Performance of modified colistin broth disc elution vis-a-vis broth microdilution method for susceptibility testing of Enterobacterales
Authors: Kar Punyatoya , Mahapatra Ashoka , Malik Bilal Ahmad , Behera Bijayini , Mohanty Srujana
Published: May 2024

Objectives:

Recently, Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) has approved colistin broth disc elution (CBDE) to be a supplemental test. This requires multiple discs and tubes to get the desired concentrations of colistin -1, 2, and 4 µg/mL and 10 mL volume of cation-adjusted Mueller–Hinton broth for a single isolate. The present study was aimed to evaluate the performance of CBDE in a microtiter plate format modified (mCBDE) with the reference method broth microdilution (BMD) for detection of colistin resistance in carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) isolates.

Materials and Methods:

One hundred and sixty non-duplicate clinical CRE isolates (May 2021–April 2022) were simultaneously subjected for BMD and mCBDE. For mCBDE, colistin 10 µg discs and Mueller–Hinton broth no-2 control cations were procured from HiMedia, Mumbai, and drug concentrations were prepared following CLSI-M100Ed31. Results of mCBDE were compared with reference BMD (Minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] ≤2 µg/mL – intermediate and ≥4 µg/mL – resistant).

Statistical Analysis:

The performance of mCBDE was compared with BMD and expressed in terms of Categorical, essential agreement (EA), very major error (VME), and major error (ME). The sensitivity and specificity were calculated using Fisher’s contingency Table.

Results:

Of the 160 CRE isolates, 152 had exactly the same minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) in both the tests with four isolates having higher and four having lower colistin MIC by mCBDE, giving a major error of 2.1% and VME of 5.5%. Categorical and essential agreement of mCBDE were 97.5% and 98.7%, respectively.

Conclusions:

mCBDE is an easy, economical, and reliable alternative test for determining colistin susceptibility for CRE isolates. Further, large-scale study is needed to strengthen our observation.

Published: May 2024

This case series aimed to determine the outcomes of Descemet membrane detachment (DMD) repair after cataract surgery using air descemetopexy, Descemet membrane (DM) suturing, or a combination of these techniques. In this retrospective, interventional case series, the medical records of six patients who underwent DM repair performed by a single surgeon after cataract surgery between February 2022 and February 2023 was obtained from the hospital. Slit-lamp grading of DMD was mild, moderate, or severe. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) was performed for patients with diffuse corneal edema. Air descemetopexy and DM suturing were performed according to standard treatment guidelines. The anatomical, functional, and clinical outcomes were assessed. Four patients had DM reattachment, and one patient had persistent DMD that led to the decompensated cornea that underwent Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK). Four patients had best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) logMAR 0.3. Clinical outcomes showed a clear cornea in four patients, a decompensated cornea in one patient, and a scarred cornea in one patient. In moderate and severe DMD cases, prompt and adequate surgical intervention in the form of air descemetopexy and DM suturing reduces the rate of corneal transplantation.

Authors: Medynska Tetyana , Bodnaryuk Iryna , Noginova Natalia , Bartko Maria
Published: May 2024

The article examines the fiscal role of indirect taxes in the formation of state budget revenues. The peculiarities of indirect taxation in Ukraine, types of indirect taxes according to the current legislation are disclosed. Inflows to the state budget of indirect taxes were analyzed in terms of their absolute values, shares, and in relation to GDP. It was found that indirect taxes in the structure of the tax system of Ukraine are the main source, demonstrating high fiscal efficiency. The results of the analysis of the receipts of indirect taxes to the budget of Ukraine indicate that the key budget-forming tax is the value added tax, the second largest revenue is the excise tax, and customs duties occupy the third position in terms of revenue to the state budget. Therefore, indirect taxes in the structure of the tax system of Ukraine are the main source, demonstrating high fiscal efficiency, the reduction of their share in the structure of budget revenues in recent years occurred due to a full-scale invasion. In today’s conditions, tax reform should take place within the framework of a defined strategy, which will allow for a more reasonable modeling of the formation and forecasting of tax revenues to the budget, taking into account both indirect and direct taxes. It is important to emphasize the importance of consumption taxes as a key instrument of state influence on economic development, carrying out regulation by which the state contributes to the creation of competitive conditions in the domestic and foreign markets. This, in turn, contributes to the stimulation of business activity and the formation of added value, which is the basis of taxation of most types of taxes.

Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the study of self-regulation of students' educational activities using two key methods – "Academic self-regulation" by R. Ryan and "Coping strategies" by R. Lazarus. The authors systematically consider various aspects of mental self-regulation and its influence on stress-coping strategies. In the article, the authors present the results of the analysis of the nature of the relationship between coping strategies and features of academic self-regulation in the context of higher education.  It was found that most of the studied students demonstrate average levels of self-regulation according to the following scales: external regulation, introjective regulation, identified regulation, and self-motivation. It has been established that the variety of identified coping strategies indicates an individualized approach to overcoming stress in the conditions of higher education, however, the predominant orientation is towards solving problems. The results of a correlation analysis are presented, which allows us to determine the presence and nature of connections between specific types of self-regulation and selected strategies for overcoming stress. Direct and inverse correlations were established, which confirms the relationship between various aspects of self-regulation and the effectiveness of stress-coping strategies. It was concluded that the obtained results will contribute to a deeper understanding of the psychological mechanisms of self-regulation in the academic environment and the further development of pedagogical and psychological practice in the system of higher education.

Authors: Romanovska Lyudmila , Novak Mykola
Published: May 2024

The article is aimed at considering the psychological conditions of the development of the vitality of the individual in the conditions of war. Military conflicts create extremely stressful situations for military personnel and civilians, and understanding these psychological aspects is critical to maintaining mental health and building life resilience in the conditions of war. The article examines the various factors that influence life resilience, including social support, available psychological resources, individual personality traits, coping mechanisms, and effective methods of psychological support. As part of the research, it is noted that one of the key components of the vitality of an individual is social support. The role of family, friends, colleagues, religious leaders and community organizations in providing psychological support during difficult times of war cannot be underestimated. It is also important to have internal psychological resources, such as inner strength, emotional intelligence, coping strategies, internal motivation and positive guidance. The article also examines individual personality traits, such as temperament type, level of optimism, anxiety, self-discipline, level of empathy, adaptability, and resilience to stress, which affect the way a person responds to stressful situations. Adaptation mechanisms are also examined in the context of military conflicts, including problem solving, rejection of inappropriate strategies, situational awareness, acceptance of individual limitations, social support and protection. The article also provides examples of effective methods of psychological support that can help an individual overcome stress and trauma in wartime. Understanding these aspects of the development of life resilience in conditions of war helps to create optimal conditions for maintaining mental health and psychological resilience in conditions of military conflict. Thus, the article provides a comprehensive overview of psychological conditions, factors and mechanisms that affect the ability of an individual to adapt to stressful situations of military conflicts, maintain mental health and develop life resilience.

Distribution of Single-Particle Resonances Determines Plasmonic Response of Disordered Nanoparticle Ensembles
Authors: Sherman Zachary M. , Milliron Delia J. , Truskett Thomas M.
Published: May 2024

Understanding how colloidal soft materials interact with light is crucial to rational design of optical metamaterials. Electromagnetic simulations are computationally expensive and have primarily been limited to model systems described by a small number of particles -- dimers, small clusters, and small periodic unit cells of superlattices. In this work, we study the optical properties of bulk, disordered materials comprising a large number of plasmonic colloidal nanoparticles using Brownian dynamics simulations and the mutual polarization method. We investigate the far-field and near-field optical properties of both colloidal fluids and gels, which require thousands of nanoparticles to describe statistically. We show that these disordered materials exhibit a distribution of particle-level plasmonic resonance frequencies that determines their ensemble optical response. Nanoparticles with similar resonant frequencies form anisotropic and oriented clusters embedded within the otherwise isotropic and disordered microstructures. These collectively resonating morphologies can be tuned with the frequency and polarization of incident light. Knowledge of particle resonant distributions may help to interpret and compare the optical responses of different colloidal structures, correlate and predict optical properties, and rationally design soft materials for applications harnessing light.
Lighting Up Industrial Mechanochemistry: Real-Time In Situ Monitoring of Reactive Extrusion Using Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Diffraction
Authors: Gugin Nikita , Yusenko Kirill , King Andrew , Meyer Klas , Al-Sabbagh Dominik , Villajos Jose A. , Emmerling Franziska
Published: May 2024

