Teachers play a significant role in teaching-learning process. Teaching and learning a second or foreign language specifically English, is a tough row to hoe. Teachers use a variety of media for teaching English and one of them is an innovative Microsoft PowerPoint format known as Pecha Kucha Style. This mode of teaching and learning is used at a global level for its simplicity, effectiveness and creativity. The main aim of this study was to investigate learners’ perceptions about the effectiveness of the innovative Kecha Pucha style for teaching and learning English in ESL classrooms. The subjects involved were 360 students learning at Tertiary level in a renowned Southern Punjab University of Pakistan. The data was collected through mixed questionnaire comprising of both close and open-ended questions. The results of the study revealed that this innovative Pecha Kucha approach was engaging, enjoyable and time saving but learners did not find it effective and productive at all for teaching and learning English in ESL classrooms because it does not provide instructors with sufficient time to teach everything appropriately to learners. Moreover, they were of the view that it would not be followed for teaching and learning any course material. Keywords: ESL Classrooms; Pakistani; Pecha Kucha; Teachers; Teaching and Learning English

Background: Past research evidence has shown that breastfeeding has significant benefits with regard to cognitive development. However, emerging evidence has shown how breastfeeding may lead to equally beneficial outcomes with regard to cognitive development. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to assess the relevant evidence. Aims: The aim of this systematic review was to compare the impact of breastfeeding and formula feeding on cognitive development by analyzing prospective cohort studies. Methods: This research conducted a thorough search of several databases such as AMED, PUBMED in addition to British Nursing Index and CINAHL. The goal was to utilize all sources of information with regard to identification of prospective studies. The search was limited to articles published between 2000 and 2016, resulting in a total of 15 studies, including 10 quantitative and 5 qualitative studies, that were deemed relevant for review. To ensure that the studies selected for review were of high quality and free from biases, two critical appraisal tools were used. The first tool, the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP), is a widely recognized tool for evaluating the quality and rigor of qualitative and quantitative research studies. The second tool, the Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies developed by the Effective Public Health Project (EPHPP), is specifically designed to assess the quality of quantitative studies. Results: The review findings revealed that breastfeeding may provide cognitive advantages to children when compared to formula feeding. However, it is pertinent to note how these results are often confounding by factors such as socioeconomic status, parental education etc. Consequently, when evaluating the effects of breastfeeding and formula feeding on cognitive development, it is necessary to consider the role of environmental, biological, social, and cultural factors. Conclusion: Overall, this review underscores the need for further research to better understand the complex relationships between breastfeeding, formula feeding, and cognitive development and to help inform public health policies and interventions aimed at promoting optimal cognitive development in children.

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) seeks to facilitate and cultivate China's peaceful rise. According to China's position on maritime influence, the acquisition of global dominance can be achieved through the exercise of naval superiority and regulation of maritime commerce. This phenomenon can be explained by the fact that, despite the abundance of land, the sea route is the most effective way to facilitate vital economic interactions. China has been the focus of considerable scholarly investigation within the field of global politics. The rapid rise of China seems to be predominantly driven by an economy based on trade. Between 2007 and 2020, China made a significant contribution to the growth of international trade, comparable to that of other countries. This paper proposes an explanation of the manifestation of Chinese strategy in the Indian Ocean through the lens of securitization theory. According to Buzan, Waever, and de Wilde, a successful securitization process includes three key steps: the presence of threats to the entity's existence, the consequences of failing to follow accepted rules on interactions between interested parties, and the use of emergency measures. The geopolitical contours of the BRI's land and water components. After analyzing the geopolitical contribution of Gwadar and Djibouti within the context of the securitization logic intrinsic to the Chinese maritime Silk Road, it was determined that these two ports have a significant geopolitical impact. The Chinese approach towards the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) signifies more than mere pursuit of resources, connectivity, and infrastructure The analysis concludes that the Chinese maritime strategy in the Indian Ocean aims to achieve diverse securitization in the political, economic, and strategic spheres.

