Published: November 2021

Efficient strategies for phytase production gained increasing importance as more applications require high amounts of phytase for the market. Four phytase-producing bacterial strains isolated from Malaysia’s hot springs were used in this study to determine the effect of nitrogen sources on phytase production. All of the strains were screened out by applying halozone method which shows all of the strains were definitely positive phytase producer. Phytase Screening Medium (PSM) with soybean extract as substrate was used as a cultivation medium. Optimised condition with 1.0 % (w/v) of glucose (as carbon source), pH 5.5 and 37°C temperature was applied. Yeast extract and peptone were used to identify optimum nitrogen source in maximum phytase production. Quantitative analysis observed were optical density, colony forming unit, pH values and phytase activity to identify the effect of nitrogen source in phytase production. The finding was bacterial strain L3 as the best producer in producing maximum phytase (0.2162 U/mL) with optimised condition using yeast extract as nitrogen source. Findings in this study proved that yeast extract act as the optimum nitrogen source which contribute to maximum phytase production as supported by previous studies. This study can provide an efficient strategy to produce maximum phytase as few studies stated that phytase is an application tool in functional food production that consists of myo-inositol phosphates that is believed to have important pharmacological effects.

Published: November 2021

Heavy metal exhibit toxic and persistent characteristics, can enter into the food chains and the ecosystem where they cause adverse impact on the biotic and abiotic components of ecosystem. Heavy metal pollution in Malaysia has become a major health concern for humans. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the level of cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) in the muscle and gill of fishes collected from the Sungai Kuantan and Sungai Riau. Field sampling was conducted between September and December 2017. Five different species of fishes: Barbonymus gonionotus (Lampam Jawa), B. schwanenfeldii( Lampam Sungai), Hampala macrolepidota(Sebarau), Chitala chitala (Belida), and Hemibagrus nemurus(Baung) were digested by using acid digestion method and analysed with Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS). Concentration of Cd among species were in order of: H. macrolepidota >B.gonionotus> B. schwanenfeldii> C.chitala> H.nemurus, whereas Ni level in fishes were: C. chitala> H. macrolepidota> B. gonionotus> H. nemurus> B. schwanenfeldii. Among all the species, H. macrolepidota from Sungai Kuantan had the highest Cd in both muscle (0.1761±0.0062¬mg/kg) and gills (0.2938±0.0066mg/kg) whereas the highest Ni level in muscle was noted in C. chitala from Sungai Kuantan with (0.1473±0.0755 mg/kg) and in gills of B.gonionotus (0.4544±0.0470mg/kg) from the same river respectively. It was obtained that there was a significant difference (p<0.05) of Cd in muscle between species. Ni concentration in fishes was below the permissible limit stipulated by World Health Organizations WHO (1985) and Food and Agriculture Organizations (2012) but the concentration of Cd was recorded high. However, it was still below the World Health Organization (WHO) 1985 and Malaysian Food Act (MFA) 1983.

Published: November 2021

Tridax procumbens and Asystasia gangetica are extensively prevalent and can be found from tropical Asia to Africa. Both plant samples were found to have a high nutritional value, especially in protein, and to be highly attractive to ruminants. Therefore, the objectives of the study were to measure and compare the nutrient composition of Tridax procumbens and Asystasia gangetica in terms of the nutritional value for ruminants. Both plants samples were collected at Besut campus, University of Sultan Zainal Abidin. The samples were then washed under tap water to remove foreign matter such as soil to prevent soil contamination in the analysis. Then, the samples were dried in a furnace below 60 - 70˚C and crushed prior to further analysis using proximate analysis. Seven parameters were measured using proximate analysis, which included dry matter (DM), moisture, ash, crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), ether extract (EE), and nitrogen-free extract (NFE). The findings in this study show that A. gangetica had significantly higher (p < 0.05) in dry matter (DM) (18.84%), crude protein (CP) (22.27%), and nitrogen-free extract (NFE) (50.25%). However, T. procumbens showed the highest nutrient in moisture (88.70%), ash (12.15%), crude fibre (CF) (25.01%), and ether extract (EE) with 3.71%. Thus, this study revealed that A. gangetica to have a higher potential to be used as an animal feed than T. procumbens.

