Effect of Educational Toolkit on Pediatric Nurses' Knowledge, and Practices toward Noroviruses among Children

Norovirus is recognized as a significant cause of gastroenteritis and is a major contributor to non-bacterial gastroenteritis in both industrialized and developing nations. In addition, after rotavirus, Norovirus is thought to be the second most common cause of severe pediatric gastroenteritis. Objective : To determine the effect of educational toolkit on pediatric nurses' knowledge and practices (KP) toward Noroviruses (NoV)among children. Method : 51 nurses working in the pediatrics departments at the Children's Hospital of Mansoura University (MUCH) in El-Mansoura Governorate, Egypt, and they were caring for children with acute gastroenteritis and were willing to participate in the study underwent a five-month quasi-experimental research design (pre-post intervention study). The study was conducted from the first of September2021 to the end of January 2022. Results : The post-implementation scores are significantly higher than the pre- implementation ones. 74.5 vs. 15.7for good sufficient knowledge, and 74.5% vs. 7.8 forgood satisfactory practice. The mean score of nurses' practice about Norovirus and its preventive measures was 27.48 ± 5.89. This mean improved to 41.37 ± 5.70 after the program implementation, with statistically significant differences at p < 0.001 . Conclusion : It was concluded that, the educational toolkit had a positive effect on nurses’ knowledge & practices as represented by a significant improvement in the post mean scores of knowledge and practice for nurses at the pediatric medical unit. Recommendations: Integrating Norovirus prevention measures and management into the routine nursing care and creating ongoing educational programs for nurses in response to their requirements/needs aiming to updating their knowledge and enhancing their care of pediatric patients who are infected with such viruses.
PUNGGAWA-SAWI VALUES EDUCATION IN OVERSEAS BUGIS ETHNIC FAMILY AS LOCAL WISDOM OF THE FISHERMAN COMMUNITY (DESCRIPTION ANALYSIS FISHERMAN SOCIETY ON COAST BANDAR LAMPUNG)

In changes the values of life skills that occur in the Bugis ethnic fishing community, Karang Village, Telukbetung Timur District, Bandar Lampung City as local wisdom are due to incompatibility between the rules that are lived by the behavior they carry out, the weak role of social institutions in conducting supervision and socialization. The values of life that are framed in the activities of Bagang in the next generation are low in interest and the next generation to apply the values of life of the Bugis ethnic in overseas lands in their interactions among family members, the community as well as in the development and implementation of the Bagang activity. This study aims to determine the description of local wisdom in the process of educating the value of the life of the Bagang fishing community (read; Bagan) of the Overseas Bugis ethnicity in Karang Village, Teluk Betung Timur District, Bandar Lampung City. The method used in this research is descriptive analytical research with a qualitative approach that functions to describe and explain a complex reality by applying concepts and theories that have been developed by scientists.Based on the results of the research and analysis, it was found that (1) the pattern of punggawa fishermen's families in preserving local wisdom in overseas lands by inculcating life skills values was more likely to be participatory education patterns. This pattern tends to emphasize the process of the child's association with other punggawa or sawi who are more mature in developing their potential by providing maximum opportunities for achieving independence in living their lives. (2) The sawi family in the process of preserving local wisdom by instilling life skills values their education, tends to use a repressive pattern from older family members to younger family members, either directly or indirectly. Consequently, those with low education are positioned as people who accept the values of local wisdom in the lower class social strata. (3) The process of applying the life skills values of punggawa or sawi as local wisdom in the Bagang fishing community of the overseas Bugis ethnic in the Karang City Village area occurs because of the community's desire to survive with their existence as a fishing community that is unique with its traditions.
Predicting sonic and density logs from drilling parameters using temporal convolutional networks

Sonic and bulk density logs are crucial inputs for many subsurface tasks including formation identification, completion design, and porosity estimation. Economic and operational concerns restrict the acquisition of these logs, meaning the overburden and sometimes entire wells are completely unlogged. In contrast, parameters that monitor drilling operations, such as weight on bit and torque, are recorded for every borehole. Previous studies have applied supervised machine learning approaches to predict these missing logs from the drilling parameters. While the results are promising, they often do not investigate the importance of different features and the corresponding practical implications. Here, we explored the feasibility of predicting compressional slowness and bulk density logs using various combinations of formation markers, gamma-ray logs, and drilling data recorded at the rig. Our tests utilized a temporal convolutional network to allow the model to learn from sequences of input features. Bayesian-based hyperparameter tuning found the optimum set of parameters for each experiment before producing the final log predictions. Finally, a permutation feature importance analysis revealed which input variables contributed most to the outputs. Although drilling parameters contain some insight into the mechanical rock properties, we found that they cannot produce the high-quality log predictions required for many tasks. Supplementing the drilling parameters with a gamma-ray log and formation data produces good-quality log predictions, with the additional inputs helping to constrain the model outputs.
Protein structure–function exploration initiative in undergraduate biochemistry and independent research courses