This article explores laws related to the protection of, and challenges to, consumer rights in the UK after its peoples’ decision to withdraw from the European Union (EU, henceforth) in 2016. Consumer protection laws are formulated and enacted to safeguard consumers from illegal and deceitful behavior of traders and salesmen, etc., and provide buyers with a range of legal guarantees and protections. These laws deal with a number of issues such as the safety of the products used by citizens, criminalize not only false advertising, but also excessive pricing, and breach of contract terms. In the UK, the main piece of consumer protection legislation is the Consumer Rights Act 2015. However, despite the existence of consumer protection laws and regulations, problems still occur, and consumers can still fall victim to fraudulent or unethical business practices. Therefore, it is important for consumers to be informed about their rights and to be vigilant in protecting themselves from scams and other forms of consumer fraud. Additionally, consumer protection is an issue that is constantly evolving as new technologies and business models emerge. For example, the rise of e-commerce and online marketplaces has created new challenges for consumer protection, as consumers may not always know who they are buying from or how to resolve disputes with online sellers.

OER as a certain solution for uncertain times: A reflection on the initiatives undertaken in Morocco during the covid-19 period
Authors: Ouahib Sara , Bendaoud Rachid , Shlaka Souhad , Berrada Khalid
Published: May 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has generated a high degree of uncertainty about the state of education. During this critical period, the entire educational landscape was in need of relevant educational resources that could be shared between and within educational networks. In this regard, open educational resources (OER) and open educational practices (OEP) have played an important role in ensuring educational continuity. Research has shown that open approaches will help make the higher education ecosystem more resilient to future crises and the sustainability of this ecosystem can be fueled by the widespread use of OER and OEP. However, additional work is still needed in this area either at the personal, organizational, or institutional level. In this paper, we discuss the potential of OER and OEP, as certain solutions, to improve quality and widen access in uncertain times such as the COVID-19 crisis, we also present an analysis from an OER perspective of the initiatives undertaken at the Cadi Ayyad University (UCA) in Morocco as example in order to assess the extent to which they can be considered as OER. On the other hand, we highlight the benefits of this experience, as well as identify the barriers that hinder the adoption of open solutions in order to propose some recommendations and guidelines to foster the implementation of these solutions.
A Comparative Study of Financial Inclusion in South Asian Countries
Authors: Siddiquee Muhammad Shahadat Hossain , Mamun Abdullah-Al
Published: May 2023

Though South Asian economies (SAEs) are progressing by adopting and implementing inclusive financial strategies, many adults, females, those with little or no education, who are not in the labor force, and those from the poorest households are still largely excluded when compared to high-income economies (HIEs). This article intends to explore how promotional inclusive finance is moving forward in the SAEs and whether it helps to converge with the HIEs. Variations in account ownership across SAEs by different characteristics as well as the gaps in account ownership with the HIEs and the globe have also been explored. For understanding and analytical purposes, this study uses the Global Findex Database 2017, the most comprehensive in the world dataset for measuring the extent of inclusive finance in terms of account ownership. Though global recognition of the importance of inclusive finance has been established, the literature lacks a comprehensive study that can identify the gaps in comparing account ownership of the SAEs with the HIEs and the world. This paper intends to fill up these gaps using descriptive statistics on account ownership for transactions, which is the ‘maker’ of financial inclusion.
Exposure to intimate partner violence and the physical and emotional abuse of children: Results from a national survey of female carers
Authors: Wolbers Heather , Boxall Hayley , Morgan Anthony
Published: May 2023

Drawing on a large sample of female carers living in Australia (n=3,775), this study aims to document and explore children and young people’s experiences of abuse in the past 12 months. We focus on children’s exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrated against their female carers, as well as children being the target of direct physical and emotional abuse themselves. Overall, a significant proportion of respondents who had a child in their care during the past 12 months said that a child was exposed to IPV perpetrated against them (14.1%). One in nine said a child in their care had been the target of direct abuse perpetrated by their current or most recent former partner (11.5%). Critically, one-third of respondents who experienced IPV said a child was exposed to the violence at least once in the past 12 months (34.8%). A number of factors were associated with an increased likelihood of children being subjected to direct abuse. These included the characteristics of respondents and their relationships, children and households. We also present evidence linking economic factors, including changes in employment, with the direct abuse of children.
A Study of Regional Image of Agricultural Product Impact on Purchase Intention
Authors: Fan MO , Weiming CHEE
Published: May 2023

