Published: April 2024

Background
Young adults engage in behaviors that place them at risk for skin cancer. Dissemination of digital health promotion interventions via social media is a potentially promising strategy to modify skin cancer risk behaviors by increasing UV radiation (UVR) protection and skin cancer examinations.

Objective
This study aimed to compare 3 digital interventions designed to modify UVR exposure, sun protection, and skin cancer detection behaviors among young adults at moderate to high risk of skin cancer.

Methods
This study was a hybrid type II effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled trial of 2 active interventions, a digital skin cancer risk reduction intervention (UV4.me [basic]) compared with an enhanced version (UV4.me2 [enhanced]), and an electronic pamphlet (e-pamphlet). Intervention effects were assessed over the course of a year among 1369 US young adults recruited primarily via Facebook and Instagram. Enhancements to encourage intervention engagement and behavior change included more comprehensive goal-setting activities, ongoing proactive messaging related to previously established mediators (eg, self-efficacy) of UVR exposure and protection, embedded incentives for module completion, and ongoing news and video updates. Primary outcome effects assessed via linear regression were UVR exposure and sun protection and protection habits. Secondary outcome effects assessed via logistic regression were skin self-exams, physician skin exams, sunscreen use, indoor tanning, and sunburn.

Results
The active interventions increased sun protection (basic: P=.02; enhanced: P<.001) and habitual sun protection (basic: P=.04; enhanced P=.01) compared with the e-pamphlet. The enhanced intervention increased sun protection more than the basic one. Each active intervention increased sunscreen use at the 3-month follow-up (basic: P=.03; enhanced: P=.01) and skin self-exam at 1 year (basic: P=.04; enhanced: P=.004), compared with the e-pamphlet. Other intervention effects and differences between the Basic and Enhanced Intervention effects were nonsignificant.

Conclusions
The active interventions were effective in improving several skin cancer risk and skin cancer prevention behaviors. Compared with the basic intervention, the enhanced intervention added to the improvement in sun protection but not other behaviors. Future analyses will explore intervention engagement (eg, proportion of content reviewed).

Authors: Nordin Pia , Svanbäck-Laaksonen Mikaela , Heikkilä Mia 
Published: April 2024

Syftet med den här studien är att analysera daghemsföreståndares beskrivningar av vad det pedagogiska ledarskapet inbegriper och hur det genomförs inom småbarnspedagogiken i Svenskfinland. Studien utgår från en kvalitativ metod med ett abduktivt förhållningssätt. Den empiriska datainsamlingen består av semistrukturerade intervjuer, vilka har genomförts med 13 respondenter. Studiens teoretiska ramverk bygger på teorin om praktikarkitektur (Kemmis & Grootenboer, 2008) och dataanalysen har skett genom innehållsanalys. Vidare har begreppen sägs, görs och relateras, utifrån teorin om praktikarkitektur, använts i analysen (Rönnerman, 2018). I resultaten framträder tre teman som essentiella i det pedagogiska ledarskapet. Temaområdena är: att vägleda personalen, att leda den pedagogiska verksamheten samt att skapa helhetsmässiga ramar för organisationen. Resultaten beskrivs i termer av vad som sägs om pedagogiskt ledarskap, hur pedagogiskt ledarskap görs och hur pedagogiskt ledarskap relateras. De visar att balansen mellan att skapa visioner och mål för verksamheten samt att vara lyhörd för personalen och barngruppen är framträdande.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT
Pedagogical Leadership for the Staff, the Activities and the Organisation – a Practice-based Study with ECE Centre Directors
The aim of the study is to analyze ECE directors’ descriptions of what pedagogical leadership entails and how it is carried out in ECE in Swedish-speaking parts of Finland. The study is based on a qualitative method with an abductive approach. The empirical data collection consists of semi-structured interviews, which have been conducted with 13 respondents. The study’s theoretical framework is based on the theory of practice architecture (Kemmis & Grootenboer, 2008). The data analysis has taken place through content analysis. Furthermore, the concepts said, done and related, based on the theory of practice architecture, have been used in the analysis (Rönnerman, 2018). In the results, three themes emerge as essential in pedagogical leadership. The themes are: to coach the staff, to lead the pedagogical activities and to create holistic frameworks. The results are described in terms of what is said about pedagogical leadership, how pedagogical leadership is done and how pedagogical leadership is related. They show that the balance between creating visions and goals for the operation and being responsive to the staff and the children is essential.
Create the Taxonomy for Unintentional Insider Threat via Text Mining and Hierarchical Clustering Analysis
Authors: Baugher Jolynn , Qu Yanzhen 
Published: April 2024

