Clinical equipment is essential in a labour unit to assess, monitor, diagnose, and prevent complications during labour. The availability of good working equipment in the labour unit is needed to enhance optimal intrapartum monitoring and delivery for pregnant women. Thus, this paper employed a cross-sectional descriptive design using a quantitative research approach to ascertain how equipment impedes optimal intrapartum monitoring and delivery for pregnant women. A total of 59 midwives were recruited to participate in the study. Data collected using an electronic structured questionnaire were analysed with descriptive statistics using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.0. The study reported that most midwives (68%) in labour units experienced barriers to using equipment when administering care to pregnant women. The barriers were perpetuated by various factors, such as bed capacity, in meeting patient demands, including examination lights, overhead radiant warmers, and examination weighing scales for newborns. Incorporating mandatory computerized maintenance management software is recommended to improve the quality of maternity equipment. In addition, there is a need for regular equipment inspections and maintenance by skilled technicians in selected hospitals of Limpopo Province, South Africa.

Authors: Wuellner Melissa , Gates Roger , Turner Benjamin , Menendez Hector
Published: June 2023

Changes in land use from grassland to row crop agriculture may contribute to environmental degradation. Outreach efforts on this topic have largely targeted producers, but interactions with "influencers" may affect producers' conservation decisions. Consequently, we conducted a pilot implementation of a 1-day workshop for both producers and influencers on soil health and its impact on watersheds. We measured producers' knowledge gains and all participants' satisfaction with the workshop content and instruction. We also collected information from all participants regarding their past, present, and potential future use of or recommendations for using conservation practices. Our results may be useful for improving future workshop offerings and other initiatives intended to connect producers and influencers in learning.

Published: June 2023

The need for youth credit card education is clear given the many statistics indicating increasing credit card debt and an overall scarcity of credit card education targeting youths. The Teen$ Credit Card simulation program offers youths an opportunity to experience "owning" a credit card, using it, and realizing the consequences of carrying a high balance from month to month. Participants have a chance to discover the benefits and detriments of using a credit card in a safe environment before potentially making mistakes in real life. University of Idaho Extension educators have presented this program to over 550 youths in a variety of settings, with evaluation results indicating self-assessed increases in knowledge and planned positive behavior changes.

Published: June 2023

Background: We assessed the potential efficacy of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Methods: Seventy STEMI patients who presented ≤12 hours after the onset of symptoms and were scheduled for PPCI were randomly assigned to the standard treatments plus CoQ10 or placebo. In the intervention group, CoQ10, as an oral capsule at a dose of 400 mg, was loaded immediately before PPCI and continued at 200 mg twice daily for 28 days. The control group received a matching placebo, similarly. The study endpoints were the proportion of patients with complete myocardial reperfusion, defined as thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow and myocardial blush grade (MBG) 3 at the end of PPCI, the proportion of patients with complete ST-segment elevation resolution (≥70%) assessed 60 minutes after PPCI, the plasma levels of creatine kinase myocardial band isoenzyme (CK-MB) and troponin I (TnI) at 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after PPCI, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at day 28. Results: The study groups were comparable regarding baseline clinical and procedural characteristics. The proportion of patients with TIMI flow grade 3, MBG 3, and complete ST resolution after completion of PPCI was similar between the groups. Whereas at all-time points after PPCI (12, 24, 48, and 72 hours), the plasma levels of CK-MB and TnI were significantly lower in the CoQ10 group than in the control group. Further, at day 28, CoQ10-treated patients exhibited better LVEF than placebo-treated patients, and the proportion of patients with LVEF less than 50% was lower in the intervention group than in the control group. Conclusion: Our study provided evidence that CoQ10 supplementation might reduce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury after PPCI and help to preserve left ventricular function. However, further studies are required to validate these results.

Published: June 2023

It has been difficult to detach smaller abrasive nano-particles from polished surfaces. In this article, we observed the behaviors of Ø50, 70, and 300 nm SiO2 particles on a silica surface in an inevitable liquid nano-scale shear flow field as a rinse cleaning by using an evanescent light. These results implied that larger-sized particles were detached because the quantitative moment in the shear flow acting on the particle is considerably higher than those of the sub-100 nm particles. The acting moment would be able to describe the detachability of the nano-particles on the surface.

