Authors: Kordsmeier Julia A. , Ty Williams Christopher , Anthamatten Angelina 
Published: February 2020

BackgroundThe integration of oral health into primary care is often limited, despite its significant connection with many diseases, including diabetes mellitus (DM).ObjectiveThis project aimed to develop, implement, and evaluate an oral health education program for medical assistants (MAs) to increase oral health knowledge and enhance practice using standardized oral health screening questions for patients with DM.MethodsA nurse practitioner-led oral health program was implemented. Medical assistants completed a pre-test and post-test to assess oral health knowledge, a pre-survey and post-survey to assess likelihood of performing screening questions, and a post-implementation survey to assess barriers.ResultsAnalyses of pre-test and post-test results using the Wilcoxon matched pairs signed rank test (two-tailed) showed a significant increase in correct answers on the post-test (W = 0, N = 8, p ≤ 0.05), with the mean score increasing from 81% to 95%. In addition, the MAs' likelihood of asking screening questions increased and 62.5% reported no barriers to implementation after 1 week.ConclusionsAll participants demonstrated an increase in knowledge and likelihood of using screening questions.Implications for NursingAn oral health program using a team approach to equip MAs with training offers a practical method to incorporate evidence-based recommendations into primary care.

Authors: Sposito Rachel S. , Selleck Cynthia 
Published: February 2020

BackgroundIn 2018, member clinics of the Virginia Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (VAFCC) provided over 235,500 visits to un/underinsured patients. A survey of VAFCC members found that only 67% report on clinical outcome measures and 56% do not collect social determinant of health (SDOH) data.ObjectiveThe purpose of this project was to determine if the provision of web-based technical assistance toolkits and peer mentoring improve quality and data reporting capacity of VAFCC member clinics.MethodsClinics that self-selected were provided with 16 weeks of customized interventions including SDOH Data Reporting Toolkit, CMS Quality Data Reporting Toolkit, Electronic Health Record Implementation Toolkit, and peer mentoring.ResultsPost-implementation, 100% of participating clinics reported that the resources provided benefited their organizations and increased their capacity to report.ConclusionsThe provision of technical assistance, tangible resources, and customized peer mentoring can better equip Free and Charitable Clinics (FCCs) to tell the story of their patients' social barriers and clinical outcomes.Implications for NursingDNP prepared nurses working with vulnerable populations are positioned to assist FCCs in documenting their relevance in the safety net system. Enhancing the ability of FCCs to collect and report data will allow them to demonstrate the provision of high-quality care, despite limited resources.

PROVING AL-MAQRIZI’S CONCEPT ON THE DETERMINANTS OF INFLATION: CROSS BORDER ANALYSIS
Authors: Akbar Nashr , Al Faizin Abdul Wahid 
Published: February 2020

This research discusses the determinants of inflation according to Al-Maqrizi, one of Ibnu Khaldun’s disciples. He argued that inflation is caused by natural factors and human error factors. Among those human error factors, government corruption and the excess supply of non-metal money. This study employs a critical review on the work of al-Maqrizi, ighatsatul ummah bi kasyfil ghummah, supported with a panel data regression on cross-country data related to the rate of inflation, the rate of corruption and the number of the natural disaster. The empirical data shows that the rate of inflation is positively related to the human error factors; corruption, tax, and money supply. The results indicated the relevancy of al-Maqirizi’s postulate to the modern days’ economy. However, natural disasters are not proven as a significant factor for inflation in the country level. This paper contributes to the importance of the study on the classical Muslim Scholars thinking to understand current economic problems and the way to solve it.
A Systematic Approach to the Design and Development of a New ICD to Minimize Erosion and Erosion-Corrosion
Authors: Dikshit Ashutosh , Woiceshyn Glenn , Hagel Liam 
Published: February 2020

Summary
To prevent or minimize problems associated with water coning in horizontal oil producers, inflow control devices (ICDs) are installed along the wellbore to better equalize the toe-to-heel flux. Nozzle-based ICDs are popular because they are easy to model accurately, virtually viscosity independent, and easy to install at the wellsite with many settings. Nozzles can be installed either in the wall of the base-pipe (radial orientation) or in the annulus between the base-pipe and housing (axial orientation). The advantages of the former are smaller maximum-running outer diameter (OD) and no need for a leak-tight, pressure-rated housing. One disadvantage is the high exit velocity that raises concern of erosion or erosion-corrosion of the base-pipe.
To overcome this disadvantage, a new nozzle has been developed with a novel geometry that reduces the exit velocity approximately tenfold compared with a conventional nozzle for the same pressure drop and flow rate. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to first fine tune the design to meet strict erosion-corrosion prevention requirements on the wall shear-stress downstream of the nozzle for both production and (acid) injection directions, and then to develop flow-performance curves for four different nozzle “sizes” that vary in their choking ability, thereby allowing many different settings per joint at the wellsite.
Full-scale prototype manufacturing and flow-loop testing were then performed to validate the CFD flow-performance predictions and to demonstrate mechanical integrity and erosion resistance for high-rate production and injection. The results, as presented herein, demonstrate a robust and commercially viable ICD design that has predictable flow performance using CFD, minimizes erosion and erosion-corrosion in either direction, minimizes running OD, simplifies the housing design, and allows easy installation at the wellsite with 34 settings per joint. Also discussed are two new advantages over other ICDs that were not anticipated in the original development.
Solubility Studies on High Molecular Weight Paraffin Hydrocarbons Obtained From Petroleum Rod Waxes
Authors: Nathan C.C. 
Published: February 2020

