Published: April 2023

Government to Government (G2G) is a two-way delivery of information from the government and the government. One form of G2G in the village environment is through the SISKEUDES application. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Government to Government through the Siskeudes application using four indicators, namely adaptability, target achievement, job satisfaction and responsibility. This research use desciptive qualitative approach. The analysis technique used is the Miles and Huberman model. The data sources in this study are primary data sources, namely interviews with informants and secondary data sources with photographs or documentation or documents obtained while in the field. The informants for this study were the Village Head, Village Secretary and SISKEUDES application operational apparatus (key informants). The research results show that the use and operation of the SISKEUDES application has been running according to the targets and responsibilities assigned. But in terms of human resources is still minimal. In addition, job satisfaction is still not felt due to the difference in honorarium received with existing regulations.

Published: May 2023

El estudio analiza las políticas de inclusión social y cultural en las universidades en Áncash (Perú). Socioculturalmente, Áncash siempre fue diverso. En la actualidad, siguen vigentes las tradiciones culturales ancestrales y existen más de 500 000 quechuahablantes. Allí funcionan cinco universidades, dos públicas licenciadas y tres privadas, una licenciada y dos no licenciadas. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal. Los resultados reportan que solo una universidad pública realiza dos acciones iniciales de inclusión sociocultural con perspectiva intercultural: la incorporación del quechua y algunos temas de la cultura andina en el currículo, y el acceso de estudiantes de las comunidades campesinas a la universidad mediante un examen de admisión especial. Empero, los docentes formadores en interculturalidad no cuentan con el perfil requerido. Así, las universidades ancashinas muestran la falta de un mayor compromiso y de coherencia con la diversidad sociocultural y sociolingüística de la región y del país. Entonces, se necesita de universidades innovadoras, reflexivas, inclusivas e interculturales para formar recursos humanos competentes en, con y para la diversidad.

La presente comunicación analiza el nexo entre transformación digital y bioética a partir de aportes de las teorías feministas de la tecnología (TFT). Su objetivo general es enriquecer la discusión filosófica en torno a los desafíos biopolíticos (Bratton, 2021) que piden por una bioética robusta, como la catástrofe ecológica o la medicalización de la vida (Mainetti, 1990). Los objetivos específicos son, en primer lugar, tematizar la necesidad de revitalizar la bioética en términos conceptuales, acercándola a su origen cibernético olvidado (Potter, 1971). Para ello, trabajamos con conceptos como el de «antinaturalismo» (Hester, 2019) o el de «antigenealogía» (Preciado, 2020). En segundo lugar, indagar la llamada «bioetificación» (Calvo, 2019) en tanto eticidad emergente de las mediaciones entre humanxs, algoritmos y naturaleza; para ello, se trabaja con las nociones de «cuidado» (Nurock, 2020 ) y «dilema» (Gilligan, 1982). En el primer caso, encontramos que las TFT permiten evitar la absolutización moral tanto de la tecnología como de la naturaleza, sin recaer en la relativización absoluta de las mismas. En el segundo caso, mediante el análisis de las inteligencias artificiales (IA) dedicadas al cuidado, encontramos que las TFT clarifican la influencia de los sistemas algorítmicos en el desarrollo de las competencias morales.

Microbial eukaryotes are important components of marine ecosystems, and the Marine Alveolates (MALVs) are consistently one of the most abundant and diverse groups of eukaryotes in global environmental sequencing surveys. Relatives of the dinoflagellates, MALVs are thought to be parasites of animals and other protists but the absence of data beyond ribosomal RNA gene sequences from all but two species means much of their biology and evolution remain unknown. Here we show that MALVs evolved independently from two distinct, free-living ancestors and that parasitism evolved twice, in parallel, prior to the divergence of the core dinoflagellates. Phylogenomics shows one subgroup (MALV II and IV, or Syndiniales) to be related to a novel lineage of free-living, eukaryovorous predators, the eleftherids, while the other (MALV I, now the Ichthyodiniales) is related to Oxyrrhis marina. Reconstructing the evolution of photosynthesis, plastids, and parasitism in early-diverging dinoflagellates show a number of parallels with the evolution of their sister group, the parasitic apicomplexans. In both groups, similar forms of parasitism evolved multiple times, photosynthesis was lost many times, and the plastid organelle was lost infrequently, leaving no trace in the genome that they ever existed.

