Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the healthcare system, affecting physician wellbeing. The consequences of reduced time spent with patients at bedside during the pandemic has not been investigated. The objectives of this study include assessing time spent with patients, physician wellbeing and patient satisfaction before and during the pandemic.
Methods: A total of 182 internal medicine physicians used Hill-Rom tracking devices to measure time spent at bedside while on the teaching hospital medicine service between September 2019 and November 2020 at Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. Time spent before and after March 2020, the outbreak of the pandemic were compared. Physicians’ wellbeing was evaluated before and during the pandemic using the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education survey. Patients’ satisfaction was assessed via the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems questionnaire and correlated to bedside time.
Results: From 88,661 time records collected during the 65-week study, 44,710 (50.43%) met the quality standards and were included in the analysis. The average time spent at bedside per patient before and during the pandemic was 12.12 and 7.85 minutes, respectively. Time decreased by 3.33 minutes for interns, 6.10 minutes for residents, and 2.70 minutes for staff. The pandemic correlated with physicians’ decreased vitality and meaning in work. Patients’ satisfaction did not correlate with bedside time.
Conclusion: Internal medicine physicians spent less time with patients during the pandemic and had worsened vitality and satisfaction with work. Physicians’ time spent at bedside did not correlate with patients’ satisfaction.

Published: May 2024

Egg yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) is valuable against intestinal infections, however, its activity will be affected by the gastrointestinal fluid of livestock and poultry and the storage environment. Therefore, we prepared IgY-loaded sodium alginate/chitosan/sodium alginate microcapsules (IgY-loaded SA/CS/SA MCs), aiming to improve the poor tolerance of IgY in the gastrointestinal tract of livestock and poultry as well as the instability of its storage performance, so as to improve the performance of its application. In this experiment, IgY was used as the core material, and sodium alginate and chitosan were used as the wall material, and the preparation was carried out by the extrusion method. The results showed that the encapsulation efficiency of the prepared IgY-loaded SA/CS/SA MCs was highest (94.84%) when the IgY concentration was 200 mg/mL, the CS concentration was 0.8%, and the CS solution pH value was 5.0 (P<0.05). After freeze-drying, the shape of the MCs in group T1 was more regular, with an average particle size of 2.159 mm and the highest compressive strength (P<0.05). The stability of the T1 group in simulated gastric fluid (pH 2.0) was significantly enhanced compared to that of the NC, T2, and T3 groups (P<0.05), and the T3 group showed significantly improved antibacterial properties and increased alkalinephosphatase content compared to the T1 and T2 groups (P<0.05). In addition, IgY-loaded SA/CS/SA MCs were stored at room temperature (23±2°C) for 8 weeks, and the IgY activity in the T1 group was maintained at >70% (P<0.05). Therefore, the IgY-loaded SA/CS/SA MCs enhanced the tolerance and storage stability of IgY in simulated gastrointestinal fluids and showed significant inhibition of E. coli and SG in vitro.

Published: May 2024

In Pakistan, Sahiwal and Cholistani cattle are considered as dairy breeds with traits of disease resistance, heat tolerance, and adaptability to high temperature. These breeds are considered two different breeds although Sahiwal is considered an off shoot of Cholistani cattle. However, these breeds have never been characterized genotypically using SNP data. Moreover, information on genotypic differentiation is unavailable for other subcontinent red colored breeds i.e., Gir, Brahman and Red Sindhi. Thus, present study was meant to investigate distinctive genetic architect if any of these red color breeds of same region of the world. Genotype data of 50K SNP Bead chip was retrieved online from Dryad database. Quality control measures were performed in Plink 1.9 software. Admixture, Principal component analysis and Multidimensional scaling were used for breeds distinction while genetic diversity was estimated using linkage disequilibrium. The genetic structure of these breeds clearly differentiated them from each other performed by admixture analysis from K =2 to K =5. Similarly, all breeds principally differentially scattered in PCA and MDS results. The study revealed different genetic structure for Cholistani and Sahiwal indicating as distinct breeds while Brahman had mixed genetic architect of other Bos indicus subcontinent breeds. The findings of the current study stress for separate genetic improvement program of Sahiwal and Cholistani cattle.
Key words: Cholistani, Sahiwal, SNPs chip, Admixture, Pakistan.

