Work Harassment: Psychological Bullying in the Workplace of ICU

DOI: 10.51931/OAJCS.2021. 01.000010 WH: Work Harassment Harassment at work is an issue that if we think about it seriously, knowing the consequences it can have on its recipient will certainly not leave us indifferent, if not shocking. But it is not just a personal problem that one may face in the workplace. It is a social phenomenon, not only because it concerns the social isolation of one, because more than one person is involved, but also because it occurs in too many workplaces, in all countries of the world and also has socioeconomic components, both in terms of etiology and its consequences.
MEDIA EXAGGERATION AND INFORMATION CREDIBILITY: QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF FEAR GENERATION FOR COVID- 19 USING NVIVO

Present world is information-driven. News, information, facts, figures, data are the few terms which are pedalling the wheels of the present life and human being too. The digitalisation has transformed the media in different ways. Apart from the traditional media platforms like radio, newspaper, magazines, and television, the new and speedy news delivery platforms has made the information accessible in a few seconds. The online platform like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, and various other social media, has transformed the people behaviour and expectations. Now the information can be accessed, obtained anytime and anywhere. Media has played a tremendous part in Covid times too. It has helped to spread the information about this deadly infectious very quickly. Almost every media platform is bombarded with ample information regarding Covid updates like new cases, deaths, number of tests conducted, recovery rates, precautions to be followed, etc. People tend to believe every piece of information coming their way. It has been difficult to differentiate that which chunk of information is to be trusted and which is fake. This paper has presented the respondents' sentiment regarding the information which they have come across Covid times. The qualitative analysis has been conducted using NVIVO 12 to extract the respondents' viewpoint about the exaggeration of media on coronavirus disease.
Towards a Better Understanding on the Relationship between Knowledge Sharing and Public Service Motivation

Knowledge sharing has been acknowledged as the right mechanism for public servants to share best practices in performing work among workers. The sharing of best practices on learning by actions (doing) seems to enhance motivation among public servants to provide quality services. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between knowledge sharing and public service motivation among civil servants in the Department of Student Affairs, UiTM Merlimau and Public Works Department (JKR), Jasin, Malaysia. A total of 150 questionnaires were distributed but only 118 questionnaires were validly returned and used. The findings demonstrate that the level of knowledge sharing practices in both organisations is at moderate level. Pearson correlation analysis shows that policy making, commitment to public interests, social justice, civic duty, compassion and self-sacrifice have significant relationships with knowledge sharing practices. Meanwhile, multiple regression analysis reveals that only commitment to public interests, social justice as well as civic duty significantly influence the practices of knowledge sharing. The findings conclude that knowledge sharing is key element used by civil servants in producing public service motivation.
Charged Pion Production in Interactions on Hydrocarbon athE i= 4.0 GeV

Charged pion production via charged-current νμ interactions on plastic scintillator (CH) is studied using the MINERvA detector exposed to the NuMI wideband neutrino beam at Fermilab. Events with hadronic invariant mass W < 1.4 GeV and W < 1.8 GeV are selected in separate analyses: the lower W cut isolates single pion production, which is expected to occur primarily through the Δ(1232) resonance, while results from the higher cut include the effects of higher resonances. Cross sections as functions of pion angle and kinetic energy are compared to predictions from theoretical calculations and generator-based models for neutrinos ranging in energy from 1.5–10 GeV. The data are best described by calculations which include significant contributions from pion intranuclear rescattering. As a result, these measurements constrain the primary interaction rate and the role of final state interactions in pion production, both of which need to be well understood by neutrino oscillation experiments.
Engineering of Mesoporous Silica Coated Carbon‐Based Materials Optimized for an Ultrahigh Doxorubicin Payload and a Drug Release Activated by pH, T, and NIR‐light

Among the challenges in nanomedicine, engineering nanomaterials able to combine imaging and multitherapies is hugely needed to address issues of a personalized treatment. In that context, a novel class of drug releasing and remotely activated nanocomposites based on carbon‐based materials coated with mesoporous silica (MS) and loaded with an outstanding level of the antitumoral drug doxorubicin (DOX) is designed. First, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene sheets (called “few‐layer graphene” FLG) are processed to afford a distribution size that is more suitable for nanomedicine applications. Then, the controlled coating of MS shells having a thickness tailored with the sol–gel parameters (amount of precursor, sol–gel time) around the sliced CNTs and exfoliated FLGs is reported. Furthermore, the drug loading in such mesoporous nanocomposites is investigated and the surface modification with an aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS) coating leading to a controlled polysiloxane layer provides an ultrahigh payload of DOX (up to several folds the mass of the initial composites). Such new CNT‐based nanocomposites are demonstrated to release DOX at low acidic pH, high temperature (T), and remotely when they are excited by near infrared (NIR) light. Such nanoconstructs may find applications as components of innovative biomedical scaffolds for phototherapy combined with drug delivery.
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT IN ENGLISH INSTRUCTION AT SMP NEGERI 5 SINGARAJA