Authors: Ma Fengyan , Zhu Yajing , Liu Yan , Liu Lu
Published: May 2023

Objective To explore the associations between psychological distress and nursing humanistic care demands
Methods
A total of 432 cancer patients were recruited and surveyed using the General Questionnaire, the Distress Management Screening Measure, and Nursing Humanistic Care Demands Questionnaire. Pearson correlation analysis was applied in SPSS.24 to test the relationship between psychological distress and nursing humanistic care demands.
Results
The average psychological distress score of cancer patients was (3.95±2.71), of which 212 cases of significant psychological distress (DT≥4) were detected, with a detection rate of 49.1%. The main problems in the problem list that caused psychological distress to the patients were worrying in 226 cases (52.3%), financial problems in 176 cases (40.7%), and surroundings in 176 cases (40.7%). The average score of nursing humanistic demands was （147.02±19.88）, There was a positive correlation between the level of patient psychological distress and nursing humanistic care demands (r=0.418, P<0.001). The multiple stratified regression analysis results showed that the nursing humanistic care demands were included in the model of factors influencing psychological distress (F= 82.749, P＜0.001). It could independently explain 27.5% of the variance in psychological distress.
Conclusion
Cancer patients have a high detection rate of psychological distress and a high level of nursing humanistic care demands. Nursing staff should pay attention to the psychological state of patients and alleviate their psychological distress by carrying out measures of personalized humanistic care.
Insulin signaling is critical for sinoatrial node maintenance and function
Authors: Kim Jaetaek , Ock Sangmi , Lee Wang Soo , Choi Seung Hee , Kang Hyun , Kim Sung Joon , Choi Seong Woo
Published: May 2023

Background
Insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) signaling regulate cellular growth and glucose metabolism in the myocardium. However, their physiological role in cardiac conduction cells has never been explored. Therefore, we sought to determine the spatiotemporal function of insulin/IGF-1 receptors in the sinoatrial node (SAN).
Methods
We generated cardiac conduction cell-specific inducible IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) knockout (KO) (CSIGF1RKO), insulin receptor (IR) KO (CSIRKO), and IR/IGF-1R double KO (CSDIRKO) mice and evaluated their phenotypes.
Results
Telemetry measured electrocardiography found regular sinus rhythm in CSIGF1RKO mice, indicating that IGF-1R is dispensable for normal pacemaking. In contrast, CSIRKO and CSDIRKO mice exhibited profound sinus bradycardia. CSDIRKO mice showed a typical sinus node dysfunction characterized by junctional rhythm and sinus pauses on electrocardiography. Interestingly, the lack of an insulin receptor in the SAN cells of CSIRKO and CSDIRKO mice caused sinus nodal fibrosis. Mechanistically, hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 4 (HCN4) protein expression significantly decreased in the CSIRKO and CSDIRKO mice relative to the controls. A patch-clamp study of the SAN cells of CSIRKO mice marked a significant decrease in the funny current, which is responsible for spontaneous diastolic depolarization in the SAN. This result suggested that insulin receptor loss reduces the heart rate via downregulation of the HCN4 channel. Additionally, HCN1 expression was decreased in CSDIRKO mice explaining sinus node dysfunction.
Conclusion
Our results reveal a previously unrecognized insulin/IGF-1 signaling role in the sinus node structural maintenance and pacemaker function.
Assessment of war impact on concentrations of pollutants and heavy metals and their seasonal variations in water and sediments of the Tigris River in Mosul / Iraq
Authors: Altahaan Zena Fakhri , Dobslaw Daniel
Published: May 2023

