The background that drives this research is the low character of students' environmental care and the absence of innovative character education at Kalicari 02 State Elementary School. The solution to this problem is the Development of an Outbound-Based Game Model in Environmental Care Character in Fifth Grade Elementary School Students. The problem formulations in this study are 1) How is the validity and feasibility of developing an Outbound-based Game Model in Environmental Care Characters in Grade V Elementary School Students, 2) How is the effectiveness of the Outbound-based Game Model in Environmental Care Character in Primary School Grade V Students in improving students' environmental care character. The objectives of this study are 1) To determine the validity and feasibility of developing an outbound-based game model in the character of environmental care in grade V elementary school students, 2) To determine the effectiveness of the Outbound-based Game Model in Environmental Care Character in Grade V Elementary School Students in improving students' environmental care character. The type of research used in this study is research and development (Research and Development) with the ADDIE development model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implementation, Evaluation). The resulting product is an outbound-based game model in the character of environmental care that has been implemented at Kalicari 02 State Elementary School. The Outbound-Based Game Model in Environmental Care Character in Class V Elementary School Students received model validation results of 85% and 95% with "very feasible" criteria and material validation results of 88% and 93% with "very feasible" criteria. The results of the teacher response practicality questionnaire get a percentage of 91% with the criteria "very feasible".  The results of the student questionnaire before treatment obtained a percentage of 60% with the criterion "not feasible". Then for the results of the student questionnaire after treatment obtained a percentage of 88% with the criteria "very feasible". It can be concluded that the Development of Outbound-Based Game Models in Environmental Care Characters in Grade V Elementary School Students is valid, feasible to use and can improve the environmental care character of elementary school students. Based on the results of this study, the suggestion that can be provided is that the outbound-based game model in environmental care character can be used as an alternative teacher in improving students' environmental care character.

Metamaterial Inspired Resonators as Microwave Sensors: A Review
Authors: Srivastava Rajat , Kale Sangeeta
Published: August 2023

Metamaterial-based devices show properties like negative magnetic permeability and negative electrical permittivity, which are not found naturally. Due to their extraordinary sensitivity to nearby perturbations, metamaterial structures have recently emerged as highly desirable and effective techniques of detection. Wide dynamic range, multi-functionality, and simple design and production are a few benefits of metamaterial-based structures. The sensitivity and limit of detection for sensors based on metamaterials can be enhanced by properly altering the device parameters. With the inclusion of microfluidics in metamaterial-based sensors, the sensitivity, selectivity, and detection limit can also be improved. In this review, we have focused on the various meta-surfaces employed for sensing purposes. We have provided a brief introduction to the principle and working of sensors based on meta-surfaces. The main content of the paper is a detailed review of metamaterial-inspired microwave sensor device applications in different fields. These fields include applications in biological sensing, chemical and fuel sensing, physical sensing (includes temperature, strain, displacement, and thickness measurement), and non-destructive techniques for structural health monitoring.

Жито озиме – цінна продовольча, кормова і технічна культура. Хліб із житнього борошна висококалорійний, містить повноцінні білки, багато легкозасвоюваних вуглеводів, вітамінів тощо. Жито – цінна кормова культура (висівки, кормове борошно, зелена маса). Воно має велике агротехнічне значення як попередник. У сучасних умовах ведення сільського господарства інтенсивна технологія вирощування озимих зернових культур (пшениці, жита, тритікале тощо) як обов’язкові елементи її застосування включає не менше 13 пунктів агротехніки, серед них і ті два, які мають місце в назві теми. У статті наведено результати досліджень щодо формування урожайності зерна жита озимого залежно від норм висіву насіння (млн схожих насінин на 1 га) та строків внесення мінеральних добрив (фосфорно-калійних фон та азотних у два підживлення (дробне внесення азоту) в умовах виробництва). На нашу думку, вибрані питання для дослідження у технології вирощування жита озимого відіграють важливу роль для підвищення його врожайності. На основі проведених спостережень та обліків установлено, що в умовах західного Лісостепу України на чорноземних ґрунтах продуктивна кущистість жита озимого в середньому за два роки досліджень залежала від норми висіву і знаходилася в межах від 1,4 до 2,8, а строки внесення азотних дорив не мали на неї впливу. Висота рослин зростала зі збільшенням норми висіву насіння від 3,0 до 5,0 млн схожих насінин на 1 га та дворазового внесення азотних добрив і становила в середньому від 89,2 до 113,0 см. Подібні ствердження стосуються і площі листкової поверхні, яка в середньому становила 45,6 тис м2/га (була найбільшою) за норми висіву 5,0 млн шт./га та двох внесень азотних добрив. Тоді як урожайність жита була вищою в 2021 р. і сягала 51,8 ц/га за нормі висіву 4,0 млн шт./га схожих насінин та за двох азотних підживлень.

