PURPOSE:
Excellent vision is essential to performing well in sports. Sports vision includes visual, perceptual, cognitive, and oculomotor tasks that enable athletes to process and respond to what is seen. We aimed to examined how sports vision parameters – dynamic visual acuity (DVA), eye movement (EM), peripheral vision (PV), and momentary vision (MV) – varied with age and sex and assessed how static visual acuity (SVA) affect sports vision performance.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Sports vision was assessed at 45 cm distance at best-corrected SVA in 310 nonathletic participants (age, 6–60 years). Among these 310 participants, 108 university students underwent their sports vision test at 45 cm and 2.5 m distance, with and without glasses. The 4 sports vision parameters were measured by Athlevision software package installed to a laptop. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare sports vision performance in relation to age group and sex. Repeated-measures ANOVA with 1 within-factor (4 conditions) were used to analyze how sports vision varied among the near/far distance with/without glasses conditions.

RESULTS:
DVA increased during childhood, peaked during the 20s or 30s, and gradually decreased during middle age (P < 0.0001). DVA was significantly better in males than in females (P = 0.0001). The other 3 sport vision parameters – EM, PV, and MV – exhibited similar age trends (P < 0.001) but did not differ between two sexes. The university students with mild myopia had similar DVA, EM, and PV at both near and far distances, with and without correction; but moderate or severe myopic students with uncorrected vision had worse DVA, EM, and PV at 2.5 m than at 45 cm.

CONCLUSION:
Low SVA in uncorrected myopia significantly interferes the performance in sport vision tests applied in this study, especially in far distance. Improve static vision, such as myopic correction, may significantly improve sports vision, which is important in athletic performance and safety.

Published: November 2020

The purposes of this study were to evaluate the effects of the resilience enhancing nursing program (RENP) on resilience and depression among pregnant teenagers who received this program. A quasi experimental was conducted with 130 pregnant Thai women. Final analysis included 130 participants (Intervention n = 64 and control group n = 66). The RENP was delivered in three steps including; Step 1, establishing trusting relationships; Step 2, improving the resilience, and Step 3, monitoring and encouraging the resilience practice. The research instruments consisted of a demographic data questionnaire, and resilience and depressive program instruments, including a handbook and self-report. Research data were analyzed and displayed, providing percentage, mean, standard deviation, chi-square, independent t-test, paired t-test, and the repeated measures ANOVA.
The findings showed a significant difference in depression by time alone (p = 0.001). However, there was no significant difference by group alone in depression (p = 0.969). This study revealed mean score on depression in the experimental group was not significantly lower than before entering the program at week 4 and week 8 (p = 0.870, p = 0.428). However, resilience showed difference in score over time between the experimental group and control group. There was a significant difference in resilience score by time alone (F = 10.523, p < 0.001).
The results can contribute to guiding nurses to enhance decrease in depression in pregnant teenagers in the earlier first trimester in antenatal care units. Nurse or nurse midwife should be concerned about the potential for early detection in the prenatal period and provide appropriate interventions to teenage mothers in the postnatal period.

Researchers from Thailand and Japan have initiated a collaborative project to compare the Quality of Work Life (QWL) among public health nurses. Thus, the QWL of registered nurses working in a community in Thailand was identified and compared with the Public Health Nurses (PHNs) in Japan. The purpose of which was to determine the similarities and differences between the two countries regarding their nurses’ quality of work life. The 42-item of Brooks’ survey of Quality of Nursing Work Life (QNWL) was translated and evaluated in Thailand and Japan. There were 102 Thai and 209 Japanese public health nurses completed the questionnaire.
Findings showed that the QNWL level of both Thai and Japanese PHNs were at moderate level. Thai nurses scored higher than Japanese nurses in overall scores. Thai reported significantly higher on work design dimensions (t = 9.12, p < 0.05). For both groups, three out of four dimensions were ranked in the same pattern in which home life/work life was recorded as the lowest. This was followed by work design and work context. However, Thai scored lowest on work world dimension, while Japanese scored highest on that dimension. Findings also showed significant association between country and age groups (χ2 = 20.01, p = 0.00, marital status (χ2 = 6.50, p = 0.01), education (χ2 = 70.05, p = 0.00), and dependent family members (χ2 = 128.16, p = 0.00). No significant association was noted between country and gender (χ2 = 0.37, p = 0.54), and between country and work experience (χ2 = 2.88, p = 0.23).The findings extended our understanding of the Public Health Nurse’s quality of work life that contributes to nursing in different cultural contexts through a rare direct comparison of Public Health Nurses between Thailand and Japan.

