Authors: Lee Hyunjong , Okello Odongo Francis Ngome , Kim Gi-Yeop , Song Kyung , Choi Si-Young
Published: June 2021

Growing demands for comprehending complicated nano-scale phenomena in atomic resolution has attracted in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques for understanding their dynamics. However, simple to safe TEM sample preparation for in-situ observation has been limited. Here, we suggested the optical microscopy based micro-manipulating system for transferring TEM samples. By adopting our manipulator system, several types of samples from nano-wires to plate-like thin samples were transferred on micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS) chip in a single step. Furthermore, the control of electrostatic force between the sample and the probe tip is found to be a key role in transferring process.

Circumstances of infection with HCV in selected Polish provinces
Authors: Sierpińska Lidia
Published: June 2021

Introduction. In Poland, approximately 730,000 people are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV), which is nearly 2% of the total population, and about 170 million worldwide - 3% of the global population.  Approximately 70-80% people infected with hepatitis C virus develop chronic hepatitis. Knowledge of the circumstances associated with the risk of infection with HCV is very important in the prophylaxis of hepatitis C.   Materials and Method. The study was conducted during August 2014 - May 2018 in            a group of 220 patients infected with HCV by the method of a diagnostic survey, using an author-constructed questionnaire. Results. The majority of respondents (138; 62.7%) did not know the circumstances of infection with HCV, whereas more than 1/3 of them (82; 37.3%) had knowledge concerning their infection. The respondents reported that the infection could have been mainly associated with a surgical procedure, followed by blood transfusion. The remaining circumstances of infection were: dental treatment, childbirth, organ transplantation, dialysis, treatment in a conservative ward, occupational exposure, plasmapheresis, as well as tattoo and narcotic injection. Self-reported state of respondents’ knowledge concerning hepatitis C was mainly on the mean level (160; 72.7%). About ¾ of respondents (173; 78.6%) did not consider themselves to be disabled due to hepatitis C. Conclusions. Health education is recommended in the population of adults about the risk of contracting HCV in treatment facilities and other places, where there is the transmission of blood-borne infections, as well as concerning the essence of chronic hepatitis C.
Comparative analysis of neonatal complications after cesarean section to M. Stark and modified cesarean section in premature birth and congenital malformations of the fetus
Authors: Gladchuk I. Z. , Herman Yu. V. , Hrygurko D. O.
Published: June 2021

The urgency of the problem lies in the large proportion of premature babies in the structure of perinatal morbidity and mortality. According to the WHO, the frequency of premature birth in the world varies widely - from 4.5% to 16% [1, 2, 5]. It is known that for premature infants, children with congenital malformations in the presence of obstetric indications is more careful surgical delivery [4, 5].Therefore, the improvement of the technique of abdominal delivery in premature birth and congenital malformations of the fetus creates a certain additional reserve for improving perinatal outcomes

Authors: Mishalov V. D. , Varfolomeiev Y. A.
Published: June 2021

Introduction and purpose. Electroshock devices are a type of non-lethal weapon and are widely used. The systematized data concerning the forensic medical assessment of injuries caused by electric shock devices are extremely limited. The purpose of the study was to increase the efficiency of forensic assessment of injuries caused by electroshock devices by using the methods of elemental analysis, namely, X-ray fluorescence spectral analysis. Methods. During the experiment, the electric discharges were applied to the skin flaps using electric shock devices under two conditions, namely, in close contact of the ESD electrodes with the skin and from a distance of 3-5 mm. A macroscopic study of skin changes obtained due to the electric impact of electric shock devices was carried out, as well as X-ray fluorescence spectral analysis to establish qualitative and quantitative indicators of the chemical elemental composition of the studied objects. Results. It was found that under the condition of causing damage from a distance the formation of macroscopically visible changes resembling the typical electric burn was observed. No increase in the concentration of chemical elements (metals) is determined in all samples of biological material after the impact of electric discharges of ESD in this condition. Under the condition of close contact of the electrodes of electric shock devices with the surface of the skin no macroscopically distinguishable lesions were found on the skin. The XRF spectral analysis revealed metal deposits in the areas of skin flaps that were subject to ESD. Conclusion. The XRF spectral analysis can be useful tool for objective confirmation of the action of electroshock devices.

