Thanks for coming in, Ms. Wilson: A qualitative case study of simulated school counseling encounters

ABSTRACT This manuscript reports qualitative case study research with 10 school-counselors-in-training (SCITs). Using a single-case approach, researchers explored SCITs’ professional identity development through the implementation of an andragogical intervention using two simulated counseling encounters as part of a school counseling course. The results of this study produced an understanding of 10 SCITs’ evolving professional identity, counseling skills, and actions. Implications for school counselor training, counselor educators’ andragogy, research, and future simulations are discussed.
In-situ observation of stacking fault evolution in vacuum-deposited C60

We report an in-situ study of stacking fault evolution in C60 thin films using grazing-incidence x-ray scattering. A Williamson-Hall analysis of the main scattering features during growth of a 15 nm film on glass indicates lattice strain as high as 6% in the first 5 nm of the film, with a decrease to 2% beyond 8 nm thickness. Deformation stacking faults along the {220} plane are found to occur with 68% probability and closely linked to the formation of a nanocrystalline powder-like film. Our findings, which capture monolayer-resolution growth, are consistent with previous work on crystalline and powder C60 films, and provide a crystallographic context for the real-time study of organic semiconductor thin films.We report an in-situ study of stacking fault evolution in C60 thin films using grazing-incidence x-ray scattering.

Multimodal Transformer of Incomplete MRI Data for Brain Tumor Segmentation

Accurate segmentation of brain tumors plays an important role for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide rich and complementary information for accurate brain tumor segmentation. However, some modalities may be absent in clinical practice. It is still challenging to integrate the incomplete multimodal MRI data for more accurate segmentation of brain tumors. In this article, we propose a brain tumor segmentation method based on multimodal transformer network with incomplete multimodal MRI data. The network is based on U-Net architecture consisting of modality specific encoders, multimodal transformer and multimodal shared-weight decoder. First, a convolutional encoder is built to extract the specific features of each modality. Then, a multimodal transformer is proposed to model the correlations of multimodal features and learn the features of missing modalities. Finally, a multimodal shared-weight decoder is proposed to progressively aggregate the multimodal and multi-level features with spatial and channel self-attention modules for brain tumor segmentation. A missing-full complementary learning strategy is used to explore the latent correlation between the missing and full modalities for feature compensation. For evaluation, our method is tested on the multimodal MRI data from BraTS 2018, BraTS 2019 and BraTS 2020 datasets. The extensive results demonstrate that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods for brain tumor segmentation on most subsets of missing modalities.
Carbon-Aware Operation of Resilient Vertical Farms in Active Distribution Networks

Vertical farming is an emerging sustainable solution to enhance the resilience of the food supply and mitigate the carbon emissions of the agriculture sector amidst population growth, geopolitical risks, and climate change concerns. The proximity of food production to consumers enhances food supply resilience. Besides, the potential to leverage renewable resources to energize Vertical Farms (VF s) paves the way to mitigating their food carbon emissions. At the same time, VF s will introduce new challenges and opportunities within Active Distribution Networks (ADN s). While the electricity demand will increase within the ADN, the flexibility in VF ’s electricity demand provides system operators with demand-side management opportunities. This paper proposes a model to explore the demand of various systems within a VF and their coordination with other assets within the ADN, such as Electric Vehicles (EV s) and photovoltaic (PV) systems. To this end, a framework to procure the optimal operation schedule of VF s under demand and solar generation uncertainties with convexified AC power flow constraints is presented. It is shown that the proposed framework also enhances the dispatchability of renewable Distributed Energy Resources (DER s). The formulated two-stage robust optimization problem is reformulated as a Mixed-Integer Second-Order Cone Programming (MISOCP) problem to be solved by reliable off-the-shelf solvers. It is shown that the demand response of VF s can mitigate the carbon emissions of the electricity and agriculture sectors by up to 70% and decrease the operation cost of the electricity network by 10% for the IEEE-33 bus system compared to utilizing an inflexible schedule for VF s.
Novel Relationship among Spiral Arm Pitch Angles (p) and momentum parameter of the host spiral galaxies