Lagomorph ladders: Assessing a multi-host community and potential for spillover of rabbit hemorrhagic disease at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve
Authors: Peralta Airy , Ray Chris
Published: May 2024

Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus type 2 (RHDV2) has caused dramatic declines in rabbits and hares on several continents, with cascading effects on local ecology. Recent mortalities have been reported for several rabbit and hare species in the United States, suggesting broad susceptibility of lagomorphs. If this susceptibility extends to the American pika (Ochotona princeps), the most cold-adapted lagomorph, it could compound climate-mediated threats to this species. Due to climate change, American pikas are predicted to experience significant upslope range retraction during this century. Using an analogy borrowed from wildfire scenarios, other lagomorph species occurring at lower and mid-elevations could act as ?ladder fuels? to wick RHDV2 into high-elevation pika populations. To address this concern, we investigated spatial patterns of habitat use by pikas and other lagomorphs in Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve (GRSA), which borders several counties that have reported RHDV2.

In 2022, we surveyed 115 plots from a spatially balanced sample of pika habitats in the park, including 48 legacy plots from a pika survey conducted in 2010-2012. Pika detections at the plot level were paired with topographic and environmental indices to estimate minimum habitat occupancy and determine its covariates. Leporid (rabbit and hare) detections at these same plots were used to model presence using similar covariates and correcting for imperfect detection. Our best-supported models of pika and leporid presence were then used to estimate the probability of contact between these taxa within the park.

Our mean estimate of pika habitat occupancy was at least 95% during 2022 in GRSA, slightly higher than in 2010-2012, and effects of elevation and precipitation on pika occupancy were as expected from the previous study. Leporid presence at these same plots was 48% after correcting for imperfect detection. The best model of leporid presence supported a negative effect of elevation, in agreement with other studies of these taxa. The best pika and leporid models also included a positive effect of incoming solar radiation.

Finally, we used our best models of pika habitat occupancy and leporid presence within the park to map the potential for areas of contact and RHDV2 transmission between these taxa. Our results indicate some potential for contact within subalpine forests, Specifically in the northern half of the park near the lower reach of the Sand Creek Trail and in the far south just north of California Peak.

Published: May 2024

This study investigated the Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEoU), and availability of environmental print on teachers' Behavioural Intention (BI) to enhance emergent literacy skills in pre-primary schools in Tanzania. The study involved 103 pre-primary teachers in Shinyanga District Council. The study used the Technological Acceptance Model (TAM) to assess the influence of environmental print on teachers' behavioural Intention to enhance emergent literacy skills for pre-primary classes. The quantitative study involved a closed-ended questionnaire to gather information from pre-primary teachers regarding the influence of environmental print on pre-primary teachers' BI in enhancing emergent literacy skills.SPSS version 23 was used for data analysis. Before multiple regression computation, there were multiple regression prerequisite tests, namely, linearity of the relationship between independent and dependent variables, outliers and multicollinearity of predictor variables. Multiple regression showed that PEoU and availability of environmental print directly and PU indirectly influence teachers' perceived BI, which is inconsistent with the origin TAM. PEoU and the availability of environmental print influence teachers' BI to enhance emergent literacy skills. The indirect effect of PU may be owing to pre-primary teachers' inability to employ environmental print and teachers' workload. It is advisable to provide primary schools where pre-primary classes are attached with learning resources to assist in developing emergent literacy skills for pre-primary children

Published: May 2024

Introducción: La laparoscopia en la cirugía de la hernia ventral es una alternativa válida que disminuye significativamente la estancia hospitalaria. Sin embargo, su papel la cirugía mayor ambulatoria (CMA) es aún un tema de constante discusión.

