Tendo em vista o papel importante que os enfermeiros desempenham no processo de vacinação, o objetivo do presente estudo foi examinar a perspectiva desses profissionais em duas Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBSs), que utilizam diferentes modelos de agendamento (Carve-Out e Acesso Avançado), com relação a como aproveitar as oportunidades de discutir a imunização durante o atendimento aos usuários que procuram ajuda sem agendamento prévio. Para realizar a comparação entre as unidades, foram utilizados dados secundários dos relatórios do Sistema de Informação do Programa Nacional de Imunizações e do e-SUS AB, no período de janeiro a dezembro de 2019. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com os enfermeiros dessas unidades sendo utilizada a Matriz SWOT para análise do ambiente interno. Com relação à escuta inicial, pode-se observar uma superioridade da UBS que segue o modelo de Acesso Avançado, porém não houve diferenças significativas quanto ao quantitativo de imunizações. A estratégia para diminuir as Oportunidades Perdidas de Vacinação (OPVs) mais citada, foi a abordagem do usuário no momento da procura na “demanda espontânea”. No entanto, foi evidenciada como barreira a falta da caderneta de vacinação, já que o usuário não estaria na unidade para essa demanda e o pouco tempo disponível. Não houve diferenças significativas entre a percepção dos enfermeiros atuantes nos diferentes modelos de agendamento, Carve-Out e Acesso Avançado, no que se refere a oportunizar abordagens sobre imunização durante o atendimento à demanda espontânea.
An anagram of the "unknown poet" in K.K. Vaginov's novel "The Goat Song"
Authors: Shukurov Dmitrii Leonidovich
Published: March 2024

The article analyzes the hidden semantic associations, allusions and reminiscences associated with the artistic technique of anagramming the surname of the main character of K.K. Vaginov's novel "The Goat Song" (1928) – the "unknown poet" Agafonov. The subject of our research attention was the linguistic and cultural complex of associations as part of an incomplete anagram of the writer's surname (Vaginov) in the family "mask" of the autobiographical hero (Agafonov). Special attention is paid to the analysis of the phenomenological structure of this image, based on elementary semantic connections with the formally absent linguistic and cultural complex of the reconstructed context: the "Dionysian" component (the motif of the "unknown god" in the Pradionysian cults); the cultural and semantic stereotype of the Silver Age (in particular, the features of the symbolist "poet-theurgist" are obvious); the Nietzschean image "the artist of intoxication and sleep"; and finally, with the ancient Greek etymology of the word-concept ἀγάπη ( love, Christian meals of love) in the structure of the surname of the character in question – Agafonov. The anagramming technique is presented from the perspective of the artistic teleology of Vagin's work and is considered by us within the framework of the methodological guidelines of historical poetics (O.M. Freudenberg) and selectively applied methods of deconstructivist analysis. As part of the analysis of the phenomenological structure of the image of the "unknown poet", we sought, using a wide range of interpretative possibilities of the Vagin text, to demonstrate the hidden semantic structures associated with the anagram of the surname of the main character of the novel – the "unknown poet" Agafonov. The main result of the conducted research is the conclusion that the anagramming technique is presented by K. K. Vaginov in the perspective of the artistic teleology of the novel narrative, which is based on the principle of multifunctional interaction between the author and the character. A special research contribution to the development of the presented topic is an indication of specific structural and semantic complexes linking the surname of the hero of the Vaginovsky novel with a wide linguistic and cultural tradition – from antiquity (Plato's "Feast" dialogue) to the modern era ("The Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music" by F. Nietzsche).

Authors: Tsoka Kurai Valerie , Kgole Mamokoma Becky , Richards Guy
Published: March 2024

Objectives:

There is a high incidence of lung diseases but very little data in South Africa relating to bronchoscopy practice. The objectives of the study are to determine the diagnostic yield, indications, and complications as well as determine the effectiveness of biopsy and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in making diagnoses of infectious and non-infectious diseases.