This paper presents a theoretical model that focuses on enhancing consumers' purchase intention towards agricultural products by leveraging regional branding theory and customer perceived value. The aim is to boost the development of the agricultural industry, increase the added value and market competitiveness of agricultural products, and improve the efficiency and sustainability of agricultural production. To validate the relationship between regional image, perceived quality, and purchase intention, an online questionnaire survey was conducted involving 612 participants. The results indicate that the regional image of agricultural products significantly and positively influences both purchase intention and consumer perceived quality value. Moreover, perceived quality acts as a mediator between regional image and purchase intention. It is recommended that agricultural product enterprises maintain their regional image, enhance consumer perception, and stimulate purchase intention. Collaboration between enterprises and local governments can effectively promote the regional image of agricultural products. Furthermore, it is important to consider the country-of-origin effect within the same country and incorporate its impact on consumers into the customer perceived value variable. The study integrates consumers' perceived quality value and investigates the influence of regional image on purchase intentions, providing agricultural companies with more objective and scientific guidance for their marketing activities.

Ovidio global: variaciones ovidianas en la edad de Góngora
Authors: Blanco Mercedes
Published: May 2023

The writers of Góngora’s age found in Ovid the quintessential master of poetic art. This article examines three properties of the Sulmona poet’s writing that could explain his position of supremacy: his wit and humor, his invention of a political fiction that dresses the monarch and his court with the attributes of the Olympian gods, and finally, the elegiac subjectivity that permeates all his creations.
“Ícaros de discursos racionales”: The Comet of 1680–1681, Sor Juana’s Neptuno alegórico, and the Enduring Function of Myths in an Age of Enlightenment
Authors: Rodríguez-Rincón Luis
Published: May 2023

Stark differences have been noted in the ways Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora responded in 1680 to the arrival in New Spain of both a new viceroy as well as a great comet. Such comparisons have tended to hinge on the question of which of the two colonial Spanish-American writers was more “modern” versus “traditional.” Such valuative contrasts between Sor Juana and Sigüenza y Góngora implicitly evoke a commonplace but erroneous historical narrative that privileges the advent of modern science at the expense of poetry and myth. It is by acknowledging the shared affective goal of myth and early modern science in regulating human fears of natural forces, as Hans Blumenberg has done, that scholars can better assess the enduring function of Neptune for a poet like Sor Juana in an Age of Enlightenment. This reappraisal of myth’s function permits in turn a more dialogic reading of Sor Juana and Sigüenza y Góngora’s respective arches and their shared Neptunian response to the debates that raged in seventeenth-century Mexico City over flood control efforts and the value of indigenous hydraulic knowledge. In this reading, Neptune represents a European mythographic discourse of power over nature that serves to both assuage criollo fears of flooding while also displacing the challenge posed by indigenous hydraulic knowledge to Spanish intellectual hegemony in New Spain in part by replacing the Mexica god Tlaloc with Neptune.
Identificação de áreas propícias à instalação de sistemas de infiltração para a minimização de inundações e alagamentos na bacia hidrográfica do rio Belém, Curitiba, Paraná
Authors: Bertolino Alessandro , Garcias Carlos Mello , Castro Stéphanie Louise Inácio
Published: May 2023

A aplicação de sistemas de infiltração como medidas não convencionais de drenagem depende de diversos aspectos, entre eles as características físicas do local de instalação, que podem ser valoradas e comparadas. Essa análise contribui no planejamento, para que o dimensionamento e instalação dos sistemas de infiltração sejam feitos para locais que apresentem condições de recebê-los. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar áreas propícias à instalação de sistemas de infiltração para a minimização de alagamentos na bacia hidrográfica do rio Belém, no município de Curitiba, Paraná. Para cumprir esse objetivo, identificaram-se as áreas livres na bacia hidrográfica que pudessem receber tais estruturas de infiltração, levantaram-se as características que influenciam na infiltração das águas e aplicaram-se técnicas de geoprocessamento, com o auxílio do software ArcGis 10.5, para a determinação de áreas propícias para a instalação dos sistemas. Com a aplicação do método, pode-se observar que as principais áreas para aplicação de sistemas de infiltração das águas de chuva ficam na porção norte da bacia hidrográfica do rio Belém. Essa região foi considerada a mais propícia principalmente pela presença de solo e subsolo com maior permeabilidade do que outras áreas da bacia estudada. Também se percebeu que a implantação em outras áreas, por exemplo, nas regiões mais próximas da foz, não teria tanta efetividade para o estímulo da infiltração, principalmente em razão das condições do solo e declividade. Conclui-se que a efetividade de sistemas de infiltração pode ser maximizada com a adequada escolha do local de implantação, levando em conta as características locais.

