Authors: Gupta Deepak , Kaushik Sandeep , Shukla Reetika , Mishra Virendra Kumar 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Surface water chemistry of the upper Narmada River was investigated at 13 different locations for four consecutive years (2017–2020) during pre- and post-monsoon seasons. The main objective of the study was to identify the processes governing the water chemistry of Narmada River and evaluate its suitability for irrigation. The physical parameters estimated were; pH (7.9 ± 0.4 for pre- and 8 ± 0.4 for post-monsoon seasons), EC (322.8±93.3 μS/cm for pre- and 312.1±80.2 μS/cm for post-monsoon) and TDS (203.4±41.5 mg/L for pre-and 213.4±48 mg/L for post-monsoon). The obtained concentration of cations and anions were in the order of Ca++ &gt; Na+ &gt; Mg++&gt; K+ and HCO3−&gt; Cl−&gt;SO4−&gt; NO3−&gt; PO4− respectively. Thus, the water of Narmada was found to be alkaline in nature. Piper diagram inferred that the water was dominated by Ca-Mg-HCO3− type of hydrochemical facies. Gibb's plot clarified that rock-water interaction regulates the ion chemistry of the Narmada. Various indices like sodium percentage (Na%), sodium absorption ration (SAR), Kelly index (Ki), permeability index (PI), magnesium hazard (MH) was calculated which showed that the surface water was suitable for irrigation. Lastly, one-way ANOVA (p &lt; 0.05) confirmed no significant differences in water quality except for temperature, EC and SO4−, for pre- and post-monsoon season.

:
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third leading cause of cardiovascular mortality. Patients with PE
can present with a wide array of symptoms, ranging from mild to life threatening. The mainstay of PE treatment
is anticoagulation; however, many advanced options are available for more severe patients, including catheter-
directed interventions, surgical treatments, and hemodynamic support. Although different risk scores and
clinical guidelines exist, the primary treating teams are frequently left uncertain on the most suitable treatment
for a specific complex patient. Pulmonary Embolism Response Teams (PERT), composed of multidisciplinary
experts, have emerged and been implemented in many centers and are available 24 hours a day to help guide
the primary team. PERTs have changed the way complex PE patients are managed. In centers with a PERT,
teams are called upon very frequently, and there is a significant increase in the use of advanced treatments for
PE, although there are differences between centers based upon the center's specific PERT protocol and available
capabilities. As PE is an evolving area, and more studies are necessary, PERTs around the world can help
advance the field and improve the treatment offered to PE patients.
Fourth Generation of Synthetic Cannabinoid Receptor Agonists: A Review on
the Latest Insights
Authors: Malaca Sara , Busardò Francesco P. , Nittari Giulio , Sirignano Ascanio , Ricci Giovanna 
Published: November 2021

Background:
Over the past few years, an emerging number of new psychoactive substances (NPSs)
entered the illicit market. NPSs are designed to resemble the effects of classical drugs of abuse, reinforcing
their effects and duration. Among the most abused NPS, synthetic cannabinoids are cannabinoid receptor agonists
(SCRAs) that mimic the effect of the main psychotropic phytocannabinoid Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

Methods:
We herein reviewed the international literature to provide available information on the newest
SCRAs generation.

Results:
Compared to the previous SCRAs generations, the structures of the last generation result in increased
affinity for and efficacy at cannabinoid CB1 receptors, which are thought to be mainly responsible for the psychoactive
effects of THC and its analogues. Accordingly, these more potent cannabimimetic effects may increase
the number of adverse reactions such as neurological disorders (e.g., psychosis, agitation, irritability,
paranoia, confusion, and anxiety), psychiatric episodes (e.g., hallucinations, delusions, self-harm), other physical
conditions (e.g., tachycardia, hypertension, arrhythmia, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever) and deaths.
In the last decade, more than a hundred SCRAs from different chemical classes emerged on the illicit web market.
SCRAs have been thoroughly studied: they were physico-chemically characterized, and pharmaco-toxicological
characteristics were investigated. The last SCRAs generations include increasingly potent and toxic compounds,
posing a potential health threat to consumers.

Conclusion:
From November 2017 to February 2021, at least 20 new “fourth-generation” SCRAs were formally
reported to international drug agencies. Our understanding of the neurotoxicity of these compounds is still
limited due to the lack of global data, but their potency and their toxicity are likely higher than those of the previous
generations.
Perceptions of Educational Needs in an Era of Shifting Mental Health Care to Primary Care: Exploratory Pilot Study
Authors: Sutherland Stephanie , Jeong Dahn , Cheng Michael , St-Jean Mireille , Jalali Alireza 
Published: November 2021

Background
There is an unmet need for mental health care in Canada. Primary care providers such as general practitioners and family physicians are the essential part of mental health care services; however, mental health is often underestimated and underprioritized by family physicians. It is currently not known what is required to increase care providers’ willingness, comfort, and skills to adequately provide care to patients who present with mental health issues.

