Authors: Yuan Yakun , Xiao Shuhu , Yan Bingfei , Shen Songtao , Dou Runtao , Xu Xiaohe
Published: September 2024

Hydrogels exhibit distinctive features. These properties make them suitable for applications across various fields, such as environment, energy, and medicine. In this paper, we conducted a comprehensive search on the CNKI and Web of Science databases spanning from 2000 to 2024. Using tools like CiteSpace and VosViewer, we visualized the evolution, composition, hot spots, and trends in hydrogels in the field of water treatment sustainability. The results show that from 2000 to 2024, there has been a gradual increase in the number of publications in this field. China leads in the total number of publications; although, it ranks fourth in average citation rate. Seven out of the top ten research institutions are based in China. Additionally, three journals, including the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, Chemical Engineering Journal and Carbohydrate Polymers, stand out, with a relatively high number of publications. The identified research hotspots include a range of preparation methods, including the freezing method and cross-linking method. Additionally, other preparation methods and the examination of water retention rate and adsorption isotherm are part of the research focus. The primary emphasis is on studying the adsorption of heavy metals, microplastics, and organic pollutants in dye wastewater. The main adsorption mechanisms investigated are chelation, electrostatic attraction, and functional group interaction. These findings have potential applications in water purification, seawater desalination, and atmospheric condensation. For the authorized patents in hydrogel-related fields, with the continuous improvement in innovation ability and the continuous enhancement of intellectual property protection awareness, the number of authorized patents continues to rise. China has seven of the top ten institutions in the number of patents granted, and the total number of patents granted in China ranks first in the world. Future work should focus on methods for synthesizing new pollutants and other target pollutants and on improving adsorption efficiency. Additionally, the development of cost-effective hydrogel materials with improved treatment efficacy is essential to advance sustainable practices in water treatment.

Authors: Pink Małgorzata , Niewiadomski Michał , Grochola Katarzyna , Gorczyca Anna
Published: September 2024

The objectives of this study were to assess the perception of a national certification programme for Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), specifically IPR (Integrated Plant Production). Another aim was to indicate the barriers of the implementation and the benefits of the practices within the IPR certification. The study was conducted using a survey questionnaire. The results were subjected to Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and an analysis of the correlations between demographic characteristics and the perception of the certificate among IPR-certified farmers. Among the motivations for implementing the certificate and perceived benefits, respondents revealed specific values: a high level of social and environmental awareness and responsibility, a relatively high pursuit of material security, and a strong pro-market attitude. Of these factors, the responsibility and awareness factor best described the population, while the material security factor was less significant. The demographic characteristics in the researched population were found to be statistically insignificant for the perception of the programme and presented values. The second part of the study revealed a number of phenomena observed in the context of implementing the certificate, including positive environmental changes and those related to relations with market partners. One of the hidden factors behind these changes was the time factor. In this context, it was suggested that the longer validity of the certificate may increase interest in it. Recommendations were also formulated regarding addressing the values declared by respondents as being key in implementing IPR certification and minimising the gap in expectations regarding the price and the price obtained for certified products.

Published: September 2024

Taiwan’s bed and breakfast (B&B) industry has experienced significant development in its nearly 25-year history, transforming from B&B run by retirees to mature service providers that adopt modern business and Internet technology skills in line with sustainable lodging development. This study explores the basic professional capabilities required for the sustainable development of B&B management, including social-emotional intelligence (EQ) capabilities and their impact on the quality of sustainable tourism services. The study used the K–S Z test to assess the importance of various abilities, including emotional intelligence abilities, financial management abilities, technical skills abilities and marketing abilities. The findings, validated with p-values less than 0.05, confirm the multi-disciplinary nature of sustainable tourism management skills in B&Bs and highlight their importance in sustainable service attitudes and strategic marketing. The identified capabilities are not only crucial for the sustainable development of the B&B industry, but are also crucial for contributing to the B&B’s national diplomacy and sustainable development status in global tourism. This study provides both novice and experienced B&B operators with actionable insights to improve their operational efficiency and achieve sustainable tourism development goals.
Technological Advancements in Global Supply Chains: A Comparative Analysis of Sustainability in Aerospace and Shipbuilding Industries
Authors: Ramirez-Peña Magdalena , Perez-Martinez Patricia , Otero-Mateo Manuel , Batista Moises
Published: September 2024

