Electrocardiogram Visual Tutorials for Nurse Practitioner Students
Authors: Gloria M. Rose  , Jerrel V. Moore
Published: July 2023

Background: The ability to interpret electrocardiograms (ECG) is diagnostically important, both for medicaldoctors and for nurse practitioners in primary-care settings. The process of learning to read complex rhythm stripsand 12-lead ECGs can be very frustrating for students; teaching it can be challenging for some faculty members.Of the many available textbooks and online courses, most are excellent and all have something to offer. However,many nurse practitioners in primary care lack confidence in their ability to identify abnormalities in ECG stripscorrectly.Methods: A quasi-experimental, one group pretest-posttest research design was used to determine the effectivenessof the intervention. Overall, 637 student-nurse practitioners from one university participated in the study. A quizwas used to evaluate the participants’ ability to interpret electrocardiograms and their scores were collected aspretest data. The students took part in an intervention that consisted of video lessons and associated quizzes. Theirscores from a later quiz on electrocardiogram interpretation were collected as posttest data.Results: A paired samples t-test was conducted to assess the difference between pretest and posttest scores. Theresults revealed a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores, t(636) = 59.713, p = 0.000.The mean difference was 49.330, indicating that the students significantly increased their ability to interpretelectrocardiograms as a result of participating in the intervention.Conclusion: Online visual tutorials were an effective means of teaching student-nurse practitioners to interpretECGs.

Authors: Giler-Medina Patricio Xavier
Published: July 2023

La investigación relaciona la necesidad de la nivelación educativa con la finalidad de promover, de manera integral, reflexiva y progresiva, el pensamiento numérico en la asignatura Matemática. El objetivo fue identificar las estrategias de nivelación que influyen en el desarrollo adecuado del pensamiento numérico de estudiantes de Educación Secundaria de la Unidad Educativa Fiscomisional Juan Montalvo, del cantón Manta en Ecuador, anexa a la ULEAM, en el primer quimestre del período lectivo 2022 – 2023. Se evidenció como problemática que la carencia de procesos de nivelación educativa incide en el adecuado desarrollo del pensamiento numérico. Se fundamentó la investigación en un enfoque mixto y se utilizó los métodos inductivos, de observación científica y de revisión literaria, categorizando en cinco parámetros de evaluación: operaciones con números enteros y fraccionarios; secuencias y patrones con números enteros; escritura de enunciados en lenguaje matemático; y, proporcionalidad simple. La técnica aplicada fue una prueba diagnóstica de base semiestructurada en estudiantes de octavo grado de educación básica superior. Se muestran los resultados mediante análisis e interpretación estadística descriptiva, considerando como resultado principal que una parte considerable de la población estudiantil esta próxima a alcanzar las destrezas en el pensamiento numérico y es necesario establecer estrategias de nivelación, y se observó la necesidad de realizar una planificación docente que considere a la evaluación diagnóstica, la importancia de la temporalidad y espacialidad, los procesos de metacognición y el uso continuo de las TICs.

The availability of planning documentation is a necessary condition for the creation and reconstruction of botanical gardens expositions, the normal operation of the territory, including the repair of road surfaces, garden stairs, and accounting for botanical collections. However, in reality, many objects of landscape architecture do not have actual plans for various reasons, and the existing planning documentation does not reflect the situation with the relief, roads, structures and plant elements. Since 2022, in the Nikitsky Botanical Garden, the laboratory of landscape architecture and ethnobotanical research has begun systematic work on engineering and geodetic surveys, which makes it possible to develop the basis for design and working documentation in the local coordinate system. The work is carried out using the Topcon GM 52 total station, which allows you to obtain data on angles, distances, and excesses of certain geometric parameters. Based on the results of engineering and geodetic surveys, projects are being carried out and project proposals are being developed for the creation and reconstruction of expositions, the placement of retail outlets, and the strengthening of landslide slopes.

