Study Protocol for Draup: De-implementation Ofroutine Chest Radiographs After Adoption of Ultrasound Guided Insertion and Confirmation of Central Venous Catheter Protocol, A Hybrid Implementation/effectiveness Study

BACKGROUNDAvoiding low value medical practices is an important focus in current healthcare utilization. Despite advantages of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) over chest x-ray (CXR), including improved workflow and timeliness of results, POCUS-guided central venous catheter (CVC) position confirmation and exclusion of pneumothorax (PCEP) has had slow rate of adoption. This demonstrates a gap that is ripe for the development and application of de-implementation strategies that support substitution of POCUS for CXR after CVC insertion.METHODSDe-implementation of routine chest radiographs after adoption of ultrasound guided insertion and confirmation of central venous catheter protocol (DRAUP) will be created to de-implement an unnecessary imaging modality in the critical care environment. Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research constructs, we will explore barriers and facilitators of POCUS for CVC PCEP in a single center, large tertiary, academic hospital via focus groups. The focus groups will inform the development and testing of strategies that address identified determinants of implementation and de-implementation.Operational use of the de-implementation strategies will be conceptualized using Morgan’s framework for understanding and reducing medical overuse. We will locally implement these strategies and assess them using Proctor’s outcomes (adoption, de-adoption, fidelity and penetration) in an observational study to demonstrate proof of concept, gaining valuable insights on our selected implementation and de-implementation strategies. Secondary outcomes will include POCUS-guided CVC PCEP efficacy measured by time and effectiveness measured by sensitivity and specificity of POCUS detection.DISCUSSIONWith limited data available to inform interventions that use concurrent implementation and de-implementation strategies to substitute CXR for POCUS using DRAUP, we propose that this primary implementation and secondary effectiveness pilot study will provide novel data that would expand the knowledge of replacing low value or unnecessary care in critically ill patients.

Effects of visible light radiation on macrophyte litter degradation and nutrient release in water samples from a eutrophic shallow lake

ABSTRACT Visible light is a major fraction of the solar spectrum; however, information on visible light radiation of macrophyte detritus is lacking. In this study, we conducted a microcosm experiment to assess the effects of visible light radiation on degradation of two litter species: Potamogeton malaianus (P. malaianus) and Phragmites australis (Ph. australis). This research represents an investigation of mass loss, microbial activity and nutrients released over a period of 168 days. Overall, we found that visible light radiation had significant effects on litter decomposition, but it did not affect the microbial activities which degrade cellulose and lignin. The decomposition rate order of the three components in P. malaianus and Ph. australis in treatments was: cellulose > hemicellulose > lignin. The visible light radiation mainly affected the degradation of lignin, which is the primary compound in litter susceptible to photodegradation. The exposure to visible light radiation up to 17.6 Wm−2 stimulated the dissolved organic carbon release and reduced the molecular weight to less reactive. Meanwhile, no obvious difference in nutrient contents (TP, TN, NO3–N, NO2–N, and NH3–N) was observed among different visible light intensities. The results of this study contribute to better understanding of the photochemical behaviour of macrophyte litter in shallow lakes.
Introduction: Engaged Anthropology vis-à-vis Michael Burawoy’s Public Sociology — A View from Poland

Engaged anthropology is analyzed in this text as part of the engaged social sciences. The author uses Michael Burawoy’s concept of public sociology and Thomas Hylland Eriksen’s concept of public anthropology to organize the anthropological field and distinguish four types of anthropology: academic; critical; applied; and public and engaged. Public anthropology is understood here as the participation of anthropologists in public debate while engaged (in the strict sense of the term) on behalf of a community under study. This introduction to Engaged Anthropology in a Time of Growing Nationalism [Antropologia zaangazowana w czasie nacjonalistycznego wzmozenia; Kultura i Spoleczenstwo 2020, no. 2] presents the main issues of the volume’s papers on the theoretical and practical problems of engaged anthropology as seen from Poland.
MHD flow of a Newtonian fluid through a porous medium in an asymmetric channel with peristalsis

