Authors: Shlenova M. 
Published: July 2021

The article deals with gamification mechanisms to increase staff performance and diversify the mechanisms of professional learning to improve the training of future librarians. In this the article we conducted a survey among students-interns of the university library on their attitude to gamification in the learning process. The results revealed that respondents mostly positively evaluate gamification as a tool in the process of acquiring professional knowledge. The gamification tool is used to increase the effectiveness of learning and to facilitate the adaptation of students to the professional activities of librarians. The results of the research can be used to identify the effects of the gamification tool on improving the efficiency of training processes and the professional growth of staff in various fields.
About the benefits of a toxic article by D. A. Eliashevich “Book studies: life after death”
Authors: Stoliarov Yu. 
Published: July 2021

Head of the Department of Medialogy and Literature of St. Petersburg State Institute of Culture D. A. Eliashevich (Russia) published a profound article “Book Studies: life after death”, which examines the causes of the dеcay of book studies. About a third of his work is devoted to the denial of the importance of documentology for the book study training of students and, moreover, documentology as a scientific field and subject of teaching. The author also makes claims against the author of these lines, who was declared by D. A. Eliashevich to be the creator of this discipline. The published article develops the topic of the reasons of book science decline, while at the same time revealing the baselessness of attacks on documentology. We support a positive assessment of the works of modern authors: A. V. Markova, M. V. Rats, and K. N. Kostiuk. It is considered to be a fair rebuke to modern book critics who conduct researches without taking into account foreign book criticism. The author of the article defends the constructive idea that the most promising way of developing book studies is not confrontation, but cooperation with more general disciplines: philosophy, anthropology, documentology, medialogy, cultural studies, and communication studies.
Linear theory for a mixed operator with Neumann conditions
Authors: Dipierro Serena , Proietti Lippi Edoardo , Valdinoci Enrico 
Published: July 2021

We consider here a new type of mixed local and nonlocal equation under suitable Neumann conditions. We discuss the spectral properties associated to a weighted eigenvalue problem and present a global bound for subsolutions. The Neumann condition that we take into account comprises, as a particular case, the one that has been recently introduced in ( Rev. Mat. Iberoam. 33(2) (2017), 377–416). Also, the results that we present here find a natural application to a logistic equation motivated by biological problems that has been recently considered in (Dipierro, Proietti Lippi and Valdinoci (2021)).
Some aspects of consideration of initial imperfections in the calculations of stability of thin-walled elements of open profile
Authors: Okhten Ivan , Lukianchenko Olha 
Published: July 2021

Performed analysis of the initial geometric imperfections influence on the stability of the open C-shaped bars. Test tasks were solved in MSC Nastran, which is based on the finite element method. Imperfections are given in different formulations: the general stability loss of an ideal bar, of wavy bulging of walls and shelves, of deplanation of a bar. To model imperfections, has been developed a program which for the formation of new coordinates of the nodes of the "deformed" model, the components of a vector similar to the form of stability loss are added to the corresponding coordinates of the middle surface of the bar. In this way, you can set initial imperfections in the forms of stability loss of the bar with different amplitude. Researches made with different values of the imperfection amplitude and eccentricity of applied efforts. All tasks are performed in linear and nonlinear staging. The conclusion is made regarding the influence of initial imperfections form and imperfection amplitude on the critical force in nonlinear calculations. It was found that the most affected are imperfections, which are given in the form of total loss of stability. It was revealed the influence of the imperfection amplitude on the magnitude of the critical force for such imperfections. The influence of imperfections amplitude given in the form of wavy bulging walls and in the form of deplanations is not affected on the value of the critical force.
Correlation of Breakfast Consumption Frequency and Grade Point Average in Preclinical Medical Students
Authors: Thuma Tobin , Lawandy Marco , Lomiguen Christine 
Published: July 2021

Abstract

Background:
Due to its nutritious, metabolic, and overall energy-providing benefits, studies have emphasized the value of breakfast, resulting in support of breakfast as “the most important meal of the day,” and subsequently, essential for academic success. However, limited research exists on the impact of habitual breakfast consumption on medical students. How does eating breakfast contribute to the academic success and well-being of medical students?

