Authors: Guastaferro Kate , Shipe Stacey L. , Connell Christian M. , Letourneau Elizabeth J. , Noll Jennie G.
Published: March 2023

Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a public health problem of considerable magnitude. The prevailing primary prevention strategies are universal, school-based CSA prevention programs, some of which have been designated as evidence-based, such as Safe Touches. However, to reach their public health impact potential, effective universal school-based CSA prevention programs require effective and efficient dissemination and implementation strategies. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the reach and effectiveness of a school-based CSA prevention curriculum, Safe Touches, when implemented on a wide scale. Using a longitudinal cohort design, children in second grade classrooms in public elementary schools in five counties received the Safe Touches workshop and completed surveys designed to assess gains in knowledge at four timepoints (one week prior, immediately post-workshop, 6- and 12-months post-workshop). In total, the Safe Touches workshop was delivered in 718 classrooms in 92% of school districts, reaching ~14,235 second graders. Multilevel models ( n = 3,673) revealed that Safe Touches significantly increased CSA-related knowledge, and that these gains were maintained 12-months post-workshop ( ps < .001). There were some small but significant time-varying effects among participants in schools with a greater percentage of low income and minority students, but these effects largely disappeared 12-months post workshop. This study demonstrates that a single-session, universal school-based CSA prevention program can effectively increase children’s knowledge when implemented and disseminated on a wide scale and knowledge gains can be retained 12-months post intervention.
Nonprofit Sector Size and the Breadth of Local Government Climate Actions: Exploring the Moderating Role of Collaboration
Authors: Cheng Yuan (Daniel) , Park Angela , Krause Rachel
Published: March 2023

Existing studies often use the association between sector sizes to test the supplementary and complementary models of government–nonprofit relations, assuming that one mode of government–nonprofit relations dominates a policy subsector. We challenge this assumption and propose that the relationship between nonprofit sector size and the breadth of local government policy actions depends on their level of collaboration. Situated in the context of urban climate governance and drawing information from a national survey of U.S. local government climate actions, we test this modified model and find a statistically significant moderation effect of collaboration. However, contrary to our proposed hypotheses, our findings suggest that a positive association between the number of environmental nonprofits and governmental climate actions exists when the level of government–nonprofit collaboration is low to moderate. We posit that the adversarial lens of government–nonprofit relations and the cost of collaboration are key to understanding these surprising findings.
The Problem of Suffering: The Exemplarist Theodicy
Authors: Sijuwade Joshua R.
Published: March 2023

This article aims to provide a response to the problem of suffering through an explication of a new theodicy termed the Exemplarist Theodicy. This specific theodicy will be formulated in light of the moral theory provided by Linda Zagzebski, termed the Exemplarist Moral Theory, the notion of transformative experience, as explicated by L.A. Paul, Havi Carel and Ian James Kidd, and the virtue-theoretic approach to suffering proposed by Michael Brady, which, in combination with some further precisifying philosophical concepts—namely, compensation, total empathy, and infinitely valuable connections—will provide us with a possible, morally sufficient reason for why God allows individuals to experience suffering.
On the correlation between processing parameters, plastic deformation, and mechanical property in hard machining of H13 steel
Authors: Li Binxun , Zhang Song , Sun Yujing , Du Jin
Published: March 2023

Hard machining, as one of the sustainable manufacturing technologies, tends to introduce highly coupled thermomechanical loads into the machined surface layer, which causes materials to suffer from severe plastic deformation underneath and, thus, the alteration of the mechanical properties. In this paper, a systemic investigation was performed on the correlation of processing parameters, plastic deformation, and mechanical properties of machined surface layer for hardened H13 steel, where the cutting parameters and tool micro-geometry are varied. The plastic deformation layer was composed of an amorphous structure and plastically deformed grain. Compared to cutting parameters, edge micro-geometry significantly influences the depth of the plastic deformation layer. The automated ball indentation (ABI) technique was utilized to evaluate the mechanical properties of the machined surface layers. Finally, the relationship between processing parameters, depth of plastic deformation, and mechanical properties was revealed. The experimental findings provide a solid foundation for processing parameter selection to improve the functional performance of manufactured components.
Influence of cutting parameters on cutting specific energy of Inconel718 based on strain gradient
Authors: Hao Zhaopeng , Wang Xindi , Fan Yihang
Published: March 2023

