Inter- and intralingual transfer in primary school students’ written production in their L3
Authors: Chłopek Zofia
Published: December 2020

The paper presents the results of a preliminary research study of inter- and intralingual transfer in young learners’ written production in their L3. The research was conducted with Polish-speaking primary school pupils with two foreign languages, L2 English and L3 German. The analysis of the participants’ errors indicates that all languages of a third language learner may participate in transfer processes. The language areas most affected by transfer are orthography, morphology and lexis. The observed errors point to the gradually developing meta- and cross-linguistic awareness of young learners, as well as their perception of the typological distance between their languages.
Rezeptionssignale beim Prüfungsgespräch aus sprechwissenschaftlicher Sicht
Authors: Rogozińska Marta
Published: December 2020

The article aims to describe the reception signals present in the German exam interview from the spoken communication point of view. Short (one- and two-syllable) feedback signals will be analysed, which represent the examiner’s attitude towards the statement heard. More specifically, the forms are “ja”, “hm_hm” and “hm”, which, depending on the prosodic implementation, may have different interactive functions. The analysis will take into account acoustic-auditive parameters: fundamental frequency/pitch, intensity/volume and duration/length. On this basis, four types of reception signals have been identified: confirmatory signals, signals of interest, signals encouraging to continue speaking, and perceptual signals. It has been shown that, depending on their phonetic realisation, the same signal can perform several different communication functions, and that individual signals have a similar phonetic form depending on their function during the exam interview.
Seroprevalência de Anticorpos Contra o Sarampo em Profissionais de Saúde de um Hospital Central em Portugal
Authors: Navarro Morales Gary , Shapovalova Olena , Sacadura-Leite Ema
Published: December 2020

Introdução: A imunidade contra o sarampo poderá resultar do contacto anterior com o vírus ou da vacinação. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a prevalência de imunidade contra o sarampo em profissionais de saúde de um hospital central.Material e Métodos: Estudo retrospetivo com caraterização dos resultados do doseamento de imunoglobulina G (IgG) específica contra o sarampo em profissionais de saúde, entre maio de 2010 e março de 2018.Resultados: Analisaram-se os resultados de 1339 trabalhadores, média de idades 39,3 ± 10,11 anos, 71,1% mulheres. A prevalência de IgG positiva foi de 81,5%, mais elevada entre os profissionais nas faixas etárias dos 40 aos 49 e mais de 50 anos (91,9% e 94,6% respetivamente). Por sua vez, 83,1% dos profissionais com IgG negativa ou equívoca tinham maioritariamente idades inferiores a 40 anos (p < 0,05).Discussão: Verificou-se que a prevalência de profissionais imunes ao sarampo foi mais baixa que noutros estudos, podendo, contudo, esse resultado dever-se a diferenças entre as caraterísticas das amostras estudadas. Foi encontrada uma maior suscetibilidade ao sarampo em profissionais nas faixas etárias inferiores. Estes resultados podem refletir uma baixa cobertura vacinal nesta faixa etária, um esquema de vacinação incompleto, ou a possibilidade dos profissionais mais velhos terem tido a doença, o que contribuíu para uma resposta imunitária com níveis de IgG mais elevados.Conclusão: Conhecer a prevalência de profissionais suscetíveis ao sarampo, permitiu definir estratégias de prevenção face aos surtos que possam vir a acontecer. A vacinação continua a ser a melhor medida preventiva, uma terceira dose de vacina poderá vir a ser equacionada em determinados contextos epidemiológicos, especialmente nos profissionais expostos mais jovens.
How Integrating Aboriginal Perspectives into the Classroom Affects Students Attitudes Towards Aboriginal People
Authors: Prete Tiffany
Published: December 2020

This paper explores the methods employed by Alberta Education to teach Alberta students about the Indigenous Peoples of Canada. Currently, Alberta Education has two approaches, which are: 1) the integration of the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit Policy Framework (FNMI), which is a framework that is a means to educate all Albertans on the history of Aboriginal Peoples, and 2) an optional Aboriginal Studies coursework. An urban high school participated in this research study, which was under the call for the integration of the FNMI policy framework and also offered Aboriginal Studies 10. I used a Blackfoot theoretical framework, grounded in an Indigenous research methodology, alongside principles of the Beadworking paradigm to conduct the research. I employed a survey that was quantitative in nature to determine students’ attitudes towards the Indigenous Peoples of Canada. I was interested in identifying whether taking Aboriginal Studies 10 made a difference in the participants’ views of Indigenous Peoples. I used principal-component factor analysis and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to analyze the data. The results from the MANOVA analysis indicate that the Aboriginal Studies 10 class plays a role in students’ perceptions of Indigenous Peoples specifically. These results indicate that students who participated in the Aboriginal Studies 10 course had a more positive view of Indigenous Peoples than students who did not participate in Aboriginal Studies 10.

