Authors: Ahmad Afandi
Published: January 2023

Di era big data saat ini, perkembangan informasi sangat pesat, memungkinkan setiap individu memiliki data yang lengkap dan terbaru. Kemudahan dalam mengakses informasi ini membuat seakan dunia tanpa batas, tanpa ada kendala waktu, dan jarak dalam memperoleh informasi yang dibutuhkan. Hal ini menuntut anak usia dini  untuk memiliki kecerdasan moral yang baik. Kecerdasan moral adalah kemampuan untuk memahami benar dan salah dan pendirian yang kuat untuk berpikir dan berperilaku sesuai dengan nilai moral (Borba, 2001). Dengan anak usia dini  memiliki kecerdasan moral yang baik, anak usia dini  bisa memilih informasi mana yang boleh dan mana yang tidak boleh diakses. Kecerdasan moral anak usia dini  dapat ditingkatkan melalui pendidikan moral yang diberikan oleh keluarga, sekolah, dan masyarakat. Dibutuhkan komitmen dan konsistensi dari semua pihak dalam memberikan pendidikan moral pada para anak usia dini . Dengan kecerdasan moral yang dimiliki anak usia dini , anak usia dini  akan terjaga dari tantangan dan tekanan etika yang tidak bisa dihindari oleh anak usia dini . Kecerdasan moral dapat membentengi anak usia dini  dari mengakses informasi-informasi yang tidak sesuai dengan nilai-nilai moral yang ada.

Published: January 2023

Background: Hospitalized advanced cancer patients and their families are inadequately informed about their cancer diagnosis and prognosis, which limits educated and reasonable decision-making for their care and end-of-life planning. Objectives: The primary objective of this evidence-based project was to enhance serious illness conversations (SICs) with advanced cancer patients by providing advanced practice providers (APP) training and to increase the frequency of SIC documentation in the electronic medical record (EMR). Methods: SIC training included a 45-minute Zoom video recording and 30-minute discussion groups. Advanced practice providers’ beliefs and self-efficacy were measured pre- and post-training via a survey. Prior training was queried in the pre-survey. Data from APP discussion groups were summarized and themes identified. Serious illness conversation documentation frequency was measured. Pre- and post-survey differences were assessed using Wilcoxon rank sum tests. Findings: 19 inpatient medical oncology nurse practitioners and 6 physician assistants participated. Many reported little formal training yet are engaging in SICs regularly. Scores on both the belief and self-efficacy survey sections were high prior to training and did not significantly change following training. Despite the high pre-survey scores, many of the APPs verbalized the need for more training to improve their confidence and to learn SIC communication skills. Training significantly improved the APP’s ability to manage their own emotions and be present. This indicates a trend toward improved APP comfort with SICs. Accessible documentation in the EMR increased with training.

Authors: Jackson, PhD, FNP-BC, NEA-BC, FAANP Heather , West, MSN, AG-ACNP-BC Olivia , Austin, MSN, AGACNP-BC, AOCNP Annie , Peal, MBA, RTT Karline
Published: January 2023

Background: Across the United States, an incremental need for cancer care continues to emerge. Specialty nurse practitioners and physician assistant teams have helped in meeting this demand. However, there is a need for evidence-based recommendations to inform appropriate provider-patient staffing ratios that encompass complex cancer treatments and ensure optimal care. Methods: A literature review identified a gap in existing research with regard to recommended inpatient provider-patient ratios for hematology and oncology services. The conceptual framework of ICU nursing workload was utilized to ensure a comprehensive understanding of an inpatient specialty cancer provider’s duties. Results: Within the unit, job, patient, and situation workload levels, there were multiple interventions implemented to streamline systems and improve workplace conditions for providers, as measured by the work-related quality of life (WRQoL) scale. Patient satisfaction scores improved an average of 4% across multiple criteria and exceeded benchmark rankings by 10.7% surrounding communication with nurses and physicians (a 6.3% increase). Discharge efficiency improved, with 6.1% more discharges occurring by 11:00 am, and length of stay was noted to be 8.8 days fewer than teaching services treating the same cancer diagnosis. Finally, additional shift pay was greatly reduced and turnover decreased by 17%. Conclusion: Application of the conceptual framework of ICU nursing workload provided a scientific assessment of specialty inpatient cancer services within one institution. Interventions resulted in improved working conditions, patient satisfaction, discharge efficiency, and reduced turnover, ultimately ensuring the provision of high-quality cancer care.
Characterization of Catalase Enzyme from Leaf Tissue of Aronia (Aronia melanocarpa) Plant
Authors: TAŞ Ömer , MİTROVİCA Betül , EKİNCİ Deniz
Published: January 2023