In this paper, the Johnson-Cook constitutive model is modified by considering the influence of hard point such as TiC and NbC in the matrix of Inconel718 on the deformation stress. The theoretical model of cutting specific energy in the main deformation zone of Inconel718 is modified based on the new constitutive model by combining the strain gradient theory. The effect of different cutting parameters on cutting specific energy is studied, and the effect of cutting specific energy on cutting deformation and the resulting dimensional effect are also analyzed. The research results show that cutting specific energy increases with the increase of cutting speed. With the increase of cutting thickness, the cutting specific energy reduced, and the trend is non-linear. The change of undeformed chip thickness will cause size effect. The cutting specific energy increases with the reduction of the thickness of undeformed chip, and the impact of the thickness of undeformed chip on the cutting specific energy becomes smaller and smaller as the speed increases. The existence of hard points makes the main deformation zone generate a large amount of heat energy and deformation energy, which leads to dimensional effects and makes the material be more prone to adiabatic shear instability, then leads to the increase of cutting specific energy. With the increase of cutting specific energy, the width of adiabatic shear band is narrowed, the degree of serration is aggravated, and the chip morphology is closer to the experimental results.
Calculation method of cutter location points considering corner transition speed in CNC
Authors: Lyu Dun , Song Yanhong , Liu Han , Liu Hui , Wang Dawei , Zhang Huijie
Published: March 2023

The calculation method of cutter location (CL) points only considers the geometric errors, but cannot consider the requirements of the corner transition algorithm in CNC, which results in the smoothing algorithm in the CNC not playing a maximum role or even failing. To solve this problem, a calculation method of the CL points considering corner transition speed in CNC is proposed. Firstly, the key geometric parameters of the CL points that affect the corner speed are analyzed. Secondly, according to the analysis results, the objective function is established to connect the CL points calculation in CAM and the corner transition speed in CNC. By solving the objective function, the calculation method of the CL points is developed. Finally, the effectiveness of this method is verified by experiment. Comparing with the commonly used iso-chord height method, the proposed method can increase the speed at the corner of the CL points and reduce the acceleration and jerk at the same time. By the proposed method, the tracking accuracy, trajectory accuracy, and machining efficiency can be significantly improved. The proposed method can be integrated into CAM software to generate high quality CL points.

Authors: Wang Linxin , Wang Lei , Feng Qigao , Ma Lijie , Tang Yongkai , Li Bobo
Published: March 2023

In order to solve the problems of high surface roughness and low dimensional accuracy of titanium alloy metal-wire fuse additive manufacturing, this paper proposes a high surface quality and dimensional accuracy of titanium alloy additive manufacturing with composite heat source process. On the basis of orthogonal experiments, titanium alloy wires with diameter of 0.3 mm Ti-6Al-4V were deposited in a small molten pool by laser and Joule heat source. Thin-walled titanium alloy parts with high surface quality and dimensional accuracy were obtained, and the quality, microstructure, and mechanical properties were tested. The measurement areas are shown that the average roughness Ra is 1.65 μm in the direction deposition, and the dimensional accuracy error is less than 0.28 mm. On this basis, the microstructure and mechanical properties of titanium alloy thin-walled were analyzed. The microstructures are net-like, with microhardness of about 330HV. The ultimate tensile strength of titanium alloy thin-walled parts is 917.56 MPa, and the elongation can reach 20.68%, which is comparable to the strength of casting and forging fracture. The results show that the proposed additive manufacturing process of metal-wire with composite heat source has the potential of further metal AM in high surface quality parts.
Minimization of surface roughness and residual stress in abrasive water jet cutting of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V
Authors: Soori Mohsen , Arezoo Behrooz
Published: March 2023