War-related contamination of water and sediment of the Tigris River within the urban area of Mosul leads to seasonally independent exceedances of the WHO limit values for Cd, Pb, Cr, and Ni up to a factor of 100 in water and sediments. Furthermore, exceedances consistently occur for conductivity, PO43-, and SO42-, as well as sporadically for salinity and COD in water samples, and consistently for salinity in sediment samples, highlighting the direct impact of war (amunition, ignition of sulfur fields) as well as indirect effects (destroyed wastewater infrastructure). Conflict-related emissions from the former conflict zone (S5-S7) are highlighted by the sudden increases in load from S4 to S5, although partially masked by discharge of highly polluted water from the Khosr River (between S3 and S4). Due to sorption to sediments and presumed wind-borne discharge of highly polluted particles into the Tigris River, sediments at S10 on the southern edge of Mosul showed the highest pollutant loads. Significant statistical differences were observed by T-test analyses for E.C., TDS, salinity, COD, PO43-, NO3-, SO42-, Cd, Pb, Zn, Cr, and Ni for water samples as well as salinity, Cd, Pb, Zn, and Cr for the sediment samples for seasonal comparison. Since the percentage difference of water samples at S4-S7 is smaller than upstream and downstream, contaminant input is not limited to rainwater, but also via year-round infiltration of highly polluted wastewater from the surrounding valleys or suburban areas as well as presumably polluted groundwater or windblown particulate input.

Authors: Dhanasinghe Chiranthi , Gamage Deepa
Published: April 2023

Background Leptospirosis is with a relatively high disease burden with significant mortality mainly affecting working age population in Sri Lanka. In its secondary prevention, early health-care seeking is given priority. The aim of the study was to describe the knowledge, attitude and practices of healthcare-seeking behaviour in leptospirosis among farmers in Pelmadulla Medical Officer of Health (MOH) area.Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among paddy farmers in the Pelmadulla MOH area. The cluster-sampling method was used taking a farming community as a cluster unit. Pre-tested interviewer-administered questionnaire was utilized by trained interviewers. Scoring systems for knowledge, attitude and practices were developed using expert inputs. Descriptive statistics were used.Results The response rate was 97% with 426 farmers being recruited. The majority of farmers were between 40 to 59 years. Male to female ratio was 10 to 1. The mean (SD) knowledge, attitudes and practice scores on health care seeking were; 7.17(1.59), 5.14(2.96) and 7.78 (2.7) respectively. The majority, 66% (n = 281) of the study sample had the good knowledge of healthcare-seeking behaviour in leptospirosis, out of all the participants, 13.6% (n = 58) had zero total attitude score, with 50% categorized as poor, while 50% (n = 213) of the study sample had a good attitude. Only, 25.1% (n = 107) of the study sample had a good practice score.Conclusion About half of the study population had good knowledge and attitudes but evident poor practice of healthcare-seeking behaviour in the study sample. The identified deficiencies need to be addressed through targeted programs.
Spectral coherence of soil thermal conditions and a stochastic inverse solution for thermal conductivity in the shallow vadose zone of Quaternary gravel formation
Authors: Shih David Ching-Fang
Published: May 2023

