Purpose
This study aimed to explore the predictors of medical staff’s Knowledge, Attitudes and Behavior of dysphagia assessment, to provide reference suggestions for constructing the training program and improving the rate of dysphagia assessment.

Methods
This study was a cross-sectional study. A total of 353 nurses and doctors from four provinces (Guangdong, Hunan, Guangxi, and Shaanxi) who were selected by convenience sampling and invited to complete the questionnaire through WeChat, DingTalk, and Tencent instant messenger from May 23 to 31, 2022. A self-reported questionnaire was used to assess participants’ Knowledge, Attitude and Behavior regarding dysphagia assessment. Participants’ sociodemographic, training, and nursing experience were measured using the general information sheet and analyzed as potential predictors of medical staff’s Knowledge, Attitudes and Behavior of dysphagia assessment. A multiple linear regression model was used to identify the predictors.

Results
The mean scores for Knowledge, Attitudes and Behavior of dysphagia assessments were (15.3±2.7), (35.9±4.9) and (41.4±14.4) respectively. Knowledge and Behavior of medical staff were medium, and attitude was positive. Multiple linear regression results indicated that experience in nursing patients with dysphagia, related training for dysphagia, working years in the field of dysphagia related diseases, specialized training (geriatric, swallowing and rehabilitation) and department (Neurology, Rehabilitation, Geriatrics) were significant predictors of Behavior, accounting for 31.5% of the variance. Working years in the field of dysphagia related diseases, department (Neurology, Rehabilitation, Geriatrics) and title were significant predictors of medical staff’s knowledge, accounting for 7.8% of variance. Education, experience in nursing patients with dysphagia, department (Neurology, Rehabilitation, Geriatrics) and related training for dysphagia were significant predictors of medical staff’s attitude, accounting for 12.9% of variance.

Conclusions
The study findings implied that nursing experience, training, and work for patients with swallowing disorders could have positive effects on the Knowledge, Attitudes and Behavior of medical staff regarding dysphagia assessment. Hospital administrators should provide relevant resources, such as videos of dysphagia assessment, training centers for the assessment of dysphagia, and swallowing specialist nurses.

Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
Abernethy malformation or congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt is an extremely rare condition whereby the portomesenteric blood drains into a systemic vein and bypasses the liver through a complete or partial shunt. Severe complications include hyperammonemia and encephalopathy, benign and malignant liver tumors, and hepatopulmonary syndrome. We describe a case where a female adult diagnosed with congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt subsequently developed focal nodular hyperplasia and then hepatocellular carcinoma.

Published: April 2024

ABSTRACTA 70-year-old man presented to the clinic with a 6-month history of dysgeusia, followed by chronic, non-bloody diarrhea and 45 lb unintentional weight loss. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy discovered confluent nodularity in the gastric antrum and examined duodenum, but a normal esophagus. Colonoscopy uncovered patches of polypoid nodular mucosa throughout the entire colon. Biopsies of the nodular mucosa were consistent with hamartomatous polyps while biopsies of the intervening, normal-appearing mucosa demonstrated edema with crypt architectural distortion. Other hereditary polyposis syndromes were excluded with genetic testing, confirming a diagnosis of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome. Adalimumab therapy was initiated with clinical improvement after nonresponse to prednisone.

