Authors: Bhoi Anil Kumar , Grover Chander , Singal Archana , Tandon Anupama
Published: May 2023

Background

Nail involvement in psoriasis is common and may be an indicator not only of disease severity, but also of the presence of psoriatic arthritis. However, the relationship of nail psoriasis with enthesitis remains under-explored.

Aims

This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical, onychoscopic (nail dermatoscopic) and ultrasonographic features in patients with nail psoriasis.

Materials and Methods

All nails of twenty adult patients with nail psoriasis were examined clinically and onychoscopically. Patients were evaluated for psoriatic arthritis (Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis), the severity of cutaneous disease (Psoriasis Area Severity Index) and nail disease (Nail Psoriasis Severity Index). Ultrasonography of the clinically involved digits was performed for evidence of distal interphalangeal joint enthesitis.

Results

Out of 20 patients, 18 patients had cutaneous psoriasis and 2 had isolated nail involvement. Among the 18 patients with skin psoriasis, 4 had associated psoriatic arthritis. The most commonly observed clinical and onychoscopic features were pitting (31.2% and 42.2%), onycholysis (36% and 36.5%) and subungual hyperkeratosis (30.2% and 30.5%), respectively. Ultrasonographic evidence of distal interphalangeal joint enthesitis was seen in 57% (175/307) of the digits with clinical nail involvement. Enthesitis was more common in patients with psoriatic arthritis (77% vs 50.6%). Nail thickening, crumbling and onychorrhexis (all features of nail matrix involvement) were significantly associated with enthesitis (P < 0.005).

Limitation

The major limitation was the small sample size and lack of controls. Only the clinically involved digits were evaluated for enthesitis.

Conclusion

Enthesitis was frequently detected on ultrasonography in patients with nail psoriasis, even in clinically asymptomatic individuals. Nail features of thickening, crumbling and onychorrhexis may predict underlying enthesitis and the potential development of arthritis. A comprehensive evaluation could help identify patients with psoriasis at risk for arthritis, helping improve long-term outcomes.
Walking a day in a pachyonychia congenita patient’s shoes: Impact on plantar pain and activity levels measured with wristband activity trackers
Authors: Lipner Shari R. , Falotico Julianne M. , Matushansky Justin T. , Evans Holly , Schwartz Janice , Hansen C. David
Published: May 2023

Background

Plantar keratoderma is a common finding in pachyonychia congenita, significantly impairing ambulation and quality of life. Due to the variation of pain reporting in pachyonychia congenita clinical studies, it is difficult to evaluate the efficacy of treatment outcomes for painful plantar keratodermas.

Objectives

To objectively analyse associations between plantar pain and activity levels in pachyonychia congenita patients using a wristband tracker.

Methods

Pachyonychia congenita patients and matched normal controls wore wristband activity trackers and completed a daily digital survey to record their highest and total pain scores (0–10 scale) each day for 28 consecutive days during four different seasons.

Results

Twenty four participants (12 pachyonychia congenita patients and 12 matched normal controls) completed the study. Pachyonychia congenita patients walked 1801.30 fewer steps/day (95% CI, −3666.4, 64.1) than normal controls (P = 0.072) and had greater average total [5.26; SD, 2.10] and highest (6.92; SD, 2.35) daily pain than normal controls [0.11 (SD, 0.47), 0.30 (SD, 0.22), respectively] (P < 0.001, both). On average, for each one unit increase in daily highest pain level, pachyonychia congenita activity decreased 71.54 steps/day (SE, 38.90, P = 0.066).

Limitation

The study had a small number of participants, limiting statistical power. Only pachyonychia congenita patients, ages 18 years or older, with keratin 6a, keratin 16, and keratin 17 mutations were included, limiting generalizability.

Conclusion

Pachyonychia congenita patients were less active with significantly higher pain than normal controls. There was an inverse correlation between pain and activity. Our findings suggest that wristband tracker technology may be used to evaluate treatment efficacy in future trials on severe plantar pain; therapeutic interventions that decrease plantar pain should correlate with significant increases in activity using wristband trackers.