Due to the heterogeneity in the unsaturated or vadose zone, it is challenging to represent the analytical mechanism and actual in-situ water content in the soil layer. However, in the shallow layers, thermal conditions quickly change with surface temperature evolution. It expects that the water content can, more or less, be affected by the in situ heat mechanism. This research, therefore, suggests a novel design to theoretically discover the thermal conditions, such as soil temperature, soil temperature gradient, and heat flux in the shallow Quaternary gravel layer at various depths using spectral analysis of temporal observations. In addition, this research proposes a stochastic inverse solution of thermal conductivity using spectral estimation of soil heat flux and temperature gradient. It suggests that the most apparent periodic fluctuations of the thermal condition are in the diurnal process for 24 hours. The soil temperature gradient and heat flux at 10, 30, 60, and 120 cm depths can catch soil temperature and air temperature changes to some degree in the frequency domain. The thermal conductivity ranges from about 0.41 to 5.44 W/(m°C) for the soil depths from 10 to 120 cm using the inverse spectral solution. Thus, using spectral analysis, assessing the soil layer's thermal conductivity and other thermal conditions becomes feasible and achievable.
A comparison of surgical procedure cognitive skills acquisition between the traditional apprenticeship and a digital approach
Authors: Motsumi Mpapho Joseph , Brand Martin , Lubbe irene , Mokgatlhe Lucky
Published: May 2023

Background: The apprenticeship model of surgical training is the gold standard worldwide. However, increasing evidence shows that its traditional method of teaching surgical procedures covers cognitive skills inadequately. Therefore, the traditional teaching method for surgical procedures may be liable for producing surgeons who are not fully proficient in cognitive decision-making. This study designed a digital teaching method for surgical procedure cognitive skills and compared it to the traditional teaching method.
Methods: This was a quantitative experimental study conducted in two phases. Participants were novice medical officers and general surgery residents at the Universities of Botswana and Pretoria. Ethical approval was obtained. The digital teaching method was designed using the ADDIE model and compared to the traditional teaching method. ADDIE is an iterative instructional design model composed of five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. A crossover-repeated-measures study design was used to determine the difference in knowledge gain and retention between the two teaching methods. A satisfaction level survey was also conducted.
Results: The digital teaching method for surgical procedure cognitive skills was designed and hosted on Moodle. Twenty-nine participants completed the study. The paired sample t-test showed that the mean differenced score for the digital teaching method (M = 3.59, SD = 1.48) was significantly greater than that of the traditional teaching method (M = 1.93, SD = 1.28), t (28) = -10.950, p < 0.001. Likewise, the mean differenced retention score for the digital teaching method (M = 2.96, SD = 1.480) was significantly higher than that of the traditional teaching method (M = 1.48, SD = 1.087). Seventy-two percent preferred the digital teaching method over the traditional one.
Conclusion: Students taught surgical procedure cognitive skills using the digital teaching method had better knowledge gain and retention than those taught using the traditional teaching method. Participants rated the digital teaching method highly compared to the traditional method. We recommend the adoption of the digital teaching method for teaching surgical procedure cognitive skills to produce surgeons competent in decision-making. The assumption is that this would lead to improved surgical outcomes.
The role of Interleukin-18 and interleukin-18 binding protein in K/BxN serum transfer- induced arthritis
Authors: Fauteux-Daniel Sebastien , Pich Laura M. Merlo , Girard-Guyonvarc’h Charlotte , Caruso Assunta , Rodriguez Emiliana , Gabay Cem
Published: May 2023

Background: Interleukin-18 is a proinflammatory cytokine, the activity of which is regulated by its natural inhibitor IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP). Elevated circulating levels of IL-18 have been observed in patients with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD), two conditions associated with dysregulated innate immune responses. This study examines the expression and function of IL-18 and IL-18BP in K/BxN serum transfer arthritis (STA), a model that is uniquely dependent on innate immune responses.
Methods: Naïve and STA wild-type (WT) mice were used to examine the articular levels of IL-18 and IL-18BP mRNA by RT-qPCR. The cellular sources of IL-18BP in the joints were determined by using Il18bp-tdTomato reporter knock-in mice. The incidence and severity of arthritis, including mRNA levels of different cytokines, were compared in IL-18BP or IL-18 knock-out (KO) mice and their WT littermates.
Results: IL-18 and IL-18BP mRNA levels were significantly increased in arthritic as compared to normal joints. Synovial neutrophils, macrophages and endothelial cells represented the cellular sources of IL-18BP in arthritic joints, whereas IL-18BP production was limited to endothelial cells in non-inflamed joints. The incidence and severity of arthritis was similar in IL-18BP KO and IL-18 KO compared to their WT littermates. Transcript levels of different inflammatory cytokines were not different in the two KO mouse lines compared to WT mice.
Conclusion: Although IL-18 and IL-18BP levels were increased in arthritic joints, our results show that the IL-18/IL-18BP balance is not involved in the regulation of STA.

