Published: December 2018

Introduction: The complexity of patients' needs in today's health care calls for a revision and extension of nursing professions to ensure optimal health care outcomes. The aim of the research was to assess the understanding of the four categories of the nursing care continuum and, accordingly, four categories of nursing care providers.Methods: A descriptive, quantitative research design was employed. Participants included 365 nursing educators and nurses working in the clinical setting. The structured questionnaire used was based on the four categories of the nursing care continuum.Results: Secondary school teachers expressed significantly lower agreement with the terming of health care assistant (p < 0.001), and with the general (p < 0.001) and specific (p < 0.001) competencies of this profession, contrary to management workers (p < 0.001) and those trained in research (p = 0.030) and evidence-based care (p = 0.004) who expressed higher agreement with the competencies of health care assistants.Discussion and conclusion: The research draws attention to the issue of understanding and applying the competencies of health care assistants. In order to implement the workforce matrix of competences, the European Directive on regulated professions should be supplemented with minimum requirements for specialist knowledge and advanced practice in nursing. In addition, the competencies and minimum educational requirements for health care assistants should be defined.

Published: December 2018

Abstract
Knowing the reflection, transmission, and absorption properties of the yarns from which the woven fabric is made, prediction of a fabric’s UV-protective properties is simple. Using the geometrical properties of monofilament yarns and fabrics, which were determined optically, and following the cover factor theory, we have determined the areas of fabrics covered with no yarns, only one yarn, and two yarns. From a special selected set of high-module polyethylene terephthalate (PET) monofilament materials (e.g., fabrics), we have elaborated a method for determining the reflection, transmission, and absorption of yarns. By first defining the differently covered areas of fabrics, we were able to use them in a mathematical model for calculating and predicting the UV-protective properties of the fabrics. The calculated and measured values of the UV-protective properties of the selected test fabrics were highly correlated, with a correlation coefficient >0.98.
Numerical Exploration of MHD Radiative Micropolar Liquid Flow Driven by Stretching Sheet with Primary Slip: A Comparative Study

Published: December 2018

Abstract
The knowledge of thermal transport of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows across a stretching sheet plays a crucial role for transportation, fiber coating, heat exchangers, etc. Due to this fact, we scrutinize the heat transfer features of MHD micropolar fluid flow via a stretching surface in the neighborhood of the stagnation point with Joule heating, by taking advantage of the classical Fourier law. The flow equations are transformed into dimensionless form with the help of suitable similarity transformations. The Runge–Kutta-based shooting method is utilized to solve the converted non-linear coupled equations. Impacts of various physical parameters on the flow fields are represented via graphs. The heat transfer rate, couple stress coefficient and friction factor are presented in a separate table. Results anticipate that fluid temperature is an increasing function of Eckert number, radiation and magnetic parameters, whereas an opposite outcome is noticed for the Prandtl number. It is interesting to notice that the maximum velocity is attained in the absence of slip but maximum temperature is detected in the presence of slip.

Abstract
Olthof, SBH, Frencken, WGP, and Lemmink, KAPM. A match-derived relative pitch area facilitates the tactical representativeness of small-sided games for the official soccer match. J Strength Cond Res 33(2): 523–530, 2019—Small-sided games (SSGs) are a promising training format in soccer to replicate (situations of) the official match across all age groups. Typically, SSGs are played on a smaller relative pitch area (RPA; i.e., <150 m2) than the match (320 m2 RPA), which results in different tactical demands. To create a more precise replication of tactical match demands in SSGs with less than 11 players per team, a match-derived RPA (320 m2) may be considered because this affords a similar playing area per player. In addition, subgroup analysis is necessary to deal with the different number of players in match and SSGs. Therefore, this study aims to investigate tactical demands of matches and various SSGs—with a different number of players and played on 320 m2 RPA—in talented youth soccer players. Twelve elite soccer teams in 4 age categories (under-13, under-15, under-17, and under-19) played official matches and 4 vs. 4 + goalkeepers (GKs), 6 vs. 6 + GKs, and 8 vs. 8 + GKs. Positional data were collected to calculate tactical variables (interpersonal distances, length, width, and surface areas) for all players and for 2- and 4-player subgroups. Corresponding tactical variability (coefficients of variation expressed as percentages) was determined for all players. Results demonstrated that in each age category, with an increase in number of players, team distances increased and tactical variability decreased. Subgroup analyses revealed similar team distances in matches and SSGs with the exception of larger interpersonal distances in 4 vs. 4 + GKs than the match in under-13, under-15, and under-17. Match-derived RPA in SSGs facilitates the tactical representativeness for the match. Soccer coaches can use such SSGs for an optimal tactical match preparation.

