Abstract
In Mexico, Magnolia species of the section Macrophylla have been segregated based on phenotypic characteristics. However, the wide environmental variation throughout their distribution area in the eastern region of the country could be the main cause of the high degree of morphological variation among the taxa of this section. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out studies at the genetic level to confirm the taxonomic identity of these species. In the present study, the diversity and genetic structure of the populations of Magnolia rzedowskiana and M. zotictla were estimated using simple sequence repeat markers. We evaluated whether the taxonomic delimitation as independent species is consistent with their degree of genetic differentiation, comparing three regions of chloroplast DNA: trnH-psbA, ORF350, and rpl32-trnL. The DNA was obtained from four populations of the two species, which are distributed in the states of Hidalgo, Querétaro and San Luis Potosí. The populations presented intermediate–high genetic diversity (He = 0.52–0.60), limited gene flow (Nm = 0.62) and high genetic differentiation (Fst = 0.288), which may be related to their low density and strong geographic isolation, caused by the high degree of fragmentation of their habitat. The phylogenetic analysis and the genetic differentiation values indicate that each of the populations of the two Magnolia species analyzed behaves as an independent evolutionary unit, so the taxonomic delimitation of the three M. rzedowskiana populations must be reconsidered. The results obtained could be very useful for implementing management and conservation strategies for these populations in the short term.
Postmodernism Paradigm and its View on the Existence of Language
Authors: Sudartini Siti 
Published: April 2024

Objective: The emergence of postmodernism as a continuation and correction of the shortcomings of modernism is expected to provide new alternatives and complement the repertoire of human thinking, especially about the existence of language and culture. Although, in principle, all paradigms of thinking have their own advantages and disadvantages. This paper aims to examine the issues surrounding the postmodernism paradigm, which is focused on two main things, namely: the concept and basic principles of the paradigm and the view of the postmodern paradigm in relation to the existence of language phenomena.

Method: Methodologically, this article is based on a literature study, which is conducted by identifying various theories related to postmodernism, to answer the problems that have been raised.

Results and Discussion: From the results of this study, the following conclusions can be drawn. Firstly, the postmodernism paradigm is an approach to philosophy, art and culture that emerged as a response to the ideas and values of modernism that were dominant in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Postmodernism rejects the idea that there is a single narrative or truth that can explain the world, and instead, emphasizes the diversity, complexity and relative nature of everything. Second, in the context of its view on language, postmodernism offers several perspectives, among which the key ones are openness to the plurality of languages, the destruction of the concept of binaries and oppositions, the importance of meta-narrative, and intertextuality. Postmodernism is present to provide an alternative to new ways of thinking in knowledge, especially by prioritizing the principle of respecting differences in plural particularities, as a counter to the thesis of modernism which believes in the importance of the principle of uniformity and universality.

Research Implications: Studying the postmodernist paradigm and its views on language can open insight into the complexity and dynamics of language in various contexts. This influences how we understand the world, interact with others, and organize our knowledge.

Originality/Value: The value and originality of the study of postmodernism and language paradigms lies in its ability to raise new questions, provoke critical thinking, and open space for new developments in various disciplines and cultural practices.

Authors: Bryant Ginelle , Bottenberg Michelle , Smith Hayden , Challoner MacKenzie , Fisher Tarah 
Published: April 2024

Introduction:
A point-of-care testing (POCT) certificate was implemented in a required pharmacy skills-based course. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of manikins on student confidence in performing POCT for infectious diseases.
Innovation:
Manikins were used to train second-year pharmacy students on nasal swabs, throat swabs, and oral fluid swabs. Student skills were assessed on manikins first, then on a peer. Proficiency was defined as a score of 90% or higher. Students completed a pre- and post-training survey regarding their confidence performing swabs. Student confidence was based on Likert style responses (i.e., ‘Strongly Disagree’ [score: 1], to ‘Strongly Agree’ [score: 5]) performing the swabs. Median change in confidence was calculated using quantile regression.
Findings:
All students (n=63) demonstrated proficiency in performing swabs. Median confidence for nasal, throat, and oral fluid swabs changed by 2.0 (95% CI: 1.5, 2.5), 2.0 (95% CI: 1.5, 2.5), and 2.0 (95%CI: 1.3, 2.7), respectively. The majority of students reported time spent practicing was adequate for the nasal (n=51, 81%), throat (n=51, 81%), and oral fluid swab (n=59, 94%). All participating students reported manikins to be moderately (n=17, 27%) or extremely (n=46, 73%) valuable, and all students rated their overall experience with manikins as positive (n=63, 100%). Student comments revealed manikins helped to visualize anatomy, practice skills without peer discomfort, and minimize risk during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusion:
This study demonstrated that inclusion of practice on manikins increased student confidence in performing POCT for infectious diseases. In addition, the majority of students indicated that the use of manikins was valuable to their learning and reported feeling prepared to perform POCT in practice after using the manikins.

