Authors: Muammar Tawfik , Smyth Julia , Aldaleel Omar , Gashout Salah , Jamieson Matthew
Published: July 2022

Background: Despite the increasing demand for continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) or insulin pump therapy in preschool children with Type 1 diabetes (T1D), reports on its advantages over conventional methods, particularly multiple dose injection (MDI) therapy, are scant. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the effectiveness, safety, and parental satisfaction of using CSII compared to MDI in preschool children with T1D. This study also seeks to establish criteria to help clinicians choose patients most suitable for CSII. Methods: Relevant terms based on the study outcomes were used to search electronic databases and manual search for the literature. Selected articles were then thoroughly reviewed and evaluated. Results: The effect in the meta-analysis showed a small, nonsignificant positive effect on HbA1c of the CSII compared to the MDI insulin intervention method (mean Cohen's d effect size = 0.25, Standard Error = 0.18, P = 0.16 (n = 127)) and a small, nonsignificant negative effect on safety of the CSII compared to the MDI insulin intervention method (mean Cohen's d effect size = −0.26, SE = 0.36, P = 0.47 [n = 70]). For parental satisfaction, data were small and therefore inappropriate for meta-analysis. Conclusion: For preschool children, the effectiveness and safety of insulin pump therapy compared with MDI therapy was considered statistically nonsignificant. All preschool children with T1D can be considered potentially eligible candidates for insulin pump therapy. Suggested selection criteria to apply when considering preschool children for insulin pump therapy were presented.

Public health measures promoting compliance of COVID-19 vaccination requires understanding of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP). This study explored the KAP and risk factors influencing COVID-19 vaccination, including changes in preventive practices before and after vaccination in a high-income country, Singapore. An online cross-sectional study among Singaporeans and permanent residents aged 21 years and older was conducted from July to August 2021. Univariate and multivariable logistic regressions using RStudio version 1.4.1106 was performed to assess associations between demographic factors, KAP, and vaccination status. P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. A total of 869 respondents completed the survey. Individuals with higher knowledge (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.00, P = 0.024), perceived efficacy (aOR = 1.19, P = 0.004), perceived safety (aOR = 1.20, P = 0.005), and willingness to uptake (aOR = 1.55, P < 0.001) scores were more likely to be vaccinated. There was a significant increase in the use of proper handwashing techniques among the vaccinated group before and after vaccinations. The governmental risk communication approaches have been useful in instilling high levels of vaccine knowledge. High levels of good attitudes about and knowledge of COVID-19 vaccination were associated with a high level of vaccination practices. Good perceived vaccine efficacy and confidence in government were also associated with positive vaccine uptake. This study paves the way for more targeted government measures to be implemented to improve vaccination rates of COVID-19 booster vaccines in a high-income country like Singapore.
Numerical analysis of the broadband interferometric sensor in the planar gradient-step index configuration
Authors: Blahut Marek
Published: July 2022

In the paper the model of an optical sensor based on a two-mode interference in a planar gradient-step index configuration is presented. The analyzed structure consists of a single-mode gradient index waveguide, made by Ag+-Na+ ion exchange, which is partially covered by a step-index SU-8 polymer layer. This step and gradient index structure forms a two-mode waveguide which is excited by a broadband light source from a selected spectral range. The refractive index variation of measured external surrounding affects the modal properties of multimode waveguide and the spectral field distribution at the output of the structure.

The influence of the type of graphite on the size of reduced graphene oxide
Authors: Drewniak Sabina Elżbieta , Drewniak Łukasz
Published: July 2022

Reduced graphene oxide is a very attractive material for sensor applications. It exhibits high conductivity at room temperature and high specific surface area. Since it can be produced in many ways, its properties can be influenced by the fabrication method. In this paper, we investigated the influence of graphite precursors (flake, scalar and synthetic) on the size of reduced graphene oxide. We have shown that the size of the precursor determines the size of the obtained rGO. We have noted that the larger graphite size, the larger rGO size. Full Text: PDF ReferencesR. Peng, Y. Li, T.