Published: November 2020

This cross-sectional study aims to examine patient and hospital factors contributing to reperfusion following thrombolysis in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in rural hospitals in Thailand. Access to reperfusion therapy for STEMI patients in rural areas is increasing in Thailand, yet clinical outcomes vary between settings and are inferior to recommended guidelines. Ten years after the introduction of thrombolytic treatment for rural patients undergoing STEMI, there is still a limited description of factors influencing the outcomes of thrombolytic treatment.
Data were collected from 87 acute STEMI patients who had received thrombolytic treatment in 12 thrombolysis-capable hospitals located in rural areas. Demographic and clinical characteristics included patient response and treatment seeking behavior, witness response to the patient symptoms, waiting time for treatment, severity of illness, guideline adherence, and thrombolytic reperfusion. The results were: only 31 of 87 patients (35.63 %) received thrombolytic treatment within 30 min after arrival at the hospital. A total of 42 patients (48.28 %) had successful myocardial reperfusion following thrombolytic treatment. Logistic regression analysis revealed that guideline adherence (OR : 1.58 ; 95 % CI : 1.12 - 2.25), severity of illness (OR : 0.77 ; 95 % CI : 0.64 - 0.94), and patient response and treatment seeking behavior (OR : 1.47 ; 95 % CI : 1.01 - 2.04) were predictors of thrombolytic reperfusion. In rural areas, healthcare resources and transfer facilities are limited. Therefore, the improvement of patient awareness is needed. The clinical practice guidelines and consideration of pre-hospital factors should be promoted and the number of thrombolysis-capable hospitals should be increased.

Published: November 2020

The purpose of this study was to synthesize five graduate theses on nurse preceptors by using the Meta-Ethnography research method. The research findings fell into three steps, as follows: Step 1- Preparing for teaching. Nurse preceptors prepared for their clinical supervision with four sub-steps, 1) preparing for readiness, 2) studying and reviewing the clinical practice and clinical supervision guidelines of the organization, 3) planning and designing a clinical supervision model, and 4) making clinical supervision plans; Step 2- Teaching. This step consisted of seven sub-steps, 1) creating familiarity with the learners, 2) clinical practice orientation, 3) clarifying the performance evaluation criteria, 4) pre-conference, 5) clinical teaching from real situations, 6) post- conference, and 7) improving clinical teaching skills; Step 3- Teaching evaluation. This step consisted of three sub-steps, as follows. 1) self-evaluation by learners, 2) reflection-evaluation by nurse preceptors, and 3) documentation of evaluation by nurse preceptors. Therefore, nursing administrators can implement the results of this research as a process for clinical supervision and develop supervision systems in the nursing organizations to be more effective.
Long-term historical trends in air pollutant emissions in Asia: Regional Emission inventory in ASia (REAS) version 3
Authors: Kurokawa Junichi , Ohara Toshimasa 
Published: November 2020