The biosynthesis of compounds with antibiotic activity produced by marine fungi, strongly depends on their growth conditions. A good understanding of the role of culture conditions in the biosynthesis of metabolites may lead to better exploitation of microbial metabolites. In this study, the influence of culture conditions including incubation period, initial pH and salinity on antimicrobial activity and secondary metabolites production of marine fungus 01NT.1.1.5 was investigated. This isolate, obtained from sponge Stylissa sp. in Nha Trang Bay, exhibited a broad spectrum of in vitro antimicrobial activity to Bacillus cereus ATCC 11778, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19111, Streptococcus faecalis ATCC 19433 and Candida albicans ATCC 10231. According to morphological characteristics and sequence analysis of 28S rDNA, the fungus was identified as Aspergillus flocculosus. The results indicated that antimicrobial activity and metabolite amount were highest when the fungus was cultivated in rice medium with incubation period of 20 days. The optimum salinity of 35 g/L and initial pH of 6.0 were found for the maximum antibiotic production. The colony growth, antimicrobial activity and production of secondary metabolites of the strain A. flocculosus 01NT.1.1.5 varied depending on salt concentrations and initial pH of medium. Particularly, extract of this fungus only showed activity against C. albicans when it was cultured in medium with 30-35 g/L salinity and initial pH 4.0-8.0. The results indicate that salinity and initial pH along with cultivation period are important factors inﬂuencing antimicrobial activity and secondary metabolites of A. flocculosus 01NT.1.1.5, and might be for other marine fungi.

Published: December 2018

Abstract
Roots and shoots of ‘Yorktown II’ perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) were regenerated from callus tissue on half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) or half-strength Gamborg B-5 media without addition of growth regulators. Optimum shoot formation occurred using a B-5 basal medium with 0.1 mg/liter 6-benzylamino purine (BA) while 0.1-0.5 mg/liter 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) enhanced root development. Callus maintained with 10 mg/liter 2,4-D had less potential for regeneration than callus maintained with 5 mg/liter.

Postharvest Changes in Fruit Composition of Annona atemoya during Ripening and Effects of Storage Temperature on Ripening
Authors: Wills R. B. H. , Poi A. , Greenfield H. , Rigney C. J. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Respiration and ethylene production were determined daily on fruit of A. atemoya Hort. stored at 20°C from preclimacteric to postclimacteric stages. At 5 stages, fruit were analyzed for water, sugars, starch, organic acids, Vitamin C, thiamin, titratable acidity, pH, and total soluble solids. The major changes during ripening were a continuous decrease in starch, a continuous increase in fructose and glucose, an increase in sucrose to a maximum at the climacteric, an increase in malic acid early in the climacteric rise, and a decrease in Vitamin C after the climacteric. Eating quality was optimal 2 days after the climacteric and the levels of protein, fat, dietary fiber, ash, sodium, potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, riboflavin, niacin, α-carotene, β-carotene, cryptoxanathin, energy content, and edible portion were determined at this stage. Fruit were stored at temperatures from 0° to 25°. The safe range of storage temperature was between 15° and 25° with 20° being the optimum for the development of eating quality but with 15° giving the longest delay in ripening. Storage at lower temperatures gave rise to symptoms typical of chilling injury.
Susceptibility of Peach Tree Pruning Wounds to Fungal Gummosis as Affected by Time of Pruning
Authors: Reilly Charles C. , Okie W. R. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Four-year-old trees of ‘Redglobe’ peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] were pruned on 1 Mar. and again on 15 Aug. 1982 and the pruning wounds inoculated with spore suspensions of Botryosphaeria dothidea [(Moug. ex. Fr.) Ces & de Not. (B. ribis Gross & Dugg.)]. Spring-pruned trees were susceptible to invasion for only the first week after pruning as determined by visual gum ratings and reisolation rates. Summer-pruned trees were susceptible for a similar period, but fungal isolation frequency was much lower than for the spring-pruned trees. A benomyl-captan spray immediately after summer pruning reduced both gumming and isolation frequency.
Translocation of Photosynthetic Products from Source Leaves to Aligned Juice Segments in Citrus Fruit
Authors: Koch K. E. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Translocation of 14C-photosynthetic products from source leaves to fruit segments in direct vertical alignment to them was examined in ‘Hamlin’ sweet orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] and ‘Marsh’ grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.). A single source leaf nearest (or next nearest) to a fruit was exposed for 1 hour to 14CO2 and then flushed with ambient air for 5 hours. Source, path, and sink tissues were separated and fruit was longitudinally quartered with respect to source-leaf attachment position. About 20% of the total 14C-photosynthate was translocated into the fruit within 6 hours. The quarter aligned directly to the source leaf was allocated 77% and 85% of these assimilates in sweet oranges and grapefruit, respectively.
Remote Sensing Techniques for Assessing Water Deficits and Modeling Crop Response
Authors: Kanemasu E. T. , Asrar G. , Yoshida M. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Water availability and temperature are 2 primary environmental parameters that frequently limit plant growth. The effects of these factors are difficult to separate; however, this paper will be directed primarily at water deficit. Plant responses to water deficit have been difficult to model because of different response times involved and the problem of quantifying water deficit (severity vs. duration). For example, response times for cell enlargement and leaf abscission are much different and yet their direct effects on transpiration and photosynthesis may be the same. Transpiration and photosynthesis are key processes in crop yield models. Transpiration is an energy-consuming process, which is strongly controlled by leaf area and stomatal conductance. Photosynthesis, on the other hand, is a quantum-requiring process, which is dependent to a large extent upon the interception of visible light and the diffusive conductance of CO2. Solar radiation provides both energy for transpiration and quanta for photosynthesis.

