Published: January 2021

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the participation of nursing faculty in faculty clinical practice in the Kenyan universities.Methodology: This was a cross sectional descriptive survey. All the universities with nursing programs in the country were purposively selected. Data was then analyzed through descriptive statistics using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS version 23.0).Chi-square test was used to test associations between selected independent and dependent variables.Results: The study found out that most nursing faculty is participating in clinical practice though they have limited knowledge of the models of faculty clinical practice. However there are barriers and enablers that seem to influence their practice. Freedom to choose level of engagement and universities’ administrative support were the top most enablers of faculty clinical practice. The top most barriers towards faculty clinical practice were increased workload and insufficient time to practice. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Faculty clinical practice is vital and for it to be successful universities need to come up with a defined framework

Published: January 2021

Objetivo: Evaluar la remoción de materia orgánica (DQOT) del efluente de un reactor piloto UASB tratado por la hidrófita Myriophyllum aquaticum (Verll). Métodos: Se establecieron 2 sistemas de tratamiento, con planta acuática (SCP) y un control (SSP). La evaluación se determinó a un caudal de 0,872 ml/s bajo un TRH de 1,7 días a flujo continuo. Los primeros parámetros analizados se realizaron con una frecuencia diaria: pH, Temperatura (°C), Conductividad (uS/cm), Turbidez (NTU), mientras que los siguientes parámetros se analizaron semanalmente: DQOT (mg/L), Oxígeno disuelto (mg/L), durante cinco semanas. Resultados: Los parámetros que mostraron variación en los sistemas fueron el pH (7,73±0,16 (SSP) y 7,7±0,4 (SCP)), temperatura (17,83±0,88 (SSP) y 17,78±0,95 (SCP)), un aumento de OD (2,2 a 5,2 (SSP) y 2,2 a 7,7 (SCP)), conductividad eléctrica (1055 a 236 (SSP) y 1082 a 1233,5 (SCP)). Se muestra una correlación entre el DQOT y el OD (R2=0,89) con buen grado de estimación, explicando que un aumento de OD disminuye el DQOT. Conclusiones: El uso de la hidrófita M. aquaticum (Verll) demostró la remoción parcial de materia orgánica, por lo que resulta atractivo su uso para un post-tratamiento de efluentes urbanos provenientes de reactores UASB.Palabras clave: Myriophyllum aquaticum (Verll.), reactor UASB, agua residual, condiciones tropicales.

Abstract. Black carbon (BC) forms an important component of particulate
matter globally, due to its impact on climate, the environment and human
health. Identifying and quantifying its emission sources are critical for
effective policymaking and achieving the desired reduction in air pollution.
In this study, we present the first direct measurements of urban BC fluxes
using eddy covariance. The measurements were made over Beijing within the
UK-China Air Pollution and Human Health (APHH) winter 2016 and summer 2017
campaigns. In both seasons, the mean measured BC mass (winter: 5.49 ng m−2 s−1, summer: 6.10 ng m−2 s−1) and number fluxes
(winter: 261.25 particles cm−2 s−1, summer: 334.37 particles cm−2 s−1) were similar. Traffic was determined to be the
dominant source of the BC fluxes measured during both seasons. The total BC
emissions within the 2013 Multi-resolution Emission Inventory for China
(MEIC) are on average too high compared to measured fluxes by a factor of
58.8 (winter) and 47.2 (summer). Only a comparison with the MEIC transport sector shows that emissions
are also larger (factor of 37.5 in winter and 37.7 in summer) than the measured flux.
Emission ratios of BC ∕ NOx and BC ∕ CO are comparable to vehicular
emission control standards implemented in January 2017 for gasoline (China 5) and diesel (China V) engines, indicating a reduction of BC emissions within
central Beijing, and extending this to a larger area would further reduce
total BC concentrations.
Modelling a tropical-like cyclone in the Mediterranean Sea under present and warmer climate