Abstract. A long-term historical emission inventory of air and
climate pollutants in East, Southeast, and South Asia during 1950–2015 was developed as the Regional Emission inventory in ASia version 3 (REASv3).
REASv3 provides details of emissions from major anthropogenic sources for
each country and its sub-regions and also provides monthly gridded data with
0.25∘ × 0.25∘ resolution. The average total
emissions in Asia during 1950–1955 and during 2010–2015 (growth rates in these 60 years estimated from the two averages) are as follows: SO2: 3.2 Tg,
42.4 Tg (13.1); NOx: 1.6 Tg, 47.3 Tg (29.1); CO: 56.1 Tg, 303 Tg (5.4);
non-methane volatile organic compounds: 7.0 Tg, 57.8 Tg (8.3); NH3: 8.0 Tg, 31.3 Tg (3.9); CO2: 1.1 Pg, 18.6 Pg (16.5) (CO2 excluding
biofuel combustion 0.3 Pg, 16.8 Pg (48.6)); PM10: 5.9 Tg, 30.2 Tg
(5.1); PM2.5: 4.6 Tg, 21.3 Tg (4.6); black carbon: 0.69 Tg, 3.2 Tg
(4.7); and organic carbon: 2.5 Tg, 6.6 Tg (2.7). Clearly, all the air
pollutant emissions in Asia increased significantly during these 6 decades, but situations were different among countries and regions. Due to
China's rapid economic growth in recent years, its relative contribution to
emissions in Asia has been the largest. However, most pollutant species
reached their peaks by 2015, and the growth rates of other species were found to be reduced or almost zero. On the other hand, air pollutant emissions
from India showed an almost continuous increasing trend. As a result, the
relative ratio of emissions of India to that of Asia has increased recently. The trend observed in Japan was different from the rest of Asia.
In Japan, emissions increased rapidly during the 1950s–1970s, which
reflected the economic situation of the period; however, most emissions
decreased from their peak values, which were approximately 40 years ago, due
to the introduction of control measures for air pollution. Similar features
were found in the Republic of Korea and Taiwan. In the case of other Asian countries, air pollutant emissions generally showed an increase along with
economic growth and motorization. Trends and spatial distribution of air
pollutants in Asia are becoming complicated. Data sets of REASv3, including table of emissions by countries and sub-regions for major sectors and fuel
types, and monthly gridded data with 0.25∘ × 0.25∘ resolution for major source categories are available through

ARIOS: a database for ocean acidification assessment in the Iberian upwelling system (1976–2018)
Authors: Padin Xosé Antonio , Velo Antón , Pérez Fiz F. 
Published: November 2020

Abstract. A data product of 17 653 discrete samples from 3343 oceanographic stations
combining measurements of pH, alkalinity and other biogeochemical parameters
off the northwestern Iberian Peninsula from June 1976 to September 2018 is
presented in this study. The oceanography cruises funded by 24 projects were
primarily carried out in the Ría de Vigo coastal inlet but also in an area ranging
from the Bay of Biscay to the Portuguese coast. The robust seasonal cycles
and long-term trends were only calculated along a longitudinal section,
gathering data from the coastal and oceanic zone of the Iberian upwelling
system. The pH in the surface waters of these separated regions, which were
highly variable due to intense photosynthesis and the remineralization of
organic matter, showed an interannual acidification ranging from −0.0012
to −0.0039 yr−1 that grew towards the coastline. This result
is obtained despite the buffering capacity increasing in the coastal waters
further inland as shown by the increase in alkalinity by 1.1±0.7 and 2.6±1.0 µmol kg−1 yr−1 in
the inner and outer Ría de Vigo respectively, driven by interannual changes in the
surface salinity of 0.0193±0.0056 and 0.0426±0.016 psu yr−1 respectively. The loss of the vertical salinity
gradient in the long-term trend in the inner ria was consistent with other
significant biogeochemical changes such as a lower oxygen concentration and
fertilization of the surface waters. These findings seem to be related to a
growing footprint of sediment remineralization of organic matter in the
surface layer of a more homogeneous water column. Data are available at https://doi.org/10.20350/digitalCSIC/12498

State Opera House - upgrading
Authors: Christianson John 
Published: November 2020

The Local Government Act allows local bodies to take powers requiring building owners to upgrade masonry buildings to a reasonable level of seismic capacity.
The State Opera House is one such building. The theatre was built in 1913 and allows for seating for 1300 patrons  on three levels. The building is of  brick construction with walls up to 685mm thick and 23,000mm high without intermediate support. Although the Wellington City Council generally requires buildings to achieve two thirds of the standard laid down by NZS 1900 Chap. 8:1965 the  City Engineer requested that the Opera House be upgraded to full compliance with that standard. As a preliminary to detail design, tests were made on brick beam samples to determine what quality of brickwork existed within the building and what levels of stress could be reliably used in panel configurations.  From these tests we determined a bond strength of 0.1MPa in mortar joints and F’c (Brick) 10MPa. This investigation was coupled with an extensive structural survey to supplement the meagre amound  of information from drawings and original specification.