Concrete, ceramics, rocks, metal-matrix composites, titanium alloys and other hard-to-cut materials are frequently cut using the non-traditional cold processing method known as abrasive water jet machining (AWJM). A virtual machining system is proposed in the study to minimize roughness of surface and residual stress during AWJM of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V. The water and workpiece are simulated in virtual environments using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) approach and finite element method, respectively. Then, the Johnson–Cook law model of titanium alloy is used to obtain the cutting temperature during cutting operations. To calculate residual stress during the AWJM operations, the finite element method is then utilized. The Taguchi optimization method is implemented to minimize surface roughness and residual stress in AWJM operations. Thus, the optimized machining parameters such as water jet pressure, traverse speed, abrasive mass flow rate and standoff distance are calculated to minimize the surface roughness and residual stress during the AWJM of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V. Experimental and computational examinations are carried out in order to validate the effectiveness and efficiency of proposed virtual machining system in minimization of surface roughness and residual stress during abrasive waterjet cutting of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V. As a result, by using the optimized machining parameters, 23.7% and 27.1% reduction in the measured and predicted residual stress of sample machined part are obtained. Also, the sample machined part’s surface roughness is reduced by 26.7% and 27.9%, for the measured and predicted surface roughness of sample machined part, respectively. So, the quality and reliability of the machined parts can be enhanced using the developed virtual machining system in the study to minimize the surface roughness and residual stress in AWJM operations.

Published: March 2023

Lattice structures play a key role in influencing the mechanical and thermal properties of many applications. Knowing the importance of lattice structure and its influence on mechanical and thermal properties, this article discussed the triply periodic minimal surface-based gyroid shapes, their design, manufacturability, and difficulties while printing with the additive manufacturing process. This review also emphasizes the impact of changing the structure and additive manufacturing process parameters like porosity, wall thickness, unit cell size, infill, and gradient ratio on the mechanical and thermal properties of the printed parts. This study discussed the advantages and disadvantages of replacing conventional structures with bio-inspired gyroid structures and their effects on mechanical and thermal properties. This review also brought a comparative study between gyroid and other existing lattice structures in terms of mechanical and thermal properties and suggestions are been made to use gyroid shapes compared to existing lattice structures for improved thermal mechanical for different applications like biomedical, structural, and heat transfer fields. In this review article, a multitude of research areas could help the researcher to easily decide the appropriate application-based gyroid structure.

Published: March 2023

Asthma exacerbations are among the commonest reasons for hospitalizations in Malaysian pilgrims during the Hajj. We interviewed 21 stakeholders involved in the pre-Hajj health examination at 14 primary care clinics, to explore their perceptions on barriers to and facilitators of asthma care for Hajj pilgrims. The disadvantages of the short time frame and centralized organization of the pre-Hajj health examinations were viewed as compromising clinicians’ level of competencies in asthma care, which could potentially be enhanced through more training, audit, and supervision by specialists. Longer time frame to permit sufficient disease control, provision of care by a dedicated asthma team, asthma registry to support continuous care, more resources of long-acting β-agonist/inhaled corticosteroid, and provision of influenza and pneumococcal vaccines at no cost were the perceived facilitators. Delivery of asthma education, especially the asthma action plan, should be tailored to the level of the pilgrim’s health literacy and facilitated by educational resources, family engagement, and regular health briefing.

Published: March 2023

The benefits of disability sport are numerous and widespread; however, current research on motivations and lived experiences of athletes with disabilities has almost exclusively focused on white males. No studies have focused on the immigrant experience despite the fact that approximately 14% of the United States population are immigrants. Immigrants and people with disabilities face similar barriers, and at the intersection is an unexplored niche group of immigrants with disabilities with unique perspectives yet to be explored. The purpose of this study was to understand the impacts, motivations, and lived experiences of immigrants who participate in disability sports in the United States. Fifteen immigrants with disabilities were interviewed. They originated from 11 countries and have participated in disability sport competitively. Results indicate increased opportunities and accessibility in the United States compared to their home countries, and that participation in disability sport increased athletes’ confidence. Additionally, most participants noted that despite their sociocultural diversity, their shared identity as athletes with disabilities overshadowed any real or perceived prejudices related to race or origin. Finally, in sport participation, intrinsic motivations included physical and mental health, self-reliance, independence, and athletic competition.
Autonomous but interdependent: Constitutional traditions on judicial protection and the general principle of effective judicial protection
Authors: Gentile Giulia
Published: March 2023

The EU general principle of effective judicial protection is the epitome of the EU liberal-constitutionalism. The creative force of this principle has emerged, among others, in connection with the protection of the rule of law and the introduction of procedural guarantees both at the national and EU level. It is well established that effective judicial protection stems from the ECHR and the constitutional traditions common to the Member States. While existing scholarship has explored the influence of the ECHR over the development of this principle, less attention was paid to the impact of constitutional traditions from the Member States. Yet, exploring the role of constitutional traditions in shaping effective judicial protection, the primus inter pares among the general principles of EU law, goes at the heart of the conundrum of the EU: the latter is an autonomous legal system, which is inevitably shaped by the legal concepts and traditions existing in the Member States. This exploration is particularly timely. Some Member States affected by the rule-of-law backsliding have recently invoked constitutional traditions on judicial protection to delimit the application of EU standards of effective judicial protection, thus questioning the relationship between the EU principle and national conceptions of judicial protection.
The interface between EU climate and energy law
Authors: Romppanen Seita , Huhta Kaisa
Published: March 2023

