Authors: Emenike Orji Chikwendu , Omita Efe , B. Okeoma Kelechukwu
Published: July 2022

Background: The exposure of radiation workers to ionizing radiations, especially in medical field has increased due to the use of advance technological equipment in the diagnostic radiology and radiotherapy departments. This study is aimed at evaluating the effects of ionizing radiation on CBC parameters of medical radiation workers in South-South, Nigeria.
Materials and Methods: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in three teaching hospitals to include 39 radiation workers and 39 non-radiation workers with same year of working experience of one year to 10 years.
Results: The mean values for CBC in DSUTH are; radiation workers (WBC: 6.41, RBC= 5.47, Platelet = 240.28, Hb = 13.64 and Lymphocyte = 27.86) and non-radiation workers (WBC= 6.41, RBC= 5.47, Platelet = 250.75, Hb = 13.63 and Lymphocyte = 27.78).There were no statistically significance differences in the mean values of CBC in radiation and non-radiation workers in DSUTH (p > 0.05). There were no statistically significance differences in the mean values of CBC in radiation and non-radiation workers in NDUTH (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Complete blood cells parameters only cannot be used as the most reliable indices for evaluating radiation biological risks associated with long term exposure, as we found that there was no statistically significant mean difference of CBC in radiation workers and non-radiation workers

Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL) Through Kahoot: A Learner-Centric Approach in Nursing Education - Systematic Review
Authors: M Mini Simon , C K Nisha , Srivastava Tripti K
Published: July 2022

Introduction: The teaching-learning activities in nursing have changed tremendously in the post-COVID-19 situation around the world. The learning style of Z generation students demands a technologically sound and sprightly chosen method of evaluation. Digital Game-based learning is one of the components of the Learning Management System which figures a great level of student motivation and participation in interactive learning which incorporates different teaching styles. Kahoot! Is a Game-Based Learning platform used to review students' knowledge, for formative assessment, or as a break from traditional classroom activities?
Objective: To explore the teaching and learning experiences of nursing students using the Kahoot!.app.
Methodology: A comprehensive search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Knowledge, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PsycINFO, and CINAHL from 2013 to April 2022 was conducted. Qualitative and quantitative studies, Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and systematic reviews in the English language were only included in the search. The reviewer searched, screened, assessed study quality, and extracted data. Literature search strategies and article retrieval was guided by -Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). Meta-analysis was not considered valid due to the heterogeneity of identified populations, interventions, comparisons, and outcomes; hence a narrative synthesis is presented.
Results: A total of 10 research articles published in peer-reviewed journals were included in this study. Three synthesized findings were generated from the categories:
(i) Kahoot is implemented as a teaching and assessment tool in nursing. (ii) Acknowledging as a source of motivation for learners. (iii) Encourages the learners to reflect on their strengths and weakness as an "assessment for learning tool". (iv) Through digital-based games students understand complex concepts, promote critical thinking, and acquire decision-making skills. However, there is one study that shows no significant effect in the interventional group.
Conclusion: Kahoot assists to create a dynamic learning environment and enhances the long-term retention of information. Gaming makes a positive impact on the teaching/learning process. The nursing curriculum can be fortified with a robust method of learner-centric methods like digital-based gamification-Kahoot, to cater to the learning needs of digital natives of present nursing students.

Strategic human resource management (SHRM) is an approach to human resource management that supports long-term organizational goals and objectives from a strategic perspective. It can also be defined as the integrating of an organization's strategic goals with its human resources to improve performance and efficiency. Why Strategic HR Management? Strategic HRM covers all HR activities that help an organization achieve its goals and objectives. This approach focuses on aligning HR policies, processes, and systems with long-term business goals and outcomes. In strategic HRM, the role of HR is transformative, leader and initiator. The HR initiative is swift, proactive and integrated. This Strategic Human Resource Management book will provide deep knowledge about various key aspects of Strategic HR Management so that readers can design, develop & execute well-defined HR strategies which are in alignment with larger organizational strategies to give a competitive advantage to the HR and the organization. These added skills & competencies will enable the HR department in playing proactive & strategic partner role for helping the organization achieve its ultimate business goals and objectives. The primary objective of this book is to help to develop an understanding and appreciation of the role strategic human resource management has in a firm‘s success, along with knowledge of the basic functions of human resource management, current practices, and issues.