Published: June 2023

We demonstrated the effectiveness of plasma-free HCl gas etching on a SiO2-masked (010) β-Ga2O3 substrate. The etching process proceeded anisotropically in the window areas, resulting in the fabrication of holes or trenches that were surrounded by etching-resistant (100)- and (

01)-faceted sidewalls. When we etched in the striped windows along [001], we were able to create fins and trenches with flat (100)-faceted vertical sidewalls and slightly rough {310}-faceted inclined bottom corners. The vertical-to-horizontal etching ratio was as high as ∼11–14. Our findings indicate that HCl etching is a promising method for fabricating high-aspect-ratio fins/trenches on (010) substrates without causing plasma damage.

Authors: Dorkenoo Ameyo Monique , Afanyibo Yaovi-Gameli , Adjétey-Toglozombio Akovi Kiki , Mokli Afi Mawussime , Ataba Essoham , Prince David Mireille
Published: June 2023

Background: Vulvovaginal infections are common in women. In Togo’s medical biology laboratories, routine diagnosis is often limited to filamentation testing, and the identification of fungal species is rarely performed. The aim of this study was to update the spectrum of Candida species isolated in vulvovaginitis and to determine their antifungal susceptibility profiles. Methods: Cross-sectional analytical study was carried out in women presenting leukorrhea received in two public laboratories in Lomé from June 2015 to October 2015. Socio-demographic and clinical data were collected through a structured questionnaire during an individual interview. Vulvovaginal samples were cultured in Sabouraud dextrose agar with chloramphenicol. Identification of fungi was determined by filamentation test and API 20C AUX® gallery. The antifungal susceptibility profile was performed on five antifungal agents by a semi-solid medium microdilution technique of the ATB Fungus 3® gallery. Results: Candida albicans/dubliniensis/africana complex was isolated in 51.6% of cases by API 20C AUX® gallery. The same species were isolated by filamentation test in 12.3% of cases. All Candida species identified were sensitive to Voriconazole, whereas four species including Candida albicans/dubliniensis/africana complex had variable sensitivities compared to the five antifungal agents tested. Conclusions: This study demonstrated a high distribution of non-albicans species of Candida in Togo. Empirical treatment of candidiasis could contribute to increasing antifungal resistance. Routine fungi identification, at least by using an auxanogram test, could be instituted in medical laboratories to improve the therapeutic management of these diseases.

Supracondylar humerus fracture is the most common type of elbow fracture in children younger than 15 years. This hospital based prospective study evaluated different pinning xations which is used in the treatment of Gartland Type II and Gartland Type III supracondylar humeral fractures in children with closed fractures ≤7 days old, extension type, for comparing clinical, radiological and functional outcome of lateral parallel and divergent pinning for displaced supracondylar fractures in children.The study was conducted from May 2021 to May 2022. The mean age was 8.2 years for Divergent pinning group and for Parallel pinning group, the mean age was 9.2 years. Functional outcome were measured using Flynn's criteria & radiological outcome measured using Baumanns angle & carrying angle. Divergent pinning group had 12 males and 7 females while Parallel pinning group had 15 males and 5 females. The time interval between injury and surgery was less than 12 hours in 84.21% of Divergent pinning group & 95% in Parallel pinning group. In our study the duration of surgery was less than 35 minutes in 68.5% in Divergent pinning group and 85% in Parallel pinning group. Patients were followed up clinicoradiologically at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months & 6 months post operatively & assessed for elbow function, carrying angle, rate of union etc., during each follow up. In our study divergent pinning gave better results than parallel pinning as the latter encountered slower rate of union and varus deformities (loss of carrying angle and baumanns angle).