A pesar de los avances técnicos y la presencia de cirujanos experimentados en este campo, la literatura es aún escasa y poco homogénea en cuanto a criterios de selección de pacientes subsidiarios de esta modalidad quirúrgica.

Implementacion de la laparoscopia en eventroplastia: Para su correcta implementación hay que tener en cuenta factores relacionados con el propio paciente (aspectos fisiológicos como la clasificación ASA, la edad o el IMC, aspectos psicológicos y aspectos sociales como buen apoyo familiar para optar a la CMA), como de la eventración (localización y tamaño de la eventración) y la intervención realizada (selección de la técnica, del material protésico y del método de fijación del mismo, protocolo de analgesia y prevención de vómitos y náuseas postoperatorias).

Conclusiones: La evidencia hasta hoy demuestra que la cirugía laparoscópica para la reparación de hernia ventral en régimen ambulatorio es una técnica segura, fiable y bien tolerada por pacientes seleccionados. El manejo del dolor postoperatorio es el principal factor limitante en estos casos.

Published: May 2024

Nowadays, the increasing use of plastic materials in friction and wear applications, particularly in industrial robotic grippers, is a growing trend in modern industry. Plastics are replacing traditional materials like metals and composites due to their unique properties and significant advantages. Plastic materials used in industrial robotic grippers offer several advantages, such as their low friction coefficient, enabling smooth and precise movement of the gripper and minimizing the risk of damaging the objects being manipulated. This paper presents a comparative study and analysis of the friction coefficient between various plastic materials and the C45 alloy steel, a superior alloy used in industrial applications. The investigated materials include PETG, PLA, PLA with aluminum, ABS, two types of TPU, and two types of UV-sensitive resins. This study aims to evaluate the friction performance of these materials in order to identify the most suitable options for friction and wear applications, such as industrial robotic grippers. To achieve this, dry kinetic friction tests were conducted between 3D printed plastic material samples manufactured by using FDM and SLA technologies, and the C45 alloy steel on the CETR UMT-2 tribometer. The friction coefficient was measured by recording the force required for displacement in two horizontal directions.

Published: May 2024

A study was conducted on SEBS-based composites granules containing different volume fractions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using a twin extruder and hot pressing procedure to produce a SEBS/CNTs membrane. SEM was used to study the membrane s morphology, revealing a 3-D network of CNTs. TGA was utilized to measure the degradation temperature of SEBS polymer and determine the actual volume fraction of CNTs. The mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, and cyclic strain sensing behavior of the SEBS/CNTs were investigated using a tensile testing machine and pico-ammeter. Mathematical models were used to fit the measured data, demonstrating the strain sensing potential of the composites. The composite membrane with 2 wt.% of CNTs exhibited superior electromagnetic wave absorption performance with a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) value. This study provides promising opportunities for the development of advanced materials.

Public health is a vital resource for the growth and life of a nation. One effort to improve health degrees is to improve environmental health. Environmental health is an important factor in social life, even being a determinant of the welfare of the population. Health is one of the essential human resources needed to sustain economic development. This is because health is a prerequisite to increasing productivity, so health and economics have a powerful influence on one another. Health affects the economy, with high public health levels, the productivity of human labor is also high. When comparing the welfare rates of various community groups, it is important to look at life expectancy and annual income levels. In countries with better health rates, the average live longer, which means they have a financial opportunity to earn more. According to kotabumi's rate of life expectancy  and  public  health,  it  is  concluded  that  the  region's  health  status  still  requires special attention.

