Role of Lung Ultrasound for Diagnosis of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Afifa Mayisha , Ahmed Md Nasir Uddin , Ferdous Mehnaz , Hossain Md Mozaffer
Published: October 2022

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) necessitates rapid recognition for early intervention and favourable outcomes. The Berlin Definition may not be always helpful for ARDS diagnosis in critically ill patients, because of the inability to acquire adequate information from bedside chest X-rays. Lung ultrasound may be a reasonable alternative to chest X-ray for the identification of ARDS, but the effectiveness of lung ultrasound in ARDS diagnosis remains uncertain.
Objective: To explore the efficacy of lung ultrasound (LUS) for the diagnosis of ARDS in ICU.
Methods: This observational, cross-sectional study was conducted in the ICU, DMCH at the Department of Anaesthesia, Analgesia, Palliative, and Intensive Care Medicine from March 2017 to June 2019. Lung ultrasound was performed on acute hypoxic respiratory failure patients requiring mechanical ventilation. chest X-ray, arterial blood gas analysis, and echocardiography were done to fulfill the Berlin Definition. ARDS was diagnosed by the ‘CXR-based Berlin Definition’ and ‘LUS-based Berlin Definition’.
Results: A total of 141 patients were assessed. Their median age was 35 years. Primary diagnoses were sepsis, pulmonary oedema, pneumonia, and trauma. A total of 62 (43.97%) patients fulfilled ‘CXR-based Berlin Definition’ and a total of 69 (48.93%) patients were diagnosed as ARDS by ‘LUS-based Berlin Definition’. Considering the ‘CXR-based Berlin Definition’ as the reference standard, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of ‘LUS-based Berlin Definition’ were 90.3%, 83.5%, 81.2%, 91.7%, and 86.5% respectively.
Conclusion: Lung ultrasound can be an effective tool for the diagnosis of ARDS in the intensive care unit.

Authors: Kashfi Tasmia , Ahsan ASM Areef , Sultana Rozina
Published: October 2022

Background: ICU admission imposes great risk of nosocomial infections on the patients due to various invasive interventions. Patients treated in these units receive invasive procedures such as endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation which predispose to a nosocomial pneumonia of a special entity named as ‘Ventilator Associated Pneumonia’. Almost half of all the cases of hospital acquired pneumonia are due to VAP and about half of all antibiotics administration in ICU are for treatment of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia.
Objectives: objective of the current study was to study the local microbiological profile of ventilator associated pneumonia and their sensitivity pattern in the Critical Care department of BIRDEM general hospital.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Setting: ICU of an academic tertiary care hospital in the period of July 2017 to June 2018.
Methods: All consecutive patients who were intubated and mechanically ventilated for a period of at least 48 hours within the study period were evaluated for the selection criteria of the study. The included study participants were followed up daily for signs of development of VAP. Once VAP was suspected pertinent investigations were sent to confirm the diagnosis. Tracheal aspirate was collected using conventional specimen trap and aseptic endotracheal suctioning technique and sent for Gram staining and culture and sensitivity testing.
Results: In this study total 92 patients out of 625 intubated patients during the study period after fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected as study participants. 35 participants out of 92developed VAP. Only 1 (2.9 %) patient did not yield any microbial growth in the tracheal aspirate sample and 34 (97.2 %) participants had growth of organisms in their tracheal aspirate samples. Total growths of 45 organisms were found in respiratory secretions of 34 VAP patients. The commonest organism was Acinetobacter which was grown in 21 (46.7%) samples followed by Pseudomonas in 10 (22.2%) samples; Klebsiella in 8 (17.8%) samples; Staphylococcus aureus in 3 (6.7%) samples; Candida in 2 (4.4%) and Enterococcus in 1 sample (2.2%). Most of the bacteria grown in the tracheal aspirates of VAP positive participants were sensitive to less than three antibiotic classes.
Conclusion: Multidrug resistant organisms are mostly responsible for both early and late onset VAP in ICU.