Objective
The aim of this study was to understand the need of caregivers (family members overseeing care of an individual with a mental health diagnosis) and family physicians regarding the care and medical management of individuals with mental health conditions.

Methods
A needs assessment was designed to understand the educational needs of caregivers and family physicians regarding the provision of mental health care, specifically to seek advice on the format and delivery mode for an educational curriculum to be accessed by both stakeholder groups. Exploratory qualitative interviews were conducted, and data were collected and analyzed iteratively until thematic saturation was achieved.

Results
Caregivers of individuals with mental health conditions (n=24) and family physicians (n=10) were interviewed. Both the caregivers and the family physicians expressed dissatisfaction with the status quo regarding the provision of mental health care at the family physician’s office. They stated that there was a need for more educational materials as well as additional support. The caregivers expressed a general lack of confidence in family physicians to manage their son’s or daughter’s mental health condition, while family physicians sought more networking opportunities to improve and facilitate the provision of mental health care.

Conclusions
Robust qualitative studies are necessary to identify the educational and medical management needs of caregivers and family physicians. Understanding each other’s perspectives is an essential first step to collaboratively designing, implementing, and subsequently evaluating community-based mental health care. Fortunately, there are initiatives underway to address these need areas (eg, websites such as the eMentalHealth, as well as the mentorship and collaborative care network), and information from this study can help inform the gaps in those existing initiatives.
Telegramming Hate: Far-Right Themes on Dark Social Media
Authors: Al-Rawi Ahmed 
Published: November 2021

Background: This study empirically examines the multimodal discourses of far-right groups on mobile apps. Many fringe groups find Telegram a convenient platform to spread hate speech without the need to censor their content or fear being blocked from the platform. Analysis: This study collected all the posts from 15 far-right Telegram channels. The data was analyzed using a mixed-method approach, including an examination of profile images, hashtags, mentions, and emojis that have been weaponized to assist in hate dissemination. Conclusion and implications: The findings show that one major theme on Telegram revolves around white peoples’ perceived grievances and discussions on conservatism followed by the minorities as the problem.
Dietary Insulinemic Potential and Risk of Total and Cause-Specific Mortality in the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study
Authors: Wan Yi , Tabung Fred K. , Lee Dong Hoon , Fung Teresa T. , Willett Walter C. , Giovannucci Edward L. 
Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVE
Insulin response is related to overall health. Diet modulates insulin response. We investigated whether insulinemic potential of diet is associated with risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
We prospectively followed 63,464 women from the Nurses’ Health Study (1986–2016) and 42,880 men from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (1986–2016). Diet was assessed by food frequency questionnaires every 4 years. The insulinemic potential of diet was evaluated using a food-based empirical dietary index for hyperinsulinemia (EDIH), which was predefined based on predicting circulating C-peptide concentrations.

RESULTS
During 2,792,550 person-years of follow-up, 38,329 deaths occurred. In the pooled multivariable-adjusted analyses, a higher dietary insulinemic potential was associated with an increased risk of mortality from all-cause (hazard ratio [HR] comparing extreme quintiles: 1.33; 95% CI 1.29, 1.38; P-trend &lt;0.001), cardiovascular disease (CVD) (HR 1.37; 95% CI 1.27, 1.46; P-trend &lt;0.001), and cancers (HR 1.20; 95% CI 1.13, 1.28; P-trend &lt;0.001). These associations were independent of BMI and remained significant after further adjustment for other well-known dietary indices. Furthermore, compared with participants whose EDIH scores were stable over an 8-year period, those with the greatest increases had a higher subsequent risk of all-cause (HR 1.13; 95% CI 1.09, 1.18; P-trend &lt;0.001) and CVD (HR 1.10; 95% CI 1.01, 1.21; P-trend = 0.006) mortality.

CONCLUSIONS
Higher insulinemic potential of diet was associated with increased risk of all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality. Adopting a diet with low insulinemic potential might be an effective approach to improve overall health and prevent premature death.
Career Maturity and Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy as Predictors of Career Adaptability among Students in Foundation Program, Universiti Putra Malaysia
Authors: Abdul Rahim Nor Syazila , Wan Jaafar Wan Marzuki , Mohamad Arsad Nurazidawati 
Published: November 2021

Abstract: This study aims to examine the key predictors between career maturity and career decision-making self-efficacy on career adaptability among students in the Foundation Studies for the Agricultural Science programme at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). A quantitative research design using a questionnaire consists of career maturity, career decision-making self-efficacy and career adaptabilities was disseminated to the respondents. Using the cluster sampling method, a total of 329 students were involved in the study. The results indicate that these variables are significantly correlated and suggest that students who are able to have more career maturity or have more self-efficacy in their careers are more susceptible to self-adaptation. Employing hierarchical multiple regression analysis, it was discovered that career competency is the best predictor of career adaptability in relation to career maturity. Meanwhile, career goal-selection and career planning are the best predictors of career adaptability in relation to career decision-making self-efficacy. This study found that developing career maturity with a focus on students’ career competency and career decision-making self-efficacy with an emphasis on career goal-selection and career planning in higher education plays an important role in enhancing their overall career adaptability and preparing them for future career success.

