Published: November 2024

IntroductionAnticipating and addressing implementation challenges is critical to ensuring success of mobile healthcare programs. Mobile Prosthetic and Orthotic (O&amp;P) Care (MoPOC) is a new U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) program that aims to improve access to VA-based O&amp;P services through a national network of traveling O&amp;P clinicians who deliver care in rural communities. We conducted an iterative evaluation guided by the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework to identify challenges and associated strategies for successful implementation of this mobile O&amp;P program.MethodsMoPOC is delivered by an O&amp;P clinician anchored at a VA medical center (VAMC). Clinicians travel to remote VA clinics and Veteran's homes with a custom vehicle which provides storage and a workshop to modify O&amp;P devices. Each clinician is supported by a program support assistant. MoPOC was implemented in three phases. The qualitative evaluation of MoPOC implementation was conducted as part of a larger evaluation of MoPOC program outcomes. We conducted semi-structured interviews and regular check-ins with MoPOC clinicians, site managers, and stakeholders both prior to implementation and throughout the implementation process. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data was analyzed across sites and comparatively by phase using a rapid matrix analysis to identify themes related to adoption and implementation challenges and key strategies developed to address those challenges.ResultsWe identified four key themes related to successful program implementation, each with associated challenges and improvement strategies: (1) “Finding the right sites for MoPOC” through intentional recruitment and site selection; (2) Identifying the “sweet spot”: Balancing program capacity, sustainability, and MoPOC clinician satisfaction; (3) Shifting from testing to standardizing; and (4) “Being strategic with hiring” to improve program adoption.DiscussionImplementation challenges were related to recruiting and selecting successful sites, ensuring timely program adoption, balancing site level adaptation and program standardization, and scaling programs to enhance efficiency, reach, and satisfaction. An iterative approach guided by the RE-AIM framework resulted in program improvement and more rapid implementation in each successive phase. The challenges described in MoPOC implementation may be common issues in implementing new mobile programs in rural areas.

IntroductionPrime quality kamaboko (cooked surimi) is produced from Alaska pollock. The main challenge of using cheaper fish fillets, including Barramundi, is achieving similar textures.MethodsCombined with fish gelatin, modified starch by vortex fluidic device was used to enhance the quality of kamaboko made from Barramundi.ResultsModification by a continuous flow vortex fluidic device (VFD) significantly reduces the size of particles of starch relative to conventional homogenization. Blending this VFD-modified starch with fish gelatin resulted in a well-organized cross-linked matrix compared to products manufactured from homogenization modified starch. This led to higher gel strength of the former (1,708.32 g/cm2) relative to the latter (832.56 g/cm2). Mixing different proportions of fish gelatin and VFD-processed starch to make Barramundi kamaboko (5, 10, and 15%), yielded a product with greater chewiness relative to Alaska pollock kamaboko. Sensory evaluation indicated that the 5% product was optimal and the 15% product with the highest chewiness (56.10 N) was the least favorable.DiscussionThese results clearly indicate the potential of VFD processed starch, blended with fish gelatin to enhances the quality of kamaboko.

Published: November 2024

BackgroundFumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinoma (FH-RCC) is a rare subtype of kidney tumor. Most of them are solitary lesions, making preoperative diagnosis difficult, aggressive, and with poor prognosis. They may metastasize even at an early stage, however, there is currently no optimal diagnostic and therapeutic approach for metastatic FH-RCC.MethodsWe report the case of a 34-year-old male patient with renal tumor and liver metastasis, who underwent open tumor resection of the right kidney combined with resection of liver metastases. Postoperative pathology was confirmed, followed by targeted therapy.ResultsPostoperative pathological results confirmed FH-RCC, targeted therapy was performed after surgery. No tumor recurrence was observed during the follow-up of almost 16 months.ConclusionFH-RCC patients with liver metastasis can achieve a good prognosis through early resection of primary tumor and metastatic lesions combined with targeted therapy.