Instructional Strategies Toward Real-Time Online Teaching at an Informal English Institution: An Explanatory Study on Instructional Strategies
Authors: Noviani Stella
Published: October 2022

Studies on teachers’ self-regulation are abundant and still posit strategic relevance for teacher professional development. Nevertheless, such studies focusing on online learning are yet underrepresented within informal education contexts. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the teachers’ self-regulation in implementing the instructional strategies in real-time online teaching. This study was undertaken in an English course in an informal institution during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the explanatory sequential method, the data were collected from sixteen teachers with different levels of classes in teaching, nine of whom are full-timers and seven part-timers. A set of questionnaires was adapted from TSRS (Teacher Self-Regulation Scale) by a five-point Likert scale to accommodate two variables, namely: (1) the strategies as self-regulated teachers, (2) the relation between the teacher’s self-regulation and instructional strategies in real-time online teaching. The other two open-ended questions were addressed to support the quantitative data. The findings demonstrate that the role of teacher’s self-regulation in teaching and implementing instructional strategies is essential in real-time online teaching. This concludes that the higher the self-regulation, the better it is for the mastery of instructional strategies and the positive output of real-time online teaching.
Potential Vocabulary Growth in EMI Programs: The Cases of Accounting and Civil Engineering in Taiwanese EFL context
Authors: Hsu Wenhua
Published: October 2022

English-medium instruction (EMI) has become a nationwide trend in Taiwan’s higher education institutions. Behind this rapid growth is the widespread belief that EMI provides English immersion, which facilitates incidental learning of the target language. However, not all EMI programs in EFL contexts provide the same immersion as those in the Anglosphere. English-medium university textbooks were therefore targeted as a research focus in that they offer non-English subject majors a sustainable channel for exposure to English in the EFL context. The researcher compiled two 4-million-token accounting and civil engineering textbook corpora and measured the vocabulary levels and amounts along the BNC/COCA word-frequency scale. Results show that accounting textbooks reached the 5th 1000-word-family level at 98% text coverage while civil engineering textbooks stretched to the 9th–10th 1000 level. Twelve repetitions were used as a benchmark for incidental learning. Only 1,479 word families beyond the first 3000 occurred 12+ times in the accounting corpus versus 3,397 word families in the civil engineering corpus. For EMI practitioners who are concerned with their students’ vocabulary development, the results may serve as a reference for future investigations into other disciplines.

Published: October 2022

Reading implies something complex which needs the students to experience, foresee, examine, and admit information based on their background of knowledge. It will be more complex if they lack of Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTS). HOTS improves reading comprehension and in consequence, the teachers must create a teaching and learning activities that encourage the implementation of HOTS by giving the students high questions found in a suitable textbook. This research was done in order to know the number of reading comprehension questions’ level between HOTS and LOTS. This research conducted using qualitative research approach and content analysis research design because this research focused on analyzing a textbook entitled “Bahasa Inggris” SMA/MA/SMK/MK for 12th grade students published by Ministry of Education and Culture in 2018. The result of this research found 142 reading comprehension questions in total and 83% of them are categorized as LOTS while 17% categorized as HOTS. It indicated that this textbook concentrated more on lower-level than higher-level thinking questions. In conclusion, the teacher must construct their own reading comprehension questions in order to fill the need of the students’ HOTS.
The Positive Effects of Problem-Based Learning Activities Toward Indonesian EFL Learners' Productive Language Skills
Authors: Wijaya Kristian Florensio
Published: October 2022

Abstract

With the rapid globalization occurring all around the globe, educational landscapes also underwent some dramatic shifts in terms of teaching methods, policy-makers, and school culture. One of those indispensable trajectories that need to be taken into account by EFL educators is the pedagogical approach. Since learners no longer learn directly from one-on-one interaction with their teachers, it has been high time for educationalists to supersede their teaching-centered with the student-centered learning approach. In Indonesian EFL productive language learning contexts; speaking and writing, it is strongly believed that problem-based learning activities will enable learners to be more confident, autonomous, spirited, and proficient speakers as well as writers. This present qualitative study was plied in the support of document analysis by integrating 30 prior problem-based learning studies held in our archipelago in order to encourage Indonesian ELT experts, practitioners, and policy-makers to start to incorporate this student-centered learning approach in their both speaking and writing learning vicinities. The obtained results revealed 3 positive L2 productive language-learning merits potentially promoted by problem-based learning activities namely: 1) Learners can be more productive L2 academicians, (2) Learners transformed into more high quality and autonomous L2 writers, and (3) Learners progressively became more confident as well as proficient L2 speakers. Following all of these 3 core beneficial productive L2 learning values, contextual, hands-on, and pleasurable problem-based learning design should be well established at the commencement of speaking and writing learning activities to disseminate more holistic learning outcomes progressively for learners.