Objectives. Evaluation and therapeutic management of pediatric patients having Henoch-Schönlein purpura with renal and joint involvement and the importance of their follow-up in preventing complications. Material and Methods: The present study follows cases of two patients, diagnosed with Henoch-Schönlein purpura, with different degrees of compliance, in which the therapeutic approach was determined by the severity of the patient’s conditions. Outcomes. Two male children with Henoch-Schönlein purpura, aged 11 and 9, shared the same clinical features, including skin lesions and joint involvement. The first case may be distinguished from the second one, due to renal injury, a significantly worsen general condition, more widespread purpura, and lower treatment conformity. Laboratory analyses revealed elevated D-Dimers between inflammatory markers, therefore corticotherapy and anticoagulants were initiated. Under the prescribed treatment, both children’s shapes improved, but the first one decided to be discharged on request before being fully recovered. Conclusions. In addition to symptomatic treatment, leisure, corticotherapy administration, and monitoring levels in blood pressure and renal function, patient compliance is highly important related to the prevention of chronic kidney disease at a later stage.
Hepatitis B virus associated cirrhosis: overview of prognostic and management

Published: August 2023

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health problem ; two billion people worldwide have evidence of past or present infection with HBV, and 296 million individuals are chronic carriers (i.e., positive for hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]), of whom approximately 887,000 dies annually from HBV-related liver disease: chronic hepatitis B-associated cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. There are described some risk factors to the development of cirrhosis to HBV-infected persons: alcohol consumption, HBeAg status, metabolic syndrome, HBV genotypes and variants, and the level of HBV replication. The observation of a strong association between the development and decompensation of cirrhosis as well as between the development of HCC and the level of HBV replication suggests that suppression of HBV replication by long-term antiviral treatment may decrease the risk of complications in patients with HBV-related cirrhosis. The indication for antiviral treatment is given if any HBV DNA levels are detectable in the serum of HBV-infected patients with cirrhosis. Into the new era of antiviral treatment with nucleos(t)ide analogs we can prevent the development of cirrhosis in patients with chronic HBV infection and hepatic decompensation in many patients with HBV-related cirrhosis.

Background. The present study aimed to know the association and causal relationship of neck pain with different primary and mixed-type headache disorders. Material and methods. The primary patients with headaches attending the Department of Neurology OPD throughout one-year were included in the study. The demographic features, detailed history of headaches, and the characteristics of neck pain were entered in the pre-designed proforma. With the collaboration of the Department of Neurology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, Department of Neurology, Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow and the Department of Neurology, IMS and SUM Hospital, Bhubaneswar, India. Results. A total of 601 primary headache patients were included in the study, among which a fraction of 66.4% (n=399) had the problem of neck pain either as a pre-disposing event or as a part of the headache. Females were predominately higher than males with a fraction of 67.6%. Among all the patients a fraction of 21% (n=84) had a migraine, 51% (n=203) had a tension-type headache (TTH) and 28% (n=112) had a mixed-type headache. Though several patients with migraine had neck pain as a part of migraine, neck pain was significantly associated with tension and mixed type headache than migraine headache (p<0.001 vs p=0.35). Among the mixed-quality of headaches; chronic TTH (CTTH) with episodic migraine (EM) was most common (54.5%, n=61), followed by CTTH with chronic migraine (CM) at 33% (n=37). Conclusion. The presence of neck pain in migraine headaches showed an increased association with TTH whereas the reverse may not be true. This is yet to prove whether this is a mere association or a causal relationship.

