Abstract

We measure the age of soil organic matter (SOM) in soil depth profiles using fallout radionuclide (FRN) chronometry. The FRN age model quantifies the well-known lag in ∆14C which is the time between biological carbon fixation and its incorpration into SOM 1–3. The FRN model also reveals sharp excursions in ∆14C at depth to extremely old ages, which we attribute to legacy petrogenic, pedogenic, or passive carbon pools because corresponding soil carbon fluxes based on legacy ∆14C do not reconcile with independent ecosystem measures. FRN ages may thus resolve a foundational uncertainty regarding ages of SOM, agreeing with mass balance of carbon pools and fluxes at both soil profile and global scales 4,5, 𝛿13C experiments at profile and global scales 6,7, compilation of global experimental soil carbon fluxes 8, and independent 35Cl bomb-pulse dating 9. We confirm that the pool of SOM relevant to climate transition is up to 10 times younger than deduced from global ∆14C turnover times. We thereby estimate that temperate and tropical forest soils store ca. 10% of Net Primary Productivity (NPP) over decadal timescales. These observations demonstrate that SOM cycling is more dynamic than deduced from 14C and may respond rapidly to both climate change as well as mitigation efforts aimed at sequestering atmospheric CO2 over annual to decadal timescales.
The non-medical factors affecting the level of inter-facility transfers of care among rural Israeli breast cancer patients
Authors: Hovav Boaz , Brammli-Greenberg Shuli 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Purpose
Inter-facility transfers of care during breast cancer treatment occurred in 37% of cases in previous studies, leading to treatment delays and decreased survival. The reasons for such transfers were scarcely studied. The study aimed to identify the factors affecting facility transfers among breast cancer patients.
Patients and Methods:
198 Hebrew-speaking Israeli women, aged 32 to 81, diagnosed with breast cancer up to five years earlier, now considered disease-free participated in a mixed-methods study. 19 in-depth qualitative interviews were analyzed and used to construct a ten-part, 78-item questionnaire, which tracked 179 patient's treatment from biopsy to recovery, focusing on treatment decisions and the factors and perceptions influencing them.
Results
Participants reported high rates of inter-facility transfers. 60% of the participants transferred between biopsy and surgery, motivated by facility type (OR = 15.15) and level of trust (OR = 2.58). 67% transferred between the biopsy and neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, and about 53% of those who had neo-adjuvant chemotherapy transferred prior to surgery. Following surgery, participants requiring radiation therapy transferred 90% of times, driven by the low availability of radiotherapy equipment in rural Israel (OR = 31.87) or by the staff’s attitude (OR = 8.32). Participants who needed adjuvant chemotherapy transferred 49% of cases, motivated by the staff’s attitude (OR = 38.4) and transferred again in 81% of the cases for radiotherapy.
Conclusion
Lower availability of cancer treatments in rural areas, lack of trust in the facility staff and demographic factors lead to inter-facility transfers that may lead to treatment delays and increased morbidity.
Do Budget Deficits Benefit or Harm Economic Growth? Evidence from African Countries Applying a Threshold Analysis
Authors: Mwigeka Samwel 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Economic expansion in recent years has been linked to a sharp increase in budget deficits. It is therefore imperative to cross-check their relationship. The study uses system GMM, quasi maximum likelihood, and bias-corrected dynamic panel estimator for estimation using panel data from 1996 to 2022. The findings show that budget deficits and economic growth have a statistically significant positive association. The study has determined a threshold value through a dynamic panel threshold model in gauging the effect of budget deficits on economic growth. The results indicate a single threshold impact that produced a threshold level of 14.3% thus confirming the prevalence of a non-linear relationship. The findings show that budget deficits significantly harm the upper regime on economic growth and show mean-reverting behavior over the threshold. The results recommend that governments expand their tax base for government revenue by prioritizing strengthening revenue authorities and reducing spending on recurrent budgets.