Complexes [MII(2-pytz)Cl2] (M(II) = Pt, Pd; 2-pytz = 2-(tetrazol-1-yl)pyridine) were synthesised via direct interaction of the corresponding metal chlorides (K2PtCl4 or PdCl2) with 2-pytz under ambient conditions. RuCl3 does not react with 2-pytz under reflux in the protic media, while under reflux in N, N-dimethylformamide in the presence of LiCl, decomposition of the tetrazole cycle occurred leading to the formation of Ru(III)-coordinated N, N-dimethyl-N ′-(pyridin-2-yl)formimidamide derivative Li[RuIII(Py — N =C — NMe2)2Cl2]. The complex [Ru(2-pytz)(DMSO)3Cl2] ⋅ MeOH, where DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide, was synthesised by reacting a specially prepared precursor cis-[Ru(DMSO)4Cl2] with 2-pytz in methanol under reflux conditions. The complex [Ru(2-pytz)(DMSO)2Cl2] was synthesised by reacting cis-[Ru(DMSO)4Cl2] with 2-pytz in ethanol under reflux conditions. The resulting complexes were characterised by elemental analyses, electrospray ionisation mass-spectrometry with detection of positive and negative ions, infrared spectroscopy, 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and simultaneous thermal analysis. The structures of complexes [Pd(2-pytz)Cl2] and [Ru(2-pytz)(DMSO)3Cl2] ⋅ MeOH were investigated by single-crystal X-ray analysis. In the former, 2-pytz shows a N,N-chelating coordination via the pyridine ring N and the tetrazole ring N2 atoms. In the latter, 2-pytz coordinates as a monodentate ligand via the tetrazole ring N4 atom. According to 1H NMR spectroscopy data, in complex [Ru(2-pytz)(DMSO)2Cl2], 2-pytz coordinates as a N, N-chelating ligand via the pyridine ring N and the tetrazole ring N2 atoms.

The thermal protective ability of electrochemically deposited Ni and Ni – B coatings was investigated with the aim of their potential application in the production of lamella-type under-die coolers. It has been established that all studied nickelbased coatings retain thermal stability when heated in an air atmosphere in the temperature range from 500 to 700 °C. At a higher annealing temperature (800 °C), the coatings are oxidised (to the greatest extent the nickel coating) with the formation of an oxide layer up to 7–8 μm thick, the main product of oxidation is Ni0.8Cu0.2O. It is shown that the Ni – B coating with a boron content of 4.5 at. % exhibits the highest thermal stability due to the formation of a film of nickel borate (Ni3(BO3)2) on its surface during annealing. A thin continuous film of borate prevents the contact of atmospheric oxygen with the surface and, accordingly, the formation of mixed oxides of copper and nickel, which are a consequence of the thermal instability of nickel coatings during annealing.

Advances in technology in recent years increased the long-term survival rate of patients with chronic respiratory failure. As a result, the number of patients receiving long-term home mechanical ventilation (LTHV) support is increasing worldwide. The most important step in the management of patients with home mechanical ventilation (HMV) is to ensure adequate oxygenation and ventilation. Successful care at home requires the presence of trained caregivers and accessibility to medical devices and a care team. The aims of this study were, to describe the characteristics of children on LTHV in Istanbul, to compare the patients receiving non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and invasive ventilation, and to evaluate the frequency and risk factors of hospital admission in this population.
The Ecology of a Vernacular Qur’an: Rethinking Mūsā Bīgī’s Translation into Türki-Tatar
Authors: Sibgatullina Gulnaz
Published: October 2022

This paper contextualises Mūsā Bīgī’s infamous Qur’an translation of 1911–1912 against the background of ongoing socio-political processes in Russia’s Tatar Muslim community and transformations in the broader Muslim world. The production of a vernacular Qur’an in Türki-Tatar was not an original phenomenon – contrary to popular assumptions about the groundbreaking status of Mūsā Bīgī’s translation project – but rather the product of a specific translation ecology that existed in Muslim reformist circles in the early twentieth century. Linking Bīgī’s translation endeavour to the larger vernacular turn in non-Arabophone Muslim communities and the so-called ‘Biblical turn’ in Qur’anic exegesis that was in full swing by the end of the nineteenth century, this paper traces major shifts in Muslim approaches to literary translation, and in particular to the evolving status of the Qur’an as the scripture of Islam. The eclectic nature of the translation ecology – which was shaped by various trends within the Muslim world as well as by Western influences – also predetermined the strategies adopted by Bīgī when addressing the core issue of Qur’an translation, the doctrine of Qur’anic inimitability ( iʿjāz).
On Age, Authenticity, and the Ageing Subject
Authors: Gilleard Chris
Published: October 2022

