Patient satisfaction measurements are necessary to evaluate the quality of care given to patients within a healthcare facility. Healthcare facilities in Africa are faced with numerous challenges such as lack of human and financial resources which can lead to inadequate provision of healthcare to patients. This study aims to assess the level of patient satisfaction with hospital pharmaceutical services in the two tertiary health facilities in Rivers State. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the various pharmacy units at the health facilities between September and December 2020. Qualitative data was collected using structured self-administered questionnaires. A total of 200 patients from each of the two tertiary health facilities participated in the study. The study showed that majority of the participants( 34 and 64%) at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH) were either very satisfied or satisfied with pharmaceutical services while 36.5 and 43.5% showed varied level of satisfaction with care by pharmacists. At the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH), those that reported satisfaction were 37 and 57.5% for the very satisfied and satisfied respectively for pharmaceutical services while it was 38 and 36% respectively for the very satisfied and satisfied with pharmaceutical care rendered by the pharmacists at the facility. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the satisfaction profile at the two facilities (p<0.05). This study concludes that majority of patients assessing the two tertiary health facilities were either very satisfied or satisfied with the pharmaceutical services and care rendered by Pharmacists. The study recommends that similar studies be conducted to assess patient satisfaction at secondary and primary health care facilities.

Authors: Zohdi Aghdam Mehdi
Published: May 2024

In order to investigate the effect of irrigation, potassium and low-use elements on the growth indicators of fodder corn 704, a study in 2022 in the form of split-split plots in the form of a basic randomized complete block design in three replications at the city of urmia was implemented. Irrigation treatment as the main factor in two levels (full irrigation and interruption of irrigation), potassium consumption as a secondary factor in two levels (no consumption and consumption of 200 kg/ha of potassium) and low-consumption elements as a secondary factor in three levels. (non-use, soil use and foliar spraying were low-use elements). Plant height, fresh fodder yield, stem and leaf dry weight, biological yield, flag leaf area, ear length and diameter, proline and leaf relative water content were studied. According to the results, the main effects of irrigation interruption were significant in reducing plant height, flag leaf area, ear length, fresh fodder yield, stem and leaf dry weight, and increasing proline. Potassium consumption had a significant effect in increasing plant height, biological yield, ear length and diameter, proline, and also reducing stem dry weight. The three-way interaction effect of irrigation interruption, potassium consumption and soil consumption of low consumption elements significantly increased leaf dry weight by 20% and proline by 0.34%. But in the condition of stopping irrigation and using potassium, the non-use of low-use elements increased the relative water content of the cell by 8% compared to the foliar application of low-use elements. Therefore, in the conditions of drought stress, the use of potassium together with low-use elements has improved the mentioned traits, under such conditions, the use of these elements is recommended for the cultivation of fodder corn in the region.

Purpose: to determine the share influence of agrophysical, technological, climatic factors and soil moisture on spring wheat grain yield in the arid conditions of the Saratov Trans-Volga region based on a complete correlation analysis of long-term field data. Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, an experiment with basic tillage with various implements according to the following scheme, was carried out: A₀ – with PLN-8-35 plow at 23–25 cm (control); A₁ – with plow PBS-10P at 23–25 cm; A₂ – with deep ripper SSD-4 (2017–2020), chisel plow PChM-4 (2021–2022) at 30–32 cm; A₃ – with a disk header BDM 7×3 PPKShKS at 10–12 cm. The research was carried out over a period of six years using generally accepted methods. Results. A complete correlation analysis of long-term data showed that the most significant influence on the spring wheat yield in the Trans-Volga region is exerted by precipitation during the growing season (24.1 %) and the hydrothermal coefficient (23.6 %). Air temperature determined this indicator by only 12.5 %. The share influence on the yield of soil density in the 10–30 cm layer was 2.9 %. The moisture content of the upper half-meter soil layer during the spring wheat tillering phase determined the yield by 14.8 %, and the lower one (50–100 cm) by 15.6 %. Conclusions. On average, over six years, the maximum yield of spring wheat Albidum 32 variety was obtained in variants with plowing (PBS-10P and PLN-8-35): 1.16 and 1.17 t/ha. Non-mouldboard cultivation with a deep ripper and chisel plow reduced this indicator by 8.5 %. Treatment of dark chestnut soil with a disk header reduced the spring wheat grain yield by 24.8 % relative to the control.