Protein structure–function relationship serves as the primary learning outcome in any undergraduate biochemistry course. We expanded the protein structure–function exploration, PSFE initiative during COVID‐19 to provide more effective and engaging experience to our undergraduates in biochemistry and independent research courses. Multiple alignments of protein sequences provided crucial insight into sequence conservation across many species and thus allow identification of those sections of the sequence most critical to protein function. We used Anabaena Sensory Rhodopsin, ASR its transducer, ASRT and downstream novel kinase gene products of Anabaena PCC 7120 to seek their alignment with homologs in available database. Pymol served an opportunity to achieve this goal (interactive learning during lab session and stimulation of course content discussion) in interesting ways. The PSFE initiative expansion continued during pandemic using online/hybrid modality. Initially model examples all helical ASR and beta‐sheet ASRT were introduced to connect and integrate our ongoing research interest into classroom activities. Subsequently, undergraduates in biochemistry course were assigned a homolog of model proteins any particular protein of students choice to study and characterize using Pymol in semester. During first phase, each undergraduate worked independently using established guidelines. Student's exploration progress was periodically reviewed in pilot phase with majority of students who perceived it as challenging task successfully completed the assignment. Using the PyMol application to reinforce visual understanding of protein structure was highly satisfying experience that greatly enriched undergraduates understanding and appreciation.

Unravelling the French National Fungal Database: Geography, Temporality, Taxonomy and Ecology of the Recorded Diversity

Large datasets are highly valuable resources to investigate multi-scale patterns of organisms, and lay foundations for citizen science-based conservation strategies. Here, we used 1,043,262 records from 1708 to 2021 to explore the geography, taxonomy, ecology and distribution patterns of 11,556 fungal taxa in metropolitan France. Our analysis reveals a four-phase pattern of temporal recording, with a main contribution of post-1977 observations in relation with the structuration of associative mycology. The dataset shows an uneven geography of fungal recording. Four clusters of high-intensity sampling scattered across France contrast with poorly documented areas, including the Mediterranean. Basidiomycota and Agaricales highly dominate the dataset, accounting for 88.8 and 50.4% of records, respectively. The dataset is composed of many rare taxa, with 61.2% of them showing fewer than 100 records, and 20.5% recorded only once. The analysis of metadata brings to light a preponderance of the mycorrhizal guild (44.6%), followed by litter saprotrophs (31.6%) and wood saprotrophs (18.1%). Highly documented forests (76.3% of records) contrast with poorly investigated artificial (6.43%) and open habitats (10.1%). This work provides the first comprehensive overview of fungal diversity in France and identifies the Mediterranean area and open habitats as priorities to integrate into a global strategy for fungal conservation in France.
Convective Systems Developed along the Coastline of Sumatera Island, Indonesia, Observed with an X-b

An overview of convective activity during the HARIMAU2006 campaign conducted from 26 October to 27 November 2006 was presented, focusing on the differences between coastal land/sea and inactive/active phases of intraseasonal variation (ISV) based on observations using an X-band Doppler radar (XDR) and intensive soundings at Sumatera Island. Diurnal variation (DV) in coastal convections and formation of the coastal heavy rainband (CHeR) along Sumatera Island were also examined in terms of diurnal land-sea migration of coastal convective systems.Convection in the ISV inactive period (PP1) contained convective rain fractions nearly twice as much as stratiform rain fractions, whereas that in the ISV active period (PP2) comprised convective and stratiform elements almost equally. Vertical profiles of radar echo coverage for stratiform rain during PP2 were greater than those during PP1, especially in the lower troposphere over the sea. The radar echo coverage for convective rain over the sea during both periods was nearly double that over land from the near surface up to 6 km high.Convection was generated in the southwestern foothills of the mountain range in the early afternoon (12-15 Local Time, LT). Part of the convective system remained over the coastal land and exhibited weak reflectivity until the next morning. The other part migrated offshore at a speed of approximately 4 m s-1 and intensified until around 21 LT while still offshore. Additional convective cells also developed offshore in the early morning hours, independent of those that formed over land. Results suggested that the CHeR along Sumatera Island is dictated by diurnal variations in coastal convective development and consists of the following phases: 1) migration of convection away from the coastal land and its redevelopment in the late evening, and 2) additional generation of convection just offshore during the early morning hours.
CPUE standardization for southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) in the Korean tuna longline fishery, accounting for spatiotemporal variation in targeting through data exploration and clustering

