Published: April 2021

It is essential to have an effective care process to promote colorectal cancer (CRC) screening particularly in rural areas. Primary care health care providers may have a significant impact on improving CRC screening rates among rural residents through systematic screening processes in their clinics. In this qualitative study, we aimed to explore the whole clinic processes of recommending and referring CRC screening in the rural accountable care organization (ACO) primary care clinics. We collected qualitative data through 21 semi-structured in-depth interviews with healthcare providers in rural primary care ACO clinics in Nebraska. We audio recorded and transcribed the interviews and analyzed the data using an inductive content analysis approach. The qualitative analyses revealed that ACO clinics are promoting CRC screening through teamwork with enhanced utilization of electronic health records and various other reminder strategies for both providers and patients. Areas for improvement in ACO clinic processes were also identified.
Revisiting Interview Data Through a Post I-Poem
Authors: Schrauben Julie , Leigh S.
Published: April 2021

A former participant in a research study on adolescent writers was invited to read and respond to a Post-I-Poem (PIP), a poetic transcription constructed from her interview data in what is now a closed study. The purpose of this investigation was to explore what could be learned from doing a PIP in the first place and what lines of inquiry this investigation could raise for why a researcher might revisit old interview data. Analysis of one student’s PIP suggests that using poetic transcription to revisit retired transcriptions offers researchers potentially new directions for further study.
The Underreported Significance of Transcription Decisions: Perspectives Gained from Two Different Vantage Points
Authors: Cibils Lilian
Published: April 2021

In this paper, I propose redefining transcription as a significant process within qualitative research, and as more deserving of attention and of transparency in reporting. Although interviewing has become one of the most frequently used methods of qualitative data collection, when summarizing the methodology adopted in their studies, researchers are still not likely to describe either the transcription process itself or the decision-making process that led up to it. One of the problems with transcription is that it is frequently addressed separately from the broader philosophical, ideological or epistemological contexts of a study, and dealt with as a minor independent logistics issue, and its resolution reduced to its mechanics or its physical completion. In this article, I highlight the significance of decisions made about transcription as illustrated by an account of two contrasting experiences. I explore the choices made related to who undertakes the process and how it is completed as based on theoretical underpinnings. These decisions, as illustrated in the examples, reflect views on what is to be known and what is considered to be the data, and will, ultimately, determine the limitations or the possibilities for analysis and interpretation.

Continuing education is necessary to improve the professional knowledge and skills of graduates of medical sciences, which may be implemented via e-learning. This qualitative study aimed to explore the experiences and viewpoints of faculty members participating in continuing education webinars. The participants consisted of 15 faculty members selected purposefully and with maximal variation regarding their sex, age, the field of specialization, academic rank, and work experience. Data were collected through semi-structured individual face-to-face interviews. Data analysis of these transcripts using a qualitative content analysis approach revealed 3 themes and 9 sub-themes. The main themes included “Moving across the boundaries of knowledge,” Virtual education challenges,” and “Motivators and facilitators.” These data suggest that the main prerequisites for holding successful and effective continuing education webinars are the existence of the necessary software and hardware infrastructures, high-speed and accessible Internet, purposeful educational design, as well as empowering, motivating, and encouraging faculty members to participate in such educational programs. The technical infrastructures and human elements remain critical in effective implementation of continuing education webinars.
Getting Change-Space: A Grounded Theory Study of Automated eHealth Therapy
Authors: Holter Marianne , Ness Ottar , Johansen Ayna , Brendryen Håvar
Published: April 2021

A promising tool for bettering people’s health is eHealth (or “mHealth”) programs: fully automated, web-based health interventions. However, we know surprisingly little about eHealth’s working mechanisms. One possible working mechanism is that program users benefit from a collaborative “relationship”—a “working alliance”—with the program. Although evidence support the existence of a person-to-program alliance it is unclear if and how it influences change. Therefore, we conducted a grounded theory study of how relating to an eHealth program for quitting smoking influenced the participants’ change processes. The ensuing model focuses on how participants got change-space—feeling free from social forcing and able to work constructively on changing—and how the relational processes “making come-alive” and “keeping un-alive” were instrumental in this process. By presenting evidence that relating may influence change in automated therapy, this study supports the person-to-program alliance as a working mechanism in eHealth.