Published: December 2020

O presente artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre os efeitos de sentidos do discurso digital para a produção do texto enquanto recurso expográfico, mas também refletir sobre a relação entre sujeito-leitor e a obra exposta, considerando o modo de textualização do discurso expográfico. Para tanto, a proposta é analisar a aba “Como navegar” do site do projeto Era Virtual, um projeto que tem como objetivo divulgar e ampliar o acesso a museus brasileiros por meio de visitas virtuais. Da perspectiva da Análise de Discurso, irei observar as marcas daquilo que considero a textualidade expográfica digital, nesse site. O ponto de partida para a análise é questionar como o discurso digital significa a textualidade expográfica numa outra materialidade, significada por outra natureza de memória e de espaço, que é a materialidade digital.
lei de promoções do Exército Brasileiro de 1850
Authors: Silva Daniela Marques da
Published: December 2020

A lei de promoções do Exército de 1850 é considerada, pela literatura especializada, como a primeira tentativa de profissionalizar o corpo de oficiais do Exército brasileiro – ainda no século XIX. Cabe lembrar que, até 1850, o sistema de promoções não seguia um conjunto de requisitos mínimos. A lei de promoções estabeleceu critérios, e indicou a passagem pela então Escola Militar como obrigatoriedade para algumas armas do Exército. Assim, o artigo objetiva abordar a lei de promoções de 1850 em uma perspectiva ampla. Perspectiva essa que vê a lei como integrante de um conjunto de reformas empreendidas pelos conservadores durante as décadas de 1840 e 1850. Além disso, busca analisar a relação entre a lei e as mudanças na Escola Militar.

Pretendemos neste artigo refletir sobre a relação que se estabelece entre o campo normativo-jurídico e a infrapenalidade disciplinar própria das casernas. Assim, através de uma pesquisa qualitativa de caráter bibliográfico, nosso argumento se sustenta por meio de uma discussão teórica sobre a criação e desenvolvimento da Justiça Militar no Brasil. Por fim, nossa intenção foi mostrar que as características das instituições disciplinares, assim como estudadas por Foucault, estão presentes no contexto do ordenamento penal castrense a partir de uma organização que se constituiu historicamente, ensejando a força da norma disciplinar em relação ao Direito normativo em nosso país, o que denominamos de um militarismo jurídico.
Soldados privados na América Latina
Authors: Deu Marianna Braghini Deus
Published: December 2020

O avanço do neoliberalismo trouxe consigo tendências de racionalização das atividades empresariais, tipicamente pós-fordistas, manifestas no setor de Defesa, denominadas enquanto outsourcing militar, em que a busca por empresas militares e de segurança privadas para suporte à operações militares foi consolidada no mundo ocidental no reordenamento de aparatos bélicos estatais. A proposta do presente artigo é analisar o impacto deste outsourcing militar na América Latina e Central, onde empresas do setor se enraizaram a partir da década de 1990 e até os dias atuais encontram oportunidades de trabalho diversas, além de uma base local de mão de obra. O artigo conta com três sessões principais. Primeiramente, apresenta as condições que impulsionaram a reconfiguração estratégica dos aparatos militares com esta espécie de “terceirização” das atividades de forças armadas nacionais. A segunda seção tece comentários acerca destes agentes corporativos no cenário de segurança internacional. A terceira seção é dedicada a evidenciar os aspectos que possibilitaram a proliferação destas empresas na América Latina e Central, descrevendo as principais atividades conduzidas no continente nos anos 2000, utilizando, para tal, documentos do órgão da ONU responsável pelo monitoramento de empresas do setor.

Sufficiency of industrial enterprises with production and labor resources: consequences of deviation from the “perfect balance”
Authors: Batyaeva A.
Published: December 2020

The article deals with one of the aspects of adaptation of industrial enterprises to demand: sufficiency of existing production capacities and labor for the annual demand. We used a group of manufacturers whose capacity and labor force were in full correspondence with demand as the base for a comparison. This "ideal" group was compared with others who had an excessive or insufficient volume of the first or second resource in various combinations. In total, nine groups of enterprises were examined. As a result of the analysis, the following conclusions were made. For almost 30 years of observations, the share of enterprises whose capacity and labor met the demand has doubled and exceeded 60%. This group had the biggest share of financially successful enterprises. Over time, lack or excess of resources costs more for enterprises, and the surplus of labor resources has been particularly harmful.

