Abstract
Understanding plasma turbulence requires a synthesis of experiments, observations, theory, and simulations. In the case of kinetic plasmas such as the solar wind, the lack of collisions renders the fluid closures such as viscosity meaningless and one needs to resort to higher-order fluid models or kinetic models. Typically, the computational expense in such models is managed by simulating artificial values of certain parameters such as the ratio of the Alfvén speed to the speed of light (v
A/c) or the relative mass ratio of ions and electrons (m

i
/m

e
). Although, typically care is taken to use values as close as possible to realistic values within the computational constraints, these artificial values could potentially introduce unphysical effects. These unphysical effects could be significant at sub-ion scales, where kinetic effects are the most important. In this paper, we use the 10-moment fluid model in the Gkeyll framework to perform controlled numerical experiments, systematically varying the ion–electron mass ratio from a small value down to the realistic proton–electron mass ratio. We show that the unphysical mass ratio has a significant effect on the kinetic range dynamics as well as the heating of both plasma species. The dissipative process for both ions and electrons becomes more compressive in nature, although the ions remain nearly incompressible in all cases. The electrons move from being dominated by incompressive viscous-like heating/dissipation to very compressive heating/dissipation dominated by compressions/rarefactions. While the heating change is significant for the electrons, a mass ratio of m

∼ 250 captures the asymptotic behavior of electron heating.

Abstract
Understanding the chemical enrichment of different elements is crucial to gaining a complete picture of galaxy chemical evolution. In this study, we present a new sample of 46 low-redshift, low-mass star-forming galaxies at M

M
⊙ observed with the Keck Cosmic Web Imager, aiming to investigate the chemical evolution of galaxies in the transition zone between Local Group satellites and massive field galaxies. We develop a novel method to simultaneously determine stellar abundances of iron and magnesium in star-forming galaxies. With the gas-phase oxygen abundance (O/H)g measured using the strong-line method, we are able to make the first-ever apples-to-apples comparison of α elements in the stars and the interstellar medium. We find that the [Mg/H]*–[O/H]g relation is much tighter than the [Fe/H]*–[O/H]g relation, which can be explained by the similar production processes of α elements. Most galaxies in our sample exhibit higher [O/H]g than [Fe/H]* and [Mg/H]*. In addition, we construct mass–metallicity relations (MZRs) measured as three different elements (Fe*, Mg*, Og). Compared to the gas O-MZR, the stellar Fe- and Mg-MZRs show larger scatter driven by variations in specific star formation rates (sSFR), with star-forming galaxies exhibiting higher sSFR and lower stellar abundances at fixed mass. The excess of [O/H]g compared to stellar abundances as well as the anticorrelation between sSFR and stellar abundance suggests that galaxy quenching of intermediate-mass galaxies at M

Performance of Main and Ratoon Crop for Boro Rice (<em>Oryza sativa</em> L.) in a Saline Soil of Southwest Coastal Region of Bangladesh
Authors: Islam S. S. , Islam M. T. , Islam M. M. 
Published: September 2024

Purpose: Rice is an important source of carbohydrates to feed 9.7 billion people by 2050 and its productivity is adversely affected by salinity as a result of climate change. Ratooning after Boro rice (Oryza sativa L.) increases rice production at a low cost. This led to the carrying out of a field experiment in the saline soil of Batiaghata Upazila under the Khulna district of Bangladesh to investigate the performance of 1st and 2nd crops of five different rice varieties (BRRI dhan 28, ACI hybrid dhan 6, KBP 1, BRRI dhan 67 and Aftab LP 70).Research Method: Three cutting height variations (20 cm, 30 cm, and 40 cm height from the soil surface level) of the second crop were introduced in this experiment which was conducted in RCB design with three replications.Findings: Plant height, leaf area, biological yield, HI, total grains panicle-1, and filled grains panicle-1 were significantly (p≤0.05) higher for the KBP 1 rice variety for the 1st crop. On the other hand, leaves hill-1, number of tillers hill-1, panicles hill-1, grain yield, straw yield, and 1000 grains weight were significantly (p≤0.05) higher for Aftab LP 70 rice cultivar. In the 2nd crop, the plants died within 30 days after 1st harvesting due to the increased salinity.Research Limitations: The result revealed that ratooning of rice can be possible in non-saline soil where available water is present otherwise it’s not possible in high-saline soil as well as water deficit areas.Originality/ Value: The results of this experiment, suggested that KBP 1 or Aftab LP 70 perform better in terms of production of rice than the other varieties and rice ratooning is possible in the saline soil condition of the southwest coastal Bangladesh.