The decentralization of production processes organized in global supply chains has made it possible to connect the different levels through industrial digitalization, an evolution derived from the Fourth Industrial Revolution which incorporates enabling technologies. This context raises the need to analyze sectors that, due to the complexity of their projects, require more efficient supply chain management. Two clear examples of these sectors are aerospace and shipbuilding, which demand greater efficiency and sustainability in their operations. The main objective of this study is to compare these two sectors to evaluate the degree of sustainability of their supply chains and how Industry 4.0 technologies have contributed to achieving these goals. To perform this, the Delphi method will be used, a tool that collects information through expert opinions, which will provide key indicators for the comparison. The use of this method will facilitate the identification of convergences and divergences in the management of sustainability in both sectors. Through this analysis, the expected results will reflect the specific needs of each industry in terms of productivity and sustainability. Thus, the study will offer a comprehensive view of how the aerospace and shipbuilding sectors can move toward more sustainable and efficient production models, integrating Industry 4.0 concepts and improving the management of their global supply chains.
The Emerging Fusarium graminearum NA3 Population Produces High Levels of Mycotoxins in Wheat and Barley
Authors: Rhoades Nicholas A. , McCormick Susan P. , Vaughan Martha M. , Hao Guixia
Published: September 2024

Fusarium graminearum (Fg) is the primary causal agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat, barley, and other small grains in North America and worldwide. FHB results in yield reduction and contaminates grain with mycotoxins that pose threats to human and livestock health. Three genetically distinct North American (NA) populations of Fg have been characterized, which are generally associated with differences in their predominant trichothecene chemotype: NA1/15-acetyl-deoxynivalenol (15-ADON), NA2/3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol (3-ADON), and NA3/3α-acetoxy, 7,15-dihydroxy-12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-ene (NX-2). Recent studies found that the NA3 population had significantly less spread on point-inoculated wheat spikes than the NA1 and NA2 populations, and NX toxins are important for Fg spread and initial infection in wheat. In this follow-up study, to compare the effect of the three populations on initial infection and mycotoxin production on different hosts, we dip-inoculated spikes of the moderately resistant wheat cultivar Alsen and the susceptible barley cultivar Voyager using five strains from each population to evaluate disease, trichothecene mycotoxin accumulation, and trichothecene production per unit of fungal biomass. In dip-inoculated wheat spikes, the NA3 population produced significantly more trichothecene per unit of fungal biomass and accumulated higher levels of trichothecene per plant biomass than the NA1 and NA2 populations, regardless of the disease levels caused by the three populations. In contrast to its critical role during wheat infection, NX toxins had no effect on barley infection. In dip-inoculated barley, the NA1 population was more infectious and caused more severe FHB symptoms than the NA2 and NA3 populations; however, the NA3 population produced significantly higher toxin per unit of fungal biomass in infected barley tissues than the NA1 population. This study provides critical information on the emerging NA3 population, which produces high levels of NX toxin and poses a potential food safety concern.

Authors: Suliński Tomasz , Nowak Natalia , Szymański Jędrzej , Pniewski Jacek
Published: September 2024

In this study, we investigated lipid deposition and diffusion in silicone hydrogel (Si-Hy) contact lenses using confocal microscopy. Different Si-Hy lenses were analyzed to understand the interaction patterns of cholesterol with various lens materials. The results highlight significant differences in the deposition and diffusion of lipids through the lenses, revealing that some materials, such as comfilcon A, allow lipids to diffuse more freely compared to others, such as samfilcon A, which provides a greater barrier. The study also observed different morphology and movement of lipid agglomerates across the lenses and above it surfaces. These findings contribute to the understanding of lipid–lens interaction, which is important for the development of lenses with improved comfort and functionality. The research highlights the importance of considering lipid interactions in the design and selection of Si-Hy contact lenses to enhance wearer comfort and lens performance.
Effects of Deficit-Regulated Irrigation on Root-Growth Dynamics and Water-Use Efficiency of Winter Wheat in a Semi-Arid Area
Authors: Wang Ziqian , Zhang Bo , Li Jiahao , Lian Shihao , Zhang Jinshan , Shi Shubing
Published: September 2024

