Counselor, Know Thyself. The Impact of Mental Health Literacy and Stigma on Stress and Satisfaction in Practicing Counselors
Authors: Crowe Allison , Mullen Patrick , Spargo Allison
Published: September 2022

As a professional counselor, awareness of oneâ€™s attitudes, biases, and assumptions is critical. Previous research has demonstrated that counselors are not immune to stigma nor to negative attitudes towards mental illness and seeking professional services when concerns arise. Furthermore, researchers have begun to explore relationships between mental health literacy and stigma and how these impact stress and satisfaction levels. To examine these variables in practicing counselors, the current study surveyed a total of 145 participants. Findings from this research indicated that higher levels of self-stigma and negative attitudes towards help-seeking predicted greater levels of stress and less life satisfaction. Mental health literacy did not predict stress or life satisfaction. These results are discussed with emphasis on clinical implications.
Development and Validation of the Optimal Supervision Environment Test (OSET)
Authors: Chae Ki , McAdams Charles
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the Optimal Supervision Environment Test (OSET), an instrument designed to assess the supervisorâ€™s ability to create an optimal supervision environment. Using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the initial validation of the OSET has yielded a three-factor model that identifies the following three environmental domains of supervision: the Emotional Environment, the Learning Environment, and the Power Environment. The total scale and each OSET subscale have strong internal consistency (.84 to .90). These results provide initial support for using OSET as a valid and reliable multidimensional supervision instrument.
Using an Idiographic Approach to Clients with Health Anxiety
Authors: Peters Scott , Gonzalez-Wong Christine
Published: September 2022

Worries about oneâ€™s health, while ubiquitous, can for some become quite distressing. Health anxiety occurs when one becomes focused on symptoms and fears they may become ill or die. This often overtakes their life due to continued worry. They often spend an inordinate amount of time and effort to seek answers. Other aspects of their life are placed in the periphery or abandoned. Traditional approaches are aimed at symptom relief. While effective for some, others continue to struggle. A more novel approach that aims to look at the client both holistically and individualistically can address much more than symptom amelioration.

A Novel Technique to Identify Intimate Partner Violence in a Hospital Setting
Authors: Tabaie Azade , Zeidan Amy , Evans Dabney , Smith Randi , Kamaleswaran Rishikesan
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is defined as sexual, physical, psychological, or economic violence that occurs between current or former intimate partners. Victims of IPV may seek care for violence-related injuries in healthcare settings, which makes recognition and intervention in these facilities critical. In this study our goal was to develop an algorithm using natural language processing (NLP) to identify cases of IPV within emergency department (ED) settings.

Methods: In this observational cohort study, we extracted unstructured physician and advanced practice provider, nursing, and social worker notes from hospital electronic health records (EHR). The recorded clinical notes and patient narratives were screened for a set of 23 situational terms, derived from the literature on IPV (ie, assault by spouse), along with an additional set of 49 extended situational terms, extracted from known IPV cases (ie, attack by spouse). We compared the effectiveness of the proposed model with detection of IPV-related International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, codes.

Results: We included in the analysis a total of 1,064,735 patient encounters (405,303 patients who visited the ED of a Level I trauma center) from January 2012–August 2020. The outcome was identification of an IPV-related encounter. In this study we used information embedded in unstructured EHR data to develop a NLP algorithm that employs clinical notes to identify IPV visits to the ED. Using a set of 23 situational terms along with 49 extended situational terms, the algorithm successfully identified 7,399 IPV-related encounters representing 5,975 patients; the algorithm achieved 99.5% precision in detecting positive cases in our sample of 1,064,735 ED encounters.