Published: September 2024

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the least effecting time of shoot tip removal on sweet potato tuber yield and find the best tender shoot removal time, which has the highest nutritional content in sweet potato tender shoots to use as a leafy vegetable with the lowest effect for tuber growth.Research Method: The experiment was established in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replicates and six treatments. Eighteen-inch piece of the tender shoot was removed from the apical ends of every branch of sweet potato (TJ 01 pipeline variety) vines on 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 weeks after planting (WAP). Removed tender shoots were cut into five node cuttings from basal ends and were taken as planting materials. Tips of tender shoots with less than five nodes were taken as leafy vegetables. The weight of both planting materials and leafy vegetable parts was considered as the fresh weight of tender shoots. Several tender shoots and fresh weight, number of planting materials, and fresh weight were recorded. Tuber yield was taken after 3½ months.Findings: The number of tender shoots/ha and number of planting materials/ha were significantly higher than 10WAP while their fresh weights were not significantly different among treatments. Protein content was highest in 12WAP and 14WAP. The total weight of tubers/ha was higher than 10WAP. The best time to obtain tender shoots from sweet potato (TJ 01 pipeline variety) either as planting materials or leafy vegetables is 10WAP without adversely affecting tuber yield. Originality/Value: Since nutritionally valued sweet potato foliage is wasted after harvesting, identification of alternative uses will help to introduce sweet potato as a multidisciplinary crop.
Job demands, workplace anxiety and psychological capital: Moderation by gender and technology
Authors: Magwegwe Frank M. , Sithole Snenhlanhla 
Published: September 2024

Orientation: Globally, employee workplace stress and anxiety are at an all-time high. Yet, we lack knowledge of work-from-home job demands that prompt it.Research purpose: The study sought to determine the influence of work-from-home job demands on workplace anxiety and, in turn, how workplace anxiety affects psychological capital.Motivation for the study: We propose a model that considers four job demands – role ambiguity, work overload, job insecurity and work-home conflict – as sources of workplace anxiety, and in turn the effects of workplace anxiety on psychological capital. Our model posits gender and technology as moderators of the associations among job demands, workplace anxiety and psychological capital.Research approach/design and method: The study utilised partial least squares structural equation modelling to analyse cross-sectional data from a convenience sample of 162 South African employees working from home.Main findings: We found positive effects of job insecurity on workplace anxiety and moderated effects of both job insecurity and work overload on workplace anxiety, with these associations being stronger for females. Workplace anxiety showed a negative but nonsignificant association with psychological capital. Additionally, the buffering effects of perceived ease of use of technology on psychological capital were evident only when workplace anxiety was low.Practical/managerial implications: Organisations should address job insecurity and consider gender’s moderating effects. Additionally, they should foster low-anxiety workplaces and provide proactive training on digital technologies.Contribution/value-add: This study provides one of the first empirical tests of workplace anxiety theory, examining the associations among workplace anxiety, digital technology characteristics and psychological capital.