Water management is critical for wheat production under extreme drought conditions, and the mechanisms by which root dynamics and soil water utilization affect wheat yield are uncertain. This study was conducted in 2023–2024 under a mesophilic semi-arid climate with a two-factor partitioned experimental design, aiming to assess the response of different irrigation amounts in winter wheat crops on root growth and development, soil water utilization, and yields in different soil horizons. The results showed that variety and irrigation volume had significant effects on the spatial and temporal distribution of root and yield components, with irrigation volume having the greatest effect on yield. Compared with CK, deficit-regulated irrigation significantly promoted root penetration to deeper layers and delayed root senescence. DRWD, RLD, RSA, and RV decreased gradually with increasing soil depth, and the peaks of RLD, RSA, and RV appeared at the tassel to flowering stage, respectively; and under deficit-regulated irrigation, the contribution of the A2W4 treatment to stable yield was greater. Therefore, A2W4 is an effective water-saving irrigation method to improve grain yield and water-use efficiency under deficit-regulated irrigation.
Optimal Control of Vehicle Path Tracking Problem
Authors: Liu Yingjie , Cui Dawei
Published: September 2024

In response to the problem of low optimization efficiency and low tracking accuracy in vehicle path tracking, a comprehensive optimization method is established based on the 3-DOF vehicle motion model. The outer layer adopts the adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO) method for parameter optimization, and improves the adaptive inertia weight and adaptive particle exploration rate to improve the convergence efficiency and global search ability of the population. The inner layer adopts the segmented Gaussian pseudospectral method (GPM) to optimize the vehicle motion trajectory, and sets continuity constraints to ensure the continuity of the state and control variables at the segmentation points. The inner optimization results are fed back to the outer layer as a reference for the population updating fitness, achieving double-layer iterative optimization. The simulation results show that the proposed APSO-GPM optimization method can effectively solve the vehicle path tracking problem, with a high solving efficiency and stronger global optimization ability.
Spatial Evaluation and Modelling of Fire Stations Layout to Access Forest Fires by Roads (Case Study: Krasnoyarsk Region, Russia)
Authors: Podolskaia Ekaterina , Ershov Dmitry , Kovganko Konstantin
Published: September 2024

Regional forest fire protection services on the ground usually have a fire station infrastructure with firefighting vehicles capable of moving by public and forest roads. The location of fire stations is a subject of evaluation on the regional scale and a matter of constant research interest. Infrastructure and transport accessibility, as well as the spatial location of fire stations worldwide and in Russia, were discussed. Location-Allocation ArcGIS tool and the access routes database for Krasnoyarsk region (archived data of 2002-2022 forest fires detected by MODIS containing 60637 records) were the base of methodology to evaluate fire station layout. The settlement dataset from Open Street Map (OSM) was used to analyze new locations as candidates for a fire station. Standard Deviational Ellipse ArcGIS tool was applied to define an optimal area for the current fire station from which routes to the nearest fires are built. OSM settlements inside of 1-sd area of the ellipse were used to generate the candidate list of settlements to find new locations instead of the current fire station. Results have been evaluated for 3 groups of access routes: 3 hours and less, more than 3 hours, and access routes of any duration according to the Russian forestry rules. The proposed fire station layout has improved forest fire accessibility with OSM candidates for 39 stations; 20 of 59 remain spatially unchanged. Total regional forest fire accessibility changed from the current to the proposed layout in absolute values from 47331 to 48905 fires. Analysis of 39 relocated stations showed that the new fire station layout is more optimal than the current one because it provides access to an additional 20 % of forest fires with a decrease in average weighted time to reach them by 30 %. The described methodology could make an emergency response during a fire-hazardous period more effective.
Comparative population dynamics of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) populations in two similar closely adjacent warm-water Texas reservoirs
Authors: Locklin Jason L. , Moore Josiah S. , McMahon Robert F.
Published: September 2024

Zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) population dynamics were recorded between 2 September 2019 and 26 September 2020 at marina sites in each of two adjacent central Texas water bodies, Belton (BL) and Stillhouse Hollow (SHL) Lakes infested in 2013 and 2016, respectively. Lake water temperatures were insignificantly different while dissolved oxygen, pH and Secchi Disk depths were slightly higher in SHL. Veliger densities in both populations peaked in late Fall 2019 with veligers becoming absent by January 2020. Veliger densities again peaked in May-August 2020. These fall and spring spawning periods resulted in the presence of fall and spring mussel settlement cohorts. Mussel densities on settlement plates were greater at SHL than BL. At both sites, Fall 2019 cohorts had a lifespan of approximately one year or less, experiencing mass mortality during peak water temperatures in late summer/early fall the year after initial cohort settlement. Shell growth rates of the Spring 2020 BL and SHL cohorts were 91.4 and 67.3 µm/day, over a 126 day growing period, respectively, falling within the range reported for mussel populations in other southwestern US water bodies. Rapid shell growth and maturation allowed initiation of spawning earlier than zebra mussel populations in cooler, higher latitudes. Rapid growth and early maturity allows southwestern US zebra mussel populations to rapidly attain peak densities after infestation followed by population declines as recorded in BL. That southwestern mussel populations rapidly attain post invasion peak densities allows little time for water using facilities to develop effective, environmentally acceptable means of protecting infrastructure from mussel fouling. Thus, plans to prevent/minimize mussel fouling should be made in advance of invasion. Similarly, water body managers should develop and implement plans to minimize invasion likelihood and for rapid response before invasion occurs.

Published: September 2024

Silver carp, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, escaped into the Lower Mississippi River (LMR) over 50 years ago, established reproductive populations, and spread across much of the Mississippi River Basin. Demographic rates of silver carp are needed to inform decisions on control and management of this invasive species, but have not been published for the LMR. The purpose of this paper is to report silver carp age and growth estimates from fish collected in riverine (mainstem) and backwater (lake) habitats in the LMR during the period 2011–2019, to compare our results with populations from other geographic areas in the Upper Mississippi River drainage, and to evaluate latitudinal and habitat differences in demographic parameters. Silver carp gained weight with increasing length similarly throughout the lower and upper basin. However, annual growth rates were higher in the LMR compared to northern rivers including the Illinois, Wabash, Missouri, and Middle Mississippi rivers. In the LMR, regression analyses demonstrated that females were heavier in lakes than males or females in the mainstem and that females in lakes had the lowest instantaneous mortality (-0.186). Maximum age was 8 and 10 years for females and males, respectively. The largest male weighed 13.8 kg with a total length of 1022 mm, and was 7 years old. The largest female weighed 16.0 kg with a total length of 1034 mm TL, and was 7 years old. Rapid growth rates, larger sizes, and lower mortality in the LMR, in combination with limited commercial fishing, extensive river-floodplain connectivity, and vast amounts of spawning areas, ensure that LMR silver carp will continue to act as a source of fast-growing invasive individuals for other reaches and other rivers throughout the Mississippi River Basin.
Effects of temperature and N:P ratio on the invasion success of the cyanobacterium Raphidiopsis raciborskii
Authors: Meriggi Carlotta , Johnson Richard K. , Laugen Ane T. , Drakare Stina
Published: September 2024

The tropical invasive freshwater cyanobacterium Raphidiopsis raciborskii, first recorded in Central Europe about two decades ago, is now a relatively widespread species, expanding its geographic range. Currently, however, there are no records of this species in Sweden. As a bloom-forming and toxin-producing species, future population growths of R. raciborskii could negatively affect local biodiversity and ecosystem services. Hence, there is an urgent need to understand the factors controlling its capability of establishment in Northern European lakes. We performed a laboratory experiment to study the competitive success of R. raciborskii when interacting with other phytoplankton from major taxonomic groups typically found in Scandinavian lakes (diatoms, green algae, and cyanobacteria). The experimental settings included three temperature conditions (17; 22; 26 °C) and three different nutrient conditions (N:P ratios 8:1; 16:1; 32:1). The experiment was performed in a semi-continuous culture setup to test the invasion success of R. raciborskii. Raphidiopsis raciborskii did not become the dominant species in any of the tested conditions; however, it was able to grow and maintain its biomass in all treatments, also in relatively low temperature (17 °C). Temperature played an important role in the phytoplankton community composition, especially for the cyanobacterial group. Raphidiopsis raciborskii was more successful than Planktothrix agardhii, but less dominant than Microcystis aeruginosa. Temperature is thus important in determining the potential survival and settlement of the invasive R. raciborskii in lakes.
Modeling the dispersal of the cryptogenic alga Chondria tumulosa (Rhodophyta, Ceramiales) in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument
Authors: Fumo James T. , Powell Brian S. , Kosaki Randall K. , Sherwood Alison R.
Published: September 2024