In this paper, we studied the peristaltic motion of a viscous conducting fluid through a porous medium in an asymmetric channel by using Lubrication approach. The expressions for velocity and pressure gradient are obtained analytically. The effects of Darcy number, phase shift and Hartmann number on flow characteristics are discussed in detail. Even though Peristalsis existed very well in physiology; its relevance came about mainly through the works of Kill (7) and Boyarsky (3). Later several mathematical and experimental models have been developed to understand the fluid mechanical aspects of peristaltic motion. The mathematical models obtained by a train of periodic sinusoidal waves in an infinitely long two-dimensional symmetric channel or axisymmetric tubes containing a Newtonian or non - Newtonian fluid have been investigated by Shapiro et al. (10), Fung and Yih (6), Yin and Fung (13), Shukla and Gupta (11) Srivastava and Srivastava (12), and many others. During the last decades, extensive literature is available on the MHD flows of biological fluids. Such flows have numerous applications in bioengineering and medical sciences. Specifically, magnetic wound or cancer tumor treatment causing magnetic hyperthermia, bleeding reduction during surgeries, and targeted transport of drugs using magnetic particles as drug carriers are few such examples. In fact, a biomagnetic fluid exists in a living creature and its flow is affected through a magnetic field. Blood is a biomagnetic fluid. It behaves as a magnetic fluid, due to the complex interaction of the intercellular protein, cell membrane, and the hemoglobin. It is also known that blood possess the property of diamagnetic material when oxygenated and paramagnetic when deoxygenated. Agrawal and Anwarddin (2) have investigated peristaltic flow of a blood in a channel under the effect of magnetic field. Flow through a porous medium has been of considerable interest in recent years particularly among geophysical fluid dynamists. Examples of natural porous media are beach sand, sandstone, limestone, rye bread, wood, the human lung, bile duct, gall bladder with stones and in small blood vessels. The first study of peristaltic flow through a porous medium is

Impact of negative energy balance on transcriptomic profiles of three endometrial cell types isolated by laser capture microdissection in postpartum dairy cows

Background: In postpartum dairy cows, the energy needs to satisfy high milk production induces a more or less pronounced Negative Energy Balance (NEB) status. NEB associated with fat mobilization impairs reproductive function. This study investigated the specific impact of NEB on gene expression in the three main types of endometrial cells at time planned for insemination and implantation. Endometrial cell types (stromal, glandular and luminal epithelial cells) were isolated by laser micro-dissection allowing the study of constitutive gene expression and their specific response to NEB. Methods: Nine Swedish Red cows receiving a control diet or a mild restricted diet to induce differences of energy balance were categorized into mild (MNEB, n = 5) and severe negative energy balance (SNEB, n = 4). The three endometrial cell types: luminal (LE), glandular (GE) epithelium and stroma (ST) were collected by laser microdissection from endometrial biopsies performed at 80 days postpartum. Results: Transcriptome profiles obtained by RNA sequencing revealed differences in constitutive gene expression between the three cells types and also differences in specific responses related to the severity of NEB. Number of differentially expressed genes between SNEB and MNEB cows was higher in ST than in LE and GE, respectively. SNEB was associated with differential expression of genes related to metabolic processes and embryo-maternal interactions in ST. Under-expression of genes related to cell structure was found in GE whereas genes related to pro-inflammatory pathways were over-expressed. Genes associated to adaptive immunity were under-expressed in LE. Conclusion: The three different main cells types of the endometrium, have very different patterns of gene expression. The severity of NEB after calving is associated with changes in gene expression at time of breeding. Specific alterations in GEs are associated with activation of pro-inflammatory mechanisms. Concomitantly, changes in the expression of genes related to cell to cell interactions and maternal recognition of pregnancy takes place in ST. The combination of these effects possibly altering the uterine environment and embryo maternal interactions may negatively influence the establishment of pregnancy.
Separation Enhancement of Mechanical Filters by Adding Negative Air Ions

The purpose of this work is to combine negative air ions (NAIs) and mechanical filters for removal of indoor suspended particulates. Various factors, including aerosol size (0.05-0.45 I¼m), face velocity (10 and 20 cm/s), species of aerosol (potassium chloride and dioctyl phthalate), relative humidity (30% and 70%), and concentrations of NAIs (2 Â´ 10 4 , 1 Â´ 10 5 , and 2 Â´ 10 5 NAIs/cm 3 ) were considered to evaluate their effects on the aerosol collection characteristics of filters. Results show that the aerosol penetration through the mechanical filter is higher than that through the mechanical filters cooperated with NAIs. This finding implies that the aerosol removal efficiency of mechanical filters can be improved by NAIs. Furthermore, the aerosol penetration through the mechanical filters increased with the aerosol size when NAIs were added. That is due to that the aerosol is easier to be charged when its size gets larger. The results also indicate the aerosol penetration decreased with the NAIs concentration increased. Reversely, aerosol penetration through the mechanical filters increased with the face velocity under the influence of NAIs. The aerosol penetration through the filter with NAIs was no affected with relative humidity. Finally, The penetration through the filter with NAIs against solid aerosol was lower than that against liquid aerosol.
DETERMINANTS OF ECO-CONSCIOUS CONSUMEN BEHAVIOR OF MUSLIMS IN INDONESIA USING THE THEORY OF PLANNED BEHAVIOR