Introduction. Complex wounds require a moist wound healing environment and exudate control. Alginate dressings are highly absorbable and available as sheets for superficial wounds and ropes for deeper wounds. Objective. This study evaluates the real-world performance of a conformable CAD containing mannuronic acid for various wound types. Materials and Methods. The usability and safety of the tested CAD were evaluated in adult patients with various wound types. Further endpoints were clinician satisfaction with dressing application and suitability for wound type and their opinion of the tested CAD compared with other dressings of this type. Results. The study included 83 patients with exuding wounds (42 male [51%]; 41 female [49%]) and a mean age of 74.54 years (SD ± 15.54 years). Thirteen clinicians (76%) (x = 1.24) rated the first CAD application as very easy, 4 (24%) as easy, and 1 (6%) as not easy. The time for dressing application was ranked as very good (x = 1.65) by 8 clinicians (47%), while 7 (41%) rated the time for application as good, and 2 (12%) gave a satisfactory rating. Conclusion. The CAD sheet and rope were safe to use and fit for purpose in wounds of various etiologies. In addition, the dressing was easy to handle and remove, formed a gel faster than other alginates, and outperformed other previous products.
Minimizing Bias in a Diabetic Foot Ulcer Clinical Evaluation: Analysis of the HIFLO Trial
Authors: Glat Paul , Gould Lisa , Pickett Lael , Arm Douglas
Published: May 2023

Introduction. Publications aimed at improving the quality of evidence in wound care clinical research have stressed the importance of minimizing study bias. In particular, lack of a universal definition of healing in wound studies leads to detection bias, resulting in noncomparable healing rates. Objective. This report analyzes the steps taken to reduce the main sources of bias in a particular RCT (the HIFLO Trial) that evaluated healing in DFUs using microvascular tissue. Materials and Methods. To address “definition of healing”–induced detection bias, 3 blinded adjudicators independently assessed each DFU using a rigorous 4-part definition of healing. Adjudicator responses were analyzed to assess reproducibility. Predefined criteria were also included to avoid bias owing to selection, performance, attrition, and reporting. Results. Rigor and comparability across sites were ensured through investigator training, consistent SOC, data monitoring, and independent statistical and ITT-only analysis. The level of agreement among adjudicators was greater than or equal to 90% for each of the 4-part healing criteria. Conclusions. High-level agreement by blinded adjudicators confirmed that DFUs in the HIFLO Trial were consistently assessed for healing without bias, validating the most rigorous assessment criteria to date. The findings reported herein may prove beneficial for others seeking to minimize bias in wound studies.

Weakly Coordinating Organic Cations are Intrinsically Capable of Supporting CO2 Reduction Catalysis
Authors: Weng Sophia , Toh Wei Lun , Surendranath Yogesh
Published: May 2023

The rates and selectivity of electrochemical CO2 reduction are known to be strongly influenced by the identity of alkali cations in the medium. However, experimentally, it remains unclear whether cation effects arise predominantly from coordinative stabilization of surface intermediates or from changes in the mean-field electrostatic environment at the interface. Herein, we show that Au- and Ag-catalyzed CO2 reduction can occur in the presence of weakly coordinating (poly)tetraalkylammonium cations. Through competition experiments in which the catalytic activity of Au was monitored as a function of the ratio of the organic to metal cation, we identify regimes in which the organic cation exclusively controls CO2 reduction selectivity and activity. We observe substantial CO production in this regime, suggesting that CO2 reduction catalysis can occur in the absence of Lewis acidic cations and thus, coordinative interactions between the electrolyte cations and surface-bound intermediates are not required for CO2 activation. For both Au and Ag, we find that tetraalkylammonium cations support catalytic activity for CO2 reduction on par with alkali metal cations, but with distinct cation activity trends between Au and Ag. These findings support a revision in electrolyte design rules to include water-soluble organic cation salts as potential supporting electrolytes for CO2 electrolysis.
Automated Generation of Microkinetics for Heterogeneously Catalyzed Reactions Considering Correlated Uncertainties
Authors: Kreitz Bjarne , Lott Patrick , Medford Andrew J. , Studt Felix , Deutschmann Olaf , Goldsmith C. Franklin
Published: May 2023

The study presents an ab-initio based framework for the automated construction of microkinetic mechanisms considering correlated uncertainties in all energetic parameters and estimation routines. Two thousand unique microkinetic models were generated within the uncertainty space of the BEEF-vdW functional for the conversion of exhaust gas emissions from stoichiometric gasoline combustion engines over Pt(111) and compared to experiments through multiscale modeling. The ensemble of simulations stresses the importance of considering uncertainties. Within this set of first-principles-based models, it is possible to identify a microkinetic mechanism that agrees with experimental data. This mechanism can be traced back to a single exchange-correlation functional, and it suggests that Pt(111) could be the active site for the oxidation of light hydrocarbons. The study provides a universal framework for the automated construction of reaction mechanisms with correlated uncertainty quantification, enabling a DFT-constrained microkinetic model optimization for other heterogeneously catalyzed systems.

Published: May 2023

The Perturbed Chain Polar Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (PCP-SAFT) equation of state (EoS) is widely used to predict fluid-phase thermodynamics, but parameterization of PCP-SAFT for individual molecules is often challenging. We propose a machine learning framework called ML-SAFT for predicting parameters of PCP-SAFT. In order to provide data for training machine learning models, we created the largest dataset of regressed PCP-SAFT parameters in the literature. We then conducted extensive evaluation of several machine learning architectures for predicting PCP-SAFT parameters. We found that our best model provided accurate predictions for a wider range of molecules than existing predictive techniques with 39 \% average absolute deviation (AAD) in vapor pressure predictions and 9 \% AAD in density predictions.

