MICROBIAL ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDES AS ANTICANCER AGENTS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE STREPTOMYCES SPECIES
Authors: S. J Akshatha , Kalyani Dr. Manjula Ishwara
Published: May 2024

Despite improvements in tumour diagnosis and treatment, cancer remains one of the major causes of death globally. Conventional cancer therapies are incapable of treating specific cancer types at different stages since they affect solid and tumour cells leading to side effects and undesirable symptoms. Therefore advanced strategies should be developed to overcome cancer. Streptomyces species have been studied extensively over the past few decades as a result of their exceptional efficiency in generating antimicrobial peptide compounds that are beneficial to human health. The antimicrobial peptides originated from Streptomyces species belongs to different groups including anthracyclines, macrolides, quinones, aminoglycosides and non-ribosomal peptides. These antimicrobial peptides causes DNA cleavage through topoisomerase I and II inhibition, mitochondrial dysfunction, release of cytochrome c molecules, suppression of tumour induced angiogenesis and inhibition of important signal transduction enzymes like proteases or cell metabolism to induce apoptosis. Streptomyces Sp. are widely distributed in nature and can be found in various habitats. The members of these organisms have special attention to produce therapeutic peptide compounds which has strong cytotoxic effect against several human cancer cells. In this review, we explored the anticancer impact represented by Streptomyces Sp. in search for future chemo preventive and anticancer medications”

Disease Navigation: From Oncology to Chronic and Complex Illness
Development and Implementation of a Stroke Nurse Navigator Position to Improve Program and Patient Outcomes
Authors: Pope Leslie , Dellostretto Nicole , Buchinsky Kelly , Noah Patty , Hackett Chris , Cerejo Russell , Tayal Ashis
Published: May 2024

Background
Transitions in stroke care across the healthcare system are complex, requiring significant patient and family support. Navigation has been used in other disease states including oncology but has not been described well in the stroke population.
Methods
Our stroke program leadership performed a gap analysis to identify opportunities to streamline the care transition process.  The emerging stroke nurse navigator role was implemented to meet patient/family needs and ensure implementation of evidence-based stroke services throughout transitions across the stroke system of care.
Results
The stroke navigator role was formally implemented in April 2018, along with adaptive patient selection criteria that have evolved as expertise in navigation has grown. Clarity in role function between the stroke coordinator and stroke navigator positions was established demonstrating the synergistic relationships between these two roles.  Similarly, interventions and services performed routinely by stroke navigators developed over time as navigators became well versed in the needs of patients and families in the post-acute phase of care. We provide a detailed history of our 6-year experience with stroke navigation and make recommendations for role adoption and enactment.
Conclusion
Stroke navigator roles are likely to continue to grow to support the complex needs of stroke survivors and family members.  Flexibility in role development and reflective role evolution are encouraged to support growth of the stroke navigator position and measures of role effectiveness.
Emerging Post-Hospital Models of Care: A Primer for Stroke Center Leaders
Authors: Livesay Sarah , Hill Debbie
Published: May 2024

After discharge, stroke survivors are at high risk for secondary stroke as well as readmission to a hospital. While stroke center certification standards emphasize preparing patients and caregivers for discharge, patients discharged to home may experience delays in seeing a community provider and report inadequate preparation for discharge. Several models suggest inpatient stroke programs are assuming additional roles and responsibilities in the management of patients after discharge. Models such as a stroke nurse navigator, post-stroke clinics and other interdisciplinary supported discharge programs may address gaps in care after discharge.  Even with this evidence, stroke leaders should evaluate their own patient outcomes to understand their needs and plan services accordingly.  Strategies to evaluate discharge outcomes and advocate for services are discussed.

Chinese University Students' Growth in Critical Thinking: Accounting for School Transition and Selection Effects
Authors: Luo Jinwen , Joen Minjeong , Shen Hong
Published: May 2024

Evaluating cognitive ability and skills development in higher education presents challenges because the focal outcome often serves as, or at least is reflected in, selection criteria for college admission decisions. Additionally, the baseline abilities and skills gained from earlier educational experiences impact students' further learning outcomes. To address these challenges, we propose an integrated framework for estimating students' growth that accounts for lasting transition effects and varying selection effects. Using a nationally representative longitudinal sample of Chinese university students, we found that students experienced medium-sized growth (0.67) in critical thinking skills, with a large effect size observed for evaluating the reasoning of an argument, a medium effect size for evaluating argument implications, and no significant growth in evaluating argument credibility. Our estimates of transition effects showed that the impact of earlier education experience on students' critical thinking growth diminished in the college years. After controlling students' socioeconomic status and the college entrance examination scores, we found that the within-university advantage in the college entrance examination served as a factor in explaining the university impacts on students’ critical thinking. Our findings provide rich insights into improving the evaluation of critical thinking skills in Chinese universities, and our illustrative framework can also be applied to similar education contexts.
East meets West: Secondary Education Reform in Taiwan: Comparing the Perceptions of Teachers and Students between 2011 and 2021
Authors: Joong Peter , Gibbs Rose
Published: May 2024