Die Beteiligung von Patient:innen an medizinischer Forschung stellt einen neuen Trend der Citizen Science, der Forschungsbeteiligung von Lai:innen, dar und wird bspw. als Patient Science oder ‚Patientenbeteiligung‘ bezeichnet. Vor allem im Bereich chronischer Krankheiten sollen Patient:innen Alltagseinblicke mit ihrer Erkrankung ermöglichen sowie selbst am Forschungs-prozess beteiligt sein. Der Anspruch geht hierbei so weit, dass Patient:innen von der Formulierung der Forschungsfrage bis hin zur Interpretation der Ergebnisse involviert sind, da sie als Expert:innen ihrer Alltagsthemen einen großen Mehrwert für die Medizin liefern. In meiner Forschung zur Gestaltung der partizipativen Forschungsarbeit bin ich jedoch auf vier Spannungsverhältnisse gestoßen. Diese betreffen die klinische Taktung von wissenschaftlicher Forschung, die notwendigen Kompetenzen der Patient:innen zur Forschungsbeteiligung, die Nutzenerwartungen diverser Akteur:innen sowie die Rollenverteilung in der Forschungs-zusammenarbeit. Die Analyse dieser unterschiedlichen Spannungsverhältnisse ermöglicht eine Reflexion und Aushandlung, um den Forschungstrend der Patient Science weiterzuentwickeln.

Published: April 2023

In diesem Artikel werden die Praktiken des feministischen Kollektivs Minervas in Montevideo, Uruguay, vorgestellt und untersucht, wie Beteiligung aus ihrer Sicht gelebt und gestaltet und Wissen jenseits von cartesianischer Logik hergestellt wird. Meine Fokussierung auf die Rolle von Geschlecht in der Partizipation gründet hierbei auf der Annahme, dass Partizipationsprozesse gegendert sind. Es stellt sich ebenfalls die Frage, wie Beteiligung und deren Grenzen auch im Hinblick auf die eigene Forschung wirkt. Der Beitrag fordert dazu auf verletzliche, verantwortungsvolle und engagierte Anthropologien in Form von verkörperter Anthropologie zu produzieren. Dafür wird das Konzepts des Sentipensar vorgeschlagen, mit dem ein Prozess beschrieben wird, durch den wir Gedanken und Gefühle zusammenbringen und schließlich in einem Akt des Wissens und Handelns zusammenfließen lassen. Außerdem geht die Studie der Frage nach, ob die kollektiven, aktivistischen Erfahrungen von Minervas mit gesellschaftlicher Partizipation und die daraus resultierenden Transformationsprozesse auch für die Kulturanthropologie fruchtbar gemacht werden können.

Mellitus Type 2
Authors: Prabhakar Pranav Kumar , Batiha Gaber El-Saber
Published: May 2023

