Published: January 2024

Background: Online teaching behavior and teachers' acceptance of it can have an impact, as its acceptance will play a vital role in the learning process. E-learning, distance education, and accredited courses previously were part of informal learning. However, it appears that it can gradually replace the formal education system. On the other hand, online courses eliminate practical components such as face-to-face training, and clinical and laboratory sessions; As a result, learners lose the opportunity to train, cooperate and build relationships.
Objectives: This study aimed to describe the faculty members’ attitudes toward readiness to teach online at Iraqi universities, and to identify the relationship between some of the demographic factors (age, gender, and educational status) and their attitudes toward using online teaching.
Methods: A descriptive exploratory design was conducted, and an online questionnaire was administered to (99) nursing faculties from different Iraqi universities between 1st March and 20th May 2022. A standardized questionnaire was used to achieve objectives of the study. Permission was granted through informational consent to collect data from the participants. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics through SPSS program (V.24).
Results: The descriptive data analysis revealed that the age range of the participants represented (48.5 %), (MS=2.1, SD= 0.89), is primarily between (36-45) years old. about half of participants (50.5%) had a Master of Science in Nursing degree (MS=2.15, SD=0.64). The inferential statistics revealed a substantial relationship between age of the participants and items related to utilizing various instructional techniques in an online setting (χ2 (2, N =99 = 26.562, p < 0.05), and managing course time with facilitation techniques (χ2 (2, N =99 = 25.098, p < 0.05). Additionally, a significant relationship was found between the of the participants and item related to communicating with students via email (χ2 (2, N =99 = 10.737, p < 0.05). Furthermore, a significant relationship was discovered between participants' educational level and items related to spending weekly hours to grade assignments (χ2 (2, N =99 = 21.889, p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The development of creative teaching strategies and curricula that cater to the demands of tomorrow's nurses has become a problem for nursing education programs today, with the rapid changes in the methods of communication and information.

Retinal eccentricity modulates
saliency-driven but not relevance-driven visual selection
Authors: Donk Mieke , van Heusden Elle , Olivers Christian N. L. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractWhere we move our eyes during visual search is controlled by the
relative saliency and relevance of stimuli in the visual field. However, the visual
field is not homogeneous, as both sensory representations and attention change with
eccentricity. Here we present an experiment investigating how eccentricity
differences between competing stimuli affect saliency- and relevance-driven
selection. Participants made a single eye movement to a predefined orientation
singleton target that was simultaneously presented with an orientation singleton
distractor in a background of multiple homogenously oriented other items. The target
was either more or less salient than the distractor. Moreover, each of the two
singletons could be presented at one of three different retinal eccentricities, such
that both were presented at the same eccentricity, one eccentricity value apart, or
two eccentricity values apart. The results showed that selection was initially
determined by saliency, followed after about 300 ms by relevance. In addition,
observers preferred to select the closer over the more distant singleton, and this
central selection bias increased with increasing eccentricity difference.
Importantly, it largely emerged within the same time window as the saliency effect,
thereby resulting in a net reduction of the influence of saliency on the selection
outcome. In contrast, the relevance effect remained unaffected by eccentricity.
Together, these findings demonstrate that eccentricity is a major determinant of
selection behavior, even to the extent that it modifies the relative contribution of
saliency in determining where people move their eyes.
Automated facial expression measurement in a longitudinal sample of 4- and 8-month-olds: Baby FaceReader 9 and manual coding of affective expressions

Published: January 2024

AbstractFacial expressions are among the earliest behaviors infants use to express emotional states, and are crucial to preverbal social interaction. Manual coding of infant facial expressions, however, is laborious and poses limitations to replicability. Recent developments in computer vision have advanced automated facial expression analyses in adults, providing reproducible results at lower time investment. Baby FaceReader 9 is commercially available software for automated measurement of infant facial expressions, but has received little validation. We compared Baby FaceReader 9 output to manual micro-coding of positive, negative, or neutral facial expressions in a longitudinal dataset of 58 infants at 4 and 8 months of age during naturalistic face-to-face interactions with the mother, father, and an unfamiliar adult. Baby FaceReader 9’s global emotional valence formula yielded reasonable classification accuracy (AUC = .81) for discriminating manually coded positive from negative/neutral facial expressions; however, the discrimination of negative from neutral facial expressions was not reliable (AUC = .58). Automatically detected a priori action unit (AU) configurations for distinguishing positive from negative facial expressions based on existing literature were also not reliable. A parsimonious approach using only automatically detected smiling (AU12) yielded good performance for discriminating positive from negative/neutral facial expressions (AUC = .86). Likewise, automatically detected brow lowering (AU3+AU4) reliably distinguished neutral from negative facial expressions (AUC = .79). These results provide initial support for the use of selected automatically detected individual facial actions to index positive and negative affect in young infants, but shed doubt on the accuracy of complex a priori formulas.

