Effect of Nurse’s Characteristics on Their Willingness to Involve Patients in the Care Process in Hospitals in Tehran, Iran

Introduction: Patient involvement in the care process is a widespread concept, which is considered an important issue to improve the quality of healthcare. This study aimed at assessing the effect of nurses’ characteristics on their willingness to involve patients in the care process in hospitals in Tehran, Iran. Materials and Methods: This study utilized the patient participation culture tool for healthcare workers to measure patient participation behavior. The cross-sectional data were collected from randomly selected nurses who were working in 11 hospitals affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using a linear mixed model to analyze the differences among the nurses’ characteristics. Moreover, the data were adjusted by the random effects of differences between hospitals and wards. A P-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: In total, 220 nurses from 18 wards participated in this study. The results showed that male nurses had a higher tendency to answer challenging questions (β=1.4; P=0.04), and younger nurses had significantly lower perceptions on coping with notifying questions asked by the patients (β=-1.7; P=0.02). In addition, nurses with Bachelor's degrees felt more support (β=2.8; P=0.02) and were more engaged in information sharing and dialogue (β=5.0; P=0.03). Furthermore, the full-time employed nurses perceived a lower lack of time (β=-1.2; P=0.002), compared to part-time peers. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the features and characteristics of the nurses might have an essential influence on patient involvement. Therefore, attention must be paid to these factors to overcome problems and obstacles that are encountered on the way of achieving effective patient involvement.

The reconstitution of formulated enteral formulae with warm water revealed a reconstitution time varying from 5 to 6 minutes. Further the reconstituted formula feed on passage through Ryles tube showed superior flow rate in formulae prepared with 20 per cent solid concentration (W/V). Conclusion: The developed enteral formulae had excellent functional characteristics and reconstitution behavior indicating quality product suitable for enteral feeding.
Monitoring Academic Performance Based on Learning Analytics and Ontology: A Systematic Review

This paper presents a systematic literature review of the coordinated use of Learning Analytics and Computational Ontologies to support educators in the process of academic performance evaluation of students. The aim is to provide a general overview for researchers about the current state of this relationship between Learning Analytics and Ontologies, and how they have been applied in a coordinated way. We selected 31 of a total of 1230 studies related to the research questions. The retrieved studies were analyzed from two perspectives: first, we analyzed the approaches where researchers used Learning Analytics and Ontologies in a coordinated way to describe some Taxonomy of Educational Objectives; In the second perspective, we seek to identify which models or methods have been used as an analytical tool for educational data. The results of this review suggest that: 1) few studies consider that student interactions in the Learning Management System can represent students’ learning experiences; 2) most studies use ontologies in the context of learning object assessment to enable learning sequencing; 3) we did not identify methods of evaluation of academic performance guided by Taxonomies of Educational Objectives; and 4) no studies were identified that report the coordinated use of Learning Analytics and Computational Ontologies, in the context of academic performance monitoring. Thus, we identify future directions of research such as the proposal of a new model of evaluation of academic performance.
Review on Pollutants from the Solid Biomass Combustion

This review considers the pollutants formed by the combustion of solid biomass fuels. The availability and potential use of solid biomass fuels is discussed. This is followed by the methods used for characterisation of biomass and their classification. The various steps in the combustion mechanisms are given together with a compilation of the kinetic data. The chemical mechanisms for the formation of the pollutants: NOx, smoke and unburned hydrocarbons, SOx, Cl compounds, and particulate metal aerosols are outlined. Examples are given of emission levels of NOx and particulates from combustion in fixed bed combustion, fluidised bed combustion and pulverised biomass combustion and co-firing. Modelling methods for pollutants are outlined. The consequential issues arising from the wide scale use of biomass and future trends are then discussed.