Published: April 2024

Objetivo: Analisar como o efeito impulso-resposta de variáveis macroeconômicas impacta nos indicadores de solvência, de empresas reguladas e não reguladas de capital aberto listadas na Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (B3).
Método: Foi adotado o modelo de Vetores Autorregressivos (VAR) com Correção de Erros (VEC) para quatro defasagens, com o uso da ordenação de Cholesky. O período de investigação foi entre o primeiro trimestre de 2005 e o terceiro de 2020, com vetores contábeis (Endividamento Total, Cobertura de Juros e Fluxo de Caixa Operacional) e vetores macroeconômicos (Produto Interno Bruto, Taxa de Juros, Taxa de Inflação e Taxa de Câmbio). Os dados amostrais de 137 instituições brasileiras foram tratados por winsorização de 5%, agregados com base na média ponderada dos setores.
Resultados: Os segmentos regulados e não regulados apresentaram comportamento distinto, sendo instituições não reguladas mais impactadas pelo efeito impulso-resposta em comparação às reguladas, com tendência do efeito econômico de longo prazo, em ambos os segmentos. O modelo demonstrou que variáveis macroeconômicas impactam desde o primeiro trimestre após a observância do choque, sendo que o efeito da própria variável sobre o sistema analisado nem sempre responde de maneira significativa para explicar o efeito de longo prazo observado sobre os indicadores de solvência, sendo a taxa de câmbio (dólar) mais economicamente significativa para o comportamento do Endividamento.
Contribuição: A pesquisa contribui com a definição de um modelo para investigação dos ciclos econômicos em nível institucional e corrobora com a academia para a compreensão do efeito macroeconômico na informação contábil.

Introduction: applied linguistics, ethics and aesthetics of encountering the Other
Authors: Kubanyiova Magdalena , Creese Angela 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This article explains the rationale for proposing an applied linguistics of ethical encounters. It does so by extending the current reach beyond the critical and ideological commentary of unjust linguistic practices and considers how applied linguistics research might play an active role in both theorising and enabling ethical encounters. By ethical encounters we mean those that enact the political vision of an inclusive and just society in face-to-face meetings with particular others, i.e. the Other. We ground our inquiry in a relational framework, which places the subject’s responsibility at the heart of ethical relationships and as a basis for a political achievement of just society in settings of trauma, social stigma and unequal power relationships. We argue that the subject’s ethical responsibility is not merely interactionally accomplished but also aesthetically experienced in particular moments of proximity to others. We examine opportunities for an engaged applied linguistics that arise when its inquiry is pursued through the ethical and aesthetic lens.
Preparation and investigation of cobalt nanoparticles by laser ablation: Structure, linear, and nonlinear optical properties

Published: April 2024

Abstract
In this study, cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs) were prepared by using an Nd–YAG pulsed laser at a wavelength of 1,064 nm and an energy of 800 mJ. From the results of the structural and morphological attributes of CoNP films, it is evident that CoNPs exhibit different spherical configurations with diameters spanning from a few nanometers to 24 nm. The surfaces of these CoNP films indicate that they exhibit a certain degree of homogeneity and uniform vertical heights. Additionally, the results demonstrate an increase in granular size growth and the emptying of cavities on the material’s surface. The absorption curves appeared as a function of the wavelength within the range of 300–1,000 nm and the peak absorption of CoNPs in the ultraviolet radiation region, and the prohibited energy gap for direct transitions was known, and the value is 4 eV, while the nonlinear optical properties showed that the particles show a nonlinear refractive index (self-defocusing) and a nonlinear absorption cobalt coefficient with the absorption of two photons; thus, the CoNPs possess good nonlinear properties and can be used in nonlinear optical photonic device, optical power limiter, and a wide range of nonlinear applications.

