Authors: Skurikhina Yu. E. , Zaitseva E. A. , Saragovets A. A. 
Published: August 2024

Aim. To conduct a genetic analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to determine changes in their antibiotic resistance from 2012 to 2023. Materials and methods. In total, 174 strains of P. aeruginosa isolated from patients treated at a multidisciplinary hospital in Vladivostok (Russia) were investigated. The patients were divided into three groups depending on the year of strain isolation: 2012 and 2019 (prior to the coronavirus pandemic) and 2023 (following the pandemic). PCR was conducted using the OXA23, ISAbaI, IMP, VIM, TEM, and NDM antibiotic resistance genes.Results. The detection frequency of all studied genetic determinants of antibiotic resistance was found to increase over time. The highest growth was detected during the pandemic period (from 2019 to 2023) for ISAbaI (from 69 to 100%), VIM (from 50 to 70%), IMP (from 28 to 48%), and TEM (from 24 up to 96%).Conclusion. The emergence and spread of important genetic determinants of antibiotic resistance, including NDM-1, among P. aeruginosa was identified. This determines general trends in the population and indicates a growing distribution of antibiotic resistance determinants, and, accordingly, an increase in the overall level of resistance to antimicrobial drugs in HAI pathogens

Abstract
Water adsorbed on carbon nanotube (CNT) surfaces is known to have unique properties, however, the structure and dynamics of adsorbed water on CNT have been unclarified. We investigated the temperature dependence of the structure and rotational dynamics of adsorbed water on carbon nanotube surfaces using a classical molecular dynamics simulation. At a specific adsorption amount and temperature, a rhombic ice structure and a polygon structure that includes pentamers and hexamers coexist in the adsorbed water. Rotational dynamics analysis indicates that the rhombic ice exhibits solid-like behavior and that the polygon structure exhibits liquid-like behavior. Their coexistence is regarded as a solid–liquid crossover.

Abstract
Uniform thickness Al2O3 thin films have been deposited by eco-friendly mist CVD. The obtained Al2O3 film has an optical band gap value of more than 6.5 eV and a refractive index of 1.64 at 633 nm. The combination of capacitance–voltage (C–V) fitting method with non-linear least-squares algorithm, frequency dispersion, photo-assisted, and proposed reverse bias-assisted C–V methods revealed interface state densities ranging from 1 × 1012 to 3 × 1013 cm−2eV−1 along the mist-Al2O3/AlGaN interface. These values are comparable to those reported for atomic layer deposited Al2O3 thin films.

Published: August 2024

This exploratory study examines Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) efforts of two teacher educators at Turkish and American universities who co-designed teacher education courses intending to develop intercultural and global competencies among students. Drawing from theoretical perspectives of Global Citizenship Education (GCE) (UNESCO, 2015), global competencies (Asia Society, 2008), and intercultural competencies (Barrett, 2018), the instructors virtually linked the two institutions, co-designed course syllabi and assignments, and promoted virtual exchange with teacher candidates. All students collaborated on two course assignments: 1) Comparative Intercultural Exchange - creation and analysis of autobiographical videos communicating personal, social, and cultural identities; and 2) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Critical Inquiry - analysis and presentation of SDG targets at local, national, and global levels. Data analysis revealed five salient themes across American and Turkish students. The findings indicate that students considered the COIL project an affirming experience in developing intercultural and global competencies.

ABSTRACT

Introduction
To improve resource allocation within our healthcare system, the Egyptian Authority for Unified Procurement, Medical Supply and the Management of Medical Technology (UPA) and Universal Health Insurance Authority (UHIA) established a joint economic evaluation process to support UHIA reimbursement decisions and UPA procurement decisions. The main objective of this study is to describe the developed national pharmacoeconomic guidelines in Egypt, especially for reimbursement and procurement for new pharmaceuticals.

Methods
A focus group was formed as a national initiative activity by governmental authorities in Egypt. The aim of this focus group was to develop national pharmacoeconomic guidelines for the evaluation of innovative and high-budget pharmaceutical products. This group consisted of various stakeholders with experience in health economics, outcomes research, public health, and pharmacy practice. To develop our national pharmacoeconomic guidelines, three steps were taken. First, the focus group reviewed the European Network for Health Technology Assessment (EUnetHTA) methods for health economic evaluations for new pharmaceuticals as well as the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH) guidelines and the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) Format for Formulary Submissions. Second, the focus group used the EUnetHTA guideline as a reference and adapted it to our local context. The focus group added the value assessment component, using the CADTH and AMCP guidelines. Third, the focus group collected input and feedback from key stakeholders through a focus group by using the quasi-Delphi panel approach.

Results
The results of the focus group are a main structure of national pharmacoeconomic guidelines for the evaluation of innovative and high-budget pharmaceutical products, consisting of seven main topics.

Conclusion
Economic evaluation is a core element of Health Technology Assessment, (HTA); therefore, the UHIA and UPA were encouraged to produce unified joint pharmacoeconomic guidelines for innovative products as an initial step in their commitment to implement the use of HTA in decision-making. This standardization of guidelines not only ensures transparency but also guarantees an accurate and transparent process to support evidence-based decision-making. These guidelines are expected to help decision-makers improve their process and attain better health outcomes for Egyptian patients.

AbstractThis paper introduces A Library for Innovative Category Exemplars (ALICE) database, a resource that enhances research efficiency in cognitive and developmental studies by providing printable 3D objects representing 30 novel categories. Our research consists of three experiments to validate the novelty and complexity of the objects in ALICE. Experiment 1 assessed the novelty of objects through adult participants’ subjective familiarity ratings and agreement on object naming and descriptions. The results confirm the general novelty of the objects. Experiment 2 employed multidimensional scaling (MDS) to analyze perceived similarities between objects, revealing a three-dimensional structure based solely on shape, indicative of their complexity. Experiment 3 used two clustering techniques to categorize objects: k-means clustering for creating nonoverlapping global categories, and hierarchical clustering for allowing global categories that overlap and have a hierarchical structure. Through stability tests, we verified the robustness of each clustering method and observed a moderate to good consensus between them, affirming the strength of our dual approach in effectively and accurately delineating meaningful object categories. By offering easy access to customizable novel stimuli, ALICE provides a practical solution to the challenges of creating novel physical objects for experimental purposes.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Magnetic fields are the primary driver of the plasma thermodynamics in the upper solar atmosphere, especially in the corona. However, magnetic field measurements in the solar corona are sporadic, thereby limiting us from the complete understanding of physical processes occurring in the coronal plasma. In this paper, we explore the diagnostic potential of a coronal emission line in the extreme-ultraviolet, i.e., Ne viii 770 Å, to probe the coronal magnetic fields. We utilize 3D “Magnetohydrodynamic Algorithm outside a Sphere” models as input to the FORWARD code to model polarization in the Ne viii line produced as a result of resonance scattering, and we interpret its modification due to collisions and the magnetic fields through the Hanle effect. The polarization maps are synthesized both on the disk and off the limb. The variation of this polarization signal through the different phases of Solar Cycle 24 and the beginning phase of Solar Cycle 25 is studied in order to understand the magnetic diagnostic properties of this line owing to different physical conditions in the solar atmosphere. The detectability of the linear polarization signatures of the Hanle effect significantly improves with increasing solar activity, consistent with the increase in the magnetic field strength and the intensity of the mean solar brightness at these wavelengths. We finally discuss the signal-to-noise ratio requirements by considering realistic instrument designs.