Published: January 2024

Pembelajaran Tatap Muka (PTM) terbatas yang dilakukan selama covid 19 dirasakan kurang efektif, karena sebelumnya siswa TK telah disuguhi dengan pembelajaran daring, yaitu melalui media whatsapp dan siswa diminta belajar bersama orang tuanya di rumah. Hal ini yang menyebabkan guru sulit memberikan dan menjelaskan materi pengenalan huruf ketika sudah PTM di sekolah. Selain itu, media yang digunakan guru dalam pengenalan huruf juga kurang variatif. Hal inilah yang membuat kemampuan mengenal huruf dan membaca siswa di TK Aisiyah Bustanul Athfal V Pekanbaru belum bisa mencapai target sekolah. Oleh karena itu, Universitas Muhammadiyah Riau (UMRI) merasa terpanggil untuk membantu permasalahan yang tengah dihadapi oleh mitra melalui pelaksanaan PKM ini. Program ini dilakukan dalam dua bentuk, yaitu pertama melatih guru-guru untuk mampu membuat konten pengenalan huruf yang menarik dan interaktif. Yang kedua membuat video animasi berbasis android. Sebelumnya, media pembelajaran berbasis video animasi pengenalan huruf ini merupakan hasil penelitian pengabdi yang belum dipublikasikan tetapi sudah dievaluasi serta telah diujikan kepada responden, yang hasilnya dinilai praktis oleh guru dan peserta didik sebesar 86,66% dan 88,72% dalam kategori sangat praktis, sehingga dapat meningkatkan minat belajar siswa dalam mengenal huruf dan literasi membaca.

Authors: Chen Po-Hao , Huang Juinn-Yih , Chung An-Ching 
Published: January 2024

The genus Rubus L. (Rosaceae), comprising approximately 750 species and classified into 12 subgenera, is distributed worldwide and is one of the largest plant genera. In Taiwan, Rubus comprises 41 taxa, including 35 species, three varieties and three hybrids. Amongst the genus Rubus, the species, previously recorded as R. howii in Taiwan, was misidentified and this study recognised it as a new species.
Due to its distribution mainly in south-eastern Taiwan, we named this new species as Rubus puyumaensis, after the local aborigine tribe Puyuma. Taxonomic descriptions and colour photographs of the new species are provided to assist in identification. R. puyumaensis is most similar to R. howii and R. refractus. They can be distinguished by the colour of young leaves, leaf shape, arrangement of florets, trichomes of inflorescences, size of sepal lobes, petal colour, types and trichomes of filaments and the length of stamens and pistils.
Prevalence and clinical correlates of restless legs syndrome in psychiatric patients: A cross-sectional study from North India
Authors: Aneja Jitender , Singh Jawahar , Udey Bharat 
Published: January 2024

Background:
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neuro-sensorimotor disorder which is scarcely researched and is commonly missed in routine psychiatry practice.

Aim:
To evaluate the prevalence of RLS and its correlates in patients with anxiety, depression, and somatoform disorders.

Methods:
A cross-sectional single-center study was undertaken in patients aged 18–65 years suffering from ICD-10 (International Statistical Classification of Diseases-10th edition) diagnosis of anxiety, depressive, and somatoform disorders. RLS was evaluated by using diagnostic criteria of International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG) and severity measured on IRLSSG scale. Depression and anxiety were rated on Hamilton Depression and Anxiety Rating Scales respectively, insomnia severity measured by Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and quality of life measured by WHO Quality of Life-Brief version (WHO-QOL BREF) scale. Serum ferritin levels were measured for evaluating iron deficiency.