Materials and Methods:

Six hundred and ninety-two patients were identified and 647 cases were analyzed due to 45 cases with inadequate data for analyses. A single-center retrospective cross-sectional review of patients who underwent bronchoscopy between January 2015 and December 2019 was conducted at the Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital.

Results:

The epidemiology of the subjects showed a significant male predominance (64.14%), with a mean age of 55.9 years of age. The most common indication was suspected malignancy, followed by non-resolving pneumonia, 63.99%, and 14.53%, respectively. A total of 120 (18.55%) patients were diagnosed with a malignancy on biopsy and 83 (12.83%) on BAL. Of all bronchoscopies performed, 85.94% had no complications during or after bronchoscopy, whereas 10.97% were complicated with bleeding.

Conclusion:

This audit revealed that flexible bronchoscopy is safe and effective and associated with minimal risk. This study revealed the use of bronchoscopy in diagnosing lung malignancies/carcinomas and highlights the necessity of the availability of bronchoscopy.

Authors: Hidayati Rizka Nabillah Nur , Mulyaningtyas Rahmawati
Published: March 2024

The decline in morale that occurs in the next generation of the nation is increasing. Character education can be done by anyone, one of which is an Indonesian teacher. The Indonesian teacher has the task of shaping the character of students because basically the Indonesian teacher has a role in the development of student communication. Thus, it is necessary to make efforts to instill character education in students by Indonesian teachers. The research method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method. Data collection techniques used are observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the efforts made by Indonesian teachers in shaping the character of students at MTsN 5 Blitar are carried out in four ways, namely through learning activities, exemplary activities, strengthening activities, and habituation activities. The obstacles faced by Indonesian teachers in instilling character education come from environmental influences and come from students themselves. And alternative solutions used by Indonesian teachers at MTsN 5 Blitar are teachers synergizing with all madrasah and family parties, strengthening school culture, teachers always giving moral messages.
An Alternative Procedure for a Win-win African-Swiss Cooperation in Gold Production in Africa
Authors: Mousavi Aliyar
Published: March 2024

The growth of Africa as a major gold (Au) exporter can not only strengthen economic ties with other parts of the world, but also lead to solutions to global industrial challenges, and the only way to stop gold smuggling out of gold-producing African countries seems to be having multiple refineries in Africa, for which developing gold-producing African countries might need technological assistance provided by a more developed country, especially Switzerland. In this Note, the chemistry of gold mining was discussed, and the idea is conveyed that if aqua regia is used as a main reagent in both gold mining and the electrolytic refinement of gold, then the two systems of gold mining and gold refining can be coupled industrially and geographically, and such a coupling can facilitate the growth of home-grown gold refineries in gold-producing African countries. It is also discussed that with Swiss companies finding it economical to properly use aqua regia in Africa as described, a win-win African-Swiss cooperation will be established that will benefit both the Swiss companies and gold-producing African countries. Further, it is concluded that the addressed cooperation will be accompanied by four of the seventeen goals called ‘Sustainable Development Goals’ by the United Nations.
QSARtuna: an automated QSAR modelling platform for molecular property prediction in drug design
Authors: Mervin Lewis , Voronov Alexey , Kabeshov Mikhail , Engkvist Ola
Published: March 2024