The unintentional activities of system users can jeopardize the confidentiality, integrity, and assurance of data on information systems. These activities, known as unintentional insider threat activities, account for a significant percentage of data breaches. A method to mitigate or prevent this threat is using smart systems or artificial intelligence (AI). The construction of an AI requires the development of a taxonomy of activities. The literature review focused on data breach threats, mitigation tools, taxonomy usage in cybersecurity, and taxonomy development using Endnote and Google Scholar. This study aims to develop a taxonomy of unintentional insider threat activities based on narrative descriptions of the breach events in public data breach databases. The public databases were from the California Department of Justice, US Health and Human Services, and Verizon, resulting in 1850 examples of human errors. A taxonomy was constructed to specify the dimensions and characteristics of objects. Text mining and hierarchical cluster analysis were used to create the taxonomy, indicating a quantitative approach. Ward’s agglomeration coefficient was used to ensure the cluster was valid. The resulting top-level taxonomy categories are application errors, communication errors, inappropriate data permissions, lost media, and misconfigurations.
A delay in entering invoice charges is associated with a decrease in total invoice amount in equine practice
Authors: Fielding C. Langdon 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the relationship in equine practice between the time delay for charge entry (time between when work was performed and when the invoice charges were entered) and the total amount of the invoice.

SAMPLE
A total of 67,597 invoices from 3 hospitals were included for analysis.

METHODS
Analysis of 67,597 invoices from 49 doctors working out of 3 hospitals was performed. Variables collected included invoice total, date of work, date of invoice entry, month of work, invoice category (A = ambulatory daytime, E = after-hours, I = hospital), and veterinarian. Time delay to invoice entry was the difference between the day of work and the day of charge entry. A generalized additive model was used to describe the relationship between the time delay for invoice entry and the invoice type, month of work, and invoice category. The best model was selected using the Akaike information criterion.

RESULTS
In the selected model, total invoice amount was associated with time delay for charge entry and invoice category. Invoices entered on the same day of work were 299 ± $345, as compared to those entered the next day (255 ± $271) and those entered > 1 day after the work was performed (193 ± $196; P < .0001).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
If the observed relationship between time delay (time between work performed and invoice entry) and total invoice amount is causal, equine practitioners may have significant opportunity to improve revenues by simply entering charges on the same day the work is performed.
Smaller-gauge catheters and greater body weights are associated with increased risk of peripheral intravenous catheter complications in cats hospitalized in the critical care unit
Authors: Granger Kyle L. , Zersen Kristin M. , Guieu Liz 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To identify risk factors associated with peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) complications in cats hospitalized in the critical care unit (CCU).

ANIMALS
120 cats admitted to the CCU between October 2022 and September 2023.

METHODS
This prospective, observational study was performed at a single veterinary teaching hospital. Cats hospitalized in the CCU for ≥ 24 hours were evaluated for enrollment. Peripheral intravenous catheters were placed by trained personnel following a standardized protocol and monitored for complications. PIVC complications were classified as extravasation, phlebitis, dislodgement, occlusion, line breakage, or patient removal.

RESULTS
Median PIVC dwell time was 42.25 hours (range, 24.25 to 164.25 hours). Overall PIVC complication rate was 18.3% (22/120), with extravasation (7/120 [5.8%]) and dislodgement (7/120 [5.8%]) being the most frequently recorded complications. Multivariable analysis identified that for each kilogram increase in body weight there is a higher likelihood of a PIVC complication (OR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.03 to 2.05; P = .03). Additionally, use of a larger-gauge (20-gauge vs 22-gauge) PIVC is associated with a significantly lower likelihood of a PIVC complication (OR, 0.13; 95% CI, 0.03 to 0.56; P = .006).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
These results suggest that smaller-gauge (22-gauge) PIVCs and greater body weights are associated with an increased risk of complications in cats hospitalized in the CCU. When possible, a larger-gauge (20-gauge) PIVC should be placed in cats admitted to the CCU.
What’s in the box? A toolbox for safe deployment of artificial intelligence in veterinary medicine
Authors: Basran Parminder S. , Appleby Ryan B. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This report describes a comprehensive framework for applying artificial intelligence (AI) in veterinary medicine. Our framework draws on existing research on AI implementation in human medicine and addresses the challenges of limited technology expertise and the need for scalability. The critical components of this framework include assembling a diverse team of experts in AI, promoting a foundational understanding of AI among veterinary professionals, identifying relevant use cases and objectives, ensuring data quality and availability, creating an effective implementation plan, providing team training, fostering collaboration, considering ethical and legal obligations, integrating AI into existing workflows, monitoring and evaluating performance, managing change effectively, and staying up-to-date with technological advancements. Incorporating AI into veterinary medicine requires addressing unique ethical and legal considerations, including data privacy, owner consent, and the impact of AI outputs on decision-making. Effective change management principles aid in avoiding disruptions and building trust in AI technology. Furthermore, continuous evaluation of AI’s relevance in veterinary practice ensures that the benefits of AI translate into meaningful improvements in patient care.
Dietary supplementation of Agaricus bisporus by-products on development, egg production, egg quality, and antioxidant capacity of yolk in laying quails