Authors: Asdar Muhammad
Published: December 2020

Macadamia hildebrandii Steen is endemic species of Sulawesi. This species is found in the provinces of South Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi. Macadamia wood has a distinctive feature that has the prospect of being a raw material for furniture. Meanwhile, the fruit has not been utilized. This paper is a review of wood and macadamia nuts properties that have been studied. The results of these studies show that wood and nuts have the following characteristics: larger rays commonly more than 10 seriate so that it is clearly visible on tangential/flat-sawn boards; classified as strength class III-II; high cellulose contents with alpha cellulose more than 42%; wood calorific value 4,363.5 cal/gr, charcoal calorific value 6868 cal /gr, volatile matter 14.04%, ash 1.36% and fixed carbon 84.60%; durability class IV against soil termites, class II against dry wood termites, and class III-II against decaying fungi; the quality of shaping, turning, boring, and sanding was classified as good (class II), while planing was classified as very good (class I); easily preserved; and easily cracked when dried. Macadamia wood can be used as raw materials for pulp and paper, rayon, charcoal, activated charcoal, light to heavy construction under the roof, furniture, and molding. The use of macadamia wood must consider its low dimensional stability. Macadamia nuts have a fat content of 1.96%, protein 8.38%, carbohydrates 48.44%, starch 46.44%, and tannins up to 8.42%. Proper processing techniques are needed, especially to reduce tannin levels so that macadamia nuts can be consumed.

Clinical and Pathological Correlation between SARS-CoV-2 Infection with Coexisting Health Conditions: A Review
Authors: Saha Rituparna , Mukhopadhyay Mainak , Bhattacharya Debalina
Published: December 2020

Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought the world to a standstill with the infected cases surpassing millions. The causative agent of COVID-19, the SARS-CoV-2 is a novel coronavirus that emerged from the wet animal market in Wuhan, China in early December 2019. Soon after, human-to-human transmission increased the rate of infection making the disease widespread with new hotspots emerging around the world.The epidemiological reports based on clinical characteristics including age, gender, symptoms (both severe and non-severe), and the conditions requiring intensive medical care, along with case fatality revealed that people with co-existing health conditions like diabetes, hypertension, cigarette smoking, and others with cardiovascular and kidney diseases were more susceptible to COVID-19 infection with poor prognosis in cases related to the severity of symptoms and requiring ICU, medical ventilators with a high fatality rate. Even people with immunosuppressed conditions like HIV and cancer, alongwith old age and pregnant women are vulnerable to COVID-19 infection and can cause severe health complications.It is extremely important to have a comprehensive idea of the underlying pathophysiology related to these health conditions which makes them more susceptible to contract SARS-CoV-2 infection in correlation with the development of severe symptoms. This review will provide an extensive viewpoint related to COVID-19 patients having coexisting health conditions together with the association between the prognosis of the disease and the pathogenesis of the SARS-CoV-2 infection, based on the current information available.

Introduction. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal disorder in reproductive-age women. The condition is characterised by the replacement of a healthy, lactobacilli-dominated vaginal microbiota by anaerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria. BV increases the risk of acquisition of STIs and is associated with pregnancy complications. Although the composition of the bacteria in BV varies between individuals, there are some species such as Gardnerella, Atopobium, Mycoplasma, Snethia, Megasphera, Dialister, etc., that are found most frequently. Material and methods. Literature research to the importance of Atopobium vaginae in BV and treatment options. Results. Atopobium (A.) vaginae is an important component of the complex abnormal vaginal flora in BV; even though A. vaginae, like Gardnerella vaginalis, has also been detected in the normal flora, it is much more common in BV patients. A. vaginae has been shown to play an important role in the pathophysiology of BV and is thought to be at least a partial cause of the known negative sequelae. The presence of A. vaginae in the BV-associated biofilms and its resistance to some antimicrobial substances has been described – this seems to have a major impact on treatment outcome. Conclusion. Current scientific data demonstrate that dequalinium chloride (Fluomycin®) is one of the valid therapeutic options for BV treatment, since it displays a broad antimicrobial spectrum against relevant vaginal pathogens, especially against G. vaginalis and A. vaginae, without having safety concerns. Key words: Bacterial vaginosis, Bacterial biofilm, Atopobium vaginae, Metronidazole, Clindamycin, Dequalinium chloride, Microbial resistance