The known unknowns of assisted hydration at the end of life
Authors: Kingdon Arjun , Spathis Anna , Bowers Ben , Barclay Stephen
Published: June 2021

Much is unknown about assisted hydration at the end of life: why rates of usage vary so highly between institutions, cultures and countries, what beneficial or burdensome effects this treatment has, whether there is a place for subcutaneous hydration in the home setting, and how best to communicate about this difficult topic with dying people and their families. In light of a recently published systematic review concerning the impact of assisted hydration at the end of life, this article explores these questions and related issues, concluding that individualisation and shared decision-making are essential aspects of high-quality end-of-life care.
Lights, bats, and buildings: investigating the factors influencing roosting sites and habitat use by bats in Grand Teton National Park
Authors: Cole Hunter J. , Toth Cory A. , Barber Jesse R.
Published: June 2021

Free-flying bats are highly affected by artificial night lighting, causing individuals to either 1) gather in unnaturally high densities around the light sources to exploit insects, or 2) travel increased distances to avoid light exposure. Similarly, nocturnal insects are disproportionately attracted to night lighting, trapping them until they die of exhaustion. The advent of new lighting technology which may decrease the impacts of night lighting on bats and insects by primarily producing light at wavelengths these animals are not sensitive to (i.e. in the red portion of the spectrum) is promising, however no studies have shown this at a large scale, and not in North America. Similarly, many studies on the effects of lights on bats, in general, have been on European species, and thus our overall understanding of how North American species are affected is low. Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, provides an excellent natural system to study the effects of lights on bat behavior, as well as to test possible mitigation methods, as the park supports a large community of over a dozen species, as well as sizeable human infrastructure that generates night light. From June through September, 2019, we undertook a large-scale, blocked experiment examining bat activity and space use in Colter Bay Village under both traditional street-lighting, as well as new “bat friendly” street lighting. Using both passive echolocation records and radiotelemetry, we collected data that will allow us to examine the ability of red LED streetlights to mitigate artificial light’s negative impacts on bats and insects.

Forecasting eco-evolutionary dynamics in the Northern Blue butterfly (2019 field season)
Authors: Gompert Zachariah , Lucas Lauren
Published: June 2021

Natural selection can drive rapid evolutionary change, particularly in human-altered habitats. Rapid adaptation to global change requires standing genetic variation for ecologically important traits, but at present little is known about how much relevant genetic variation most populations possess. With this in mind, we began a long term study of genome-wide molecular evolution in a series of natural butterfly populations in the Greater Yellowstone Area in 2012 to quantify the contribution of environment-dependent natural selection to evolution in these butterfly populations, and determine whether selection varies enough across space and time to maintain variation that could facilitate adaptation to global change. In 2019, we visited 11 focal populations to collect samples for DNA and plant chemistry, estimate population sizes (mark-release-recapture methods), and survey arthropod communities at the sites. Our analyses are ongoing, and this is a preliminary report, but thus far we have found that census population sizes are much higher than contemporary effective population sizes (though these metrics are highly correlated), and that both are independent of genetic diversity levels. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that selection plays a central role in eco-evolutionary dynamics in this system.

Published: June 2021

Cyperus prophyllatus, an endangered new species of Cyperus (Cyperaceae) from an aquatic ecosystem of the Atlantic Forest, Espírito Santo State, southeastern Brazil, is described and illustrated. The spikelet morphology of Cyperus prophyllatus is unique among the c. 950 species of Cyperus in having both a conspicuous spikelet prophyll and a corky rachilla articulation, which remain persistent at the base of the spikelet after disarticulation. Our molecular phylogenetic data support the placement of C. prophyllatus in the C3 Cyperus Grade and more precisely in the clade representing Cyperus sect. Oxycaryum, which also includes C. blepharoleptos and C. gardneri. Anatomical and (micro)morphological analyses corroborate the phylogenetic results, provide a better understanding of ecology and taxonomy, as well as reveal compatibility of structures with survival and dispersion in aquatic environments. A distribution map, table with distinctive characters of allied species, and conservation status are made available.