Published: July 2023

The ultra petitum partiumis a principle that doesn’t allow judge to make verdicts on unrequested or over-demanding cases. In divorcement cases, ithas limited the authority of the judge in giving verdicts to grant women's rights. The existence of a Supreme Court Circular Letter (SEMA) on number 3 of 2018 strengthened by PERMA on number 3 of 2017 concerning The Guidelines for Prosecuting Women Facing the Law opens a gap for judges to consider this principle. The type of this research is empirical legal research. The data obtained through field research and qualitative descriptive. The primary data sources in this study were collected through observations, and judges interview in the Metro Religious Courts. The secondary data sources are acquired from library (legislation and certain related books). The data analysis method conducted in 3 stages, 1. Collecting the data, 2.Restating the statement, and 3. Connecting the datawith existed theories. The results shows that the Metro Religious Court Judges still override the existence of a Supreme Court Circular (SEMA) number 3 of 2018 because it is only limited to the formulation of rooms that are not binding as legislations. It is may also be applied or ignored.

Published: July 2023

Diskursus tentang perkawinan beda agama masih saja menjadi topik yang selalu diperbincangkan oleh para pemikir Islam sampai saat ini seiring masih banyaknya umat Islam di Indonesia yang melaksanakannya. Tulisan ini akan mencoba meneliti tentang bagaimana status larangan nikah kepada non muslim dalam hal ini yang dimaksud adalah beda agama serta relevansinya dengan Fatwa MUI di Indonesia. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan sumber data pustaka (library reseaach). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa para ulama tafsir dan fuqaha sepakat tentang dilarangnya bagi laki-laki muslim menikahi wanita musyrik dan kafir dan begitu pula wanita muslimah dilarang dikawini oleh lelaki musyrik dan kafir. Untuk konteks Indonesia sendiri MUI telah mengeluarkan Fatwa tentang keharaman bagi umat Islam baik laki-laki dan perempuan untuk menikahi wanita dan laki-laki non-muslim baik mereka yang Ahli Kitab maupun tidak. Fatwa MUI No.4/Munas/VII/MUI/8/2005 tentang Perkawinan Beda Agama menyatakan setelah mempertimbangkan bahwa perkawinan beda agama sering menimbulkan keresahan di tengah masyarakat dan mengundang perdebatan diantara sesama umat Islam. Fatwa MUI ini masih sejalan dengan sumber hukum keluarga Islam di Indonesia UU No.1 Tahun 1974 Tentang Perkawinan dan Kompilasi Hukum Islam yang melarang perkawinan beda agama.

Published: July 2023

Все большую популярность у земледельцев Приаралья приобретает сегодня применение жидкого биологического удобрения, содержащее микроэлементы. Биологическое удобрение имеет нейтральную или слабощелочную реакцию, не загрязнено техногенными радионуклидами, невзрывоопасно. Низкая температура кристаллизации – 2°С и замерзания –26°С – позволяет транспортировать жидкое биологическое удобрение круглый год так же, как и хранить, особенно, в заглубленных в почву утепленных хранилищах из бетона и асфальта с внутренним покрытием из пленки. Сотрудниками института рисоводства были проведены исследования по эффективности жидких удобрений и изучено их влияние на повышение урожайности риса. Установлено, что применение жидких удобрений перед посевом и во время вегетации риса совместно с минеральными удобрениями значительно повышало урожайность культуры, которая варьировала  в пределах 3,9-5,7 т/га по вариантам. Урожайность риса сорта «Сыр Сулуы» повышалась при применении перед посевом и во время вегетации жидкими биоудобрениями на 0,2-0,3 т/га, а при совместном применении с минеральными урожайность повышалась на 1,9-2,0 т/га. В связи с этим, рекомендуем комплексно использовать биоудобрения (NaCle и Фитоп 8.67) с минеральными удобрениями. Также в статье приведены результаты исследования изучения эффективности биоудобрений Nacle и Фитоп 8.67‑8 на посевах риса в Приаралье. Существенных различий в эффективности Nacle и Фитоп 8.67 8 не отмечено. Для достижения максимальной эффективности применять Nacle и Фитоп 8.67‑8 необходимо в сочетании с внесением до посева азотного и фосфорного удобрения из расчета N90P60, т. к. при такой системе удобрения рисового агроценоза (N90P60 + Nacle 2 л/т семян + Nacle 2 л/га в кущение + 2 л/га в выметывание и N90P60 + Фитоп 8.67‑8 2 мл/т семян + Фитоп 8.67‑8 в кущение 1 л/га + Фитоп 8.67‑8 в выметывание 1 л/га) эффективность как биоудобрений, так и азотно-фосфорного удобрения значительно возрастает, обеспечивая увеличение урожайности риса на 1,9-2,0 т/га (51,4–54,1 %).