Published: June 2023

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the common cancers among women worldwide, with increasing incidence. This study was designed to assess the role of cervical cytology in detecting the various cervical lesions predisposed to cervical cancer with the special emphasis on squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL) and to predict the prevalence of these lesions and their association with Human papilloma virus (HPV). Patients and methods: This study enrolled 3500 women aged 17 years and above, presented with cervical lesions and attended for cytological evaluation of cervical smears. The data was retrieved from the archives of these patients for the period from January 2017 to December 2021.  All results were classified according to Bethesda system (2014) and statistically analyzed. Results:  the cytological examinations revealed that 91.7% of the submitted cases were negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy (NILM). Abnormal cellular changes were reported in 8.3% of the cases; Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion was the most common abnormality representing 4.7%, while High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion constituted 0.5% of the total cases. A HPV-DNA test was done to 220 cases; 52 cases (23.6%) were positive, most of them (73%) were of low-risk genotypes while high risk genotypes were reported in 27% of the cases. Conclusion: the cervical squamous abnormality has formed a low prevalence rate while HPV-DNA test has been detected in a considerable proportion of Iraqi patients. This fact discloses alarming evidence of a growing problem in the population that needs to introduce a screening program for early diagnosis of precancerous cervical lesions.

Published: June 2023

Abstract : Dental impression materials should always be disinfected after contact with a patient's blood, plaque or saliva to prevent contamination from spreading. The disinfectants could have an effect on the surface roughness and wettability properties. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect on the surface roughness and wettability properties of addition silicon impression material after immersion in two disinfectants (5.25% NaOCL for 10 min and 16 mg/ml propolis for 5,10, and 15 min). 50 heavy- and light-body addition impression materials specimens were randomly divided into test groups of five specimens for each test. The impression specimens were immersed into two disinfection solutions: 5.25% NaOCL for 10 min and 16 mg/ml propolis for 5,10,15 min but the control group received no treatment. A digital Profilometer was used to measure surface roughness while a Goniometer was used to measure the contact angle which was used to estimate the specimens' wettability. Accordingly, the study has s found that there was no statistically significant difference between the addition silicon imprint material's wettability and the surface roughness (P>0.05) when compared to the control group. The immersion in 16% propolis for 10 minutes shows no significant effect on the addition's wettability or surface roughness.

Published: June 2023

A booklet was developed in Canada in 2005 to inform family caregivers of people with dementia about end-of-life care. A Dutch version was published in 2011 after evaluation and revision. Developments in research and society call for a second revision. The aim of this study was to map out users’ (family caregivers and healthcare professionals) preferences regarding the look and feel, and content of the booklet. To this end, in addition to the current paper booklet, we created a prototype website and app, along with three illustration options. Twenty-one family caregivers and nineteen healthcare professionals completed a questionnaire about their preferences. Open ended questions were analyzed using content analysis, multiple-choice questions using descriptive analysis. The participants valued the question-answer format. They perceived the text as too medically oriented and they expressed a need for more inclusive language and broader information. The participants found images of people suitable for the booklet and they preferred the illustrations to be less focused on the medical context. The participants preferred the paper booklet and a website. By understanding family caregivers’ and healthcare professionals’ preferences, in the second revision, the booklet can be tailored to the user. It is expected that this tailoring will support informing family caregivers about end-of-life care.

Este artigo evidencia estudo realizado nos Portais Eletrônicos dos 25 municípios pertencentes ao Conselho Regional de Desenvolvimento (COREDE) das Missões, visando mensurar o Índice de Transparência da Gestão Pública Municipal (ITGP-M) para ano de 2019, comparando-o com o índice já encontrado em estudo anterior, no sentido de apontar continuidades e mudanças. Trata-se de estudo analítico, realizado via aplicação dos critérios de avaliação constantes no ITGP-M, o qual quantifica a transparência municipal em até 143 pontos, em seis categorias de informações. Os resultados apontam que a média geral do ITGP-M foi de 36,98, com a maior nota no município de Porto Xavier e a menor no município de Ubiretama, enquanto que em estudo anterior a média indicou 53,68. Os municípios em destaque foram São Paulo das Missões e Eugênio de Castro, que, mesmo diminuindo as pontuações, se mantiveram na mesma posição do ranking. Nota-se que, em um intervalo de apenas dois anos, as pontuações caíram drasticamente em diversos municípios, piorando uma situação que já não era das melhores em termos de transparência pública das informações em seus portais eletrônicos.

