Assessment of Opioid Overdose Risk and Response Readiness Among Patients at a Clinic for Uninsured Patients
Authors: Wrucke Benjamin , Stevanovic Stephen , Vanani Naisarg , Klauck Ryan , Johnston Bryan 
Published: February 2024

Background: The opioid epidemic has been worsening. Fortunately, studies show that bystanders can effectively administer naloxone to reverse opioid overdose, and overdose education programs result in improved ability to respond to overdose. However, there has been limited research investigating opioid overdose risk and response preparedness among patients without insurance. This descriptive report aimed to assess risk of opioid overdose among patients without insurance in addition to their family members and close contacts and assess whether these patients, as crucial bystanders, were prepared to respond to opioid overdose.
Methods: Patients without insurance at a student-run free clinic completed an anonymous, voluntary survey during in-person appointments. Data were collected for eight months from 2021-2022. One-proportion Z-test compared respondent rates of opioid use with overall statewide community rates reported by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Opioid Dashboard. Subgroup analysis further described the data collected, and hypothetical number needed to screen (NNS) calculations explored possible screening methods for naloxone distribution.
Results: Seventy-two patients responded to the survey. The past-year rate of medically prescribed opioid use in the study population (12.5%) did not differ from the rate statewide (15.8%; p=0.44). Zero respondents reported personal opioid overdose in the past year, but six overdoses had been witnessed. Among respondents with family or close contacts who use opioids, 50% of those respondents who do not carry naloxone do not know where to get it, but 75% of those respondents who are not trained on how to respond to overdose would like to be. Lastly, screening for family or close contact opioid use offered the lowest hypothetical NNS of screening methods considered.
Conclusions: Patients without insurance at student-run free clinics, including those with family members or close contacts who use opioids, likely represent a target population for opioid overdose education and naloxone distribution.

A desigualdade de gênero no curso presencial de segurança do trabalho no IFPB: a presença da mulher nos anos 2009 a 2020
Authors: Machado Vanessa Medeiros , Severo Ana Luiza Felix 
Published: February 2024

A desigualdade de gênero ainda é um fenômeno que faz parte de diferentes segmentos sociais. Mesmo com o passar dos anos o homem continua sendo visto como o principal provedor da casa enquanto a mulher não precisa -ou não deve- estudar, ganhar seu dinheiro e ter a sua independência, ficando designada a cuidar da casa, dos filhos e ser totalmente submissa. O presente trabalho tem como tema A desigualdade de gênero no curso presencial de segurança do trabalho no IFPB-Campus Patos: um histórico da presença da mulher ao longo dos anos (2009- 2020). Foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa exploratória e quantitativa com os dados dos cursos integrados ao ensino médio e superior coletados através do setor controle acadêmico do IFPB-Campus Patos. Com isso, foi descoberto que a presença da mulher se mostrou evasiva no curso de Tecnólogo em Segurança do Trabalho até o ano de 2016 e somente a partir de 2017, os discentes que não concluíram o curso, mantiveram uma relação de continuidade se sobressaindo em relação às evasões. No curso de Técnico de Segurança do Trabalho a participação feminina se sobressai desde os períodos que já se encerraram até os que ainda estão ativos.

Authors: Samuel Agele , Friday Charles , Babadele Famuwagun 
Published: February 2024

There has been need to improve crop and water productivity considering the need for agricultural intensification in the realm of increasing water scarcity and drought in several regions of the world. Information is limited about the effects of irrigation on cacao water use (evapotranspiration) especially, during the terminal drought situation of the dry season in the rainforest agroecology of Nigeria. The effects of shade and dry season irrigation was examined on tree water use, canopy characteristics and pod and bean yields of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.). Treatments were 2 by 2 factorial combinations of irrigation intervals (5 and 10 days) and shade and no-shade (open sun) laid out in a split-plot scheme with 3 replications. Shade regimes constituted the main plots and irrigation intervals the sub-plot treatments. Irrigation water was delivered at 5-and 10-day intervals on emitter lines using gravity drip system. Irrigation combinations affected cacao canopy characteristics (leaf area index) and light integrals (photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) and canopy light attenuation (extinction coefficient, k) within the cacao field. The unshaded-irrigation had higher proportion of incident radiation (I) transmitted (Io) through the canopy (IO/I), PAR intensity, and canopy extinction coefficients (k) compared with the shaded plus irrigations at 5-and 10-day intervals. Cumulative seasonal irrigation (12119 and 8483 mm), soil moisture contents (19.6 to 13.7 %) and cacao water use (ETc: 3.8 and 3.2 mm.day-1) differed for the respective 5- and 10-day irrigation intervals. The unshaded plus 5- and 10-day irrigation intervals out-yielded the shaded-irrigation combinations for number and weights of pods and beans. Pod and bean yields were significantly different under irrigation treatments, the 5-day irrigation produced greater number and heavier pods and beans compared with the 10-day irrigation. For the shade-irrigation combinations the range of values were: weights of pods (78000 to 6000 kg/plant), beans (4.8 to 3.2 t/ha) and water productivities: Irrigation WUE: 0.45 to 0.33 mm/kg/ha) and ET WUE: 0.11 to 0.09 mm/kg/ha). The shade-irrigation strategy enhanced cacao leaf area index, water use and bean yields and ameliorated climate stress.

