Introduction: Organ donation is either when a person allows healthy transplantable organs/tissues to be removed after death, or when the donor is alive. Digitization in various aspects of healthcare is replacing humans, eliminating biases and judgement errors. The use of an android application reduces subjectivity in need assessment, accessing basic information and contacting the right facilities to register for organ donation. Objectives: To develop an android application to increase awareness among participants. To assess knowledge, attitudes and practices related to organ donation through the application. To evaluate satisfaction levels regarding the android application. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 384 participants of urban and rural areas of Pali district over four months. A predesigned pretested questionnaire was used for data collection by trained volunteers and analyzed using Epi info (version 7.2). Results: The study was conducted among 192 urban and 192 rural participants of Pali district whose average age was 27.5 years in urban and 24 years respectively ,60.2% were females ,29.2% were married, 96% belonged to Hindu religion and 43% were medical students .Although 82.8% of the participants had heard about organ donation only 17.2% had pledged to donate organs. The rural and urban differences were marked stating religion as a determinant of their attitude for organ donation (p-value 0.009), that infants and elders could not donate organs (p-value 0.014), that organ donation was costly (p -value 0.00), that doctors should not advocate organ donation (p-value 0.014). The median agreement was above 5 on the Likert’s scale regarding the application being better than print media, increasing insight to organ donation and giving a sense of social responsibility. Conclusions: Awareness about organ donation is marred by myths, but the community had a positive attitude to use the application for increasing awareness levels.

Published: December 2023

Estudo pormenorizado da histopatologia da reação de Mitsuda em 100 adultos sadios não comunicantes de hansenianos, inoculados com a lepromina A (armadillo). Verificou-se que a estrutura histológica da reação de Mitsuda com a lepromina integral A não difere daquela observada com a lepromina integral H. Não há também diferenças entre o quadro histológico da reação nos indivíduos sadios não comunicantes de hansenianos e aquele observado tanto em hansenianos tuberculóides quanto em indivíduos sadios comunicantes. A reação de Mitsuda nos adultos sadios não comunicantes de hansenianos apresenta variações de graduação histológica — Classes O (—) ± II (+) ((+) III (+ +)IV (+++) — desde ausência de reação com baciloscopia positiva (Classe O) até a formação de granuloma tuberculóide completo com baciloscopia negativa (Classe IV). Em 97% dos casos a reação foi positiva, predominando a classe III (42%), representada por granuloma tuberculóide incompleto, isto é, formado por células epitelióides e halo linfocitário, com arranjo folicular. Os achados desta pesquisa comprovam, mais uma vez, que a eficiência do resultado da reação de Mitsuda depende fundamentalmente do exame histológico, tanto que apenas em 16 casos houve igualdade de resultado entre a leitura clínica e a histológica. A discordância nos 84 casos restantes foi atribuída às alterações secundárias (necrose e supuração), associadas à reação granulomatosa do teste positivo. Esses achados demonstram também que a estrutura histológica da reação de Mitsuda segue à lei de Jadassohn-Lewandowsky e que está de acordo com o conceito morfológico e classificação dos granulomas polares proposto por Michalany & Michalany.