This article critically discusses the interface between EU climate and energy law. It argues that legal scholarship should explore and expose the interrelationships between these legal disciplines through shared understanding and evaluation of both the disparities and synergies found. It maps the origins of EU climate and energy law to demonstrate how they have evolved side by side, guided by separate legal rationales and distinct legislative developments yet sharing partially overlapping objectives and instruments. By comparing EU climate and energy law as legal disciplines, the article identifies dynamic and static attributes that characterize the interface between EU climate and energy law. These attributes, combined with the evolution of EU climate and energy law, are key elements in facilitating disciplinary convergence. As an outcome of the analysis, the article calls for critical legal scholarship that acknowledges the climate and energy law interface, allowing disciplinary convergence to develop between them.

Authors: Reddy Narainsai K. , Shah Nikhil D. , Weissman Joshua P. , Chwa Emily S. , Gosain Arun K.
Published: March 2023

Objective

International outreach for cleft lip and/or palate care has traditionally been characterized by foreign groups and individuals holding surgical outreach trips in low- and middle-income countries. However, this “magic bullet” approach has often been criticized for prioritizing short-term results that may disrupt local workflow. The presence and impact of local organizations that support cleft care and take on capacity building initiatives has not been well explored.

Design

Eight countries previously studied as having the highest Google search demand for CL/P were chosen for the scope of the study. Local NGOs in regions were identified through a web search, and information was collected regarding the location, objectives, partnerships, and work conducted thus far.

Results

Countries with a strong combination of local and international organizations included Ghana, Philippines, Nepal, Kenya, Pakistan, India, and Nigeria. The country with minimal to no local NGO presence included Zimbabwe. Local NGOs often supported education and research, training of providers and staff, spreading community awareness, offering interdisciplinary care, and opening cleft clinics and hospitals. Unique initiatives included starting the first school for children with CL/P, enrolling patients in the national healthcare to cover CL/P care, and monitoring the referral system to improve efficiencies in the healthcare system.

Conclusions

Moving towards a mindset of capacity building not only involves bilateral partnerships between international host sites and visiting organizations, but also collaboration with local NGOs that have a deep understanding of local communities. Successful partnerships may help address the complex challenges regarding CL/P care faced by LMICs.
Will Social Distancing in Service Encounters Affect Consumers’ Value Perception During the COVID-19 Pandemic? The Role of Servicescape, Self-Efficacy, and Technological Intervention
Authors: Feng Ying , Meng Jie
Published: March 2023

This study investigates how physical and psychological distance from one's surroundings may influence one's perception of connectedness with the servicescape and, ultimately, perception of value. It also examines the effect of consumers’ techno-psychological differences and interaction modes on this distance–closeness relationship. The researchers develop and test a conceptual framework of how personal cognitive traits and technological intervention may alter consumers’ perceived connectedness to the servicescape and influence their perceived value in different service settings. Via a quasi-experiment design in three service scenarios, this research shows a synthetical effect of contactless technology in the distancing setting that may work more effectively on high self-efficiency customers to change their perceived closeness to the servicescape and further change their evaluation of the service. The findings reveal the practical implications of social distancing for different types of consumers in service encounters during or after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: March 2023

Objectives

Hypothermia is a common complication of anesthesia, particularly in cats. Some veterinarians insulate the extremities of cats as a preventive measure, and there is evidence that heating the extremities of dogs decreases the rate of heat loss from the core. This study investigated whether active warming or passive insulation of the extremities of cats resulted in a slower decrease in rectal temperature during anesthesia.

Methods

Female cats were assigned via block randomization to passive (cotton toddler socks), active (heated toddler socks) or control group (uncovered extremities). Rectal temperature was monitored every 5 mins from induction through return to trap/carrier (final temperature). Multivariable linear regression models were used to compare temperature (rate change and final) between groups.