Manuscript paper Research Aims: This study aims to analyze the determinants of eco-conscious behavior of Indonesian Muslim consumers by using the Theory of Planned Behavior, with the incorporation of several additional variables namely intrinsic religious orientation, green trust, and environmental concern. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis used for this research is Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS software. Research Findings: The results show that intrinsic religious orientation influences the eco-conscious behavior of Indonesian Muslims directly and indirectly through attitude toward green products. Furthermore, environmental concern influences the eco-conscious behavior of Indonesian Muslims directly and indirectly through subjective norm and perceived behavioral control as mediators. Meanwhile, green trust does not directly influence the eco-conscious behavior of Indonesian Muslims. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: as a literature related to the theory of planned behavior that correlates religious and marketing factors to a person's eco-conscious behavior. Practitioner/Policy Implication: Analyzing the factors that influence attitudes and behavior related to environmental awareness will make consumers more understand existing environmental problems. Furthermore, the results of this study may be useful for green marketers in shaping marketing policies and strategies. Research limitation/Implications: There are supporting variables to analyze attitudes and behaviors that explain pro-environment in previous studies but have not been included in this study. Then, more elaborated moderating effects shaped by intrinsic religious orientation is needed.
Prototype models for the MOIRA computerised system

The main aim of the present report is to describe selected models and the principles of the Decision Analysis theory that will be applied to develop the model-based computerised system `MOIRA`. A dose model and a model for predicting radiocaesium migration in lakes and the effects of countermeasures to reduce the contamination levels in the components of lacustrine system are described in detail. The principles for developing prototype models for predicting the migration of {sup 90}Sr in lake abiotic and biotic components are discussed. The environmental models described in the report are based on the use of `collective parameters` which due to mutual compensation effects of different phenomena occurring in complex systems, show low variability when the environmental conditions change. Use of such `collective parameters` not only increases the predictive power of the models, but also increases the practical applicability of the model. Among the main results described in the report, the development of an objective hierarchy table for evaluating the effectiveness of a countermeasure when the economic, social and ecological impacts are accounted for, deserves special attention.
Comparison and Clinical Characteristics of COVID-19 in Different Time Period in Wuhan, China

Background SARS-CoV-2 is making deadly impact on the human lives all over the world. Therefore, we aimed to analyze the changes involved in clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients over time. Methods We conducted a retrospective study to compare the patients whose onset of illness in January with the patients whose onset of illness in February in Wuhan, China.Results Among enrolled 896 patients, the median age was 60 years (47-69 years), 685 (76.5%) were categorized into group A (patients with illness onset in January), and 211 (23.5%) were categorized into group B (patients with illness onset in February). Compared with group B, group A had a higher rate of fever (p<0.001), the lower rate of asymptomatic (p<0.001). Group A had a higher incidence of neutrophilia (p=0.043), elevated D-miner (p<0.001), increased LDH (p=0.002), but lower incidence of normal CT scan (p=0.001). CD3 cells (p=0.015) and CD4 cells p=0.04) count significantly reduced in group A. Critical patients decreased (p=0.005) and mild patients increased (p=0.001) in group B. The fatality rate significantly decreased in group B (p=0.028). Conclusions The condition of patients with onset of illness in January were more serious than patients with onset of illness in February. It indicates that virulence showed reducing effect, but more basic research is required to support the hypothesis.
Spindle‐Type Conjugated Compounds Containing Twistacene Unit: Synthesis and Ultrafast Broadband Reverse Saturable Absorption