The review analyses the results of using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to restore fertility. Research works have shown that MSCs have the ability to differentiate into empryonic cells under specific induction conditions, and also when transplanted to gonadal tissue. Most studies were performed on MSCs obtained from bone marrow and the umbilical cord. Promising approaches related to the use of cell therapy have shown their high efficacy in preclinical studies: the infertility models in rats, mice and rabbits resulted in pregnancy after cell therapy. Research in this field is intensive: by now there is information about 11 preclinical and 12 clinical studies. The first results of clinical studies are positive. Clinical studies have been planned and started to determine the effect of MSCs transplantation on management of infertility, and their results, among others, will be decisive for introduction of cell therapy of infertility into clinical practice. The findings are promising, but further clinical research is needed to assess the efficacy and safety of MSCs transplantation for fertility restoration.

Aspects of ultrasound diagnostics of extratubal forms of ectopic pregnancy are presented from the standpoint of choosing the optimal treatment tactics for patients, aimed primarily at minimiz-ing surgical procedures. The issues of diagnostics of cervical pregnancy, caesarean scar preg-nancy, ovarian pregnancy, as well as a rare indication of tubal pregnancy – interstitial pregnancy are detailed. In most cases, echography is not only decisive, but, in fact, the only method of pre-operative diagnosis. In this case, color Doppler mapping of blood flow in the vessels of the ec-topic trophoblast is of great importance, which makes it possible to assess the degree of its inva-sion and, thereby, to make adjustments to the surgical tactics. The emphasis is made on the role of rehabilitation treatment. Key words: ectopic pregnancy, extratubar forms, ultrasound diagnostics, treatment tactics, re-habilitation therapy
Teoría de la compasión y la comunicación para la integración y la paz: una revisión teórica
Authors: García-Díaz Ana
Published: December 2020

El presente artículo busca promocionar la importancia de distintos modelos comunicativos a la hora de crear ambientes de aula integradores. Con este propósito se presenta una revisión bibliográfica de distintos conceptos relacionados con el acto comunicativo —verbal y no verbal— en el ámbito de la educación para la paz y la integración, con lo que se muestra la importancia del estilo comunicativo a fin de lograr buenos resultados en la creación de aulas pacíficas e integradoras. Esta revisión culmina con la presentación de la teoría de la compasión, en la que se expone una aproximación a las actitudes de pena y compasión que suelen darse, tradicionalmente, en situaciones de «ayuda» a la integración. Se muestra, pues, cómo la compasión y la pena colocan al integrado en situación de inferioridad, de manera que promueven la desigualdad, por lo que, resulta importante concluir que el papel del docente como mediador en situaciones de implantación y normalización de la diversidad supone que sea consciente de la motivación de sus actitudes y el uso de sus palabras, ya que será tanto la motivación tras su actitud como su lenguaje no verbal, así como su estilo comunicativo verbal, los que sentarán las bases para crear un ambiente en el que la integración pueda materializarse en busca de la independencia del individuo y no de la «ayuda».
Geometrically Calibrated Network Models for Progressive Cavity Pump Design
Authors: Simon Kevin , Slocum Alexander H.
Published: December 2020

Linear network models are promisingly simple progressive cavity pump design tools. Current linear network models are difficult to use in the design process because they require calibration against experimental data or computationally intensive simulation. In this paper we present new approaches for implementing linear network progressive cavity pump models and provide new methods to accurately and quickly estimate the values of each resistor in the model from pump geometry for both laminar and turbulent flows. This paper also argues that sealing-line flow transitions from laminar to turbulent at orders of magnitude smaller Reynolds numbers than described in the literature thus far. We propose a new hypothesis for the point of transition to turbulent performance.
Modeling Cuttings Transport without Drillpipe Rotation While Using the Concepts of Static and Dynamic Yield Stresses
Authors: Gulraiz Shiraz , Gray K. E.
Published: December 2020