Published: January 2021

Abstract. This study focuses on a single Mediterranean hurricane (hereafter medicane), to investigate its response to global warming during the middle of the 21st century and assesses the effects of a warmer ocean and a warmer
atmosphere on its development. Our investigation uses the state-of-the-art
regional climate model WRF to produce the six-member, multi-physics ensembles. Results show that our model setup simulates a realistic cyclone track and the transition from an initial disturbance to a tropical-like cyclone with a deep warm core. However, the simulated transition occurs earlier than for the observed medicane. The response of the medicane to future climate change is investigated with a pseudo global warming (PGW) approach. This is the first application of the PGW framework to medicanes. The PGW approach adds a climate change delta (defined as difference between future and present climate) to WRF's boundary conditions which is obtained for all prognostic variables using the mean change in an ensemble of CMIP5 simulations. A PGW simulation where the climate change delta is added to all prognostic variables (PGWALL) shows that most of the medicane characteristics moderately intensify, e.g. surface wind speed, uptake of water vapour, and precipitation. However, the minimum sea level pressure (SLP) is almost identical to that under present climate conditions. Two additional PGW simulations were undertaken; One simulation adds the projected change in sea surface and skin temperature only (PGWSST) while the second simulation adds the PGW changes to only atmospheric variables (PGWATMS); i.e. we use present-day sea surface temperatures. These simulations show opposing responses of the medicane. In PGWSST, the medicane is more intense than
PGWALL as indicated by lower SLP values, the stronger surface wind, and the more intense evaporation and precipitation. In contrast, the
medicane in PGWATMS still transitions into a tropical-like cyclone with a deep warm core, but the PGWATMS medicane weakens considerably (SLP, surface wind, and rainfall decrease). This difference can be explained by an increase in water vapour driven by the warmer ocean surface (favourable for cumulus convection). The warmer and drier atmosphere in PGWATMS tends to inhibit condensation (unfavourable for cumulus convection). The warmer ocean and warmer atmosphere have counteracting effects which leads to only a modest enhancement of the medicane by global warming. The novel approach in this study provides new insights into the different roles of warming of the ocean and atmosphere in medicane development.
Feeling Racial Pride in the Mode of Frederick Douglass
Authors: Fischer Jeremy 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
Drawing on Frederick Douglass's arguments about racial pride, this article develops and defends an account of feeling racial pride that centers on resisting racialized oppression. Such pride is racially ecumenical in that it does not imply partiality toward one's own racial group. This article argues that it can both accurately represent its intentional object and be intrinsically and extrinsically valuable to experience. It follows that there is, under certain conditions, a morally unproblematic, and plausibly valuable, kind of racial pride available to White people, though one that could hardly differ more from what is generally meant by “White pride.”
Marketing in a socially connected world: the impact of value on sharing of commercial videos

Published: January 2021

The viral marketing offers answers for the structuring and disseminating fast and large-scale information in favor of content, products, and their brands. Sustained by the growth of technological users, social networks and mobile technology, video viewing, posts, and sharing, it has become an everyday action. Thus, the organizations started to produce commercial videos and dissemination them in the social networks, where consumer users share what they identify themselves with. Lister (2018) highlights that a video that is socially shared generates 1.200% more shares than the text and images combined. Video is a trend in terms of online communication, as millions of dollars are spent on these efforts to persuade and generate an impact on their audiences target monthly (Lister, 2018). However, most of the studies about video sharing are related to consumer content, not firm generated content. In this sense, the central objective of this study is to identify the antecedents of commercial video sharing and its impact on the consumers' attitudes. The videos that were mostly seen on YouTube in 2017 and the top of mind brands were selected as the research's corpus. A total of 368 questionnaires were collected, preceded by the viewing of the videos that were selected. The results reveal significant impacts of the entertainment value and utility value with the intention of sharing videos, but the social value has no significant impact. In this sense, this study contributed by identifying content and persuasion strategies for firms in order to earn media from sharing of commercial videos, which every day more represent a larger share in the organizations' communication budget.
Sustainable Treatment of Heavy Metals by Adsorption on Raw Chitin/Chitosan
Authors: Fatima Boukhlifi 
Published: January 2021