Conclusion: Using a set of pre-defined IPV-related terms, we successfully developed a novel natural language processing algorithm capable of identifying intimate partner violence.
Augustine’s De Magistro: Teaching, Learning, Signs, and God
Authors: Diener David ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: September 2022

Augustine’s De Magistro (On the Teacher) is a short and relatively minor dialogue that often is overlooked. Nevertheless, it is an important text, both for its role in the development of key themes in Augustine’s thought and because of its epistemological and pedagogical contributions to the philosophy of education. This paper explores the significance of De Magistro in three steps. First, it introduces the dialogue and offers a summary of Augustine’s argument therein. It then examines important contributions that this dialogue makes in the development of Augustine’s thought regarding signs and the inner teacher. Finally, it explores some educational implications of De Magistro regarding the nature of teaching and the use of Socratic dialogue that Augustine plunders from the previous work of the pagan Plato.
What is a Liberal Art?
Authors: Schlect Christopher ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: September 2022

The term liberal arts is widely used but seldom defined. While casual usage allows license for flexibility, academics should exercise care with terms that probe the vitals of their calling. This paper proposes a workable definition of liberal arts. It draws upon historical usage to address several concerns that figure into such a definition: it clarifies what an art is, it differentiates arts from sciences, it distinguishes liberal arts from other arts, and it also distinguishes liberal arts from humanities. Alternative definitions may also be viable, but only if they duly recognize historical usage and differentiate the term liberal arts from terms related to it.

Authors: Wasilewski Maya , Curti Christophe , Panuccio Camille , Bouguergour Cyrielle , Primas Nicolas , Lamy Edouard , Castera-Ducros Caroline , Jean Christophe , Bertault-Peres Pierre , Vanelle Patrice
Published: September 2022

OBJECTIVE

Clonidine hydrochloride is an antihypertensive, centrally acting α2 adrenergic agonist with various pediatric indications. For pediatric patients, 20-mcg clonidine hydrochloride capsules can be compounded from commercial tablets or from a pre-compounded titrated powder. These methods should be compared to ensure the best quality for the high-risk patients, and a beyond-use date should be established.

METHODS

Eight experimental batches were made from commercial tablets and 8 were made from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)–based titrated powders. Quality controls were performed to determine the best compounding protocol. Stability study was conducted on capsules compounded with the best method.

RESULTS

Of 8 batches manufactured from commercial tablets, 7 were compliant for both clonidine mean content and content uniformity, whereas 7 of 8 batches manufactured from titrated powders were not. A clonidine loss during compounding was evidenced by surface sampling analyses. Clonidine hydrochloride 20-mcg capsules' mean content remained higher than 90% of initial content for 1 year when stored at 25°C with 60% relative humidity and protected from light.

CONCLUSIONS

Commercial tablets should be preferred to 1% clonidine hydrochloride and MCC titrated powder made from the active pharmaceutical ingredient. Twenty-microgram clonidine hydrochloride capsules made from commercial tablets are stable for 1 year when stored under managed ambient storage condition.
Predicting Intravenous Immunoglobulin Resistance Among North American Children Hospitalized With Kawasaki Disease
Authors: Singh Jasdip , Chang Arthur , Fusco Nicholas M. , Hicar Mark
Published: September 2022

OBJECTIVE

The Kobayashi score (KS) is the most widely used tool for predicting intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance in Kawasaki disease (KD). The KS has shown good sensitivity (86%) and specificity (68%) in Japanese children; however, its use is limited outside of Japan. No models accurately predict IVIG resistance of children with KD in the United States. We sought to develop and test a novel scoring system to predict IVIG resistance in hospitalized children with KD.

METHODS

A retrospective chart review was conducted of all children diagnosed with KD from January 2000 to December 2015. Subjects were divided into 2 groups: IVIG susceptible or resistant. Variables that differed between the groups were identified and used to create a “new score” to predict resistance to IVIG. The new score was then compared with the KS and performance characteristics were determined.

RESULTS

A total of 208 subjects were reviewed. White blood cell count, neutrophil percentage, age, and serum albumin were used in the new score with equal weighting. Overall, the new score achieved improved sensitivity (54% vs 26%) and similar specificity (69% vs 74%) compared with the KS in predicting IVIG resistance in hospitalized children diagnosed with KD.

