Improving Use of Antibiotics for Pediatric Pneumonia in Community Hospital Emergency Departments
Authors: Sundberg Melissa , Sexton Jessica R. , Smith Alla , Toomey Sara L.
Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

The majority of pediatric patients present to community-hospital emergency departments (EDs). Pneumonia is among the most common reasons for ED visits; however, prescribing narrow-spectrum antibiotics occurs at rates below established best practices. We sought to increase prescription of narrow-spectrum antibiotics for pediatric pneumonia in 5 community hospital EDs using an interdisciplinary learning collaborative. We aimed to increase use of narrow spectrum antibiotics from 60% to 80% by December 2018.

METHODS

A collaborative of 5 community hospitals developed quality improvement teams who held quarterly meetings over a 1 year period engaging teams in Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles. Interventions included deployment of an evidenced based guideline, educational interventions, and order set modification. Preintervention data were collected for 12 months. Using a standardized data form, teams collected monthly data during the intervention period and for an additional year after to assess for sustainability. Teams evaluated data using statistical process control charts and included any patient 3 months to 18 years with a diagnosis of pneumonia.

RESULTS

The aggregated rate of narrow-spectrum antibiotic prescriptions increased from 60% during the baseline period to 78% during the intervention period. During the year after active implementation, this aggregate rate increased to 92%. Differences in prescribing patterns were noted by provider type, but narrow-spectrum antibiotic use improved for both general emergency medicine and pediatric providers. No return visits to the ED for failure of antibiotic treatment within 72 hours occurred.

CONCLUSIONS

An interdisciplinary community hospital learning collaborative increased prescribing narrow-spectrum antibiotics by both general and pediatric ED providers.

The fifth volume of the Çukuriçi Höyük series deals with the stratigraphy and architecture of Early Bronze Age settlements. In Early Bronze Age 1, a hitherto unique metalworking center for the region of western Anatolia is found at Çukuriçi Höyük. The large-scale excavations uncovered a densely built-up settlement area, which consisted of numerous buildings that can be accessed from squares and paths. In addition to the building materials used in the individual room units, this volume also deals with different construction techniques, accessibility, and installations such as ovens and hearths. Detailed stratigraphic and building research studies also clearly show that the living and workshop areas successively expanded from free-standing buildings to an agglutinating construction method over the settlement mound. Based on the new excavation results and taking into account interdisciplinary studies, statements can be made about the sociocultural structure of the Early Bronze Age metalworking center at Çukuriçi Höyük. A close examination of the research results thus generates new perspectives and interpretative approaches for the social structure at the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC in western Anatolia and the Aegean.

Published: June 2023

SARS-CoV-2 infection still poses health threats especially to older and immunocompromised individuals. New emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2, including Omicron and Arcturus, have been challenging the effectiveness of humoral immunity resulting from repeated vaccination and infection. With recent study implying a wave of new mutants in vaccinated people making them more susceptible to the newest variants and fueling a rapid viral evolution, there is a need for alternative or adjunct approaches against coronavirus infections other than vaccines. Our earlier work indicated that a specific combination of micronutrients and phytochemicals can inhibit key infection mechanisms shared by SARS-CoV-2 and its variants in vitro. Here we demonstrate in vivo that an intake of this micronutrient combination before and during infection of mice with engineered SARS-CoV-2 virions and HCoV-229E virus results in a significant decrease in viral load and level of spike protein in the lungs. This was accompanied by decreased inflammatory response, including TNFα, IL1β, ILα, and IL17. These and our earlier results confirm that by targeting multiple mechanisms simultaneously by a combination treatment we can effectively and safely challenge SARS-CoV-2 and HCoV-229E virus. If clinically confirmed, such an approach could complement already in-use preventive and therapeutic strategies against coronavirus infections.

