Sacraments are signs given by Jesus to His people. Through the sacraments, humans are reunited with God. In Catholicism there are seven sacraments. Each sacrament has different graces and meanings. In this research, the author used descriptive qualitative research methods using data analysis. In qualitative research methods, the subject's perspective is emphasized more. The author analyzes these data through literature study. The result of this research is that through the sacrament of chrismation, our relationship with the Church is increasingly perfected because of the special power of the Holy Spirit. The grace of the sacrament of anointing of the sick makes the sick person strengthened and united with the suffering of Jesus Christ. Through the grace of the sacrament of priesthood, the Hierarchs have the special power topresent the body and blood of Christ in the celebration of the holy eucharist.

ABSTRACT

Objective
The purpose of this review was to identify assessment instruments and their measurement properties for assessing evidence-based practice (EBP) knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behavior among students of manual therapy education programs.

Methods
7 electronic databases were systematically searched from inception to May 19, 2023. (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, ERIC, EBSCO Discovery, LISA, Google Scholar.) Search terms were subject headings specific to each database (MeSH in MEDLINE) and relevant to evidence-based practice, assessment tools/instruments, and manual therapy healthcare professions. Eligible studies included students of manual therapy education programs (chiropractic, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, osteopathy) and provided evidence supporting instrument measurement properties (reliability, validity). Titles and abstracts were screened by 2 reviewers. Data on each instrument and its properties were extracted and tabulated by 2 reviewers. Instruments were compared using the Classification Rubric for EBP Assessment Tools in Education (CREATE) framework including the 5 steps in the EBP model. Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews checklist were followed.

Results
5 studies were identified, (3 physiotherapy, 2 chiropractic) Two studies used a physiotherapy-focused modification of the Fresno test. One study presented the Knowledge of Research Evidence Competencies instrument. Two studies presented original instruments. Instruments focused on the knowledge domain and did not assess all 5 EBP model steps.

Conclusion
The current literature does not address all 5 steps of the EBP model. The identified instruments have the potential to ensure chiropractic institutions are graduating chiropractors who are highly skilled in evidence-based practice.

Aim: To indicate the importance of the use of probiotics and the factors that influence the use of probiotics during antibiotic therapy.
Introduction: Antibiotics are pharmacological agents selectively toxic to bacteria, but non-toxic or acceptably toxic to humans, prescribed and used in the treatment of bacterial infections. The most common gastrointestinal complication during antibiotics use is diarrhea.
Probiotics are live microorganisms, bacteria and yeasts, which are used in the therapy of numerous conditions, especially in intestinal diseases.
Methods: An anonymous survey of 207 patients from Bosnia and Herzegovina who used antibiotics and probiotics in the period from February 2023 to March 2024.
Results: The results indicate that the use of antibiotics is frequent. About a third of the examined patients used the probiotic occasionally or not at all during the duration of the antibiotic therapy. About two thirds of the patients took the probiotic on their own initiative. A large part of the examined patients is familiar with the purpose of using probiotics. The price of probiotics plays a significant role in the application and length of use of probiotics.
Discussion: Frequent use of antibiotics can increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects, especially diarrhea. The use of probiotics is often shorter than the duration of antibiotic therapy. It’s use is often occasional, and on patients initiative, mostly because of the price of probiotics.
Conclusion: The obtained results indicate that it is important to point out the purpose of the use of probiotics in addition to antibiotics to patients, and that a decrease in the price of probiotics would increase the length of use of probiotics.