Results

There were 164 cats with 1757 temperature readings. Mean total duration of anesthesia was 53 ± 13 mins. The temperature of all groups decreased linearly over time (all P <0.0001), with the rates of temperature decrease being −0.039°F/min (95% confidence interval [CI] −0.043 to −0.035)/−0.022°C (95% CI −0.024 to −0.019), −0.039°F/min (95% CI −0.042 to −0.035)/−0.022°C (95% CI −0.023 to −0.019) and −0.029°F/min (95% CI −0.032 to −0.025)/−0.016°C (95% CI −0.018 to −0.014) for the control, passive and active groups, respectively. The control, passive and active groups had median final temperatures of 98.4°F (interquartile range [IQR] 97.6−99.4)/36.9°C (IQR 36.4−37.4), 98.0°F (IQR 97.2–98.7)/36.7°C (IQR 36.2–37.1) and 99.1°F (IQR 97.7–100.0)/37.3°C (IQR 36.5–37.8), respectively. After controlling for weight, postinduction temperature and duration of anesthesia, and as compared with controls, the final temperature of the active group was predicted to be 0.54°F (95% CI 0.03–1.01)/0.3°C (95% CI 0.02–0.56) greater ( P = 0.023), while the passive group was not significantly different ( P = 0.130).

Conclusions and relevance

The rate of rectal temperature decrease was significantly slower for the active group compared with the other groups. Although the cumulative difference in final temperature reading was modest, superior materials might enhance performance. Cotton toddler socks alone did not slow the rate of temperature decrease.
Once-in-a-lifetime leisure experiences (OLLE): The role of Flow, novelty, and interpersonal interaction on tourists’ satisfaction and memories
Authors: deMatos Nelson Manuel da Silva , Duarte Paulo Alexandre de Oliveira , Sá Elisabete Sampaio de
Published: March 2023

Drawing on Flow theory and memorable tourism experience, this study explores the relationships between Flow, novelty, and interpersonal interaction and the impact on travelers’ satisfaction and memories. By applying a mixed-method approach and the critical incident technique to a once-in-a-lifetime leisure experience, 550 tourists recalled their experiences. The results reveal that Flow has a direct and positive influence on tourists’ satisfaction and memories of the experience. The findings highlight the role of novelty and interpersonal interaction in producing positive Flow. However, novelty and interpersonal interaction did not come out as significant to predict memories and satisfaction.
Resilience as Mediator in Relation to Parental Attachment and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Adolescents Following the Yancheng Tornado
Authors: Zhou Hong , Hu Yutong , Cheng Xuan , Sun Xiaoran
Published: March 2023

Resilience and secure parental attachment have been proven as important factors to alleviate the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, the effects of the two factors on PTSD and the mechanisms of its effect at different time points in the aftermath of trauma are still unclear. This study explores the relationship among parental attachment, resilience, and development of PTSD symptoms in adolescents from a longitudinal perspective following the Yancheng Tornado. Using cluster sampling method, a total of 351 Chinese adolescents, survivors of a severe tornado, were tested on their PTSD, parental attachment and resilience at 12-months and 18-months after experiencing the natural disaster. The results showed that our proposed model fit the data well: χ 2/ df = 3.197, CFI = 0.967, TLI = 0.950, RMSEA = 0.079. It revealed that the resilience at 18-months partially mediated the relationship between parental attachment at 12-months and PTSD at 18-months. Research results showed that parental attachment and resilience are key resources for coping with trauma.

Published: March 2023

This paper discusses the negative bending behavior of a new type of web-embedded U-shaped steel-concrete composite beams (WUSCBs). Considering the effective width of the concrete slab, a negative bending moment test was performed on eight WUSCB specimens. The web-embedded shear connector in the WUSCB has been shown to have good shear connection performance and maintain the overall function of the WUSCB. The failure process of the specimen was categorized by the cracking, yielding, and buckling loads which correspond to 0.29 Pu, 0.79 Pu, and 0.90 Pu, respectively. Negative bending failure was observed in the WUSCB, evidenced by the steel plate yielding and concrete slab cracking. The WUSCB was found to have good ductility and deformability under negative bending. A finite element model was established to verify with the experimental results. The calculation method for negative bending capacity is proposed; and the calculation results are in good agreement with the test results.
Classified children: A critical analysis of the digital interfaces and representations that mediate adoption in the United States
Authors: Higgins Isabelle
Published: March 2023