Authors: Ahmad Fawad , Ullah Shah Arif
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT. Biosorption is a cost effective tool for removing heavy metals from aqueous solutions. In the present study, M. azedarach biomass has been used for the biosorption of Ni(II) ion from aqueous solution. The effect of pH, contact time, concentration and temperature were separately studied. The optimum pH was found to be 6.0. 92% biosorption of Ni(II) ion was founded, when 25 mg/L of initial Ni(II) ion concentrations was used at room temperatures in 60 min. It was also observed that percent biosorption of Ni(II) increases with increase in temperature. The equilibrium biosorption data were analyzed by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms both were best fitted to our data. The maximum biosorption capacity (qmax) of 9.345 mg/g for Ni(II) according to Langmuir model. The kinetics of Ni(II) ion revealed that present biosorption process proceeds according to pseudo second order kinetics. From Thermodynamic parameters including Gibbs free energy change (∆G), enthalpy change (DH) and entropy change (ΔS), it was concluded that biosorption of Ni(II) ion using M. azedarach biomass is feasible, spontaneous and endothermic in nature.

An Economic Analysis on Indian Scenario of Coconut Production: Trends and Prospects
Authors: Narmadha N.
Published: July 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine the coconut sector’s growth performance and instability in the Indian context. Since India is the world’s biggest producer of coconuts (22.96 billion nuts), Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh are the states in the country where coconut trees are widely farmed and produced in huge quantities. These states account for over 90 per cent of overall production in the country and contribute around 89 percent of the total land for coconut farming. Area, production, and yield of coconut were collected from CDB based on secondary data from 1985-86 to 2020-21. The study period was divided into pre-TMC (1985-86 to 2000-01) and post-TMC (2001-02 to 2020-21). The study examines growth patterns using the compound growth rate, measures instability using the Coppock’s instability index, and investigates the role of area and yield on production using decomposition analysis. The results revealed that growth of area, production and productivity for major states in India was positive and statistically significant during the period II (post-TMC period) than the period I (pre-TMC period) except area under Kerala (-1.23%). Tamil Nadu and Karnataka reported a high level of instability in coconut production and its productivity during period II. Decomposition analysis shows that the area effect and yield effect play a crucial role in the total change of coconut production among the selected states. But area effect has negative in Kerala, which depicts that area expansion in coconut cultivation is merely nominal for other crops in the state. Hence, greater attention needs to be given to the states where to attract and encourage many new farmers into coconut cultivation by accessing modern technology, quality inputs, marketing and credit facilities under TMC by support of government, CBD and stakeholder.

Connexin 43 hemichannels in myocardial ischemia and ventricular arrhythmia: new potential therapeutic targets

Despite different treatment modalities, heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Connexins are proteins that form hemichannels and gap junctions. Gap junctions are responsible for the propagation of electrical and chemical signals between myocardial cells and cells of the specialized conduction system in order to synchronize the cardiac cycle and to provide an adequate pumping function of the heart. Gap junctions are normally open, while hemichannels are closed, but pathological circumstances may close gap junctions and open hemichannels, thereby perturbing cardiac homeostasis. Connexin 43 (Cx43) is the predominant connexin in the ventricles and Cx43 dysfunction is related to arrhythmia, sudden cardiac death and myocardial ischemia. Until recently, most therapeutic strategies targeting Cx43 were non-specific with many off-target effects. Newly developed peptides that interfere with the Cx43 channel function, are more specific and demonstrate new potential therapeutic possibilities for the treatment of myocardial ischemia and arrhythmia.

Um modelo de Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT) comprometida com uma proposta de educação integral e emancipadora, deve preocupar-se em habilitar os estudantes para uma inserção social consciente, que oportunize a problematização e transformação da realidade excludente imposta pelos interesses do capital. Esse trabalho tem o objetivo de discorrer sobre a ferramenta metodológica WebQuest, como possibilidade de suporte de ensino e de aprendizagem no âmbito da EPT. Com esse propósito realizou-se uma investigação bibliográfica em bases de dados de pesquisa como Scientific Electronic Library Online – SciELO; Google Acadêmico; Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações- BDTD; e periódicos CAPES (Portal da CAPES). Espera-se poder contribuir com a melhoria do ensino e da aprendizagem na EPT, a partir da propositura de reflexões sobre a possibilidade de utilização de uma ferramenta metodológica que pode agregar oportunidades de dinamização do processo de ensino e de maior significado à aprendizagem.