Authors: Qu Kaiyang , Wei Leyi , Zou Quan 
Published: December 2018

Background:DNA-binding proteins, binding to DNA, widely exist in living cells, participating in many cell activities. They can participate some DNA-related cell activities, for instance DNA replication, transcription, recombination, and DNA repair.Objective:Given the importance of DNA-binding proteins, studies for predicting the DNA-binding proteins have been a popular issue over the past decades. In this article, we review current machine-learning methods which research on the prediction of DNA-binding proteins through feature representation methods, classifiers, measurements, dataset and existing web server.Method:The prediction methods of DNA-binding protein can be divided into two types, based on amino acid composition and based on protein structure. In this article, we accord to the two types methods to introduce the application of machine learning in DNA-binding proteins prediction.Results:Machine learning plays an important role in the classification of DNA-binding proteins, and the result is better. The best ACC is above 80%.Conclusion:Machine learning can be widely used in many aspects of biological information, especially in protein classification. Some issues should be considered in future work. First, the relationship between the number of features and performance must be explored. Second, many features are used to predict DNA-binding proteins and propose solutions for high-dimensional spaces.
Malignant Transformation of Ossifying Fibroma into Parosteal Osteosarcoma with High-grade Component: Presentation of an Unusual Case and Review of the Literature
Authors: Abtahi Jahan , Ajan Aida 
Published: December 2018

Background:
Parosteal Osteosarcoma of the Jaw (POSJ) is a rare entity that is associated with a high survival rate. Several case reports and case series of POSJ have been published in the literature, but few authors have described development of this tumor by possible transformation from a fibro-osseous neoplasm.

Objective:
We present a rare occurrence of parosteal osteosarcoma with involvement of the posterior maxilla, orbit floor, and infra-temporal fossa in a 20-year-old man. Furthermore, we performed a literature review regarding clinical, radiological, and histological features; treatment strategies; and etiology/pathophysiology.

Methods:
A PubMed search yielded a total of 74 articles and the articles were sorted according to their corresponding key area of focus.

Results:
This was a case of POSJ with high-grade component in the maxillofacial region of a 20-year old male. Co-expression of MDM2 and CDK4 was confirmed. At 2.5-year follow-up, the patient had died. The literature review revealed 18 articles including 20 cases of POSJ. Four cases represent the possible development of this tumor by transformation from a fibro-osseous neoplasm: Two cases of fibrous dysplasia, one case of cemento-ossifying fibroma, and the case of Ossifying Fibroma (OF) in the present study.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, we found an unusual case of POSJ of the midface in a patient with a previous diagnosis of OF in the same region. To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of development of POSJ in OF. Furthermore, this is the first described case of high-grade surface osteosarcoma in the craniofacial region.

Authors: Babenko Alina Y , Mosikian Anna A , Lebedev Denis L , Khrabrova Elizaveta A , Shlyakhto Evgeniy V 
Published: December 2018

Aim:
To identify correlations between quality of life (QoL), emotional and mental state in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to evaluate its contribution in prediction of compliance.
Materials & methods:
The T2DM patients aged 18–75 years with at least 12 weeks of stable hypoglycemic therapy were included to this cross-sectional study. We used Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) for mental state assessment, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for anxiety and depression level and EQ-5D for QoL. Compliance level was self-reported by patients.
Results:
The QoL positively correlates with MMSE score (p < 0.0001) and negatively with HADS anxiety (p < 0.0001) and depression (p < 0.0001) levels. The MMSE score is higher (p < 0.0001), and both HADS levels are lower (p < 0.01) in patients with higher compliance level.
Conclusion:
Cognitive function and psychoemotional state in T2DM patients are important for treatment compliance and QoL and are to be corrected whenever possible.
