An exploration of final year physiotherapy students’ experiences of early mobilisation and rehabilitation for critically ill patients during practice education
Authors: Morris Holly , Latchem-Hastings Geraldine
Published: November 2022

Background Rates of mortality following critical illness are continually improving. With this comes an increasing need to focus on these patients outcomes following dis- charge from the intensive care unit (ICU). Historically, bed rest was prescribed for these patients. However, in recent years research recognised the adverse effects of prolonged immobility on multiple body systems, particularly its potential impact upon longer- term quality of life. In 2009, the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) recognised the potential clinical and economical gains associated with early physical rehabilitation. Evidence-based guidelines have been published to recommend rehabilitation starts as early as clinically possible. However, currently there is significant variation in the provision of rehabilitation across ICU sites. Opportunities are available for Cardiff University BSc Physiotherapy students to undertake clinical placement within the ICU setting, presenting a unique opportunity to explore the experiences of those students during the rehabilitation of critically ill patients, across multiple Welsh ICU sites. Additionally, this data can be utilised to assess current rehabilitation practice across ICU sites and inform the ongoing development of the undergraduate respiratory curriculum. Research question What are final year physiotherapy students’ experiences of early mobilisation and rehabilitation for critically ill patients during practice education? Methodology Qualitative, interpretive methodology was used to collect data via two focus groups with a total of seven Cardiff University final year physiotherapy students. Ethical approval was granted in July 2017 by the Cardiff University School of Healthcare Sciences Ethics Committee. Thematic analysis was utilised to analyse the data devising themes and sub themes ready for discussion. Results Four main themes were identified (1) Role of the physiotherapist in ICU, (2) Teamwork, (3) Barriers and (4) Evidence-based practice. Conclusion At present there is a limited literature base supporting early mobilisation and rehabilitation within ICU. As such this novel research fills a gap in the literature base by exploring final year physiotherapy undergraduate experiences of working within ICU. The findings identify students feeling overwhelmed during their ICU placements and reporting an overwhelming sense of reliance on their clinical educators. Additionally, they demonstrate a lack of knowledge surrounding the available evidence-base for practice in this area. These findings can also be utilised to explore the current provision of rehabilitation across Welsh ICU sites and to inform the ongoing development of the undergraduate teaching curriculum to ensure both students feel adequately supported, and newly qualified physiotherapists are confident and competent whilst practicing within the ICU.
Studying the spontaneous polarization and dielectric response of La: BiFeO3 nanocrystal (NCs)
Authors: Aljawfi Rezq Naji , Al-Sanaa Hashim , Kumer Shalendera
Published: November 2022

We studied the dielectric response and ferroelectric ordering of BiFeO3 and La doped bismuth ferrite (Bi0.97La0.03FeO3) nanocrystal (NCs) synthesized through sol-gel conventional route. XRD refinement revealed the formation of rhombohedral distorted perovskite structure with negligible secondary phase. The frequency dependent dielectric constant ɛ (ɷ) showed a rapid decrease in the dielectric at low frequency (1 MHz), and become almost constant at high frequency. The surface charge and orientation polarizations are likely to be predominant governing the dielectric response. The ferroelectric measurements (P-E curve) displayed remnant polarization, which were about 0.60 μC/cm2 at 17.35 kV/cm for Bi0.97LaxFeO0.03. Our study confirmed a weak offset in the crystal structure, dielectric response and ferroelectric properties of BiFeO3 NCs as a function of La dopant ion.

Characterization and Flowering Behavior of Eleven Philippine Native Phalaenopsis Species and Gamma Irradiation Effects on Phalaenopsis aphrodite
Authors: Magdalita Pablito , San Pascual Alangelico , Villareal Ruben
Published: November 2022