The objective of this chapter was to treat metal pollution of wastewater rich in Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ ions by adsorption tests on the raw chitin/chitosan. Different origin namely shrimp (Ccre), crab (Ccra) and lobster (Clan). Raw shrimp chitin had a strong affinity for Pb2+ and Cd2+. The adsorption capacity of zinc on the crabs chitin is twice as great as that on the shrimp chitin. The kinetic study showed that more than 50% of these ions are adsorbed before equilibrium is reached (20 minutes). The adsorption kinetics also showed that the hardness of the shells has a negative effect on the kinetics of the adsorption process. Indeed, the adsorption of Pb2+ on the raw chitin shrimp requires only 30 minutes, while on the raw chitin lobster; the equilibrium time is 60 minutes. To ensure a sustainable treatment, sludge generated by adsorption of heavy metals was incinerated at high temperature. Incineration has led to calcite phases, which do not represent any toxicity on the environment and it can be recycled in the industry of solid materials (ceramics, cement, etc.). However, the regeneration of sludge by the acid changes the structure of the material and gives new adsorbent supports.

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), occupying about 80% of the African continent is a heterogeneous region with estimated population of 1.1 billion people in 47 countries. Most belong to the low resource countries (LRCs). The high prevalence of end-organ diseases of kidney, liver, lung and heart makes provision of organ donation and transplantation necessary. Although kidney and heart transplantations were performed in South Africa in the 1960s, transplant activity in SSA lags behind the developed world. Peculiar challenges militating against successful development of transplant programmes include high cost of treatment, low GDP of most countries, inadequate infrastructural and institutional support, absence of subsidy, poor knowledge of the disease condition, poor accessibility to health-care facilities, religious and trado-cultural practices. Many people in the region patronize alternative healthcare as first choice. Opportunities that if harnessed may alter the unfavorable landscape are: implementation of the 2007 WHO Regional Consultation recommendations for establishment of national legal framework and self-sufficient organ donation/transplantation in each country and adoption of their 2020 proposed actions for organ/transplantation for member states, national registries with sharing of data with GODT, prevention of transplant commercialization and tourism. Additionally, adapting some aspects of proven successful models in LRCs will improve transplantation programmes in SSA.

Abstract
THIS ARTICLE INVESTIGATES HOW THE PATIENT PORTAL MYCHART IS CURRENTLY EMBEDDED IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE COLLABORATIVE CARE FOR PEOPLE IN REHABILITATION OR LIVING WITH CHRONIC DISEASE. WE AIM TO SENSITIZE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT LOGICS OF CARE (MOL, 2008), CARE INFRASTRUCTURES (DANHOLT & LANGSTRUP, 2012) AND THE PUSH FOR SELF-CARE TO THE ROLE OF INFORMATION, MEDIATED COMMUNICATION AND PARTICIPATION IN ACHIEVING GOOD CARE. WE BASE OUR ARGUMENT ON FINDINGS FROM FIELDWORK AMONG PATIENTS AND CLINICIANS AT TWO HOSPITAL UNITS FOR GASTROENTEROLOGY AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES IN COPENHAGEN AROUND THE IMPLEMENTATION AND USE OF MYCHART FOR INFORMATION, COMMUNICATION AND PARTICIPATION IN SELF-CARE. OUR FIELDWORK INDICATES THAT PATIENTS HAVE CLEAR – BUT VERY DIFFERENT – PREFERENCES FOR ACCESSING AND ENGAGING WITH INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION THROUGH MYCHART. WE LINK THESE MODES TO EXPERIENCES OF AUTHORITY, ROLE-EXPECTATIONS AND THE PROSPECT FOR JOINT DECISION-MAKING IN HEALTHCARE. WE SUGGEST THAT THE INTRODUCTION OF MORE COMMUNICATIVE FLEXIBILITY FOR SOME PATIENTS SPEAKS TO AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN CONTEMPORARY CARE INFRASTRUCTURES, REGARDING MEDIA CHOICE. THIS CHOICE, WHILE SEEMINGLY TRIVIAL, GRANTS THE PATIENT COMMUNICATION AGENCY AT A POINT WHERE THE PATIENT CAN ACTUALLY MASTER THE ROLE OF ACTIVE PARTNER IN CARE. WE FURTHER SUGGEST THAT ATTENDING TO OFTEN OVERLOOKED RITUAL ASPECTS OF COMMUNICATION MAY HELP QUALIFY ANALYSES OF CARE IN PURSUIT OF A GOOD LIFE.
