Objective: The COVID-19 epidemic began in Tunisia in March 2020; health-care workers (HCWs) were suddenly confronted with a particularly stressful situation. The aim of this study was to assess the psychological responses of HCWs during the epidemic, determine the stressors and identify ways to cope.Methods: This cross-sectional study used an online questionnaire that included 62 questions. ANOVAs and t-tests were used to compare the responses between professional groups, age groups, and genders.Results: Questionnaires were completed by 368 HCWs. HCWs believed they had a social and professional obligation to continue working long hours (95.3%). They were anxious regarding their safety (93.7%) and the safety of their families (97.8%). Youthful age (p = 0.044) and female gender (ps &lt;0.046) were identified as stressors. The availability of personal protective equipment (PPE; 99.7%) and good communication between colleagues (98.1%) and managers (91.6%) were important protective factors. Family and friend support (95.9%), following strict protective measures (99.4%), knowing more about COVID-19 (94.8%), adopting a positive attitude (89.6%), and engaging in leisure activities (96.1%) helped in dealing with this epidemic.Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of providing HCWs with infection control guidelines and adequate PPE. Communication and support within the team and maintaining family support help in coping with this stressful situation.
Musculoskeletal Disorders in Portuguese Welders: Effects on Bodily Pain and Health-Related Quality of Life
Authors: Lourenço Lilian , Luís Sílvia 
Published: May 2021

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders in welders may influence their health-related quality of life. However, few studies have addressed this issue and their results were inconclusive. This study investigates whether there are musculoskeletal disorders with a higher incidence in welders compared to non-welders, and whether these disorders lead to an increase in bodily pain which in turn decreases their health-related quality of life.Methods:A priori analyses of statistical power were conducted to determine the sample size needed to find medium to large statistical effects, for a 0.05 alpha, and critical sampling, combined with snowball sampling, was carried out. The study was cross-sectional, and participants were asked to respond to a survey using validated instruments (Nwelders = 40, Nnon−welders = 42).Results: As expected, a higher incidence of symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders in the cervical, dorsal, lumbar, and wrists and hands was found in welders in comparison to non-welders. Furthermore, the presence of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly in the lumbar area, was related to an increased bodily pain and decreased health-related quality of life.Conclusion: Welders are exposed to a higher incidence of musculoskeletal disorders that decrease their quality of life. It is essential to increase the awareness of welders, organizations, and regulatory institutions toward this issue in order to motivate the development and implementation of prevention strategies. The need for primary and secondary prevention-type strategies, which have already proven their effectiveness in the context of welding, is highlighted.

Introduction: A new vision of resilience and well-being for Canadian military service members (SMs), Veterans and their families has been championed by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC). Operationalizing this vision, which aims to support those who serve/have served and their families as they navigate life during and post-service, requires the support of service providers (SPs). Training SPs to deliver complementary resilience-training programs Reaching In… Reaching Out (RIRO; for adults working with parents of young children) and Bounce Back and Thrive! (BBT; for parents of children aged 0–8 years of age) may support this vision.Objective: To assess the appropriateness of RIRO/BBT trainer training for SPs, and RIRO and BBT resilience-training for military populations and families.Methods: This qualitative descriptive study involved the delivery of RIRO/BBT trainer training to SPs (n = 20), followed by focus groups (n = 6) with SPs and organisational leaders (n = 4). Focus groups were recorded, and data were transcribed and thematically-analysed.Results: Several themes emerged: (1) RIRO/BBT trainer training enabled SPs to model resilience and deliver the resilience-training programs, (2) training was appropriate and adaptable for the CAF and SMs/CMFs, and (3) training could support the development of resilient communities.Discussion: RIRO/BBT trainer training and RIRO and BBT resilience-training programs use a holistic, integrated, experiential, and community approach to resilience-building and align with CAF and VAC initiatives. Once contextualised, such programs could support resilience-building in the military context.
Effects of Level of Immersion on Virtual Training Transfer of Bimanual Assembly Tasks