Eleven species of Phalaenopsis or butterfly orchids collected from different places in the country were characterized for flower traits, leaf characters, growth habit, and capsule maturity, length, and width; evaluated for flowering behavior; and tested for self-compatibility and capsule setting under ambient conditions in Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines. Also, Phalaenopsis aphrodite was used for mutation breeding via gamma irradiation. Subjecting self-fertilized progenies to irradiation will generate mutants with potential for breeding and selection. The eleven Phalaenopsis species studied flowered consistently under ambient conditions for two years with degrees of self-compatibility and capsule setting varying from 3.8 to 50%. P. aphrodite and P. hieroglyphica embryos cultured in vitro germinated successfully at 80–90% within 3–4 wk after explanting. Germinating embryos of P. aphrodite subjected to different levels of gamma irradiation at 10, 15, 20, and 25 Gy responded differently to the treatments. The number of complete regenerants, and those regenerants with shoot only, also differed significantly among the treatments. In addition, leaf length, width, and thickness differed significantly among the treatments after 2 yr of growth. Early flowering was observed in two plants of P. aphrodite irradiated using 15 Gy. Normally, tissue culture-derived P. aphrodite seedlings flower 3 yr after potting out, but one plant flowered at 1 yr and 8 mo while the other did at 2 yr after potting out.
DOST-PNRI Mutant Variety: Dracaena ‘Sun Beam’
Authors: Aurigue Fernando
Published: November 2022

Dracaena braunii is one of the priority ornamental plants. Dracaena ‘Sun Beam’ (NSIC 2014 Or 85) is a chlorophyll mutant of D. braunii developed by gamma irradiation (Cobalt-60 source) of 15-cm stem cuttings and registered by the DOST-PNRI with the National Seed Industry Council of the Bureau of Plant Industry, Department of Agriculture (DA-BPI-NSIC) and to the Mutant Variety Database of the Joint Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations / International Atomic Energy Agency (FAO/IAEA) Program. In all aspects, D. ‘Sun Beam’ is similar to the parent material except for the shorter leaf and its broad bar. The propagation of the mutant is true-to-type by cutting (top cutting, stem cutting, and nodal cutting) and separation of suckers. D. ‘Sun Beam’ is very attractive and shoots or top cuttings may be used as cut foliage in flower arrangements or grown individually or in a group as containerized plants, materials for terrariums, dish gardens, and landscaping.
À propos de la notion de «trace» dans la syntaxe chez Harris et chez Chomsky
Authors: Arias Navarro Javier
Published: November 2022

Ce texte constitue un bref résumé de certains travaux en cours beaucoup plus longs et détaillés sur le concept de «trace» dans la théorie linguistique contemporaine, en particulier dans la syntaxe. On pense généralement que l'idée en revient à Noam Chomsky; cependant, nous découvrons déjà son utilisation, avec une valeur très précise, dans les premiers travaux de Zellig Harris sur la linguistique mathématique ou, pour être plus précis, sur les structures mathématiques du langage. À l'origine, plutôt que d'être un index responsable du marquage de la place occupée par une unité antérieure à son mouvement syntaxique (qui prend toujours la forme d'un fronting), la trace était le résultat d'un produit matriciel entre des fonctions n-adiques. Ainsi, chez Harris, la trace est avant tout un concept ancré dans le calcul matriciel ou, autrement dit, une notion algébrique. La notion de Chomsky, à son tour, est étroitement liée au langage de programmation LISP. Ce texte cherche à fournir une analyse préliminaire de la complexité conceptuelle impliquée dans le concept de trace, dont les linguistes devraient prendre conscience, sous peine de s’embourber dans des incompréhensions stériles pour notre discipline au cours des décennies à venir.
piedad (en su sentido secular) como fundamento del humanismo
Authors: Cano Cabildo Sissi
Published: November 2022

El enfoque secular de la piedad significa padecer por el dolor ajeno; no apunta a la autocompasión, ni se circunscribe al ámbito estrictamente privado o religioso. En la afección por el dolor y/o humillación de cualquier ser humano es donde realmente se deja ver que la vida humana tiene valor universal por sí misma y por tanto dignidad. A partir del incordio de la piedad, el ser humano puede rebelarse contra la injusticia y en esa medida, puede ser principio de acción política y de un auténtico humanismo.
Schelling y el origen de la metafísica de la voluntad desde su filosofía de la naturaleza en el nacimiento del idealismo alemán
Authors: Serrano San José Álvaro
Published: November 2022