This paper is concerned with the relationship between selves as subject po­sitions and the experience of aging. The existing psychological literature on “subjective” and “objective” age, it argues, has failed fully to engage with the idea of subjectivity, focusing instead upon what are ascribed and attributed identities. In contrast to treating age and ageing as some ob­ject-like characteristic potentially applicable to both things and persons, this inquiry explores the internal experience of ageing and whether such experience can realise an authentic subject position. In begins with an outline of De Beauvoir’s views of the “unrealisability” of such a subject position and proceeds to consider whether her views are the necessary consequence of the phenomenological existentialism of Sartre and Heide­gger that frames her thesis. Such foreclosure on De Beauvoir’s part, I con­clude, is not inevitable, and, ultimately, there is a choice between what may be termed a Sartrean or a De Beauvoir position on the possibility of realising an authentic subjectivity of age.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by neurons damage in the brain, and it poses a serious threat to human life and health. No efficient treatment is available, but early diagnosis, discovery, and intervention are still crucial, effective strategies. In this study, an electrochemical sensing platform based on a superwettable microdroplet array was developed to detect multiple AD biomarkers containing Aβ40, Aβ42, T-tau, and P-tau181 of blood. The platform integrated a superwettable substrate based on nanoAu-modified vertical graphene (VG@Au) into a working electrode, which was mainly used for droplet sample anchoring and electrochemical signal generation. In addition, an electrochemical micro-workstation was used for signals conditioning. This superwettable electrochemical sensing platform showed high sensitivity and a low detection limit due to its excellent characteristics such as large specific surface, remarkable electrical conductivity, and good biocompatibility. The detection limit for Aβ40, Aβ42, T-tau, and P-tau181 were 0.064, 0.012, 0.039, and 0.041 pg/ml, respectively. This study provides a promising method for the early diagnosis of AD.

Ionic engineering is exploited to substitute Bi cations in BiFe0.95Mn0.05O3 NPs (BFM) with rare-earth (RE) elements (Nd, Gd, and Dy). The sol-gel synthesized RE-NPs are tested for their magnetic hyperthermia potential. RE-dopants alter the morphology of BFM NPs from elliptical to rectangular to irregular hexagonal for Nd, Gd, and Dy doping, respectively. The RE-BFM NPs are ferroelectric and show larger piezoresponse than the pristine BFO NPs. There is an increase of the maximum magnetization at 300 K of BFM up to 550% by introducing Gd. In hyperthermia tests, 3 mg/ml dispersion of NPs in water and agar could increase the temperature of the dispersion up to ∼39°C under an applied AC magnetic field of 80 mT. Although Gd doping generates the highest increment in magnetization of BFM NPs, the Dy-BFM NPs show the best hyperthermia results. These findings show that RE-doped BFO NPs are promising for hyperthermia and other biomedical applications.
Chondrogenic differentiation of human bone marrow MSCs in osteochondral implants under kinematic mechanical load is dependent on the underlying osteo component

Chondrogenic models utilizing human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) are often simplistic, with a single cell type and the absence of mechanical stimulation. Considering the articulating joint as an organ it would be beneficial to include more complex stimulation. Within this study we applied clinically relevant kinematic load to biphasic constructs. In each case, the upper layer consisted of fibrin embedded hMSCs retained within an elastomeric polyurethane (PU) scaffold. These were randomly assigned to five base scaffolds, a cell-free fibrin PU base, viable bone, decellularized bone, 3D printed calcium phosphate or clinically used cement. This allowed the study of cross talk between viable bone and chondrogenically differentiating MSCs, while controlling for the change in stiffness of the base material. Data obtained showed that the bulk stiffness of the construct was not the defining factor in the response obtained, with viable and decellularized bone producing similar results to the softer PU base. However, the stiff synthetic materials led to reduced chondrogenesis and increased calcification in the upper MSC seeded layer. This demonstrates that the underlying base material must be considered when driving chondrogenesis of human cells using a clinically relevant loading protocol. It also indicates that the material used for bony reconstruction of osteochondral defects may influence subsequent chondrogenic potential.