The cryptogenic nuisance alga Chondria tumulosa was first observed in 2016 at Manawai (Pearl and Hermes Atoll) in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. It has since spread across the atoll, growing in thick mats and smothering benthic habitat. In September 2021 the species was observed at Kuaihelani (Midway Atoll), ~130 km to the northwest. Due to its growth habit and recent spread, considerable concern has been raised and management of the species may be warranted. We used publicly available oceanographic data and the Connectivity Modeling System software to assess how the potential for successful dispersal of C. tumulosa is affected by particle properties and oceanographic conditions. We found the likelihood of successful transit to be linked to particle density, oceanographic conditions at the time of release, and release location. Further modeling explicitly targeted the capacity of both reproductive tetraspores as well as drifting fragments to disperse. Model results indicated tetraspores of C. tumulosa are unlikely to survive the transit from Manawai to Kuaihelani, as none arrived at Kuaihelani above the depth limit of the species and those arriving below successfully settled at a rate of only 0.02%. In contrast, fragments modeled as rafting on marine flotsam such as macroalgae and marine debris settled at a rate of 3.85%. Rafting fragments also settled ~600 km further to the southeast (towards the Main Hawaiian Islands) than tetraspores. This study identified oceanographic conditions and particle properties likely to aid dispersal of C. tumulosa to Kuaihelani and suggests that fragments rafting on marine flotsam may accelerate its spread.
Experiences of using the Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment (ReSPECT) in English general practice: a qualitative study among key primary health and social care professionals, patients, and their relatives
Authors: Slowther Anne-Marie , Bernstein Celia Janine , Huxley Caroline , Harlock Jenny , Eli Karin , Mann Claire , Spencer Rachel , Dale Jeremy , Gill Paramjit , Blanchard Hazel , Underwood Martin , Griffiths Frances
Published: September 2024

Background

The Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment (ReSPECT) has been implemented in many areas of the UK. It is unclear how ReSPECT is used in primary and community care settings.

Aim

To investigate how the ReSPECT process is understood and experienced in the community by clinicians, social care staff, patients, their relatives, and identify obstacles and enablers to its implementation.

Design and setting

A qualitative interview and focus-group study across 13 general practices in three areas of England, between January and December 2022.

Method

We interviewed GPs, specialist nurses, patients and relatives, and senior care home staff. Focus groups were conducted with community nurses, paramedics, and home care workers. Questions focused on understanding experiences of, and engagement with, ReSPECT. We analysed data using thematic analysis and a coding framework drawn from normalisation process theory.

Results

Participants includedn= 21 GPs,n= 5 specialist nurses,n= 9 patients,n= 7 relatives,n= 31 care home staff,n= 9 community nurses,n= 7 home care workers, andn= 2 paramedics. Participants supported ReSPECT, regarding it as a tool to facilitate person-centred care. GPs faced challenges in timing the introduction of ReSPECT and ensuring sufficient time to complete plans with patients. ReSPECT conversations worked best when there was a trusting relationship between the clinician and the patient (and their family). Anticipating future illness trajectories was difficult, yet plans were rarely reviewed. Interpreting recommendations in emergencies was challenging.

Conclusion

The ReSPECT process has not translated as well as expected in the community setting. A revised approach is needed to address the challenges of implementation in this context.
Antipsychotic management in general practice: serial cross-sectional study (2011–2020)
Authors: Woodall Alan , Gampel Alex , Walker Lauren E , Mair Frances S , Sheard Sally , Symon Pyers , Buchan Iain
Published: September 2024

Background

Long-term use of antipsychotics confers increased risk of cardiometabolic disease. Ongoing need should be reviewed regularly by psychiatrists.

Aim

To explore trends in antipsychotic management in general practice, and the proportions of patients prescribed antipsychotics receiving psychiatrist review.

Design and setting

Serial cross-sectional study using linked general practice and hospital data in Wales (2011–2020).

Method

Participants were adults (aged ≥18 years) registered with general practices in Wales. Outcome measures were prevalence of patients receiving ≥6 antipsychotic prescriptions annually, the proportion of patients prescribed antipsychotics receiving annual psychiatrist review, and the proportion of patients prescribed antipsychotics who were registered on the UK serious mental illness, depression, and/or dementia registers, or not on any of these registers.