(Inverse) Optimal Control for Matching Higher-Order Moments

—Deﬁning the cost function for optimal control manually is often cumbersome. Instead it is often easier to demonstrate the desired behavior and learn the cost function using inverse optimal control. When aiming to match distributions over features, state of the art methods for inverse optimal control often suffer dramatically as they are not designed for matching higher order moments. We therefore present a new approach for inverse optimal control that is tailored for matching distributions by minimizing the relative entropy to a distribution over features. This distribution could be either estimated based on expert demonstrations for inverse optimal control, or deﬁned manually for optimal control.
Talent Selection and the Present? The Way Sports Preconditions Are Determined in Slovakia

Talent selection includes a variety of issues that may be classified into several domains following one another (talent determination, talent searching, talent selection, and so forth). One of the most important domains is the determination of sports preconditions – talent (particularly from the viewpoint of assessment and prognosis). The assessment of sports preconditions is based on four domains: somatic parameters, manipulative skills, decision making, and conditioning. The example of the Slovak Republic is presented to demonstrate how sports preconditions are assessed in 6-year-old children. In the pilot study data were collected from 1,669 children (boys: n = 880; girls: n = 789) who performed 12 physical fitness tests. The children attended three types of school: schools with large numbers of students, schools with medium numbers of students, and schools with small number of students, respectively. Data collected from children who were from eight Slovak regions were compared by gender and region in particular physical fitness tests using the contingency tables
Efficacy of acupuncture for tinnitus: an umbrella review

Tinnitus is usually defined as an “auditory phantom sensation (ringing of the ears) experienced when no external sound is present” (1), which is frequently associated with hearing impairment (2). In particular, it is possible to distinguish objective and subjective tinnitus, the former indicating an abnormal and annoying perception of a real sound produced by blood flowing into cerebro-cervical vessels or by contractions of head and neck muscles, whereas the latter describing the false perception of a sound Original Article
Dharma and Karma in Open Universities: A Commentary on the Work of V. S. Prasad

Prasad’s (2018) identification of the disconnect between the social purposes that open universities proclaim and how well they fulfil them is a helpful lens through which to examine the current state of open universities. The successful approaches developed by the UK Open University in the late 1960s stimulated the creation of open universities the world over. These institutions expected to become the crest of a new wave of higher education. Some have indeed done well, but some have failed to take off, while others are experiencing difficulties after many years of successful operation. What are the implications of Prasad’s analysis as they update themselves for a new era?
Possible Impact of Select Trace Mineral Deficiency in HIV Seropositive Pregnant Women with/without Malaria Co-infection in NAUTH, Nnewi, Nigeria

Aims: To evaluate the impact of HIV and malaria on serum Zinc (zn), Selenium (se) and Magnesium (mg) in HIV seropositive pregnant women in Nnewi, Nigeria. Study Design: This is a case-control study. Place and Duration of Study: Prevention of Mother to Child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV Clinic of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, (NAUTH), Nigeria, between December, 2017 and April, 2018. Original Research Article Chukwuagwu et al.; ARRB, 35(5): 53-62, 2020; Article no.ARRB. 57305 54 Methodology: We included 122 consented female participants; 32 HIV seropositive pregnant women with malaria parasitaemia, 30 HIV seropositive pregnant women without malaria parasitaemia, 30 Malaria infected pregnant women, 30 pregnant women without HIV or malaria parasitaemia, aged between 18 and 42 years. Screening for HIV antibodies and malaria parasite was double screened using National algorithm, rapid detection technique (RDT) and Giemsa staining microscopy technique respectively. Micronutrient levels were determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). Results: When the mean zn, sel and mg levels were compared between the test and control groups, significant decreases in serum zn (37.34 ± 6.7, 36.70 ± 4.39), sel (29.93 ± 6.02, 28.00 ± 5.04) and mg (2.41 ± 0.46, 2.33 ± 0.14) were observed in HIV seropositive pregnant participants with/without malaria co-infection when compared with their corresponding controls Zn (45.1 ± 7.83, 50.36 ± 8.73); Sel (31.46 ± 6.19, 31.96 ± 6.81); Mg (2.62 ± 0.30) and (P < .05 respectively). Body mass index (BMI) was significantly decreased while diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were significantly increased in HIV seropositive pregnant women with malaria compared with their seronegative counterparts (P < .05 respectively). Conclusion: The significant loss in BMI with derangement in serum zn, sel and mg levels in HIV seropositive pregnant women with/without malaria co-infection indicates high degree of malnutrition while the increased blood pressure suggests high blood pressure which might predispose the pregnant mothers to pre-eclampsia if not properly managed. Adequate micronutrient supplementation and effective anti malaria agent is strictly advocated in the routine management of HIV infected mothers during pregnancy to reduce the severity of the co-infection and adverse pregnancy complications especially in areas of malaria endemic transmissions.
Effects of fruit load on flower bud initiation and development in peach