Accounting for spatial and temporal variation in targeting is a concern in many catch per unit effort (CPUE) standardization exercises. In this study we standardized southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii, SBT) CPUE from the Korean tuna longline fishery (1996–2018) using generalized linear models (GLMs) with operational set by set data. Data were first explored to investigate the operational characteristics of Korean tuna longline vessels fishing for SBT, such as the spatial and temporal distributions of effort, and changes in the nominal catch rates among major species and species composition. Then we estimated SBT CPUE by area used for the stock assessment in the CCSBT (Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna) and identified two separate areas in which Korean tuna longline vessels have targeted SBT and albacore tuna (T. alalunga), with targeting patterns varying spatially, seasonally and longer term. We applied two approaches, data selection and cluster analysis of species composition, and compared their ability to address concerns about the changing patterns of targeting through time. Explanatory variables for the GLM analyses were year, month, vessel identifier, fishing location (5° cell), number of hooks, moon phase, and cluster. GLM results for each area suggested that location, year, targeting, and month effects were the principal factors affecting the nominal CPUE. The standardized CPUEs for both areas decreased until the mid-2000s and have shown an increasing trend since that time.
Observing the epoch of reionization and dark ages with redshifted 21-cm hydrogen line

The billion years subsequent to the Big Bang pose the next challenging frontier for precision cosmology. The concordant cosmological model, ΔCDM, propounds that during this period, the dark matter gravitationally shepherds the baryonic matter to form the primordial large-scale structures. This era is termed the Dark Ages (DA). The following era, the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), leads to the formation of the first stars and galaxies that reionize the permeating neutral hydrogen. The linear polarization of the cosmic background radiation and the Gunn-Peterson troughs in quasar absorption spectra provide indirect evidence for the EoR. Currently, there is no observational evidence for the DA. While state-of-the-art radio telescope arrays, Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) and Square Kilometre Array (SKA), propose various strategies to observe the early phases of the Universe, the advanced simulations employing high-performance computing (HPC) methodologies continue to play significant role in constraining various models based upon limited observational data. Despite a wide range of research, there is no end-to-end simulation solution available to quantifiably address the observational challenges due to statistical and systematic errors including foregrounds, ionosphere, polarization, RFI, instrument stability, and directional dependent gains. This research consolidates the cutting-edge simulation solutions, Cube-P3M, C2-Ray, and MeqTrees, to build an HPC prototype pipeline entitled, Simulating Interferometry Measurements (SIM). To establish and validate the efficacy of the SIM pipeline, the research builds a theoretical framework of two science drivers, viz., the presence of Lymanlimit absorbers and measuring non-Gaussianity from the 21-cm data. Thereafter, using the LOFAR and SKA telescope configurations, the SIM generates data visibility cubes with direction dependent and independent propagation effects. Finally, SIM extracts the original signal through standard techniques exploring the parametric phase-space. Results are presented herein.
Reconstruction of an evolving magnetic flux rope in the solar wind: Decomposing spatial and temporal variations from single‐spacecraft data

We present a novel single‐spacecraft method for decomposing spatial and temporal variations of physical quantities at points along the path of a spacecraft in space‐time. The method is designed for use in the reconstruction of evolving two‐dimensional, approximately magnetohydrostatic structures in a space plasma. It is an extension of the one developed by Sonnerup and Hasegawa (2010) and Hasegawa et al. (2010), in which it was assumed that variations in the time series of data, recorded as the structures move past the spacecraft, are all due to spatial effects. In reality, some of the observed variations are usually caused by temporal evolution of the structure during the time it moves past the observing spacecraft; the information in the data about the spatial structure is aliased by temporal effects. The purpose here is to remove this time aliasing from the reconstructed maps of field and plasma properties. Benchmark tests are performed by use of synthetic data taken by a virtual spacecraft as it traverses, at a constant velocity, a magnetic flux rope growing sufficiently slowly (relative to the Alfvén speed) in a two‐dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulation of magnetic reconnection. These tests show that the new method can better recover the space‐time behavior of the flux rope than does the original version, in which time‐aliasing effects had not been removed. An application of the new method to a solar wind flux rope, observed by the ACE spacecraft, suggests that the cross‐sectional shape of the core part of the flux rope was varying.
PARASITOLOGICAL STUDIES AMONG EGYPTIAN PATIENTS ATTENDED DIAGNOSTIC & RESEARCH UNIT OF PARASITIC DISEASES, KASR AL-AINY TEACHING HOSPITALS: A FIVE-YEAR RETROSPECTIVE STUDY