Abstract

Previous researches have proven that the problem of frozen assets in Malaysia is increasing every year where the amount reached RM70 billion in year 2020. In recent days, hibah has been suggested as one of the important methods in distributing Muslims’ properties in Malaysia. In fact, this effort is seen as an attempt to facilitate the issue of frozen assets in Malaysia. This situation has inspired the authors to raise the awareness among public on the importance of using hibah as an alternative method in Islamic estate planning in Malaysia. This study discovers that social media plays a vital role in raising the awareness about hibah among Muslims as it can be easily published and accessed by the public. It is hoped that this study will be beneficial for the public to understand the role of social media in disseminating information about hibah as an alternative distribution method and to also able to cater the issue of frozen assets in Malaysia. This study recommends for a future study to be carried out by other researchers to tackle the issue of the role of social media influencers in promoting hibah. This study applies a doctrinal legal approach where the data collection is based on a library-based research as well as observations on YouTube videos. 

Keywords: hibah, Muslims, property, Syariah Court, social media

Published: November 2021

Afifuddin Muhajir's background concerning the Ideal State cannot be separated from the strengthening of the demands of some Indonesian Muslims who are members of the 212 movements to uphold NKRI Bersyariah. Starting from their success in tackling the political career of Basuki Cahaya Purnama (Ahok) in the 2017 DKI Pilkada. This movement strengthened in the 2019 Presidential election. They supported the Prabowo subianto-Sandiaga Uno pair who were considered more Islamic and capable of realizing their political ideals. Afifuddin Muhajir considered the Political Identity movement in the name of religion to be a very dilemma in Indonesian society which is multi-ethnic, ethnic, cultural, and religious. Politics as a product of Jurisprudence and Muamalah has space for ijtihad and has becomes a common consensus to build the life of the nation and state. This research is a Research Library, that examines Afifuddin Muhajir in his speech conferring the Honorary Doctorate at the Walisongo Islamic State University, Semarang, Central Java. This study focuses on the concept of the Ideal State according to Afifuddin Muhajir with sub-discussions, namely: Political Islam, Pancasila, NKRI, and the State Constitution. This discussion sub-section will answer the concept of an ideal state according to Afifuddin Muhajir from the point of view of Jurisprudence and Ushul Fiqh who are experts in their expertise.

Published: November 2021

This study investigates the mathematical modelling of heat generation/absorption effect on the convective flow of single wall carbon nanotube-copper (SWCNT-Cu)/water hybrid nanofluid towards a stagnation point past a stretching sheet with Newtonian heating. The set of governing equations in the form of non-linear partial differential equations are first transform using the similarity transformation technique then solved numerically by the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (RKF45) method in Maple software. The numerical solutions were obtained for the surface temperature, the heat transfer coefficient and the skin friction coefficient as well as the velocity and the temperature profiles. The features of the flow and heat transfer characteristics for various values of the stretching parameter, the conjugate parameter, the nanoparticle volume fraction parameter and the heat source/sink parameter are analyzed and discussed. It is found that effects of hybrid nanoparticles are more significant for lower stretching parameter and for large conjugate parameter values, as well as the heat generation/absorption.

