.39, 95% CI 1.23–1.72, pFDR = 0.03; but not colon cancer: pFDR = 0.96. Creatinine is a breakdown product of creatine phosphate in muscle and may reflect changes in skeletal muscle mass. The starch and sucrose metabolisms were associated with increased all-cause mortality in colon cancer but not in rectal cancer. Genes in the starch and sucrose metabolism pathways were previously linked to worse clinical outcomes in CRC. In summary, our findings support the hypothesis that colon and rectal cancer have different etiological and clinical outcomes that need to be considered for targeted treatments.

Individual mobility and social behaviour: Two sides of the same coin

According to personality psychology, personality traits determine many aspects of human behaviour. However, validating this insight in large groups has been challenging so far, due to the scarcity of multi-channel data. Here, we focus on the relationship between mobility and social behaviour by analysing two high-resolution longitudinal datasets collecting trajectories and mobile phone interactions of $\sim 1000$ individuals. We show that there is a connection between the way in which individuals explore new resources and exploit known assets in the social and spatial spheres. We point out that different individuals balance the exploration-exploitation trade-off in different ways and we explain part of the variability in the data by the big five personality traits. We find that, in both realms, extraversion correlates with an individual's attitude towards exploration and routine diversity, while neuroticism and openness account for the tendency to evolve routine over long time-scales. We find no evidence for the existence of classes of individuals across the spatio-social domains. Our results bridge the fields of human geography, sociology and personality psychology and can help improve current models of mobility and tie formation.
Container Power Consumption Prediction Based on GBRT-PL for Edge Servers in Smart City

Edge computing and Internet of Things (IoT) devices have been widely deployed in smart city applications due to the rapid promotion and implementation of 5G communication technology. Limited by power supply and hardware computing capability, applications on edge servers are mostly deployed and run in the form of container microservices to improve resource utilization. Therefore, identifying the power consumption at the container granularity is of great importance for the load scheduling and service quality assurance of edge servers. In this article, a gradient boosting piecewise linear regression tree (GBRT-PL)-based container power prediction method is proposed. Performance metrics with a strong correlation between container and server power consumption are selected for power consumption modeling. To effectively suit the nonlinear relationship between container performance metrics and server power consumption, the integrated predictive capabilities of multiple regression trees (RTs) and the segmented linear model of single RT leaf nodes are applied. The data from the experiments prove that the GBRT-PL model predicts power consumption more accurately than other models for single and multiple container groups. The highest average relative error rate in the four multicontainer group tests is 6.72%, whereas the highest relative error rate in the 90% quantile is 11.66%. In addition, it can accurately predict the majority of power consumption peaks, which contributes to the precise detection of power consumption anomalies.
Efficient Computational Tools for Variational Data Assimilation and Information Content Estimation

Adjoint models are powerful tools for estimating the sensitivity of (a function of) a model output with respect to a large number of input parameters. Adjoints are extensively used in receptor-oriented sensitivity analysis studies and for providing gradients in the solution of inverse problems. The construction of an adjoint model is a difficult, labor intensive, and error prone task. This chapter discusses the construction of adjoints for Harvard’s GEOS-Chem global model and for Environmental Protection Agency’s regional CMAQ regional air quality model. Such models describe the evolution of the chemical composition of the atmosphere due to natural and anthropogenic factors. Chemical transport models account for a variety of interacting physical processes like emissions, deposition, transport, gas and liquid phase chemistry, particulate processes, radiation effects, etc. Adjoints for individual science processes are developed using a combination of multiple approaches: symbolic preprocessing, analytic derivation of adjoint equations, hand coding, and automatic differentiation. The developed adjoints are validated extensively against finite-differences on an individual process basis as well as for the full model. The adjoint model performance is improved through parallelization, and through a balanced combination of checkpoints and recalculations. The adjoint framework developed here is already in use by the GEOS-Chem and the CMAQ communities to perform sensitivity analysis and data assimilation for improved initial tracer concentrations, boundary conditions, and emission sources.