Diabetes is one of the lifelong chronic metabolic diseases which is prevalent
globally. There is a continuous rise in the number of people suffering from this disease with
time. It is characterized by hyperglycemia, which leads to severe damage to the body’s
system, such as blood vessels and nerves. Diabetes occurs due to the dysfunction of
pancreatic β -cell which leads to the reduction in the production of insulin or body cells
unable to use insulin produce efficiently. As per the data shared International diabetes
federation (IDF), there are around 415 million affected by this disease worldwide. There are
a number of hit targets available that can be focused on treating diabetes. There are many
drugs available and still under development for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Inhibition
of gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, fatty acid oxidation, and glucokinase activator is emerging
targets for type 2 diabetes treatment. Diabetes management can be supplemented with drug
intervention for obesity. The antidiabetic drug sale is the second-largest in the world, trailing
only that of cancer. The future of managing diabetes will be guided by research on various
novel targets and the development of various therapeutic leads, such as GLP-1 agonists,
DPP-IV inhibitors, and SGLT2 inhibitors that have recently completed their different phases
of clinical trials. Among these therapeutic targets associated with type 2 diabetes, this
review focused on some common therapeutic targets for developing novel drug candidates
of the newer generation with better safety and efficacy.
Investigations on Cylindrical Surrounding Double-gate (CSDG) Mosfet using
ALXGA1-XAS/INP: PT with LA2O3 Oxide Layer for Fabrication
Authors: Gowthaman Naveenbalaji , Srivastava Viranjay M.
Published: May 2023

Background/Introduction:

The Cylindrical Surrounding Double-Gate MOSFET has been
designed using Aluminium Gallium Arsenide in its arbitrary alloy form alongside Indium Phosphide
with Lanthanum Dioxide as a high-ƙ dielectric material.

Objective:

To conduct research on the novel application of AlxGa1-xAs/InP: Pt with La2O3 oxide layer in
the fabrication of Cylindrical Surrounding Double-gate (CSDG) MOSFET, with the ultimate goal of obtaining
patentable findings and developing intellectual property in the field. The heterostructure based
on the AlxGa1-xAs/InP: Pt has been used in the design and implementation of the MOSFET for RF applications.
Platinum serves as the gate material, which has higher electronic immunity toward the Short
Channel Effect and highlights semiconductor properties. The charge buildup is the main concern in the
field of MOSFET design when two different materials are considered for fabrication.

Methods:

The usage of 2 Dimensional Electron Gas has been outstanding in recent years to help the
electron buildup and charge carrier accumulation in the MOSFETs regime. Device simulation used for
the smart integral systems is an electronic simulator that uses the physical robustness and the mathematical
modeling of semiconductor heterostructures. In this research work, the fabrication method of Cylindrical
Surrounding Double Gate MOSFET has been discussed and realized. The scaling down of the
devices is essential to reduce the area of the chip and heat generation. By using these cylindrical structures,
the area of contact with the circuit platform is reduced since the cylinder can be laid down horizontally.

Results:

The coulomb scattering rate is observed to be 18.3 % lower than the drain terminal when compared
to the source terminal. Also, at x = 0.125 nm, the rate is 23.9 %, which makes it the lowest along
the length of the channel; at x = 1 nm, the rate is 1.4 % lesser than that of the drain terminal. A 1.4
A/mm2 high current density had been achieved in the channel of the device, which is significantly larger
than comparable transistors.

Conclusion:

The findings of this study reveal that the proposed cylindrical structures transistor, compared
to the conventional transistor, not only occupies a smaller area but also demonstrates enhanced
efficiency in RF applications. These results suggest the potential for patentable innovations in the field
of transistor design and fabrication, offering opportunities for intellectual property development and
commercialization.

Published: April 2023

This study aims to determine the effect of Audit Committee characteristics on the performance of the eleven insurance companies listed in Oman between 2015 and 2019. This study focuses on the audit committee meetings and their frequency, the size of the committee, their independence, and the knowledge or expertise they possess. After conducting data analysis on the specified dataset, the regression results revealed that ACSIZE is statistically significant at a p-value less than.05. This indicates that the size of an audit committee has a significant impact on an insurance company's performance. In addition, the ACINDE was statistically significant at p.05, demonstrating that the independence of an audit committee plays a significant role in determining the performance of a company. Moreover, the ACEXP variable had a p-value of less than 0.05, indicating that it is statistically significant. This can be interpreted as meaning that the frequency of meetings has a statistically significant impact on the performance of a company. The statistical significance of only three of the four variables was determined. The variable was excluded from the regression model because its p-value was greater than.05. Therefore, the three characteristics of audit committees in the Omani market have a significant impact on the performance of an insurance company, and senior management should ensure that audit committees have approximately four members, are fully independent to limit control by the firm's management, and have extensive financial experience in order to function effectively. This study will be very useful to financial practitioners and policymakers since it contains practical ideas and recommendations. The research results may also contribute to the creation and implementation of strategic policies for improving corporate governance practices with the goal of maximizing profit and wealth.