Summary This study aims to quantify the effects of fruit crop-load on flowering and to determine the relationships between flowering and phloem sap carbohydrate and nitrogen content fractions from budding to dormancy in ‘Zincal 5’ nectarine. Fruit load significantly reduced the number of flowers per tree both indirectly, by reducing the number of shoots per tree and the number of nodes per shoot, and directly, by reducing the number of floral buds per node. The intensity of the response depended on the number of fruits developed per tree. Trees that kept all fruits up to senescence flowered 35% less than trees thinned by hand to 40% of fruits at pit hardening, and 55% less than trees completely thinned in bloom by hand. Trees that kept all fruits had significantly lower glucose and sorbitol contents in the phloem sap of mixed branches up to harvest date and full vegetative growth, respectively, but no significant relationships were found between the concentrations of these carbohydrates and flowering intensity in the following Spring. Sucrose and fructose did not show any significant difference in regard to crop-load. In fibrous roots, starch content was not related to fruit load up to dormancy, indicating that starch content is not associated with flower bud induction and differentiation. The nitrate-nitrogen fraction was significantly higher, and the ammonium-nitrogen fraction was significantly lower, in trees that tended to flower less, suggesting some disturbance in nitrate reduction in these trees.
Few-Shot Learning for Opinion Summarization

Opinion summarization is the automatic creation of text reflecting subjective information expressed in multiple documents, such as user reviews of a product. The task is practically important and has attracted a lot of attention. However, due to the high cost of summary production, datasets large enough for training supervised models are lacking. Instead, the task has been traditionally approached with extractive methods that learn to select text fragments in an unsupervised or weakly-supervised way. Recently, it has been shown that abstractive summaries, potentially more fluent and better at reflecting conflicting information, can also be produced in an unsupervised fashion. However, these models, not being exposed to actual summaries, fail to capture their essential properties. In this work, we show that even a handful of summaries is sufficient to bootstrap generation of the summary text with all expected properties, such as writing style, informativeness, fluency, and sentiment preservation. We start by training a conditional Transformer language model to generate a new product review given other available reviews of the product. The model is also conditioned on review properties that are directly related to summaries; the properties are derived from reviews with no manual effort. In the second stage, we fine-tune a plug-in module that learns to predict property values on a handful of summaries. This lets us switch the generator to the summarization mode. We show on Amazon and Yelp datasets that our approach substantially outperforms previous extractive and abstractive methods in automatic and human evaluation.
The influence of index selection for improved growth and carcass characteristics on appetite in a population of large white pigs

Correlated genetic changes in the level and pattern of average daily food intake (ADFI) were evaluated n i a population of pigs under index selection over an 11-year period. Performance testing was carried out in single sex groups of two or three full-sibs over the live-weight range 27 to 87 kg on an ad libitum feeding regime. The selection index incorporated live-weight gain, ultrasonic backfat thickness and a group food conversion ratio. Samples of boars from a contemporary control line were used to measure genetic change over time. Cumulated correlated responses in ADFI for boars and gilts showed considerable variation between years but the values were always negative and tended to increase up to year 7 but increased no further from then on. Thus, in year 11 the cumulated responses for ADFI in boars and gilts were -0·25 (s.e. 0·06) kg ( P P
A behavior model of willingness to pay for air improvement projects

Environmental problems are increasingly frequent.They are no longer interpreted as a problem resulting exclusively from production processes but rather a problem of individual behavior and perception. This study proposes a behavior model that measures individuals’ willingness to pay (WTP) for improved air quality via a firewood certification program. We surveyed 776 people and found that individuals exhibit favorable behavior toward the environment based on the previous knowledge they have about environmental issues. We suggest that more information needs to be provided tothe population so that they have a greater understanding about environmental problems, thus encouraging behaviors that are more favorable toward the environment.Such actions will allow for decontamination programs, like the one outlined in this study, to be more readily supported and implemented. Keywords: Consumer behaviour, willingness to pay, air quality. RESUMEN El problema medio ambiental es cada dia mas frecuente, en cuya composicion, si bien es cierto se aprecian dimensiones asociadas al proceso productivo, este es mas bien un problema de percepciones y comportamiento. De esta forma, el objetivo de este trabajo es proponer un modelo de comportamiento, que permita medir la disposicion a pagar de las personas por un mejoramiento en la calidad del aire via el uso de lena certificada. La metodologia incluyo la aplicacion de un instrumento consistente en una encuesta, la cual fue aplicada a un total de 776 personas. La investigacion permite concluir que existe un comportamiento favorable de las personas hacia el medio ambiente, a traves del conocimiento que poseen. Una medida efectiva seria otorgar mayor informacion a la poblacion respecto de la real situacion medio ambiental de la ciudad, buscando que tomen conciencia de la magnitud del problema y se comporte de manera favorable, accediendo a la implementacion de programas de contaminacion como el expuesto en el estudio.