Cuttings transport, in connection with drilling fluid rheology, has been extensively studied in the literature. Despite this, contradictory results continue to be reported regarding the effect of yield stress on cuttings transport. This study uses the concepts of static and dynamic yield stresses to investigate the effects of yield stress on cuttings transport. A modified form of an existing rheological function is proposed to model static and dynamic yield stresses while incorporating flow history. Flow equations are based on the mixture approach and are numerically solved using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodology. Assuming that the liquid phase is homogenous and drill cuttings are noncolloidal, it is shown that the distinction between static and dynamic yield stresses diminishes as volumetric cuttings concentration increases. The Herschel-Bulkley function predicts infinite viscosity at the limit of zero shear rate and, hence, improved cuttings transport with increasing dynamic yield stress, whereas in line with the majority of experimental studies, the proposed rheological model shows that high dynamic yield stress is detrimental for cuttings transport. Comparing fluids with the same dynamic yield stress, the fluid with a larger difference between static and dynamic yield stresses has better cuttings carrying capacity. However, these results are only valid for simple yield stress fluids in which yield stress is dependent on shear rate only.

Introduction: To analyze the risk factors for the progression to severe sepsis,or septic shock,in pre-hospital patients with urolith Induced obstructive urosepsis, so as to facilitate the early identification of high-risk patients.Materials and Methods: Datas were retrospectively reviewed from 160 patients of urolith induced obstructive urosepsis between December 2013 and December 2019. There were 49 patients complicated by severe sepsis (severe sepsis group), 12 patients with septic shock (septic shock group), and 99 patients without progression to severe sepsis or septic shock (sepsis group). The data covered age, gender, BMI , time interval from ED to admission, WBC count, NLR, HGB, etc. Datas were analyzed by univariate analyses and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results: Univariate analysis showed that the differences of age, the time interval from ED to admission, history of diabetes mellitus, history of CKI, NLR, HGB, platelet count, TBil, SCr, ALB, PT, APTT, INR, PCT, and positive rate of pathogens in blood culture were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, SCr, and history of CKI were independent risk factors for progression to severe sepsis, or septic shock (P < 0.05).Conclusions: Aged ≥ 65 years, SCr ≥ 248 mol/L, and history of CKI were independent risk factors for progression to severe sepsis, or septic shock, in patients with urolith induced obstructive urosepsis. The key to prevent urosepsis from progression is to improve our understanding of disease dynamics, control the risk factors, and intervene the pre-hospital patients with multidisciplinary modalities as early as possible.

Background: To examine the effect of spiritual counseling on the quality of life (QoL) of women with the first time pregnancy.Methods: This randomized control trial was carried out on 60 pregnant women who recruited at two childbirth preparation centers of Zanjan (Iran) in 2018. The eligible women were allocated into two intervention and control groups according to the 4-block design. The spiritual counseling was carried out in eight sessions, two times per week at 20 -32 weeks of gestation. The control group only received routine cares. The quality of life were measured before and two months after intervention.Results: Overall in pre intervention phase, the quality of life did not show a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p>0.05). In Post the intervention, the overall QoL showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p<0.05). But the physical functioning, body pain, and social functioning domains were not statistically significant (p>0.05). According to the linear regression, the risk of poor quality of life in the intervention group was 0.78 times less than of the control group (p= 0.0001).Conclusion: Spiritual counseling had a positive impact on improving of QoL in the first time pregnant women. The integration of spiritual counseling in the childbirth education package could be improved the psychological aspect of quality of life more than the physical aspect of quality of life. It can be considered used by healthcare providers for planning childbirth interventions.Trial registration: The study was registered at the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials under the number IRCT20150731023423N12 , 2018-11-06

Background: Saudi Arabia aims to affirm the basic human rights for all its citizens. The medical students need to be aware about globally recognized rights in their study and career. Only few studies have measured the knowledge of medical students about public health rights (PBR) in Saudi Arabia. The present study aims to assess the current knowledge of medical students in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia concerning health empowerment issues and health rights. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia among the medical students of Ibn Sina National College (ISNC), Batterjee Medical College (BMC), King Abdul-Aziz University (KAU) and King Saud bin Abdul-Aziz University (KSAUHS) Jeddah branch, between July and August 2020. Questionnaire was used to collect demographic data, along with knowledge of the rights of female patients, laws and rights of patients with disabilities, special needs and senility, reproductive health rights, and health rights of cancer patients. The data were analyzed using statistical package of social science (SPSS) version 25. Results: Of the 393 participants, 58.3% were females and 41.7% were males. Regarding consent, 72.3% and 65.1% of the participants responded that a male guardian was not required to give consent for hospital admission and discharge, respectively, and only 46.1% knew that a female patient could provide consent for a caesarean section. Only 51.7% of the students were aware about Saudi Arabian health rights including the disabled individuals; while, 44.0% did not know. About half (53.2%) knew that that special needs patients have health rights, and 25.2% believed that abortion is never allowed in Islam. Concerning the woman’s right to attain contraception, 51.1% stated that the consent was not required; while, 25.7% responded that consent from a male guardian/partner is first required. Approximately half (49.6%) were aware that cancer patients have the right to free medical treatment, and 52.9% knew that cancer patients have the right to free surgical treatment. Conclusions: The knowledge of medical students regarding health rights of certain patient populations was not satisfactory in Saudi Arabia, which highlights the importance of health rights education in medical school.