Results

Prevalence of adults prescribed long-term antipsychotics increased from 1.055% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.041 to 1.069) in 2011 to 1.448% (95% CI = 1.432 to 1.464) in 2020. The proportion receiving annual psychiatrist review decreased from 59.6% (95% CI = 58.9 to 60.4) in 2011 to 52.0% (95% CI = 51.4 to 52.7) in 2020. The proportion of overall antipsychotic use prescribed to patients on the serious mental illness register decreased from 50.0% (95% CI = 49.4 to 50.7) in 2011 to 43.6% (95% CI = 43.0 to 44.1) by 2020.

Conclusion

Prevalence of long-term antipsychotic use is increasing. More patients are managed by GPs without psychiatrist review and are not on monitored disease registers; they thus may be less likely to undergo cardiometabolic monitoring and miss opportunities to optimise or deprescribe antipsychotics. These trends pose risks for patients and need to be addressed urgently.
CULTURA DO ESTUPRO

Published: September 2024

Este artigo tem por objetivo apontar sentidos sobre cultura do estupro entre estudantes de cursos de graduação (licenciatura) e pós-graduação de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES) do Estado do Paraná. Esta cultura é compreendida como fortemente enraizada nos discursos que sustentam a desigualdade de gênero. Assim, foram acessados e analisados alguns discursos, constituídos por meio de entrevistas e postagens em rede social, considerando a importância teórico-metodológica da Análise de Discurso de vertente franco-brasileira nesse processo. Percebe-se que esses discursos se constituem entre a estabilização e o deslizamento, produzindo efeitos de sentido diversos, como sentidos de silenciamento, de culpabilização, de estruturação das relações de poder, de objetificação dos corpos e de resistência. Compreender como circulam os sentidos em instituições como as de Ensino Superior favorece um tensionamento necessário, que catalisa ações coletivas institucionalizadas em prol de uma ressignificação do conjunto de relações que estruturam e fortalecem a cultura do estupro em nossa sociedade.

Understanding Consumer Belief of Locavorism on Food Consumption at Farmers’ Markets: Implications for Extension Professionals
Authors: Lee Youngdeok , Sneed Christopher , Childs Michelle
Published: September 2024

Using an intercept method at two local farmers’ markets (n= 192), this study found the notion that local foods taste better and are more nutritious (i.e., lionization) and the notion that buying locally supports and contributes to the local economy and community (i.e., communization), positively influences consumers’ attitude towards shopping at their local farmers’ market. This positive attitude subsequently influences consumer purchase behavior. Extension professionals can utilize these data-driven results to aid in effective farmers’ market promotion by communicating micro-benefits (e.g., nutrition, taste) and macro-benefits (e.g., economic impact) to potential and current farmers’ market consumers.
How Does Your Garden Grow? Development of a Calculator to Evaluate the Economic and Dietary Impact of Edible Gardens
Authors: Sanchez Sofia , Funderburk Katie , Reznicek Erin , Parmer Sondra
Published: September 2024

Edible gardens can increase fruit and vegetable availability and access. Weighing produce is a method to evaluate gardens, however there are limited methods that translate garden yields to dietary yields and that document Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – Education (SNAP-Ed) garden yields. We developed a Garden Harvest Calculator to evaluate edible garden economic and dietary impact. Over three spring-to-summer growing seasons, 12 – 18 gardens produced 6,499 pounds of produce worth $11,606.95. This equates to 24,922 cups, enough for 4,984 adults to meet dietary recommendations. SNAP-Ed supported gardens may positively contribute to dietary needs while reducing barriers to food access.
Invasive Species Common Names: Working Towards More Inclusive Invasive Species Education and Outreach
Authors: Weber Megan , Gupta Angela , Phelps Nicholas , Jensen Douglas , Venette Robert
Published: September 2024

Invasive species harm natural and managed ecosystems. Awareness and management of these species depends on effective education and outreach. Traditional common names, including those with geographic references, for many invasive pests may perpetuate slanderous terms or stigmatize people from that place. To create more inclusive invasive species educational materials, the University of Minnesota Extension’s Invasive Species Community of Practice developed guidelines for selection of common names. Suggested names were shared with others involved in invasive species communications, leading to broader adoption. These guidelines may be useful to others who struggle to find descriptive, non-alienating common names for invasive species.