Objetivo: O presente capítulo tem como objetivo analisar o protagonista Manuel Salviano do romance Assunção de Salviano, de Antonio Callado, relacionando sua conversão de ateu a religioso com a identidade da pós-modernidade, a qual é fluída. Métodos: A análise da pesquisa parte de uma metodologia comparatista, uma vez que propõe-se a comparar um texto literário em interação com outros textos das ciências sociais, os quais versam sobre identidade. Resultados: Os resultados da pesquisa apontam para a fluidez identitária do personagem, perpassando por todos os descentramentos de identidade propostos por Hall (2006). Além disso, categorizou-se o personagem como esférico e não como plano, em razão de que ele revela ideais contraditórios e mudanças de comportamento e de opiniões, os quais o tornam complexo. Conclusão: Concluiu-se que o personagem apresenta uma identidade mutável, assim como as identidades pós-modernas, já que ele modificou-se durante o percurso de sua vida literária em decorrência do panorama social que lhe cercou.
O POETA DAS COISAS: COMENTÁRIO DE JEAN-PAUL SARTRE SOBRE FRANCIS PONGE
Authors: Perius Cristiano
Published: May 2024

Tomando por fio condutor o ensaio de Jean-Paul Sartre sobre Francis Ponge, “O homem e as coisas”, publicado em Situações I, este artigo visa problematizar o lugar da poesia como “voz das coisas”, isto é, a tentativa de neutralização do para si em benefício do ser em si. Fundado na metáfora da “petrificação” poética, o efeito das imagens visa a renovação da linguagem a partir do contato originário entre as palavras e as coisas. Entre as iniciativas poéticas que merecem maior relevo, destaca-se a valorização da antilírica e a substantivação poética centrada no poder nominativo da linguagem. O exercício poético, porém, apesar de visar “as coisas mesmas” e o que Sartre chamou de “fenomenologia materialista”, tem seus limites na própria condição humana. Pela ação de projetar-se sobre as coisas o homem visa libertar a linguagem de uso pragmático e, ao mesmo tempo, pensar o objeto sem parti pris idealista.

Authors: SILVA Jr Mathias Batista , AZEVEDO NETO Joachin.
Published: May 2024

O presente trabalho visa analisar os aspectos lúdicos e narrativos do RPG e suas aplicabilidades para o ensino de história. Segundo o Historiador Huizinga (2000), o jogo provém da esfera sagrada, mágica e ritualística. Já para o filósofo Agamben (2007), a magia é o reflexo da própria felicidade na medida em que ela profana a realidade. O RPG do inglês Role-Playing Game, em contexto geral é um jogo de interpretação, no qual os jogadores devem incorporar um personagem de um mundo mágico, ritualístico e sistemático. Ao combinar os elementos lúdicos e ritualísticos do RPG com interesses didáticos voltados para o ensino de história, é possível construir uma narrativa ficcional e mágica em diálogo com o saber histórico endossado pela historiografia vigente.

A natureza do ser: um ensaio sobre as raízes do comportamento humano
Authors: Osorio Eduardo Allgayer
Published: May 2024

Conhecer a si continua a ser o maior desafio humano, constituindo-se os segredos da mente na última fronteira a ser transposta. Para melhor entender os mecanismos que governam o nosso comportamento e as emoções que sentimos, necessário se faz retroceder no tempo para desvendar o cenário dos primórdios da evolução, época em que se estruturaram as engrenagens neuronais que hoje processam os nossos pensamentos e sentimentos. O cérebro humano não foi, de início, projetado para decifrar os fundamentos da física quântica, para desvendar a psicologia freudiana nem para compor sinfonias musicais, mas sim para favorecer a sobrevivência no ambiente agreste, para defender o território próprio e para disputar por fêmeas para acasalar. As condições necessárias para efetuar com- plexos cálculos matemáticos, para elaborar o pensa- mento filosófico ou para usufruir o deleite poético resultaram de desenvolvimentos posteriores, incorporados ao patrimônio cultural humano em época relativamente recente. Seguidas vezes nos surpreendemos com gestos que denunciam as nossas origens. A expressão “medo de arrepiar” deriva da reação instintiva de nossos ancestrais primatas que, quando acuados eriçavam os pelos na intenção de aparentar serem maiores e impressionar o oponente. Noutras vezes somos tomados por emoções que escapam ao nosso entendimento e adotamos atitudes para as quais nos falta uma explicação racional. Tais sentimentos e posturas, na maioria das vezes fora de controle consciente, vêm de impulsos forjados nos primórdios da evolução humana (um “produto das cavernas”). Por estarem profundamente enraizados e serem involuntários tornam-se difíceis de controlar ou alterar. Muitos dos nossos estados de humor, sentimentos e níveis de ativação foram definidos, como hoje ainda se mostram, pelas vantagens que conferiam à sobrevivência e à reprodução da espécie. Nas circunstâncias de então, raiva e agressividade favoreciam o enfrentamento a competidores; medo e cautela reduziam o risco de confrontos desnecessários; atração e ímpeto sexual estimulavam a procriação e o próprio prazer consumista propiciava acumular reservas para uso em situações de escassez, incorporando- se essas emoções e atitudes ao patrimônio emocional e comportamental herdado. A presente obra analisa, sob a ótica da psicologia evolutiva, as raízes biológicas das emoções e do comportamento humano, discutindo temas como: O que nos leva a ter atração por alguém? O que nos faz ter medo, raiva ou ciúme? Possuem o homem e a mulher naturezas idênticas? Somos monogâmicos por índole natural? Qual é a origem do machismo? O que nos induz à promiscuidade sexual? Por que preferimos determinados sabores, odores, cores ou paisagens? Enfim, por que somos como somos e porque sentimos o que sentimos?