Published: May 2023

Hydrogen has the potential to become a crucial energy storage vector, allowing to maximise the advantages of renewable and sustainable energy sources. Hydrogen is usually stored as compressed hydrogen gas, or liquid hydrogen. However, the former requires high pressure, the latter cryogenic temperatures, being a huge limit to the widespread adoption of these storage methods. Thus, new materials for solid-state hydrogen storage shall be developed. Here we show that a α−MoO3 thin film, grown via atomic layer deposition, is a promising material for reversibly storing hydrogen. We found that hydrogen plasma is a convenient way to hydrogenise − at room temperature and relatively low pressures (500 or 1000 mTorr) − layered monocrystalline α−MoO3 thin films. Hydrogen has been shown to locate itself in the van der Waals gap along the [010] oriented α−MoO3 film. The process has been found to be totally reversible in air. Our essay could be a starting point to a transition from conventional (gas and liquid) to more advantageous solid-state hydrogen storage materials.

Published: May 2023

The curation of seismic datasets is the cornerstone of seismological research and the starting point of machine-learning applications in seismology. We present a 21-year-long AI-ready dataset of diverse seismic event parameters, instrumentation metadata, and waveforms, as curated by the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network and ourselves. The dataset contains about 190,000 three-component (3C) waveform traces from more than 65,000 earthquake and explosion events, and about 9,200 waveforms from 5,600 exotic events. The magnitude of the events ranges from 0 to 6.4, while the biggest one is 20 December 2022 M6.4 Ferndale Earthquake. We include waveforms from high-gain (EH, BH, and HH channels) and strong-motion (EN channels) seismometers and resample to 100 Hz. We describe the earthquake catalog and the temporal evolution of the data attributes (e.g., event magnitude type, channel type, waveform polarity, and signal-tonoise ratio, phase picks) as the network earthquake monitoring system evolved through time. We propose this AI-ready dataset as a new open-source benchmark dataset.

Reflective journals and pre-service teacher education and NEP-2020: A critical analysis
Authors: Padmanabha C. H.
Published: May 2023

The present education system demands reforms and constructive planning to meet the changing needs resulting from the changing global scenario and technological evolution. National Education Policy (NEP-2020) is a commendable effort to address this need. It places the teacher at the center of the fundamental reforms of the entire system. According to NEP-2020, teacher education programs are expected to adapt to the evolving demands of school education and the global landscape. The teacher education system should engage in providing a facilitator who contributes to the overall development of students for the student community. Therefore, increasing the efficiency of the teacher is the key to meeting the challenges of the 21st century teaching and learning process in the digital scenario. Reflection is an essential aspect of the learning process. Deep reflection prompts deeper learning. Deep reflection is anticipated for pre-service teachers to become professional teachers and for lifelong learning. Reviewing existing practices in teacher education for reflective practices is significant. The use of reflective journals has been identified as an effective tool to promote reflection in pre-service teachers. Studies have been conducted to explore the benefits of the use of reflective journals and the various ways in which journals can be used and assessed in teacher education programs. The studies have identified ways and strategies for promoting reflective thinking among pre-service teachers. However, the focus of this literature review is on the issue of writing reflective journals in pre-service teacher education programs.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the function of the Indonesian Social Health Insurance (BPJS) system for the provision of medical services, and to examine the differences and similarities between the public and private hospitals in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Theoretical framework: Service quality in BPJS is a public service that can be classified as all different kinds of goods and services as well. This means that the Indonesian government is responsible for all of the actions that take place within the organisation.
Method: The population of the study will primarily consist of patients who are treated at Hermina Daan Mogot, a private hospital, and Pasar Minggu Public Hospital. Path analysis is being used in this study, which is a quantitative descriptive research approach. The goal of the study is to meet the research objectives by evaluating a set of hypotheses. The data collection is carried out through the use of a hardcopy questionnaire, and the primary data is gathered from four hundred patients spread across Jakarta's two hospitals.
Results and conclusion: The outcomes of the research show that there is a favourable association between the BPJS and the level of satisfaction experienced by patients. In addition, the level of contentment expressed by patients regarding the quality of the treatment.
Implications of the research: The findings suggest that Cost does not influence Service Quality because it possessed a significant value of t-count greater than 0.05 for both Hermina Daan Mogot Private Hospital and Pasar MInggu Public Hospital.
Originality/value: The government regulated and established the financing, facility procurement, the source of the workforce, and the quality standard of the service, so that almost all dimensions of service can meet the desire and satisfaction of patients.
Managing Saudi Arabia's Talent in a Time of Crisis: How Does it Work?
Authors: Jamjoom Yussra Shihab
Published: May 2023

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate talent management in Saudi Arabia  collecting data from various organizations using a survey analysis.
 