Background

Active parent participation in neonatal care and collaboration between parents and professionals during infant hospitalization in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is beneficial for infants and their parents. A tool is needed to support parents and to study the effects and implementation of parent-partnered models of neonatal care.

Methods

We developed and psychometrically evaluated a tool measuring active parent participation and collaboration in neonatal care within six domains: Daily Care, Medical Care, Acquiring Information, Parent Advocacy, Time Spent with Infant and Closeness and Comforting the Infant. Items were generated in focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with professionals and parents. The tool was completed at NICU-discharge by 306 parents (174 mothers and 132 fathers) of preterm infants. Subsequently, we studied structural validity with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), construct validity, using the Average Variance Extracted and Heterotrait-Monotrait ratio of correlations, and hypothesis testing with correlations and univariate linear regression. For internal consistency we calculated composite reliability (CR). We performed multiple imputations by chained equations for missing data.

Results

A 31 item tool for parent participation and collaboration in neonatal care was developed. CFA revealed high factor loadings of items within each domain. Internal consistency was 0.558 to 0.938. Convergent validity and discriminant validity were strong. Higher scores correlated with less parent depressive symptoms (r = -0.141, 95%CI -0.240; -0.029, p = 0.0141), less impaired parent-infant bonding (r = -0.196, 95%CI -0.302; -0.056, p<0.0001), higher parent self-efficacy (r = 0.228, 95%CI 0.117; 0.332, p<0.0001), and higher parent satisfaction (r = 0.197, 95%CI 0.090; 0.308, p = 0.001). Parents in a family integrated care model had higher scores than in standard care (beta 6.020, 95%CI 4.144; 7.895, p<0.0001) and mothers scored higher than fathers (beta 2.103,95%CI 0.084; 4.121, p = 0.041).

Conclusion

The CO-PARTNER tool explicitly measures parents’ participation and collaboration with professionals in neonatal care incorporating their unique roles in care provision, leadership, and connection to their infant. The tool consists of 31 items within six domains with good face, content, construct and structural validity.
Purchasing under threat: Changes in shopping patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Schmidt Sebastian , Benke Christoph , Pané-Farré Christiane A.
Published: June 2021

The spreading of COVID-19 has led to panic buying all over the world. In this study, we applied an animal model framework to elucidate changes in human purchasing behavior under COVID-19 pandemic conditions. Purchasing behavior and potential predictors were assessed in an online questionnaire format (N = 813). Multiple regression analyses were used to evaluate the role of individually Perceived Threat of COVID-19, anxiety related personality traits (trait-anxiety, intolerance of uncertainty) and the role of media exposure in predicting quantity and frequency of purchasing behavior. High levels of Perceived Threat of COVID-19 were associated significantly with a reported reduction in purchasing frequency (b = -.24, p < .001) and an increase in the quantity of products bought per purchase (b = .22, p < .001). These results are comparable to observed changes in foraging behavior in rodents under threat conditions. Higher levels of intolerance of uncertainty (b = .19, p < .001) and high extend of media exposure (b = .27, p < .001) were positively associated with Perceived Threat of COVID-19 and an increase in purchasing quantity. This study contributes to our understanding of aberrated human purchasing behavior and aims to link findings from animal research to human behavior beyond experimental investigations.