Abstract
This study aimed to introduce a modified Byars staged procedure and investigate its application value in patients with severe hypospadias. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with severe hypospadias admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (Guangzhou, China) between October 2012 and October 2022. In total, 31 patients underwent the conventional Byars procedure (conventional group), and 45 patients underwent the modified Byars staged procedure (modified group). Our modified strategy was built upon the standard Byars procedure by incorporating glansplasty during the first stage and employing a Y-shaped flap in conjunction with a glandular tunnel for urethroplasty during the second stage. Notably, there were no statistically significant differences in the preoperative baseline characteristics, duration of surgery, amount of blood loss, or occurrence of postoperative complications, including urethral fistula, stricture and diverticulum, or penile curvature, between the conventional and modified groups. However, there was a significantly lower incidence of coronal sulcus fistula (0 vs 16.1%, P = 0.02) and glans dehiscence (0 vs 12.9%, P = 0.02) in the surgical group than that in the conventional group. In addition, the modified group exhibited a notably greater rate of normotopic urethral opening (100.0% vs 83.9%, P = 0.01) and a higher mean score on the Hypospadias Objective Penile Evaluation (HOPE; mean ± standard error of mean: 8.6 ± 0.2 vs 7.9 ± 0.3, P = 0.02) than did the conventional group. In conclusion, the modified Byars staged procedure significantly reduced the risks of glans dehiscence and coronal sulcus fistula. Consequently, it offers a promising approach for achieving favorable penile esthetics, thereby providing a reliable therapeutic option for severe hypospadias.
Onycholysis due to Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease
Authors: Iyer Srihari K , Srihari Sahana , Shenoy Manjunath Mala 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) is a common viral illness primarily affecting young children and is characterized by its high contagiousness. This report presents a unique case of HFMD-related onychomadesis in a 5-year-old boy from Punjab, India, in September 2022. The patient initially exhibited typical HFMD symptoms, including a mild fever, oral ulcers, and skin lesions. However, eight days following the resolution of these symptoms, an unusual manifestation emerged: discolouration and roughness of the right index finger’s nail plate. Unlike conventional onychomadesis cases associated with HFMD, this presentation commenced at the distal edge of the nail, gradually extending in width to involve the entire free edge, with additional changes such as longitudinal striations and pitting. Subsequently, the subungual area became affected, with skin exfoliation and hyperkeratosis. Remarkably, the nail plate detached spontaneously, revealing a yellowish discoloured nail bed beneath. The affected nail eventually regrew to normalcy. This case highlights the importance of considering atypical onychomadesis as a potential complication of HFMD, challenging the conventional understanding of proximal nail separation in HFMD-related onychomadesis. The spontaneous resolution of symptoms without active intervention strongly suggests a link between HFMD and this nail disorder. Clinicians should be aware of such atypical presentations to ensure accurate diagnosis and management, especially in pediatric patients with a history of HFMD. Further research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of HFMD-related nail complications and to better guide clinical practice in similar cases.

Abstract

Background:
Obesity is a significant health problem worldwide and an alarming problem in the developed world including the United States of America and European populations. Subsequently, obesity can lead to different health problems, such as non-communicable diseases. However, it can be prevented through a healthy diet, exercise, and lifestyle modification. The study’s purpose was to analyze the published literature on community-based obesity interventions and to present a comprehensive summary of how to reduce the body weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), and Waist Circumference (WC) among overweight and obese individuals in the community through health education and behavior interventions.

Material and Methods:
The meta-analysis was conducted in February–July 2021, searching CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct databases. Studies published during the prior 12 years on community-based obesity intervention for weight, BMI, and WC were included in this review. Cochrane Revman software was used for meta-analysis.

Results:
Seventeen studies met the selection criteria for the review. A meta-analysis of the studies on health education and behavioral intervention studies resulted in a statistically significant reduction at 95% confidence intervals in the mean differences of BMI -1.19 (-1.77, -0.62) and WC -1.11 (-1.54, -0.68).

Conclusions:
Community-based obesity interventions through health education and behavior interventions effectively reduce the body weight, BMI, and WC. Implementing community-based health education and behavioral interventions effectively prevents and treats obesity in communities.