Important CT Findings for Prediction of Incomplete (R1 or R2) Resection and Poor Survival of Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma after Curative-Intent Surgery
Authors: Kang Hyo-Jin , Kim Jung Hoon , Joo Ijin , Chang Won
Published: July 2022

Purpose: To evaluate CT findings to predict incomplete (R1 or R2) resection and poor survival in patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma using pre-operative CT.Materials and Methods: From 2006 to 2012, a total of 139 patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma who underwent pre-operative multiphase CT and subsequent curative-intent surgery were included. After two radiologists independently reviewed CT findings including the likelihood of bile duct (BD) involvement from intrapancreatic common bile duct (CBD) to bilateral second-order branches and peritumoral fat stranding using a 5-point scale, vessel involvement (no, abutment, encasement), and LN involvement, imaging findings were finalized by a consensus of two radiologists. When the likelihood scale of 4 or more on preoperative CT was regarded as BD involvement, the diagnostic ability of CT was analyzed by the receiver operating curve using histopathologic results as a reference standard. Residual tumor categorized into no residual tumor (R0) and residual tumor (R+; R1 or R2). Predictive factors of R+ resection on pre-operative CT were analyzed by logistic regression. Cox proportional hazard model was used to determine the prognostic factor for overall survival by using pre-operative CT findings and laboratory results.Results: Seventy-one patients were R0 and sixty-eight patients were R+ resection. For resectability evaluation, mid-CBD involvement (score ≥ 4) in pre-operative CT was significant factor for R+ resection in multivariable analysis (P < 0.01) with substantial interobserver agreement. In multivariable Cox regression, intrapancreatic CBD involvement (score ≥ 4, hazard ratio [HR] = 1.81, P < 0.01) as well as elevated total bilirubin (HR = 1.53, P = 0.04) and CA 19-9 level (HR = 1.75, P < 0.01) were significant predictors for poor survival. Diagnostic ability to predict mid-CBD and intrapancreatic CBD involvement on pre-operative CT were 0.71 and 0.72 (AUC values).Conclusions: Distal longitudinal extent of perihilar cancer on pre-operative CT is a significant factor for margin positive resection and poor survival on curative-intent surgery.

Authors: Menon Sheila , Bhagat Vidya
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Depression is of global concern to clinicians, researchers and governments. This study seeks to review the benefits of including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) as an adjunctive treatment with antidepressants and to explore the role that physical exercise can offer as a treatment for depression. There is considerable literature available on the use of antidepressants with and without CBT. Various neurological studies have identified new roles which suggest the effectiveness of physical exercise as a supportive treatment against depressive symptoms. The production of endorphins can lead to the development of new neuronal growth which may be helpful in the restructuring of neurocognition and thereby protecting against depressive symptoms. Purpose: Current review study aims at scoping the efficacy of antidepressants with CBT and insightful neurocognitive views on the way physical exercise can restructure the cognition of depressive patients which would make the treatment more effective. Method: This literature review study engine proceeds by scoping 72 articles from the previous literature studies and medical news using electronic databases such as PubMed, Medical news, both clinical and the theoretical implications of these findings are discussed. The study also referred to other journals including Psych-INFO, NCBI, and CINAH from 2010 to 2022 which are analysed to draw insightful information concerning the use of antidepressants with CBT and physical exercises to increase the effective treatment for major depression. Conclusion: the current literature study evidences the enhanced efficacy of treatment for depression with CBT in the treatment of depression, its role in reducing relapse episodes of depression and residual symptoms and the efficacy of physical exercises in the treatment of depression. The implication of the study to place these findings in the larger context of treatment selection in managing residual symptoms, reducing the risk of relapse and neurocognitive changes through physical exercise in major depressive disorder (MDD).
Functionalization and Polymer Coating – Strategies to improve Drug Delivery from Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles
Authors: P Kovachev
Published: July 2022