Duplication cysts are congenital anomalies that typically have some connection to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, but in rare cases the cysts can be completed isolated from the GI tract. We present the case of an appropriate for gestational age male infant born at 40 weeks gestational age with neonatal intestinal duplication cyst isolated from the GI tract. Postnatal diagnostic methods included ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on abnormal antenatal findings. The positive diagnosis was based on the imaging results. Duplication cysts may remain asymptomatic and that is the reason why antenatal and postnatal US screening plays an important key role in the diagnosis. Series of imaging may confirm the diagnosis, prevent future complication and help the clinician to determine the optimal operative moment.

Objectives. We present a very rare case of incomplete Graham-Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome (GLPLS) overlap with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) versus Multiple Autoimmune Syndrome (MAS). Case Presentation. A 53- year-old female with a long history of more than two years of patchy hair loss on scalp like “footprints in the snow”, partial loss of eyebrows' hair, face erythema, scaly atrophied red/brown patches on face, grouped follicular papules 2-3 mm in diameter with a pointed or hair-like horny spine extending approximately 1-2 mm around the tip of the follicle on lumbar area. The histopathological results from biopsies of scalp and lumbar areas confirmed the clinical diagnosis of cicatricial alopecia induced by lichen plan pilaris (LPP) and also presence of lichen spinulosus (LS) on lumbar area. The description provided by pathologist is however borderline regarding so called interface dermatosis like chronic cutaneous lupus erythematous (CCLE) or Pseudopelade of Brocq (PPB) as the end stage of CCLE or LPP. Blood tests showed both Antinuclear antibodies and U1-nRNP in high titers and the absence of anti-Sm, anti SS-A, anti SS-B and anti-dsDNA antibodies, and also peculiar antibody patterns of MCTD. Outcome. After thorough investigation, MCTD was proven by antibodies results. After one year of treatment a lot of clinical features dramatically responded under therapy. Conclusions. Clinical manifestations in the pathology with strictly cutaneous or systemic localization in conjunction or overlap with other autoimmune diseases (grouped in the MAS) represent a rare diagnostic in daily practice.

A diretriz do trabalho seguiu o método de pesquisa científica qualitativa na modalidade bibliográfica. Assim, buscou-se compulsar detidamente a literatura acadêmica especializada da Psicologia e das Ciências Jurídicas para promover uma apropriada articulação teorética que permita melhor pensar os institutos. A pesquisa inicia-se pela apresentação do sentido nuclear da inimputabilidade por transtorno mental. Passa, então, para uma análise que tem por partida o sentido de doença mental no Código Penal. Ao final, vem a revelar o sentido de transtorno bipolar e sua consideração pelo Direito Penal. O resultado consubstancia-se em um texto que anseia contribuir para a comunidade acadêmica pela proposta do didatismo inerente à metodologia adotada.
Calderón y el drama barroco según Walter Benjamin enEl origen del Trauerspiel alemán(1928)
Authors: DE CAMPS JACOBO
Published: August 2023

El objetivo de este artículo es reconstruir el lugar que ocupa Calderón de la Barca en la fallida tesis posdoctoral de Walter Benjamin,Ursprung des deutschen Trauerspiels(1928) [El origen del Trauerspiel alemán]. Benjamin consideraba el teatro de Calderón como el tema virtual ‘virtuelle Gegenstand’) de su tesis, y así se lo expresó por escrito a su amigo Gershom Scholem. Sin embargo, la interpretación de Benjamin del dramaturgo español no ha suscitado suficiente atención en los estudios hispánicos y sobre el teatro barroco, salvo notables excepciones. Primero describo las características delTrauerspiel, o drama barroco, que según Benjamin representa las coordenadas religiosas de la Edad Moderna, y después reconstruyo los comentarios críticos de Benjamin sobre Calderón, así como la dialéctica que Benjamin establece entre el teatro barroco español y el alemán. Finalmente, concluyo que Benjamin reivindica el teatro barroco no solo como alternativa a las escuelas neoclásica y romántica, sino también porque en su interpretación este teatro inaugura la crisis existencial de la modernidad.