Published: December 2024

The object of the research is the design of a series of competitions to form a high-performance team of members with a high level of productivity in interaction. Let’s mean that a highly effective team is a team of players who have high productivity of interaction in a pair.
Investigated problem: The purpose of the presented research is to formalize competition planning when forming a team based on the competition factor. The graph-theoretic formalization of the team formation problem on a complete undirected weighted graph has been developed by the authors in previous works. The edge weight is calculated by dividing the number of victories of the team, which includes a pair of participants, by the total number of teams, which includes this pair of participants. In these terms, the set of admissible solutions, the Pareto set, and the full set of alternatives of the two-criteria problem are studied. The criteria of the vector objective function formalize the achievement of maximum team efficiency.
The main scientific results: The article develops a method for constructing a competition design, which takes into account the factor of the possibility of practical implementation of the required number of competitions to enumerate the set of admissible solutions, methods for reducing the enumeration of the set of admissible solutions without loss of statistical significance. When choosing a design for a series of competitions, it is proposed to exclude restrictions on the number of formed teams and from calculating the number of meetings of a pair in a team, the probability of meeting a pair in a team. The methodology consists of three steps, which are illustrated by numerical examples.
The area of practical use of the research results: team building techniques in sports, IT project management, and enterprise management in competitive conditions.
Innovative technological product: the method for constructing a competition design.
Scope of the innovative technological product: building high-performance teams
Unveiling Students of Midwifery Needs towards HOTS-based English for Specific Purpose Reading Materials
Authors: Koller Muthia Zahranisa , Mirizon Soni , Eryansyah Eryansyah 
Published: December 2024

Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) are crucial in today’s fast-paced world of healthcare education. Healthcare professionals frequently encounter complex, unpredictable situations. HOTS enables them to assess patient conditions, make informed decisions, and solve problems effectively. These skills need to be taught to students of healthcare education. One of the ways is through the provision of HOTS-based learning materials in teaching English for specific purposes. The primary goal of this study was to investigate the students’ need for English in relation to their future careers as paramedics. This study explores the needs of DIII Midwifery Study Program students at the Health Polytechnic, Ministry of Health in Palembang. Using a mixed-method approach incorporating both quantitative and qualitative, the research data were gathered using surveys for collecting quantitative data and semi-structured interviews for collecting qualitative data. The data was examined utilizing the Target Situation Analysis, Deficiency Analysis, Present Situation Analysis, and Strategy Analysis criteria for requirements analysis put forward by Hutchinson and Waters (1987). The study revealed that students of the Midwifery Program had a high interest in learning English, especially HOTS-based English reading materials. Additionally, the lecturer of English was also in need of a specific source of English material related to midwifery to support students learning English for specific purposes, as such material was not available in her teaching context.
The Role of Clinician-Developed Applications in Promoting Adherence to Evidence-Based Guidelines: Pilot Study
Authors: Prakash Madhu Prita , Thiagalingam Aravinda 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background
Computerized clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are increasingly being used in clinical practice to improve health care delivery. Mobile apps are a type of CDSS that are currently being increasingly used, particularly in lifestyle interventions and disease prevention. However, the use of such apps in acute patient care, diagnosis, and management has not been studied to a great extent. The Pathway for Acute Coronary Syndrome Assessment (PACSA) is a set of guidelines developed to standardize the management of suspected acute coronary syndrome across emergency departments in New South Wales, Australia. These guidelines, which risk stratify patients and provide an appropriate management plan, are currently available as PDF documents or physical paper-based PACSA documents. The routine use of these documents and their acceptability among clinicians is uncertain. Presenting the PACSA guidelines on a mobile app in a sequential format may be a more acceptable alternative to the current paper-based PACSA documents.

Objective
This study aimed to assess the utility and acceptability of a clinician-developed app modeling the PACSA guidelines as an alternative to the existing paper-based PACSA documents in assessing chest pain presentations to the emergency department.

Methods
An app modeling the PACSA guidelines was created using the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) platform by a cardiologist, with a total development time of <3 hours. The app utilizes a sequential design, requiring participants to input patient data in a step-wise fashion to reach the final patient risk stratification. Emergency department doctors were asked to use the app and apply it to two hypothetical patient scenarios. Participants then completed a survey to assess if the PACSA app offered any advantages over the current paper-based PACSA documents

Results
Participants (n=31) ranged from junior doctors to senior physicians. Current clinician adherence to the paper-based PACSA documents was low with 55% (N=17) never using it in their daily practice. Totally, 42% of participants found the PACSA app easier to use compared to the paper-based PACSA documents and 58% reported that the PACSA app was also faster to use. The perceived usefulness of the PACSA app was similar to the perceived usefulness of the paper-based PACSA documents.