Published: June 2023

Aim of the study: In the years 1995–1999, at 21 sites within the broadly understood center of Poznań, research on the development of chestnut Aesculus hippocastanum L. was carried out. As part of this research, selected environmental factors were analysed. The aim was to become familiar with the conditions of tree development in the urban and industrial agglomeration of Poznań. Material and methods: Knowledge of tree development limiting factors in urban conditions allows to take actions that will eliminate them or limit their negative impact on the development of trees, including their biometric parameters. The implementation of such actions will neutralise or compensate for undesirable processes in the urban environment. As a consequence, it will allow for unlimited environment-generating functions by trees such as: CO2 assimilation, oxygen release, water vapour transpiration, dust retention, phytoncide production or noise suppression. Results and conclusions: Research on the development of 35 chestnut trees at 21 streets included: seasonal periodicity of trees, recording air temperature and humidity, physico-chemical analysis of the substrate, biometric measurements and, at eight sites, selected physiological parameters, such as photosynthesis and transpiration. In total, over 17,000 numerical data about the environment were collected. The graphs in this paper present mainly the relationship between environmental parameters and biometric measurements at a highly significant level in terms of statistics, i.e. for p ≤ 0.01.

Aim of the study: The paper describes the problems of collecting, processing and sharing geospatial data on the example of the National Geodetic and Cartographic Resource (GUGiK). The Central Office of Geodesy and Cartography (GUGiK), on the basis of the acquired data, prepares spatial databases for the whole country, such as the database of topographic objects (BDOT) or the numerical terrain model. These data are used for further studies, environmental analyses such as hydrographic or sozological maps of Poland. Material and methods: The article indicates what functionalities and, above all, what geospatial data are collected in the geoportal, a government map service managed by the General Office of Geodesy and Cartography. The study included a survey of the geoportal. The purpose of the survey was to obtain information on whether this service is known to potential audiences seeking information on spatial data. Results and conclusions: The survey proved that the geoportal is a popular service used to display and process spatial data. Survey respondents use a lot of the data collected in the geoportal and take advantage of its functionality. Finally, an analysis was carried out of data obtained from the District Geodetic and Cartographic Documentation Center of Małopolska regarding the number of notifications of geodetic works, the number of applications for access to materials from the PZGiK, and the number of applications for extracts or extracts from the cadastral record - for the period 2014-2019.
Cult/Art
Authors: Dudeck [M]
Published: June 2023

The American presidency of Donald J. Trump has been notorious in its disregard for established norms, while his radical reformation of the American project have led many to equate his presidency to a work of “performance art.” The worship of his followers and the devotion of his Republican base have led to Trump being hailed as a “flawed redeemer,” and all those who worship him as a new form of “religious cult.” News and media anchors regularly refer to the former American president as a cult leader, a performance artist, or both; yet neither signifiers are ever contextualized within the history of religion, or western art by those who invoke them. Both the performance artist and the cult leader are contemporary media constructions that activate the religious imagination through intrigue and horror. As an artist inventing a religion as art, and a scholar of new religious movements, I present this article as an excavation of these signifiers and speculate upon their unique conflation around the unprecedented American presidency of Donald J. Trump.
Coastline and shoreline change assessment in sandy coasts based on machine learning models and high-resolution satellite images
Authors: Giang Linh Tuan , Dang Kinh Bac , Bui Thanh Quang
Published: June 2023

Changes to the coastline or shoreline arise from the water's dynamic interaction with the land surface, which is triggered by ocean currents, waves, and winds. Various methods have been proposed to identify and monitor coastlines and shorelines, but their outcomes are uncertain. This study proposes indicators for identifying coastlines and shorelines in the fields and on the remote sensing data. Different pixel- and object-based machine learning (ML) models were built to automatically interpret coastlines and shorelines from high-resolution remote sensing images and monitor coastal erosion in Vietnam. Two pixel-based models using Random Forest and SVM structures and eight object-based models using U-Net, and U-Net3+ structures were trained. All models were trained using the high-resolution images gathered using Google Earth Pro as input data. The U-Net achieves the most remarkable performance of 98% with a loss function of 0.16 when utilizing an input-image size of 512×512.