В мировой практике клональное микроразмножение земляники садовой применяется для быстрого и эффективного размножения отдельных форм и сортов из небольшого количества исходного материала, отбора in vitro на ранних стадиях развития. На стадии введения в культуру тканей растения земляники стерилизовались препаратами активный хлор в составе гипохлорита натрия в различных концентрациях и экспозиции.
Для развития регенерации и приобретение экологически чистой рассады земляники в питательную среду вводили в обмен регуляторов роста химической природы (цитокинины и ауксины) аминокислоту пролин в концентрации 10мг/л, аденозинтрифосфат (АТФ) -10мг\л, и витамин С-аскорбиновая кислота – 10мг\л. Установлено, что внесение аскорбиновой кислоты в концентрации 10 мг/л в состав питательной среды полностью исключает фенольное окисление апексов на этапе введения в культуру тканей и регенерации. Внесение аминокислоты пролин и АТФ в состав питательной среды увеличило регенерацию на 10-15% по трем сортам земляники.
На этапе укоренения большое количество корней образовывалось на сорте Мальвина. У сортов Сабрина и Ред Гонтлит эти данные были несколько ниже. По высоте растений выделялся сорт Мальвина 10 шт. Наименьшей высотой растений характеризовались сорта Сабрина и Ред Гонтлит 5 и 7 шт. соответственно.
Укорененные микрорастения земляники пересаживались в условия ex vitro для их адаптации.

Published: July 2023

The hunting fauna is an important component of the biological diversity of the southern regions of Kazakhstan. Being a part of natural resources, hunting animals are, on the one hand, an object of hunting and have recreational and economic value, and on the other hand, they are fully exposed to a complex of anthropogenic factors, of which agricultural production is especially relevant for the steppe zone. Today, the problem of preserving and objectively assessing the natural resource potential of individual regions of Kazakhstan is becoming especially relevant. In this regard, it is necessary to foresee all the environmental and economic costs associated with turnover of agricultural land and to identify contradictions associated with usage of hunting resources on agricultural land. Hunting resources, as part of the natural resource potential of the developed regions, are an objective indicator of the systemic ecological crisis of the steppe zone. In Kazakhstan, the steppe zone is an agrarian region, where the problems of biodiversity conservation, socio-economic and environmental optimization of land use and management of hunting use are especially acute. The purpose of this research work is to analyze regional hunting and resource potential, develop principles for optimizing the management of hunting activities in the southern region of Kazakhstan.
The article presents the results of the hunting activities analysis of Kyzylorda and Turkestan regions, which are part of South Kazakhstan. The data on fixed hunting grounds, the relative number of predatory mammals as potential hunting objects - wolves, foxes, corsacs, jackals, badgers and mustelids as hunting objects are given.

Published: July 2023

Fuel consumption is most widely used in ship propulsion system, therefore, in ship propulsion system must be considered and designed as efficiently as possible. Propeller is one of the mechanical components on a ship, which can run ships from one place to another. The most important thing in a propeller is the mechanical properties or strength of the propeller in accepting the load to be able to run the ship. Another factor that affects mechanical propeller properties is the propeller design itself. In propeller design, one thing that can be considered is the rake angle of propeller. The rake angle is the slope angle between the propeller blade and the propeller center. The rake angle on the propeller is used to increase the amount of mass water used to produce thrust that needed by ship. Reducing the rake angle can increase the efficiency of the B-Series propeller slightly. Previous research has analyzed the effect of variations in rake angle to determine the relationship between thrust and fluid flow in the B-series propeller, but for the cavitation that occurs in the propeller has not been analyzed. In this research, variations ware made from the B-Series propeller rake angle to obtain propeller thrust and cavitation values. The analysis carried out in this study is to use the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) method and the results obtained from the simulation with greatest thrust and efficiency, that is in the 5º rake angle variations of 2310,273 KN and 70% efficiency, while the smallest thrust value is variation of rake angle 25º for 1110,933 KN. Then for the largest cavitation level in the variation of the 25º rake angle and the smallest at the 15º original rake angle.