Authors: Jradi Amy , Xai Jane , Seet Tony , Albon Simon 
Published: April 2024

Background: Personal perspectives of patients are seldomly reported in the literature, most notably their journey to diagnosis. Literature is heavily focused on the patient journey from a healthcare professional’s point of view during the treatment process. The objective of this study is to conduct a qualitative study on a video sharing site, YouTube, to determine if the patient journey from a subjective perspective is truly linear for those who suffer from ulcerative colitis.
Methods: Phrases searched on YouTube included “ulcerative colitis story” and “ulcerative colitis diagnosis story”. Video monologues chronicling the patient journey before diagnoses were transcribed using the YouTube transcription function to identify patterns amongst users’ experiences. Thematic analysis was used to identify whether certain themes were present in the monologues. Analysis was performed using NVivo 12 QRS International and used line-by-line coding to create an initial codebook that represented the concepts covered in the monologues.
Results: We viewed a total of 48 videos and included 29 videos from 2010 to 2020 for qualitative analysis. Overall, three major themes were identified in the patient journey prior to ulcerative colitis diagnosis:1) initial symptoms 2) initial encounter with the healthcare system 3) gastroenterologist referral.
Conclusions: The literature depicts the patient journey as a linear path. This qualitative study discovers that the reality of the patient journey is in fact non-linear. Pharmacists are the most accessible health care professionals and can help guide patients in prioritizing signs and symptoms to streamline the non-linear path that patients experience.

Authors: Kausar Sana , Mohammad Hashim , Patel Nupur B. , Shamim Rafat , Priya Vansh 
Published: April 2024

Background:
Conventional preoperative fasting is associated with intravascular volume contraction, increased stress, hyperglycaemia in the perioperative period. Recently, the concept of preoperative carbohydrate loading is introduced. This study was conducted to reveal the relation between use of carbohydrate-rich fluid and perioperative hemodynamic, perfusion index, and glucose control of the patients, who were undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia.

Methods:
This study is a double-blinded prospective randomized control study. The patients, who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into 2 groups of 43 each with the help of computer-generated randomization method. Patients who received preoperative carbohydrate loading and patients who follow conventional preoperative fasting for surgery were labelled as Group E and Group S respectively. Incidence of hypotension was the primary outcome; variation in blood pressure, heart rate, perfusion index, and blood glucose level were the secondary outcomes.

Results:
Intraoperative hypotensive episodes were significantly lower in the carbohydrate loading group in comparison to the conventional fasting group, p=0.023. The systolic, diastolic blood pressure and perfusion index were significantly lower in the conventional fasting group. Also, the heart rate was significantly higher in the conventional fasting group. Numeric rating scale, the score for pain taken at 1 hour postoperatively was significantly lower in the carbohydrate loading group. Blood glucose level postoperatively after 24 hours was significantly more in the conventional fasting group.

Conclusion:
The carbohydrate loading group has better hemodynamic stability and optimal intravascular volume after induction and intraoperatively. Also, the carbohydrate loading group had better glycaemic control and better pain relief postoperatively.