CONCLUSIONS

Predicting IVIG resistance in children diagnosed with KD remains challenging. The KS has low sensitivity in predicting IVIG resistance in children with KD in the United States. The new score resulted in improved sensitivity, but many children with true IVIG resistance may be missed. Further research is needed to improve IVIG resistance prediction.
The Concept of a Traveling Wave Propulsor for High Efficiency and Low Wake Signature
Authors: Vorus William S.
Published: September 2022

D'Alembert's Paradox and the Momentum Theorem are irrefutable arguments that the forces on a body steadily translating through an infinite invisid fluid are zero. However, these principles do not apply if the motion of the body involves unsteady components. In fact, it has been well established theoretically that net steady thrust, or drag, can result from nonlinear filtering in the products of unsteady body surface displacement and pressure distributions involved in the force itegrals. The efficiency of such propulsion is necessarily 100 percent since no losses occur in an inviscid fluid. Further, no wake is left downstream since, for an invisid fluid, vorticity and circulation are identically zero everywhere at all time. The interest of this work is to seek and understand the mechanisms responsible for propulsion in an ideal fluid for possible employment in real fluid applications. This would be as a replacement, in concept, for the usual propulsion hydrodynamic processes employing circulation, and reduction of the induced drag and vortex wake signature inherent with those processes. Specifically, a 2-dimensional strip executing anguilliform traveling wave oscillations characteristic of the swimming of serpentine animals is analysed.
Stern Flaps for Enhanced Powering Performance
Authors: Cusanelli Dominic S. , Forgach Kenneth
Published: September 2022

The U.S. Navy has been investigating the potential for improved powering performance by the installation of stern flaps on many recent ship designs. Stern flaps have been retrofitted to two FFG-7 Class frigates and they will be featured on the new LPD-17 and D00-51 flight 2A ships. In addition, the Navy has fit PC-13 with a flap in order to demonstrate performance prior to the retrofit of the entire PC-1 class. Full scale trials on the PC-13 are presently being conducted. An intensive investigation is underway to quantify the energy savings with stern flaps on the DD-963 and CG-47 class ships. Numerous model tests have been performed to explore the benefits of stern flaps on larger, sealift type ships. The physical mechanisms that account for the improved performance due to a flap are discussed. Powering reductions on the order of 6 to 8 % at cruise and maximum speeds have been measured at model scale. Limited full scale trials indicate that the improvement due to the flap on the full scale ship is greater than the improvement measured at model scale. Results from twelve different model test programs are presented, including predictions of overall energy savings, increased maximum speed, and decreased power at cruise speed. General guidance for evaluating the potential benefit of a stern flap on a new design is provided.
Drawing Halin-graphs with small height
Authors: Biedl Therese , Sheth Milap
Published: September 2022

In this paper, we study how to draw Halin-graphs, i.e., planar graphs
that consist of a tree $T$ and a cycle among the leaves of that tree.
Based on tree-drawing algorithms and the pathwidth $pw(T) $, a well-known graph parameter,
we find poly-line drawings of height at most $6pw(T)+3\in O(\log n)$.
We also give an algorithm for straight-line drawings, and
achieve height at most $12pw(T)-1$ for Halin-graphs, and
smaller if the Halin-graph is cubic.
We show that the height achieved by our algorithms is optimal in the worst
case (i.e. for some Halin-graphs).

The Pedagogic Corpus of Lithuanian is a monolingual specialized corpus, prepared for learning and teaching Lithuanian in a foreign language classroom. The pedagogic corpus includes authentic Lithuanian texts, selected using such criteria as a learner relevant communicative function and genre. Spoken language as well as written language are represented in the corpus. The size of the corpus is 669,000 tokens: 111,000 tokens from texts and spoken language for A1–A2 levels, 558,000 tokens from texts and spoken language for B1–B2 levels (according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). The spoken component constitutes appr. 7.5 % of the Corpus. The written subpart of the corpus (containing 620,000 tokens) includes levelled texts from coursebooks and unlevelled texts from other sources. The texts from coursebooks and other sources could be classified into 29 text types (dialogs, narratives, information, etc.) and 4 groups according to the communicative aims: informational texts, educational texts, advertising and fiction. There are two types of searches in the corpus: simple and advanced (see „Search Tips“). Simple Search allows you to find instances of a search item (word form, lemma, two words) in the whole corpus, or particular part of the corpus (spoken or written texts). After selecting the written subcorpus, you can further select the text type (coursebooks or non coursebook texts) and/or the genre of the written texts. Advanced Search allows you to use all the features of simple search and find some additional options. Since the Pedagogic Corpus is morphologically annotated, the advanced search allows you to search by grammatical features (e.g. part of speech, case, number, verb form, etc.).
Arseniev-Komelsky Parish (1920-1930)
Authors: (Molchanov) Igumen Ignatii , Smelova Elena Valentinovna
Published: September 2022