Methods:
A voluntary survey was distributed to preclinical medical students to gather information on their breakfast-eating habits as well as other indicators of well-being, including mental health, physical health, and stress. Participants indicated the average number of times per week they consumed breakfast. They also recorded the likelihood of eating breakfast on the day of an exam and various components of well-being on a five-point Likert scale. Subjects also provided student identification (ID) numbers. To measure academic success, grade point averages (GPAs) were then extracted using each student's ID number. A correlation analysis was performed between the breakfast-eating habits of medical students and their GPA.

Results:
121 surveys met the inclusion criteria. A correlation analysis showed that frequency of eating breakfast was positively correlated with GPA (r=0.35, p&lt;0.001). Eating breakfast on the day of an exam was also positively correlated with GPA (r=0.32, p&lt;0.001). Eating breakfast had no significant correlation with indices of well-being.

Conclusion:
Consistently eating breakfast may contribute to greater academic performance among medical students. However, eating breakfast appears to have no impact on well-being. Based on this research, eating breakfast regularly may help preclinical medical students boost their academic performance.
EFFECT OF MALARIA INFECTION ON HEPATIC AND RENAL FUNCTIONS IN PREGNANT WOMEN ATTENDING ANTENATAL CLINIC AT GENERAL HOSPITAL DUTSE, JIGAWA-NIGERIA
Authors: Balogun J. B. , Muhammad Shamsiyya Sani , Dogara Musa Mustapha 
Published: July 2021

The effect of malaria infection on hepatic and renal functions in pregnancywas investigated. Three malarious and non-malarious pregnant women of age ranges 15 to 40 years with a mean (SD) of 23.5 (6.6) years and a median (IQR) of 20.5 (18.3 to 27) years were enrolled. Liver enzymes (AST, ALT and ALP) and Kidney (UCE) functions were determined using Randox standard assay kits. The levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and albumin were significant as malaria infected pregnant women had significantly lowered levels of ALP and albumin compared to controls (21.3 vs 26.1 IU/L, P = 0.03 and 4.8 vs 6.0 g/dl P = 0.02). There was no significant difference between malaria infected pregnant women and their non-malarious counterparts (P > 0.05) in their renal functions. There was no significant difference in mean concentrations of urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium and chloride regardless of the severity of malaria. Usually in pregnancy markers of liver function decrease due to expansion of extracellular fluid except alkaline phosphatase which is elevated due to its placental origin. Results of this study showed decreased level of ALP which could possibly be an indication that the parasite has not reached its hepatic stage. The severity of gestational malaria depends on the initial immunity of the pregnant woman. The impact of malaria on pregnancy and conversely, the impact of pregnancy on malaria, are two factors which must be put into consideration during gestational malaria

Published: July 2021

We report herein an economically cheap and functionally stable surfaceenhanced Raman scattering (SERS) protocol of two photoactive pigments Rhodamine 6G (R6G) and Kiton Red (KR), implemented in thin films of silver (Ag) and gold (Au) nanoparticles (AgNPs and AuNPs). Both commercially available and chemically synthesized nanoparticles were used. The suitability of the nanoparticles toward SERS activity was tested through UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The AgNPs and AuNPs based SERS substrates in the form of films were fabricated onto square-sized aluminum(Al) plates by simple drop deposition of colloidal nanoparticles solution onto their polished surfaces. The prepared nanoparticle films were sufficiently dried and coated further with the probe (R6G and KR) molecules by employing the identical deposition technique. The enhanced Raman signals of R6G and KR in such composite film structures were then recorded through a custom-built dispersive Raman spectrometer with He-Ne laser excitation at 632.8 nm. Our AgNPsfilm-based SERS protocol could yield the magnitude of the Raman signal enhancement up to 104 times for both R6G and KR. Moreover, AuNPs-based film was found to be less efficient toward the Raman enhancement of both compounds. Our SERS substrates can be easily fabricated, and SERS spectra are reproducible and stable, allowing one to consistently get a reproducible result even after 6 months.