Published: November 2021

Patients with unresectable biliary tract carcinomas (BTCs) have a poor prognosis with a median overall survival of fewer than 12 months following systemic chemotherapy. In recent years, the identification of distinct molecular alterations with corresponding targeted therapies is modifying this therapeutic algorithm. The aim of this review is to present an overview of targeted therapy for BTCs, describing published available data and potential future challenges in ongoing trials. From clinicaltrials.gov online database all ongoing trials for BTCs (any stage) was examinated in July 2021, and data regarding study design, disease characteristics and type of treatments were registered. Oncogenic-driven therapy (targeted therapy) was investigated in 67 trials. According to research, 15 ongoing trials (22.4%) are investigating fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor (FGFR)-inhibitors in BTCs. Three (18.7%) are open-label randomized multicenter phase 3 trials, 8 (50%) are single-arm phase two trials, and 4 (25%) are phase one studies. Twelve (17.9%) clinical trials dealt with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) 1/2 targeting therapy either in combination with cisplatin (Cis) and gemcitabine (Gem) as first-line treatment for BTCs or in monotherapy in patients with IDH1 mutant advanced malignancies, including cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Nine (13.4%) clinical trials tested human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) 2 targeting therapy. Four (44.4%) studies are phase I trials, two (22.2%) are phase I/II trials, and three (33.3%) phase II trials. Rare molecular alterations in BTCs, such as anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), c-ros oncogene1 receptor tyrosine kinase (ROS1), and v-RAF murine sarcoma viral oncogene homologue B1 (BRAF), are also under investigation in a few trials. Forty-four clinical trials (17.2%) are investigating not oncogenic-driven multitarget therapy like multireceptor tyrosin kinase inhibitors and antiangiogenetic agents. In conclusion, this review shows that BTCs management is experiencing important innovations, especially in biomarker-based patient selection and in the new emerging therapeutic approach. Many ongoing trials could answer questions regarding the role of molecular inhibitors leading to new therapeutic frontiers for molecular subcategories of BTCs.
Social acquisition context matters: Increased neural responses for native but not nonnative taboo words
Authors: Sendek Katherine , Herzmann Grit , Pfeifer Valeria , Lai Vicky Tzuyin
Published: November 2021

This study examined whether the context of acquisition of a word influences its visual recognition and subsequent processing. We utilized taboo words, whose meanings are typically acquired socially, to ensure that differences in processing were based on learned social taboo, rather than proficiency. American English-speaking participants made word/non-word decisions on American taboo (native dialect), British taboo (non-native dialect), positive, neutral, and pseudo- words while EEG was recorded. Taboo words were verified as taboo by both American and British English speakers in an independent norming survey. American taboo words showed a more positive amplitude of the Late Positive Complex (LPC), a neural correlate of emotionality and social processing, compared with British taboo words and all other word categories. Moreover, in an item-wise analysis, LPC amplitudes of American taboo words were positively correlated with their taboo ratings. British taboo words did not show this effect. This indicates that American participants, who had very limited social contact with British English, did not have the same perception of social threat from British taboo words as they had from American taboo words. These results point to the importance of social context of acquisition in establishing social-affective meaning in language.

Doğuşta Yaşam Beklentisini Etkileyen Faktörlerin Tahmini: E-7 Ülkeleri Örneği
Authors: TIRAŞ Hacı Hayrettin , ÖZBEK Sefa
Published: November 2021

Bir toplumun sağlık ve refah düzeyinin önemli bir göstergesi olan doğuşta yaşam beklentisi, belirli bir yılda doğan bir bireyin ortalama kaç yıl yaşayacağını ifade etmektedir. Aynı zamanda bireylerin ve toplumun ülkede veya bölgede sunulan sağlık hizmetlerinden faydalanma imkanıyla yakından ilgilidir. Doğuşta yaşam beklentisi insani kalkınmanın önemli bir parçası ve ülkelerin sağlık düzeylerinin karşılaştırılmasında sıklıkla kullanılan önemli bir ölçüttür. Yaşam beklentisindeki artışlar beşeri sermayeye önemli katkılar sağlarken ekonomik büyüme ve gelişmeyi de hızlandırmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı 1991-2019 döneminde E-7 ülkelerinde (Brezilya, Meksika, Hindistan, Çin, Endonezya, Türkiye ve Rusya) doğuşta yaşam beklentisine etki eden faktörlerin belirlenmesidir. Çalışmada bağımlı değişken olarak doğuşta yaşam beklentisi kullanılırken, kentleşme oranı, işsizlik oranı, kaba doğum oranı ve kişi başı GSYİH değişkenleri bağımsız değişkenleri oluşturmaktadır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiyi test etmek için Westerlund (2006) panel eş bütünleşme testi kullanılmıştır. Eşbütünleşme katsayıları ise Eberhardt ve Bond (2009) tarafından önerilen AMG testi ile tahmin edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, E-7 ülkelerinden oluşan panel sonuçlarının %5 düzeyinde istatistiki olarak anlamsız olduğu elde edilmiştir. Panel sonuçlarının istatistiki olarak anlamsız çıkması analiz edilen ülke grubunun heterojen olma özelliğinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Bununla birlikte ülke bazlı değerlendirmelerde E-7 ülkelerinde doğuşta yaşam beklentisine etki eden faktörlerin ülkelere göre değiştiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Askeri Harcamalar ve Ekonomik Büyüme: Orta Doğu Ülkeleri Açısından Benoit Hipotezinin Sınanması
Authors: ÇINAR İbrahim Tuğrul , ÜNSAL Yusuf
Published: November 2021