© 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim wileyonlinelibrary.com (1 of 7) 1600712 most organic optical limiting materials. To overcome this difficulty, we considered the opposite strategy, that is, suppressing the ISC process and letting a singlet state play the role in the ESA. According to this strategy, the novel TP-ESA materials considered for ultrafast broadband optical limiting need to combine three properties: a long-lived singlet state, broadband ESA, and enhanced TPA. Following this strategy, we focused our research on fluorescence emitting organic π-conjugated molecules, as they tend to suppress ISC in fluorescence applications while π-conjugation is an effective way to enhance TPA with minor changes in the ESA spectrum. To the best of our knowledge, broadband optical limiting based on singlet state TP-ESA that responds to laser pulses in the range of femtoseconds to nanoseconds has rarely been reported. Acene and its derivatives have been the subject of extensive investigations in recent years owing to their wide application possibilities in organic electronics, including organic solar cells, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs), and field-effect transistors (FETs). [10] As predicted, large acenes tend to suffer from some disadvantages, such as tedious separation, ease of oxidation, and dimerization. Thus the large acene skeleton has been decorated with different substituents on the periphery. When pyrene/phenanthrene was introduced into the acene at the terminal ends, the as-formed twisted acenes presented fascinating properties that could be utilized for active layers in electroluminescent devices. [11] In addition, these molecules also displayed intriguing third-order nonlinear absorption effects. [12] Herein, we are more interested in the design and synthesis of spindle-type compounds containing a twistacene unit and investing their potential applications as nonlinear optical materials. Thus, four novel π-conjugated molecules (DBPy, DPyE, DPyA, and DPDA) were prepared that link through ethylene or ethyne bridges (Scheme 1). According to our design strategy, the obtained spindle-type molecules DPyE, DpyA, and DPDA (with extended π-conjugation) could be beneficial for enhancing TPA and TP-ESA. The optical limiting material we report covers a whole spectrum ranging from the visible wavelengths to the near infrared, while a high transparency is maintained throughout the whole spectral region. Z-scan experiments were conducted with femtosecond, picosecond, and nanosecond laser pulses to validate the capability of optical limiting in different time regions. The synthesis of compounds DPyE and DPDA are depicted in Scheme 2. Note that molecules DBPy, DPyA, 1, and 2 were prepared according to the published method in our lab.

The effect of ethanol combustion on HCCI engine performance and emissions

ARTICLE INFO Ethanol as a renewable and alternative fuel when utilized in homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) has potential to substantially reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particle matter (PM) and can maintain HCCI sustainability. HCCI engine operation is limited between two ringing and misfire regions that too retard and advance combustion phasing highly affect HCCI engine operation, performance and emissions. In this study, a modified 0.3 liter single-cylinder direct-injection diesel engine has used with a fuel port injection system. A study has done on effect of ethanol combustion on engine performance and emission by varying incoming air temperature and fuel/air mixture which focused on the zones near ringing and misfire regions. The results indicate that too retarding combustion phasing makes HCCI combustion unstable that affects combustion temperature lower than normal combustion which result in reducing indicated mean effective pressure and producing higher hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions and too advancing combustion phasing generates high peak pressure rise rate with rapid combustion and reduces IMEP but amount of CO and HC is lower in this situation. © Iranian Society of Engine (ISE), all rights reserved.

Acquisition of databases for facial analysis

This article describes guidelines and recommendations for acquisition of databases for facial analysis. New devices and methods for both face recognition and facial expression recognition are constantly developed. In order to evaluate these devices and methods, dedicated datasets are recorded. Acquisition of a database for facial analysis is not an easy task and requires taking into account multiple issues. Based on our experience with recording databases for facial expression recognition, we provide guidelines regarding the acquisition process. Multiple aspects of such process are discussed in this work, namely selection of sensors and data streams, design and structure of the database, technical aspects, acquisition conditions and design of the user interface. Recommendations how to address these aspects are provided and justified. An acquisition software, designed according to these guidelines, is also discussed. The software was used for recording an extended version of our previous facial expression recognition database and proved to both ensure correct data and be convenient for the recorded subjects.
Mesoporous C, N-codoped TiO2 hybrid shells with enhanced visible light photocatalytic performance

Mesoporous C, N-codoped TiO2 (C/N-TiO2) hybrid shells incorporated with graphite carbon were synthesized using polystyrene spheres as templates, followed by polyaniline (PANI) and TiO2 coating, and then post-treatments of etching and calcination, where PANI functioned as both C and N doping sources and supplied the graphite carbon. Compared with pure TiO2 and C-doped TiO2 (C-TiO2) hybrid shells, C/N-TiO2 hybrid shells exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity in the degradation of organic dyes and H2 production under visible light irradiation, which could be attributed to the enhanced visible light absorption and charge separation efficiency associated with the codoped-C and N and the presence of graphite carbon. It is believed that the strategy presented here will provide a promising route for the construction of other C/N-semiconductor hybrid shells for broader applications.