Published: August 2023

The opportunity of this research topic lies in the current extremely challenging geopolitical context that has led to the outbreak of multiple crises: energy, economic, social, financial, food, etc. The European Union has thus positioned itself in the face of these phenomena by creating several instruments to manage crises and increase resilience: civil protection mechanism, integrated mechanism for political response to crises, cross-border cooperation and solidarity mechanisms, food security crisis plans, resilience measures against physical and digital risks.The paper aims to analyse the necessity of changing the regional approach across the EU under the impact of the pandemic. Specific regional socio-economic indicators for EU NUTS2 regions are analysed during 2010–2021. The main objective of this research is to quantify the regional socioeconomic and to realise comparative analysis related to three moments in time: the latest EU enlargement, the economic crisis and the pandemic. The novelty of the study was the building of a new dynamic multi-criteria model assessing the strategic perspective, which was built to offer pertinent solutions for the regional decision makers in order to ensure cohesion and sustainable development on short and medium term.
Iron-rich Metal-poor Stars and the Astrophysics of Thermonuclear Events Observationally Classified as Type Ia Supernovae. I. Establishing the Connection
Authors: Reggiani Henrique , Schlaufman Kevin C. , Casey Andrew R.
Published: August 2023

The progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms responsible for the thermonuclear events observationally classified as Type Ia supernovae are uncertain and difficult to uniquely constrain using traditional observations of Type Ia supernova host galaxies, progenitors, light curves, and remnants. For the subset of thermonuclear events that are prolific producers of iron, we use published theoretical nucleosynthetic yields to identify a set of elemental abundance ratios infrequently observed in metal-poor stars but shared across a range of progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms: [Na, Mg, Co/Fe] < 0. We label stars with this abundance signature “iron-rich metal-poor,” or IRMP stars. We suggest that IRMP stars formed in environments dominated by thermonuclear nucleosynthesis and consequently that their elemental abundances can be used to constrain both the progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms responsible for thermonuclear explosions. We identify three IRMP stars in the literature and homogeneously infer their elemental abundances. We find that the elemental abundances of BD +80 245, HE 0533–5340, and SMSS J034249.53–284216.0 are best explained by the (double) detonations of sub-Chandrasekhar-mass CO white dwarfs. If our interpretation of IRMP stars is accurate, then they should be very rare in globular clusters and more common in the Magellanic Clouds and dwarf spheroidal galaxies than in the Milky Way’s halo. We propose that future studies of IRMP stars will quantify the relative occurrences of different thermonuclear event progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms.
Is There an Earth-like Planet in the Distant Kuiper Belt?
Authors: Lykawka Patryk Sofia , Ito 伊藤 Takashi 孝士
Published: August 2023

The orbits of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) can indicate the existence of an undiscovered planet in the outer solar system. Here we used N-body computer simulations to investigate the effects of a hypothetical Kuiper Belt planet (KBP) on the orbital structure of TNOs in the distant Kuiper Belt beyond ∼50 au. We used observations to constrain model results, including the well-characterized Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS). We determined that an Earth-like planet (m ∼ 1.5–3 M
⊕) located on a distant (semimajor axis a ∼ 250–500 au, perihelion q ∼ 200 au) and inclined (i ∼ 30°) orbit can explain three fundamental properties of the distant Kuiper Belt: a prominent population of TNOs with orbits beyond Neptune’s gravitational influence (i.e., detached objects with q > 40 au), a significant population of high-i objects (i > 45°), and the existence of some extreme objects with peculiar orbits (e.g., Sedna). Furthermore, the proposed KBP is compatible with the existence of identified gigayear-stable TNOs in the 2:1, 5:2, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, and 6:1 Neptunian mean motion resonances. These stable populations are often neglected in other studies. We predict the existence of an Earth-like planet and several TNOs on peculiar orbits in the outer solar system, which can serve as observationally testable signatures of the putative planet’s perturbations.
Feasibility of Correlated Extensive Air Shower Detection with a Distributed Cosmic-Ray Network
Authors: Albin Eric K. , Whiteson Daniel
Published: August 2023