Purpose: the review of the current state of legal aspects and features of the reclaimed land (RL) registering. Discussion. Information on the availability, areas and RL use is currently provided to various departments. The number of bodies exceeds a dozen. Different interpretations of the requirements for input data and technical errors during input lead to inconsistencies in the data of various departments. A significant number of changes and innovations in regulatory and legal documentation indicate the imperfection of the RL registration process and constant attempts to improve it. Vast areas of reclamation systems and their division in forms of ownership complicate the registration of the available RL. The confidentiality of information obtained during the RL registration does not allow for a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of the reclamation systems functioning, even within the same department. As a result, it is impossible to create an objective picture of the reclamation system functioning and the reclamation complex as a whole. The solution to the problem of data inconsistency, including when taking into account RL, as well as quick and accurate determination of the RL location and GTS, is seen in the creation of a geographic information system (GIS) within a single digital portal. Certain elements of GIS technologies have already applied today, but the main advantage of the system being developed should be the integration of information from different sources to create a reference source of information. The development of such a system has been ongoing since 2008; currently it is a Unified Federal Information System on Agricultural Lands (UFIS AL). Conclusions. A review of the current state of legal aspects and features of the RL registering allowed coming to the conclusion that filling the UFIS AL with accurate and reliable information will allow using it for creating services to solve various problems, including the development of digital services, for example, facilitating the treaty-making process for the provision of water supply and (or) drainage services.
Environmental surveillance of the rice massif in the Kuban-Protoka river region ​
Authors: USTINOVA VICTORIA VLADIMIROVNA , TIMOSHKIN ALEXEY DMITRIEVICH
Published: May 2024

The article presents the results of environmental monitoring of the rice massif between the Kuban-Protoka rivers. The analysis of the dynamics of the yield of rice crops grown in the zone of risky agriculture, namely in the territory subject to secondary salinization, is carried out. Based on the results of chemical analyses of water and soil, methods of increasing fertility on degraded lands are proposed. In the summer and autumn of 2023, field visits were made to the territory of the Petrovsko-Anastasievskaya, Chernoerkovskaya, Azov and Temryuk irrigation systems in order to visually inspect them and take samples of water and soil for subsequent laboratory chemical analysis. Field visits were carried out during the beginning of the growing season and during the formation of the final drainage and discharge runoff, in order to track the dynamics of changes in the quality indicators of irrigation, waste water and soil. As a result of the conducted research, it was found that the quality of irrigation waters in the studied irrigation systems does not comply with irrigation standards. Chemical analysis of the soil from rice checks showed an excess of maximum permissible concentration (MPC) values of Cl-, SO42-, Na+ и NH4+ ions in the studied irrigation systems. Such results are facilitated by the spread of secondary salinization, since the Kuban River Delta is a modern accumulation of salts from the entire river basin. Soil salinization has a negative impact on agricultural production. Thus, with the help of timely monitoring of saline lands, it is possible to prevent degradation processes using effective melioration and reclamation methods.

This article analyzes research on national debt, which is one of the major economic problems not only in Ukraine but also in the world economy as a whole. The national debt is defined as the total government debt, which is the total amount of borrowed and unpaid debts incurred as a result of government borrowing. It is noted that the increase in the national debt is the result of various factors that force the state to finance itself, especially through government credit. The structure of national debt is analyzed in detail and concepts such as domestic and external debt are explained. A comparative overview of these components in developed and developing countries is provided and the predominance of external debt in Ukraine is emphasized. Official data on the volume and dynamics of the national debt of Ukraine are presented, noting that this indicator has increased significantly over time, with a particularly sharp increase in 2023. A comparative analysis of the national debt of Ukraine with other countries is presented and it is shown that it is moderate in comparison with economically developed countries. It is noted that the increase in national debt in most countries can be caused by various factors, ranging from coronavirus pandemics to political conflicts and other domestic issues. The concept of sovereign credit and its impact on the formation of national debt is examined. The relationship between national debt and budget deficits is examined. The view is expressed that the national debt can be positive or negative depending on the economic direction and policies of the state. It is emphasized that research on national debt is important for understanding the impact of national debt on the economic development of a country.