Askeri harcamalar, bir ülkenin güvenliği açısından vazgeçmesi oldukça zor bir harcama kalemidir. Askeri harcamaların gayri safi yurt içi hasıladan alması gereken pay ne olmalıdır? ve bu harcamaların ekonomik değişkenler üzerindeki pozitif ve negatif etkileri nelerdir? gibi sorular, askeri harcamalar konusunu önemli bir iktisadi problem haline getirmektedir. Askeri harcamalar ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyen literatüre bakıldığında söz konusu ilişkiye yönelik bir görüş birliğinin olmadığı görülmektedir. Ayrıca, bu konuda yapılan çalışmaların büyük çoğunluğunun doğrusallık ve simetri gibi varsayımlar üzerinden hareket ettikleri dikkati çekmektedir. Orta Doğu gibi çatışma ve terör faaliyetlerinin yoğun olduğu bir bölge için askeri harcamalar-büyüme ilişkisinin çok daha gerçekçi varsayımlar üzerinden incelenmesi önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada dokuz Orta Doğu ülkesi üzerinden askeri harcamaların ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisinin Asimetrik ARDL yaklaşımı kullanılarak incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu sayede, doğrusallık ve simetri gibi varsayımlar yerine daha esnek varsayımlar üzerinden analiz yapma imkanı elde edilmiştir. Çalışmada, yıllık askeri harcamaların gayri safi yurt içi hasıladan aldığı pay ve kişi başına düşen gayri safi yurt içi hasıla değişkenleri üzerinden analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre Orta Doğu ülkelerinde askeri harcamalar ve reel kişi başı GSYH arasında uzun dönemde pozitif ve asimetrik bir ilişki varken, kısa dönemde bu ilişki negatif ve simetrik yapıdadır. Uzun dönemli ilişkiyi belirleyen temel unsurun, askeri harcamaların artışından kaynaklanan dışsallıklardan ziyade, askeri harcamalara yönelik negatif şoklar nedeniyle ortaya çıktığı anlaşılmaktadır. Çalışma ayrıca, Orta Doğu’da askeri harcamaların konjonktürel bir yapı sergilediğine yönelik önceki çalışmalarda elde edilen bulguları desteklerken, Orta Doğu ülkelerinin konjonktürel hareketlere farklı duyarlılıkta tepki verdiklerini ortaya koyması açısından bu bulguları genişletmektedir.

Educación Religiosa Escolar en el sistema educativo público de Costa Rica
Authors: Fernández Picado Marco Antonio
Published: November 2021

El presente artículo describe cómo la asignatura de Educación Religiosa en el sistema educativo costarricense, al ser de naturaleza laica, puede contribuir para hacer práctico el Pacto Educativo Mundial en un mundo con diversidad religiosa y multicultural. Se inicia con una visión de la realidad donde se revisa el origen histórico de la asignatura en Costa Rica, ya que evidentemente tiene particularidades que la distinguen de otros modelos de Educación Religiosa en el resto de los países donde se imparte dicha asignatura. Luego se desarrolla algunos elementos descriptivos de la Educación Religiosa costarricense sustentado en referentes teóricos. De manera conclusiva se presentan algunas consideraciones que expresan que efectivamente la Educación Religiosa laica costarricense, está en consonancia con los principios del Pacto Educativo Mundial donde se propone el lenguaje de la mente, el corazón y las manos, y puede enriquecerse para seguir aportando a la formación del estudiantado desde una antropología cristiana abierta al diálogo ecuménico e interreligioso.