The change in educational paradigm influences the assessment procedures in elementary and high school in Indonesia. Curriculum 2013 demands teachers to implement authentic assessment. To build teachers’ knowledge toward authentic assessment implementation, many trainings and workshops have been conducted especially at junior high school level. Thus, it can be assumed junior high school teachers have fairly good knowledge toward authentic assessment. Now, the problem is whether teachers have implemented the authentic assessment properly or not. In response to such situation, this descriptive study aimed at analyzing the implementation of authentic assessment in English instruction at SMP N 5 Singaraja through analyzing teachers perceived knowledge toward authentic assessment implementation, investigating teachers authentic assessment implementation in learning instruction, as well as analyzing discrepancies which occurred among teachers’ perceived knowledge and English teachers authentic assessment practice. Data were collected through questionnaire, document study and interview. The result shows that English teachers have sufficient perceived knowledge toward authentic assessment implementation, where the percentage of teachers’ perceived knowledge is 64%. Teachers have implemented four types of authentic assessment namely, observation, performance assessment, peer and self assessment, and project. Discrepancies found in the implementation of performance assessment, self-assessment, and portfolio. This finding implies that teachers have not optimally implemented authentic assessment.
Hammett Parameter in Microporous Solids as Macroligands for Heterogenized Photocatalysts

Here we present a series of heterogeneous catalysts based on metal–organic frameworks and microporous polymers used as macroligands for heterogenized organometallic complexes. We show that both homogeneous and heterogenized catalysts follow the same linear correlation between the electronic effect of the ligand, described by the Hammett parameter, and the catalytic activity. This correlation highlights the crucial impact of the local electronic environment surrounding the active catalytic center over the long-range framework structure of the porous support. The rational design of heterogenized catalysts can thus be guided by molecular chemistry rules. The conception of highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst based on porous polymer support and driven by the Hammett parameter of bipyridine-chelating macroligand is demonstrated here for the Rh-catalyzed photoreduction of carbon dioxide with turnover frequencies up to 28 h–1, among the highest reported for heterogeneous photocatalytic formate production.
Determination of Selenium Species in Cordyceps militaris by High-performance Liquid Chromatography Coupled to Hydride Generation Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry

ABSTRACT The purpose of this work is to develop a high-efficiency extraction method for determining the selenium species in Cordyceps militaris. Six extraction solutions, including hot water, HCl, methanol–water, ammonium acetate, protease XIV, and protease K, combined with ultrasound-assisted extraction, were utilized in the measurements. The selenium species in the extracts were separated and characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography. Their concentrations were subsequently determined by hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry. The 25 mM ammonium acetate was selected as the extraction solution due to its advantages in cost and efficiency. Validation was performed, and the selenium species recoveries were 69–97% for selenocystine, selenite, selenomethionine, and selenate with good linearity and precision. The major selenium species in C. militaris were selenocystine and selenomethionine that accounted for almost 73.1 ± 1.6% of the total selenium.
Effects of dietary supplementation of organic minerals on the performance of broiler chicks fed oxidised soybean oil

The oxidation (rancidity) of fat is a very common feed quality issue, which can negatively affect growth performance and meat quality of broilers. Besides other factors, metal ions such as Zn, Cu and Fe can facilitate lipid peroxidation in feed. The objective of the current study was to investigate the effect of feeding corn soy diets containing fresh or oxidised soybean oil with different forms of microminerals on production performance of broiler chicks. Dietary treatments consisted of a 2 × 2 factorial structure with two kinds of soybean oil (oxidised or fresh) and two forms of microminerals (inorganic or organic). Mineral proteinate (Bioplex ® , Alltech Inc.) including Zn, Mn, Cu and Fe was used as the organic source and was supplemented at the level equivalent to 25% of an inorganic source in the control diets. Organic selenium (Sel-Plex ® , Alltech Inc.) at 0.3 mg/kg of diet was used to replace sodium selenite used at 0.3 mg/kg of diet in control diet. Oxidised soybean oil was prepared by convection heat (90°C for a period of seven days in a convection oven). A total of 1152 one-day old chicks were allotted randomly to the four dietary treatments using 12 replicates of 24 chicks per pen. Chicks were raised in floor pens for 42 days in an environmentally controlled room with free access to feed and water. There was no statistical interaction between oil source and mineral form on performance or mineral content of breast meat. Feeding oxidised oil increased (P
Surveying the survey: What can we learn about the effects of monetary policy on inflation expectations?