Published: September 2024

Not all Extension professionals enter the workplace with knowledge and experience in program development. Some may possess extensive expertise in their subject matter but need additional training in teaching-related competencies for adult or youth audiences. Even educators with extensive skill and experience benefit from thoughtful and intentional program planning and implementation design. This article describes the Program Instructional Profile (PIP), created for Extension professionals to design and outline the program delivery processes. We explain how to use the PIP and provide insight into the benefits and challenges of the uses for program development and implementation purposes.
OLAF: An Assessment of Online Learning Outcomes Among Forestry and Natural Resource Management University Students
Authors: Merry Krista , Bettinger Pete , Lee Taeyoon
Published: September 2024

Online learning has become an important advance in education in the last decade. We developed an online learning system related to land and tree measurements. University students were given pre- and post-exposure surveys for two courses offered within the online system. Surveys were designed to assess whether the knowledge level and confidence of students increased through interaction with the online system. A final assessment was conducted to understand user experiences with the online technology. Statistically significant increases in knowledge and confidence concerning land measurement concepts and tree measurement topics were evident among survey participants. Survey participants agreed that the course functioned properly, that graphics and images within the courses were useful, and that using the system prior to in-person instruction helped students better understand concepts.

Published: September 2024

The Tri-Learner model of Extension Collaboration offers an innovative approach to address community needs and advance research by convening faculty from academic research, statewide Extension, and community-embedded Extension. This article describes development of a new Tri-Learner Model through an early childhood resilience project, with data from 32 participants. We present four key factors for the model’s success: First, ensure that research and application are responsive to community needs rather than University-driven. Second, establish trusting, reciprocal relationships. Third, equally value each team member’s knowledge and skills. Finally, leverage collaborative University structures and/or funding to foster reciprocal partnerships to maximize research impacts.

Authors: Deniz Yusuf , Metin Hamdi
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Objective: Drug poisoning is the most common form of poisoning in children, and it is a situation that can lead to fatal consequences, but can be prevented if appropriate precautions are taken. Children are the future of a society, so drug poisoning poses an important public health problem. Factors such as high-dose drug combinations, misuse, poor storage conditions, and children's access to drugs can all contribute to drug intoxication. The aim of this study is to understand the effects of drug poisoning on children, to identify the characteristics of these children and to raise awareness about the measures that can be taken to prevent this problem.
Material and Methods: This study was conducted retrospectively on 100 patients who applied to the pediatric emergency department of Karabuk University Faculty of Medicine Education and Research Hospital with the complaints of drug use and drug exposure.
Results: It was observed that the mean age of the patients was 7.65±6.51 years, 58% of them were girls and 71% of them accidentally drank drugs. When the drugs consumed by the patients were examined, it was determined that the analgesic-anti-inflammatory (Paracetemol) group was the highest with 18%. When the hospitalization status of the patients was examined, it was seen that 22% of them were not hospitalized. It was observed that 56% of the patients experienced symptoms, and the most common symptom was nausea and vomiting with 33%. No mortality was observed in any of the patients.
Conclusion: Study results show that children often take drugs accidentally. The fact that analgesic-antipyretic group drugs are mostly encountered suggests that it is a predictable result of their widespread use in the community. In addition, the high hospitalization rate with 78% unfortunately leads to an extra expenditure of our limited resources for a condition that could have been prevented. For this reason, establishing an effective public health policy and taking preventive measures for commonly used drugs can reduce the frequency of poisonings. We think that our findings will guide clinicians.