Published: July 2023

El bienestar de vida de las familias que residen en zonas petroleras puede verse afectada a raí­z de las condiciones laborales que se les brinda a los trabajadores que prestan sus servicios en las empresas petroleras. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar las condiciones laborales de los trabajadores del sector petrolero de Sucumbí­os y su incidencia en el bienestar de vida de sus familias; en el periodo 2020-2022. La metodologí­a utilizada es de carácter no experimental propositiva exploratoria, con enfoque mixto, además se hizo uso de análisis estadí­stico; cuya recolección de datos se realizó a través de encuestas y entrevistas aplicadas a 140 personas aleatoriamente. Los resultados muestran que hoy dí­a las condiciones laborales a las que son expuestos los trabajadores y colateralmente sus familias afectan directamente en su salud fí­sica, emocional y mental, así­ como en su situación económica, con salarios que no cubren gastos de alimentación. Además, existe un clima y cultura reactiva, horarios y jornadas extenuantes y la precarización social y laboral como medio de esclavitud; siendo estos factores los que dan surgimiento a la problemática social. Concluyéndose que las empresas buscan mayor rentabilidad de la inversión y el medio para lograrlo es la subcontratación, misma que les permite flexibilizar horarios, salarios y funciones laborales y esto con la aprobación del ejecutivo; mientras el legislativo se hace ciego y oí­do sordo y el poder judicial está siempre a favor del poder económico, el panorama se convierte en desalentador e incierto para el trabajador. Por lo tanto, las condiciones laborales de los trabajadores del sector petrolero influyen fuertemente en el bienestar de las familias que habitan en Sucumbí­os, Ecuador.
BASE MILITAR ESTADOUNIDENSE DE MANTA Y LA INFLUENCIA DE SU INSTALACIÓN Y RETIRO EN LA PERCEPCIÓN DE LOS HABITANTES ECUATORIANOS
Authors: Borja Torresano Sonia Cecilia
Published: July 2023

Este artí­culo analiza desde la teorí­a de las relaciones internacionales, la polí­tica exterior de instalación y retiro de la base militar estadounidense de Manta y su influencia en la percepción pública de Ecuador. Inicia explicando la soberaní­a de estado como elemento clave de relaciones internacionales asociada a la instalación y retiro de la mencionada base; y luego describe la opinión pública derivada de la firma del convenio de cooperación entre Ecuador y Estados Unidos sobre instalación y retiro de la base militar Manta. Se trata de una investigación básica con enfoque cualitativo, basada en la revisión de documentos bibliográficos y en datos suministrados por medios de comunicación. Para obtener información sobre la opinión pública se realizó una entrevista no estructurada aplicada a expertos en relaciones internacionales, polí­tica y economí­a, así­ como, a profesionales de la comunicación social. Los resultados muestran que la motivación de Estados Unidos por instalar bases militares en paí­ses suramericanos era, inicialmente, la seguridad mundial, el apoyo bilateral, la lucha contra el terrorismo, y el control del narcotráfico, sin embargo, la opinión pública generalizada apunta hacia el hecho de que el establecimiento de bases militares está relacionado con otros intereses egoí­stas como el acceso a recursos naturales; además de que, según su percepción, provoca violación de derechos humanos y pérdida de soberaní­a.
The Luminosity–Area Relation of z > 2 Quasars’ Lyα Nebulae
Authors: Arrigoni Battaia Fabrizio , Obreja Aura , Costa Tiago , Farina Emanuele P. , Cai Zheng
Published: July 2023

Cool (T ∼ 104 K) gas is commonly observed around z > 2 quasars as traced by extended Lyα emission. These large-scale nebulae are usually studied using circularly averaged surface-brightness profiles, which suppress information on morphological differences. Here, we revisit the Lyα nebulae around 78 z ∼ 2–3 quasars to obtain a novel estimate of their area and asymmetry using a common redshift-corrected surface-brightness threshold. We find a luminosity–area relation of the form

. Most nebulae are symmetric and bright, the most lopsided ones being the faintest and less extended. The enormous Lyα nebulae, asymmetric due to the presence of active companions, are the exceptions to this trend. By using simulations able to reproduce z ∼ 6 quasars’ nebulae, we show that the observed relation should not vary with redshift. Finally, we discuss possible mechanisms that drive the relation and future work needed to constrain them.