Published: May 2023

A presença de algas pode dificultar o tratamento de água em estações de tratamento de água (ETA) convencionais, reduzindo a sedimentação dos flocos, colmatando o leito filtrante e aumentando o consumo de produtos químicos. Este trabalho visa estudar a utilização de um clarificador ascendente em pedregulho com cinco camadas, no tratamento da água bruta que chega à ETA Castello Branco/PE, em que há histórico de algas. A granulometria do leito estudado variou entre 2,0 e 25,4 mm, e a taxa utilizada foi de 80 m3 / m2 .dia. A densidade total média de cianobactérias na Barragem Tapacurá, que corresponde a 52% da água bruta que chega à ETA, foi de 49.713 células/mL, sendo 85,8% do total de cianobactérias correspondente a Cylindrospermopsis. Como resultado, a água clarificada (clarificador piloto) apresentou menor valor de cor e turbidez médias quando comparada à água decantada da ETA (redução de 72,8 e 37,7%, respectivamente), e cor média 20% menor quando comparada à água tratada, com a turbidez se mantendo no mesmo patamar (~ 0,5 uT). A utilização do clarificador possibilitou reduzir a dosagem de coagulante utilizado na ETA pela metade, resultando em cor de 4,0 uC e turbidez média de 0,57 uT (com mínima de 0,35 uT) na água clarificada, com possibilidade de atingir, após a filtração, turbidez menor que 0,3 uT.
Análise dos potenciais benefícios socioambientais na coleta seletiva ponto a ponto em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil

Published: May 2023

A gestão dos resíduos sólidos urbanos nos municípios brasileiros pode ser melhorada com a implementação da coleta seletiva, visto que a reciclagem é uma alternativa ambientalmente adequada para sua destinação. Em Belo Horizonte/MG (Brasil), as coletas de recicláveis são realizadas por meio das modalidades porta a porta e ponto a ponto. Esta última possui o atrativo de permitir o acesso da população 24 horas ao dia, tornando-se uma potencial geradora de benefícios por permitir a reutilização de materiais, a não destinação para aterro, entre outros impactos positivos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estimar o potencial de coleta dos resíduos sólidos recicláveis para a modalidade ponto a ponto e valorar os possíveis benefícios socioambientais obtidos com a reciclagem desses resíduos em Belo Horizonte. Para tanto, foi estimada a geração de resíduos potencialmente recicláveis pela população atendida nessa modalidade, o que permitiu a análise em dois cenários de coleta dos resíduos recicláveis. Com base nisso, foram estimados tanto os benefícios econômicos quanto o benefício total. Como resultado, estimouse que em 2019 tenham sido geradas 22 t/dia de resíduos potencialmente recicláveis pela população atendida na modalidade ponto a ponto. Todavia, observou-se que a capacidade dos contenedores e a frequência de coleta permitiam maior recepção desses resíduos. Entre os aspectos analisados, apenas no cenário de maior coleta dos resíduos foi verificado um benefício positivo, demonstrando que uma maior participação popular é essencial para um saldo positivo durante o processo de reciclagem.