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma of various sites: common molecular mechanisms but different players

Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) commonly arises from a background of chronic inflammatory disorder at various mucosal sites. The cause of the chronic inflammatory disorder is highly site dependent, ranging from microbial infection to autoimmune response. The adaptive immune responses generated by these different chronic inflammatory processes most likely have a critical impact on the clonal evolution of the lymphoma cells and their acquired somatic genetic changes. There is growing evidence showing biased usage of immunoglobulin genes, thus expression of stereotypic autoreactive B-cell receptor (BCR), in MALT lymphoma of various sites. There are also mounting data demonstrating distinct somatic genetic profiles among MALT lymphoma of different sites. More recent studies have revealed an association between biased immunoglobulin gene usage and somatic genetic changes that promote BCR signalling in ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma. Furthermore, there are distinct genetic changes in MALT lymphoma of the salivary gland and thyroid, which involve immune receptors and may enable them to gain more help signals from their microenvironment. In this review, I will summarise the recent research advances, advocating for a critical role of oncogenic cooperation between immunological drive and genetic changes for clonal evolution of MALT lymphoma cells.
Porosity Defect Analysis in ST 37 Steel Welding Joints Using the Dye Penetrant Method

The procedures in the world of welding all look simple, but all welding that looks simple must have extensive knowledge in accordance with the definition of welding. This welding is a permanent connection technique, when the welding process takes place the results do not always meet the quality standards that have been determined. The cause of the welding results that do not meet the quality standards in the form of dirt on the material when before welding and so forth. The purpose of this study is that the specimen specimens are accepted according to the welding institute's standard acceptance criteria (TWI) This research uses st 37 steel by using SMAW welding electrodes LB 52U (E 7016) diameter 2.6mm for root, and LB 52U (E 7016) diameter 3.2 for fillers and caping with welding position 1G. Testing of welding results is carried out by the non destructive test of the dye penetrant method whose inspection results are determined based on the standard ASME. The results of this test study discontinuity in the form of porosity on the surface of the welding results in specimen 1, namely material contaminated by dirt, there are porosity defects scattered with a length of 6mm and porosity of 10mm so based on the standard TWI both test specimens were declared rejected, and in specimen 2, material that was not contaminated with impurities, there were porosity defects of 2mm and 2.5mm so that according to the standards of the two specimens the test was accepted. For the results of welding defects that are rejected can still be corrected by linking to the defects that, and can be done welding again.
Cytotoxic and Cell progression effects of Mentha pulegium L extract on selected cancer cell lines

Mentha pulegium L. is one of the Mentha (Labiatae) species that is grown in many different parts of the earth including northern Iran. The total ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of this plant is used in this work to investigate on the possible cytotoxicity on two different cell lines. Human lung carcinoma cells (A549) and human breast cancer (MCF7), have been used to show the clonogenic count of cells, as well as their cell cycle phases progression pattern after the exposure to the different concentrations of this extract. The cytotoxicity of the total extract of Mentha pulegium L. is 59 ± 1.73 µg/ml for the MCF7, and 48.86 ± 2.5 µg/ml for the A549 cell lines, respectively. Flow cytometry analysis have shown two different adventures for these cell lines after 24 hours exposure to this extract. While the MCF7 cells presented a dose-dependent arrest at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle, the A549 cells are more intended to accumulate in the so-called G0 resting phase after the exposure to this extract. These promising initial results might bring hope for the introduction of a tissue discriminating anticancer agent in future.