Published: July 2023

Besides humans, the common bed bug Cimex lectularius uses bats as hosts, but no such records were available from the Southern Caucasus. Here, we record the greater horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum) and the lesser mouse-eared bat (Myotis blythii) as hosts of C. lectularius from two Georgian and one Armenian sites. A summary of all known published records of bat-associated populations of C. lectularius shows they are both scattered and restricted to the Palearctic only. Observations of C. lectularius from bat colonies in Georgia and Armenia were made in old buildings or ruins, like churches or monasteries, but not in caves, despite a specific search. This supports previous studies suggesting that 1) bat-associations of common bed bugs are very rare outside Central Europe and 2) almost never occur in caves. We discuss climatic conditions and host preferences as possible factors for these findings and the implications for the origin of the human bed bug interaction.
Abortion Bans and Cruelty
Authors: Kamm F. M.
Published: July 2023

Abortion bans have been characterized as cruel especially in not allowing exceptions for rape or incest. The article first examines one approach to morally justifying bans based on the Doctrine of Double Effect (DDE) which distinguishes morally between killing or letting die intending death versus doing so only foreseeing death. It then presents some criticisms of the implications of the DDE but also argues that what the doctrine permits helps provide a ground for the permissibility of abortions even if the fetus is a person. Whether there are limits on applying this argument is also considered. In conclusion, the article considers whether and why not permitting exceptions to bans for rape and incest is cruel and whether cruelty is a ground for opposition to bans.

Authors: Cho Hyesun , Wang Jiahong Annie , Mikal Erlinda , Liu Chang
Published: July 2023

Despite the increasing number of international students in colleges and universities in the United States, there is a scarcity of research that informs higher education instructors on how to create a space for these students to share their challenges. This chapter illustrates how critical autoethnography serves as an empowering academic discourse for international students in higher education. Drawing from linguicism and transnational habitus, it elucidates how graduate students internalize and resist linguicism while also exercising teacher agency by using transnational habitus in language classrooms. By sharing their stories in relation to power imbalance in social interactions, this chapter illustrates ways in which university teachers can promote culturally and linguistically sustaining written discourse practices for international students, using a critical autoethnography.

Published: July 2023

Objectives: Spermatogenesis, in which cell regeneration continues, can be affected by environmental, chemical, psychological factors or various diseases. There is conflicting information in the literature about the effect of isotretinoin, which is widely used in acne treatment, on testes and spermatogenesis. Therefore, we planned a rat study to evaluate the long-term efficacy of oral isotretinoin on testicular tissues and spermatogenesis. Materials and methods: The Group 1 (n = 6) 7.5 mg/kg/day and the Group 2 (n = 6) received isotretinoin at a dose of 30 mg/kg/day dissolved in sunflower oil, the Sham Group (n = 6) received only sunflower oil by gavage, and the control group (n = 6) received standard feed and water for four weeks. After the 4th week, all animals were fed with standard feed and water and followed for the next four weeks. At the end of the 8th week, all animals were sacrificed under deep anesthesia. Seminiferous tubule diameters, epithelial thickness, apoptotic index, sperm number and motility recorded. Results: Sperm count, motility, vitality, diameter of seminiferous tubule and germinal epithelium thickness were decreased and apoptotic index increased in the groups received isotretinoin. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of testosterone levels. Conclusions: We consider that further comprehensive studies, including human clinical trials, should be conducted to examine the negative effects of isotretinoin on spermatogenesis in the long term especially when there is a need using isotretinoin in men for various reasons and to eliminate the contradictions in the literature in this regard.
The clinical significance of SNAIL, TWIST, and E-Cadherin expression in gastric mesentery tumor deposits of advanced gastric cancer
Authors: Wu Haiyan , Chen Yanping , Lin Huimei , Xu Yanchang , Guo Zipei , Li Zhixiong
Published: July 2023

Objective:

To explore the relationships among the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related factors (SNAIL, TWIST, and E-Cadherin) and clinicopathological parameters and gastric mesangial tumor deposits (TDs) in advanced gastric cancer (AGC) patients and their value in gastric cancer prognosis judgment.