Effects of food hydrocolloids on quality attributes of extruded red Jasmine rice noodle
Authors: Kraithong Supaluck , Rawdkuen Saroat 
Published: November 2020

The aim of this study was to examine the quality characteristics of extruded red Jasmine rice flour (RJF) noodle that had been prepared with hydrocolloids, namely guar gum (GG), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and xanthan gum (XG) at the concentrations of 0.0 (control sample), 0.2, and 0.4% (w/w), respectively. The use of hydrocolloids had no effect on total phenolic contents, antioxidant properties (DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP), color, and X-ray diffraction patterns (p > 0.05). In contrast, the hydrocolloids tended to increase the expansion ration of the noodle. GG and CMC improved cooking, textural, and sensory properties. Ultimately, 0.2%-GG showed the lowest cooking loss (5.07%) when compared with others. Moreover, it also provided the noodle with better textural properties such as tensile strength, extensibility, hardness, cohesiveness, and chewiness (p < 0.05). For these reasons, the highest acceptability (6.75) for the noodle was achieved with GG02. XG resulted in lower overall acceptability (5.05), particularly the 0.4%-XG recipe (p < 0.05). Thus, usage of 0.2%-GG was the best option for improving the qualities of extruded RJF noodle. XG was deemed ineffective for improving the noodle.

Background
Mapping techniques using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging have significantly improved the diagnostic accuracy for myocarditis with focal myocardial injuries. The aim of our study was to determine whether T1 and T2 mapping techniques could identify diffuse myocardial injuries in “normal-appearing” myocardium in pediatric patients with clinically suspected myocarditis and to evaluate the associations between diffuse myocardial injuries and cardiac function parameters.

Methods
Forty-six subjects were included in this study: 20 acute myocarditis patients, 11 subacute/chronic myocarditis patients and 15 control children. T2 values, native T1 values and the extracellular volume (ECV) of “normal-appearing” myocardium were compared among the three groups of patients. Associations between diffuse myocardial injuries and cardiac function parameters were also evaluated.

Results
The ECV of “normal-appearing” myocardium was significantly higher in the subacute/chronic myocarditis group than in the control group (30.1 ± 0.9 vs 27.0 ± 0.6, P =0.004). No significant differences in T1 and T2 values between the acute myocarditis and control groups were found. In the subacute/chronic myocarditis group, a significant association between ECV and left ventricle ejection fraction was found (P=0.03).

Conclusions
Diffuse myocardial injuries are likely to occur in subacute/chronic myocarditis patients with prolonged inflammatory responses. Mapping techniques have great value for the diagnosis and monitoring of myocarditis.
Circular RNA profiling identifies circ102049 as a key regulator of colorectal liver metastasis

Published: November 2020

Circular RNA (circRNA) plays an essential role in the development and progression of various cancers. However, the functions and mechanisms of circRNA in colorectal liver metastasis have not been fully elucidated. We performed circRNA microarray analysis to screen differentially expressed circRNA in the pathology of colorectal liver metastasis. Quantitative real‐time PCR was used to detect the expression of hsa_circ_102049 (circ102049) in colorectal cancer (CRC) samples. CRC cells were transfected with circ102049 overexpression vector or small interfering (si)RNA to assess the effects of circ102049 in vitro. Bioinformatics analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization, RNA immunoprecipitation, RNA pull‐down and luciferase reporter assays were conducted to confirm the relationship of circ102049, miR‐761, miR‐192‐3p and FRAS1. The mechanism by which circ102049 recruits and distributes DGCR8 protein in the cytoplasm was also investigated. We found that circ102049 was highly expressed in primary CRC tumors with liver metastasis and closely correlated with the prognosis of patients with CRC. Circ102049 significantly enhanced the adhesion, migration and invasion abilities of CRC cells, and promoted CRC progression via a micro (mi)R‐761/miR‐192‐3p‐FRAS1‐dependent mechanism. Notably, due to the distribution of DGCR8 protein, circ102049 may also indirectly reduce the levels of mature miR‐761 and miR‐192‐3p in the cytoplasm. In addition, the role of circ102049 in promoting colorectal liver metastasis was confirmed in vivo. Our findings provide new evidence that circ102049 may be a potential prognostic factor in CRC, and that the circ102049‐miR‐761/miR‐192‐3p–FRAS1 axis may be an anti‐metastatic target for CRC patients.
