Background

Malnutrition is underdiagnosed in primary care. GPs are key healthcare contacts for older adults at risk of protein-energy malnutrition; however, lack of knowledge and confidence in its diagnosis and treatment is often reported.

Aim

To evaluate the impact of a bespoke online education module on GP malnutrition knowledge and management.

Design & setting

A prospective pre—post pilot study with 23 GPs and eight GP trainees in the Republic of Ireland.

Method

The module included units on the following: ‘malnutrition definition, prevalence, and latest evidence’; ‘identifying malnutrition in clinical practice’; ‘food-first advice’; ‘reviewing malnutrition’; and ‘oral nutritional supplements’. Participant knowledge was measured using a multiple choice questionnaire (MCQ) before and after the module (n= 31), and 6 weeks following completion (n= 11). Case studies assessing identification and management of malnutrition were evaluated by a clinical specialist dietitian with expertise in managing malnutrition. Changes in assessment performance were calculated using pairedt-tests. Acceptability was evaluated using a questionnaire.

Results

Post-training, 97% of GPs increased MCQ scores from baseline (+25%,P<0.001), with the greatest improvement in ‘identifying malnutrition in clinical practice’ (mean increase 47%,P<0.001). Eleven GPs completed the 6-week MCQ with scores remaining significantly higher than baseline (mean increase 15%,P= 0.005); ‘identifying malnutrition in clinical practice’ remained the most highly scored (mean increase 40%,P<0.001). Seventeen GPs completed the case studies; 76% at baseline and 88% post-module correctly calculated malnutrition risk scores. Appropriate malnutrition management improved for 47% of GPs after module completion.

Conclusion

This e-learning module improved malnutrition knowledge, with good short-term retention in a small cohort. Development of online evidence-based nutrition education may improve GP nutrition care.

Long-term impact on the breeding birds of a semi-offshore island-based wind farm in Åland, Northern Baltic Sea
Authors: Tanskanen Antti , Yrjölä Rauno , Oja Johanna , Aalto Risto , Tanskanen Sakari
Published: November 2022

Breeding bird populations were monitored at a wind farm in the Båtskär area of the southern Åland archipelago in 2006–2017. The area is situated in the outer archipelago and comprises four islands with six wind turbines in total. The wind turbines began operating in autumn 2007. An environmental impact assessment for the area was conducted in 2002. A control area called Stenarna, located 22 km NW of Båtskär, was used for comparison. The Båtskär area annually recorded 850–1,050 pairs of breeding birds. Four species showed significantly decreasing trends in Båtskär, namely the Common Eider Somateria mollissima, Lesser Black-backed Gull Larus fuscus, Herring Gull L. argentatus , and Black Guillemot Cepphus grylle. In Stenarna, only the Common Eider significantly decreased over the same period. The Arctic Tern Sterna paradisaea  increased in both areas, while the Velvet Scoter Melanitta fusca, Red-breasted Merganser Mergus serrator, Common Gull Larus canus, Rock Pipit Anthus petrosus, and White Wagtail Motacilla alba increased in Stenarna, the control area. The Herring Gull population decline is unlikely to be related to the wind farm. However, the proximity of a wind turbine to a breeding colony of the Lesser Black-backed Gull has most likely contributed to its decline. The reason for the Black Guillemot decline in Båtskär is unknown. The decline of Common Eider in both areas may be connected to increasing predation from White-tailed Eagles Haliaeetus albicilla. Some species, such as the House Martin Delichon urbicum and auks, have benefitted from the wind farm construction. They can utilize new microhabitats created by the construction, while other species, such as the Common Eider, gain protection against predation because of human activities.

Introduction: The purpose of the present study is to investigate the common causes of injuries, claims, and decisions related to laser therapy medical malpractice during a nine-year survey. Methods: The legal documents in the Coroner’s Office of Forensic Medicine were investigated in a national database from 2012 to 2020 in Tehran, Iran. The frequency and nature of the cases, including the year of litigation, the location and certificate of the provider, the injury sustained, and the cause of legal action and judgment were collected. Results: Three hundred and eighty-three cases related to injury from laser therapy were registered in the coroner’s Office of Forensic Medicine during the study period. The incidence of litigation related to laser surgery showed an increasing trend, with a peak occurrence in 2020. Laser hair removal was the most common (51.2%) litigated procedure. General practice operators (48%) recorded the highest rate of laser-related medical complaints. Lack of skill was the most common reason for failure. Among 383 cases with public decisions, 62.4% of them were fault liability in paid judgment. Conclusion: Medical claims related to laser application are increasing. However, as it is clear, the growth of laser technology and the increasing demand for lasers in medical science require more surveillance to avoid probable injuries and improve patient safety, especially surveillance of the physicians who work outside the scope of their specialty.