The subject of the study is the study of the history of Arseniev-Komelsky parish in 1920-1930. The object of the study is the situation of the rural parish of the Russian Orthodox Church in the first decades of the existence of the Soviet state. Special attention is paid to the specifics of the creation of the parish, the manifestation of the main directions of the state's policy towards religion and the church on the example of the history of the parish, the reasons and the process of its closure. The choice of the subject of the study is largely connected with an attempt to reveal the subsequent fate of the Arseniev Komel Monastery of the Gryazovets district of the Vologda province, which was closed in 1920. The source base of the research consists of legal acts of the Soviet state, archival documents (the State Archive of the Vologda Region, the Vologda Regional Archive of Modern Political History, the Archive of the Federal Security Service of Russia for the Vologda Region, the Vologda Diocesan Ancient Repository) materials of the periodical press. The novelty of the research lies in the study of a parish not mentioned in the literature; in the introduction of new historical sources (archival materials) and historical facts into scientific circulation. The main results of the authors' research are: the conclusion about the connection between the opening of the Arseniev-Komelsky parish and the closure of the Arseniev Komelsky monastery; the identification of the peculiarities of the anti-church and anti-religious policy of the state in 1920-1930 in relation to the rural parish (its tightening in the conditions of collectivization and dispossession), the combination of state policy and the interests of local authorities among the reasons for the closure of the parish. The article outlines for the first time the fate of the priest and some of the inhabitants of the closed monastery. It is shown that, despite the anti-church policy of the state, the religious consciousness of the peasantry (at least part of it) preserved.
Hydration-induced rapid growth and regression after indirect revascularization of an anterior choroidal artery aneurysm associated with Moyamoya disease: A case report

Published: September 2022

The prevalence of aneurysm formation in adults with Moyamoya disease (MMD) is higher than that in the general population. The treatment strategy is often individualized based on the patient’s disease characteristics. A 22-year-old man was diagnosed with MMD after presenting a small thalamic intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhage in the quadrigeminal cistern. Cerebral angiography revealed a small aneurysm (2.42 mm) in the left anterior choroidal artery. Since the hemodynamics in the left hemisphere was compromised, an indirect bypass surgery was performed. The patient’s condition deteriorated postoperatively because of poor perfusion of the internal carotid artery, and massive hydration was required. During neurocritical care, the aneurysm increased in size (5.33 mm). An observation strategy was adopted because of the distal aneurysmal location and the high risk involved. Subsequently, the patient recovered, and newly developed collateral flow appeared from the external carotid artery. Additionally, a dramatic size reduction of the aneurysm (1.51 mm) was noticed. Our case suggests that MMD-related dissecting aneurysms on a distal cerebral artery, which present a high risk of embolization, could be managed by indirectly reducing the hemodynamic burden. Massive hydration in such cases should be avoided or balanced to avoid the risk of rapid growth and aneurysm rupture.
Self-organized canals enable long-range directed material transport in bacterial communities
Authors: Li Ye , Liu Shiqi , Zhang Yingdan , Seng Zi Jing , Xu Haoran , Yang Liang , Wu Yilin
Published: September 2022

Long-range material transport is essential to maintain the physiological functions of multicellular organisms such as animals and plants. By contrast, material transport in bacteria is often short-ranged and limited by diffusion. Here, we report a unique form of actively regulated long-range directed material transport in structured bacterial communities. Using Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonies as a model system, we discover that a large-scale and temporally evolving open-channel system spontaneously develops in the colony via shear-induced banding. Fluid flows in the open channels support high-speed (up to 450 µm/s) transport of cells and outer membrane vesicles over centimeters, and help to eradicate colonies of a competing species Staphylococcus aureus. The open channels are reminiscent of human-made canals for cargo transport, and the channel flows are driven by interfacial tension mediated by cell-secreted biosurfactants. The spatial-temporal dynamics of fluid flows in the open channels are qualitatively described by flow profile measurement and mathematical modeling. Our findings demonstrate that mechanochemical coupling between interfacial force and biosurfactant kinetics can coordinate large-scale material transport in primitive life forms, suggesting a new principle to engineer self-organized microbial communities.
Presence of leptin and its receptor in the ram reproductive system andin vitroeffect of leptin on sperm quality