We explore the sensitivity offered by a global network of cosmic-ray detectors to a novel, unobserved phenomenon: widely separated simultaneous extended air showers. Existing localized observatories work independently to observe individual showers, offering insight into the source and nature of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays. However no current observatory is large enough to provide sensitivity to anticipated processes such as the Gerasimova–Zatsepin effect or potential new physics that generate simultaneous air showers separated by hundreds to thousands of kilometers. A global network of consumer electronics (the Cosmic Rays Found In Smartphones (CRAYFIS) experiment), may provide a novel opportunity for observation of such phenomena. Two user scenarios are explored. In the first, with maximal user adoption, we find that statistically significant discoveries of spatially separated but coincident showers are possible within a couple years. In the second, more practical adoption model with 106 active devices, we find a worldwide CRAYFIS to be sensitive to novel “burst” phenomena where many simultaneous extensive air showers (EAS) occur at once.

Previous Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) longslit observations of Eta Carinae (η Car) identified numerous absorption features in both the stellar spectrum, and in the adjacent nebular spectra, along our line of sight (LOS). The absorption features became temporarily stronger when the ionizing far-ultraviolet radiation field was reduced by the periastron passage of the secondary star. Subsequently, dissipation of a dusty structure in our LOS has led to a long-term increase in the apparent brightness of η Car, an increase in the ionizing ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and the disappearance of absorption from multiple velocity-separated shells extending across the foreground Homunculus lobe. We use HST/STIS spectro-images, coupled with published infrared and radio observations, to locate this intervening dusty structure. The velocity and spatial information indicate the occulter is ≈1000 au in front of η Car. The Homunculus is a transient structure composed of dusty, partially ionized ejecta that eventually will disappear due to the relentless rain of ionizing radiation and wind from the current binary system along with dissipation and mixing with the interstellar medium. This evolving complex continues to provide an astrophysical laboratory that changes on human timescales.

We use a suite of 3D simulations of star-forming molecular clouds, with and without stellar feedback, magnetic fields, and driven turbulence, to study the compression and expansion rates of the gas as functions of density. We show that, around the mean density, supersonic turbulence promotes rough equilibrium between the amounts of compressing and expanding gas, consistent with continuous gas cycling between high- and low-density states. We find that the inclusion of protostellar jets produces rapidly expanding and compressing low-density gas. We find that the gas mass flux peaks at the transition between the lognormal and power-law forms of the density probability distribution function (PDF). This is consistent with the transition density tracking the post-shock density, which promotes an enhancement of mass at this density (i.e., shock compression and filament formation). At high densities, the gas dynamics are dominated by self-gravity: the compression rate in all of our runs matches the rate of the run with only gravity, suggesting that processes other than self-gravity have little effect at these densities. The net gas mass flux becomes constant at a density below the sink formation threshold, where it equals the star formation rate. The density at which the net gas mass flux equals the star formation rate is one order of magnitude lower than our sink threshold density, corresponds to the formation of the second power-law tail in the density PDF, and sets the overall star formation rates of these simulations.

Recent observations with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) of two anomalous X-ray pulsars provided evidence that X-ray emission from magnetar sources is strongly polarized. Here we report on the joint IXPE and XMM-Newton observations of the soft γ-repeater SGR 1806–20. The spectral and timing properties of SGR 1806–20 derived from XMM-Newton data are in broad agreement with previous measurements; however, we found the source at an all-time low persistent flux level. No significant polarization was measured apart from the 4–5 keV energy range, where a probable detection with PD = 31.6% ± 10.5% and

was obtained. The resulting polarization signal, together with the upper limits we derive at lower and higher energies (2–4 and 5–8 keV, respectively), is compatible with a picture in which thermal radiation from the condensed star surface is reprocessed by resonant Compton scattering in the magnetosphere, similar to what was proposed for the bright magnetar 4U 0142+61.
The Spatial Distribution of the Unidentified 2.07 μm Absorption Feature on Europa and Implications for its Origin
Authors: Davis M. Ryleigh , Brown Michael E. , Trumbo Samantha K.
Published: August 2023