The Phoenix stellar stream has a low intrinsic dispersion in velocity and metallicity that implies the progenitor was probably a low-mass globular cluster. In this work we use Magellan/Magellan Inamori Kyocera Echelle (MIKE) high-dispersion spectroscopy of eight Phoenix stream red giants to confirm this scenario. In particular, we find negligible intrinsic scatter in metallicity (

) and a large peak-to-peak range in [Na/Fe] and [Al/Fe] abundance ratios, consistent with the light element abundance patterns seen in the most metal-poor globular clusters. However, unlike any other globular cluster, we also find an intrinsic spread in [Sr ii/Fe] spanning ∼1 dex, while [Ba ii/Fe] shows nearly no intrinsic spread (

). This abundance signature is best interpreted as slow-neutron-capture element production from a massive fast-rotating metal-poor star (15–20 M
⊙, v

crit = 0.4, [Fe/H] = −3.8). The low inferred cluster mass suggests the system would have been unable to retain supernovae ejecta, implying that any massive fast-rotating metal-poor star that enriched the interstellar medium must have formed and evolved before the globular cluster formed. Neutron-capture element production from asymptotic giant branch stars or magneto-rotational instabilities in core-collapse supernovae provide poor fits to the observations. We also report one Phoenix stream star to be a lithium-rich giant (A(Li) = 3.1 ± 0.1). At [Fe/H ] = −2.93; it is among the most metal-poor lithium-rich giants known.
The Bias from Hydrodynamic Simulations: Mapping Baryon Physics onto Dark Matter Fields

This paper investigates the hierarchy of baryon physics assembly bias relations obtained from state-of-the-art hydrodynamic simulations with respect to the underlying cosmic web spanned by the dark matter field. Using the Bias Assignment Method we find that nonlocal bias plays a central role. We classify the cosmic web based on the invariants of the curvature tensor defined not only by the gravitational potential, but especially by the overdensity, as small-scale clustering becomes important in this context. First, the gas density bias relation can be directly mapped onto the dark matter density field to high precision exploiting the strong correlation between them. In a second step, the neutral hydrogen is mapped based on the dark matter and the gas density fields. Finally, the temperature is mapped based on the previous quantities. This permits us to statistically reconstruct the baryon properties within the same simulated volume finding percent precision in the two-point statistics and compatible results in the three-point statistics, in general within 1σ, with respect to the reference simulation (with 5–6 orders of magnitude less computing time). This paves the path to establish the best setup for the construction of mocks probing the intergalactic medium for the generation of such key ingredients in the statistical analysis of large forthcoming missions such as DESI, Euclid, J-PAS, and WEAVE.
Late-time Hubble Space Telescope Observations of a Hydrogen-poor Superluminous Supernova Reveal the Power-law Decline of a Magnetar Central Engine

The light-curve diversity of hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) has kept open the possibility that multiple power sources account for the population. Specifically, pair-instability explosions (PISNe), which produce large masses of 56Ni, have been argued as the origin of some slowly-evolving SLSNe. Here we present detailed observations of SN 2016inl (=PS16fgt), a slowly-evolving SLSN at z = 0.3057, whose unusually red spectrum matches PS1-14bj, an SLSN with an exceptionally long rise time consistent with a PISN. Ground-based and Hubble Space Telescope data, spanning about 800 rest-frame days, reveal a significant light-curve flattening, similar to that seen in SN 2015bn and much slower than the decline rate expected from radioactive decay of 56Co. We therefore conclude that despite its slow evolution, SN 2016inl is inconsistent with a PISN. Instead, the light-curve evolution matches the expected power-law spindown of a magnetar central engine, but with a shallower power law (L ∝ t
−2.8) compared to that in SN 2015bn, indicating a possible difference in the γ-ray opacity between the two events. Analytical modeling indicates typical magnetar engine parameters, but one of the highest ejecta masses (≈20 M
⊙) inferred for an SLSN. Our results indicate that monitoring the late-time light-curve evolution of SLSNe provides a powerful diagnostic of their energy source.
A Fast and Accurate Analytic Method of Calculating Galaxy Two-point Correlation Functions
Authors: He Chong-Chong
Published: November 2021