Authors: Karim Abdul , Ahmed Zohur , Shahed Faheem , Rahman Mohammad , Mohamed Abdul
Published: April 2021

Numerous donor-sponsored in-service training programs have been operated in Bangladesh for English language teachers. EIA was the last donor-funded project that incorporated school-based training. It claimed to acquaint teachers with technology coupled with a lot of interactive activities to be incorporated in the classroom. The aim of the study was to identify the challenges faced by the secondary-school English language teachers in incorporating the elements learned in EIA training into their classroom practices and to identify the solutions to overcome the challenges. The present study undertook reflective theory developed by Wallace (1991). To conduct this study, semi-structured interview with the teachers and semi-structured classroom observation were carried out. Teachers reported some issues that potentially precluded them from employing different activities in their classrooms. In addition, teachers elicited suggestions to overcome the challenges. The interview data were organized thematically. This study was intended as an eye opener for the policy makers in the small states.

A New Metasurface Structure for Bandwidth Improvement of Antenna Array
Authors: Nguyen Lan
Published: April 2021

In this paper, the design of an antenna array with enhanced bandwidth is presented. The antenna array includes 16 elements (4 x 4) based on RT5880 with height of 1.575 mm, dielectric constant of 2.2 and loss tangent of 0.0009 and it is yielded at the central
frequency of 5.8 GHz for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) applications. In addition, in order to enhance bandwidth for antenna, the paper proposes a new metasurface. The metasurface, which is a lattice of 3 x 3 cells, is printed on a substrate of FR4 (h = 1.6 mm, ɛr = 4.4, and tanδ = 0.02) and it acts as an artificial magnetic conductor reflector. The final prototype with an overall dimension of 123 x 120 x 3.315 mm3 was fabricated and measured. The antenna witnesses an impedance bandwidth of 5.1-7.5 GHz at -10 dB (41%) and a peak gain of 17.65 dBi for measurement. The simulation results are confirmed by measurement ones to verify the performance of the proposed antenna.
Frequency Band Rejection Technique Based on the Operating Modes for a Wideband H-Shaped DRA
Authors: Abushakra Feras , Jeong Nathan
Published: April 2021

In this paper, a new approach to create frequency band rejection is applied to a wideband H-shaped dielectric resonator antenna (DRA). In order to create a notch characteristic in the operating band of the TEy1δ1 and TEy2δ1 modes, and guided by their theoretical and simulated electric field distributions, a narrow conductive strip is incorporated around the mid-section of the H-shaped DRA. The orientation of the notching strip is determined based on the electric field distribution of the selected modes for the frequency rejection. Furthermore, the selected feeding method improves the radiation patterns for this DRA shape compared to its previous designs. The new design offers an operating frequency range that extends from 4.15 to 9.8 GHz, allowing 81% of fractional bandwidth. The first notch is created at 6.5 GHz, while the second one is at 8 GHz. Average radiation efficiency of 95% across the frequency of interest is achieved with overall dimensions of 40x30x11.4 mm3. The proposed design is simulated using Ansys HFSS and validated by measurement.
Behavioural changes during the COVID-19 pandemic: Results of a nationwide
survey in Singapore
Authors: Long Victoria JE , Liu Jean CJ
Published: April 2021

Introduction: As part of infection control measures for COVID-19, individuals have been encouraged to
adopt both preventive (such as handwashing) and avoidant behavioural changes (e.g. avoiding crowds). In
this study, we examined whether demographics predicted the likelihood that a person would adopt these
behaviours in Singapore.
Methods: A total of 1,145 participants responded to an online survey conducted between 7 March and 21
April 2020. We collected demographic information and asked participants to report which of 17 behaviour
changes they had undertaken because of the COVID-19 outbreak. Regression analyses were performed to
predict the number of behavioural changes (preventive, avoidant, and total) as a function of demographics.
Finally, we sought to identify predictors of persons who declared that they had not undertaken any of these
measures following the outbreak.
Results: Most participants (97%) reported at least one behavioural change on account of the pandemic, with
changes increasing with the number of local COVID-19 cases (P<0.001). Additionally, women and those who
were younger adopted more preventive behaviours (gender: P<0.001; age: P=0.001). Women were more likely
to increase handwashing frequency, and younger individuals were more likely to wear face masks prior to
legislation. Finally, women and those who were married adopted more avoidant behaviours (gender: P<0.001;
marital status: P<0.001), with both groups avoiding crowded areas and staying home more than usual. Women
also voluntarily reduced physical contact, whereas those who were married preferentially chose outdoor venues
and relied on online shopping.
Conclusion: Our characterisation of behavioural changes provides a baseline for public health advisories.
Moving forward, health authorities can focus their efforts on encouraging segments of the population who do
not readily adopt infection control measures against COVID-19.
Enhanced oil recovery: Projects planning strategy in Angolan oilfields
Authors: Ramos Geraldo Andre Raposo , Yates Kyari
Published: April 2021