Published: May 2023

Objective: the present equivalence two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial aimed to compare survival and marginal bone loss (MBL) of short implants (≤6 mm) and standard implants (≥8.5 mm) associated with sinus floor elevation (SFE). Methods: adult patients with partial edentulism with occlusal stability in the sinus area and intermediate bone height were selected in this double-blind trial (patient and outcome assessment). Patients were randomly allocated into two groups: standard length implants with SFE (control) or short implants (test). Clinical and radiographic assessments were made at the time of implant placement, 6 months, and annually thereafter up to 2 years after loading. The inter-examiner agreement was analyzed using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). One-way ANOVA, Kaplan-Meier, and Log-rank tests were used to compare implant survival (primary outcome) and MBL (secondary outcome) (P<0.05). Results: eight short implants and six standard implants were placed (mean age of patients was 47 ±12.5 years). The implant survival rates were 87.5% for short (one 5 mm implant failed at 7 months) and 100% for standard implants with no statistically significant difference between groups (P=0.4). The mean MBL after 1 year was 0.30 ±0.62 mm for short and 0.21 ±0.36 mm for standard implants (P=0.123). The inter-examiner agreement was set in 0.831. Conclusion: survival of short implants and standard implants associated with SFE was similar after two years of clinical service. Trial registration: Registered on 27-03-2018 at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03479333). Funding: This study was partially funded by Capes Finance Code 001 and #88881.187933/2018-01. TPC is partially funded by National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq - Brazil). The funders had no role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish or preparation of the manuscript.Keywords: bone resorption; dental implants; sinus floor augmentation; survival.

Published: May 2023

Objetivo: o fibroma ossificante trabecular juvenil (FOJT) é uma lesão fibro-óssea incomum, benigna, porém de comportamento agressivo. Ocorre, frequentemente, em crianças e adolescentes, com maior acometimento em maxila e mandíbula. O presente relato aborda os aspectos clínicos, imaginológicos, histopatológicos, imuno-histoquímicos e o tratamento de um caso de FOTJ. Além de discutir suas similaridades com o osteossarcoma de baixo grau e as alternativas para o seu diagnóstico. Relato de caso: paciente do sexo masculino, com 12 anos de idade, apresentando aumento de volume em mandíbula no lado esquerdo, perda de função mastigatória e de fala, com tempo de evolução de seis meses. Radiograficamente, a lesão apresentava aspecto unilocular, com limites definidos e de padrão misto. O tratamento consistiu em cirurgia de enucleação total da lesão, seguida de curetagem sob anestesia geral. A histopatologia e a ausência de marcação para MDM2 e CDK4 na imuno-histoquímica confirmaram o diagnóstico de FOTJ e excluíram o de osteossarcoma de baixo grau. No controle pós-operatório de 20 dias, o paciente relatou melhora da parestesia, da função mastigatória e da fala e ausência de dor. Não se observou recidiva no acompanhamento de 1 ano após a cirurgia. Considerações finais: a similaridade dos aspectos clínico, imaginológico e microscópico entre FOJT e osteossarcoma de baixo grau pressupõe o estudo imuno-histoquímico com os marcadores MDM2 e CDK4, minimizando equívocos no diagnóstico e orientando de forma mais eficiente o plano de tratamento adotado.Palavras-chave: lesões fibro-ósseas benignas; fibroma ossificante; fibroma ossificante juvenil trabecular; osteossarcoma craniofacial.

Published: May 2023

Objective: the present report describes the clinical, radiographic, and histopathological features of an ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) lesion. Case report: we report a clinical case of a 14-year-old boy with asymptomatic edema. Panoramic radiography detected a unilocular lesion with defined margins located in the posterior region of the mandible. The internal structure of the lesion presented several degrees of radiopacity with the involvement of the third molar. Cone-beam computed tomography revealed expanded buccal and lingual cortical bones, perforation of the lingual cortical bone, and displacement of the mandibular canal. AFO was suspected based on the radiographic and clinical characteristics. Total excision was performed and histologically examined, confirming the diagnosis of AFO. No recurrence occurred during a 24-month follow-up period. Final considerations: the evaluation of the clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic findings needs to be accurate for a correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment for case of AFO since the presentation is often asymptomatic.Keywords: odontogenic tumors; radiography panoramic; cone-beam computed tomography.

Autonomous vehicles are already a reality in many contexts. Most of them need sensors to move around their environment, which increases the complexity and cost of the project. This study uses the coordinates of the Cartesian plane to orient a prototype vehicle in relation to its geographic space, allowing it to move to predefined coordinates without the use of any sensors. For the steering system of the prototype, concepts of point, line, and vectors were used. The initial position of the vehicle is represented by a vector, which informs its direction in the plane, having as final destination any point in the Cartesian system. From this information, a displacement vector is created, which leads the prototype to the reference point, and indicates the angle it must rotate. Regarding the direction of rotation, the concept of parallel lines between the prototype's vector and the destination point was used, where the analysis of their y-intercept determines if the vehicle rotates to the left or right. So, with the use of vectors and the Cartesian plane, it was possible to determine fundamental information for the locomotion of the prototype, such as angle and direction of rotation, although there was some difficulty in determining the graphic location of the vector.