Aronia is among the most antioxidant containing plants which is found commonly around the world. Aronia cultivation started in Turkey for the first time in 2012 at the Atatürk Central Research Institute of Garden Cultures, and a plantation was constructed in the experimental area. Since antioxidants help to preserve food by blocking oxidation processes and contributing to the health promotion provided by numerous dietary supplements, nutraceutical and functional food additives, antioxidant capacity of these plants should be well characterized. To assess and evaluate the antioxidant content of foods and plant products, many approaches are utilized. In this study, catalase (CAT) enzyme was partially purified from aronia plant leaf tissue and characterization was carried out. Purification process consisted of homogenate preparation, ammonium sulfate precipitation and dialysis. The optimal ionic strength, pH, substrate concentration and enzyme quantity were examined. These values were found to be 300 mM Tris, pH:8.0, 12 mM H2O2 and 75 μl, respectively, for the catalase enzyme of the Aronia plant leaf tissue. This study is the first in the literature dealing with the characterization of antioxidant enzyme from Aronia plant.

Are Institutional Research Data Policies in the US Supporting the FAIR Principles? A Content Analysis
Authors: Llebot Clara , Castillo Diana J.
Published: January 2023

Objective: The FAIR principles were created with the goal of enhancing the reusability of research data and to give guidance on how to make data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. In this article we explore the role of institutional research data policies in enabling and encouraging researchers at their institutions to generate FAIR data.Methods: We identified the research data policies in place for “very high research activity” institutions (as defined by Carnegie classification) in the United States. We created a list of 31 criteria, based on previous work by Davidson et al. (2019) and Briney et al. (2015), and evaluated the 40 policies using a content analysis methodology. Results: The guiding principles and the definitions for research data in the policies support the idea that institutional policies are a potential tool for the implementation of the FAIR principles. However, our analysis indicates that they are not generally used for that purpose. Only one policy mentions FAIR. Data sharing is mentioned in half of the policies, but 11 of these only note this concept in the context of funder requirements. Access and retention sections are mostly written without considering publicly available data. Twenty-nine policies do not mention data documentation. Conclusions: We discuss ways in which these institutional policies represent a missed opportunity to implement the FAIR principles and suggest ways policies could be modified to encourage researchers to follow them. We also discuss future research opportunities to examine how policy implementation may affect what institutional support researchers receive.

There's no "I" in Research Data Management: Reshaping RDM Services Toward a Collaborative Multi-Stakeholder Model
Authors: Rod Alisa B. , Zhou Biru , Rousseau Marc-Etienne
Published: January 2023

Objective: This article examines a reshaped service model for research data management (RDM) founded on centralized and cohesive collaboration between multiple stakeholders at a large research university in Canada. This initiative, along with a newly formed team dedicated to RDM service provision, is a joint effort by the institution’s Vice-Principal Research and Innovation (VPRI), Library, IT Services, and Research Ethics units.Methods: This article presents a single case study methodology. The authors reflect on services such as “query the panel” sessions where researchers across all disciplines bring their questions to representatives from the Library, IT, Research Ethics, and VPRI. This case study also highlights the use of Jira’s service desk software as a user management system. The authors also present descriptive statistics representing engagement with this new unit and our services.Results: Support for RDM requires expertise from multiple domains. With a collaborative approach as a guiding principle and a focus on establishing a small, but agile team comprised of a librarian along with stakeholders from IT and VPRI, it is possible to leverage resources and support for RDM from a broad range of units across an institution. Conclusions: At many institutions, RDM services are siloed within the library or an adjacent campus unit. New digital technologies have profoundly transformed academic research across all disciplines, necessitating the evolution of corresponding research data-related services. The authors will conclude by outlining specific lessons learned in reshaping digital research infrastructure-related services at their institution.

Authors: Ruhs Nicholas
Published: January 2023

Objectives: To support the library’s research data services program and provide opportunities for student employees to gain skills in supporting data science research and teaching, the author led the creation of a data fellowship program at their institution. The author describes the development of the program’s peer-to-peer support model and how that model was integrated into the library’s broader research data services program.Methods: There were two aspects to the fellowship’s peer-to-peer support model. First, the data fellows provided direct support to their peers—through instruction, reference support, and outreach—who were engaged in data-related research projects and class assignments. Second, the fellows engaged in professional development and learning opportunities led by library colleagues. Results: During the first year of the program, the data fellows provided virtual data reference support, developed two CANVAS modules, conducted an email outreach campaign, and authored several blog posts. Furthermore, the data fellows received data reference training and engaged in discussions with library experts on pertinent data-related topics. These discussions provide the fellows with knowledge and skills that can be utilized both during and after the fellowship.Conclusions: The first year of the STEM Data Fellowship program proved to be successful in establishing the foundation for a robust peer-to-peer learning and support model for research data services at the author’s institution. The author plans to further enhance and grow the program in future years by providing more opportunities for established and new data fellows to contribute to the library’s ongoing RDS efforts.