Mechanochemistry is an environmentally friendly synthetic approach enabling the sustainable production of a wide range of chemicals while reducing or eliminating the need for solvents. Reactive extrusion aims to move mechanochemistry from its conventional gram-scale batch reactions, typically performed in laboratory ball mills, to a continuous large-scale process. Meeting this challenge requires the use of in situ monitoring techniques for gaining insights into reactive extrusion and its underlying processes. While the effectiveness of in situ Raman spectroscopy in providing molecular-level information has been demonstrated, our study uses energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction to monitor reactive extrusion in real-time at the crystalline level.
Relative Generality and Risk: Quantitative Measures For Broad Catalyst Success
Authors: Sanocki Michal , Russell Hayley , Handjaya Jasemine , Reid Jolene
Published: May 2024

The performance of chiral catalysts is typically evaluated against empirical reaction outputs like yield and selectivity with traditional analyses limited to a single model system. Expansion of the reaction space permits catalysts to be as-sessed for generality and this provides another useful metric for measuring the effectiveness of a catalyst. The catalyst generality algorithm will assign quantitative generality values to catalyst structures but such broad assessments are applied with the assumption that the reactions under evaluation are more or less the same by disregarding any inherent challenges associated with a particular reaction class. To address this limitation, we introduce two new met-rics, relative generality and risk. These are designed to correct for variations in reaction difficulty and enable a more nuanced evaluation of catalyst performance relative to the specific demands of each reaction. We show in a number of challenging examples that these metrics allow researchers to distinguish between catalysts genuinely exhibiting superior performance and those appearing favorable due to application toward less demanding reactions. This represents a significant advancement in quantifying catalyst success, with demonstrated applications in retrospective analyses and early insights into emerging catalyst classes.
Cation-Dependent Solvation Behavior of Aqueous Triflate Electrolytes
Authors: Pastel Glenn , Pollard Travis , Borodin Oleg , Schroeder Marshall , Xu Kang
Published: May 2024

We investigated trends in the cation-dependent solvation behavior and electrochemical stability of aqueous electrolytes with ten trifluoromethanesulfonate (OTf) salts (Li+, Na+, K+, NH4+, NMe3Et+, Mg2+, Zn2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, and Al3+). Our findings show that electrochemical stability is predicted well by the pH of the electrolyte with kinetic limitations associated with concentration against hydrogen evolution playing an insignificant role when the solvent-to-anion ratio exceeds the coordination number. Furthermore, the abundance of contact ion pairs is generally inversely related to the charge density of the cation, except when the cation and anion have similar solvation enthalpies (e.g., Na+ and OTf-). These trends in cation-dependent solvation, solubility, proton activity, and electrochemical stability provide helpful guidance regarding the design of electrolytes for beyond-lithium energy storage technologies.
Leveraging natural language processing to curate the tmCAT, tmPHOTO, tmBIO, and tmSCO datasets of functional transition metal complexes
Authors: Kevlishvili Ilia , St. Michel Roland , Garrison Aaron , Toney Jacob , Adamji Husain , Jia Haojun , Kulik Heather
Published: May 2024

The breadth of transition metal chemical space covered by databases such as the Cambridge Structural Database and the derived computational database tmQM is not conducive to application-specific modeling and the development of structure–property relationships. Here, we employ both supervised and unsupervised natural language processing (NLP) techniques to link experimentally synthesized compounds in the tmQM database to their respective applications. Leveraging NLP models, we curate four distinct datasets: tmCAT for catalysis, tmPHOTO for photophysical activity, tmBIO for biological relevance, and tmSCO for magnetism. Analyzing the chemical substructures within each dataset reveals common chemical motifs in each of the designated applications. We then use these common chemical structures to augment our initial datasets for each application, yielding a total of 21,631 compounds in tmCAT, 4,599 in tmPHOTO, 2,782 in tmBIO, and 983 in tmSCO. These datasets are expected to accelerate the more targeted computational screening and development of refined structure–property relationships with machine learning.