Published: May 2021

The availability of consumer-facing virtual reality (VR) headsets makes virtual training an attractive alternative to expensive traditional training. Recent works showed that virtually trained workers perform bimanual assembly tasks equally well as ones trained with traditional methods. This paper presents a study that investigated how levels of immersion affect learning transfer between virtual and physical bimanual gearbox assembly tasks. The study used a with-in subject design and examined three different virtual training systems i.e., VR training with direct 3D inputs (HTC VIVE Pro), VR training without 3D inputs (Google Cardboard), and passive video-based training. 23 participants were recruited. The training effectiveness was measured by participant’s performance of assembling 3D-printed copies of the gearboxes in two different timings: immediately after and 2 weeks after the training. The result showed that participants preferred immersive VR training. Surprisingly, despite being less favourable, the subjects’ performance of video-based training were similar to training on HTC VIVE Pro. However, video training led to a significant performance decrease in the retention test session 2 weeks after the training.
Detection of Exosomes Using Total Internal Reflected Imaging Ellipsometry
Authors: Liu Haoyu , Liu Wei , Jin Gang 
Published: May 2021

Exosomes are a kind of membrane-bound phospholipid nanovesicle that are secreted extensively in a variety of biological fluids. Accumulating evidence has indicated that exosomes not only communicate with cells, but also perform functional roles in physiology and pathology. In addition, exosomes have also elicited a great deal of excitement due to their potential as disease biomarkers. Therefore, requirements for sensitive methods capable of precisely and specifically determining exosomes were needed. Herein, we not only develop a sensing surface to capture exosomes but also compare two surface proteins on exosomes, which are appropriate for detecting exosome surface markers by total internal reflected imaging ellipsometry (TIRIE). Protein G and antibody were immobilized on a thin layer of golden substrate to form the biosensing surface. The bio-interaction between antibodies and exosomes was recorded by the TIRIE in real time. The distance between exosomes adhered on a surface was 44 nm ± 0.5 nm. The KD of anti-CD9 and exosome was lower than anti-CD63 and exosome by introducing pseudo-first-order interaction kinetics, which suggested that CD9 is more suitable for exosome surface markers than CD63. The limit of detection (LOD) of TIRIE was 0.4 μg/mL. In conclusion, we have proposed a surface for the detection of exosomes based on TIRIE, which can make the detection of exosomes convenient and efficient.

Se evaluaron tres híbridos de maíz bajo tres niveles de fertilización nitrogenada (50, 100 y 150 kg de N/ha) durante la estación lluviosa 2019 en la Granja Experimental Agrícola de la ESPOL (Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral), Guayaquil, Guayas, Ecuador. El suelo donde se implementó el experimento se clasifica como Vertisol y es conocido como de alta fertilidad, teniendo en cuenta su alto contenido de mineral arcilloso tipo 2:1 tales como la montmorillonita y/o ilita. Con una CIC y saturación de bases en la superficie son de 43,9meq/100g y 99,4%, respectivamente. Los híbridos que se experimentaron son: Pioneer 4039 (P4039), Advanta 9313 (AV9313) y Advanta 9139 (AV9139), distribuidos por la compañía FARMAGRO. En el área experimental, se aplicaron tres niveles de fertilización nitrogenada (50, 100 y 150kgN/ha), 50 kg de P2O5 y 50 kg de K2O/ha, respectivamente. Como característica agronómica, se observó diferencia significativa al 1% no sólo para el híbrido sino también para el nitrógeno, así como en la longitud de hoja, obteniendo el más alto valor para el AV 9139. Al igual que el caso anterior, el rendimiento del grano con 14% de humedad, se observó una diferencia significativa al 5% para la interacción. Aunque el más alto rendimiento fue para el AV9139, se observó una tendencia negativa de acuerdo a la mayor dosis de nitrógeno. Recomendándose el híbrido AV 9139 con la aplicación de 50kgN/ha de acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos en el análisis económico.