Published: November 2024

ObjectiveWe identified patients who initially did not have a maxillary sinus fungus ball on computed tomography (CT) but developed it on a subsequent CT scan. We assessed potential risk factors for developing a maxillary sinus fungus ball between the two scans.Patients and methodsThis study included 35 patients with 38 lesions who initially had no maxillary sinus fungus balls on CT but were later diagnosed with the condition and underwent surgery.ResultsWe analyzed 38 lesions in 35 patients, each of whom had normal CT scan results initially but later developed a maxillary sinus fungus ball. No specific risk factors for developing a maxillary sinus fungus ball were identified. However, when compared to the maxillary sinusitis group, facial trauma and dental implant surgery appeared to be associated with maxillary sinus fungus ball formation (p &lt; 0.05).ConclusionWe investigated factors influencing the development of maxillary sinus fungus balls that were absent in previous CT scans and found no significant risk factors. Nonetheless, relative to the maxillary sinusitis (control) group, the maxillary sinus fungus ball group tended to have more previous facial trauma and dental implant surgery.
Psychological Safety and Work Design as Mediators of Supervisors’ Dark Triad Traits Impact on Nurses’ Task Performance
Authors: Raineri Andrés , Cartes Macarena 
Published: November 2024

ObjectivesThis study investigates how nurse supervisors’ Dark Triad personality traits (Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy) influence nurses’ task performance, mediated by perceptions of enriched work design (autonomy, task variety, social support, safe work conditions, feedback quality) and psychological safety.MethodsA multisource approach was used to collect data from 256 manager-nurse dyads across various healthcare settings. Nurses completed surveys assessing their work design and psychological safety. Managers completed a self-assessment of Dark Triad traits and rated their nurse subordinates’ task performance. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used for analysis.ResultsSupervisors’ Dark Triad traits core component impacted nurses’ task performance indirectly, mediated by psychological safety and nurses’ perceptions of their enriched work design. Psychopathic traits revealed a significant direct negative effect on nurses’ performance, while other Dark Triad traits did not show direct effects.ConclusionThis study sheds light on key factors influencing nurses’ performance, offering insights for healthcare organizations aiming to optimize work environments and improve team effectiveness.
Multigenerational Rearing on Non-Prey Foods Does Not Affect Prey (Aphid) Recognition Behavior of Coleomegilla maculata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)
Authors: Riddick Eric W. , Rojas Maria Guadalupe , Morales-Ramos Juan A. 
Published: November 2024

The pink spotted lady beetle Coleomegilla maculata has been identified as a promising predator to mass rear and release into greenhouses and high tunnels to control aphids on small fruits and vegetables. This study tested the hypothesis that laboratory-reared C. maculata, without any exposure to aphids for multiple generations, could recognize, attack, and consume live aphids. The aphid adults of two species were collected from non-crop host plants (weeds) over two consecutive seasons. The time (seconds) that C. maculata adults required to recognize and partially or completely consume live, healthy adult aphids was recorded in Petri dish arenas in the laboratory. Regardless of the non-prey food source (brine shrimp egg diet, mealworm-protein-based artificial diet), C. maculata adults readily recognized aphids. Adult females were occasionally more voracious than males. One aphid species (Uroleucon erigeronense) was consumed more readily than the other aphid species (Aphis nerii). In conclusion, multigenerational rearing on non-prey foods did not affect the prey recognition behavior of C. maculata adults in the laboratory. Validating the ability of lady beetles reared on artificial diets to recognize and consume live aphids is an important protocol before augmentative releases for aphid control in greenhouses and high tunnels.