Immature fruit drop during early growth stages is a common issue in ber, often caused by hormonal imbalances, embryo abortion, and adverse weather. This leads to significant fruit loss in November-December, resulting in reduced yield and profitability. Given these factors, it is essential to manage them through foliar application of plant growth regulators and nurtients and other best practices. The present experiment was carried out at Horticulture Farm, Sri Karan Narendra College of Agriculture, Jobner (Rajasthan) during two successive years i.e. 2022-23 and 2023-24 to investigate the "Effect of Plant Growth Regulators and Nutrients on Growth Parameters of Ber (Zizyphus mauritiana Lamk.) cv. Gola". the research trial consisted of 10 year old ber plants, using the Randomized Block Design (RBD) and three replications, while the expeirment consisted of 10 treatments comprising five levels of plant growth regulators (Control, 2, 4-D @ 10 ppm, NAA @ 40 ppm, GA3 @ 40 ppm and Ethrel @ 25 ppm) and five levels of nutrients (control, KNO3 @ 1.5%, ZnSO4 @ 0.6%, FeSO4 @ 0.6% and Borax @ 0.6%). The first foliar spray of treatments was done just after flowering (second week of September), while the second foliar spray was done 30 days after the first spray (second week of October). Results clearly indicated that among plant growth regulators, application of NAA @ 40 ppm significantly improved growth parameters viz.; gain in tree height, gain in trunk girth, gain in plant spread [E-W and N-S (cm2)] over rest of the treatments except GA3 @ 40 ppm which was found statistically at par to NAA @ 40 ppm during experimentation. However, in case of nutrients, application of ZnSO4 @ 0.6% significantly improved plant growth viz.; gain in plant height, gain in trunk girth and gain in plant spread [E-W and N-S (cm2)] over rest of the treatments except KNO3 @ 1.5% which was found statistically at par to ZnSO4 @ 0.6% during experimentation.

AbstractAccurate early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is essential. Using data available from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative study, we identified a multivariate logistic regression model including cerebrospinal fluid α‐synuclein, olfactory function, age, and gender that achieved a high degree of discrimination between patients with Parkinson's disease and healthy control or scan without evidence of dopaminergic deficit participants. Additionally, the model could predict the conversion of scan without evidence of dopaminergic deficit to Parkinson's disease, as well as discriminate between normal and impaired subjects with leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 mutations. Although further validation is needed, this model may serve as an alternative method to neuroimaging screening in Parkinson's disease studies.
Recent Progress in MOF‐Derived, Heteroatom‐Doped Porous Carbons as Highly Efficient Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction Reaction in Fuel Cells

Published: December 2017

AbstractCurrently, developing nonprecious‐metal catalysts to replace Pt‐based electrocatalysts in fuel cells has become a hot topic because the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells often requires platinum, a precious metal, as a catalyst, which is one of the major hurdles for commercialization of the fuel cells. Recently, the newly emerging metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely used as self‐sacrificed precursors/templates to fabricate heteroatom‐doped porous carbons. Here, the recent progress of MOF‐derived, heteroatom‐doped porous carbon catalysts for ORR in fuel cells is systematically reviewed, and the synthesis strategies for using different MOF precursors to prepare heteroatom‐doped porous carbon catalysts, including the direct carbonization of MOFs, MOF and heteroatom source mixture carbonization, and MOF‐based composite carbonization are summarized. The emphasis is placed on the precursor design of MOF‐derived metal‐free catalysts and transition‐metal‐doped carbon catalysts because the MOF precursors often determine the microstructures of the derived porous carbon catalysts. The discussion provides a useful strategy for in situ synthesis of heteroatom‐doped carbon ORR electrocatalysts by rationally designing MOF precursors. Due to the versatility of MOF structures, MOF‐derived porous carbons not only provide chances to develop highly efficient ORR electrocatalysts, but also broaden the family of nanoporous carbons for applications in supercapacitors and batteries.