Published: September 2022

Leptin is a 16 kDa hormone encoded by obese (OB) gene in adipocytes. This molecule not only regulates energy metabolism but also plays a role in the reproduction of mammals. Leptin and its receptor (OBR) have been found in male reproductive systems of human, bovine, equine and pig. The effects of leptin on sperm quality vary widely from different research findings. However, the presence of leptin and its receptor in the ram reproductive system and thein vitroeffect of leptin on sperm quality have not reported yet. In the present study, we found that theOBwas highly expressed in primary and secondary spermatocytes of the testes,OBRwas highly expressed in secondary spermatocytes of the testes. The expressions ofOBwere in stereocilia of epididymis and in columnar cells of epididymal caput and cauda, the expressions ofOBRwere in columnar cells of epididymis and in stereocilia of epididymalcorpusand cauda. The presence of bothOBandOBRin testes, epididymis and sperm were confirmed through RT-PCR, immunolocalization and Western blot analyses. The RT-qPCR results indicatedOBandOBRhad higher expression levels in epididymal sperm than that of the ejaculated sperm in rams. When sperm were treated with 5 ng/mL leptin, the progressive motility (P< 0.01), straight-line velocity (VSL) (P< 0.05), average path velocity (VAP) (P< 0.05), membrane mitochondrial potential (MMP) (P< 0.01) and viability (P< 0.05) significantly increased, while DNA fragmentation index (DFI) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) significantly decreased compared to the control (P< 0.01), and the other semen parameters such as acrosome integrity and acrosome reaction rate had no significant changes between groups (P> 0.05). In conclusion, this is probably the first report describing localization of leptin and its receptors in the reproductive system of rams and their effects on sperm quality parameters. Our findings suggest that 5 ng/mL leptin treatment enhanced sperm motility, viability and MMP, and decrease DFI and ROS without obvious influence on the acrosome reaction in ram sperm. The potential mechanisms may be related to leptin’s ability to reduce the oxidative stress and apoptosis of sperms and improve their mitochondrial function and energy supply, therefore, to maintain the physiological homeostasis of the sperm.
Liking What You See: A Study on the Motives Behind Instagram Likes
Authors: Handoko Nicholas Valentino
Published: September 2022

The world has never been more connected than it is today and one key contributor to that fact is the growth of social networking sites. With the sum of about 4.2 billion active users, more than half of the human population, social networking sites have become a highway for information. From holding private conversations to appreciating others’ posts, social media users leave crumbs of information – one of which is a “Like”. ‘Like’ carries a plethora of information, and decoding it offers invaluable insight. This research aims to study the motives behind the act of ‘Liking’ an Instagram post. Following the data collection, an analysis using Albert Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory will be carried out. With it, the researcher concluded that the motives behind ‘Liking’ an Instagram posts are to manage relationship, form an identity, state affinity, provide support, and prompt similar behavior.Keywords: Social media, Instagram, Instagram Like, Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), Motives

Authors: Mustika Xarista Eunice Alfanadha
Published: September 2022

This study aims to find out the women’s and men’s language features used by Jeffree Star in his monologue entitled Full Face of Brands That Hate Me. The theoretical framework was based on Lakoff (2004) and Coates (2004) theories of language features. This study employed a qualitative approach. I found that Jeffree Star used color terms, adjectives, hedges, intonations, grammar, politeness, swear words, commands and directives, and questions. Jeffree Star also used two language features at the same time namely color terms and hedges, grammar and questions, swear words and hedges, and swear words and politeness. The use of language features by Jeffree Star was influenced by the topic of the talk and the gender identity. Further studies involving more subjects, objects, or other socio variables are needed to achieve a better understanding of the use of women’s and men’s language features. Keywords: language features, monologue, beauty vlogger
Politeness in Requests of Maudy’s Ayunda Talk Shows to Different Genders
Authors: Wahyudi Clarissa Gracesella
Published: September 2022