Machine-learning (ML) and Deep-Learning (DL) approaches to predict the molecular properties of small molecules are increasingly deployed within the design-make-test-analyse (DMTA) drug design cycle to predict molecular properties of interest. Despite this uptake, there are only a few automated packages to aid their development and deployment that also support uncertainty estimation, model explainability and other key aspects of model usage. This represents a key unmet need within the field and the large number of molecular representations and algorithms (and associated parameters) means it is non-trivial to robustly optimise, evaluate, reproduce, and deploy models. Here we present QSARtuna, a molecule property prediction modelling pipeline, written in Python and utilising the Optuna, Scikit-learn, RDKit and ChemProp packages, which enables the efficient and automated comparison between molecular representations and machine learning models. The platform was developed considering the increasingly important aspect of model uncertainty quantification and explainability by design. We provide details for our framework and provide illustrative examples to demonstrate the capability of the software when applied to simple molecular property, reaction/reactivity prediction and DNA encoded library enrichment analyses. We hope that the release of QSARtuna will further spur innovation in automatic ML modelling and provide a platform for education of best practises in molecular property modelling. The code to the Qptuna framework is made freely available via GitHub.
Discovery of the final primitive Frank-Kasper phase of clathrate hydrates
Authors: Muromachi Sanehiro , Takeya Satoshi
Published: March 2024

In weakly bound materials such as water, one of the three primitive Frank-Kasper (FK) phases, the Z phase, is long absent due to the relatively unstable framework. The Z phase in clathrate hydrate, which is known as the HS-I structure, has now been discovered by precise tuning of the molecular guest structure. In the crystal structure, the never stabilized combination water cage of two 15-hedra and two 14-hedra formed with its original symmetries, providing sufficient gas capacity to the 12-hedral cages. With the discovery of the final FK clathrate hydrate, guest design now enables engineering of weak interactions in any mix of the three, illuminating how to leverage properties of clathrates in the broadest sense.
Advancing Organic Photoredox Catalysis: Mechanistic Insight through Time-Resolved Spectroscopy
Authors: Huxter Vanessa
Published: March 2024

The rapid development of light-activated organic photoredox catalysts has led to the proliferation of powerful synthetic chemical strategies with industrial and pharmaceutical applications. Despite the advancement in synthetic approaches, a detailed understanding of the mechanisms governing these reactions has lagged. Time-resolved optical spectroscopy provides a method to track organic photoredox catalysis processes and reveal the energy pathways that drive reaction mechanisms. These measurements are sensitive to key processes in organic photoredox catalysis such as charge or energy transfer, lifetimes of singlet or triplet states and solvation dynamics. The sensitivity and specificity of ultrafast spectroscopic measurements can provide a new perspective on the mechanisms of these reactions, including electron-transfer events, the role of solvent, and the short lifetimes of radical intermediates.
Direct Glycan Analysis of Biological Samples and Intact Glycoproteins by Integrating Machine Learning Driven- Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) and Boronic Acid Array
Authors: Hu Qiang , Wu Hung-Jen
Published: March 2024

Frequent monitoring of glycan patterns is a critical step for studying glycan-mediated cellular processes. However, the current glycan analysis tools are resource-intensive and less suitable for routine use in standard laboratories. We developed a novel glycan detection platform by integrating surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), boronic acid (BA) receptors, and machine learning (ML) tools. This sensor monitors the molecular fingerprint spectra of BA binding to cis-diol-containing glycans. Different types of BA could yield different stereoselective reactions toward different glycans and exhibit unique vibrational spectra. By integrating the Raman spectra collected from different BA receptors, the structural information can be enriched, eventually improving the accuracy of glycan classification and quantification. Here, we established a SERS-based sensor incorporating multiple different BA receptors. This sensing platform could directly analyze the biological samples, including the whole milk and intact glycoproteins (fetuin and asialofetuin), without tedious glycan release and purification steps. The results demonstrate the platform's ability to classify milk oligosaccharides with remarkable classification accuracy, despite the presence of other non-glycan constituents in the background. This sensor could also directly quantify sialylation levels of fetuin/asialofetuin mixture without glycan release procedures. Moreover, by selecting appropriate BA receptors, the sensor exhibits an excellent performance of differentiating between α2,3 and α2,6 linkages of sialic acids. This low-cost, rapid, and highly accessible sensor will provide the scientific community with an invaluable tool for routine glycan screening in standard laboratories.