Isomorphisms amongst certain classes of cyclically presented groups

In this thesis we consider isomorphisms amongst certain classes of cyclically presented groups. We give isomorphism theorems for two families of cyclically presented groups, the groups G_n(h, k, p, q,r,s, l), and the groups G^e_n(m, k, h), which were introduced by Cavicchioli, Repovs and Spaggiari. These families contain many subfamilies of cyclically presented groups, we have results for two of them, the groups G_n(m, k), which were introduced by Johnson and Mawdesley, and the groups Γ_n(k, l), which were introduced by Cavicchioli, Repovs and Spaggiari. The abelianization of the Fibonacci groups F(2, n) was proved by Lyndon to be finite and its order can be expressed in terms of the Lucas numbers. Bardakov and Vesnin have asked if there is a formula for the order of the abelianization of G_n(m, k) groups that can be expressed in terms of Fibonacci numbers. We produce formulas that compute the order of G_{pm}(x_0x_mx^{±1}_k)^{ab} , G_{pk}(x_0x_mx^{±1}_k)^ab for certain values of p where m, k are coprime, and for the groups Γ_n(1,n/2− 1)^{ab} (this formula is given in terms of Lucas numbers). The values of the number of non-isomorphic G_n(m, k) groups was conjectured by Cavicchioli, O’Brien and Spaggiari for n = p^l, where p is prime and l is a positive integer, we show that these values provide an upper bound for the number of non-isomorphic G_n(m, k) groups. We also give lower bounds and upper bounds for the number of non- isomorphic G_n(m, k) and Γ_n(k, l) groups for certain values of n. Similar to the investigation of the type of isomorphisms of G_n(m, k) groups for n ≤ 27 that was carried by Cavicchioli, O’Brien and Spaggiari, we perform a similar investigation for Γn(k, l) groups for n ≤ 29.
Acrylamide content and quality characteristics of French fries influenced by different frying methods

Background: This study aimed to compare the effects of three different frying methods, namely air frying (AF), microwave frying (MF), and deep frying (DF) in corn oil, on the moisture and texture, as well as the content and absorption of oil, carbohydrates and acrylamide in French fries. Materials and Methods: For the DF, the fresh potatoes were fully dipped in corn oil and the oil temperature was set at 160 °C for three intervals of 3, 5, and 7 minutes. In the MF, the oil was preheated to 180 °C for three time intervals of 160, 180, and 200 seconds. The AF was set at a temperature of 170 °C for three time intervals of 8, 10, and 12 minutes, without adding oil.Results: The results showed that AF resulted in a lower acrylamide content (21.8 ppm) after 8 minutes at 170°C compared to the other frying methods. However, DF in corn oil was preferred in terms of color, flavor, and overall acceptance in the sensory evaluation of the French fries. MF resulted in the hardest French fry texture due to excessive evaporation of moisture.Conclusion: The findings suggest that AF may be a healthier option with a lower acrylamide content, while DF in corn oil may be preferred for its superior sensory characteristics.Keywords: Acrylamide, Air frying, Deep frying, Microwave, Oil absorption, Sensory evaluation.
High-Energy Q-switched Er:ZBLAN Fibre Laser at 2.79 μm

In recent years most research on fibre lasers has been focused on the 1, 1.5, and 2 μm wavelength ranges using rare-earth ions such as Yb, Er, Tm, or Ho in silicate glass hosts. This approach led to remarkably high power and high energy systems. Regarding direct laser sources emitting around 3 μm with comparable performance only few reports can be found in literature. High peak power lasers emitting here have significant potential for applications in medicine because of the strong absorption peak of water containing substances, e.g. biological tissue [1]. Although ZBLAN glass fibres have poor thermal properties there are several benefits for using ZBLAN based mid-IR lasers, e.g. low phonon energy and high transmission up to 3.5 μm.
Temporal-spatial measurement of electron relaxation time in femtosecond laser induced plasma using two-color pump-probe imaging technique