This mixed methods study compares how secondary school teachers implemented the 12-year Basic Education Reform in Taiwan in 2011 and 2021. Major sources of were surveys from sample teachers and students in sixteen sample schools. The survey asked how often a teaching or evaluation strategy was used. The conclusions of both studies indicate that teacher-directed lessons (teacher talk and questioning) dominated. The use of student-centred learning (SCL) methods (activities and group work) was limited. However, almost 30% of the sample students in both studies stated that the behaviour of students in the classroom was affecting their work. A major obstacle for the reform remains high-stakes examinations, which rely heavily on rote memorization, rather than the creative application of knowledge. Educators in all jurisdictions can learn from the reform efforts.

Researchers used a synthetic panel approach to estimate individual income in the second round based on data from the first round. This approach allows research to look at changes in individual income over time, even though actual panel data is unavailable. Based on research results, it show that the main factor influencing stagnation is the difficulty of leaving poverty, not the problem of entering poverty. In addition, analyses that consider the entire period also provide different results regarding the level of permanence in poverty. Synthetic panel analysis shows that the individuals who move out of poverty are those who were poor at the start of each period studied, not those who already had incomes above the poverty line. In addition, these results also show that the proportion of individuals who experience poverty in a shorter period is greater than that of those who experience poverty for four years. The analysis shows changes in poverty dynamics between the two periods studied. Successive poverty dominates, meaning that individuals who fall into poverty tend to remain poor over that period. However, the predominance is shifting towards transient poverty, where individuals experience poverty for shorter periods, moving in and out of poverty within that period.

In the realm of Industry 4.0, the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning for anomaly detection faces challenges due to significant computational demands and associated environmental consequences. This study aims to tackle the need for high-performance machine learning models while promoting environmental sustainability, contributing to the emerging concept of 'Green AI.' We meticulously assessed a wide range of machine learning algorithms, combined with various Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) configurations. Our evaluation encompassed a comprehensive set of performance metrics, including Accuracy, Area Under the Curve (AUC), Recall, Precision, F1 Score, Kappa Statistic, Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC), and F1 Macro. Concurrently, we evaluated the environmental footprint of these models by considering factors such as time duration, CO2 emissions, and energy consumption during training, cross-validation, and inference phases.
 
While traditional machine learning algorithms like Decision Trees and Random Forests exhibited robust efficiency and performance, optimized MLP configurations yielded superior results, albeit with a proportional increase in resource consumption. To address the trade-offs between model performance and environmental impact, we employed a multi-objective optimization approach based on Pareto optimality principles. The insights gleaned emphasize the importance of striking a balance between model performance, complexity, and environmental considerations, offering valuable guidance for future endeavors in developing environmentally conscious machine learning models for industrial applications.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) applications has revolutionized healthcare. This study conducts a comprehensive literature review to elucidate the multifaceted role of AI in healthcare, focusing on key aspects including medical imaging and diagnostics, virtual patient care, medical research and drug discovery, patient engagement and compliance, rehabilitation, and administrative applications. AI's impact is observed across various domains, including detecting clinical conditions in medical imaging, early diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), virtual patient care utilizing AI-powered tools, electronic health record management, enhancing patient engagement and treatment compliance, reducing administrative burdens for healthcare professionals (HCPs), drug and vaccine discovery, identification of medical prescription errors, extensive data storage and analysis, and technology-assisted rehabilitation. However, the integration of AI in healthcare encounters several technical, ethical, and social challenges, such as privacy concerns, safety issues, autonomy and consent, cost considerations, information transparency, access disparities, and efficacy uncertainties. Effective governance of AI applications is imperative to ensure patient safety, accountability, and to bolster HCPs' confidence, thus fostering acceptance and yielding significant health benefits. Precise governance is essential to address regulatory, ethical, and trust concerns while advancing the adoption and implementation of AI in healthcare. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, AI has sparked a healthcare revolution, signaling a promising leap forward to meet future healthcare demands.