Authors: Kano Takashi , Uozumi Ryusei , Maruyama Toshifumi , Tada Norihiro , Itoh Akichika
Published: March 2024

A new synthesis method of tripeptide analogs with an aminobitriazole skeleton was proposed. The method involves assembling three amino acid-derived modules at the amino group site and onto a triisopropylsilyl diynyl benziodoxolone by cop-per-catalyzed electrophilic diynylation of amino acid-derived sulfonamides, chemoselective azide–alkyne cycloadditions with amino acid-derived azides, and deprotection. Various complex aminobitriazoles substituted with pyrene, nucleoside, and N-acetylglucosamine were also synthesized. The produced aminobitriazoles have multiple centers and a C–N axial chirality.

Authors: Ponou Simeon
Published: March 2024

The new ternary Zintl phase, Na13Sn26Bi, was synthesized by combination of the elements and, its crystal structure refined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. Its crystallizes in a triclinic cell, space group P-1 (No. 2, Z = 1) with a = 9.0942(1) Å (alpha = 112.008(1)°), b = 11.2637(2) Å ( beta= 99.793(1)°), c = 13.2573(2) Å (gamma = 101.455(1)°) and V = 1188.46(3) Å3. According to the Zintl Klemm concept, its structure consists of the covalently bonded [Sn26]10– polyanions that are directly interconnected to form a new 3D zeolite-like opened framework and they interact with anionic Bi3– located in its largest channel, through electron-rich three-centre four-electron (3c-4e) bonds. There are three types of channels of different size, on which the two are occupied by either Na cations in the pentagonal shape channels or Na and Bi atoms in the largest clover-like shape channels. DFT first principles electronic band structure calculations were conducted on the idealized fully ordered model Na13Sn26Bi to understand the chemical bonding and the structure directing factors. It confirms that the title compound is charge balanced with optimized chemical bonding as predicted by implementing the Zintl-Klemm concept and assuming electron-rich 3c-4e bonding between Sn and Bi.

Published: March 2024

INTRODUCTION: More than half of Nigeria’s children under the age of five are at risk of poor development that may be linked to parenting practices.  OBJECTIVE: This study explores parenting practices among mothers in Obubra Local Government Area of Cross River State. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Using a Cross-Sectional descriptive design, focus group discussions were held at three communities in Obubra with mothers aged 18 and older. With a sample size of 19, each FGD lasted about 60-90 minutes. Audio tapes were transcribed and data were analyzed to generate themes. Ethical principles were duly observed. RESULTS: Themes influencing parenting included pre- and post-pregnancy support, social support from female family members, and religious, and cultural practices. Participants attended ante-natal clinics but some gave birth at home or at a Traditional Birth Attendant’s (TBA). Some believed that parenting skills are acquired as a child while observing one’s own mother, and practicing with younger siblings. Others said they acquired parenting skills while parenting their own children. Female family members helped mothers with everyday caregiving responsibilities. Corporal punishment was widely practiced. Other harmful cultural practices such as female genital mutilation were on the decline.  CONCLUSION:  Culture, religion, and reliance on female family members play a strong role in parenting, presenting both positive and negative attributes. Using appropriate behavioural change theories, evidence can be provided to these support systems to aid mothers to acquire skills and information necessary for positive parenting practices.

You're Not Really Black, You're Not Really White
Authors: Preston-Roedder Erica
Published: March 2024

The distinctive experiences of multiracial people have been underexplored in philosophy. For instance, it is not uncommon for a multiracial person to anticipate or encounter racial denials. A racial denial occurs when a person’s assertion of their racial identity, e.g. “I am Black,” is challenged or called into doubt. While monoracial individuals can generally assert their race without being challenged (e.g. “I am Black” or “I am White”), a multiracial person may be met with the rejoinder, “You aren’t really Black” or “You aren’t really White.” Utilizing Miranda Fricker’s work on epistemic injustice, this essay argues that some racial denials arise because our existing racial vocabulary has gaps, and that these gaps can be traced to unjust origins. Ultimately, this essay’s aim is threefold. First, it aims to understand the nature of racial denials. Second, it demonstrates that attending to the lives multiracial people can yield important insights into race and epistemic injustice. Third, by focusing on multiracial experience, this essay aims to redress — in a limited way — the marginalization of multiracial lives within philosophical theory.
Remaining True to Ourselves
Authors: Franklin-Hall Andrew
Published: March 2024