Organizational and Legal Principles of Implementation of the EU Civil Protection Mechanism in Ukraine in the Context of Guaranteeing National Security
Authors: Pomaza-Ponomarenko Alina , Taraduda Dmytro , Poroka Stanislav
Published: May 2024

It was established that one of the integration vectors of Ukraine's development is the formation of the security system in general and the provision of civil protection in particular. It was found that full-scale aggression against Ukraine leads to an increase in the number of emergency situations, destruction of critical infrastructure, environmental damage, etc. Given the fact that a full-scale war is ongoing, problematic issues in the field of civil protection for our state are crystallizing, taking on larger and larger scales. It is difficult for Ukraine to respond to emergency situations on its own, so it relies on international aid mechanisms. One of them is the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. It was found that this Mechanism was founded in 2001 and includes 33 countries. Ukraine will also join this Mechanism in 2023. The mentioned Mechanism is the most significant asset of the European Union in the field of civil protection, providing for the provision of additional assistance to the affected country (at its request) during the response to natural and man-made disasters. Unfortunately, when responding to disasters caused by acts of terrorism, nuclear or radiological accidents, the Civil Protection Mechanism is not used to its full extent. It has been established that Ukraine must ensure its own development of institutional capacity, the foundation of which is the organizational and legal basis of the functioning of the public administration system. It is substantiated that the achievement of institutional capacity in the field of civil defense of Ukraine requires the implementation of a number of management measures. Among them, personnel, organizational, informational, legal and financial ones are defined. At the same time, it is insisted that the measures of personnel and organizational and legal direction are the first priority in implementation, because they require a lot of time. The application of the method of historical formalization made it possible to determine the stages of development of legal support of public administration in the field of civil protection of Ukraine. It is emphasized that the current stage of the development of legal support in this area is marked by laying the foundations for the implementation of the EU Civil Protection Mechanism in Ukraine. In this context, the Parliament of Ukraine ratified the relevant Agreement. An analysis of its provisions gives reason to assert that participation in the Mechanism involves the payment of a membership fee, which is calculated taking into account the annual indicators of the EU and the member state of the Civil Protection Mechanism. Considering this, it is insisted that for Ukraine financial support as a criterion for participation in this Mechanism may become an extremely difficult issue during implementation, which needs to be solved on a systemic basis
Applying Friedman’s Bidding Model Towards Lowest-Bid Procurement Utilizing the Monte Carlo Simulation
Authors: Gandanegara Muhammad Irsyad
Published: May 2024

Under the lowest bid procurements, contractors find themselves in a competition in the process of contract bidding. When the rule dictates the lowest price as the contract winner, a high bid value would result in high profits but would have an unlikely chance to win the contract. A low bid would be more likely to win the contract but with lower to no profits. There are methods that solve the uncertainty of optimal bid value, such as Friedman’s model which achieves the optimal bid value using bid to cost ratios. Another method is to utilize the monte carlo simulation to model the prediction of the lowest bid for an upcoming projects. The study purpose is to find the optimal bid to cost value of the contractor based on the contractor’s past bidding records, the contractor’s true bidding cost estimate, and the opposing bidder’s bid value. Results show that the optimal bid to cost ratio for known number of bidders ranges from 1,1 for n=1 and 1,02 for n=8 in which n denotes the number of bidders. For unknown number of bidders, the value of the optimal bid to cost ratio is 1,07 with Gamma distribution and 1,08 with rayleigh distribution.

Authors: Berezivska M.H.
Published: May 2024

Since the beginning of the existence of the Internet, devices have been connected to it, and in the modern world everything has become more perfect and convenient. Also, the devices themselves have become more compact and accessible to ordinary people, so the Internet of Things or connected devices can be considered the driving force of Industry 4.0, which is also called digital, that is, artificial intelligence can perform certain operations without human assistance. New opportunities are opening up for companies and enterprises, they can significantly save their costs, both time and money, which will help to effectively perform work for the modern business sphere. An employee of the accounting service must be ready for new challenges, because the accounting documentation system is changing. Therefore, every modern accountant must be flexible to digital changes, acquire new knowledge, abilities and skills that are needed in the modern world. But not all new changes are immediately ideal, so there are a number of advantages and disadvantages of the Internet of Things in accounting. The advantage of the Internet of Things in accounting can be considered automation. Devices connected to the Internet collect the necessary data for the employee of the accounting service and, as a result, automatically enter financial data into the accounting system, this advantage allows for quick processing of information, and also reduces the risk of human errors in entering accounting data. But there are also disadvantages of using the Internet of Things in accounting. The main drawback is security and data protection. Ultimately, devices that are not sufficiently secured can be vulnerable to cyber attacks, which can lead to the leakage of financial and other important data stored by businesses. In order to succeed in the implementation of digital changes in accounting, it is necessary to analyze in detail the advantages and disadvantages of new technologies.