Published: December 2017

AbstractAn implantable anticancer device (IAD) amenable to eradicate local regional recurrence (LRR) of breast cancer as well as to enhance the breast reconstruction during/after therapy is proposed for the first time. The IAD is fabricated by incorporating the superparamagnetic graphene oxide doxorubicin nanocomposite of size ≈200 nm in a nanofiber matrix to enable the sustained and tumor specific anticancer drug release over 60 d in vitro with a minimum initial burst release and the repeated hyperthermic capability in an alternating magnetic field to ensure the synergistic inhibition of LRR. The IAD also enriches the reconstruction of poor breast cosmesis that resulted from the surgical treatment by supporting the lipofilling of the surgical residual cavity to induce the adipogenic process. Moreover, the noninvasive monitoring capability of IAD through magnetic resonance imaging augments to the effective patient care. Thus, this work reports a new and reliable concept by introducing the multifunctional IAD possessing enhanced specificity with a real‐time monitoring capability and long‐term anticancer efficacy as a potential platform for synergistic inhibition of LRR and a great promise for the in situ breast reconstruction ability for better breast cosmesis.
Anatase (101) Reconstructed Surface with Novel Functionalities: Desired Bandgap for Visible Light Absorption and High Chemical Reactivity

Published: December 2017

AbstractUnreconstructed surfaces of anatase TiO2 are known to have two main limitations for their application as photocatalysts, namely, low efficiency for sun‐light absorption due to the wide bandgap, and low chemical reactivity. Strategies to overcoming the two limitations and to enhancing TiO2's photocatalytic efficiency have been highly sought. To this end, a global search of anatase reconstructed surfaces is performed based on the evolutionary method. It is found that the newly predicted anatase (101) reconstructed surface possesses a desired bandgap whose value is within the energy domain of visible light as well as notably high chemical reactivity compared to the unreconstructed anatase (101) surface. In particular, it is predicted that under Ti‐richness condition, the anatase (101) reconstructed surface is energetically very stable. The anatase (101) reconstructed surface exhibits similar topmost surface structure as the unreconstructed anatase (101) surface but different subsurface structure. Not only the fivefold coordinated Ti atoms (Ti5c) in the topmost surface layer but also the sixfold coordinated Ti atoms in the subsurface layer contribute to the desirable gap states. The high chemical reactivity of anatase (101) reconstructed surface can be attributed to the extra electrons drawn by the surface Ti5c atoms and subsurface Ti6c atoms.

AbstractVan der Waals epitaxy is an attractive alternative to direct heteroepitaxy where the forced coherency at the interface cannot sustain large differences in lattice parameters and thermal expansion coefficients between the substrate and the epilayer. Herein, the growth of monocrystalline InP on Ge and SiO2/Si substrates using graphene as an interfacial layer is demonstrated. Micrometer‐sized InP crystals are found to grow with interfaces of high crystalline quality and with different degrees of coalescence depending on the growth conditions. Some InP crystals exhibit a polytypic structure, consisting of alternating zinc‐blende and wurtzite phases, forming a type‐II homojunction with well (barrier) width of about 10 nm. The optical properties, investigated using room temperature nano‐cathodoluminescence, indicate the signatures of the direct optical transitions at 1.34 eV across the gap of the zinc‐blende phase and the indirect transitions at ≈1.31 eV originating from the alternating zinc‐blende and wurtzite phases. Additionally, the InP nanorods, found growing mainly on the graphene/SiO2/Si substrate, show optical transition across the gap of the wurtzite phase at ≈1.42 eV. This demonstration of InP growth on graphene and the correlative study between the structure and optical properties pave the way to develop hybrid structures for potential applications in integrated photonic and optoelectronic devices.

AbstractRapid extraction of photogenerated charge carriers is essential to achieve high efficiencies with perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, a new mesoscopic architecture as electron‐selective contact for PSCs featuring 40 nm sized TiO2 beads endowed with mesopores of a few nanometer diameters is introduced. The bimodal pore distribution inherent to these films produces a very large contact area of 200 m2 g−1 whose access by the perovskite light absorber is facilitated by the interstitial voids between the particles. Modification of the TiO2 surface by CsBr further strengthens its interaction with the perovskite. As a result, photogenerated electrons are extracted rapidly producing a very high fill factor of close to 80% a VOC of 1.14 V and a PCE up to 21% with negligible hysteresis.