Обоснована фрактальная организация структурно-функциональных единиц органов млекопитающих. Для исследования фрактальности структурно-функциональных единиц по изображению использовали метод подсчёта занятых ячеек на языке программирования Python в среде разработки Visual Studio Code. В программе на вход подаётся изображение, на выходе выводятся график степенной зависимости в логарифмических координатах и значение фрактальной размерности.Результат актуален в связи с объяснением надежности работы органов, устойчивости при внешних и внутренних воздействиях и компенсации функций после повреждений. Исследования могут быть развиты при изучении органов других позвоночных.
The fractal organization of structural-functional units of mammalian organs is substantiated. To study the fractal nature of structural-functional units by image, the method of counting occupied cells was used. The method is implemented in the Python programming language in the Visual Studio Code environment. In the created software product, an image is fed as input, and a graph of the power law in logarithmic coordinates and the value of the fractal dimension are displayed as output. The result is relevant in connection with the explanation of the reliability of the work of organs, stability under external and internal influences and compensation of functions after damage. Research can be developed by studying the organs of other vertebrates.

В статье исследована деятельность якутских народных корреспондентов (селькоров и рабкоров) в контексте их сотрудничества с региональной многотиражной газетой на протяжении 1920-х гг. Источниковую базу составил массив номеров газеты «Автономная Якутия» за указанный период. Проанализированы публикации, раскрывающие особенности отношений редакции с активистами, выступавшими информаторами по широкому кругу вопросов общественной жизни. Выявлены их подходы к подготовке материалов. Раскрыты противоречия в редакционной политике, ведшей к обострению социальных противоречий в регионе. Показаны информационные возможности выбранного источника, намечены пути его теоретического освоения, определены методологические проблемы в работе с данным видом исторических документов. Полученные выводы расширяют представления о повседневной жизни советской провинции в годы культурной революции, способствуют лучшему пониманию эвристического потенциала советской периодической печати 1920-х гг.
The article is devoted to the work of a provincial newspaper editorial office in the early years of the Soviet cultural revolution. The place of the periodical press in the public relations of the early USSR has not been studied enough, the Soviet press is underestimated as a historical source. Little research has been done on the activities of workers and peasant correspondents in the field. The present study aims to identify ways to solve these problems and, in particular, to substantiate the importance of newspaper publications as a valuable historical source that can complement and clarify the understanding of historical reality. An array of issues of the newspaper "Autonomous Yakutia" for the period from 1922 to 1929 was used as a source. This one was the leading socio-political publication in the region. The article examines the activities of volunteer correspondents from the people, who provided the editorial office with information from the field about various aspects of the life of citizens of the Yakut autonomy. The articles and notes are analyzed, which show some aspects of the editorial board's relations with the labor and village councils. The authors' approaches to the preparation of materials are identified and evaluated. Contradictions in editorial policy have been revealed, which often led to increased social contradictions in the region. The information capabilities of the newspaper as a historical source are revealed, ways of its methodological development are outlined, problems in working with this type of documents are noted. The findings make it possible to expand existing ideas about the daily life of the Soviet province during the cultural revolution, the nature of relations in this society, and also contribute to a better understanding of the heuristic potential of the Soviet periodical press in the post-revolutionary decade.
ПРОБЛЕМА ИНТЕРПРЕТАЦИИ АРХИТЕКТУРНЫХ СИМВОЛОВ ГЛАВНОГО КОРПУСА ИЖЕВСКОГО ОРУЖЕЙНОГО ЗАВОДА
Authors: Е.А. Копысов 
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматриваются проблемы интерпретации архитектурных символов Главного корпуса Ижевского оружейного завода. Проведя сравнительный анализ и комплексный подход к анализу архитектурных символов здания Ижевского оружейного завода, автор показывает, что существующая на данный момент интерпретация, которая была предложена ещё в 1978 г., вызывает ряд сомнений. Как показывает практика, архитектурное сооружение следует анализировать вместе со всеми его символами комплексно, учитывая эпоху, в которую возводилось это сооружение.
The article focuses on the problems of interpreting the architectural symbols on the main building of the Izhevsk Arms Plant. Having carried out a comparative analysis and an integrated approach to the analysis of the architectural symbols of the Izhevsk Arms Plant building, the author reveals that the currently existing interpretation, proposed back in 1978, is rather arguable. As evidenced in practice, an architectural structure should be analyzed along with all its symbols in a comprehensive manner, taking into account the epoch when it was mounted.