The Relationship Between Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring and Uric Acid Level in Hypertensive Patients
Authors: Durak Musa İlker
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Introduction: Serum uric acid (SUA) is the end product of purine metabolism. Excessive SUA production or decreased renal excretion causes hyperuricemia. Elevated SUA is known to be a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. It was reported that blood pressure (BP) was higher in patients with elevated uric acid and a decrease in BP was observed after the administration of uric acid-lowering drugs.
Methods: We examined the relationship between SUA levels and hypertension in patients admitted to our hospital with hypertension (HT) and undergoing ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). A total of 310 patients were included in the study. SUA levels were determined using an enzymatic colorimetric autoanalyzer. ABPM was performed using noninvasive multitasking CR recorders (TM2425; A&D, Tokyo, Japan).
Results: Hyperuricemia was observed in 49.6% of the patients. Daytime, nocturnal, and 24-hour diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were significantly higher in patients with hyperuricemia (p=0.021, p=0.029, and p=0.005, respectively). Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and nocturnal MAP values were higher in patients with hyperuricemia (p=0.022 and p=0.003, respectively). The rate of patients with dipper HT was lower in patients with hyperuricemia than those without hyperuricemia (p=0.041). The rate of reverse-dipper HT was found to be higher in patients with hyperuricemia compared to those without hyperuricemia (p=0.022).
Conclusion: Elevated uric acid was correlated with DBP, reverse HT, and MAP. Measurement of SUA could provide a valuable aid for the assessment and reduction of cardiovascular risk. Further studies are required to assess the effect of lowering uric acid on the reduction of nocturnal BP and DBP.

Double-Helix Multilayered Tribo-Metamaterials (DH-MTMs) for Self-Powered Wireless Monitoring Systems
Authors: Li Wentao , Yang Peng , Jiao Pengcheng
Published: September 2024

Real-time monitoring of underwater structures is difficult but critical to prevent marine accidents while ensuring structural safety. Here, we report the all-in-one 3-dimensional printed double-helix multilayered tribo-metamaterials (DH-MTMs) with standardized preparation and higher monitoring accuracy. Taking advantage of the double-helix structure and the ability to monitor multienvironmental loads, the DH-MTMs are applied for real-time self-powered wireless monitoring of structural response and marine wave conditions under multiple environments. We investigate the electrical characteristics of the DH-MTMs under the cyclic motions in the horizontal direction, horizontal–vertical coupling, and circular direction, respectively. Next, the DH-MTMs are integrated into the wireless monitoring systems to monitor the marine structures and wave velocity and height under the surface and underwater conditions. Experimental results show that the reported wireless monitoring systems accurately capture the displacement of underwater structures at the centimeter level and the water flow with the velocity of less than 0.1 m/s. DH-MTM functions as a sensor on its own or as a structural component for self-sensing marine structures, which provide novel design guidance for active real-time wireless monitoring of underwater structures in smart ocean.
ТЕМА ДИТИНСТВА ЯК ЗАСОБУ ЗДОБУТТЯ ЕКЗИСТЕНЦІАЛЬНОГО ДОСВІДУ В РОМАНІ Т. МОРРІСОН «БОЖЕ, БЕРЕЖИ МОЄ ДИТЯ»
Authors: Bondar N.
Published: September 2024

У романі розглядається тема дитинства як засобу здобуття екзистенціального досвіду. Мета статті – аналіз теми дитинства та виховання як шляхи формування особистості, а також визначення функції магічного реалізму у романі “Боже, бережи моє дитя”. Цей об’єкт дослідження обраний тому, що саме через нього можна осягнути специфіку психології афроамериканської дитини та філософський аспект твору. У роботі використано комплексну дослідницьку методологію: синтез порівняльно-історичного методу, цілісного аналізу, елементи герменевтичного методу. Враховувалися постструктуралістські підходи, а також техніка “close reading”. У статті визначено роль теми дитинства у формуванні особистості “з протилежності”, тобто всупереч сучасній негативній ситуації. Доведено, що ця основна ідея розкривається через головні та другорядні образи дітей із різних сімей та з різними принципами виховання, через архетипні алюзії, через фрагментарність та багатоплановість композиції. Виявлено, що трагедія головної героїні полягає в тому, що вона народилася надто чорною для соціуму, в якому живе. Це об’єктивна даність, що визначає специфіку психології афроамериканської дитини, яка не залежить від самої героїні і яку вона не може виправити. Проте не всі життєві труднощі можна подолати, усвідомивши свій шлях. Але, незважаючи на всі перипетії долі, дитячі травми та нещастя, головна героїня роману перемагає внутрішній страх перед минулим, усвідомлює свою провину і таким чином стає сильною особистістю, що сформувалася наперекір всьому. “Другий шанс” визначення свого життєвого шляху персонаж отримує саме за рахунок використання автором елемента магічного реалізму. Показано, що проблемність прояву соціальної поведінки індивідуума обумовлена тим, що її соціокультурна трансформація відбувається в умовах серйозних особистісних та соціальних протиріч та перешкод об’єктивного та суб’єктивного характеру.