A traditional technique for colouring textiles, yarns, or fibres is called "natural dyeing," and it involves employing dyes made from plants, insects, and minerals. The usage of this age-old technique predates synthetic dyes by thousands of years, as documented by numerous cultures across the globe. In this procedure, colour compounds are extracted from natural sources and applied to textiles using a variety of methods, such as resist dyeing, direct application, or immersion dyeing. Natural dyes are typically more environmentally friendly and biodegradable than synthetic ones, which frequently include harsh chemicals and may have adverse effects on the environment. The relationship between natural colouring and traditional workmanship as well as sustainability is one of its most alluring features. It encourages a greater respect for nature and the use of renewable resources. A vast spectrum of colours can also be produced by natural dyes, however they might be more delicate and complex than their synthetic equivalents. Although natural dyeing has numerous benefits, there are drawbacks as well, including color fastness, consistency, and the availability of dye supplies. However, artists and textile aficionados are still exploring and expanding the potential of natural dyeing techniques in modern contexts through careful experimentation, sharing of knowledge, and creativity. The goal of the current endeavour was to employ the extract that was previously described in a sustainable way. Thus, an attempt is made to colour cotton material at different temperatures utilising alum as a colourant extract and a mordant. To extract colour, the coconut husks were soaked and then cooked for half an hour. The colourant extract and mordants were used to dye the fabric for an hour at a moderate temperature. Tests were conducted on the coloured cloth samples to determine their resistance to light, rubbing, and cleaning. Beneficial results were found. The study's findings so suggest that eco-friendly cotton fabric dyeing has a promising future.

This paper proposes a comprehensive approach to smart irrigation by integrating intrusion detection mechanisms. By combining the functionalities of smart irrigation systems with intrusion detection systems (IDS), the proposed framework offers enhanced security and reliability in agricultural water management. The system employs a network of sensors weather, and soil moisture levels patterns, and other relevant parameters to optimize irrigation scheduling. Concurrently, it utilizes intrusion detection algorithms to identify and respond to unauthorized access attempts or anomalous behaviors within the irrigation infrastructure. The proposed approach represents a noteworthy advancement in the direction of sustainable and secure management of water in agriculture, contributing to improved crop yields, resource conservation, and overall perseverance in the face of emerging challenges. Additionally, by incorporating machine learning algorithms into the intrusion detection system, the framework is able to change and grow over time, enhancing its capacity to identify and neutralize possible threats. Furthermore, the system can more accurately predict when irrigation is needed by utilizing real-time data analysis and predictive modeling approaches. This maximizes water usage efficiency while reducing waste. This all-encompassing strategy encourages a more ecologically sustainable method of managing water resources while also strengthening the resilience of farming operations. Furthermore, the framework enables farmers to take educated decisions in real-time, maximizing productivity and lowering risks, by giving them actionable insights and alerts about security breaches and irrigation needs.