The mesoporous silica particles (MSNs) have been investigated as potential drug delivery carriers. They have an extensive surface area and pore volume. Many silanol groups are located along the particles' entire outer and inner surfaces. They make it possible to create bonds or interactions between the drug molecules and the carrier. Still, They are also an extremely suitable basis for further functionalization of the particle and pore surface. This review examines how the functionalization of MSNs, on the one hand, allows more successful loading of active substances into their pores and, on the other hand, successfully controls their release. Upon loading sparingly soluble drugs, an improvement in their solubility was found, most likely by amorphization, obtained after crystallization of the problem substance in the delicate pores of these specific carriers. The synthesis of some types of silicate carriers is a method for improving the loading of the particles with active substances is confirmed.

Published: July 2022

Virus-Like Particles (VLP) mimics virions immunologically which induces high titers of neutralizing antibodies to conformational epitopes due to the high-density display of epitopes, present multiple proteins which are optimal for uptake by dendritic cells and are assembled in vivo. VLP triggers the immune response of the body against the diseases and is broadly two types like non enveloped VLP’s and Enveloped VLP’s. The present review discusses the production, analysis, and mechanism of action of virus-like particles. Various applications, the Indian Scenario of VLP, Limitations, and future scopes are briefly reviewed and discussed. VLPs imitate authentic viruses in antigenic morphology and offer a stable alternative to attenuated and inactivated viruses in the production of vaccines. It can effectively deliver foreign nucleic acids, proteins, or conjugated compounds to the system, or even to particular types of cells, due to their transducing properties. It retains the ability to infiltrate and render cells useful for a wide range of applications. Used as a tool to increase the immunogenicity of poorly immunogenic antigens, VLP therapeutics can be developed and manufactured in a way that would be sufficiently cheap to be seen globally in many countries. The ability to mass-produce them cost-effectively improves their possibility of being introduced to undeveloped countries.

Published: July 2022

It has been almost thirty years since the first publication on microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) in 1993. MITF, which plays an important role in the melanogenesis process, is an interesting target for melanoma therapy, due to its associates with melanoma survival. MITF promotes melanoma cell proliferation, whereas the sustained suppression of MITF expression causes aging. MITF contributes to differentiation, which involves breaking out of the cell cycle and triggering a melanogenesis, and this function appears to often persist during melanoma development given the frequently observed high pigmented lesions, even in the late stages of melanoma. Several drugs that could inhibit MITF e.g. histone deacetylase inhibitors, such as sodium butyrate and trichostatin A, have been proven could suppress M-MITF expression in melanoma cells. H1-receptor antagonists, particularly loratadine, could downregulate MITF and tyrosinase in melanocytes. Some plants can inhibit MITF e.g Gentiana veitchiorum Hemsl., Thymelaea hirsuta, Argania spinosa L. In this review, we update the information about MITF and describe the mechanism of its inhibitors in preventing melanogenesis.

Present research work describes the successful development of inner transition metal ion complexation, magnetic susceptibility study, thermodynamic parameters and biological applications of synthesized organic ligand. Stability constant Order of developed metal complexes of N-[-(4-chlorophenyl) methylene] isonicotinohydrazide was found as follows La(III) > Ce(III) > Sm(III). Positive μeff clearly indicates paramagnetic nature of developed complexes. During thermodynamic parameter examination we found stability constants for complexes decrease with an increasing temperature, indicating that the composition equilibrium is exothermic in nature. Also ΔH and ΔG were negative for all of the systems which suggested that all of the reactions were exothermic. The ΔS found positive for most of the complexes which indicate in metal-ligand binding process is entropy favourable. In antimicrobial evaluation, we observed that Sm+3 metal complexes of (N-[(E)-(4-chlorophenyl) methylene] isonicotinohydrazde) exhibit superior property specifically against gram negative bacteria with respect to organic ligand.