Authors: Hj Abdul Aziz Amal Atiqah Hamizah , H. Abdul-Mumin Khadizah , Abdul Rahman Hanif 
Published: July 2021

Background: Volunteering among nursing students has become a valuable resource during an outbreak to help alleviate the strain in nursing staff shortages. However, evidence of willingness to volunteer is scarce, particularly in Asian countries.Objective: To study Bruneian university nursing students’ willingness to volunteer during a pandemic in Brunei. Methods: An online cross-sectional study was conducted at Universiti Brunei Darussalam from January to February 2021. A self-administered questionnaire was used to measure willingness factors, including motivational factors, barriers, enablers, and level of agreement to volunteer during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sub-group inferential analysis was applied. Results: 72 participants were included in this study. 75.0% of whom were willing to volunteer during the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors that influenced the willingness of nursing students to volunteer were marital status (p <0.001), year of study (p <0.001), altruism (p <0.001), personal safety (p <0.001), and knowledge level (p <0.001). Conclusion: Nursing students are an invaluable resource, and they are highly willing to be part of disaster management. Training and planning should prepare the nursing students for disaster or pandemic readiness and integrated them into the undergraduate nursing curriculum. Align with this, safety aspects of nursing students during volunteering should also be considered, including the provision of childcare assistance, sufficient personal protective equipment, vaccination, and prophylaxis to the volunteers.
The experience of older persons with mental health conditions who interact with healthcare robots and nurse intermediaries: The qualitative case studies

Published: July 2021

Background: Caring expressions between humans and nonhuman intelligent machines are futuristic prototypes with healthcare robots as major advocates.
Objective: To examine the experience of older persons with mental health conditions, particularly patients with schizophrenia and with dementia in the interaction with healthcare robots and intermediaries in a transactive relational engagement.
Methods: Two qualitative case studies were conducted using sophisticated audio-video technologies to record the conversation and activities that were carefully documented. Following the procedure for qualitative descriptive analysis, a framework based on the Transactive Relationship Theory of Nursing was employed to analyze and interpret the data.
Results: Three themes were revealed, including feelings for the other, inspiring meaningful responses, and demonstrating expressions of joy. The description of the experience of older persons involved in the conversation with humanoid robots was feeling for the other while inspiring meaningful responses in demonstrating expressions of joy.
Conclusion: This study provided initial evidence that the transactive engagements of robots with older persons with schizophrenia and dementia and nurse intermediaries in psychiatric and mental health settings can result in occasions of ‘joy’ for the patients. These findings suggest that transactive engagements with robots facilitate expressions of joy among older persons with schizophrenia and dementia. However, these findings are not intended to prescribe nursing care actions but to describe the experience of older persons who are in transactive engagements with intelligent machines, indicating the importance and value of healthcare robots in nursing older persons with schizophrenia and with dementia.
El estilo retórico femenino en la entrevista política. Una década de aplicación en Telva
Authors: Quevedo Redondo Raquel 
Published: July 2021

Esta investigación pretende comprobar cómo las características del llamado ‘estilo retórico femenino’ condicionan la manera en que líderes y lideresas se dirigen a la ciudadanía. Se parte de la premisa de que los rasgos del feminine style se acentúan cuando la audiencia está conformada por una mayoría de mujeres, por lo que se toman como referencia 25 entrevistas a políticos publicadas en la revista femenina Telva, por tratarse de la cabecera española que más contenidos de este tipo ha albergado en la última década (2011-2020). El análisis de contenido permite comprobar que tanto varones como féminas ponen en práctica estrategias que potencian el mayor y mejor tratamiento de women´s issues y soft politics en su discurso (feminización de la agenda), además de recurrir a la estructura inductiva, las apelaciones al conjunto, el uso de palabras con connotaciones emocionales y el encomio de la ética del cuidado.

Authors: Ballesteros Herencia Carlos Antonio 
Published: July 2021

Los clubes de fútbol se han incorporado rápidamente a los sucesivos avances en las tecnologías de la información, entre ellos, las redes sociales, donde ocupan posiciones destacadas de audiencia. La generación de vínculos de compromiso con los seguidores se ha señalado como una vía para alcanzar los objetivos de las organizaciones deportivas. Esta investigación se propuso describir el uso de Facebook, Instagram y Twitter por parte de los clubes españoles de fútbol de la Primera División de la Liga de Fútbol Profesional (LFP) en cuanto a la frecuencia de publicación de mensajes, número de seguidores online e intensidad de la implicación de los usuarios de las redes sociales. Se analizaron estadísticamente 6.000 mensajes, capturados automática y manualmente. Se halló una frecuencia diaria de publicación promedio de 31 mensajes por club entre las tres redes, siendo Twitter la plataforma de mayor frecuencia de publicación. En cambio, la red con más seguidores fue Facebook, mientras Instagram lideró tanto el número de interacciones como la intensidad del índice de engagement. Además, se detectó correlación entre factores online como el número de seguidores o de interacciones y factores offline que describían el tamaño del club.