With this research, the authors would like to contribute to the understanding and identification of corruption, which is an important factor that can affect FDI in Croatia. The scientific and pragmatic purpose of this research is to identify an appropriate anti-corruption policy to influence the increase of FDI in Croatia. The research sample includes data for all countries that have FDI in Croatia as well as countries where Croatia has FDI. The authors added indicators on the level of FDI for the level of corruption in Croatia which were statistically processed. The statistical analysis is performed based on a total of 614 different values where the FDI of individual countries is put in relation to Croatia on a yearly basis, and the CPI was measured in those countries in the same year as in Croatia. The main hypothesis is that corruption "as sand" significantly negatively affects foreign direct investment in Croatia. An alternative hypothesis has also been formulated that corruption "as sand" significantly affects Croatia's foreign direct investment in foreign countries. The results showed that in the period from 1999 to 2019 there was no connection between corruption and FDI in Croatia. However, when the connection between corruption and Croatian FDI is observed, such a connection is becoming stronger as the FDI increases. Such a relationship between corruption and Croatia’s FDI can be characterized as "as grease." However, when only seven countries in which Croatia has the most direct investments were considered, a significant positive correlation was found between such investments and measured corruption in those countries, therefore the alternative hypothesis was accepted. The obtained results of the conducted research can provide important knowledge to the creators of Croatian economic policy that the impact of corruption on Croatian FDI abroad "as grease" in the future may be a very limiting factor to an increase in investments when the level of corruption in these countries decreases, which already applies to countries where corruption is shown to be at a low level.

The locus coeruleus broadcasts prediction errors across the cortex to promote sensorimotor plasticity
Authors: Jordan Rebecca , Keller Georg B.
Published: January 2023

Prediction errors are differences between expected and actual sensory input and are thought to be key computational signals that drive learning related plasticity. One way that prediction errors could drive learning is by activating neuromodulatory systems to gate plasticity. The catecholaminergic locus coeruleus (LC) is a major neuromodulatory system involved in neuronal plasticity in the cortex. Using two-photon calcium imaging in mice exploring a virtual environment, we found that the activity of LC axons in the cortex correlated with the magnitude of unsigned visuomotor prediction errors. LC response profiles were similar in both motor and visual cortical areas, indicating that LC axons broadcast prediction errors throughout the dorsal cortex. While imaging calcium activity in layer 2/3 of the primary visual cortex, we found that optogenetic stimulation of LC axons facilitated learning of a stimulus-specific suppression of visual responses during locomotion. This plasticity – induced by minutes of LC stimulation – recapitulated the effect of visuomotor learning on a scale that is normally observed during visuomotor development across days. We conclude that prediction errors drive LC activity, and that LC activity facilitates sensorimotor plasticity in the cortex, consistent with a role in modulating learning rates.***

Activation-pathway transitions in human voltage-gated proton channels revealed by a non-canonical fluorescent amino acid
Authors: Suárez-Delgado Esteban , Orozco-Contreras Maru , Rangel-Yescas Gisela E , Islas Leon D
Published: January 2023

Voltage-dependent gating of the voltage-gated proton channels (HV1) remains poorly understood, partly because of the difficulty of obtaining direct measurements of voltage sensor movement in the form of gating currents. To circumvent this problem, we have implemented patch-clamp fluorometry in combination with the incorporation of the fluorescent non-canonical amino acid Anap to monitor channel opening and movement of the S4 segment. Simultaneous recording of currents and fluorescence signals allows for direct correlation of these parameters and investigation of their dependence on voltage and the pH gradient (ΔpH). We present data that indicate that Anap incorporated in the S4 helix is quenched by an aromatic residue located in the S2 helix and that motion of the S4 relative to this quencher is responsible for fluorescence increases upon depolarization. The kinetics of the fluorescence signal reveal the existence of a very slow transition in the deactivation pathway, which seems to be singularly regulated by ΔpH. Our experiments also suggest that the voltage sensor can move after channel opening and that the absolute value of the pH can influence the channel opening step. These results shed light on the complexities of voltage-dependent opening of human HV1 channels.
CAGE16-2 Cruise Report: Marine Geological Cruise to the Maud Basin and Crater Area, Bjørnøyrenna
Authors: Andreassen Karin
Published: January 2023