This study was conducted to find out the ways Maudy Ayunda, as the talk show's host, performs requests and responds to Ayu's and Nadiem's requests which have different genders. Also, the analysis was leveled up to the relation of politeness and gender. The main theory used was Watts (2003), focusing on the first-order politeness connected to Indonesian (Javanese) culture. Other supporting theories and studies from Suseno (2003), Kuntjara (2009), and Mills (2003) were used. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach using utterance/s as the unit of analysis. The findings revealed that Maudy mostly used indirect patterns in conveying the requests and accepted the guests' requests as her response. Several direct patterns were found but could be considered appropriate if analyzed based on the context. Concerning gender, Maudy used more direct patterns to answer Nadiem's requests than Ayu's.Keywords: politeness, first-order politeness, requests, utterance

The Ideal Masculinity of Male Ninjas in Naruto and Naruto Shippuden Anime Series
Authors: Deviani Jennisa Mayang , Mochtar Jenny
Published: September 2022

Shounen is one of the most popular genres of anime. Although Shounen is usually targeted at younger boys, it is often consumed by audiences of all ages, such as Naruto and its sequel, Naruto Shippuden. In this study, I will focus on identifying the masculinity within the male ninjas in the series and analyzing the motivations behind the exercise of masculinity to find the ideal masculinity. I will combine the masculinity theory with the Japanese’s manhood, to analyze the ideal masculinity in the text. Through my analysis, I find that the male ninjas of these anime series show different kinds of masculinity, which divides them into two roles, protagonist and antagonist. The protagonists are the ones who thrive to fight for others while the antagonists fight only to benefit themselves. As a result, the protagonists are able to possess the ideal masculinity as they can exercise their masculinity positively.Keywords: anime, masculinity, male ninjas, protagonist, antagonist.
The Journey of Becoming a Hero in the Avatar: The Last Airbender Animated Series
Authors: Karina Cindy , Suprajitno Setefanus
Published: September 2022

The popularity of Avatar: The Last Airbender intrigues me to analyze Aang’s journey, as the main character, in becoming a hero. I aim to analyze the stressors that cause Aang’s psychological distress, his coping mechanisms, and how he develops into a hero. To find out about the three aforementioned points, I use theories on psychological distress and coping mechanisms. My analysis demonstrates that Aang’s psychological distress is caused by three stressors: his fear of accepting his new identity and responsibility, his shame, and his fear of the war and failure. To deal with those stressors, Aang adopts two coping mechanisms: emotion-focused (avoidance, seeking social support for emotional purposes, and acceptance), and problem-focused (seeking social support for instrumental purposes, planning, and problem-solving). By the end of the series, Aang has become a hero by developing into a selfless and benevolent humanitarian who used his intelligence and integrity to win the war.Keywords: psychological distress, stressors, coping mechanism, hero
excavation of a prehistoric settlement at Lower Slackbuie, Inverness
Authors: Christie Claire , Dalland Magnar , Bailey Laura , Scholma-Mason Owain , Anderson-Whymark Hugo
Published: September 2022

The expansion of Inverness southwards has led to the uncovering of a landscape rich in archaeological activity, dating from the Neolithic period onwards. The abundance of archaeological evidence as been interpreted as indicating that the area was a hub for prehistoric activity (Hatherley & Murray 2021). The excavation of an area at Lower Slackbuie by Headland Archaeology in 2019 revealed evidence for Neolithic activity overlain by a series of seven roundhouses and a palisade enclosure. The later prehistoric activity likely occurred from the middle-late Bronze Age through to the Iron Age. The site at Lower Slackbuie can be linked to neighbouring sites, adding to an increasingly vibrant picture of prehistoric activity that took place south of Inverness.
Evaluation of Organizational Performance based on Accounting Information Security
Authors: Hashim Hasan Talib , Jasimee Khalid Hasan Al , Mohammed Sama Basim
Published: September 2022