Aim: Preterm infant is deprived of various in-utero sensory experiences which have been documented as risk factor for prevalence of broad range of neurodevelopmental impairment in preterm infants. The present study evaluates the pain processing pattern in preterm neonates with and without known abnormalities using the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP)-a 7 indicator pain measure that include three behavioural (facial actions: brow bulge, eye squeeze and nasolabial furrow), two physiological (heart rate and oxygen saturation), and two contextual (gestational age and behavioural state).
Method: Neonates were randomly observed for receiving one of the following procedures: Dry cotton swab for simple touch (T), Cold and warm water wet cotton swabs for recording temperature perceptions (Tp), venous puncture in the back of the hand (P), considered as a painful stimulus; or alcohol swab friction on the back of the hand (F), considered as a distressing but not painful stimulus. A neonatologist evaluated physiologic and behavioral pain parameters. The evaluation of the perception includes utilizing Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) and PIPP.
Results: The mean pain score is 8.04 which is considered as moderate as per PIPP table. The standard deviation is 3.517. The probability distribution of pain is normal.
Conclusion: The pain perception according to the recorded score is moderate in the premature neonates and the perception score is comparatively high in preterm neonates with known abnormalities. The infants born at 29-31 weeks of gestational age group showed greatest changes in the hemodynamic patterns during exteroceptive painful stimulation.

The importance of production specifications in the process of efficient use of land resources of agricultural enterprises
Authors: Bahin Myhailo
Published: June 2023

The modern economy is undergoing significant structural changes, which entail an in-depth study of certain processes in the branches of the economy. Historically, the agricultural sector, which plays a decisive role in the economy of the region and the country as a whole, is the most relevant and requires a special approach due to its economic specificity. Currently, effective use of land resources, identification of problems of their implementation, development of key directions and implementation of measures to increase the efficiency of economic use of land fund play an important role in strengthening the country's economy, and is also of great importance for increasing the volume of agricultural products. Land, as one of the main factors of production, is crucial for the efficiency of the branches of the agro-industrial complex, since food security and the improvement of the quality of life of the population due to sufficient food supply depend on its rational use and maximum involvement in the agricultural cycle, ensuring high-quality and safe food products, sustainable development and modernization of agriculture, development of breeding livestock, plant selection, prevention of reduction of agricultural land areas, rational use of such lands. The issue of increasing the efficiency of land resource use has always been relevant, since land is the basis of agricultural production. Land resources, on the use of which a significant volume of food and the fund of consumer goods are formed, are the primary factor of production, and occupy the largest specific weight in the structure of the resource potential of agricultural enterprises. Therefore, increasing the efficiency of the use of land resources will contribute to the increase in the efficiency of the use of the entire resource potential. Effective use of agricultural land, in the conditions of organizational agricultural formations and their production specifics, is of strategic importance for the production of agro-industrial products for the consumer.

La situación de los estudios de historia demográfica en la etapa virreinal
Authors: Zegarra Moretti Carlos
Published: June 2023

Una decena de contribuciones se ocupan de explicar las consecuencias de la conquista española a través de las dinámicas poblacionales en distintos espacios del virreinato novohispano. Con el título Conquista y poblamiento. Los primeros registros parroquiales y demás fuentes tempranas para la historia demográfica del centro y norte de la Nueva España, siglos XIV-XVIII, editado por Chantal Cramaussel (Michoacán: El Colegio de Michoacán, 2021), el libro compilatorio ofrece aportes que se inscriben en la historia demográfica, las fuentes eclesiásticas y las repercusiones sociales de la conquista a nivel local. Si bien los trabajos se enfocan en regiones del actual México, el aporte de la obra amerita una lectura comparativa desde los Andes al identificarse algunas similitudes. Una discusión en conjunto puede estimular el desarrollo de la historia demográfica.
Del uso práctico de los papeles
Authors: Bohorquez Jesús
Published: June 2023