Object-based models have shown higher performance in analyzing coastlines and shorelines with linear and continuous structures than pixel-based models. Additionally, the coastline is appropriate to evaluate coastal erosion induced by the effect of sea-level rise during storms. At the same time, the shoreline is suited to observe seasonal tidal fluctuations or the instantaneous movements of current waves. Under the pressure of tourist development, the coasts in Danang and Quang Nam provinces have been eroded in the last 10 years. River and ocean currents also cause erosion in the southern Cua Dai estuary. In the future, the trained U-Net model can be used to monitor the changes in coastlines and shorelines worldwide.

El objetivo de la investigación fue identificar morfológicamente los trips asociados al cultivo de arándanos en los municipios de Xalisco y Tepic, Nayarit; además de evaluar insecticidas biorracionales para su manejo. Durante el año 2022, se capturaron trips con la técnica de derribo directamente en el cultivo. Los insecticidas se aplicaron con aspersores manuales de 5 litros, de 8 libras de presión y extensión con boquilla de cono lleno. Se realizaron cinco aplicaciones con intervalos de 15 días. En Xalisco se registraron ocho especies de trips, mientras que en Tepic sólo se registró a Scirtothrips dorsalis, misma que predominó en ambos predios. Se evaluaron individualmente productos formulados a base de extracto de canela, ajo, azadiractina, mostaza, un testigo regional Spintor® (Spinosad) y un testigo absoluto (agua). El extracto de canela fue el biorracional más efectivo con 73.5 % de control, mientras que el extracto de mostaza obtuvo un 32.44 % siendo el menos efectivo. Los resultados anteriores demuestran que la fauna de trips en el cultivo de arándano es diversa y se ve mayormente representada por S. dorsalis la cual es una especie plaga de este cultivo en otros estados productores, además, se encontraron productos biorracionales con potencial para ser incorporados en un programa de manejo integrado de trips. Estos resultados sientan las bases para tener más herramientas para el manejo de estas especies plaga en el cultivo de arándano.

DATA-PHYSICS DRIVEN REDUCED ORDER HOMOGENIZATION FOR CONTINUUM DAMAGE MECHANICS AT MULTIPLE SCALES
Authors: Yu Yang , Fish Jacob
Published: June 2023

The paper introduces a novel approach, referred to as data-physics driven reduced order homogenization, for continuum
damage mechanics. The proposed method combines the benefits of the physics-based reduced order homogenization and
data-driven surrogate modeling by striking a balance between accuracy, computational efficiency, and physical interpretability. The primary objective of this hybrid approach is to minimize computational cost associated with online
predictions at the macroscopic scale while preserving accuracy and physical interpretability. This is achieved by leveraging
a surrogate-based Bayesian inference to extract crucial information at a representative volume element (RVE) level. With the inferred data, online predictions are performed using a data-enhanced reduced order homogenization. Consequently, the computational time required at a macroscopic scale is significantly reduced compared to both the conventional direct numerical simulation and the computational homogenization approach.

Published: June 2023

Cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma (CDL) is a rare variant of uterine leiomyoma characterized by intramural dissection within the uterine corpus and a distinctive gross appearance resembling the cotyledons of the placenta. Despite their alarming, sarcomatous appearance both macroscopically and radiographically, these tumors are typically associated with bland histologic findings. Approximately 70 cases of CDL have been described in the literature. This case represents the second described case of CDL in pregnancy, the first in which a pregnancy was carried to term. A 28-year-old primigravid was incidentally found to have a massive, exophytic growth of the uterus on ultrasound with concomitant 14-week intrauterine pregnancy. The pregnancy was monitored with serial growth ultrasounds. She was delivered at 37 weeks via Cesarean section. After being lost to follow-up, the patient presented 2.5 years later with worsening abdominal fullness and persistent uterine mass.