In this study, we have found a novel relationship among spiral arm pitch angles (p) and momentum parameter of the host spiral galaxies. In this study, we measured the momentum parameter for specimen of Spitzer/IRAC 3.6 μm images of 41 spiral galaxies evaluated employing a relation(Mbulge σ*/c)where Mbulge is mass of the bulge and σ* is the stellar velocity dispersion. We have taken velocity dispersions (σ*) from the literature. In order to determine the spiral arm pitch angles. The selection of specimen of nearly face-on spiral galaxies and employ IRAF ellipse to indicate the ellipticity and major-axis position angle so as to deproject the images to face-on, employing 2D Fast Fourier Transform decomposition mehtod. The specified bulge mass (Mbulge) using the virial theorem was include.
Visuomotor noise and the non-factive analysis of knowledge

It is all but universally accepted in epistemology that knowledge is factive: S knows that p only if p. The purpose of this thesis is to present an argument against the factivity of knowledge and in doing so develop a non-factive approach to the analysis of knowledge. The argument against factivity presented here rests largely on empirical evidence, especially extant research into visuomotor noise, which suggests that the beliefs that guide everyday motor action are not strictly true. However, as we still want to attribute knowledge on the basis of successful motor action, I argue that the best option is to replace factivity with a weaker constraint on knowledge, one on which certain false beliefs might still be known. In defence of this point, I develop the non-factive analysis of knowledge, which demonstrates that a non-factive constraint might do the same theoretical work as factivity.
Evaluate the effectiveness of laparoscopic myomectomy without power morcellator

Aim: To describe characteristics of uterine fibroids and evaluate the effectiveness of laparoscopic myomectomy. Methods: Cross-sectional observative study in fifty-two patients underwent laparoscopic myomectomy at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hospital of Hue Medicine and Pharmacy University and Hue Central Hospital from 6/2019 to 6/2021. Inclusion criteria were patients with ≤ 5 fibroids, largest diameter did not exceed 10cm in diameter and no contraindication for laparoscopy. Patients were operated laparoscopically and manually morcellated by vaginal route, without electrical morcellator. Results: Mean age was 42.3 ± 4.2 years old. The most common symptom was abnormal uterine bleeding (42.3%). The mean diameter was 66.8 ± 16.3 mm. The success rate of laparoscopic myomectomy was 98.1%. The mean operation time was 148.66 ± 51.4 min. Diameter ≥ 80mm, multiple fibroids (>5 fibroids) and operation time ≥ 180 min (p < 0.05) were associated factors of significant Hemoglobin drop and prolonged surgery. Conclusions: Laparoscopic myomectomy had high success rate and low complication rate, however appropriate indication and experienced surgeon were necessary.
Clinical Experience of Use of Kampo Medicine Shakuyakukanzoto for Muscle Spasms Caused by Tetanus

Background Tetanus is an infectious disease caused by Clostridium tetani, which produces tetanospasmin. Intensive care using sedatives and muscle relaxants is required for the management of severe tetanus, however, long-term use of those medicines is associated with the occurrence of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). Shakuyakukanzoto (SKT), which is clinically used for the treatment of pain associated with sudden myospasm widely, is one of Kampo medicines, and some studies showed that they are effective in treating muscle spasms caused by tetanus. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of SKT in the management of tetanus patients from the viewpoint of the reduction of sedatives. Methods Patients who were diagnosed with tetanus and were treated in our hospital between January 2006 and December 2022 were included. Patients were divided into two groups, patients treated with SKT and those without SKT, and the background information and clinical courses, especially the reduction of sedatives, were compared between the two groups. Results There were five tetanus patients who were treated with SKT (SKT(+) group) and two tetanus patients without SKT (SKT(-) group), respectively. Intubation and mechanical ventilation were required for the management of generalized seizures in all seven patients, who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The administration of propofol could be discontinued after an average of 8.6 days (range: 3-22 days) from the initiation of SKT administration. The dosage of propofol was lower in patients who received SKT versus those who did not; midazolam and fentanyl exhibited a similar tendency. The mean durations of ICU and hospital stays for patients treated with or without SKT were almost equal (the mean durations of ICU stay in SKT(+) and SKT(-) groups were 22.6 and 24.0 days, and those of hospital stay in SKT(+) and SKT(-) groups were 35.2 and 36.0 days, respectively). All seven patients were discharged and transferred to another hospital for rehabilitation. Conclusions SKT may be useful in the management of myospasms in patients with tetanus. It may also prevent the occurrence of PICU in patients with tetanus who require intensive care by reducing the use of sedatives and analgesics.
Investigations of data-driven closure for subgrid-scale stress in large-eddy simulation