Authors: Xiulin Ma , Yujuan Jia , Chenyu Fan , Jing Liang
Published: June 2021

With the in-depth development of online learning, especially the large-scale popularization of online learning during the COVID-19 prevention period in 2020, some problems have gradually emerged in the online learning process: students' learning motivation is reduced, and some students have a sense of loneliness and burnout, which leads to the unsustainable learning process. Based on the pre survey of teachers and related literature analysis, this study preliminarily divides the factors affecting students' online learning into four aspects: teacher teaching, autonomous learning, teacher-student interaction, and learning effect. A student oriented questionnaire is designed to investigate the online learning environment and students' learning behavior, and then teachers are interviewed to determine the key factors affecting the quality of current online learning: excessive online live broadcast platforms, insufficient management of learning process, lack of teaching design of some teachers, lack of supervision and feedback in the autonomous learning process, insufficient interaction of learning process, etc. Based on the above survey conclusions and the teaching practice experience of the team, this paper puts forward some suggestions, such as unifying the live broadcast platform and improving its performance and function, enhancing the process management of online learning, improving teachers' online teaching literacy, and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, in order to provide ideas and reference for online learning designers.

Authors: Jose Jayaron
Published: June 2021

Integration of technology especially ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) has been inevitable in the field of ELT for over many decades across the globe in general, and Arab world and Sultanate of Oman in particular. In line with the increasing trend of technology use in ELT, the study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of technological integration in improving students’ linguistic accuracy in writing in EFL classrooms in Oman. The experimental study was administered for a period of one semester among 56 students (N=56) at University of Technology and Applied Sciences, Al Musanna (UTAS-A) in Oman by means of online blog and forum treatments. The students were divided in to two groups – blog group (N=28) and forum group (N=28). While the former engaged themselves in online Blog writing asynchronously, the latter involved in online forum writing (discussions) synchronously. The learners’ performance was assessed through a pre-test and a post-test; an interview was administered to gauge the qualitative aspect of the study; consequently, the quantitative and qualitative data was analysed statistically. 

Therefore, study has concluded that EFL linguistic accuracy of students treated with online forum and blogs improved over time, and forum group demonstrated better performance than blog group.
Intensity of Khasi Production: Understanding the Challenges of Modern Agriculture System in Betel Leaf Cultivation
Authors: Choudhury Farhana Jhuma , Haque Md. Ashraful
Published: June 2021

The intensive agriculture system is prominent in the mainstream production technique of Bangladesh. The paper illustrates the contests of the traditional production system of Khasi about mainstream social and economic expectations of resource use. The specific Khasi adaptation process and the patterned dependency on available environmental resources can be observed in the traditional Khasi production practices. Meanwhile, the logic on the need for intensive production has been rising in the changing socio-economic resource maximization process towards sustainability. The impact of the mainstream trends of agriculture practices on a small-scale economy has been analyzed here with the changes in labor mobility, mechanism of labor control, production cost, and hierarchy issues of the traditional production system. The research findings reflect that modernity initiatives have changed the social and natural support system in production, and changes occur in the system through the market-induced priority of development. The production process is trending towards intensive cultivation. Whether a generalized community, i.e., dependent on multiple natural yielding, diversified forest resources, and social value-oriented cultivation system, can continue the traditional living in a staple food dominated mainstream agro-economy. The study shows that intensive production is growing in the traditional production field of Khasi with modern technologies. As the ongoing production process is found segmented and capital intensive, the research suggests the community-based production behavior to defend the vulnerability of the economic capital-poor Khasis of Bangladesh.
Social Networking Among Japanese Elders
Authors: Kawakami Atsuko , Lehman Derek , Burress Kaitlynn
Published: June 2021

The purpose of this study is to identify some of the predictors of social network formation with a focus on everyday behaviors such as greeting neighbors, attitudes about elder care, civic involvement, and hobby or social group membership. Using data from the 2010 and 2012 waves of the Japanese General Social Survey, we found that factors in which individuals have more control over are associated with the formation of social networks whereas factors that individuals have little to no control over are less likely to affect network formation. Specifically, elderly individuals who greet their neighbors and those who view elder care as an individual’s or family’s responsibility are more likely to have larger social networks. Likewise, civic engagement and participation in neighborhood associations are also significantly associated with forming social networks. Surprisingly, our analysis revealed that participating in hobby groups, length of residency in a community, and other control variables such as gender, income, and education are not significantly associated with forming social networks. Our findings indicate that the key components to building strong social networks are found within mundane daily activities. We conclude with several suggestions for how the elderly and communities can build elders’ social networks and thereby improve well-being. The implications of this study include raising awareness among individuals to prepare for a better, well-connected life in old age as well as suggesting local government programs for elderly care to help build more effective programs. Counselors could use this information to encourage their elderly clients to build social networks by increasing daily social interactions with neighbors and obtaining the view of self-reliance on elder care responsibility.  Future researchers should seek to integrate the elder’s medical information in analyses in order to consider a comprehensive plan for the elderly’s well-being.