Can we all afford enough wholesome, nutri­tious, sustainably produced food to support healthy, active lives? The good news is, yes, we can afford enough good food, enough for everyone—today and in the future. The bad news is that many people will need to make some very different food choices. National and global food systems do not change very quickly or easily, but individuals can change their food choices. Changes in individual food choices can lead to changes in local food systems, and changes in local food systems can lead to changes in national and global food systems. . . .
SPEP Plenary Address
Authors: Honig Bonnie
Published: July 2022

In Frank Capra’s Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), Stanley Cavell says, the film camera, a “somatogram,” reads fits and fidgets as a post-Cartesian cogito of embodied thinking. Giorgio Agamben sees the cameras of motion studies at Salpêtrière in the 1880s as dehumanizing normalizers of gesture, but Georges Didi-Huberman claims that what they recorded as hysteria was solicited by them and sometimes refused. Which is it? Does the camera humanize, normalize, or solicit gesture? I consider the question with Anna Rose Holmer’s The Fits (2015). Like Mr. Deeds, The Fits foregrounds non-sovereign body movements, but its protagonist, Toni, agonistically engages the camera’s gaze, extracting from it the respect she deserves. I argue that Toni may be seen as responding to Salpêtrière, and also to Thomas Eakins, in whose attic, in the 1880s, a young Black girl was photographed naked, on a couch. Is her stare a refusal of the white gaze or a coerced pose? Toni’s own stare suggests she avenges such historic wrongs in acts of cinematic agonism. In The Fits, the camera that might have been Toni’s reader/partner (Cavell), betrayer (Agamben), or groomer (Didi-Huberman) becomes a mystical mechanism of remediation and Toni, the ghost in its machine.
The Dred Scott Ontology and the Philosophical Significance of Slave Narratives
Authors: Muller Robin M.
Published: July 2022

Framed by a critical assessment of R. M. Hare’s classic paper “What Is Wrong With Slavery?,” this article argues that traditional forms of philosophical analysis miss chattel slavery’s specifically racialized harm. A crucial reason is the failure to attend to how slavery was experienced by those who were enslaved. To remedy this neglect, and adapting Calvin Warren’s reading of the Dred Scott decision, I show that slave narratives are rich philosophical resources for thinking about the existential reality of enslavement and that they anticipate later insights from the Afro-pessimist and Black nihilist traditions. I conclude by showing how these insights construe the harm of chattel slavery in ways that are inexpressible through the kinds of traditional philosophical sense-making that Hare pursues.
A Phenomenology of the Work of Attention
Authors: Jacobs Hanne
Published: July 2022

With the aim of showing what it takes to see the world and others as they are, this article provides a phenomenological account of what Iris Murdoch has memorably called “the work of attention.” I first show that Aron Gurwitsch’s analyses of attention provide a basis on which to reject a voluntaristic account of attention according to which seeing things as they are is as simple as directing one’s attention to something. Then, in order to elucidate the work that is involved in paying attention, I draw on Edmund Husserl’s descriptions of the activity characteristic of attentive consciousness. I then show how a Husserlian account of the work of attention can help make sense of Murdoch’s pessimistic claim that our consciousness is not “a transparent glass through which it views the world” while also indicating how we, by paying attention, can do better.

Published: July 2022

The mathematical dependence of the integral dielectric constant of transformer oil on its humidity is obtained. It is shown that the increase in humidity in the range from 0% to 0.5%, which corresponds to its allowable change, is accompanied by a monotonic increase in the integral dielectric constant along the nonlinear dependence. The design of a high-frequency humidity sensor in the form of a band asymmetric waveguide is proposed, which transforms the latter into a phase shift of the information wave. The mathematical model is developed and the transformation equation is obtained. It has been experimentally established that the total relative error, which consists of the error of this model, the instrumental error of the hard-ware and the subjective error of removing the measured information does not exceed 2%. The article is devoted to solving the problem of reliability of technological equipment and is part of an interdisciplinary study on the development of a set of energy efficient equipment for feed preparation, which is performed on the basis of laboratories of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University.