Data-driven machine learning algorithms, random forests and artificial neural network (ANN), are used to establish the subgrid-scale (SGS) model for large-eddy simulation. A total of 30 flow variables are examined as the potential input features. A priori tests indicate that the ANN algorithm provides a better solution for this regression problem. The relative importance of the input variables is evaluated by the two algorithms. It reveals that the gradient of filtered velocity and the second derivative of filtered velocity account for a vast majority of the importance. Besides, a pattern is found for the dependence of each component of the SGS stress tensor on the input features. Accordingly, a new uniform ANN model is proposed to provide closure for all the components of the SGS stress, and a correlation coefficient over 0.7 is reached. The proposed new model is tested by large-eddy simulation of isotropic turbulence. By examining the energy budget and the dissipative properties, the ANN model shows good agreement with direct numerical simulation and it provides better predictions than the Smagorinsky model and the dynamic Smagorinsky model. The current research suggests that data-driven algorithms are effective approaches to help us discover knowledge from large amounts of data.
Serum D‐2‐hydroxyglutarate and the ratio of D‐2HG/L‐2HG predict IDH mutation in acute myeloid leukemia

This study investigates whether serum D‐2HG (D‐2‐hydroxyglutarate) produced by the mutated isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) can predict IDH mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) at diagnosis. D‐2HG and L‐2HG are measured by liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry. D‐2HG, total 2HG and the D/L ratio (D‐2HG/L‐2HG) are significantly higher in IDHmutated cases than in IDHwild cases. The optimal cutoff values to predict IDH mutations at 100% sensitivity (specificity 91%–94%) are >588 ng/mL for D‐2HG and >2.33 for the D/L ratio. Our study indicates that elevated serum D‐2HG and the D/L ratio may serve as noninvasive biomarkers of IDH mutation in AML.

Effect of deployment of strategic leadership in the horticulture industry: a case study of selected flower farms in Kenya

The paper reports empirical findings drawn from a study undertaken to understand the dimensions of strategic leadership deployed among flower farms and the benefits that the flower farms have derived from deployment of strategic leadership. The context was selected due to its significance in contributing to the national economy and the level of turbulence experienced by the farms that requires a leadership style entrenching strategic thinking. 43 flower farms were sampled and primary data obtained using a structured questionnaire from CEOs, Deputy CEOs and heads of functional areas. Two dimensions of strategic leadership have been deployed to a low extent while two have been implemented to a moderate extent. The deployed dimensions of strategic leadership have significantly contributed to the flower farms performance by enhancing their capacity to attain growth at the rate of 15-20%. The study concluded that strategic leadership is relevant for deployment by the flower farms and raised implications for its deployment among organizations facing complex and turbulent environments. The paper called on future research to consider expanding the scope of the context of the investigation and conceptualization of the dimensions of strategic leadership based on other relevant theoretical frameworks anchoring strategic leadership.
Tourism students’ entrepreneurial intentions in Vietnam: Integration of educational factors, entrepreneurial personality and innovativeness

Abstract The study investigates the relationship between educational factors (theoretical and empirical training), entrepreneurial personality (need for achievement, locus of control, risk propensity), innovativeness, and the entrepreneurial intentions from 399 students studying in tourism major from universities in Vietnam. The data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation model. The study results suggest that, although educational factors do not directly affect the students’ entrepreneurial intentions, they have an indirect effect mediated via innovativeness. Educational factors also directly impact students’ entrepreneurial personalities and innovativeness, which further impacts their entrepreneurial intentions.
Factors Influencing Oil and Gas Project Delivery in Nigeria: Cost Management Perspective