In the conditions of a full-scale war, one of the key issues is conducting effective foreign economic activity, namely, meeting the needs of society and the army during the war. With the beginning of military aggression, when the question arose of quickly supplying the army with military equipment, food, and tools, the main shortcomings of the country's current foreign economic policy became apparent. The most famous cases are the processes of customs clearance and import of military goods from abroad.
The work highlights two main groups of problems that our state faced when conducting foreign economic activities during the war: problems of foreign exchange accounting and problems of minimizing foreign exchange risks.
The main problems of foreign economic activity accounting include: organization of accounting in this area, taxation of operations of foreign economic activity; accounting problems in accordance with National Standards. Such problems can cause incorrect documentation of cargo, errors in taxation, etc. The consequences of such mistakes can be administrative penalties in the form of fines, the imposition of sanctions, which may cause financial losses and reduce the image of the enterprise.
The main new risks that appeared with the beginning of a full-scale war are: risks of non-fulfillment of contracts, logistical risks, risks of non-fulfillment of delivery dates, risks of non-fulfillment of contract payments. As a result, costs arise from non-compliance with the terms of the contract and financial sanctions are imposed, provided for by the terms of this contract.
Each of these groups requires detailed study to avoid negative results as a result of conducting ED. The work highlights and explains the essence of import-export operations. The main group of problems that have a significant impact on the organization of accounting for foreign economic activity in Ukraine has been identified. An analysis of purchases and sales was carried out, based on which the influence of certain problems on the results of the country's foreign economic activity was reflected.

The procedure for electronic VAT administration and the method of registration of tax invoices / adjustment calculations in the Unified register of tax invoices were considered; problematic aspects of budgetary VAT reimbursement at the enterprise were analyzed, in particular, a study of the essence and implementation mechanism of budgetary VAT reimbursement was conducted, the conditions of its application at the enterprise were determined. The criteria, the achievement of which is the basis for automatic budgetary reimbursement of VAT to a business entity, have been summarized, and the deadlines for budgetary VAT reimbursement have been systematized. The most common schemes of illegal VAT reimbursement on the territory of Ukraine, as well as during export-import transactions, were analyzed; a list of signs that may indicate the use of an illegal tax refund mechanism has been established.
It was determined that the mechanism of budgetary VAT reimbursement currently in effect is legally formed. At the same time, despite the high level of regulatory support, the current system of control in the field of VAT administration needs to be reviewed in order to prevent its illegal reimbursement. In the case of making a decision on cooperation with a new counterparty, we recommend that the enterprise first of all conduct a retrospective analysis of its activity, as well as evaluate the signs of its solvency and business activity.

On the applicability of multi-surface, two-surface and non-linear kinematic hardening models in multiaxial fatigue
Authors: Meggiolaro M.A , Castro J.T.P. , Wu H.
Published: May 2024

In this work, a comparison between NLK and Mróz-Garud’s multi-surface formulations is presented. A unified common notation is introduced to describe the involved equations, showing that the Mróz-Garud model can be regarded as a particular case of the NLK formulation. It is also shown that the classic two-surface model, which is an unconventional simplified plasticity model based on the translation of only two surfaces, can also be represented using this formulation. Such common notation allows a direct quantitative comparison among multi-surface, two-surface, and NLK hardening models.