Published: December 2017

AbstractEstablishing contact angles on graphene‐on‐water has been a long‐standing challenge as droplet deposition causes free‐floating graphene to rupture. The current work presents ice and hydrogels as substrates mimicking water while offering a stable support for graphene. The lowest water contact angles on graphene ever measured, namely on graphene‐on‐ice and graphene‐on‐hydrogel, are recorded. The contact angle measurements of liquids with a range of polarities allow the transparency of graphene toward polar and dispersive interactions to be quantified demonstrating that graphene in water is hydrophilic. These findings are anticipated to shed light on the inconsistencies reported so far on the wetting properties of graphene, and most particularly on their implications toward rationalizing how molecules interact with graphene in water.

Published: December 2017

AbstractThis study is to investigate the mechanical, thermal, and water absorption properties of wheat straw and bagasse fiber‐reinforced epoxy blended composites. To enhance these properties, wheat straw fiber was blended with bagasse fiber. The wheat straw and bagasse fibers were prepared with various weight ratios (80/20, 60/40, 40/60, and 20/80) and then incorporated into the epoxy matrix by molding technique to form composites. The mechanical, thermal, and water absorption characteristics were examined using blended composite samples. In this research, it has been observed that increases in the bagasse fiber content in wheat straw/epoxy composites result in superior the mechanical, thermal, and decreasing the moisture absorption property. A scanning electron microscope was used to observe the fracture surface of the samples.

Published: December 2017

AbstractDiastereoselective reactions supported by metals and nonmetals offer a multifaceted path for the synthesis of robust intermediates of value to academia and industry. The reactions that involve mono‐ and disubstituted electron‐rich and electron‐deficient olefins offer facile construction of stereogenic carbon centers. Recent advances in the development of methods and an understanding of the chemistry of oxindoles has led to approaches that provide high levels of facial control, regiocontrol and diastereoselectivity. Part I of this focus review is devoted to the chemistry of β‐monosubstituted alkylidene oxindoles. Herein, we discuss reports made over the last decade of diastereoselective reactions that involve oxindole‐containing trisubstituted alkenes, which lead to the generation of stereogenic centers and the formation carbocyclic and heterocyclic skeletons.

Published: December 2017

AbstractTemperature‐selective radical generation from a newly designed alkyl diiodide (I−R2−R1−I) was studied. R1−I and I−R2 had different reactivities for generating alkyl radicals in the presence of a tetraoctylammonium iodide (ONI) catalyst. Taking advantage of the temperature selectivity, we used the alkyl diiodide as a dual initiator in ONI‐catalyzed living radical polymerization to uniquely synthesize CABC non‐symmetric multi‐block copolymers. Because of their non‐symmetric structure, CABC multi‐block copolymers form unique assemblies, that is, Janus‐type particles with hetero‐segment coronas and flower‐like particles with hetero‐segment petals.

AbstractA bio‐inspired design of using metal–organic framework (MOF) microcrystals with well‐defined multi‐shelled hollow structures was used as a matrix to host multiple guests including molecules and nanoparticles at separated locations to form a hierarchical material, mimicking biological structures. The interactions such as energy transfer (ET) between different guests are regulated by precisely fixing them in the MOF shells or encapsulating them in the cavities between the MOF shells. The proof‐of‐concept design is demonstrated by hosting chromophore molecules including rhodamine 6G (R6G) and 7‐amino‐4‐(trifluoromethyl)coumarin (C‐151), as well as metal nanoparticles (Pd NPs) into the multi‐shelled hollow zeolitic imidazolate framework‐8 (ZIF‐8). We could selectively establish or diminish the guest‐to‐framework and guest‐to‐guest ET. This work provides a platform to construct complex multifunctional materials, especially those need precise separation control of multi‐components.