AbstractBackground:One of the high-risk groups exposed to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was pregnant women at risk of pregnancy complications due to a weakened immune system and inability to use various drugs to treat COVID-19. Accordingly, this study was conducted to investigate the complications in pregnancy before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.Material and Methods:This cross-sectional study was performed on all pregnant women in Shahroud, Iran. The time interval from February 18, 2019, to February 17, 2020, was considered before the COVID-19 pandemic and from February 18, 2020, to February 17, 2021, was considered the COVID-19 pandemic. Sampling was conducted by census and included 6851 pregnant women. The required information was extracted from hospitals’ health deputy registration system and high-risk pregnancy registration program.Result:Based on the findings, hypertension disorder, gestational diabetes, placental abruption, pre-eclampsia, cesarean section, hospitalization in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), preterm birth, and hospitalization in other hospital wards increased by 1.88%, 1.93%, 0.12%, 0.45%, 5.45%, 1.00%, 1.20%, and 1.40%, respectively, in 2020 compared to 2019. A statistically significant difference was also observed between them (p< 0.05). Also, the regression results showed that the chances of high blood pressure, Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), placental abruption, and cesarean section were increased by 10.91, 1.53, 5.51, and 2.83 times, respectively.Conclusions:Pregnancy complications have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, there is a need to take appropriate health and medical measures to reduce the risks associated with the COVID-19 epidemic for pregnant women and neonates.

Authors: Jodaki Kurosh , Abbasi Mohammad , Nayeri Nahid Dehghan 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background:
Because nurse prescription has numerous benefits for the health systems, in many countries around the world, nurses are given the right to prescribe medication. In Iran, the role of nurses in prescription drugs is not well understood, and nurses face various challenges in this regard.

Materials and Methods:
A qualitative content analysis methodology based on the Graneheim and Lundman model was used. Thirteen nurses working in medical wards of hospitals affiliated with the Tehran University of Medical Science were selected to participate in this study by purposeful sampling. Participants were interviewed via telephone using a semi-structured tool. After thirteen interviews, data saturation was reached. Data collection was undertaken between April 2020 and April 2021.

Results:
The results of this study are summarized in one theme, four categories, and ten subcategories. The theme extracted from the data analysis was “the practical challenges of nurse prescription,” which included four main categories: structure challenges, personnel-related barriers, interprofessional separation, and society’s attitudes.

Conclusions:
The results of this study explain the barriers and practical challenges of nurse prescription in Iran. Identifying these challenges and barriers provides the necessary evidence for policymakers to remove and adjust these challenges and barriers. Moreover, the elimination of identified challenges will help nurses better perform their new roles and develop the nursing scope and profession.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background:
It seems that improving the spiritual dimension of cancer patients can play an effective role in their mental and emotional peace. Meanwhile, oncology ward nurses are one of the most important healthcare providers that can help improve patients’ relationship with God due to their more interaction and communication with patients. For this reason, this study aimed at explaining nurses’ spiritual needs in an oncology ward.

Materials and Methods:
This study was conducted based on the qualitative content analysis method. The participants included 11 nurses from the oncology ward of Seyed Al Shahada Hospital in Isfahan from 2021 to 2022. A semi-structured interview was administered to determine nurses’ spiritual needs.

Results:
Analysis of 11 interviews conducted with nurses revealed a total of four main codes, 13 sub-codes, and four sub-sub-codes. According to nurses’ point of view, their spiritual needs can be classified into four dimensions as follows: communication with God, communication with oneself (intrapersonal communication), communication with others (interpersonal communication), and communication with environment. Administered interviews revealed the role of communication with God with six sub-codes as nurses’ most important point of attention.

Conclusions:
According to nurses’ point of view, nurses’ spiritual needs were divided into the dimensions of communication with God, communication with oneself, communication with others, and communication with environment. Therefore, it is necessary to simultaneously pay attention to oncology nurses’ personal and social aspects to increase their spirituality.