Two hundred students completed a socio-demographic questionnaire along with validated questionnaires: the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) for IA assessment and the Eating Attitude Test-26 (EAT-26) for measuring eating attitudes and behaviors.
Results: No significant difference was found in IA levels between the two groups. However, non-medical students (46.5%, n=93) were significantly more at risk of DEA compared to medical students (45.5%, n=91) (p-value=0.043). A significant positive correlation was observed between IA and DEA (r = 0.599, p-value < 0.001).
Conclusion: The study highlights a positive correlation between IA and disordered eating attitudes. Non-medical students are particularly at risk of developing such attitudes. Future research should delve into the factors contributing to both IA and DEA.
Bacteriophage display selections of ovarian cancer avid peptides

Published: May 2024

Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths in women and is the most fatal of gynecological cancers. The high fatality of the disease is a direct result of inadequate diagnostic methods, and it is therefore necessary to develop new techniques to detect ovarian cancer. This dissertation describes the discovery and development of one new peptide (J18) and two phage particles (pM6 and pM9) that bind to ovarian cancer cells and that were successfully used to image and locate human ovarian tumors in mice. As a result, these novel detection methods may be utilized to detect and diagnose ovarian cancer in patients, and may lead to an overall improvement in survival rates.
Boron neutron capture therapy at the University of Missouri using select purpose-built compounds

Published: May 2024

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) of multiple cancer lines is demonstrated in mice using unilamellar liposomes as a boron delivery vehicle. BNCT is a form of cancer treatment which provides specific killing of cancer cells by the selective distribution of boron in the patient followed by irradiation with thermal neutrons. The liposomes used in the study contain purpose-built boron compounds characterized at the University of Missouri. The research herein includes studies evaluating the biodistribution and treatment efficacy of various boron compound formulations, as well as neutron dosimetry in canine models. The boron is best delivered as two separate 200 ?L injections into the lateral tail vein, 24 hours apart. Using this injection scheme, followed by a 45 minute irradiation, growth to tumor size 500 mm3 is delayed 2.67 times (20 days) in treated mice bearing EMT6 tumors, and 5.86 times (34 days) in treated mice bearing CT26 tumors when compared with untreated controls. These results are not significantly different when the dose is delivered in two separate fractions. Additionally, these results were obtained with minimal identifiable side effects to the mice. These works also demonstrate therapeutic BNCT in tumor-bearing mice using a newly synthesized boron nanoparticle developed using natural-abundance boron starting materials. The data presented in the neutron osimetry studies demonstrate that clinical BNCT of canine patients using the existing thermal neutron beam at MURR is feasible with appropriate case selection. This data can be used in future studies to verify computer modeling using BNCT planning software.--From public.pdf
Peripheral nervous system alterations in disease and injury
Authors:   , Villalon Landeros Eric
Published: May 2024

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is the most common inherited neuropathy of the PNS affecting approximately 2.8 million people. CMT type 2E, an axonal form of CMT, has been linked to mutations in the neurofilament light gene (nefl) and leads to distal neuropathy characterized by reduced nerve conduction velocity, muscle atrophy and sensory loss. However, the mechanisms of disease pathogenesis are not well understood. My work characterizes a CMT2E mouse model and reveals new insights into disease pathogenesis. Moreover, patients suffering with CMT are susceptible to develop exacerbation of neuropathy following a traumatic event. My work also provides insights into exacerbation of neuropathy in our CMT mouse model. Lastly, following remyelination of peripheral nerves after injury, internode lengths are significantly reduced. My work provides the first molecular basis for the reduction in internode length after remyelination and identifies a potential target for therapeutic intervention aimed at enhancing recovery from demyelinating diseases or nerve injuries.
Fabrication and characterization of a plasmonic grating platform for enhanced fluorescence biosensor applications
Authors:   , Wood Aaron Jene
Published: May 2024