The femtosecond (fs) laser is a powerful tool to study ultrafast plasma dynamics, especially electron relaxation in strong ionization of dielectrics. Herein, temporal-spatial evolution of femtosecond laser induced plasma in fused silica was investigated using a two-color pump-probe technique (i.e., 400 nm and 800 nm, respectively). We demonstrated that when ionized electron density is lower than the critical density, free electron relaxation time is inversely proportional to electron density, which can be explained by the electron-ion scattering regime. In addition, electron density evolution within plasma was analyzed in an early stage (first 800 fs) of the laser-material interaction.
Contrast-Enhanced Imaging in the Management of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: State of Art and Future Perspectives

Simple Summary Contrast imaging techniques play a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management of Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA). There is an increasing interest in the specific imaging features which can predict tumor behavior or histologic subtypes. Abstract Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) represents the second most common liver cancer after hepatocellular carcinoma, accounting for 15% of primary liver neoplasms. Its incidence and mortality rate have been rising during the last years, and total new cases are expected to increase up to 10-fold during the next two or three decades. Considering iCCA’s poor prognosis and rapid spread, early diagnosis is still a crucial issue and can be very challenging due to the heterogeneity of tumor presentation at imaging exams and the need to assess a correct differential diagnosis with other liver lesions. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an irreplaceable role in the evaluation of liver masses. iCCA’s most typical imaging patterns are well-described, but atypical features are not uncommon at both CT and MRI; on the other hand, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has shown a great diagnostic value, with the interesting advantage of lower costs and no renal toxicity, but there is still no agreement regarding the most accurate contrastographic patterns for iCCA detection. Besides diagnostic accuracy, all these imaging techniques play a pivotal role in the choice of the therapeutic approach and eligibility for surgery, and there is an increasing interest in the specific imaging features which can predict tumor behavior or histologic subtypes. Further prognostic information may also be provided by the extraction of quantitative data through radiomic analysis, creating prognostic multi-parametric models, including clinical and serological parameters. In this review, we aim to summarize the role of contrast-enhanced imaging in the diagnosis and management of iCCA, from the actual issues in the differential diagnosis of liver masses to the newest prognostic implications.
HERPETOFAUNA OF THE CHASCHOC LAGOON WETLANDS, TABASCO, MEXICO

This study apports new information on the diversity of amphibians and reptiles in a freshwater wetland of Tabasco. From January to December 2014, monthly samplings were conducted in the Chaschoc lagoon wetlands to establish a checklist of amphibians and reptiles for this site and to detect potential threats to their conservation. Diurnal and nocturnal surveys were conducted in terrestrial habitats, while surveys were conducted in water bodies for turtles and crocodiles. Fifty-five species were detected (12 amphibians, and 43 reptiles), representing 32.4% of the species recorded for Tabasco. Species accumulation models resulted in percentages of inventory completeness above 92 %. Most of the species do not appear in IUCN Red List of threatened species, appendices of CITES, or the list of threatened species of the Official Mexican Norm NOM-59-SEMARNAT-2010. Main threats detected for the herpetofauna were cattle ranching, illegal hunting and collecting, destruction, fragmentation and pollution of the habitat, and intentional fires. We also detected three non-native invasive species of reptiles.
BPS boojums in ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories II

We study 1/4 Bogomol’nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) composite solitons of vortex strings, domain walls and boojums in N = 2 supersymmetric Abelian gauge theories in four dimensions. We obtain solutions to the 1/4 BPS equations with the finite gauge coupling constant. To obtain numerical solutions for generic coupling constants, we construct globally correct approximate functions which allow us to easily find fixed points of gradient flow equations. We analytically/numerically confirm that the negative mass of a single boojum appearing at the endpoint of the vortex string on the logarithmically bent domain wall is equal to the half-mass of the ’t Hooft-Polyakov monopole. We examine various configurations and clarify how the shape of the boojum depends on the coupling constants and moduli parameters. We also find analytic solutions to the 1/4 BPS equations for specific values of the coupling constants. ar X iv :1 60 3. 00 44 7v 2 [ he pth ] 2 9 N ov 2 01 6