Results:
The rate of RLS was 66.7%, 50%, and 48% in patients with depressive, anxiety, and somatoform disorders, respectively, with no significant inter-group difference. Nearly one-third of patients suffered from severe to very severe symptoms of RLS, and quality of life was poorest in those with depressive disorders. RLS was significantly higher in females (P = 0.019), who were married (P = 0.040), diagnosed with severe depression (P = 0.029), and abused benzodiazepines (P = 0.045). On binary logistic regression, female gender and presence of clinical insomnia predicted occurrence of RLS.

Conclusion:
The prevalence of RLS is very high in patients with common psychiatric disorders which is often missed. Clinical enquiry and examination for reversible causes such as iron deficiency may assist in its diagnosis and improve clinical outcome.

Published: January 2024

Background:
Coercive interventions continue to be applied frequently in psychiatric care when patients are at imminent risk of harming themselves and/or others.

Aim:
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the relationship between the length of coercion and a variety of factors, including the sociodemographic background of patients, their diagnoses and the characteristics of hospital staff.

Methods:
This is a one-year cross-sectional retrospective study, including records of 298 patients who underwent restraint and/or seclusion interventions in male acute, closed wards in two psychiatric hospitals in Israel.

Results:
A higher proportion of academic nurses to nonacademic nurses on duty leads to a shorter coercion time (P < 0.000). The number of male staff on duty, without any relation to their level of education, also leads to the shortening of the coercion time.

Conclusion:
The presence of registered, academic female nurses, male staff on duty and the administration of medication before coercive measures can reduce the length of restriction.
Laparoscopic vs open surgery for gastric cancer: Assessing time, recovery, complications, and markers
Authors: Lu Yun-Yao , Li Yun-Xiao , He Meng , Wang Ya-Li 
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Morbidity and mortality have increased in recent years, making it an urgent issue to address. Laparoscopic radical surgery (LRS) is a crucial method for treating patients with GC; However, its influence on tumor markers is still under investigation.
AIM
To determine the effects of LRS on patients with GC and their serum tumor markers.
METHODS
The data of 194 patients treated at Chongqing University Cancer Hospital between January 2018 and January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients who underwent traditional open surgery and LRS were assigned to the control (n = 90) and observation groups (n = 104), respectively. Independent sample t -tests and χ 2 tests were used to compare the two groups based on clinical efficacy, changes in tumor marker levels after treatment, clinical data, and the incidence of postoperative complications. To investigate the association between tumor marker levels and clinical efficacy in patients with GC, three-year recurrence rates in the two groups were compared.
RESULTS
Patients in the observation group had a shorter duration of operation, less intraoperative blood loss, an earlier postoperative eating time, and a shorter hospital stay than those in the control group (P < 0.05). No significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding the number of lymph node dissections (P > 0.05). After treatment, the overall response rate in the control group was significantly lower than that in the observation group (P = 0.001). Furthermore, after treatment, the levels of carbohydrate antigen 19-9, cancer antigen 72-4, carcinoembryonic antigen, and cancer antigen 125 decreased significantly. The observation group also exhibited a significantly lower incidence rate of postoperative complications compared to the control group (P < 0.001). Additionally, the two groups did not significantly differ in terms of three-year survival and recurrence rates (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION
LRS effectively treats early gastric cancer by reducing intraoperative bleeding, length of hospital stays, and postoperative complications. It also significantly lowers tumor marker levels, thus improving the short-term prognosis of the disease.
Experiences of childlessness and adoption in marriage among Basotho: A two-cohort phenomenological study
Authors: Thabane Sophia 
Published: January 2024

This article reports a two-cohort study conducted among adoptive parents in Maseru and Maputsoe Lesotho, in 2014 and 2019, with African research philosophy underpinning the study. The article reports data collected from 13 adoptive parents (eight parents in Cohort one and five parents in Cohort two) using in-depth interviews and later analysed through a six-step discourse analysis. In this regard, the role of elders in participants’ extended families were taken into account upon the study’s conceptualisation and implementation. The article focuses on participants’ reports of their experiences of both family childlessness and adoption. Women in Cohort one reported being abused by husbands and in-laws and excluded from family decisions. A woman in Cohort two reported being excluded from social activities by her erstwhile friend subsequent to adopting. From a phenomenological standpoint, the participants attributed their treatment from husbands, in-laws, and friends to their family childlessness and adoption that is happening in a Basotho socio-cultural environment where it is not the norm.
