Published: March 2024

Numeracy literacy is an essential part of literacy because in it there is a competency that make student to do reasoning so that it can be used in daily life. The research aims to describe the implementation of classroom-based numeracy literacy, school culture, and community in elementary schools. The research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The research was conducted on 76 students from 1st grade and 6th students, homeroom teachers of 1st grade and 6th from public elementary schools. Data collection techniques using observation, document analysis, and interviews. The data is analyzed with thematic analysis. The results showed that at least teachers had participated in numeracy literacy training, students' math skills above the minimum criteria, implementation of problem-based learning and projects, but there were limited resources. Numeracy literacy based on school culture shows the lack of variation of numeration literacy books so that the library as the center of literacy activities has not been maximized. The numeracy literacy of the community base shows that there is no public space used for numeracy literacy and sharing sessions that start running. One of the efforts to optimize numeracy literacy by providing training to teachers.

Relevance. The need to study the ecological state of the soil cover of industrial cities, which is the main depositing environment for technogenic emissions of heavy metals and metalloids, to identify the geochemical characteristics of the region and assess the impact on public health. Aim. To assess the sources and accumulation of heavy metals and metalloids in soils and their fraction PM10 in Severobaikalsk and to assess the risks associated with them for public health. Methods. Total content of Zn, As, Cd, Pb, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Sb, Mo, V, W, Sr, Bi in soil, coal and ash samples was determined by mass spectral and atomic emission methods with inductive-coupled plasma. Geochemical (KK, Kc, Zc), sanitary and hygienic (Ko) indicators were used. Health risks for adults and children were assessed. Principal component analysis was used. Results. In Severobaikalsk, the priority soil pollutants are Sb, Cu, Pb, Mo, Cr. The soils and their PM10 fraction in the transport zone, where Sb, Cu, Pb, Co, V, W, Ni are accumulated, are the most polluted. The greatest influence on the chemical composition of urban soils and PM10 particles is exerted by emissions from railway infrastructure and coal combustion at the Central Thermal Power Plant (22% for soils in general and 48% for the PM10 fraction). The average total level of contamination of urban soils and PM10 fraction corresponds to a low, non-hazardous level (Zc=6). The total non-carcinogenic risk of soil particles contaminated with heavy metals and metalloids. entering the body of children, exceeded the safe level 1 (from 1.60 in a residential one-story zone to 1.81 in a transport zone). For the adult population, HI values were below the acceptable threshold value. For adult health, there is no carcinogenic risk associated with ingestion or skin contact of As, Cr and Pb. For children, a dangerous risk (ILCRingest 5.56*10–4) of ingestion of carcinogenic heavy metals and metalloids was identified.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Background: Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, presenting as a heterogenous entity that requires a severe stratified strategy to enhance clinical decision-making and patient counseling. Multiple studies have investigated the relationship between oxidative stress and tumor progression, highlighting its potential role in cancer pathogenesis. Herein, our study aimed to establish a prognostic model based on the oxidative stress-related gene for risk stratification in bladder cancer.
Methods: Differentially expressed oxidative stress genes (oxidative stress DEGs) were identified using microarray and clinical data from the GEO database. Functional enrichment and survival analyses were performed in screened oxidative stress DEGs. A risk score model was constructed, and its diagnostic value and relationship with the prognosis as well as its sensitivity to chemotherapy and immunotherapy were verified through Cox regression, receiver operating characteristic curve and drug sensitivity analysis. The TCGA-BLCA cohort was set as the training cohort, GSE13507 and GSE32894 were used for external validation. A nomogram was constructed to facilitate the clinical application.
Results: The risk score model demonstrated a significant difference in overall survival between the high- and low-risk groups. The area under the curve and hazard ratio revealed the independent prognostic value of the model. There are differences in the sensitivity of chemotherapy and immunotherapy between the high- and low-risk groups.
Conclusions: Our findings provide a new prognostic model that can serve as a reliable reference for the prognosis and personalized therapy of patients with bladder cancer.
The Value of In-Person Contact in Clinical Trials: A Qualitative Study examining Patient Attitudes towards Trial Visits conducted at a Contract Research Organisation
Authors: Plaschkes Hannah , Furness Hugh , Ulbrich Johanna , Lorch Ulrike , Taubel Jorg , York Thomas 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
BACKGROUND
Decentralised clinical trials (DCTs) are those in which “some or all of a clinical trial’s activities can occur at locations other than a traditional clinical trial site”. The primary aim of this qualitative research was to establish whether a group of participants involved in patient studies at a London-based Contract Research Organisation (CRO) would prefer their trial visits to be conducted in an alternative location to the main clinical trial site. Secondary outcomes include identification of the main reasons behind participants’ preferences, whether this preference changed with the purpose of the study visit and whether patients’ perceived disease burden had an impact on their choice.
METHODS
Participants enrolled on patient studies at Richmond Pharmacology were surveyed when attending in-person outpatient appointments or inpatient stay admissions. Questionnaires assessed travel method to the unit, purpose of unit visit, patient perception of the utility of attending trials unit, the aspects of clinical trial participation which patients consider important and whether patients would have preferred an alternative method to conduct their visit. The EuroQol 5-Domain 5-Level descriptive system (EQ-5D-5L) was used to assess patients’ perceived disease burden.
RESULTS
145 questionnaires were included in the primary analysis. 66.0% of patients indicated a score of ≥ 8/10 when asked how beneficial they considered their in-person visit to the trials unit and the most cited reason (67.6%) for this response was ‘in-person review by a research doctor’. There was no significant difference observed with a change in the nature of the visit (screening, first dosing, subsequent dosing or follow-up appointment (p = 0.361)). Patient preference for clinical trials visits to be conducted on-site versus an alternative location demonstrated no clear relationship to perceived disease burden.
CONCLUSION
This study has demonstrated a clear overall preference for on-site visits amongst patients attending a CRO across a variety of patient studies, the main reason being that on-site visits facilitated an in-person review by a research doctor. This study suggests that trials conducted in a centralised format are of significant value to patients and therefore careful consideration of patient preferences needs to be accounted for in future clinical trial design.