Published: November 2022

Tungsten oxide (WO3) and nickel oxide (NiO) are typical inorganic electrochromic (EC) materials. The color of WO3 changes from transparent to blue by reduction, whereas that of NiO changes from transparent to brown by oxidation. This study fabricated EC devices with an indium tin oxide (ITO)/WO3/NiO/ITO/Nafion/ITO structure. The WO3/NiO double layer and Nafion were used as the EC layer and electrolyte, respectively. The color of the device changed from blue to transparent and then to brown by varying the applied potential from −2.5 to +1.0 V and then to +2.0 V. The WO3 and NiO films were reduced at −2.5 V; the WO3 film was oxidized at +1.0 V, and both were oxidized at +2.0 V. The transmittance in the visible and near-infrared regions changed independently. Hence, the devices are considered applicable for dual-band EC smart windows.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is an emergent technology with the potential to drastically change the landscape of many civil and industrial activities in the near future. A promising field of application is the inspection and monitoring of industrial plants, where UAVs can be a valid alternative to traditional approaches with a better cost-effectiveness and a higher safety level. Although the disruptive innovative potential of this technology is generally recognized, a consistent methodological approach towards the evaluation of the drawbacks and benefits of employing UAVs in critical industrial operations can hardly be found in the current scientific literature. In such context, this paper proposes a framework for assessing the effectiveness of UAV technology in industrial monitoring applications within a structured multi-objective framework. In particular, the paper compares the traditional ground-based inspection services of Above Ground Storage Tank (AST) with UAV based inspection, by means of the well-known Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method considering time, cost and safety criteria. A case study is also proposed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach proposed.

Published: November 2022

 Multiple longest common subsequence (MLCS) mining (a classical NP-hard problem) is an important task in many fields. Numerous applications in these fields can generate very long sequences (i.e., the length of the sequences ≥ 10^4), called big sequences. Such big sequences present a serious challenge to existing MLCS algorithms. Although significant efforts have been made to tackle the challenge, both existing exact and approximate MLCS algorithms fail to deal with big sequences as their problem-solving model MLCS-DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) is too large to be calculated due to the memory explosion. To bridge the gap, this paper first proposes a new identification and deletion strategy of different classes of non-critical points, which are the points that do not contribute to the solution on the MLCS-DAG. It then proposes a new MLCS problem-solving graph model, called KP-MLCS-DAG (Key Point based MLCS-DAG). A novel parallel MLCS algorithm, called KP-MLCS (Key Point based MLCS), is also presented, which can mine and compress all MLCSs of big sequences effectively and efficiently. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and real-world biological sequences show that the proposed algorithm KP-MLCS drastically outperforms the existing state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.

Authors: Nabetani Toshihisa , Harada Hiroshi
Published: November 2022

With the development of wireless LANs, they are expected to have wide applications not only in traditional home but also in industrial applications. Therefore, the next generation of IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN standard demands higher throughput and lower latency. Full duplex (FD) technology, which allows a device to simultaneously transmit and receive signals on the same channel by cancelling self-interference, is one of the promising solutions to meet those requirements. Feasibility studies for applying FD technology to wireless LAN systems started in IEEE 802.11 standardization. In this article, we provide an overview of the FD mechanism and the technical problems for the realization. Furthermore, we provide the direction of the FD system for wireless LANs in IEEE 802.11 standardization. In addition, we discuss the expected low latency effect of the FD mechanism on the wireless LAN systems based on the direction in IEEE 802.11 standardization.