Published: April 2024

Abstract. The relevance of the research is based to the need for effective implementation of digital technologies in the field of gas supply. The study of energy supply from natural gas was carried out in accordance with the functional patterns of technological processes and gas consumption factors in conjunction with the directions of digital transformation.
Subject: The main aim of the research to define and propose criteria for digital transformation, based on features of the gas supply industry for the gradual progressive development of the regional economy.
Materials and methods: The functional relationship with gas supply was determined based on the analysis and generalization of the main directions and criteria for the digital transformation. The method of comparing the results of digital transformation with a technological approach and with a relative assessment of investments was used.
Results: Groups of indicators that are technologically interconnected in gas supply are presented as criteria for digital transformation. An additional function to expand the boundaries of evaluating the economic efficiency of digital technologies is to provide a mechanism for creating added value in Russia. The increasing capitalization through investments in digital technologies is not a factor in increasing efficiency without a reasonable practical effect.
Conclusions: The implementation of digital transformation should not lead to an excessive increase in tariffs for gas supply to Russian regions, since energy supply is a necessary condition for the development of the economy.

Authors: Калашник Г. А. , Калашник-Рибалко М. А. 
Published: April 2024

The article presents the methodology of ensuring the functional stability of aircraft avionics complexes under the influence of failure and destabilizing factors. It is based on the procedure of maintaining valid knowledge bases of individual modules of the avionics complex through the organization of dynamic verification of such knowledge bases during their application on the principle of the probabilistic diagnostic core with system recovery without significant restructuring of verification means. The results of calculations of indicators of functional stability of the integrated avionics complex of the D-42 aircraft are presented in the article. To increase the efficiency of the integrated avionics complex under conditions of destabilizing influences, the optimal structure of the avionics complex of the D-42 aircraft was synthesized according to the criterion of the maximum indicator of functional stability with the limitation of the cost of construction the system. In the calculations, an increase in the generalized indicator of functional stability was achieved in comparison with the original structure by 30.8 % (from 294.2 to 384.9) for the given conditional cost 20,000 с.u. It is the most acceptable according to the generalized indicator of functional stability, as a criterion of preference under the specified cost limitations and taking into account the limitations of other parameters of the effective operation of the complex. Increasing the functional stability of the avionics complex according to the presented methodology will allow timely detection of implicit failures and parry their consequences. Based on the results of these studies there is a possibility: substantiation of requirements for the structures of avionics complexes to be designed, solving the problem of synthesis of optimal structure on the criterion of maximum functional stability with limited construction costs, as well as a reasonable increase in the structure of the distributed system of the aircraft avionics complex.

Published: April 2024

LAY SUMMARYInfrastructure to support the educational experiences of children and youth living in Canadian military families has ebbed and flowed over time. With the launch of initiatives, such as Seamless Canada, in recent years and the recent restructuring of support infrastructure in the Department of National Defence, it appears that the educational experiences of military-connected children and youth are once again becoming a priority. However, without knowledge and awareness of past efforts to support the educational experiences of these children and youth, present-day challenges faced by the Canadian Armed Forces may make forward progress more difficult. Using the Second World War Canadian military, particularly the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), as a historical example, this article provides lessons learned and future considerations for supporting the educational experiences of children and youth from Canadian military families.
Role of military context and couple well-being in the psychological vulnerability of military wives in the United States
Authors: Lucier-Greer Mallory , Campbell Debra R. 
Published: April 2024

LAY SUMMARY The psychological health of military spouses is essential for the health and readiness of the family system. Thus, it is essential to understand contextual and familial factors that play a role in the psychological vulnerability of military spouses. This study examined how aspects of military life (number of deployments, perceived social support from the military community, and assessments of military life satisfaction) and family life (namely, couple well-being) played a role in the psychological vulnerability (depressive symptoms and personal well-being) of 222 U.S. military wives. Results suggested that when military wives felt more social support from the military community, they typically reported greater well-being. Wives who were more satisfied with military life tended to indicate better couple well-being. In turn, greater couple well-being was linked to less psychological vulnerability, specifically, fewer depressive symptoms and higher well-being. Overall, the military context had some bearing on the psychological vulnerability of military wives, especially when they did not feel supported by the military community. Importantly, however, the couple relationship appeared to be the most salient factor associated with the psychological vulnerability of military wives. Promoting healthier couple relationships appears to be a potential leverage point for intervention.