The long-range wide area network (LoRaWAN) has been widely used for sensor networks, including smart meter (SM). The SM can report power consumption to the control center automatically via a communication link. An antenna is a key component to indicate an effective communication system. The microstrip antenna (MSA) works based on the unidirectional radiation pattern. The advantages of MSA are its light weight, small size, and ability to be easily etched on a print circuit board. These advantages are needed for the SM communication because SMs are installed on electric poles that have limited space. In this pa- per, we implement the MSA for SM communication on LoRaWAN technology that operates at a frequency of 920–925 MHz in Thailand. The proposed MSA is used to design a new path loss model for LoRaWAN in urban areas. Results show that our MSA is effectively close to commercial antennas in a 2.2 km range, with the packet delivery ratio reaching 52.93%. We analyze the results by using a mathematical equation that includes the free space model, the Okumura–Hata model, root mean squared error, and coefficient of determination.
Direct Torque Control of Induction Motor with Stator Flux Estimation Based on an Improved Voltage Model

Published: July 2022

Using sensors to measure the stator flux for induction motor presents many drawbacks such as far less reliability, noisy signals, vibration, and additional cost. Thus, it is essential to synthesize an estimator (also called a software sensor) allowing to replace the hardware sensor, for the flux estimation. In general, this estimation is done by integrating the back electromotive force (EMF) of the stator. However, the presence of the pure integrator presents problems due to the inevitable DC component and the initial condition error in the back EMF. To overcome these problems, a low pass filter has been used in the literature. Nevertheless, this solution does not solve the problem of undesirable high-frequency noise, especially at low speed. In this paper, we present a solution to improve the stator flux estimator by proposing a fractional or- der integrator to estimate the flux at low speed. This solution does not require any hardware device; it involves low calculation time and provides accurate practical results. The proposed solution has been implemented using the dSPACE 1104 platform.

Authors: Stecher Lucía , Zapata Claudia
Published: July 2022

This article analyzes the work of feminist theorist and cultural critic bell hooks, paying special attention to the place of individual and collective experience in her intellectual project. In this project, the production of knowledge attends to the experiences of the author and the black communities in which she grew up, which in turn are re-signified in the light of the theories developed by hooks and other exponents of black feminism. For hooks, attending to experience is also a powerful pedagogical strategy for the development of critical and transformative thinking. This article analyzes hooks’ essays, especially the texts that highlight the links between experience and theorizing. The trajectory and intellectual production of hooks is read in the context of radical black feminism that takes shape in the 1960s and 1970s.

Ключовою ціллю кліматичної політики держави визначено скорочення викидів парникових газів на 65 % до 2030 р., заплановано не пізніше 2060 р. досягти кліматичної нейтральності. Упровадження ЄЗК для України має широкі перспективи для ефективної роботи багатьох секторів економіки, включно з енергетикою, транспортом, енергоефективністю, ресурсоефективним будівництвом та реконструкцією будівель, енергоефективністю теплопостачання. З огляду на важливість ринку ЄС для українського експорту, запобігання створенню нових торговельних бар’єрів для українських товарів, зокрема у спосіб вуглецевого коригування імпорту, має стати одним з пріоритетів взаємодії України з ЄС у рамках реалізації ЄЗК.

Published: July 2022

Cytochrome p450 3A4 polymorphism at CYP3A4*22 has become clinically significant due to its role in metabolizing various drugs. Therefore, in this study we established the frequency of CYP3A4*22 variant in Indian population. The allele frequency distribution was determined in 350 healthy subjects of Indian origin by Real time polymerase chain reaction method. We found that 97% of subjects has AA variant and 3% subjects has AG variant of CYP3A4*22. We did not find any homozygous minor allele AA variant. However, studies conducted in other population also did not show any homologous minor allele with exception to Belgium.  The p-value of Hardy Weinberg equilibrium is observed as 0.9, which was calculated using the chi-square model. This study shows significant difference in the distribution of allelic variants of CYP3A4*22 among various ethnicities. Therefore, the study results may provide an insight in genotype distribution of the CYP3A4*22 in Indian population for further studies.