The replies to a questionnaire that was sent to the participants in the Chilean Financial Traders Survey (FTS) reveal heterogeneity in how they make their forecasts. There are also differences in how the traders understand questions regarding the future monetary policy rate (MPR); some of them answer what they think the central bank will do, while others what they think it should do. The FTS is distinctive from similar surveys in the sense that it is conducted immediately before and after the monetary policy meetings. This study employs a novel dataset that consists of FTS micro observations to assess the extent to which heterogeneity in the replies to the questionnaire affects how agents take into account MPR surprises when updating their inflation expectations. While the should-do traders incorporate MPR surprises in their one-year-ahead inflation expectations, it is not evident that will-do respondents do so. This could imply that the “model” traders have in mind includes an endogenous MPR path, which is not necessarily in accordance with what they think the central bank is going to do in the short run. The baseline estimates suggest that agents that merely base their forecasts on models do not seem to factor in MPR surprises in their inflation expectations updates, but small sample corrected standard errors indicate that the should-do traders might. On the other hand, for those that use information only from financial markets, only the will-do traders adjust inflation expectations in response to MPR surprises, which could be because asset prices incorporate what the market thinks the central bank is going to do. Two-years-ahead inflation expectations are not affected by MPR surprises. The results help to understand heterogeneity in forecasters’ inflation updates and stress the importance of understanding on what basis survey respondents answer the questions.
Effect of chromium propionate and fat source on growth, carcass traits, and meat quality in swine and the effect of chromium propionate on growth and carcass traits in broilers

Three experiments were conducted to determine the effects of the chromium propionate (CrProp) in swine and poultry diets. Two broiler experiments, each utilizing 1,460 Ross X Ross broilers, were conducted to evaluate the effects of 0, 200, 400, or 800 ppb CrProp on growth performance and carcass traits in 0 to 42 and 0 to 49 d-old broilers. In Exp. 1, 400 ppb Cr decreased (P < 0.10) ADG and G:F in the grower phase, but mortality was reduced (P < 0.10) in broilers fed 200 ppb or 800 ppb Cr. In the finisher phase, G:F was increased (P < 0.10) in broilers fed all dietary levels of Cr, and mortality was reduced (P < 0.10) in broilers fed 200 and 400 ppb Cr. Chromium did not affect the overall growth data or carcass traits. In Exp. 2, CrProp did not affect growth performance. The results indicated that Cr as CrProp improved G:F in the later phases of growth and reduced mortality in Exp. 1 but not in Exp. 2. In Exp. 3, 108 crossbred Yorkshire gilts were used to examine the effects of 0 or 200 ppb CrProp on iodine value, fatty acid profile of fat, growth, carcass traits, and pork quality from gilts fed tallow or choice white grease (CWG). Chromium decreased (P < 0.03) 10 rib back fat and increased (P < 0.02) percent muscle. Gain:feed was increased (P < 0.003) and ADFI decreased by fat addition. Fat increased hot carcass weight (P < 0.07) and dressing percent (P < 0.02). Average back fat, 9 rib CL, and total loss were decreased (P = 0.02 to 0.04) by tallow. Belly width was increased (P < 0.08) by tallow, but belly bending on both the teatline and scribe side were increased (P = 0.004 to 0.01) by CWG. Iodine values on belly and loin samples were increased (P < 0.001) by CWG. Overall, Cr affected BF and percent muscle and the inclusion of tallow decreased (P = 0.03 to 0.09) belly and loin iodine value further than CWG or no added fat.

Effect of buoyancy on dynamical responses of coflow diffusion flame under low-frequency alternating current

ABSTRACT The dynamical responses of a small coflow diffusion flame to low-frequency alternating current (AC) were investigated under voltages (Vac) and frequencies (fac) in the range of 0–5 kV and of 0–200 Hz, respectively. As high voltages were applied to the fuel nozzle, a frequency-multiplication mode was identified from the flame oscillations at fac < 8 Hz using high-speed imaging. This mode was characterized by bulk flame oscillations at multiples of fac until fac = 12 Hz, close to the frequency of the natural buoyancy-driven oscillation with the burner configuration used in this study. As fac increased past 12 Hz, the bulk flame oscillated at fac, resulting in a ‘lock-in’ mode. The results of experiments using a counterflow diffusion flame configuration with negligible buoyancy confirmed that it was the coupling between buoyancy-driven flows and AC-driven ionic winds that caused the frequency-multiplication phenomenon. For fac > 32 Hz, the bulk flame ceased to oscillate, and a spectral analysis found that ionic winds dominated the dynamic flame responses. The distinctions between AC forcing and acoustic forcing were highlighted. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) experiments at a kHz repetition rate were conducted to reveal the time-resolved flow fields. Electrical diagnostics captured the electrical signals; the calculated power consumption of the applied AC, with respect to the flame-heating power, was about 10–6.
Rheology and high-temperature stability of novel viscoelastic gemini micelle solutions

ABSTRACT To broaden the application of clean fracturing fluid based on surfactant, a gemini cationic C25-tailed surfactant, called FL-25, was synthesized. FL-25 can form a wormlike viscoelastic fluid in aqueous solution without adding any organic or inorganic salts. The rheological properties and thermal stability of the novel gemini micelle solutions were further investigated. The results show that the gemini micelle solution possesses viscoelasticity, thixotropy, and shear-thinning properties. The apparent viscosity of the viscoelastic gemini micelle solution at a shear rate of 170 s−1 remains approximately 69 mPa · s at 110°C for 90 minutes, showing good high-temperature-resistance property. FL-25 may be a novel gemini surfactant applied in clean viscoelastic surfactant fracturing fluids in the oil and gas field. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