A study was conducted to examine the impact of the security of accounting information systems on the quality and management of information to evaluate organizational performance. Companies listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange were asked to complete a questionnaire. Sampling was the primary method of random sampling. A total of 336 survey questionnaires were distributed, but 316 correct answers were used in the review process, resulting in a 0.94 percent response rate. To verify the hypotheses, a general deductive and analytical description was derived using SPSS version 26. According to our empirical research, four critical situations exist in four key areas. First, information management (IM) and information quality (IQ) directly impact an organization's performance. Second, SMEs respond to the market's needs without a methodology or system. Using information effectively increases their competitive capability (financial performance, market share, innovation, customer satisfaction). Therefore, crucial to create a culture of efficient data, information management, and quality. A business's survival could also be adversely affected by rejecting innovation hypotheses in the medium term. Productivity is directly impacted by information management (IM) and quality of information (IQ). 36.5% of the results are explained by correlation. Hence, information can be viewed from many different perspectives: as the organization's final product, as a product created and used within the organization, as a corporate information product, or as a product originating from the environment.

Bulk‐scale (01)‐oriented monoclinic beta‐phase gallium oxide (β‐Ga2O3) single crystals are brittle and fracture at low compressive strains. Here, it is reported that submicron β‐Ga2O3 pillars exhibit an exceptional room temperature plastic strain of up to ≈22% under compression. Deformation is observed in transition from brittle to superior plasticity with reduction of pillar size. The critical diameter for the brittle to ductile transition is ≈800 nm, attributed to the initiation of dislocation slip on the primary (400) slip planes. Below 500 nm, a second transition is reported to superior plastic deformation, achieved through the activation of secondary mechanisms due to both deconfinement and low crystalline symmetry of β‐Ga2O3, differentiating this finding from size‐effected plasticity of other brittle materials where plasticity is attributed to dislocation slip on primary slip planes. Molecular dynamics simulation supports the proposed mechanism of pillar deconfinement where plastic deformation in larger pillars is solely dominated by planar defects on (400) slip planes, while secondary defects are induced for sufficiently small pillars. No plasticity is observed for equally dimensioned pillars tested on a (010)‐oriented surface, highlighting the importance of presenting crystallography on submicron plasticity in this material.

Spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) is used to study interfacial magnetic features in La2CoMnO6 (LCMO)/Pt bilayers. LCMO is a ferromagnetic insulator with a Curie temperature Tc = 250 K and a strong magnetic anisotropy that can be tuned by microstructural strain. However, SMR measurements do not show any dependence on the strained state of the LCMO films. In addition, contrary to what may be expected, SMR signal persists above TC exhibiting a strong magnetic field dependence well above the saturation of the magnetization while the typical hysteresis on crossing H = 0 is absent. All these results suggest that the uppermost LCMO interfacial layers are magnetically uncoupled from the rest of the LCMO film and they do not show long range magnetic ordering. This fact is confirmed by a complete scanning transmission electron microscopy study of the interface that makes evident that the last atomic layers of the LCMO film do not contain Co and have a LaMnO3+δ simple perovskite‐like structure with the last atomic layer being lanthanum oxide. The analysis of the experimental results according to recent SMR theories indicates, in fact, that the LCMO interfacial layer behaves as a 2D Heisenberg ferromagnet.

Flexible acoustic sensors with high sensitivity, excellent mechanical strength, and easy integration are urgently needed for wearable electronics. MXene holds great promise as a sensing material for this application. However, low flexibility and stability limit the performance of MXene‐based composites. To alleviate the aforementioned issue, a flexible pressure sensor based on MXene/poly(3,4‐ethylenediox‐ythiophene)‐poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is fabricated and used as an acoustic sensor inhibiting high sensitivity, fast response time (57 ms), ultra‐thin thickness (30 μm), and remarkable stability. Excellent performance enables the sensor to detect and identify weak muscle movements and skin vibrations, such as word pronunciation and carotid artery pulse. Furthermore, by combining the proposed deep learning model based on number recognition convolutional neural network (NR‐CNN), speech recognition toward different pronunciations of numbers that appear frequently in daily conversations can be realized. High recognition accuracy (91%) is achieved by training and testing the proposed NR‐CNN with large amounts of data recorded by the sensor. Results demonstrate that the flexible and wearable MXene/PEDOT:PSS acoustic sensor accelerates intelligent artificial acoustics and possesses great potential for applications involving speech recognition and health monitoring.