Theoretical framework: Talent management is the process of identifying, recruiting, developing, and retaining talented individuals so that their extraordinary contributions can be fully realized. This process becomes less effective during crisis as organizations face enormous challenges when trying to manage their workforces. However, Research on talent management in Saudi Arabia or the Arab world, especially GCC countries, is noticeably sparse.
 
Design/methodology/approach: The study quantitively analyse data collected from a survey disseminated to experts and professionals working in several sectors in Jeddah, KSA, to gain some understanding about the talent management practices in general and during crises in particular.
 
Findings: The study finds that organizations in KSA adopt and apply practices of talent management. There appears to be no relationship between organisations size or type and the engagement of employees in the deployment of talent management practices. In addition, the study finds that there is no significant difference in applying talent management practises or in identifying and recruiting talent between the no-crisis and the crisis periods. However, a statistically significant difference was found in developing and retaining talent between the no-crisis and the crisis periods.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: the study suggest additional deeper interviews to gain more understanding of the specifics of talent management in KSA.
 
Originality/value: Findings of this study give a sense of satisfaction about the condition of talent management in Saudi Arabian organizations.
Small-Scale Vannamei Shrimp Farm Business Sustainability Analysis With Micmac: A Study on Kebumen Coastal Area, Indonesia
Authors: Ratnasari Emma Dwi , Susilowati Indah , Maria Nugroho Sumarjiyanto Benedictus
Published: May 2023

Purpose: The objective of this study was to identify the internal and external factors of the sustainability of the vannamei shrimp farming business and the relationship of influence and dependence between the factors.
 
Theoretical framework:  Sustainability is required to create a balance between nature and humans for the use of coastal space in Kebumen Regency as a development area for the shrimp farming business to be carried out sustainably and provide sustainable benefits, as well as to preserve existing resources for long-term sustainability (UN, 2020). Development that ignores the interaction of the two results in price increases, which leads to a general decline in human welfare (Fauzi, 2019). This is to the global development agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)., which call for Indonesia to become a maritime axis.
 
Design/methodology/approach:  The research used a participatory method with semi-structured and in-depth interviews with the shrimp farming community and FGD. The data were analyzed using the sustainability analysis technique of Matrix of Cross Impact Multiplications Applied to a Classification (MICMAC).
 
Findings:   Identification of key elements in the sustainability of shrimp farming is essential to overcome and limit the risk of uncertainty caused by external and internal disturbances and pressures on shrimp farms. Government policy is a variable that has a strong and large influence on the sustainability of the shrimp farming business, and good government policy will enable the shrimp farming business system to reduce the pressure and threat of continuity.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications:  Future research should focus on the management of shrimp farming and waste management to reduce the ecological, social, and economic impacts and the sustainability of shrimp farming that is environmentally and socially friendly.
 
Originality/value:   Government policy is a variable that has a strong and significant impact on aquaculture sustainability, with good government policies allowing the aquaculture system to reduce pressure and threats to shrimp. According to the facts on the ground, the shrimp farming business on the coast of Kebumen regency is operating independently due to a lack of attention, guidance, and policies governing the implementation of the shrimp aquaculture business.

Authors: Harlianto Jefta , Rudi
Published: May 2023

Purpose:  This research aims to study the impact of three drivers of employee experience (cultural environment, technological environment, and physical environment) toward employee performance.
 
Theoretical framework: This study will focus on association between various drivers of the employee experience which support in enhancing employee performance at the workplace.  This study integrates ACE technology, COOL physical spaces, and CELEBRATED culture as the three categories of employee experience that was constructed by Morgan (2017), while the three aspects of employee performance (task, adaptive, and contextual performance) are based on Pradhan & Jena (2017).
 
Design/methodology/approach:  This study was designed by using quantitative approach.  The study sample size is 201. The sampling method is using simple random sampling. The collected data was used to examine the model by using the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS).
 
Findings:  The empirical findings have demonstrated that the proposed research framework shows that there is positive significant effect of cultural environment on employee performance. The finding also shows that there is no effect of physical environment and technological environment on employee performance.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications:  This study is beneficial for the leaders to focus on the important drivers of employee experience that impact on employee performance. In short term, this organization needs to focus on cultural environment instead of physical environment and technological environment in order to increase the employee experience. In long term, this organization need to analyze whether employee expectation about physical and technological environment already meet their expectation.
 
Originality/value: It is not all employee experience drivers (cultural environment, technological environment, and physical environment) has impact toward employee performance.