Mosquitoes are both a nuisance and public health threat. In recent decades, outbreaks of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika in Florida have raised awareness of the importance of domestic and peri-domestic container mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. The synanthropic nature of these species, coupled with their preference for human bloodmeals, makes them a concern of and target for mosquito control. However, mosquito control programs (MCPs) often struggle to sustainably manage these mosquitoes because of the cryptic and abundant nature of their larval habitats, and negative public opinion towards MCPs and the use of insecticides. Fortunately, mosquito control can be improved by the actions of homeowners and residents as they have regular access to their own property and containers. School-based education programs can provide a means to community-wide education regarding mosquito control. We developed and delivered a mosquito education program to elementary, middle, and high school students. Knowledge of mosquitoes significantly improved in participating elementary and middle/ high school students. This knowledge was partially retained according to a follow-up test that was administered. Additionally, attitudes towards mosquito control and at-home control methods significantly improved following the instruction. The improvements in knowledge and attitudes observed in students suggest they can and should be targeted for mosquito education campaigns by mosquito control programs and educators.

In a struggle to cope with school closures and shifting instructional paradigms from face-to-face to virtual, agriculture teachers across the United States were drastically impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We sought to understand how early-career agriculture teachers (ECATs) in California reflected on their teaching experience before and during the transition through February, March, and April 2020. Our work was guided by Pedagogical Design Capacity (Brown & Edelson, 2003) and the Discovery Learning® Change Process Model (Musselwhite & Jones, 2010) to explore the lived experiences of ECATS during the initial transition from face-to-face instruction to Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT). In this qualitative inquiry, the data illuminate how ECATs in California spent time reflecting on their reactions to mandates with raw emotion and how they are driven to change their teaching practice in novel ways. The data further reveal how ECATs cope with crises while supporting the fundamental socio-cultural needs of their students. The data lead us to better understand how ECATs leverage their networks and curricular resources to keep their students engaged in the absence of the traditional in-person instructional environment. The ECATs in this study also exhibited tendencies of resilience that impacted their experience during this teaching transition. Recommendations are discussed around understanding the process teachers undergo, triggered by a traumatic event, to return life to some form of homeostasis for themselves and their students.
Effects of a Simulation on Eighth Grade Students’ Business Management Knowledge and Entrepreneurial Intent in an Exploratory Agriculture Course
Authors: Brown Andrea H. , Knobloch Neil A.
Published: July 2022

Entrepreneurship education has historically been part of agricultural education; yet few researchers have studied entrepreneurship-related outcomes for youth in formal and nonformal educational settings. Entrepreneurship education programs develop entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions, but limited studies exist regarding junior high school youth. This quasi-experimental study utilized a business management simulation with eighth grade students and focused on teaching, learning, and outcomes of entrepreneurship in an exploratory agriculture course. Junior high school students had higher business management knowledge when an educational simulation (playing a board game using double-entry accounting and computing financial statements) was used compared to students who were taught using a board game and tracked a cash balance. Students’ entrepreneurship intent was similar between the control and treatment groups after the two-week unit. However, students who previously completing a 4-H animal science project had higher entrepreneurship intent than their peers who did not complete a 4-H animal science project. This study supports the premise that educational simulations can effectively teach business management skills and offers educators an enhanced understanding of how to capitalize on the value of SAEs and 4-H animal science projects when building entrepreneurial skills in youth.
Hybrid Vigor: A Quantitative Analysis of Job Satisfaction of United States School Based Secondary Agricultural Education Classrooms

The balance between work and personal life has seen a renewed focus in the years since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the years leading up to the work stoppage in 2020 a growing body of literature was being compiled that agriculture teachers, as many of the American population do, suffered from a lack of balance between personal and work life. This study sought to examine the way agriculture teachers spent their time, how they viewed their job satisfaction, and if any relationships exist between them. A national sample of agriculture teachers (N = 570) was conducted and when the results were interpreted it was found that agriculture teachers are majority female (51.9%), almost all took agriculture courses in high school (89.3%), were active in FFA in high school (81.9%), and many continued that membership into college (44.9%). Most teachers spent some time outside of school hours preparing for class, SAE supervision, and other school-based activities, but most of their time was spent on FFA activities. Teachers reported some time spent in domestic, civic/religious, and recreation time outside of work. Teachers had a heavy slant towards positive job satisfaction, (M = 1.86, SD = .788) on a one through five scale with one being extremely good and five being extremely bad. Significant correlations were found at a small level (Cohen, 2013) between time in SAE, time in recreation, and salary range with job satisfaction. Significant linear (p < 0.05) regressions were calculated with salary, time in SAE’s, time spent in recreation. Time spent in recreation provided the best fit.