In this article I analyse websites in the public domain which represent children deemed eligible for adoption into families in the United States. These websites consist of photographs of children accompanied by details about their lives, health and personalities. Using critical technocultural discourse analysis, I outline three different ways in which children are classified in these digital spaces. I argue that it is through a combination of textual and photographic representation, as well as platform and interface design, that ideologies related to racial identity and nationality intersect to create a hierarchical system, which differentially classifies these children. I explain the significance of these classificatory schemes by drawing on decolonial thought and critical race theory. Ultimately, I argue that discourses and interfaces work together to reproduce, intensify and reify an intersectionally oppressive system of structural inequality.
Developing Awareness of Green Human Resource Development Practices in the Hotel Industry
Authors: Osolase Ehikioya Hilary , Rasdi Roziah Mohd , Mansor Zuraina Dato’
Published: March 2023

The Problem

The hotel industry is a major contributor to the depletion of natural resources (e.g., water and energy) and other practices (e.g., waste management and pollution) that jeopardizes environmental sustainability. The expertise of human resource development (HRD) practitioners is needed to develop the knowledge and skills of industry practitioners towards the development of pro-green knowledge and competencies for automation of workflows for environmental sustainability.

The Solution

Green human resource development is suggested as a paradigm shift from traditional approaches of HRD to bring awareness of ways that HRD expertise can be applied to green practices. By integrating the expertise, knowledge, and competencies of HRD practitioners with industry practitioners, the hotel industry has the potential to be transformed into a sector with ecofriendly and pro-environmental culture.

The Stakeholders

Human resource development researchers and practitioners; hotel industry workforce (practitioners, organizational leaders, and all sectors of the workforce).

Published: March 2023

The sarcoid-like reaction is a rare autoinflammatory disease that can affect lymph nodes or organs but does not meet the diagnostic criteria for systemic sarcoidosis. Several drug classes have been associated with the development of a systemic sarcoid-like reaction, which defines drug-induced sarcoidosis-like reactions and can affect a single organ. Anti-CD20 antibodies (rituximab) have rarely been reported as responsible for this reaction and this adverse effect has mainly been described during the treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. We report a unique case of a sarcoid-like reaction complicating rituximab following the treatment of a mantle cell lymphoma and interesting only the kidney. The 60-year-old patient presented with severe acute renal failure 6 months after the end of his r-CHOP protocol and the urgent renal biopsy revealed acute interstitial nephritis rich in granulomas without caseous necrosis. After ruling out other causes of granulomatous nephritis, a sarcoid-like reaction was retained since infiltration was limited to the kidney. The temporal relationship between rituximab administration and the sarcoid-like reaction onset in our patient supported the diagnosis of a rituximab-induced sarcoidosis-like reaction. Oral corticosteroid treatment led to rapid and lasting improvement in renal function. Clinicians should be warned of this adverse effect and regular and prolonged monitoring of renal function should be recommended during the follow-up of patients after the end of treatment with rituximab.

Published: March 2023

Goal

Analysis of the results of thrombectomy from the arteries of the lower extremities in patients with COVID-19 against the background of different severity of respiratory failure.

Materials and Methods

This retrospective, cohort, comparative study for the period from 05/01/2022 to 20/07/2022 included 305 patients with acute thrombosis of the arteries of the lower extremities against the background of the course of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant). Depending on the type of oxygen support, 3 groups of patients were formed: group 1 ( n = 168) – oxygen insufflation through nasal cannulas; group 2 ( n = 92) – non-invasive lung ventilation; and group 3 ( n = 45) – artificial lung ventilation.

Results

Myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke were not detected in the total sample. The highest number of deaths (group 1: 5.3%, n = 9; group 2: 72.8%, n = 67; group 3: 100%, n = 45; p < 0.0001), rethrombosis (group 1 : 18.4%, n = 31; group 2: 69.5%, n = 64; group 3: 91.1%, n = 41; p < 0.0001), and limb amputations (group 1: 9.5%, n = 16; group 2: 56.5%, n = 52; group 3: 91.1%, n = 41; p < 0.0001) was recorded in group 3 (ventilated) patients.