Hydrocarbon exploration in Angola commenced in 1910 with its first oil recovered in 1955. The proven reserves in Angola are estimated to reach up to 13 billion barrels (2.1 billion m3). Most of the Angolan oil fields are mature or maturing and some are or may be abandoned due to unprofitable recovery limit beyond the conventional type of oil production. The oil recovery is mainly by primary and secondary recovery methods. Apart from the issue of maturity, there is increasing energy demand due to population growth and difficulties in discovering and developing new fields as alternatives to the current oil fields. For incremental and sustained production rate of these fields and in addition to instability of oil prices and concerns about future oil supply, Angola has started to work towards developing affordable and efficient technologies capable of recovering residual oil in reservoirs as well as extend the life of many current fields which can be achieved through the implementation of enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Therefore, this paper discusses the EOR planning strategy from project selection, project implementation and optimization, and field abandonment. It further highlights the mutual benefits that may be derived from a cross-collaboration between the government and other stakeholders in Angola.
Morphological and elemental analyses of supported palladium (Pd)/silver (Ag) composite membranes
Authors: Reis Miria , Arzani Fernanda A. , Cardoso Vicelma L.
Published: April 2021

Supported palladium (Pd)/silver (Ag) composite membranes have been investigated for hydrogen separation mainly in order to avoid hydrogen embrittlement, improve hydrogen permeance and reduce membrane cost. The electroless method is recommended for the co-plating of Pd and Ag on a substrate surface. However, Ag precursor has a higher redox potential than Pd and, thus, Ag is preferentially deposited, which compromises the membrane selectivity to hydrogen. Here we investigated the morphology and elemental composition of supported palladium (Pd)/silver (Ag) composite membranes produced by different methods. The first membrane was produced from a plating solution of 80 wt% of Pd and 20 wt% of Ag. The membrane surface presented several large dendritic crystals that not grown in a direction to form a dense metallic film. According to EDS results, the membrane surface presented similar Pd and Ag composition, which confirms the preferential Ag deposition. At room temperature, this membrane presented a nitrogen flux of 0.35 mol m-2 s-1 at 200 kPa of transmembrane pressure. Thus, the formed membrane is not suitable for hydrogen separation. The second membrane was formed by adding small amounts of Ag to the plating solution during the electroless process. The final plating solution contained 75 wt% of Pd and 25 w% of Ag. The membrane thickness was 2 µm, but the membrane morphology was not totally dense. According to EDS results, the Ag composition was greater than the Pd composition, especially at the membrane top surface. This membrane also presented high nitrogen permeance probably due to the holes formed on the membrane surface. Thus, although the controlled addition of Ag is recommended to form dense membranes, the Ag was preferentially deposited over the Pd when starting with the highest rate of Ag addition. Adding lower Ag rates at the beginning could be helpful to avoid the preferential Ag deposition.

Globalisasi dan Perubahan Budaya: Perspektif Teori Kebudayaan Modern
Authors: Mayun Susandhika I Gusti Ngurah
Published: April 2021

This paper discusses the relevance of culture theories for understanding glo- balization and cultural change taking place in Indonesia. The issue of globalization and cultural change has recently figured prominently in various discourses in Indonesia, es- pecially in relation to the question of how Indonesia is cultural identities should be main- tained in the face of such a global process. This paper argues that the contemporary cul- ture theory can help us understand such concepts as national culture and identity not as a static, essentialist entity, but rather as a dynamic social construction that is continuously reproduced and innovated by individual subjects. Such an argument is put forth in this paper by introducing aspects of culture theory that have not received much attention in Indonesia, i.e. practice, process, context and discourse concerning cultural construction.

Objective. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of birth defects among neonates born at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) from January 2011 to December 2014.