The aim of this study is to compare levels of self-concept among school-aged children who stutter and their normal peers according to Socio-demographic variables. Sixty school-aged children (30 stuttering children, and 30 non-stuttering peers) were purposively sampled through the snowball approach. 10 persons out of the 70 were subsequently pulled out of the study because of their history of hearing difficulties. Hence, 30 stuttering children, and 30 non-stuttering peers were finally selected for the study. A descriptive study was designed to compare levels of self-concept among school-aged children who stutter and their normal peers according to Socio-demographic variables. Using IBM SPSS v.26, the study utilized a t-test to determine the difference between the two groups. A p-value level of statistical significance of<.05 was likewise considered. Results showed that there was a statistically significant difference at the significance level of 0.01 between the mean scores of the stuttering (M= 19.57, SD=4.54) and normal children (M=24.37, SD=1.92) with higher rates for the normal. There was no statistically significant difference between the mean score of the male (n=15, M=19.57, SD=1.54) and female (n=15, M=19.67, SD=1.03) stuttering children.

Using pnictides MnAs and germaindes Mn0.89Cr0.11NiGe as an example, the transformation of thermobaric features of their magnetic characteristics at high pressures is considered. A unified approach is used to describe paramagnetic (PM) structural transitions of the displacement type with a change in the symmetry PM(P6_3/mmc)-PM(Pnma) from hexagonal to orthorhombic. It is shown that the competition between the parameters of the structural and magnetic orders in both systems manifests itself differently in the stabilization and alternation of the so-called high-spin and low-spin magnetically ordered states initiated by pressure. As a consequence, the structural contribution in these systems weakens (MnAs) or enhances Mn0.89Cr0.11NiGe the giant magnetocaloric effect in the temperature-baric region of the first-order magnetostructural phase transitions. Keywords: structural phase transitions of the displacement type, magnetostructural phase transitions, helimagnetism, ferromagnetism, high spin-low spin states, direct magnetocaloric effect.

BACKGROUND

Despite guidelines recommending the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in certain patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), they are not being prescribed for many of these patients. Web-based continuing medical education (CME) patient simulations have been used to identify clinicians’ practice gaps and improve clinical decision-making as measured within a simulation, but the impact of this format on real-world treatment has not been researched.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a simulation-based CME intervention on real-world use of GLP-1 RAs by endocrinologists and primary care physicians.

METHODS

Two evaluation phases of the CME simulation were conducted: phase I, the CME simulation phase, was a paired, pre-post study of 435 physician learners in the United States; and phase II, the real-world phase, was a retrospective, matched case-control study of 157 of the 435 physicians who had claims data available for the study period.

RESULTS

Phase I CME results showed a 29 percentage point increase in correct decisions from pre- to postfeedback (178/435, 40.9% to 304/435, 69.9%; P<.001) in selecting treatment that addresses both glycemic control and cardiovascular event protection. Phase II results showed that 39 of 157 (24.8%) physicians in the intervention group increased use of GLP-1 RAs, compared to 20 of 157 (12.7%) in the comparison group. Being in the intervention group predicted GLP-1 RA use after education (odds ratio 4.49; 95% CI 1.45-13.97; P=.001).

CONCLUSIONS

A web-based CME simulation focused on secondary prevention of cardiovascular events in a patient with T2D was associated with increased use of evidence-based treatment selection in the real world.