En este artículo se pretende realizar un análisis del origen filosófico de uno de los puntos clave que cambiaron los cimientos de la metafísica moderna a partir de la aportación de la noción de filosofía de naturaleza de Schelling, que conlleva a abrir desde el idealismo alemán una concepción alternativa de las relaciones entre la finitud y el Absoluto a las llevadas a cabo por Fichte y Hegel. Su filosofía de la naturaleza inaugurará toda una corriente de pensamiento que incluirá tanto gran parte de la filosofía de Spinoza como el discurrir estético del Sturm und Drang alemán. Posteriormente, y previa enorme reflexión del tótem ineludible de la filosofía crítica kantiana y ruptura con la fichteana, la importancia de su legado filosófico no hará más que crecer, ya que de la influencia sus escritos participarán, de manera más o menos explícita, pensadores como Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Freud o Heidegger, e incluso llegará hasta el siglo XXI de la mano de gran parte de los autores de la denominada época posmoderna, como Deleuze o Zizek entre otros.
2 - Democracia ambiental em Moçambique: congruências legais e contradições práticas
Authors: Meloni Giuseppe , Machanguia Ana Lúcia César
Published: November 2022

In the last decades, the protection of the environment towards a sustainable development is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. This research aims to understand Mozambique’s commitment to attentive governance that promotes Environmental Democracy. This qualitative research is theoretical (bibliographic-documental) and makes use of the analytical and comparative method to find an answer to the following problem: Mozambique has always been present at international summits on the environment, signed the various protocols, consistently agreed, but it still faces difficulties in pursuing the objectives set at the level of governance (legislative, executive and judicial). There are several obstacles in Mozambique’s journey to become a Democratic State of Environmental Law, in line with environmental law recognized as a human right. The results of this research are challenging: in Mozambique there is little talk of environmental democracy, and the local literature on the subject is scarce. The need for greater and direct public participation in the implementation processes of major projects for the exploitation of natural resources and investments that delay the local development is widely recognized.

This study aims to analyze the political determinations that interfere with democratic stability in Guinea-Bissau. The work fits in the field of political sociology, addresses the connection between political relations within the structures of the State and the democratic process. It seeks to understand the impact of these relations on the process of socioeconomic and political development of the country, especially in the period after the colonial independence, having as its theoretical reference the post-colonial thought, applied to the political processes of African countries. This research used the qualitative method, accompanied by semi-structured interviews conducted in Guinea-Bissau with key informants and documentary research based on official documents from the Guinean government. The result was that there were several determinants that influenced in the various phases of the country’s political life. The weak affirmation of the normal procedures of a democracy, which includes disputes over political power aiming to control the state apparatus, economic crisis, problems of poverty, coups d’état led by military with participation of politicians, leading to the current situation, of constant instability and institutional precariousness.

Communities of Lepidoptera along an elevational gradient in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea)
Authors: Vieira L. R. , Henriques N. R. , De Souza M. M.
Published: November 2022

The diversity and composition of Lepidoptera communities vary along an elevational gradient, with richness and abundance generally decreasing as elevation increases. In Brazil, however, there is a lack of data on the topic and many elevation zones remain unexplored. This study aimed to examine the effect of elevation variation on the richness, frequency, abundance, and composition of Lepidoptera in an Atlantic Forest region in southern Minas Gerais State, Brazil, and we also present the first species list of Lepidoptera of the Fernão Dias Environmental Protection Area. The study was conducted between October 2019 and March 2020, and sampling was performed with the same sampling effort at three elevation levels by active (nets) and passive (bait trap) methods. A total of 622 Lepidoptera individuals, belonging to 154 species, were sampled. The family Nymphalidae exhibited thehighest richness and abundance. The highest elevation zone showed the greatest number of exclusive species. Richness and abundance were highest at middle elevation, but differences between elevation zones were not statistically significant. Richness estimators indicated a mean sampling efficiency of 64.97%. In contrast to the expected pattern, species richness was highest in middle and high elevation zones, which might reflect the greater degree of conservation of these areas. The findings reported here contribute to a better understanding of the diversity of Lepidoptera in higher elevation zones of Atlantic Forest regions in Brazil.