Conclusion

In patients infected with COVID-19 and on artificial lung ventilation, a more aggressive course of the disease is noted, expressed in an increase in laboratory parameters (C-reactive protein, ferritin, interleukin-6, and D-dimer) of the degree of pneumonia (CT-4 in overwhelming number) and localization of thrombosis of the arteries of the lower extremities, mainly in the tibial arteries.
Global citizenship education practices in Singapore and Australia: Tensions between educational and market rationales
Authors: Hameed Suraiya , Lingard Bob , Creagh Sue
Published: March 2023

This article draws on a qualitative comparative research study of global citizenship education (GCE) in two primary schools, an international school in Singapore and an independent school in Australia. This paper focuses on the implementation of GCE within the two specific school contexts, Singapore and Australia, examining the tensions which existed between neo-liberal market rationales and the critical democratic ideologies at each site. The paper explored in-depth how the neo-liberal market agenda influenced and shaped the societal imaginaries specifically in relation to their GCE commitments. Despite each schools’ commitments to critical democratic GCE ideals, they were very mindful about being distinctive and remaining competitive within their respective educational markets. To that extent, the schools were neo-liberal market actors. Empirical data shows the complexity of a more hybridised or a continuum existence between these two ideologies, thus providing a more nuanced insight of the binary within the school sites.
An applied model for using variability in practice
Authors: Czyż Stanisław H. , Coker Cheryl A.
Published: March 2023

We explore the problem of variability of practice from an applied perspective. Different types of variability, i.e., numerosity, heterogeneity, situational diversity, and scheduling are presented from the motor learning perspective, including theories, models, and concepts. We present the implications of applying variability into practice, the advantages, and problems arising while varying the practice. Finally, we propose a pragmatic model of applying variability in motor practice to assist coaches in designing effective training programs. Answers to three simple questions guide coaches to different methods of introducing variability in the practice. We present also key principles, coaches have to follow, in order to apply variability appropriately.

The Fontan procedure is a staged palliative surgery performed in children with congenital univentricular heart defects. These individuals are predisposed to a variety of issues due to their altered physiology. Through this article, we would like to describe the evaluation and anaesthetic management of a 14-year-old boy with Fontan circulation who underwent an uneventful laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The key to successful management was a multidisciplinary approach throughout the perioperative period as these patients pose a unique set of problems.

Background

Infection prevention and control (IPC) practices against COVID-19 should be adopted by healthcare workers (HCWs) at their workplaces to protect themselves, their patients, and their families from infection.

Purpose

This study aimed to describe the relationship between the healthcare-related COVID-19 infection prevention measures adopted by HCWs and their SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity.

Research Design

This cross-sectional study was conducted during the second and third COVID-19 waves in Egypt.

Study Sample

The study included 416 unvaccinated HCWs from 39 hospitals in Egypt.

Data Collection

Sociodemographic data, as well as COVID-19 IPC measures done at work, and protective measures performed by their healthcare facilities were collected. SARS-CoV-2 spike protein antibodies were measured by ELISA.

Results

58.2% of participants were seropositive for SARS-CoV-2. Among the previously undiagnosed HCWs, 125/271 (46.1%) were seropositive. Predictors of seropositivity were rural residence (aOR = 5.096; 95% CI: 1.583–16.403, p = 0.006), previous COVID-19 infection (aOR = 4.848, 95% CI: 2.933–8.015, p = 0.000), and examining 10–20 suspected COVID-19 patients daily (aOR = 2.329; 95% CI: 1.331–4.077, p = 0.003. Reporting low satisfaction (25–50%) with infection control implementation, working more than 40 h per week, reporting to “sometimes abiding by hand hygiene” compared to those who reported to “always” adhere to hand hygiene and shorter duration of hand washing (<20 s) were associated with significantly higher odds of seropositivity.

Conclusions

Poor infection control measures and the high workload of HCWs (longer working hours and examining more patients) were modifiable risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity among HCWs. Hand hygiene was better among HCWs working in urban versus rural areas.

Many ill people want to be cared for at home, and home care nurses face an infinite number of encounters when providing that service. Despite the rising prominence of home care organizations worldwide, little research has been conducted on the encounters between home care nurses and patients and how encounters influence the nursing care provided. The aim of the present study was to describe home care nurses’ experiences of encounters with patients in their homes. In total, 11 home care nurses were selected through purposive sampling. The data consisted of individual interviews, which were analyzed through qualitative content analysis, and reported using COREQ reporting guidelines. The results were based on two categories describing the importance of adapting to each patient's needs and collaborating with the person being cared for. Implementing the findings could enable nurses to care for the patients without reducing them to recipients of objectified care.