Published in Petroleum Transactions, AIME, Volume 204, 1955, pages 151–155.

Abstract
Data are presented on the physical properties of five waxes obtained from fields in Texas and Louisiana in which "paraffin" troubles are being experienced. The crude paraffin was fractionated into three components, soluble in cold acetone, soluble in boiling acetone, and insoluble in boiling acetone. The acetone insoluble fraction was found to consist essentially of straight chain paraffin hydrocarbons in the molecular weight range 525 to 700.
Solubilities of the purified high molecular weight paraffins were determined in a number of solvents. It was found that in hydrocarbon solvents, including crude oil, solubilities could be calculated satisfactorily by use of ideal solubility relations. In chlorinated, and oxygenated solvents, large deviations from ideal behavior were observed. These deviations could be partially correlated with the internal pressure of the solvent.

Introduction
A problem encountered in many producing oil fields is that of "paraffin" deposition. The problem refers to the deposition of material from the crude oil onto tubing, pumping rods, flow lines, or other material contacted by the crude. This problem has been recognized for nearly a hundred years, and numerous investigations have been reported on its causes and prevention or alleviation. One of the more comprehensive of such investigations was published by Reistle in 1932.
A few of the salient findings of his report are briefly as follows:
The term "paraffin" as used to describe this problem refers to the deposit of carbonaceous material which is not soluble or dispersible by the crude oil under the conditions where deposition occurs. The "paraffin" normally consists of high molecular weight paraffin hydrocarbons, both straight chain and branched, resins and asphaltic materials of undetermined nature, occluded oil and water, and possibly sand. In consistency, the deposit may vary from a soft, sticky material, to one which is hard and brittle. Deposits are usually black, although lighter colors are sometimes observed.

Published: February 2020

Abstract

Background Several DNA viruses are highly suspicious to have oncogenic effects in humans. This study investigates the presence of potentially oncogenic viruses such as SV40, JCV, BKV and EBV in patient-derived colorectal carcinoma (CRC) cells typifying all molecular subtypes of CRC. Methods Sample material (gDNA and cDNA) of a total of 49 patient-individual CRC cell lines and corresponding primary material from 11 patients, including normal, tumor-derived and metastasis-derived tissue were analyzed for sequences of SV40, JVC, BKV and EBV using endpoint PCR. In addition, the susceptibility of CRC cells to JCV and BKV was examined using a long-term cultivation approach of patient-individual cells in the presence of viruses. Results No virus-specific sequences could be detected in all specimens. Likewise, no morphological changes were observed and no evidence for viral infection or integration could be provided after long term CRC cell cultivation in presence of viral particles. Conclusions In summary, the presented data suggest that there is no direct correlation between tumorigenesis and viral load and consequently no evidence for a functional role of the DNA viruses included into this analysis in CRC development.

Abstract
Background The inability to reproduce principal results of some published studies was often due to the poor reporting quality. Propensity score(PS) method has been increasingly employed to balance confounders in observational researches. A few studies showed poor reporting quality of PS method in some medical fields, this would contribute the misleading interpretation of the results and effect clinicians to determine treatment measures. The study of reporting quality of published articles applied PS method in the gastric cancer field had not been available. The aim of this study was to assess the reporting quality of PS method of the published articles in the gastric cancer filed and provide critical recommendations for the investigators who would like to conduct and report PS method. Methods The published articles applied PS method in gastric cancer field were searched in PubMed from inception to July 2019. Two reviewers independently extracted information and evaluated the reporting quality of PS method of the included articles. Results A total of 143 eligible articles were identified by the inclusion and exclusion criteria. These articles were published from 2007 to 2019 and increased over time roughly. 112 articles(78.3%) clearly listed out the variables and 15articles(10.5%) indicate the variables selection justification for PS models. 34 articles(23.8%) reported interaction between variables or subgroup analysis. Propensity score matching(PSM) was the most used method(124 articles, 86.7%), followed by weighting(8 articles, 5.6%), stratification(4 articles, 2.8%) and regression adjustment(3 articles, 2.1%), using more than one methods was 4(2.8%). In PSM, 34 articles (26.6%) had an sufficient description about the matched algorithm and caliper width, 32 articles(25%) used standardized differences to check the balance, the reporting of replacement was poor(30 articles,21%). 10 articles(7.9%) utilized all subjects and 121articles(94.5%) did not discuss the influence of incomplete matching. Conclusions There were methodological deficiencies in the reporting and conducting of PS method of the published articles in the gastric cancer filed. The researchers should report more details for PS method so that the authors, journal editors and peer-reviewers judge reliability and authenticity of the results.