Authors: Sabahat Sajida , Nadeem Asif , Brauning Rudiger , Thomson Peter C. , Khatkar Mehar S.
Published: November 2022

Objective: Growth performance and growth-related traits have a crucial role in livestock due to their influence on productivity. This genome-wide association study (GWAS) in Pakistani dromedary camels was conducted to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with growth at specific camel ages, and for selected SNPs, to investigate in detail how their effects change with increasing camel age. This is the first GWAS conducted on dromedary camels in this region.Methods: Two Pakistani breeds, Marecha and Lassi, were selected for this study. A genotypingby-sequencing method was used, and a total of 65,644 SNPs were identified. For GWAS, weight records data with several body weight traits, namely, birthweight, weaning weight, and weights of camels at 1, 2, 4, and 6 years of age were analysed by using model-based growth curve analysis. Age-specific weight data were analysed with a linear mixed model that included fixed effects of SNP genotype as well as sex.Results: Based on the q-value method for false discovery control, for Marecha camels, five SNPs at q<0.01 and 96 at q<0.05 were significantly associated with the weight traits considered, while three (q<0.01) and seven (q<0.05) SNP associations were identified for Lassi camels. Several candidate genes harbouring these SNP were discovered.Conclusion: These results will help to better understand the genetic architecture of growth including how these genes are expressed at different phases of their life. This will serve to lay the foundations for applied breeding programs of camels by allowing the genetic selection of superior animals.

Published: November 2022

Objective: Sweet sorghum is an important forage crop for ruminants, especially in low rainfall areas. Grapeseeds are an abundant by-product of wine-making and contain bioactive substances that can improve the antioxidant capacity of meat. We examined the effect of sweet sorghum forage with supplementary grapeseeds on carcass and meat quality in lambs.Methods: Twenty-eight Small-tailed Han lambs (body weight = 19.1±1.20 kg), aged 3 to 4 months, were penned, and fed individually. The lambs were divided into four groups (n = 7 each) and were offered one of four diets: i) sweet sorghum silage; ii) sweet sorghum silage + grapeseeds; iii) sweet sorghum hay; and iv) sweet sorghum hay + grapeseeds. The grapeseeds were added to the concentrate at 6% DM and the diets were fed for 100 d.Results: Sweet sorghum silage tended (p = 0.068) to increase hot carcass weight, while grapeseeds tended (p = 0.081) to decrease dressing percentage without affecting other carcass parameters. Lambs consuming supplementary grapeseeds increased (p<0.05) meat redness and tended to decrease (p = 0.075) concentration of methionine in meat. Lambs consuming sweet sorghum silage increased (p<0.001) water content of the meat and had a lower (p<0.05) concentration of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and n-6:n-3 PUFA ratio than lambs consuming sweet sorghum hay. Saturated fatty acids content in meat was lowest (p<0.05) in lambs consuming sweet sorghum silage with grapeseeds. Lambs with supplementary grapeseeds tended (p<0.10) to increase eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid and have a lower thrombogenic index than lambs not consuming grapeseeds.Conclusion: It was concluded that sweet sorghum with supplementary grapeseeds fed to lambs; i) improved the color of the meat to be more appetizing to the consumer; ii) tended to improve the fatty acids composition of the meat; and iii) lowered thrombogenic index of the meat.
— Invited Review — Mineral composition and phosphorus digestibility in feed phosphates fed to pigs and poultry
Authors: Lee Su A , Lopez Diego A. , Stein Hans H.
Published: November 2022

Phosphorus (P) is a macro mineral needed for bone mineralization and cell membrane structure and P is also involved in several fundamental pathways of metabolism in the body. Because of the low concentration and digestibility of P in plant ingredients that are the main components of diets for poultry and pigs, feed phosphates are usually included in diets in addition to the P contributed by plant ingredients. The most widely used feed phosphates in poultry and swine diets are dicalcium phosphate (DCP) and monocalcium phosphate (MCP), but tricalcium phosphate (TCP), monosodium phosphate (MSP), and magnesium phosphate (MgP) may be used as well. Because feed phosphates are mostly produced from rock phosphate, feed phosphates have impurities that contain minerals other than P. Concentrations of P in feed phosphates range from 14.8% (MgP) to 25.7% (MSP). The standardized total tract digestibility (STTD) of P in pigs ranges from 71% (TCP) to 95% (MSP). The STTD of Ca and the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of P and Ca in feed phosphates fed to pigs and poultry have been determined only in a few experiments. Available data indicate that the STTD of Ca and SID of P in MCP are greater than in DCP in both poultry and pigs, but the SID of Ca is similar between DCP and MCP fed to broilers. Information on mineral concentrations and digestibility values in feed phosphates is needed in diet formulation for pigs and poultry, but if diets are formulated to contain equal concentrations of digestible P and Ca, it is unlikely that animal performance will be impacted by the source of feed phosphates used in the diet.