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) research has grown substantially over the past several years and led to many substantial discoveries in nanotechnology. SPR is a phenomenon where light can be coupled to the interface between a metal, such as gold or silver, and a dielectric material, such as air or glass, to form an oscillation in the electrons at the interface. While only a few hundred nanometers in size, the electromagnetic field formed by this oscillation can interact with nearby molecules, such as fluorophores. Fluorophores are a specific class of molecules that absorb specific wavelengths or colors of light and emit a longer wavelength color back. If a fluorophore interacts with SPR, the resulting emission of light will be much brighter than normal. One research field, in particular, fluorescence biosensors, could greatly benefit by incorporating SPR as it can increase the sensitivity several orders of magnitude. In this research project, the ridge-groove structures also known as gratings found in HDDVDs and Bluray discs were transferred to microscope slides or silicon wafers and coated in silver to convert them into plasmonic gratings or gratings that can generate SPR if illuminated with light at a specific angle. The plasmonic gratings were found to increase the fluorescence emission intensity by 100-200 times their normal intensity. The plasmonic gratings were then incorporated into a biosensor for the detection of cortisol, an important stress hormone, and found that the plasmonic gratings increased the sensitivity of the biosensor such that normal cortisol levels in saliva could now be detected. The plasmonic grating was also incorporated into a biosensor for the detection of single strand DNA with similar sensitivity enhancements. These plasmonic gratings represent a simple yet effective means of greatly enhancing the fluorescent emission, and ultimately sensitivity, of any fluorescence microscope or biosensor system in which it is incorporated.
Femoral angles and their correlates
Authors:   , Child Stephanie L.
Published: May 2024

This research addresses a central theme in anthropological research focused on the reconstruction of activity patterns from skeletal remains in past populations. In general, my research focuses on the ontogeny and development of the angulation of the hip and knee, and specifically how variation in angulation relates to variation in body form, mobility patterns, postural behaviors, and gait-related disorders. The primary data for this study are femoral angels and cross-sectional geometric properties. Results indicate that regardless of variation in body form, individuals with similar levels of mobility have similar angulation of the femur; and the torque (or twist) of the femur is indicative of postural behaviors among populations. Together, these angles significantly influence the load distribution along the long axis of the bone, affecting our interpretations of mobility patterns among past populations. Certain gait-related disorders may leave osteological signatures in the angulation of the femur, which we can use to detect impaired or reduced mobility in past populations.
Micromosaics : souvenirs, collective memory, and the reception of antiquity on the Grand Tour
Authors:   , Disalvo Lauren Kellogg
Published: May 2024

Micromosaics were popular souvenir objects on the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Grand Tour, a didactic trip taken by elite, young men. Created from tiny, intricately arranged tesserae, micromosaics typically depict classically-derived scenes, famous Roman monuments, daily life scenes, or Renaissance and Baroque paintings and were intended to appeal to Grand Tour travelers. My dissertation seeks to analyze ancient monuments, mosaics, paintings, and sculptures on early modern European micromosaics in order to demonstrate how much these objects enhance our understanding of Grand Tourists' experiences. I examine how micromosaicists memorialized, erased, altered, and added components to these antiquities depicted on micromosaics with the intention to make them marketable to tourists. By examining micromosaics as souvenirs I have been able to suggest a methodology for looking at souvenirs during the Grand Tour that contributes to our understanding of both tourists' desires and their actual experiences understanding antiquity in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Methods to improve growth efficiency in beef cattle
Authors:   , Minton Nicholas Oliver
Published: May 2024

Genetics, nutrition and animal management each have integral roles in maximizing growth efficiency of domestic livestock. Residual feed intake (RFI) is an accurate method of distinguishing between feed efficient and inefficient animals. Because RFI is independent of growth and BW it can be selected upon without influencing mature size of the animal. Yet some of the physiological mechanisms which contribute to variation in RFI are unaccounted for. However, debate remains on the amount of variation accounted for among known variables. Adequate supply of rumen undegradeable protein (RUP) within the diet for growing cattle is essential in meeting limiting amino acid (AA) requirements that cannot be fulfilled by microbial protein. Supplementing feedstuffs with greater RUP tend to be the most expensive ingredient within a diet. Alternative methods that increase RUP at a lesser expense are beneficial in reducing production costs while maintaining animal efficiency. Several sorting strategies exist within the feedlot to sort cattle into uniform feeding groups with the intent of avoiding carcass discounts for over or under fattened carcasses along with too heavy or too light of carcasses. Sorting cattle on actual growth potential may not only maintain uniformity in feeding groups but also improve growth efficiency. Grouping cattle by actual growth potential would allow for greater precision in diet formulation. The initial study consisted of two experiments which examined fermentation characteristics and nutrient digestion between beef cattle of contrasting feed efficiencies in mixed rumen cultures.