Authors: Geng Changzhen , Wang Li , Shi Yaping , Zhao Hanyi , Huang Ya , Ji Qiufang , Dai Yuanqiang , Xu Tao 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background: Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a promising technique for effective analgesia. It is still uncertain if ESPB offers the same opioid-sparing effect as thoracic paravertebral block (PVB) in midline incision for upper abdominal surgery.
Methods: The study is a prospective, bi-center, randomized, controlled, non-inferior trial.158 patients scheduled for upper abdominal surgery were randomly assigned to receive bilateral ESPB or PVB before surgery. The primary outcome will be the equivalent cumulative analgesia dosage of sufentanil during the surgery, which was defined as the total dosage of sufentanil from anesthesia induction to tracheal extubation. The main secondary outcomes include postoperative complications and the quality of recovery-15 score at 24, 48h, and 30 days after surgery.
Discussion: This study will assess the opioid-sparing efficacy of ESPB and PVB, complications, and the quality of recovery of two blocks.

WITHDRAWN: Does Information Literacy influence Intellectual Property among Liberians:The mediating role of Knowledge Management.
Authors: Kankam George , Yamson George Clifford , Appiah Antonia Bernadette , Kodi Richard 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This research investigated the mediating effect of knowledge management on information literacy and intellectual property. A cross-sectional survey was conducted for data collection among librarians and students, recruited through a purposive sampling procedure and simple random sampling, from four selected universities in Ghana. The questionnaire was personally administered by visiting the selected libraries with written permission. A total of 573 survey responses were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) to establish the relationship between knowledge management, information literacy, and intellectual property. The results show that knowledge management fully mediates the relationship between information literacy and intellectual property. Again, the study revealed that the information literacy of library staff had a direct and indirect but positive influence on intellectual property. This research would be a worthwhile contribution to the existing research on knowledge management as the mediated role of information literacy and intellectual property has fully not been examined so far.