We have developed a new analytic method to calculate the galaxy two-point correlation functions accurately and efficiently, applicable to surveys with finite, regular, and mask-free geometries. We have derived simple, accurate formulas of the normalized random–random pair counts RR as functions of the survey area dimensions. We have also suggested algorithms to compute the normalized data-random pair counts DR analytically. With all edge corrections fully accounted for analytically, our method computes RR and DR with perfect accuracy and zero variance in O(1) and O(N
g) time, respectively. We test our method on a galaxy catalog from the Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments (EAGLE) simulation. Our method calculates RR + DR at a speed 3–6 orders of magnitude faster than the brute-force Monte Carlo method and 2.5 orders of magnitude faster than tree-based algorithms. For a galaxy catalog with 10 million data points in a cube, this reduces the computation time to under 1 minute on a laptop. Our analytic method is favored over the traditional Monte Carlo method whenever applicable. Some applications in the study of correlation functions and power spectra in cosmological simulations and galaxy surveys are discussed. However, we recognize that its applicability is very limited for realistic surveys with masks, irregular shapes, and/or weighted patterns.
Geographic Differences in Rates of Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty in Young and Older Adults: A Comparison of 3 US States
Authors: Ward Michael M.
Published: November 2021

Objective

Rates of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) among Medicare beneficiaries (adults aged ≥ 65 yrs) vary across the United States, with higher rates in the Midwest and West than in the South. It is not known if a similar variation is present among younger patients, or if findings in Medicare reflect selective postponement of TKA in some regions.

Methods

Data on all primary TKA performed in adults aged ≥ 20 years in 3 states (Iowa, Utah, and Florida) in 2016 were obtained from state inpatient databases. Rates of TKA were computed based on population census data. Age-, sex-, and race-standardized rates were compared between Iowa and Florida, and between Utah and Florida, among adults aged 20–64 years and adults aged ≥ 65 years.

Results

There were 10,074, 8954, and 43,908 primary TKAs in Iowa, Utah, and Florida, respectively. Standardized rates were higher in Iowa and Utah than in Florida among both adults aged 20–64 years (Iowa:Florida rate ratio [RR] 1.89, 95% CI 1.79–1.99; Utah:Florida RR 2.31, 95% CI 2.18–2.45) and those aged ≥ 65 years (Iowa:Florida RR 1.41, 95% CI 1.35–1.47; Utah:Florida RR 1.77, 95% CI 1.70–1.85). Results were similar in sensitivity analyses limited to White patients, urban residents, and those with a diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis.

Conclusion

TKA rates were higher in Iowa and Utah than in Florida among both younger adults and those aged ≥ 65 years, indicating that geographic differences are not specific to elderly patients.
Communication and Competencies Across Undergraduate BSN Programs and Curricula
Authors: Wittenberg Elaine , Goldsmith Joy V. , Prince-Paul Maryjo , Beltran Emeline
Published: November 2021

Background:

An investigation was conducted to assess for and describe health communication instruction in entry-level baccalaureate (BSN) programs.

Method:

This cross-sectional descriptive study examined entry-level baccalaureate degree nursing programs in the United States. A three-step process was used: (1) online survey of directors of BSN programs, (2) online survey of simulation directors, and (3) analysis of course titles and descriptions.

Results:

Communication instruction remains primarily knowledge-based rather than skills-based. The findings of this study confirm there is ambiguity in defining the scope of communication instruction across curricula, as well as radical differences in the inclusion of communication in course descriptions and content.

Conclusion:

There is a need for clear definition of the scope of health communication skill development across BSN programs for communication behaviors to be measured and competency to be determined. A knowledge-building approach to communication instruction does not align with new plans for competency-based nursing education.

Telehealth in Nursing Education: A Systematic Review
Authors: Foster Melissa , Lioce Lori , Howell Adams Marsha
Published: November 2021

Background:

Telehealth encompasses a broad variety of technologies and methods to deliver virtual medical, health, and education services. This systematic review examined the research completed in the past 10 years to determine the prevailing state of the science related to nursing education and telehealth.

Method:

The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses was followed. The criteria for inclusion were nursing education research related to telehealth in an academic setting.

Results:

A total of 13 articles met the inclusion criteria. A lack of rigorous research design, valid and reliable instrumentation, and measurable outcomes were noted.

Conclusion:

This review found a lack of research focused on nursing education associated with telehealth. One article validating 14 nursing telehealth entrustable professional activities with 52 corresponding competencies was found to have the potential to guide curricular integration, measure outcomes, and build a program of telehealth nursing education research.