Published: April 2024

Abstract
The effect of dietary supplementation with Agaricus bisporus mushrooms powder (ABP) from byproducts on the development, egg production, egg quality, and antioxidant yolk capacity of Japanese laying quail was assessed. A total of 100 female quails 20-week-old were allotted to 5 treatments (5 replications, 4 females each) and received a basal diet supplemented with six graded levels of ABP (0 g/kg, 2.5 g/kg, 5.0 g/kg, 7.5 g/kg and 10.0 g/kg) according to ABP0, ABP25, ABP50, ABP75, and ABP100 groups for 70 days. The results indicated no adverse impact (P>0.05) of dietary ABP on production performance and egg internal quality. A quadratic effect was described for egg-breaking strength (P<0.05) and eggshell thickness (P<0.01), showing the highest values at a dose of 7.5 g/kg ABP. Compared to the control, the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) yolk reduction was higher (quadratic) in the 5.0 g/kg ABP diet (P<0.001), while malondialdehyde (MDA) levels decreased linearly in all groups fed with ABP (P<0.001) as compared to the control group. The results suggest that the eggs from ABP quails could have an added value that would improve their marketability. The favourable findings of the current research demonstrate that including mushroom by-products in animal feed could reduce animal feed costs and reduce environmental damage.
Pricing of Chinese Certified Emissions Reduction Scheme in a Supply Chain Under the Cap-and-Trade Policy

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Against the backdrop of carbon trading, the Chinese Certified Emissions Reduction (CCER) scheme is one of the most important measures of China to reduce carbon emissions. We study a supply chain consisting of a CCER supplier and a manufacturer that buys CCER quotas from the supplier. The supplier is a non-emissions-control enterprise engaged in clean energy projects, while the manufacturer is classified into three types: a clean, a relatively clean, and an unclean firm. We analyse the impacts of the price and offset rate of CCER quotas on firms’ emissions reductions. We find that when the price of CCER quotas is lower than the price of Chinese Emissions Allowances (CEAs): (1) for both clean and unclean manufacturers, with increasing CCER offset rate (quota price), technical emissions reduction decreases (increases). (2) The incentive for the relatively clean manufacturer to reduce emissions is not affected by other extraneous factors. When the prices of CCER quotas and CEAs are uncertain, we find that (1) the technology abatement decisions of the three types of manufacturer are consistent and the corresponding CCER suppliers price their CCER quotas in the same way. (2) When the proportion of CCER quotas purchased by the manufacturer increases, the unit technical emissions reduction increases. Confirming that introduction of the CCER scheme can reduce carbon emissions, our findings provide theoretical guidance for suppliers to make pricing decisions on CCER quotas and for manufacturers to make technical emissions reduction decisions.
Dynamic Coupling Analysis Between Scale of Network Retail Market and Green Circulation Efficiency
Authors: SI Guoxing 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
A sound circulation system is an important carrier for the development of the retail industry, and the promotion of green circulation efficiency (GCE) plays an important role in driving the market scale expansion of network retail (NR). This study uses the development status of China’s NR and circulation industries as basis to estimate the total carbon emissions (CE) of the circulation industry by using the system dynamics method. Moreover, this research measures China’s GCE by combining data envelopment analysis (DEA) and Malmquist index to construct a coupling analysis model to empirically investigate the dynamic coupling relationship between the NR scale and green circulation efficiency. Results indicate that China’s GCE is generally increasing, but growth rate fluctuates significantly. Additionally, the improvement of the quality and efficiency of China’s circulation industry has not yet formed a steady green path. China’s NR market scale continues to expand, but NR at this stage is still mainly concentrated in the eastern region. The efficiency of green circulation and scale of the NR market show a good coupling trend, but there is still a significant gap between the central and western regions. Accordingly, this study proposes that the construction of a green circulation system should be strengthened, and that the development of a green and efficient circulation industry should be taken as the engine of the NR scale expansion.