It is common to think that, in making choices for others, we should consider their values. But do the current interests of people with dementia ever depend on what they used to value?  Or do their interests depend solely on what matters to them from now on?  Two approaches are especially prominent in the philosophical literature. Some believe that the capacity to value or significantly care about things bestows a certain standing on the person’s present perspective, making it inappropriate to appeal to her former values until the person no longer has this capacity. Others hold that a person’s past attitudes can never affect what is good for him now.  On the “Revision Model” I defend, we should ordinarily recognize a person’s current values as authoritative in defining a person’s interests, because these represent his most up-to-date revision of his earlier views. However, if a person has lost the ability to comprehend his former values, then we cannot treat his current perspective as a genuine revision, since he is not answerable for the fact that his values have changed. Having never truly revised those former values, we should recognize their enduring relevance in defining his interests, insofar as they remain relevant to his life.  This, however, is consistent with recognizing that the person’s interests may also depend on some of his current values and concerns as well.
Paternalism, Supported Decision-Making and Expressive Respect
Authors: Barclay Linda
Published: March 2024

It has been argued by disability advocates that supported decision-making must replace surrogate, or substituted, decision-making for people with cognitive disabilities. From a moral perspective surrogate decision-making it is said to be an indefensible form of paternalism. At the heart of this argument against surrogate decision-making is the belief that such paternalistic action expresses something fundamentally disrespectful about those upon whom it is imposed: that they are inferior, deficient or child-like in some way. Contrary to this widespread belief, I will argue that surrogate decision-making often expresses more respect for people with life-long, ‘severe’ or ‘profound’ cognitive disabilities than does the adoption of supported decision-making. Specifically, I argue that in some cases supported decision-making can arguably express that people with cognitive disabilities lack equal moral value. I also argue that supported decision-making for people with profound intellectual disabilities can arguably express that they lack complex and rich inner lives. If our aim is to ensure our behaviour and practices express respect for people with life-long cognitive disabilities, then sometimes surrogate rather than supportive decision-making will be a better option.

Socket TCP adalah abstraksi yang digunakan aplikasi untuk mengirim dan menerima data melalui koneksi antar dua host dalam jaringan komputer. Jaringan yang biasa kita gunakan bersifat publik yang sangat rentan akan penyadapan data. Masalah ini dapat teratasi dengan menggunakan algoritma kriptografi pada socket TCP, salah satunya menggunakan algoritma RSA. Tingkat keamanan algoritma RSA standar memiliki celah keamanan pada kunci public ataupun privat yang berasal dari inputan 2 bilangan prima saat pembangkitan kunci. Beberapa penelitian telah dilakukan untuk mengembangkan algoritma RSA, namun hasil dari penelitian tersebut membuat performa dari algoritma RSA menjadi lebih lambat. Peningkatkan performa dapat menggunakan RNG LCG pada pembangkitankunci RSA. RNG LCG memiliki kelebihan yang utama pada segi kecepatannya. RNG LCG dapat menghasilkan bilangan prima yang berasal dari inputan nama yang tidak ditemukan pada RNG lainnya. Hasil pengujian performa waktu pembangkitan kunci, enkripsi, dekripsi dengan panjang karakter mulai dari 40 hingga 81920 menunjukkan bahwa algoritma improvisasi RSA menggunakan RNG LCG lebih baik dibandingkan algoritma RSA. Pengujian kemanan menggunakan known plaintext attack dan fermat factorization menunjukkan bahwa algoritma improvisasi RSA menggunakan RNG LCG lebih baik dibandingkan algoritma RSA.