Materials and Methods:

The data of 190 patients who underwent radical resection of ACG were analyzed retrospectively, including 75 cases of TDs (+) and 115 cases of TDs (-). The expression of EMT-related transforming factors Snail, Twist, and E-cadherin in the primary tumor, paracancerous normal tissues, and TDs was detected by immunohistochemistry.

Results:

SNAIL and TWIST were overexpressed in primary tumors and TDs, whereas E-Cadherin was down-expressed in primary tumors. SNAIL was correlated significantly with tumor differentiation, lymph node metastases, and TDs (P < 0.05); TWIST was correlated strongly with tumor location, lymph node metastases, and TDs (P < 0.05); E-Cadherin was correlated closely with tumor differentiation and lymph node metastases (P < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier curves showed that SNAIL expression was correlated with DFS (P < 0.05), and TWIST expression was correlated with OS (P < 0.05). Tumor differentiation, lymph node metastasis, and TWIST expression were prognostic-independent risk factors of AGC patients (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

The occurrence and development of gastric cancer and the formation of TDs may be related to EMT, analyzing the expression of EMT-related transforming proteins may be helpful to judge the prognosis of gastric cancer.
The effect of curcuma longa extract and significance of mordant as an alternative for eosin in H and E: A comparative study
Authors: Rubina M. P , Sukesh  , Soumya V. , Mohammed Safeer T. K , Riyas Basheer K. B.
Published: July 2023

Background and Aim:

Hematoxylin and Eosin (H and E) staining is a common and routine staining method used in Histopathology. In origin, Hematoxylin is natural and Eosin is a synthetic dye. Synthetic dyes are widely accepted due to its staining efficiency. However, due to synthetic and toxic properties, natural alternatives have gained importance. In this present study, Curcuma Longa rhizome (Turmeric) extract with and without mordant are examined as a natural substitute for Eosin in H and E staining. This study assessed the staining quality of Turmeric (H and T) compared to Eosin (H and E) and the significance of mordant in H and T staining.

Materials and Methods:

A comparative study is conducted in a Histopathology laboratory in a tertiary care hospital. Five tissue specimens were collected and stained with H and T with mordant, H and T without mordant, and conventional H and E stain. Two independent pathologists examined the quality of each stain. The results are graded as excellent, good, and poor. These results are statistically compared and analyzed.

Result:

Staining quality of Turmeric and Eosin are comparable to each other. At the same time, Turmeric gives yellow color instead of pink in Eosin. The result also shows that the addition of mordant in Turmeric significantly improves the staining quality.

Interpretation and Conclusion:

Turmeric with mordant can be used as an alternative stain to synthetic Eosin in H and E staining.

Authors: Farooq Humaira , Sabesan Gokul Shankar , Monowar Tahmina , Chinni Suresh V. , Zainol Noor H.
Published: July 2023

Kodamaea ohmeri is a rare opportunistic pathogen belonging to Saccharomycetes family. This yeast was also formerly known as Yamadazyma ohmeri or Pichia ohmeri. This opportunistic pathogen causes illness that typically affects people with impaired immune system. In this report, we discuss a fatal case involving a woman in her late 30s who was admitted to the hospital on the sixth day of her sickness after being given a COVID-19 Category 5A diagnosis. For COVID-19, she received subcutaneous heparin, cefuroxime, and intravenous corticosteroids. She was diagnosed with secondary bacterial and fungal infections in the ICU. Multiple antibiotics and antifungal were given to treat bacterial and fungal infections. An unusual fungus, Kodamaea ohmeri, was isolated from the clinical sample. On day 36, she succumbed to her infection in the ICU. The cause of death was multidrug-resistant sepsis with multiple organ failures due to COVID-19 infection, worsened by an embolism and trachea damage during a tracheostomy. To effectively manage K. ohmeri, clinicians and microbiologists must identify and be aware of this emerging human opportunistic pathogen, which can co-infect debilitated patients such as COVID-19 patients, for effective management.