A weak absorption feature at 2.07 μm on Europa’s trailing hemisphere has been suggested to arise from radiolytic processing of an endogenic salt, possibly sourced from the interior ocean. However, if the genesis of this feature requires endogenic material to be present, one might expect to find a correlation between its spatial distribution and the recently disrupted chaos terrains. Using archived near-infrared observations from the Very Large Telescope/SINFONI with a ∼1 nm spectral resolution and a linear spatial resolution ∼130 km, we examine the spatial distribution of this feature in an effort to explore this endogenic formation hypothesis. We find that, while the presence of the 2.07 μm feature is strongly associated with the irradiation pattern on Europa’s trailing hemisphere, there is no apparent association between the presence or depth of the absorption feature and Europa’s large-scale chaos terrain. This spatial distribution suggests that the formation pathway of the 2.07 μm feature on Europa is independent of any endogenous salts within the recent geology. Instead, we propose that the source of this feature may simply be a product of the radiolytic sulfur cycle or arise from some unidentified parallel irradiation process. Notably, the 2.07 μm absorption band is absent from the Pwyll crater ejecta blanket, suggesting that radiolytic processing has not had enough time to form the species responsible and placing a lower limit on the irradiation timescale. We are unable to find a plausible spectral match to the 2.07 μm feature within the available laboratory data.

Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a rare occurrence in patients under 40 years of age without positive family history for coronary artery disease (CAD). Genetic conditions as inherited thrombophilia can lead to a hypercoagulable state, resulting in thromboembolic events and arterial thrombosis.
CASE SUMMARY: We present a case of a 35-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency room with an inferior MI after a strenuous cycling exercise. An urgent coronary angiography showed thrombotic formations in the right coronary artery without atherosclerotic plaques. Plain old balloon angioplasty and thrombus aspiration were performed, which was followed by GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor infusion and unfractionated heparin for 24 h. From past medical history, the patient had COVID-19 like symptoms 20 days before the event and had his first dose of anti- COVID vaccine 2 weeks prior. After additional testing, molecular genetic analysis results revealed the patient to be heterozygous for factor V Leiden (FVL) and homozygous for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T gene mutation. The patient was discharged on direct oral anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy. After 1-year follow-up, he had no symptoms or recurrent cardiovascular events.
CONCLUSION: Inherited thrombophilia is а significant risk factor for CAD and performing genetic testing in younger patients with a cardiovascular  event and plays an important role for adequate treatment and prophylaxis from recurrent complications. The use of oral anticoagulation for prophylaxis is shown to be effective in these patients. However, further studies are needed to prove their exact role and duration of treatment.
Precaution Practice to Safety Preventive Measure Control among Health-care Providers in Critical Care Units of Al-Anbar Governorate: A Hospital-based Study
Authors: Rashid Hayman Mohammed Saeed , Hamad Kareem
Published: August 2023

AIM: Health-care-associated infections (HAI) are a serious patient safety problem. There are effective preventive practices, but little information on adherence in AL-Anbar hospitals. This study aims to identify the practice association of health-care providers (HCPs) in infection prevention with some sociodemographic characteristics.
METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted at different three critical areas (critical (or coronary) care unit, respiratory care unit, and intensive care unit) of the three largest hospitals of Fallujah Teaching Hospital, Ramadi Gynecology-Pediatric Hospital, and Ramadi Teaching Hospital in Al-Anbar, Iraq. A prepared questionnaire by the researcher for the study was conducted and involved 9 questions about sociodemographic characteristics and 17 questions about practice characteristics. Chi-square and frequency distribution were used to identify the significance of the variables’ association at the p = 0.05.
RESULTS: Among 67 health-care providers (HCPs) of the present study, the highest proportion involved were at age 25–29 years with 30 (44.8%) with mean ± SD (28.35 ± 6.2), 71.6% of them were male gender, 32 (47%) of them had a diploma degree in education, and their occupation was rotator nurse 28 (41.8%). Nearly half of 31 (46.3%) of HCPs used all available aseptic techniques. Statistically, a significant association was reported between the practice level and aseptic technique using (p = 0.032), respiratory hygiene (p = 0.01), and sharp safety engineering and work practice controls (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: Despite the availability of good procedures for HCPs, preferable to make efforts to decrease the minority absence of practice due to little education by continuing training and measurable control on HCPs for better performance in critical areas particularly.