Promoting Ethical Sensitivity in Nursing Education: A Systematic Review of Case Study-Based Health Education
Authors: Tang Jinyi , Letchmi Panduragan Santhna , Yahya Fatimah , Nambiar Nisha
Published: May 2024

Abstract: Introduction: Nursing ethical sensitivity refers to a nurse’s capacity for thoughtful consideration of ethical issues when faced with dilemmas. In the nursing domain, ethical dilemmas arise when nurses face challenges in making sound ethical decisions during clinical practice. These challenges may stem from conflicts between personal values and professional responsibilities. Methodology: Articles downloaded from Pub Med, CNKI, and Google Scholar were reviewed. Results: After rigorous screening, a meticulous analysis was conducted, encompassing 10 articles and involving a substantial cohort of 2863 participants. Existing literature revealed variations in the ethical dilemmas faced by nurses across different departments. The ethical sensitivity of nurses also varies, with higher ethical sensitivity correlating with stronger empathetic abilities. Zhen et al. classified the causes of ethical dilemmas into four main categories: (1) Ethical dilemmas arising from personal reasons of nursing students; (2) Ethical dilemmas stemming from the actions of teachers; (3) Ethical dilemmas triggered by patients; (4) Ethical dilemmas resulting from miscellaneous reasons. Conclusion: According to literature findings, nursing ethical sensitivity was positively linked to the nurse’s ethical decision-making ability. A case study-oriented teaching program has proven effective in enhancing ethical sensitivity among nursing students.

Penelitian ini mengkaji tentang ridhonya orang tua mahasiswi beasiswa KIP-K terhadap persyaratan yang harus dilakukan oleh penerima beasiswa. Setiap mahasiswi beasiswa KIP-K diwajibkan tinggal di Pondok Pesantren selama satu tahun pada awal perkuliahan. Dalam hal ini, peneliti menggunakan motode kualitatif untuk menelusuri respon orang tua terhadap kebijakan tersebut. Selanjutnya, peneliti menerapkan pendekatan studi kasus kisah Nabi Ismail sebagai dasar untuk menjadikan ridho yang bisa diterapkan oleh orang tua mahasiswi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada orang tua yang meridhoi dan ada pula orang tua yang belum ridho anaknya tinggal di Pondok Pesantren. Ada yang mengutarakan bahwa tinggal di Pondok Pesantren memberikan wawasan keagamaan dan sebagai jalan pembentukan moral anak yang religius. Sedangkan sebagian orang tua yang lain mengaku khawatir terhadap keadaan dan kebutuhan anaknya selama berada di Pondok Pesantren. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya doa serta usaha agar orang tua memberikan restu pada mahasiswi penerima beasiswa seperti ridhonya Nabi Ismail yang disembelih oleh ayahnya atas perintah Allah SWT. Orang tua yang ridho sangat berpengaruh pada perkembangan belajar anak sehingga anak tidak merasakan kekhawatiran dan merasa aman selama satu tahun tinggal di Pondok Pesantren. Peran anak dalam menyakinkan orang tuanya untuk ridho pada kebijakan yang telah diterapkan menjadi kunci utama dalam penanganan kasus ini.

The biogeochemical characteristics of tidal drying in the estuary of the small Pilema River in the Onega Bay of the White Sea are considered based on observations made in October 2023. Here, mesotidal conditions are observed with a mean tidal range of 2.4 m at the entrance to the river mouth. Along the eastern shore of the estuary, anomalously high suspended sediment loads (356–692 mg/L) were observed due to stormy weather, but the estuarine section of the river, which is closed to developed wind disturbance, had relatively low suspended sediment loads (6–21 mg/L). The upper tidal drying zone was characterized by low values of benthic abundance, biomass and biodiversity, low projective cover of the bottom by algae, and insignificant concentrations of heavy metals such as cadmium, copper, lead and zinc. This situation is mainly due to active lithodynamic processes observed in this zone.