Keywords: Career adaptability, career maturity, decision-making, self-efficacy

Published: November 2021

Abstract: This study investigated the principals’ communication styles and school culture in vocational colleges in Selangor. A total of 244 teachers involved in this study. Data was collected using Google Form due to the COVID-19 outbreak. This study adapted questionnaires known as “Principals’ Communication Styles Questionnaire for Teachers” (PCSQT) and Revised School Culture Element Questionnaire (RSCEQ) and employed a correlational research design. The findings revealed that most of the dominant communication styles practiced by the principals at vocational colleges in Selangor was assertive communication style. The results also showed that the level of school culture at vocational colleges in Selangor was high based on three factors which are shared leadership and vision, collegial teaching and learning, and professional commitment. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient was used to investigate the relationship between principals’ communication styles and school culture. The results showed a moderately significant relationship between principals’ communication styles and school culture at vocational colleges in Selangor. In
short, when principals are proven to be good role models for teachers, it is also important to enhance on the effective communication with useful tools and application for a highly needed leadership competency to enable them to work with teachers of varying characteristics.

Authors: Mat Isa Che Maznah , Chai Lian Oh , Chia Pao Liew , Mohd Saman Hamidah , Che Ibrahim Che Khairil Izam , Yusof Zulkiflee 
Published: November 2021

Abstract: The Engineering Accreditation Council Standard 2020 requires the stipulated 12 programme outcomes that address complex engineering problems (CEP) and complex engineering activities (CEA) to be incorporated in the engineering programmes. However, the implementation of outcome-based education with regards to CEP and CEA is still in the infancy stage. This study was carried out to give an overview of the implementation of complex engineering problems and activities in Malaysian engineering programmes in relation to the types of assessment used to address CEP and CEA, and the typical weightage and taxonomy level of CEP and CEA employed in these assessments. A survey questionnaire was administered to 256 engineering educators from 25 universities to enquire about the implementation of CEP and CEA in their engineering programmes, particularly in the online teaching and learning during the Covid19 pandemic. The findings showed that most of the programmes addressed complex engineering problems in assignments or projects as compared to final examinations or mid-term tests. Complex engineering activities were found to be addressed in Final Year Project, Industrial Training and Integrated Design Project and laboratory courses. The findings in this study could act as a guideline for educators to enhance the teaching and learning activities incorporating CEP and CEA elements, and hence facilitating the continual quality improvement for an engineering programme.

Published: November 2021

Abstract: This article presents the results of a study carried out to explore the elements of Young Adult Literature (YAL) present in the prescribed texts for Malaysian secondary school English as a second Language (ESL) students (3rd cycle). The three novels studied were; Captain Nobody by Dean Pitchford, Sing to the Dawn by MinFong Ho and Dear Mr. Kilmer by Ann Schraff. The lens of reader-response literary theory was used for the study. Sampling was purposeful with six young adult Malaysian university undergraduates participating in the study. Data came from participants’ in-depth written journal reflections during the reading of all three novels as well as from follow-up semi-structured qualitative interviews. The study found that all three novels discussed themes and events that were reflective of YAL such as family relationships and friendship. Two of the novels, Sing to the Dawn and Dear Mr. Kilmer had young adults as protagonists with significant instances of conflict between dependence and independence. The portrayal of the young adult protagonists also reflected the growth into mental and emotional maturity throughout the course of the novels although descriptions of their appearances and mannerisms were not clearly evident. There was however a positive resolution at the end of all the novels and the actions and decisions of the main young adult characters were major factors in the outcome of the conflict. The findings from this study primarily the presence of YAL elements would guide future decisions by curriculum planners on choices of suitable material in upper secondary ESL classrooms.

Reflexiones acerca del auditor externo y su responsabilidad
Authors: Rodriguez Viviana , Fabbroni Gabriela 
Published: November 2021

El presente ensayo tiene por objetivo determinar el tipo de responsabilidad del contador público como auditor externo, partiendo desde la tipificación del contrato que une al comitente y al auditor. Este trabajo hace alusión a la posible pérdida de credibilidad que podría tener la opinión de algunos contadores públicos en su función de auditores vertida en sus informes. De esta manera, se trata de concientizar a los contadores públicos de la necesidad de ejercer la auditoría externa de Estados Financieros con ética y responsabilidad.
El análisis se centra en la responsabilidad civil y penal, haciendo hincapié en que no es obligación del contador público en su rol de auditor externo detectar los posibles fraudes perpetuados en una organización. Luego de explicar el origen del fraude, se presentan ejemplos específicos para elaborar conclusiones que sean útiles a la comunidad académica y profesional. Se individualizan los contenidos y la normativa disponible a nivel internacional y nacional que resultan aplicables.