Listy, uczeni, książki. Machinae coelestis pars posterior Jana Heweliusza z biblioteki Andreasa Müllera Greiffenhagiusa
Authors: Borysowska Agnieszka
Published: June 2021

W zbiorach Książnicy Pomorskiej zachowały się zabytkowe edycje prac gdańskiego astronoma Jana Heweliusza (1611–1687). Jedno z dzieł – Machina coelestis – składa się z dwóch tomów, które ukazały się w latach 1673 i 1679. Właśnie druga część tego dzieła została bliżej omówiona w artykule. Już XVIII-wieczni bibliografowie uznawali ją za białego kruka. Współcześnie uchodzi za jeszcze większy zabytek, a to za sprawą tragicznego pożaru, który wybuchł we wrześniu 1679 roku i zniszczył dom Heweliusza, jego obserwatorium z instrumentami, pracownię oraz drukarnię z niemal całym nakładem przechowywanego tam dzieła. Wartość egzemplarza Książnicy Pomorskiej podnosi dodatkowo fakt, że należał on w przeszłości do biblioteki znanego XVII-wiecznego orientalisty – Andreasa Müllera Greiffenhagiusa (1630–1694), który zmarł w Szczecinie i pozostawił tam swój księgozbiór. Autorce artykułu udało się ponadto dotrzeć do zachowanej korespondencji Müllera i Heweliusza, w której jest mowa o tej właśnie książce – historię ciekawego egzemplarza uzupełnia więc głos z epoki.

Strong quadratic acousto-optic coupling in 1D multilayer phoxonic crystal cavity
Authors: Jin Jun , Wang Xiaohong , Zhan Lamin , Hu Hongping
Published: June 2021

Four methods are applied to calculate the acousto-optic (AO) coupling in one-dimensional (1D) phoxonic crystal (PXC) cavity: transfer matrix method (TMM), finite element method (FEM), perturbation theory, and Born approximation. Two types of mechanisms, the photoelastic effect (PE) and the moving interface effect (MI), are investigated. Whether the AO coupling belongs to linear or quadratic, the results obtained by the perturbation theory are in good agreement with the numerical results. We show that the combination method of FEM and perturbation theory has some advantages over Born approximation. The dependence of linear and quadratic couplings on the symmetry of acoustic and optical modes has been discussed in detail. The linear coupling will vanish if the defect acoustic mode is even symmetry, but the quadratic effect may be enhanced. Based on second-order perturbation theory, the contribution of each optical eigenfrequency to quadratic coupling is clarified. Finally, the quadratic coupling is greatly enhanced by tuning the thickness of the defect layer, which is an order of magnitude larger than that of normal defect thickness. The enhancement mechanism of quadratic coupling is illustrated. The symmetry of the acoustic defect mode is transformed from odd to even, and two optical defect modes are modulated to be quasi-degenerated modes. This study opens up a possibility to achieve tunable phoxonic crystals on the basis of nonlinear AO effects.