The heterogeneity and plurality of actors and the possible issues that influence Ethical Decision-Making (EDM) make EDM a multi-faceted phenomenon. This research aims to (i) investigate the training or instructional path in ethics or computing ethics, and (ii) investigate these phenomena from ethics of resistance disruptive, critical, and innovative perspective. The simplification and reduction of the holistic panorama partially explain that empirical research on this topic has failed to generate cumulative results. Therefore, we collect and analyze four hundred and thirty-four responses from a questionnaire, mostly from computer experts associated with their instruction on ethics and “immoral” or “unethical” practices that they have been involved in, directly or indirectly. Based on the results obtained, the main contribution is an interpretive and exploratory computing ethics/ethics discussion about instruction and the morality of practices through cyberspace.

Background: Immune system disorders are one of the main problems in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis. The weakening of the immune system in these patients makes them susceptible to various infections. Objectives: This research was conducted for the first time to investigate the prevalence of naturally acquired immunity to Meningococcus and its association with the duration of dialysis, gender, and age in hemodialysis patients. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on patients suffering from chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis referring to Jahrom Hemodialysis Center in March-August 2022. The qualitative level of anti-meningococcal polysaccharide antibodies was determined in serum samples using ELISA assay with specialized and commercial kits to determine the immunity to Meningococcus. Stata version 14 was used to analyze the data with the chi-square test, univariate, and multivariable logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of naturally acquired immunity to Meningococcus was 18.68% in hemodialysis patients. Sex, age, duration of hemodialysis, and the number of weekly dialysis sessions were associated with the acquired immunity to Meningococcus. Conclusions: As hemodialysis patients are not vaccinated against meningococci in Iran, 18.68% of the hemodialysis patients had a history of meningococcal infection. Considering the susceptibility of these patients to this infectious disease and its preventability, it is recommended to vaccinate these patients against meningococcal infection.

Objectives: Assess the diagnostic value of Bone Metabolism Biomarker Osteocalcin for Monitoring Treatment Chronic moderate Periodontitis.
Materials and Methods: 84 patients with chronic moderate periodontitis were participated in this study who received periodontal therapy. All patients underwent a thorough clinical and laborator examination including a determination of the serum osteocalcin content, at the beginning of the study and 1, 3 months after therapy.
Results: Healing period occurred without complications, and with minimal postoperative discomfort. The mean BOP before treatment was 2.5 ± 0.31, after 1 month treatment the mean BOP 1.7 ± 0.1, after 3 months treatment the mean BOP 1.3 ± 0.12(p>0.05). The probing depth according to the mean value (PD) was 5.27 ± 0.77
mm at the beginning of the study and, respectively, 4.35 ± 0.73 mm 1 month after therapy and 2.82 ± 0.43 (p> 0.05 ) 3 months after therapy. The mean value of clinical attachment level (CAL) at baseline in the study group
was 5.84± 0.79 mm, 1 month after therapy it was was 4.92 ±0.71 mm. and 3 month after therapy it was3,4 ±0,7.
Therefore, in periodontitis patients; there was a statistically significant decrease in mean CAL post-operatively (at P < 0.001).The mean value of osteocalcin in serum at baseline was 10.58 ng/ml, 1 month after periodontal therapy it was 14.23 ng/ml, 3 month after periodontal therapy it was was 17.74 ng/ml. As a result, there is a
statistically significant increase in mean osteocalcin postoperatively (at P < 0.001).The study results showed that elevated serum osteocalcin concentration in patients with chronic periodontitis after periodontal therapy correlates with PPD and CAL, suggesting that its role could be used as a diagnostic test for patient and to complement other diagnostic tests.
Conclusions: The results of study showed that a combination treatment with the use of bone graft materials, hyaluronic acid (Gengigel®) and magnetic laser therapy is an effective therapy for the treatment of periodontal disease.