Conclusions
The PACSA app offers a more efficient and user-friendly alternative to the current paper-based PACSA documents and may promote clinician adherence to evidence-based guidelines. Additional studies with a larger number of participants are required to assess the transferability of the PACSA app to everyday practice. Furthermore, apps are relatively easy to develop using existing online platforms, with the scope for clinicians to develop such apps for other evidence-based guidelines and across different specialties.
”Det var som att hugga med machete i början – nu förfinar vi” – En studie av Samverkan för bästa skola som styrningsteknologi
Authors: Baltzer Charlotte , Lindster Norberg Eva-Lena 
Published: December 2024

SammanfattningSyftet med denna artikel är att diskutera hur den statliga interventionen Samverkan för bästa skola (SBS) styr rektorer i svensk grundskola. SBS är ett regeringsuppdrag till Skolverket som pågått sedan 2015 och vänder sig till skolor med låga resultat, vilka inte på egen hand förväntas kunna vända denna trend. Artikeln bygger på intervjuer med rektorer i grundskolan som deltagit i SBS. Ett resultat i studien är att rektorerna generellt är osäkra i sitt ledarskap och välkomnar det statliga stödet som handlar om att utveckla det systematiska kvalitetsarbetet. Enligt Foucault (2008) innebär detta att staten genom olika maktteknologier styr och reglerar rektorernas beteende i syfte att elevers kunskapsutveckling ska öka och ge högre resultat. Idén om effektiv intervention är en central aspekt inom den evidensbaserade praktiken, dvs. att administrera en behandling för att uppnå en viss effekt (Biesta, 2007). Denna rörelse är ett internationellt fenomen som bygger på ett tayloristiskt synsätt som vuxit fram sedan 1990-talet med sanktionssystem och offentlig rangordning av utbildning (Uljens, 2021a, 2021b). Forskning om tänkbara konsekvenser av SBS är ännu begränsad varför denna studie kan bidra genom analys av insamlat empiriskt material.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT
“It was like hacking with a machete in the beginning – now we are refining it” – A study of Collaboration for Best School as a governance technology
The purpose of this article is to discuss how the state intervention Collaboration for the Best School (CBS) governs principals in Swedish compulsory schools. CBS is a government assignment to the Swedish National Agency for Education which has been ongoing since 2015, and targets schools with low results that are not expected to be able to reverse this trend on their own. The article is based on interviews with compulsory school principals who have participated in SBS. One result of the study is that the principals are generally insecure in their leadership and welcome the government’s support, which especially focuses on developing the systematic quality work. According to Foucault (2008), this means that the state through various technologies of power controls and regulates the principals’ behavior, in order to increase students’ knowledge development and produce higher grades. The idea of effective intervention is a central aspect within evidence-based practice, i.e. administering a treatment to achieve a certain effect (Biesta, 2007). This is an international phenomenon based on a Taylorist approach that has emerged since the 1990s with sanction system and public ranking of education (Uljens, 2021a, 2021b). Research on possible consequences of CBS is still limited, therefore this study can contribute in this field through analysis of collected empirical material.

Health powder drinks are drinks made from powder or granules in a mixture of sugar, fruit, and spices, usually served quickly by brewing, and contain many nutritional and non-nutritional elements. Identify the physical evaluation of powder, quality requirement test (Indonesian National Standard (SNI)), and hedonic test of lemon juice (Citrus limon L.), ginger (Zingiber officinale), and porang flour (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume) health powder beverage. This study was experimental, by making lemon and ginger juice powder using a freeze-drying instrument. Lemon, ginger, and porang flour powders were formulated in 3 formulas. Then, the physical evaluation of the powder involving a quality requirement test (SNI) and hedonic test was conducted. The results of physical evaluation tests which include (organoleptic, flow time, angle of repose, specific gravity, water content, and dissolving time) and quality requirements tests which include (water content and ash content) show that powdered drinks meet the physical requirements of powders and quality requirements (SNI). Hedonic taste, color, aroma, and texture tests differ from the three formulas. Health powder drinks have a good physical evaluation of powders and quality requirements (SNI), and the most favored formula by panelists is formula 3.

Construction of Stock Portfolios Based On K-means Clustering of Continuous Trend Features
Authors: Firmansyah Hilmi , Rosadi Dedi 
Published: December 2024

Optimal portfolio formation to reduce investment risk and increase returns is a concern for investors. There are various problems when investing with portfolio formation. First, it is difficult to select a pool of assets for portfolio formation. When the number of potential assets is relatively large, it will be difficult to select assets that fulfill portfolio formation and appropriate weights. Traditional portfolio theory such as "Markowitz portfolio theory" is only used for the calculation of appropriate weights but cannot be used to automatically select assets from a pool of assets. Secondly, traditional portfolio theory calculates its weights only based on the covariance relationship between different stocks and market data is not taken into account. Thirdly, the sharpe ratio calculation is used to evaluate investment returns but does not consider risk aversion when stocks go down. Therefore, this thesis aims at portfolio formation based on sustainable trend characteristics. Utilization of k-means clustering is used to group assets, divide different types of asset pools, and calculation of sharpe ratio based on sustainable trend characteristics to avoid downside risk. In addition, it is also combined with the calculation of equal weight for each asset, inverse volatility, risk parity, and Markowitz portfolio theory.