Authors: Vitória Nadja Santos , Silva Mabel Sherlla Rozendo Campos da , Santos Maiara Araújo Lima dos , Cáceres Marcela Eugenia da Silva , Aptroot André , Bezerra José Luiz 
Published: April 2024

Objective: Inventories of fungi are essential, but they are rarely carried out, especially in areas of the Caatinga biome. It is therefore important to carry out surveys and mapping to make knowledge more accessible. In this context, the aim of this work was to organize and discuss the information and data related to the fungi of Raso da Catarina, cataloguing and presenting the first checklist of Ascomycota in an insufficiently researched locality, adding knowledge from scientific collections, publications, and field expeditions.

Method: Literature searches were carried out on the Ascomycota of the Raso da Catarina Ecoregion; consultations of the Fungal Databases, U.S. National Fungus Collections, the EMBRAPA database (Fungi Reported on Plants in Brazil) and the Mycology Collections Portal; consultations of the speciesLink networks that integrate data from scientific collections; consultations of the Reflora Virtual Herbarium and the INCT-Herbário Virtual da Flora e dos Fungos. In addition to field expeditions in areas of the Raso da Catarina in the municipalities of Paulo Afonso, Jeremoabo and Glória.

Results and conclusion: A total of 243 taxa comprising 75 asexual fungi, 85 lichenized sexual fungi and 73 non-lichenized sexual fungi, distributed in 148 genera, were catalogued. This work represents an initiative to systematize research carried out in Raso da Catarina, with the aim of adding knowledge to the estimate of Ascomycota species in the Caatinga.

Originality/value: Work on fungi in areas of the Raso da Catarina is still incipient. Some data is scattered in a few publications and many taxa are in scientific collections without being published. This is therefore the first checklist of Ascomycota for the Ecoregion and provides relevant information.

Published: April 2024

Purpose: to determine and analyze the implementation of public services at the Population Service and the obstacles to implementing public services at the Population and Civil Registration Service of North Toraja Regency.

Methode: juridical-normative sourced from primary and secondary materials which are analyzed qualitatively by describing descriptively the results of the relevant data and cases studied.

Research results: the implementation of public services in issuing population documents in North Toraja Regency has not been optimal, this can be seen in three things, including: population registration, civil registration and population document data. The public service process in issuing population documents has not been fully implemented by residents, the data exchange that occurs in population documents and the many procedures for public services in issuing population documents that are not implemented, and the obstacles to implementing public services at the Population and Civil Registration Service of North Toraja Regency , namely legal basis aspects, institutional aspects, human resource (HR) constraints, lack of budget, and low public awareness, as well as lack of socialization regarding government regulations.

Research implications: Public services in civil registration make it easier for the government to register every citizen in an orderly and orderly manner, increasing the recruitment of competent and proportional resources will support good and sustainable services.

Originality/value: In the above context, the government is expected to prioritize effective services and recruit competent employees in the field of public services.

The OBJECTIVE was to study changes of IL-6 concentration in the blood and bile in patients with MJ of tumor genesis by means of biliary sorption.METHODS AND MATERIALS. The investigation was conducted to study changes in the concentration of IL-6 in the blood and bile against the background of bile sorption in 105 patients with mechanical jaundice (MJ), the cause of obturation was a tumor of the periampullary zone. The patients are divided into two groups. The first group consisted of 51 patients, the second group included 54 patients. All patients of the main group underwent percutaneous perhepatic cholangiostomy for the purpose of decompression; bile sorption was performed using the domestic Lignov enterosorbent. The level of IL-6 in blood serum and bile was determined by enzyme immunoassay.RESULTS. The use of bile sorption in the treatment complex significantly changed the concentration of IL-6 in blood serum (P<0.01) and bile. Determination of IL-6 in blood and bile makes it possible to more objectively assess the degree of cytokine-induced endogenous intoxication in response to ongoing therapeutic measures for tumors of the periampullary zone complicated by mechanical jaundice. The use of bile sorption contributes to a decrease in the concentration of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 in the blood and bile as an inducer of endogenous intoxication and a cascade of inflammatory processes in patients with tumors of the periampullary zone complicated by mechanical jaundice.CONCLUSION. Bile sorption application helps to decrease proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 concentration in blood and bile as an inductor of endogenous intoxication and inflammatory processes cascade.