Background

The prevalence of pneumoconiosis among working United States underground coal miners has been increasing for the past two decades, with the highest rates of disease observed among miners in the central Appalachian states of Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia. Surveillance for this disease in the United States focuses on working coal miners, who continue to be occupationally exposed to dust. This study examines the radiographic evidence for postexposure progression of pneumoconiosis in a population of former coal miners no longer occupationally exposed to coal mine dust who were seen at a community radiology clinic in eastern Kentucky.

Methods

Data were obtained and analyzed from clinical records of former coal miners who had a clinic encounter during January 1, 2017–August 1, 2019, a recorded final year of employment, and ≥2 postemployment digital chest radiographs. Radiographs were classified according to the International Labour Office guidelines by at least two B Readers. A final summary pneumoconiosis severity score (range, 0–13), accounting for both small and large opacities, was assigned to each chest radiograph. Progression was defined as an increase in severity score between a miner's radiographs over time.

Results

Data for 130 former coal miners were analyzed. All miners were male and most (n = 114, 88%) had worked primarily in Kentucky. Information on race/ethnicity was not available. The most common job types were roof bolters (n = 51, 39%) and continuous miner operators (n = 46, 35%). Forty‐one (31.5%) miners had evidence of radiographic disease progression after leaving the workforce, with a median of 3.6 years between first and latest postretirement radiograph. A total of 80 (62%) miners had evidence of pneumoconiosis on their latest radiograph, and two‐thirds (n = 53) of these were classified as progressive massive fibrosis (PMF), the most severe form of the disease.

Conclusions

Postexposure progression can occur in former coal miners, emphasizing the potential benefits of continued radiographic follow‐up postemployment. In addition to participating in disease screening throughout their careers to detect pneumoconiosis early and facilitate intervention, radiographic follow‐up of former coal miners can identify new or progressive radiographic findings even after workplace exposure to respirable coal mine dust ends. Identification of progressive pneumoconiosis in former miners has potential implications for clinical management and eligibility for disability compensation.

Synthetic multichromophore systems are of great importance in artificial light harvesting devices, organic optoelectronics, tumor imaging and therapy. Here, we introduce a promising strategy for the construction of self‐assembled peptide templated dye stacks based on coupling of a de novo designed pH sensitive peptide with a cyanine dye Cy5 at its N‐terminus. Microscopic techniques, in particular cryogenic TEM (cryo‐TEM) and cryo‐electron tomography technique (cryo‐ET), reveal two types of highly ordered three‐dimensional assembly structures on the micrometer scale. Unbranched compact layered rods are observed at pH 7.4 and two‐dimensional membrane‐like assemblies at pH 3.4, both species displaying spectral features of H‐aggregates. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the coupling of Cy5 moieties promotes the formation of both ultrastructures, whereas the protonation states of acidic and basic amino acid side chains dictates their ultimate three‐dimensional organization.

We demonstrate that several visible‐light‐mediated carbon−heteroatom cross‐coupling reactions can be carried out using a photoactive NiII precatalyst that forms in situ from a nickel salt and a bipyridine ligand decorated with two carbazole groups (Ni(Czbpy)Cl2). The activation of this precatalyst towards cross‐coupling reactions follows a hitherto undisclosed mechanism that is different from previously reported light‐responsive nickel complexes that undergo metal‐to‐ligand charge transfer. Theoretical and spectroscopic investigations revealed that irradiation of Ni(Czbpy)Cl2 with visible light causes an initial intraligand charge transfer event that triggers productive catalysis. Ligand polymerization affords a porous, recyclable organic polymer for heterogeneous nickel catalysis of cross‐coupling reactions. The heterogeneous catalyst shows stable performance in a packed‐bed flow reactor during a week of continuous operation.