The cruise was a part of the Centre of Excellence for Gas Hydrate, Environment and Climate (CAGE) at UiT – The Arctic University of Norway.
The aim of the cruise was to visit two study areas: the first a new study site called Maud Basin in southern Bjørnøyrenna – an area where industry data has shown promising evidence for gas leakage associated with pingo/crater formation and an underlying hydrocarbon reservoir. The second site is the Crater Area previously visited by CAGE in 2015 (15-5).
More specific objectives of the cruise were to:
Obtain multibeam and seismic lines over pingos and craters in Maud Basin, southern Bjørnøyrenna, already identified on industry seismic dataRe-examine the high density flares areas of the Crater Area previously surveyed in 2015 for any changesSurvey new areas in the surrounding region of the Crater AreaObtain plankton net data from gas leaking sites for analyses of biomass
The cruise may be known as: CAGE16_2
Combination of Vitamin C and Lenvatinib potentiates antitumor effects in hepatocellular carcinoma cells in vitro

Published: January 2023

Lenvatinib has become a first-line drug in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Investigating its use in combination with other agents is of great significance to improve the sensitivity and durable response of Lenvatinib in advanced HCC patients. Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid, ascorbate, VC) is an important natural antioxidant, which has been reported to show suppressive effects in cancer treatment. Here, we investigated the effect of the combination of VC and Lenvatinib in HCC cells in vitro. We found that treatment of VC alone significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion in HCC cells. Additionally, VC was strongly synergistic with Lenvatinib in inhibition of the proliferative, migratory and invasive capacities of HCC cells in vitro. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that the combination of VC and Lenvatinib has synergistic antitumor activities against HCC cells, providing a promising therapeutic strategy to improve the prognosis of HCC patients.

Background

Stevia straw is a byproduct of sugar crop stevia. It is a good feed material because of richness in nutrients and active substances (steviosides and flavonoids). However, due to improper utilization such as piling, burning and so on, it became a large amount of wasted straw resources and lead to environmental pollution.

Methods

We added 0%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1.0% and 1.5% of stevia stalk to study the effects of different stevia stalk concentrations on nutrient utilization and rumen fermentation in sheep (based on sheep diet). In vitro fermentation method was used, with 17 repetitions for each treatment. All fermentation substrate based on sheep diet with different stevia stalk concentrations were fermented for 2 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h, then the gas production, dry matter degradability (DMD), crude protein degradability (CPD), neutral detergent fiber degradability (NDFD), acid detergent fiber degradability (ADFD), pH, ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) were determined.

Results

The results showed that at different fermentation time, the change trend of gas production in each teatment was basically same, but the maximum occurred in 1.0% treatment at 48 h. The DMD, CPD, NDFD and ADFD of sheep diets increased with fermentation time increasing, especially the CPD48h, NDFD48h and ADFD48h of diets in 0.8%, 1.0% and 1.5% treatments were significantly higher than those in control (P < 0.05). The pH of fermentation substrate in each treatment remained within the normal range of 6.21∼7.25. NH3-N24h–48hin 0.8%, 1.0% and 1.5% treatments were higher than that in control. At 6 h–12 h, the total acid content of 0.8% and 1.0% treatments were significantly higher than those of other treatments (P < 0.05), it reached the highest in 1.0% treatment. According to overall evaluation, effect ranking of stevia stalk on sheep nutrient utilization was as follows: 1.0% >0.8% >1.5% >0.4% >0.6% >0.2%. Overall, 1.0% stevia stalk could promote nutrient degradation and sheep rumen fermentation.

Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most successful pathogens that can cause difficult-to-treat nosocomial infections. Outbreaks and infections caused by multi-drug resistant A. baumannii are prevalent worldwide, with only a few antibiotics are currently available for treatments. Plasmids represent an ideal vehicle for acquiring and transferring resistance genes in A. baumannii. Five extensively drug-resistant A. baumannii clinical isolates from three major Jordanian hospitals were fully sequenced. Whole-Genome Sequences (WGS) were used to study the antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes, sequence types, and phylogenetic relationship of the isolates. Plasmids were characterized In-silico, followed by conjugation, and plasmid curing experiments. Eight plasmids were recovered; resistance plasmids carrying either aminoglycosides or sulfonamide genes were detected. Chromosomal resistance genes included blaOXA-66, blaOXA-91, and blaOXA-23,and the detected virulence factors were involved in biofilm formation, adhesion, and many other mechanisms. Conjugation and plasmid curing experiments resulted in the transfer or loss of several resistance phenotypes. Plasmid profiling along with phylogenetic analyses revealed high similarities between two A. baumannii isolates recovered from two different intensive care units (ICU). The high similarities between the isolates of the study, especially the two ICU isolates, suggest that there is a common A. baumannii strain prevailing in different ICU wards in Jordanian hospitals. Three resistance genes were plasmid-borne, and the transfer of the resistance phenotype emphasizes the role and importance of conjugative plasmids in spreading resistance among A. baumannii clinical strains.