Published: May 2024

Transportation infrastructure plays a crucial role in the economic development and growth of nations, facilitating trade and investment opportunities by enabling the movement of people, services, and goods across markets and regions. However, developing countries such as Sierra Leone face significant challenges in providing suitable transportation infrastructure to support logistics management. Inadequate upkeep, financial constraints, and limited access to technology hinder the development of transportation infrastructure in Sierra Leone. Consequently, logistics management, which involves the planning, implementation, and control of the movement of goods and services, is adversely affected, leading to delayed deliveries, increased costs, and decreased competitiveness in the global market. This study aims to analyze the state of transportation infrastructure in Sierra Leone and its impact on local commodities. To assess the impact of transportation infrastructure on local commodity supply in Sierra Leone, a qualitative approach was employed. The findings from the study reveal that poor transportation infrastructure particularly limited cold storage facilities along transportation routes can lead to the spoilage of perishable goods such as fruits and vegetables. The findings were supported by four important recommendations: investment in road maintenance and expansion, modernisation of port facilities, development of intermodal transportation hubs, and the promotion of public-private partnerships.

Resum

La crisi pandèmica de la COVID-19 que hem viscut i que encara estem vivint ha portat un canvi radical en la forma que comprenem la relació interna i externa de l’espai. Durant el període més dur del confinament es va afegir a aquesta limitació l’absència total de mobilitat espacial, quin impacte va tenir sobre el procés creatiu? Com afecta aquest tornada a l’espai domèstic a la dona que crea? Com seguir el moviment d’un cos que no s’atura a través del llenguatge? Utilitzant el concepte de ‘subjecte nòmada’ revisat recentment per Rosi Braidotti, aquest article reflexiona sobre la intersecció entre cos i llenguatge a través de la creació d’espirals qüestionant el punt fins el qual aquest moviment continu en forma circular desestabilitza concepcions preexistents entre les experiències particulars del subjecte femení i la limitació –o buit– de l’espai oferint formes alternatives de creació i re-significació de la subjectivitat femenina.
La (nova) crisi del folklore: adaptabilitat i usos contemporanis

Resum

Entès el folklore com una forma particular de comunicació que utilitza recursos artístics i que té lloc entre un grup determinat de persones, s’evidencia la seva relació amb la societat i amb la realitat més propera. Aquesta relació ens ofereix una radiografia d’aquesta societat i dels canvis que s’hi produeixen. I les èpoques de crisi i les situacions d’emergència es caracteritzen, precisament, pels canvis. Així, l’ús del folklore en moments de crisi (com les pandèmies) és una mostra de la seva vigència i contemporaneïtat alhora que de la seva adaptabilitat, amb gèneres que s’adequen als nous temes que preocupen a la societat, però que també evolucionen, donant més importància a la imatge, en una cultura cada cop més visual. En aquest article es reflexiona sobre aquest ús del folklore amb exemples que evidencien la seva actualitat

This research work targets to evaluate the floristic composition of Mahseer National Park, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK). Field data was recorded from fifteen different sites. The Quadrat method was used for vegetation sampling while the exact location of each site, altitude, exposure and geographical coordinates were documented by using geographical positioning system (GPS). To analyze the significance of environmental variables, multivariate statistical analysis was carried out by using two-way clustering, canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) and general linear model (GLM) response curve analysis. Floristically, 109 plant species belonging to 45 families were recorded. Among families, Poaceae was most commonly distributed, accounting for 15 species in total. Two-way cluster analysis categorized the vegetation into four major plant communities. CCA was used to analyze the vegetation-environment relation. Plant species showed a significant correlation response against altitudinal gradient, total nitro-gen, electrical conductivity and calcium contents. The GLM response curve and IVI demonstrated that Cynodon dactylon was the most dominant species followed by Dalbergia sissoo and Adhatoda zeylinica. This study provided the baseline information about the eco-floristic composition. It suggested that the area is floristically rich, and needs to be analyzed in detail by future researchers.