: Overtime, cost management of construction projects in the Nigeria oil and gas sector has been branded inadequate with critical stakeholders standing aloof from offering requisite expertise to achieve efficiency. Based on pertinent lack of critical literature narrative about the practice of cost management in the oil and gas sector generally and in Nigeria specifically, this study evaluated the issues inhibiting cost management of oil refinery. Using a purposive sample size of 36 construction professionals in the oil and gas sector obtained through snowballing in Rivers state, Nigeria, structured questionnaire was employed to collect data that were analysed using mean item score and Chi-Square. The result revealed that issues dealing with low education, skills, estimating efficiency, non-involvement of core cost management professionals and change in scope as critical issues for affecting the efficiency of cost management in oil refinery construction projects. All the 25 factors evaluated were significant mean item scores (3.01 - 3.94) and the null hypothesis was rejected (p-values < 0.000) to show the consistency of the mean ranking. The study buttresses that inadequate cost management practice in the Nigerian oil and gas sector is due to this range of factors. Recommendations towards improving the state of cost management practice in the sector are directed towards the need to improve the validated barriers as precursors of inefficiencies in the sector.
Magnetic fields on young, solar-type stars

This thesis describes an investigation aimed at using spectropolarimetric observations of the magnetic fields of young solar-type stars to improve the understanding of the early development of solar and stellar dynamos and activity cycles. The emergence of stellar dynamos is important in understanding the evolution of young stars (and activity effects on any attendant emerging planetary systems). Stars were selected on the basis of their rapid rotation and activity. HD 106506, HD 76298, HD 35256, HD 29613 and EK Draconis formed the primary targets. Spectropolarimetric data were obtained with the Anglo-Australian Telescope, the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and the T´elescope Bernard Lyot with supporting broadband photometric data from the Mount Kent Observatory. Reduction and analysis of the data were performed to produce magnetic field detections, spot occupancy and magnetic field maps, differential rotation values, chromospheric flux estimates, starspot light curves and other measurements. Several results were obtained, as follows: (1) A distributed dynamo fundamentally different to the modern Sun’s interface-layer dynamo appears widespread in young solartype stars, with all targets displaying significant surface azimuthal fields consistent with the dynamo operating throughout the convection zone. (2) All stars showed significant enhancement in chromospheric activity that appears to be primarily a function of rapid stellar rotation (3) Multi-epoch observations of the young solar analogue EK Draconis demonstrated a rapidly evolving magnetic field that could not be explained due to differential rotation alone, and hints at the presence of temporal variability due to the rapid evolution from a strongly toroidal magnetic field ( approx 80%) to a more balanced poloidal-toroidal configuration in three months of observations. (4) The differential rotation of HD 29615, with a rotational shear delta omega = 0.58+ 0.14 −0.12 rad d−1 is one of the largest yet observed through x-squared minimisation method, making this star a useful test case for the theory and modelling of dynamos in young solar-type stars.
Effects of a sprint and plyometric warm-up protocol on vertical jump height and power in adolescent fe-male volleyball players. A randomized crossover study

The purpose of this study was to compare the immediate effects of a plyometric warm-up protocol (PWU) and a sprint warm-up protocol (SWU) on jumping performance in female volleyball players aged 14-16 years. Through a cross-over experimental design, 18 female players were randomly divided into two groups, each receiving both warm-up protocols (PWU and SWU). Before and after each protocol, height and jumping power were evaluated in squat jump (SJ), countermovement jump (CMJ), and Abalakov (ABK) tests using the DM jump® contact mat. Both warm-up protocols significantly improved SJ, CMJ, and ABK performance (p<.05), although mainly for jump height. The comparison between both warm-up protocols in the post-test showed no significant differences (p>.05), although the greatest percentage increase in jump height and power was obtained with the SWU. The ANOVA showed significant differences in group 1 (initially assigned to PWU) for all tests except for CMJ and ABK power. In group 2 (initially assigned to SWU), the ANOVA also showed significant differences, except for SJ and CMJ power. It is concluded that both warm-up protocols improve jump height and power; however, SWU shows a more favorable trend than PWU. From a practical perspective, the preliminary findings of this pilot study can provide useful guidelines for the warm-up process; however, further randomized controlled studies with adequate statistical power are required for more robust conclusions.