Published: February 2020

Introduction. The study offers a new rational approach to processing cottage cheese whey and using it as a highly nutritional functional ingredient in food production. We proposed a scientifically viable method for hydrolyzing cottage cheese whey with enzyme preparations of acid proteases from Aspergillus oryzae with an activity of 400 units/g and a pH range of 3.0 to 5.0.
Study objects and methods. Pre-concentrated whey was enzymatically hydrolyzed at 30°C, 40°C, and 50°C for 60 to 180 min (pH 4.6). Non-hydrolyzed whey protein concentrates were used as a control. The amount of enzyme preparation was determined by calculation. All hydrolysate samples showed an increase in active acidity compared to the control samples. Further, we conducted a full-factor experiment with three levels of variation. The input parameters included temperature, duration of hydrolysis, and a substrate-enzyme ratio; the output parameters were the degree of hydrolysis and antioxidant capacity.
Results and discussion. The experiment showed the following optimal parameters for hydrolyzing cottage cheese whey proteins with the enzyme preparation of proteases produced by Aspergillus oryzae: temperature – 46.4°C; duration – 180 min; and the amount of enzyme preparation – 9.5% of the protein content. The antioxidant capacity was 7.51 TE mmol/L and the degree of hydrolysis was 17.96%.
Conclusion. Due to its proven antioxidant capacity, the whey protein hydrolysate obtained in the study can be used as a functional food ingredient.
Absorption of iodotyrosine from iodized milk protein in animals
Authors: Bolshakova Larisa , Lukin Dmitry 
Published: February 2020

Introduction. One of the ways to the solve iodine deficiency problem is the addition of iodine to farm animal feed. It allows producing iodized livestock products. Promising sources of organic iodine are iodotyrosine-containing iodized milk proteins. Organic iodine accumulation in organs and tissues has not been sufficiently studied.
Study objects and methods. We determined iodotyrosine content in rat blood plasma and in pig muscle tissue. For this purpose, high performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection and cathodic stripping voltammetry were used.
Results and discussion. At the first stage of the study, we examined iodotyrosines in rat blood plasma after a single administration of iodized milk protein or potassium iodide (30 μg I/kg weight) at specific time intervals. A significant increase in the concentration of monoiodotyrosine and diiodotyrosine was recorded 4 and 24 h after the administration. At the second stage, we studied the accumulation of iodotyrosines in the muscle tissue of pigs during their fattening period (104 days). The diet of the control animal group included potassium iodide (0.6 mg I/kg of feed). The experimental groups A and B got iodized milk protein (0.3 and 0.6 mg I/kg of feed, respectively). Monoiodotyrosin content in the muscle tissue of pigs of the experimental groups was 3.0 and 5.2 times higher than that in the control group. Diiodotyrosine content was 4.9 and 8.2 times higher. In the experimental group A, iodine content in muscle tissues was 26% higher than that in the control group, in the experimental group B it was 72% higher. Calculations of iodine intake balance and its accumulation in muscle tissues showed that in animals whose diet included iodized milk protein, the iodine assimilation was much higher (0.70 and 0.53%) than in the control group (0.21%).
Conclusion. Iodotyrosines from iodized milk protein are absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract in an unchanged form and accumulate in muscle tissues. The findings give more clear understanding of physiological and biochemical mechanisms of organic iodine absorption in animals.
Non-CPAs and Office Audit Quality
Authors: Sherwood Matthew G. , Nagy Albert L. , Zimmerman Aleksandra B. 
Published: February 2020

SYNOPSIS
During the time surrounding the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Big 4 firms either spun-off or downsized their consulting practices. However, in recent years, consulting service lines of the large accounting firms have seen a dramatic resurgence and growth. Regulators have taken notice of, and expressed concern over, this renewed focus on consulting. The accounting firms claim that such services enhance audit quality, mainly due to the prominent role of non-accounting specialists in today's external audit function. This study examines whether the availability of non-CPAs in U.S. Big 4 firm offices is associated with audit quality. We find that greater access to non-CPAs in the office is associated with higher audit quality and conclude that office audit quality is not just a function of audit-specific human resources but also the availability of non-CPAs to support audit engagement teams.