Authors: Hellström Magnus M. , Jaccard Dominique , Bonnier Knut Erik
Published: June 2023

Project management education is well suited for active learning through serious games, and a lot of research has been published on the use of serious games for project management education. Earlier reviews have focused on the content and features of project management serious games. The objectives for using those serious games have been less reviewed. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review to better understand the objectives of using serious games in project management education, with the following research question: Why are project management serious games used in higher education? A systematic review was performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). A systematic search enabled us to identify 175 articles, of which forty-three met the eligibility criteria. An inductive content analysis of those articles showed that project management serious games are used mainly for pedagogical and practical reasons. From a pedagogical perspective, serious games are mainly used to develop specific skills that are difficult to acquire in classic ex cathedra lectures, such as practical competencies and soft skills. From a practical perspective, serious games are mainly used for proposing a risk-free trial environment. Based on our analysis, we propose a taxonomy of reasons for using PM games in higher education. Our study also reveals that few studies assess whether serious games meet all their objectives, and that more research is needed on how to implement them into a coherent pedagogical scenario.
Relationships of the Cyprideis torosa (Ostracoda, Crustacea) with Seasonal Occurrences, Carapace Type and Physicochemical Variables in Kocaçay Delta (Türkiye)
Authors: KÜLKÖYLÜOĞLU Okan , YAVUZATMACA Mehmet , AKAY Enis , DALKIRAN Nurhayat
Published: June 2023

To understand the spatial and temporal continuing occurrence patterns and relationships of Cyprideis torosa to several physicochemical variables, monthly samples from seven stations were collected from Kocaçay Delta (Bursa, Türkiye) between 2018 and 2019. Four (Cyprideis torosa, Koencypris ornata, Candona cf. lindneri, Candona meerfeldiana) of 14 ostracod taxa are new records for the ostracod fauna of Bursa province, where the total numbers of recent species increased to 33. Cyprideis torosa was the only dominant species found in almost all samples throughout the sampling. Based on the carapace type of the species, three groups can be divided as i) Type-1 (smooth carapaces), ii) Type-2 (noded carapaces), and iii) Type-3 (carapaces noded on one valve and smooth/rare on the other). Different occurrence patterns of the species with overlapping ecological ranges were observed among the stations. Except for station 1, all the types were encountered from other stations. Beginning from December 2018, nearly all populations had mostly Type-1 individuals until March. During April-May, individuals with Types-2 and 3 appeared to increase until October, while individuals in the Type-2 group were solely found from three stations (2, 3, and 5) in March and May 2018. There was a significant difference in salinity, magnesium, and calcium values among the stations (P<0.05) but only total nitrogen, temperature, and calcium showed a medium correlation to carapace type. In all cases, populations with noded individuals were found in narrower ecological ranges for those variables than other populations with smooth individuals.
A corpus-based genre analysis of letters of regularization: The case of land institutions in Ghana
Authors: Bonsu Emmanuel Mensah , Afful Joseph Benjamin Archibald , Hu Guangwei
Published: June 2023

Genre studies have tended to focus on academic contexts, with little attention to professional settings. Against this backdrop, this study set out to conduct a corpus-based genre analysis of letters of regularization written to land institutions in Ghana. The study adopted a textual analysis, informed by the ESP approach to genres, and supplemented it with a corpus-based analysis to examine 40 letters of regularization. The analyses revealed that the most frequent move in the letters of regularization was the ‘Purpose of the letter’. Although the ‘Reason for the application’ move was not obligatory, it took much textual space in the letters. As regards lexicogrammatical features, politeness was embedded and expressed in ‘if clauses’ to mitigate direct impositions on the reader. Additionally, gratitude was mainly construed as a quality and as a process in the letters. Based on these findings, the study offers implications for further research and practice.