Published: December 2020

Background: Nursing homes (NH) residents with COVID-19 can either be tested because of presence of core symptoms (fever, cough, dyspnea) (S-based) or because of transmission prevention (TP-based). We described the clinical presentation and course of COVID-19 in NH residents who were tested either because of presence of core symptoms (S-based) or because of transmission prevention (TP-based).Methods:. XXX (XXX), is a 1185-bed NH. All NH residents who underwent SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR testing between March 16, 2020 and May 31, 2020 were included (n = 380) in this retrospective cohort study. Clinical symptoms, temperature and oxygen saturation were extracted from medical records, 7 days before testing up to 14 days after testing.Results: SARS-CoV-2 was confirmed in 81 (21%) residents. Of these 81, 36 (44%) residents were tested S-based and 45 (56%) residents were tested TP-based. Yet, CT-values did not differ between the groups. In the 7 days prior to the test the most common symptoms in both groups were: falling (32%), somnolence (25%) and fatigue (21%). Two days before the test, we observed a stronger decrease in oxygen saturation and an increase in temperature for the S-based group compared to the T-based group that remained up to 10 days after testing. Residents with in the S-based group were 2.5 times more likely to decease within 30 days than residents in the TP-based group (HR, 2.56; 95% 1.3 to 5.2). Even though, 73% of the T-based group did eventually developed core symptoms.Conclusions: Many NH residents with a positive PCR did not have core symptoms when tested but had other signs/symptoms in the week before the positive test. Testing policies should therefore be adjusted to prevent transmission. Daily measures of temperature and oxygen saturation can contribute to earlier detection.

Background The basic objective of the study was to explore the inter-professional learning experience of clinical psychology and psychiatry residency students. Method The researchers used a cross-sectional research design. This study was conducted in Addis Ababa University, at the School of Medicine, in the College of Health Science, Department of Psychiatry where both clinical psychology and Psychiatry Residence programs are provided. Purposefully selected 9 participants; 5 clinical psychology and 4 psychiatry residents’ inter-professional learning experiences were explored. A descriptive qualitative study using thematic analysis was conducted. Data was obtained with semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically. Data collection and analysis were concurrent. Result The Result of the study indicated three themes and five sub-themes emerged from the data describing the experiences of clinical psychology and psychiatry students. The themes were: (a) IPE experience, (b) Factors affecting active participation, (c) Professional identity and IPE experience. Conclusion To conclude IPE experiences were various and resulted from an interaction of many factors. Despite the limitations, IPE experience provides many opportunities compared to Uni-professional learning experience. Inequality in professional status between participants negatively affects the IPE experience. Learning experiences require a balanced two-way interactive learning between participants. In the initial phase of IPE, participants need a clear role assignment with a formal objective to avoid confusion and frustration. Participating in IPE is not an easy performance - the experience opens many opportunities as well as has many challenges. Recommendation Finally, if implemented with a clear role assignment, significant supervision, and for the optimal duration of time IPE experience can help participants to develop their profession and guide them in their future work with other professionals.

Protein lysine acetylation (Kac) is an important post-translational modification present in both animal and plant cells. Here, we reported the results from a proteomic investigation of Kac in soybean leaves. We totally identified 3148 acetylation sites in 1538 proteins from three biological replicates, among 59 lysine acetylation sites in core histones, represents the largest acetylome dataset in plants to date. Gene Ontology (GO) functional analysis illustrated that most of the acetylated proteins involved in metabolic processes (include carboxylic acid metabolic process, oxoacid metabolic process, nucleoside metabolic process, nucleoside phosphate metabolic process, and ribose phosphate metabolic process). KEGG pathway enrichment showed Kac plays an important role in Photosynthesis, Carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms and Citrate cycle (TCA cycle). Meanwhile we also find a total of 17 conserved Kac motifs. All together, our study not only provides the first global and most extensive lysine acetylation analysis in soybean leaves, but also suggest that lysine acetylation is play an important and unique role in plants.