En el siglo XVIII los títulos de propiedad jugaron un rol central en la resolución de los conflictos por la tierra. Este artículo aborda las diferentes interacciones que los actores entablaron con los papeles (conservación, cuidado, pérdida, recuperación) no desde una perspectiva legal o teórica sino desde la perspectiva del uso, es decir, actores no como agentes sino como usuarios. El uso de los papeles hace referencia a un manejo no teórico o necesariamente consciente de los documentos y enfatiza el dilema de la preocupación, en la cual los actores interactuaban para transferir tales papeles al archivo. Se aborda el problema simultáneamente desde la perspectiva de las tierras comunales y de las tierras privadas. Generalmente, los trabajos sobre los así llamados «títulos primordiales» han tomado como foco de estudio a los pueblos de indios, y el manejo que las autoridades de las comunidades hicieron de los documentos. Sin embargo, no se tiende a contrastar el manejo que los indios hicieron de sus instrumentos o la necesidad que tenían de acudir a las instituciones para obtener copias de papeles, con lo que sucedió con los demás actores de la sociedad colonial. Este documento arroja luz sobre esta cuestión destacando las similitudes y las diferencias.

Published: June 2023

This paper translates and collates the contents of all the issues published by the Journal of the History of Collections, one of Oxford University Press Academic Journals, since its inception in 1989. It presents a detailed analysis of changes of article topics or themes in the Journal, based on which this paper demonstrates that the focus of research in this field has undergone three shifts on a decennial basis. By examining collectors’ social identities, motives for collecting, and changes in collection categories, this paper provides important insights into a theoretical framework that sustains the scholarship. It also provides a preliminary overview of current studies on the history of collections in both Chinese and Western academia. This paper seeks to provide some guidance for future explorations of the scholarship.
A montage of small movements

In 2016, I was invited by musician/composer B6 to devise a participatory work for the recently opened art space Reformer art in Hunan Lu, Shanghai. I had been intrigued by a question posed by human geographer Nigel Thrift: What happens if we look on kindness as a technology rather than an emotion; a way of producing generosity in the body, a positive affective swirl? If we produce maps of spaces in new sensory registers like geographies of kindness, might these “geographies. then leak out into the wider world?”...1 An observation by Mark Twain on the dynamics of rivers, guided my approach to distinguish three motions while exploring kindness in the built environment: turbulences (random acts of kindness), ripples (the effect on us when watching and relating such acts), and finally currents (reassuring myself and my companions that acts of kindness are part of a human undercurrent). With generous technical support from the team, I was able to install a large, circular map that covered a 20-min walking radius of the neighborhood. A projection of wandering ripples programmed to light up the locations where my walking companions had identified an act of kindness slowly changed the focus and purpose of the map toward emphasizing ephemeral moments, moments that energize our affective landscape. As signs of ongoing processes, these moments were not part of determinant systems; instead, they were undeclared yet consequential actions. During Chinese New Year 2017, I revisited the locations that had hosted acts of kindness back in November 2016 and from these reflections – A reading with my feet – The following transcript for a meditative film essay on movement and how it agitates the air; on environments and the incipient; on kindness as technology and kindness as an emotion, emerged.

Based on advanced techniques, both the brain structural network and functional network can be reflected, giving rise to a new field: neural networks. Entering the 21st century, along with the extensive research on neural networks and the digital brain imaging field of neuromodulation, the neurosurgical field has entered into a novel stage: neural networks surgery. Neural networks surgery was developed to devote to protecting the cognitive function of patients with central nervous system diseases. By lucubrate, multiple new views of cerebrovascular disease have emerged. In this paper, we review the applications of this novel concept in treating cerebrovascular diseases, primarily through three aspects: disease mechanism, progression, and treatment strategy. Based on recent research, the development of a novel treatment system for cerebrovascular diseases might help clarify the course of these diseases, provide optimal treatment strategies, and protect the cognitive function of patients to the greatest extent.