This is a retrospective study on recorded parasitic infections for in- and outpatients attended Diagnostic & Research Unit of Parasitology, Medical Parasitology Department, Kasr Al-Ainy Teaching Hospitals from 2017 to 2021. A total of 10557 samples were examined for parasites, Helicobacter pylori antigen detection and occult blood in stool. Stool samples ( 1%) were infected with 15 species of intestinal parasites. These were Blastocystis hominis (13%), Giardia lamblia (3%), Entamoeba histolytica (3%), Entamoeba coli (1%), mixed infections (1.6%), H. pylori co-infection (2%), and occult blood with parasites (0.3%). Male to female infection ratio was 50.3% to 49.7%. The highest prevalence season of infection was autumn (31.5%). But, all these results were statistically non-significant (p>0.05).
Graft survival after kidney transplantation with standard versus prolonged kidney procurement time

Background: During kidney procurement, after ice removal, kidneys located in the retroperitoneum are at risk for rewarming owing to the time taken to retrieve other abdominal and thoracic organs, which may lead to poorer outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of prolonged kidney procurement time (PKP) on outcomes of kidney transplantation performed at the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the cases of all adult (age ≥ 18 yr) patients who underwent kidney transplantation at the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre between Jan. 1, 2010, and Dec. 31, 2015. We included all patients who received kidney transplants from deceased donors with a minimum follow-up period of 3 years. We defined PKP as more than 65 minutes from aortic cross-clamp to final organ extraction, and standard procurement time (SP) as 65 minutes or less. Results: Among the 455 transplantation procedures performed during the study period, we reviewed the cases of 145 patients who received kidneys from Nova Scotian donors and were followed in Nova Scotia. No statistically significant differences were seen in outcomes between kidney-only (n = 46) and multiorgan (n = 99) procurement, although more organs from kidney-only donors than multiorgan donors had a Kidney Donor Profile Index score greater than 50% (32 [69.6%] v. 48 [48.5%], p < 0.01). Compared to the SP group (n = 115), the PKP group (n = 30) had a higher rate of 30-day graft loss (6.7% v. 0.0%, p < 0.01), a higher incidence of de novo formation of donor-specific antibodies (3 [10.0%] v. 1 [0.9%], p < 0.01) and a lower 5-year graft survival rate (90.0% v. 97.4%, p = 0.03). Left kidneys remained 11 minutes longer on the donor than right kidneys when multiorgan procurement was performed (p < 0.01), and their 5-year survival rate was significantly lower than that of right kidneys (p = 0.03). Conclusion: Procurement times longer than 65 minutes may be associated with poorer outcomes after kidney transplantation. Measures to reduce kidney exposure to rewarming during procurement may improve long-term outcomes.
Problem-Solving Treatment for People Recently Diagnosed with Visual Impairment: Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial

Background: Problem-Solving Treatment (PST) has been used to treat and prevent depression in a variety of settings. However, the impact of PST on improving psychological well-being in those with recent vision loss remains unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether PST may lead to better psychological well-being in people with recent vision loss through a pilot parallel-group randomised controlled trial. Methods: Participants who were diagnosed with visual impairment during the previous 3 months were randomly allocated to either an 8-week PST or treatment as usual (N = 61). Outcome measures were administered at baseline, 3, 6, and 9-months. Results: A linear mixed model demonstrated that PST significantly improved psychological well-being (measured by the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale) (treatment effect = 2.44; 95% CI = 0.40–4.47; p = 0.019). Significant improvements in the PST group for symptoms of distress, quality of life and self-efficacy were also observed. There was no significant difference in mobility. The treatment effect was consistent at all follow-ups. Attrition rate was low (13%). Conclusions: PST was associated with a significant and sustained improvement in a range of outcomes in people with recent vision loss. Further large scale RCT is now required.