The communication media as a work of human beings reason from time to time has a very rapidly progress together with the growth and the development of new innovations in the world of the digital technology. This progress is a certainty that must be received by the human beings who are in a strong mind and conscience awareness that communication media is so sophisticated but remains as a means of the development of the human beings civilization. This awareness gradually can be expected to encourage human beings in order to place themselves appropriately as the subject of the development of the communication media itself through a rational and an accurate filtering process against negative influences that can threaten with human beings civilization. One of the institutions is threatened with the negative influences of the communicaton media is family. At first the family gets a respected position as a socialization agent about the values of life is now experiencing decline of function as well as its role because the majority of the family members are now snared because of the negative influences of the communication media. The sympathetic as well as the empathetic atmosphere are used to be the first decoration in the house and now is just becoming a nice memory but sadden. The fascination is too axtreme makes each of the family member of the communication media and finally appear some attitudes as well as behaviours that don,t go with the values of solidarity and the family as well. At last, this problem lets grow as well as develop without striving for preventive and curative of the various social elements. This meant preparing a show of a destruction of the generation in the future. Therefore, the whole sides are expected to their involvement to be a foremost line in preventing efforts. On the basis, the Paroki St. Yosef Onekore is also moved at giving the basics correct of comprehension to the parents in the catechetical activities that the communication media is actually just a means of using it to proclaim the King of God.
The Sensuous Pedagogies of Virginia Woolf and D.H. Lawrence
Authors: Hagen Benjamin D. 
Published: May 2021

Though the differences in style and politics between Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) and D. H. Lawrence (1885–1930) are many, they both had formative experiences as teachers. Between 1905 and 1907, Woolf taught history and composition courses at Morley College while Lawrence spent nearly a decade in the field of elementary education between 1902 and 1912. This study reframes Woolf’s and Lawrence’s later experiments in fiction, memoir, and literary criticism as the works of former teachers who remain deeply preoccupied with pedagogy. Across their respective writing careers, moreover, they conceptualize problems of teaching and learning as problems of sensation, emotion, or intensity. The “sensuous pedagogies” Woolf and Lawrence depict and enact are not limited to classroom spaces or strategies; rather, they pertain to non-institutional relationships, developmental narratives, spaces, and needs. Friendships and other intimate relationships in Lawrence’s fiction, for instance, often take on a pedagogical shape or texture (one person playing the student; the other, the teacher) while Woolf’s literary criticism models a novel approach to taste-training that prioritizes the individual freedom of common readers who must learn to attend to books that give them pleasure. Sensuous Pedagogies also reads Lawrence’s literary criticism as reparative, Woolf’s fiction as sustained feminist pedagogy, and their respective theories of life and love as fundamentally entangled with pedagogical concerns.
Dust Formation in the Nova V1533 Scorpii
Authors: Rudy Richard J. , Russell Ray W. , Sitko Michael L. 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
We present infrared spectroscopy from two epochs of V1533 Scorpii (=Nova Scorpii 2013); one from immediately before dust formation and a second, from one month later when dust formation was complete. The pre-dust spectrum shows strong lines of C i, features that weakened considerably but were still present after dust formation. Also present in the post-formation spectrum was O i emission from the neutral region, indicating that dust formation did not full deplete either carbon or oxygen. While thermal emission from the dust, of a temperature very close to 870 K, dominated the later spectrum, the extinction did not change measurably between epochs, indicating that little or no dust blocked the line-of-sight. Although carbon monoxide was not detected in the first epoch spectrum, weak emission from molecular hydrogen may have been present.
Physical Constraints on Motility with Applications to Possible Life on Mars and Enceladus
Authors: Lingam Manasvi , Loeb Abraham 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Motility is a ubiquitous feature of microbial life on Earth, and is widely regarded as a promising biosignature candidate. In the search for motile organisms, it is therefore valuable to have rough estimates for the number of such microbes that one may expect to find in a given area or volume. In this work, we explore this question by employing a simple theoretical model that takes into account the amount of free energy available in a given environment and the energetic cost of motility. We present heuristic upper bounds for the average biomass density and the number density of motile lifeforms for the Martian subsurface and the ocean of Enceladus by presuming that the motile microbes in question derive their energy from methanogenesis. We consequently demonstrate that the resultant densities of motile organisms might be potentially comparable to, or much lower than, the total microbial densities documented in various extreme environments on Earth.

Globally, prostate cancer is a disease of public health importance and it is most common among men between 60 to 70 years of age. Distant primaries involving supraclavicular nodes secondary to prostate cancer is very rare. This report is a case of an unusual presentation of prostate cancer manifesting as a huge neck mass in a 61-year-old man from Kumasi, Ghana, who had complete regression of the mass after androgen deprivation therapy. Carcinoma of the prostate should be considered among the differential diagnoses in any elderly male presenting with a neck mass.Journal of Medical and Biomedical Sciences (2016) 5(2), 1-4