Han, J, Liu, M, Shi, J, and Li, Y. Construction of a machine learning model to estimate physiological variables of speed skating athletes under hypoxic training conditions. J Strength Cond Res 37(7): 1543–1550, 2023—Monitoring changes in athletes' physiological variables is essential to create a safe and effective hypoxic training plan for speed skating athletes. This research aims to develop a machine learning estimation model to estimate physiological variables of athletes under hypoxic training conditions based on their physiological measurements collected at sea level. The research team recruited 64 professional speed skating athletes to participate in a 10-week training program, including 3 weeks of sea-level training, followed by 4 weeks of hypoxic training and then a 3-week sea-level recovery period. We measured several physiological variables that could reflect the athletes' oxygen transport capacity in the first 7 weeks, including red blood cell (RBC) count and hemoglobin (Hb) concentration. The physiological variables were measured once a week and then modeled as a mathematical model to estimate measurements' changes using the maximum likelihood method. The mathematical model was then used to construct a machine learning model. Furthermore, the original data (measured once per week) were used to construct a polynomial model using curve fitting. We calculated and compared the mean absolute error between estimated values of the 2 models and measured values. Our results show that the machine learning model estimated RBC count and Hb concentration accurately. The errors of the estimated values were within 5% of the measured values. Compared with the curve fitting polynomial model, the accuracy of the machine learning model in estimating hypoxic training's physiological variables is higher. This study successfully constructed a machine learning model that used physiological variables measured at the sea level to estimate the physiological variables during hypoxic training.

Introduction. Alcoholism is a phenomenon with multi-factorial conditions and numerous health and socialconsequences, which makes its treatment a real challenge not only for the addict himself and his relatives, but alsofor the entire medical team involved in the therapy process. For this reason, in order to strengthen the therapeuticeffects of alcoholic disease, it is important to conduct research aimed at determining the factors that shape theeffectiveness of the implemented methods. With this in mind, it has been assumed that the aim of the research isto determine the relationship between the therapeutic methods used in the Clinical Alcohol Dependency TherapyUnit (COTUA), taking into account the tasks of a nurse, and the assessment of their effectiveness in the perceptionof patients after craniocerebral trauma with a diagnosis of alcohol disease.Material and Methods. 100 COTUA patients were tested, in which the diagnostic survey method was used and aquestionnaire was chosen as a technique.Results. The conducted analyses showed that, in the opinion of the respondents, the leading tasks of the nurses atCOTUA include informing patients about the principles and methods of therapy, familiarizing them with thetopography of the ward, the Charter of Patient’s Rights, the regulations of the ward, the schedule of the day and itsspecifics, administering medicines, providing a sense of safety, providing psychological support, transferring knowledgeand learning how to live with the disease and cooperating with the therapeutic team. In addition, three quarters ofthe respondents indicated that the nurses working in the ward are willing to talk to patients about alcohol dependence,and a comparable percentage of the respondents assessed the effectiveness of the therapeutic methods used by thetherapeutic team in relation to their own alcohol dependence problem very well and well.Conclusions. Patients’ assessment of the effectiveness of the therapeutic methods used depends on the nurses’ tasksof conducting therapeutic conversations with patients, providing them with knowledge, learning how to live withthe disease, cooperating with the therapeutic team and the nurses’ readiness to talk to patients about alcoholdependence.

Authors: Krupka Maria , Tułacz Kinga
Published: June 2021

Introduction. Hydrocephalus is a pathological condition leading to excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluidin the ventricular system of the brain. Hemorrhagic hydrocephalus is a result of an intracranial hemorrhage, whichis among the most common neurological complications in prematurely born newborns.Case Report. A male patient was born by caesarean section at 31 weeks, in severe condition. During ultrasonography,intraventricular hemorrhage III° was found. The patient was transported to a surgical clinic for the implantationof Rickham reservoir. The duty of the midwife was to solve a number of nursing problems, including: the risk ofincreased intracranial pressure, slow weight gain, infection or apnoea.Discussion. Intraventricular bleeding occurs mainly in children who are born prematurely. Prognosis in children afterintraventricular hemorrhage depends mainly on the severity of bleeding. In order to provide professional medicalcare, children with neurological complications should be treated in centres with the highest reference level, and thedecisive factor conditioning their proper psychomotor development in the future is early rehabilitation.Conclusions. Care for patients born prematurely with hemorrhagic hydrocephalus requires collaboration betweenthe medical staff and parents. The task of the midwife is to mitigate the negative effects of hydrocephalus as wellas support and educate parents. (JNNN 2021;10(1):42–47)