AbstractGreen synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) employing agricultural wastes as plant extracts to improve environmental benignity and also economic value added is the highlight of this research. The mature pseudostem ofAlpinia nigrais an unbeneficial raw material discarded from several food ingredients and medicinal formulas. Therefore, this research focused on condition optimization for AgNP synthesis with ecofriendly techniques usingA. nigramature-pseudostem extracts and evaluation of their antioxidant, antibacterial activities, and toxicity with brine shrimp lethality assay (BSLA). The optimal reaction conditions were achieved by using 5 mM silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution with a volume ratio of 2:8 for the extract to AgNO3at pH 12 under room temperature. The morphology and crystalline phase of the generated AgNPs were characterized using UV–visible spectrophotometry, field emission-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) techniques. The FE-SEM analysis exposed spherical shapes with an average diameter of approximately 49 nm. The XRD analysis indicated their face center cubic structure, and the FTIR spectra confirmed that phytochemicals fromA. nigraextract promoted the synthesis of AgNPs. In particular, the biosynthesized AgNPs presented potential antibacterial activity against bothStaphylococcus aureusandEscherichia coliand effective antioxidant capacity using the DPPH radical scavenging assay. Additionally, non-toxic desired AgNPs were confirmed with BSLA.
Mecca’s Cult and Medina’s Constitution in the Qurʾān: A New Reading of
al-Māʾidah
Authors: Goudarzi Mohsen 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The Qurʾān’s fifth sura denounces the killing of game during pilgrimage and decries the killing of innocent Believers. This juxtaposition reflects the intimate connection between right worship and proper social order, between cult and covenant, a connection that animates the entire sura. In particular, the sura suggests that if Jews and Christians have been generally unreliable allies, if they have been often reluctant to support the Believers’ military efforts against the Quraysh, and if they were even unwilling to requite violence against innocent Believers, it was because the People of the Book mostly had a negative view of the Meccan Sanctuary and its rituals. Specifically, they derided the central rite of ṣalāt, which may have been accompanied with sacrifices on certain occasions (such as Fridays). In the light of their opposition to the Meccan cult, the sura commands the Believers not to take Jews or Christians as covenantal partners. It is possible that the sura thereby ended the Believers’ alliance with some Jewish tribes of Yathrib as enshrined in the Constitution of Medina. What supports this possibility is that al-Māʾidah has significant thematic and terminological overlaps with the Constitution of Medina, as alliance with the Jews and deterring violent crimes through retaliation are central concerns to both documents. Still, and contrary to the interpretations of several scholars, it is doubtful that at the time of al-Māʾidah’s proclamation the Prophet had judicial authority over the People of the Book or that he sought to impose violent punishment against them.

as a Royal Warrant
Authors: Stewart Devin J. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This study examines references to and images of writing in the Qurʾān, suggesting that some of them have been overlooked or de-emphasized in interpretations of the text. It then investigates the various Qurʾānic uses of the term sulṭān, usually translated as “authority,” and suggests that sulṭān, in some passages, refers to a document, a warrant or license that authorizes the bearer to carry out some task.
The Representation of the Space of the Parties by Mamluk Chancery Secretaries in Documents and Works Concerning Relations between the Sultanate and Christian Powers
Authors: Rizzo Alessandro 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
For a long time, scholarship has illustrated the representation of territoriality in diplomatic relations between the Mamluk Sultanate (1250–1517) and Christian powers with the traditional paradigm “abode of Islam/abode of war.” The historiographical narrative of the diyār (abodes) has recently been reconsidered by scholars who have examined different kinds of sources but have barely investigated chancery documents. When we look at diplomatic sources and works written by secretaries of the Mamluk chancery, references to diyār on religious grounds are practically inexistent. The territories of the sultanate and the Christian powers are often defined by other kinds of categories. This paper examines how “space” and consequently the boundaries between the Mamluks and the Christian states were geographically and symbolically interpreted and described. This approach is aimed at understanding the criteria according to which the sultanate represented and legitimized its relations with non-Muslim powers.