Methods. Monthly censuses of all deliveries from January 2011 to December 2014 were obtained from the Section of Newborn Medicine. All deliveries with birth defects were coded using International Classification of Diseases-10 (ICD -10). The codes were tallied and classified as either an isolated, part of a recognizable syndrome, chromosomal syndrome or multi-malformed case (MMC). Period prevalence was then calculated.

Results. There was a total of 20,939 deliveries from 2011 to 2014 in PGH, of which 574 babies (2.74%) had a diagnosis of at least one birth defect. Two-hundred seventy-three babies (47.56%) had isolated defects; 130 (22.65%) with defects in MMC; 106 (18.47%) with defects as part of recognizable syndromes; and 65 (11.32%) with defects as part of chromosomal syndromes. One in 36 births has at least one birth defect, which is higher than that reported in other Asian countries.

Conclusion. Birth defects are significant causes of morbidity and mortality. Results of this study provide baseline data that can be used for future studies on the causation of such birth defects, and can be used to formulate policies on primary and secondary prevention. For a tertiary hospital like PGH, these data can serve as a guide towards allocation of resources and manpower towards the more common birth defects.
A Human-Mouse Hybrid HLA-A2-IG Dimer Inhibits the Proliferation of CD4+T Cells In Vitro

Currently, general immunosuppressive drugs are used to maintain tolerance to allografts. However, these drugs have a major drawback of rendering the patient susceptible to infections and other side effects like malignancy and drug related toxicities with an overall rejection of the organ at some point. Previous studies have shown that MHC-Ig dimers may suppress alloresponsive T cells in a donor specific manner in vitro. This work aimed to answer the question as to whether these dimers will surmount rejection through the direct mechanism of allorecognition by suppressing alloreactive CD8+ T cells. To do this, we first identified two mice models with a single mismatch at the MHC loci. We found and procured white albino NOD mice which happened to be transgenic for HLA-A2 and HLA-A24 molecules. We then constructed a human-mouse hybrid HLA-A2-Ig dimer by overlap-PCR to join parts of two different already cloned plasmids to form the full length HLA-A2β2α1α2murineα3 insert which was then cloned to pcDNA3.1 to form pcDNA3.1HLA-A2β2α1α2murineα3. The IgG2bFc region was added by restriction digestion and ligation to form the plasmid pcDNA3.1HLA-A2β2α1α2murineα3IgG2bFc. Sequencing was done and confirmed that the construction and cloning were successful. The plasmid pcDNA3.1HLA-A2β2α1α2murineα3IgG2bFc was then transfected by electroporation to J558L cells. Screening was done using G418 for 4 weeks in cell culture. We purified the dimer by affinity chromatography and then used ELISA to confirm expression of the dimer. The purified dimer was then used in 1-way MLC experiments where responder cells were mice cells expressing HLA-A24 molecules while stimulator cells were mice cells expressing HLA-A2 molecules. Cell samples were gated on anti-mouse CD3-PE/CY7, anti-mouse CD4-PE, and anti-mouse CD8-APC/CY7. Cell proliferation was analysed using CFSE. Our results showed that the proliferation of CD4+ T cells was inhibited in the presence of the dimer. This work is crucial for subsequent studies aiming to search for induction of donor specific tolerance.

Мақалада сайланушының басымдық индикаторы – өз елінің жарқын, бостандықта, байқуатты өмір сүрулеріне қам жасарлық, тағылымы мен прагматикалық тәсілдерінің шынайы тұрғыда көрініс беруі негізге алынған. Сайланушының көшбасылық құзыреттің әдіснамалық негізін, тағылымдылық негізін, ішкі интеллектуалды әлеуетінің алар орны айқындалған. «Көшбасы» мен «көшбасшы» ұғымдарының мәнін ашып, олардың өзара айырмашылықтары жіктеліп жазылған. Е. Семактың «Лидерство и руководство», О. И. Елизарованың «Организация производства и менеджмент», И. Молчановтың «Основы лидерства» еңбектеріне талдау жасай келе, сайланушының «ішкі қасиеттердің қалыптасуы» деген ұғым біздерге қозғаушы күш болып, оған «ішкі ойлау, интеллектуады әлеует» секілді ұғымдарды қосқанда ғана сайланушының көшбасылық құзыреттің алға ілгерілеуіне мүмкіндік беретіні баяндалады. Көшбасылық құзыреттің ілгерілеуі сайланушының сайлану кезеңінен әлдеқайда бұрынырақ өркендеуі қарастырылады.