The effects of seed provenance on daily seed germination, cumulative a seed germination and germination percentage of Jatropha Curcas L. was studied in the 2019 at the fruit and vegetable teaching and research Farm of Department of agricultural Science, Shehu Shagari College of Education Sokoto, Nigeria. The study area comprised of four senatorial zones of Sokoto state, Nigeria covering Sokoto Central Zone with Sokoto South, Wamakko, Kware and Binji Local Government Area. The Sokoto West Zone with Bodinga, Yabo, Shagari and Tambuwal Local Government Area. Sokoto East Zone with Gwadabawa, Goronyo, Isah and Sabon-Birni Local Government Areas. Seed accessions collected were dried properly and fumigated with nuval chemical and stored in polyethene bags. Uniform seed treatment was given to all the accessions prior to sowing, by soaking the seeds in water for 12 hours and subsequently sown directly on the field. They were laid out in a split plot design with three replications. Spacing was within the main plot, while seed germination was allocated the sub-plot. Data were recorded on percentage establishment, Daily seed germination, cumulative seed germination and germination percentage after the establishment count. Significant means were separated using the Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT). The highest daily germination (3.33a) was recorded at the seed accession (SE1), followed by the SE2 (P>3.00a) and the least being the SE4 (p<1.00C) whereas on the cumulative germination however, the seed accession at SE1 had the highest (P>17.67a) followed by those of accessions SC1 and SW4 (who were at par (P<14.33bc) and the least that form the accession of SC4 (P<5.33f). The seed accession at SE1 had the highest (P.>88.33a), followed by the SC1, and SW4 which were statistically at far (P.<71.67). Whereas the least being that at the accession SC3 (P.<46.67e). Consequently the seed at accession SE1 are therefore recommended for Jatropha cultivation in the semi-arid zone of Nigeria.

Published: November 2022

Arborescent lipoma is a rare pseudotumor of the synovium, occurring idiopathically or sometimes in association with mechanical or inflammatory arthropathy. The preferred location is the knee, particularly in the suprapatellar recess. If the diagnosis is evoked, particularly in the presence of a chronic effusion, the diagnosis is based on an MRI examination which shows hypertrophy of the synovial villi which appear to have a fatty signal on all the sequences. However, confirmation of the diagnosis is based on synovial biopsy.

This study presents evidence of the impact of an innovative pedagogical practice that cultivates and develops the intercultural competence of undergraduate college students. 15 U.S. undergraduate students enrolled in a business study abroad course and 12 Chinese undergraduate students participated in a virtual student exchange project in spring 2019. Using global distance learning technology, the students collaborated on the project to provide a joint comprehensive investment recommendation report. A comparison of U.S. students’ Intercultural Effectiveness Scale scores at the beginning and end of the project revealed significant positive changes in their intercultural competence. Student self-evaluations and peer surveys confirmed improvement in students’ global mindset. Being one of the first studies to demonstrate student intercultural competence and learning through a virtual exchange experience, this study provides implications for study abroad and virtual global learning.
Study Abroad: Benefits, Concerns, Who Goes and Why?
Authors: Gan Lydia , Kang Zhixin
Published: November 2022

The objective of the research is to investigate if certain demographics of students help explain four areas of potential improvements in predominantly short-term study abroad programs. These areas are motivation, experience enhancement, benefits from various learning activities, and students’ concerns regarding their experience. Pre-trip and post-trip surveys were conducted using logistic regression model. Our results showed that participants of a longer-term program were more likely than those in the short-term program to be expanded in their cultural understanding and global outlook. In contrast to many studies, males were found to be more motivated than females by a desire to experience foreign culture. Students with a higher GPA were found to have a more enhanced academic experience than those with a lower GPA. Finally, participants from a monocultural background were found to have a more culturally enhanced experience than the multicultural ones. The results will help improve the quality of study abroad programs.

Published: November 2022

University students often share that studying abroad was a life-changing experience. We explored how one short-term, faculty-led study abroad, Tanzania Study Abroad Program (TSAP), contributed to the participants’ lives after their experience. Through a web-based survey, we collected responses from 82 former TSAP participants. We used corpus and thematic analysis to determine prominent themes of participants’ memories and perceptions of how TSAP impacted their lives. Respondents reflected on the people they interacted with throughout their study abroad experiences, both with those abroad and their peers. Furthermore, the program leaders’ intentional actions in the planning of the context, curriculum, and community engagement informed participants’ opportunities to develop relationships that were non-transactional in nature. Participants also reported that their cross-cultural relationships with Tanzanians positively influenced their subsequent interactions with people from diverse communities. Prioritizing relationships with host community members and peers on study abroad shows promise for supporting participants’ intercultural development.