Published: July 2021

Background: Women had worse outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and physiologically, women had lower hemoglobin values. We examined whether there were sex-related differences in the relationship between hemoglobin levels and adverse outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction.Method: We conducted a post-hoc analysis of data from the Acute Coronary Syndrome Quality Improvement in Kerala (ACS-QUIK) Study. We explored the relationship between baseline hemoglobin level and 30-days adverse outcomes by logistic regression model, generalized additive model (GAM) and two-piecewise linear regression model. We used multiple imputation, based on five replications and a chained equation approach method in the R multiple imputation procedure, to account for missing data. The primary outcome were 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) defined as death, reinfarction, stroke, and major bleeding. The secondary outcomes were 30-day major bleeding, 30-day stroke and 30-day cardiovascular death (CVD death).Results: Twenty thousand, five hundred fifty-nine patients with AMI were included in our analysis. Baseline hemoglobin level was associated with major bleeding [OR: 0.74, 95%CI (0.60, 0.92) P &lt; 0.01], CVD death [OR: 0.94, 95%CI (0.90, 0.99) P &lt; 0.01], and MACEs [OR: 0.95, 95%CI (0.92, 0.99) P &lt; 0.01]. There was no significant relationship between baseline hemoglobin level and stroke incidence in both men [OR: 1.02, 95%CI (0.90, 1.14) P = 0.77] and women [OR: 1.15, 95%CI (0.96, 1.37) P = 0.18]. Baseline hemoglobin level was associated with major bleeding [OR: 0.71, 95%CI (0.58, 0.85) P &lt; 0.01] in male patients, however we did not find the same relationship in female patients [OR: 0.89, 95%CI (0.56, 1.41) P = 0.61]. GAM and two-piecewise linear regression model showed the relationships of hemoglobin level with major bleeding, CVD death, and MACEs were non-linear (non-linear P &lt; 0.05), and the threshold value were 13, 14.8, and 14.3 g/dL for MACEs and CVD death, respectively.Conclusion: Baseline hemoglobin level was one of the independent predictors of prognosis in South Asia patients with acute myocardial infarction. Moreover, its impact on prognosis was largely different depending on the patients' sex.

Published: July 2021

A series of significant shale oil discoveries have been made recently in the Upper Cretaceous Qingshankou Formation in the Songliao Basin, providing a new resource target for shale oil exploration in Northeast China. In this context, an understanding of the tectonic-thermal evolution and maturation history of the Qingshankou Formation is of great significance for shale oil exploration and evaluation. In this study, the thermal history of the Qingshankou Formation since the Late Cretaceous was reconstructed using the paleothermal indicator method. The results indicate that two stages of thermal evolution exist in the southern part of the Songliao Basin: 1) the gradual heating stage during the Late Cretaceous; the heat flow gradually increases during this period and reaches a maximum heat flow value at the end of the Cretaceous. 2) The decline stage since the Neogene; the tectonic activity is relatively stable and the geothermal heat flow is gradually reduced, and the present-day heat flow ranges from 60.1 to 100.7 mW/m2, with an average of 78.2 mW/m2. In addition, the maturity history of the organic-rich shale was reconstructed based on the new thermal history. The Cretaceous Qingshankou shales underwent deep burial thermal metamorphism at the end of the Cretaceous, whereas thermal has faded since the Neogene. The hydrocarbon generation and migration since the Late Cretaceous period of K2qn1 were modeled based on the maturity model. Two main cooling events took place in the late Nenjiang period and the late Mingshui period in the Changling sag. These two tectonic events controlled the structural style and the formation of shale oil reservoirs in the southern Songliao Basin.