The composition and physical state of the culture medium, as well as the effect of supplementation in different subcultures, are determining factors for the regeneration and good development of the in vitro explant. Therefore, this study aimed to study the effect of the culture medium on micropropagation during four subcultures, depending on the growth variables of the genotypes Dioscorea alata L., D. alata var. purpurea (Roxb.) A. Pouchet, and D. rotundata. Nodal segments of 1 cm length of plants previously cultivated in vitro were introduced into 10 mL of MS culture media supplemented with 100 mg L-1 of inositol, 20 mg L-1 of cysteine, 0.20 mg L-1 of ANA, 0.08 mg L-1 of AG3 and 0.05 mg L-1 of BAP and 2GGC basic, both in solid and liquid states plus 3 g L-1 of activated charcoal and 30 g L-1 of sucrose and the pH adjusted by 5.8 before autoclaving. At every 30 days of in vitro culture, development variables, percentage of responsive explants, and the number of calluses were evaluated. The MS and solid 2GGC media are the most suitable for the multiplication of the genotypes D. alata and D. alata var. purpurea. For the D. rotundata genotype, the solid MS medium is the most suitable for its in vitro multiplication.

Metal piping in industrial plants is subject to corrosion under insulation, which reduces the wall thickness and limits service life and operating conditions. The Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) technique can be effective in the inspection of isolated metallic materials. However, changes in magnetic permeability make its use difficult in ferromagnetic steels. In this work, we used Neodymium magnets to magnetize the material during tests with a probe. We developed a 3D finite element model to reproduce the magnetic field of the PEC probe and identify defects under insulation. Theoretical results satisfactorily matched the experimental results.

Effective communication within the hospital environment can significantly improve practice safety in health services, especially during the handover process. Handover is a transfer of information during the shift transition. Numerous studies have presented evidence of the Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation (SBAR) format in enhancing effective communication during handovers. Here, we aimed to explore SBAR communication during handovers in a public hospital in Bali. This quantitative descriptive study applied a cross-sectional approach and employed 20 participants who were selected using a total sampling technique. A questionnaire was enrolled to collect participants’ demography characteristics and the handover process. The majority of participants were female (90%), with a mean age of 28 years, a working duration <3 years (55%), and registered nurses (45%). SBAR format was effectively delivered during the handovers (95%), especially among female participants (85%), aged 29 years old (20%), participants with less than <3 years of working experience (55%), and registered nurses (40%). SBAR format assists a clear, complete, well-directed, and concise organization of clinical information during the handover process. According to the model care, we only found one team member (5%) with ineffective SBAR communication. Ninety-five percent of the participants had performed proper SBAR handovers. We assumed that model of care may associate with SBAR handovers skill.

This study was conducted to identify and compare areas perceived to be high-touch surfaces in patient hospital rooms by ward nurses and inpatients to prioritize cleaning and disinfection of these areas and also to improve hospital environment management. The participants were 122 nurses who worked in general hospital wards and 56 patients hospitalized at a 299-bed general hospital in Seoul. We selected 38 items from the high-touch surfaces identified by patients in previous studies and guidelines and classified them into 4 categories. For each item, the contact frequency was investigated with a self-report questionnaire on a graphic rating scale that contained 11 points. Data were collected from April 1, 2020, to April 30, 2020. The average recognition score of the frequency of high-touch surfaces was significantly higher in nurses than in patients. (5.96 ± 1.47 vs. 2.35 ± 1.98, p<0.001). The top seven high-touch surfaces included intravenous poles, bedrails, bed height remote controls, bedside tables, restroom door handles, bedside personal locks, and restroom seats, and the ranking of these surfaces was different between nurses and patients. While nurses and patients showed a consensus when identifying major high-touch surfaces, there was a big difference in their perception of these areas’ touch frequency. This study will help to understand and establish categories and criteria for high-touch surfaces in the future.