Published: February 2024

The study examined the effect of Business-to-Business E-commerce adoption on inventory management using manufacturing companies in Nigeria under the category of consumer goods as a case study. Inefficient inventory management leading to a rise in costs and a decrease in customer satisfaction level is one of the major challenges encountered by Nigerian manufacturing companies but this can be resolved through the implementation of e-commerce hence the study focussed on inventory management variables which are; inventory accuracy, stockout frequency, inventory turnover rate, demand forecasting accuracy, storage optimization, inventory holding costs, supplier reliability, inventory audit frequency, obsolete inventory and inventory replenishment. The explosion of e-commerce in the logistics sector has posed a challenge that must be effectively managed to susstain the volume of goods across long distances, the interface between e-commerce and in particular inventory management, for instance via stocks and warehousing has become so important to be overlooked. The study was carried out in Nigeria and the population of the study include staff of 20 manufacturing companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange as at 2023. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 718 respondents. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire and was analysed using both one sample t-test analysis and multivariant regression analysis. E-commerce has positive and significant effect on stockout frequency (P = .000), inventory turnover rate (P=0.000), demand forecasting accuracy (P=0.000), storage optimization (P=0.000) and inventory replenishment (P=0.000). The findings revealed significant improvements in inventory accuracy, reduced stockout frequency, increased inventory turnover rate, and improved demand forecasting accuracy. Evidently, these findings imply that the adoption of e-commerce is essential in optimizing inventory management processes and thus recommends that manufacturing companies should further utilize digital tools to enable better forecasting in inventory management and efficient stock handling.

Published: April 2006

AbstractAdsorption properties of copolymers of acrylamide and mesaconic acid (CAME) in aqueous Basic Blue 12 (Nile blue chloride) solution have been investigated. Chemically crosslinked CAME hydrogels with various compositions were prepared from ternary mixtures of acrylamide (A), mesaconic(ME) acid, and water by free radical polymerization in aqueous solution, using a multifunctional crosslinker such as ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA). Dynamic swelling tests in water was applied to the hydrogels. Weight swelling ratio (S) values have been calculated. Sorption of Basic Blue 12 (BB 12) onto CAME hydrogels was studied by batch sorption technique at 25°C. In the experiments of the sorption, L type sorption in the Giles classification system was found. Some binding parameters such as initial binding constant (Ki), equilibrium constant (K), monolayer coverage (n), site‐size (u), and maximum fractional occupancy (Ô) for CAME hydrogels‐BB 12 binding system were calculated by using Klotz, Scatchard, and Langmuir linearization methods. Finally, the amount of sorbed BB 12 per gram of dry hydrogel (q) was calculated to be 2.28 × 10−6–7.91× 10−6 mol BB 12 per gram for hydrogels. Sorption % was changed range 16.09–58.86%. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 101: 405–413, 2006
Synthesis of amphiphilic hyperbranched polyglycerol polymers and their application as template for size control of gold nanoparticles
Authors: Wan Decheng , Fu Qiang , Huang Junlian 
Published: April 2006

AbstractAmphiphilic thioether‐containing core‐shell polymers were synthesized by two‐step reaction of hyperbranched polyglycerol (PG): first the hydroxyls of PG were O‐alkylated with 1‐bromo‐3‐chloropropane by improved Williamson reaction, and 31.6% of the hydroxyls were transformed to allyl groups and 22.4% of hydroxyls to 3‐chloropropyl; then the residual 3‐chloropropyl groups were efficiently S‐alkylated with 1‐dodecanethiol. Thus the amphiphilic polymers composed of hydrophobic thioether‐containing shell and hydrophilic PG core were formed and could be used as template for the synthesis of zero‐valent gold nanoparticles by the coordination interaction between gold species and thioether. The resulting colloids were stable and the size of the encapsulated gold nanoparticles could be adjusted by changing the molecular weight/size of the PG core of the amphiphilic derivatives. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Inactivation of IκB contributes to transcriptional activation of spermidine/spermine N(1)‐acetyltransferase

Published: April 2006

AbstractSpermidine/spermine N(1)‐acetyltransferase (SSAT) is a key enzyme in polyamine catabolism. We recently reported that the combination of N1, N11‐diethylnorspermine (DENSPM) and 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) synergistically induces SSAT expression, depletes polyamine levels and causes apoptosis in colon cancer cells. To determine whether new RNA and protein synthesis is required for SSAT induction, we examined the effect of actinomycin D (ActD) and cycloheximide (CHX). ActD alone blocked the induction of SSAT expression; however, the combination of CHX and DENSPM markedly induced SSAT expression and caused mitochondrial damage, suggesting that an inhibitory labile protein is involved in SSAT transactivation. SSAT promoter analysis identified two putative Rel/Nuclear Factor κB (NFκB) binding sites. Thus, we hypothesized that IκB is the labile inhibitory protein and that its removal contributes to the activation of NFκB. CHX quickly eliminated the IκB protein in the cells and increased the levels of the two subunits of NFκB, p65 and p50, in the nucleus. Luciferase reporter gene assay showed that SSAT promoter constructs containing the two putative NFκB binding elements responded to CHX as well as TNFα, whereas the promoter without the two sites did not. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay showed that NFκB was indeed bound to the SSAT promoter after CHX treatment. Further, dominant negative IκB attenuated the CHX and DENSPM‐induced SSAT expression and mitochondria damage. These results taken together suggest that the inhibition of IκB and activation of NFκB activate SSAT. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