Abstract
A series of 3-chloro-1-aryl-4-dihydro-2H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]quinoxalin-2-ones and 3-chloro-1-aryl-6,7-dimethyl-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]quinoxalin-2-ones was prepared by the condensation of o-phenylenediamine or 4,5-dimethyl-1,2-aminobenzene with N-aryl-3,4-dichloro-maleimides. All the prepared quinoxalines were tested for their antitumor activity against three human cancer cell lines (prostate cells PC3, colorectal cells Caco-2, and cervical cells HeLa), and a mammalian cell line (Vero cells). The compounds were also tested for their antibacterial properties against three different bacterial cells Escherichia coli, Bacillus spizizenii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The compounds 3c, 3d, 3g, 3h, 3i and 4a, 4b, 4h showed anti-proliferative activity against the tested cell lines. Regarding their antibacterial activity, compounds 3a, 3g, 4a, and 4h showed inhibitory activity against E. coli, and B. spizizenii only.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Red mud as an asphalt modifier has been investigated in some studies, but few studies are further concerned about the effect of red mud on performance of asphalt mixture. In this study, the impact of red mud on road performance and aging endurance of asphalt mixtures was evaluated. Primarily, the optimal asphalt content was determined based on mechanical strength and volumetric properties. Then, the performance evaluations, including Marshall stability, low-temperature splitting, freeze-thaw splitting, indirect tensile fatigue, and thermal-oxidative aging, were executed. The outcomes demonstrate that in comparison with the base asphalt mixture, red mud asphalt mixture exhibits worse high-temperature stability and moisture resistance, and superior temperature shrinkage cracking resistance and fatigue performance. After the surface of red mud has been modified, the adhesion between asphalt mastics and aggregate is strengthened, and the distribution of red mud in asphalt mixture becomes more uniform, which intensifies the rigidity and road performance (except for low-temperature cracking resistance) of asphalt mixture. Furthermore, since red mud absorbs a portion of asphalt content, it can hinder the physical hardening and oxidation rate of asphalt mixture. The anti-aging ability of asphalt mixture is further reinforced by the incorporation of organic red mud.
Distribution of antimicrobial resistance and virulence markers in chicken originated Proteus mirabilis isolates
Authors: Sarıçam İnce Seyyide , Akan Mehmet 
Published: April 2024

AbstractProteus mirabilis is a common enteric bacterium in livestock and humans. The increase and spread of the antimicrobial resistant P. mirabilis is considered alarming worldwide. Transmission mainly occurs through consumption of contaminated poultry products. We investigated antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence markers in broiler chicken-originated P. mirabilis isolates from 380 fecal samples. Phenotypic AMR test was performed against seventeen different antimicrobials. Genotypic AMR test was performed to detect sixteen different AMR genes. The samples were also tested for the presence of eight different virulence genes and biofilm formation. P. mirabilis was isolated in 11% of the samples, with significantly high multidrug-resistant (MDR) prevalence (63%). All isolates were resistant to tetracycline (100%). The combined disc method indicated that all isolates were of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producers, which was compatible with the high blaTEM prevalence (95%). This was associated with blaTEM being responsible for more than 80% of ampicillin resistance in enteric pathogens. The absence of phenotypically carbapenem-resistant isolates was compatible with the very low prevalences of blaOXA (2%) and blaNDM (0%). All isolates were positive for pmfA, atfA, hpmA, and zapA (100%) virulence genes, while biofilm formation rate (85%) indicated high adherence abilities of the isolates.
Effects of dietary urea supplementation on performance of selected insect species
Authors: Hetényi Nikoletta , Bersényi András , Hullár István 
Published: April 2024

AbstractFeeding costs of farmed insects may be reduced by applying alternative nitrogen sources such as urea that can partly substitute true proteins. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of different nitrogen sources on body weight (BW) and survival rate (SR) of the Jamaican field cricket (JFC, Gryllus assimilis), the house cricket (HC, Acheta domesticus), yellow mealworm larvae (YM, Tenebrio molitor) and superworm larvae (SW, Zophobas morio). Crickets were either housed individually or in groups, and larvae were group-housed. Six isonitrogenous feeds composed of 3.52% nitrogen were designed for all four insect species using four independent replicates with micellar casein: urea proportions of 100–0%, 75–25%, 50–50%, 25–75%, 0–100% and 100% extracted soybean meal. All selected insect species were able to utilise urea. However, urea as the only nitrogen source resulted in low final BW. In the HC, the JFC, and the YM on nitrogen basis urea can replace 25% of micellar casein without having any negative effects on BW and SR in comparison to the 100% micellar casein group. In the SW, a 25% urea level did not have a significant effect on final BW, but SR decreased significantly.