The new mineral zincorietveldite (IMA2022-070), Zn(UO2)(SO4)2(H2O)5, was found in the Blue Lizard mine, San Juan County, Utah, USA, where it occurs as yellow to orange–yellow blades in a secondary assemblage with bobcookite, coquimbite, halotrichite, libbyite, metavoltine, rhomboclase, römerite, tamarugite and voltaite. The streak is very pale yellow. Crystals are transparent with vitreous lustre. The tenacity is brittle, the Mohs hardness is ~2½ and the fracture is curved. Cleavage is excellent on {010}, good on {100} and fair on {001}. The mineral is easily soluble in H2O and has a calculated density of 3.376 g⋅cm–3. The mineral is optically biaxial (+) with α = 1.568(2), β = 1.577(2) and γ = 1.595(2); 2V = 70(1)°. Electron microprobe analyses provided (Zn0.720Mg0.109Fe0.091Mn0.046Co0.035)Σ1.00(UO2)(SO4)2(H2O)5. Zincorietveldite is orthorhombic, Pmn21, a = 12.8712(9), b = 8.3148(4), c = 11.2959(4) Å, V = 1208.90(11) Å3 and Z = 4. Zincorietveldite is the Zn analogue of rietveldite. The structural unit is a uranyl-sulfate chain that is also found in the structures of bobcookite, oldsite, oppenheimerite and svornostite.

The minerals of carletonite group, fluorcarletonite, KNa4Ca4[Si8O18](CO3)4(F,OH)·H2O and carletonite, Na4Ca4[Si8O18](CO3)4(OH,F)·H2O, were investigated using a multi-method approach. A detailed comparative chemical study of the minerals was carried out using electron probe microanalysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Using X-ray techniques and the results obtained, geometrical and distortion characteristics of the mineral structures are calculated and the successful crystal-structure refinement of these two natural compounds are given. Using spectroscopic and luminescence methods and ab initio calculations, it is shown that hole defects (CO3)•– are responsible for the colouration of the samples studied. Luminescence due to 5d–4f transition in Ce3+ ions is observed in both investigated compounds. Moreover, luminescence attributed to intrinsic luminescence, corresponding to the decay of electronic excitations of (CO3)2– complexes in the carletonite sample, is registered for the first time in phyllosilicates. An analysis of the optical absorption spectra and g-tensor values suggests that (CO3)•– defects in the crystal structure are localised in the C1 positions. Identification of these specific properties for these sheet silicates, with a two-dimensional infinite tetrahedral polymerisation, indicates that carletonites could be prospective materials for novel phosphors and luminophores.
Lung cancer screening in rural primary care practices in Colorado: time for a more team-based approach?

Published: March 2023

Background

Despite lung cancer being a leading cause of death in the United States and lung cancer screening (LCS) being a recommended service, many patients eligible for screening do not receive it. Research is needed to understand the challenges with implementing LCS in different settings. This study investigated multiple practice members and patient perspectives impacting rural primary care practices related to LCS uptake by eligible patients.

Methods

This qualitative study involved primary care practice members in multiple roles (cliniciansn = 9, clinical staffn = 12 and administratorsn = 5) and their patients (n = 19) from 9 practices including federally qualified and rural health centers (n = 3), health system owned (n = 4) and private practices (n = 2). Interviews were conducted regarding the importance of and ability to complete the steps that may result in a patient receiving LCS. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis with immersion crystallization then organized using the RE-AIM implementation science framework to illuminate and organize implementation issues.

Results

Although all groups endorsed the importance of LCS, all also struggled with implementation challenges. Since assessing smoking history is part of the process to identify eligibility for LCS, we asked about these processes. We found that smoking assessment and assistance (including referral to services) were routine in the practices, but other steps in the LCS portion of determining eligibility and offering LCS were not. Lack of knowledge about screening and coverage, patient stigma, and resistance and practical considerations such as distance to LCS testing facilities complicated completion of LCS compared to screening for other types of cancer.

Conclusions

Limited uptake of LCS results from a range of multiple interacting factors that cumulatively affect consistency and quality of implementation at the practice level. Future research should consider team-based approaches to conduct of LCS eligibility and shared decision making.