AbstractImportance: There is no evidence-based system to guide occupational therapists in implementing theory-based, client-engaged goal setting and goal management. A new system is needed to support high-quality goal setting and goal management.Objective: To determine the acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, credibility, and expectancy of a new structured theory-based, client-engaged goal setting and goal management system, called MyGoals, for occupational therapists. We explored MyGoals’ implementation determinants, potential positive outcomes, and comparative advantages.Design: This was a mixed-methods feasibility study.Setting: Community.Participants: Occupational therapists (N = 7).Outcomes and Measures: Acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility were assessed using the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM), Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM), and Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM). Credibility and expectancy were assessed with the Credibility and Expectancy Questionnaire (CEQ). Semistructured 1:1 interviews were conducted to explore occupational therapy perspectives on MyGoals and its implementation-related factors.Results: MyGoals had high AIM (M = 18.1, SD = 1.9), IAM (M = 17.9, SD = 2.2), FIM (M = 17.3, SD = 2.1) scores and high CEQ Credibility (M = 22.1, SD = 5.0) and Expectancy (M = 20.6, SD = 4.3) scores. Interview data revealed suggestions to improve MyGoals, implementation determinants across the individuals involved, inner setting, and intervention characteristic domains, client- and clinician-related potential positive outcomes, and comparative advantages.Conclusions and Relevance: MyGoals is an acceptable, appropriate, feasible, credible, and promising system to guide occupational therapists in implementing theory-based, client-engaged goal setting and goal management for adults with chronic conditions in community-based rehabilitation.What This Article Adds: MyGoals is an easy-to-use, appealing, and helpful system to support occupational therapists in delivering theory-based goal setting and goal management components and to enable adults with chronic conditions to actively engage in their rehabilitation. This study supports the usefulness of MyGoals in community-based rehabilitation to improve goal setting and goal management quality and personally meaningful rehabilitation goal achievement in this population.

Setiap kegiatan usaha atau bisnis kini terdorong untuk lebih berorientasi pada konsumen. Setiap perusahaan dituntut untuk memuaskan pelanggan dengan pelayanannya. Banyak perusahaan mulai menyadari pentingnya memberikan pelayanan yang berkualitas terhadap konsumen untuk mendapatkan umpan balik yang menguntungkan dari konsumen atau pelanggan. Bentuk dari perhatian perusahaan kepada pelanggan tersebut, jika perusahaan mempunyai bagian pelayanan pelanggan. Dimana bagian pelayanan pelanggan mempunyai tugas yaitu melayani seluruh keluhan dan saran para pelanggan terhadap produk yang ditawarkan perusahaan, yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui apa yang diharapkan oleh konsumen (consumer expectation) sehingga perusahaan dapat terus meningkatkan kinerjanya dimasa mendatang. Apabila perusahaan telah memberikan pelayanan sesuai dengan apa yang diharapkan konsumen maka konsumen akan merasa puas.
Kepuasan konsumen akan menciptakan perilaku konsumen yang sangat menguntungkan bagi perusahaan, beberapa bentuk perilaku konsumen yang menguntungkan bagi perusahaan seperti pengulangan transaksi, konsumen tidak berpindah ke penyedia produk dan jasa yang lain atau setia pada perusahaan, menceritakan reputasi baik dari perusahaan kepada orang lain, bersedia membayar lebih, dan lain sebagainya yang pada akhirnya perusahaan akan meraih pangsa pasar baru serta meningkatkan laba perusahaan.
Begitu pula sebaliknya, apabila konsumen merasa tidak puas terhadap pelayanan yang diberikan oleh perusahaan, maka akan menimbulkan perilaku yang merugikan bagi perusahaan yaitu konsumen akan berpindah kepada penyedia produk dan jasa lain, menceritakan reputasi buruk perusahaan kepada orang lain serta mengurangi kegiatan bisnis dengan perusahaan. Hal ini memberikan dampak yang sangat buruk bagi perusahaan yaitu perusahaan akan kehilangan pelanggannya dan perusahaan juga akan memiliki reputasi yang buruk di mata masyarakat.

Abstract. Understanding the molecular mechanism of mammalian reproduction (puberty and prolificacy) will play a part in improving animal reproductive performance. GLUD1 (glutamate dehydrogenase 1) is important for mammalian reproduction, as shown in previous studies; however, its roles in puberty and prolificacy have rarely been reported. In this study, we designed seven pairs of primers (P1 to P7) for cloning and sequencing genomic DNA of Jining Grey goats and Liaoning Cashmere goats. Primer 8 (P8) was designed to detect single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the GLUD1 in both sexually precocious and high-fecundity breeds (Jining Grey, Nanjiang Brown and Matou goats) and sexually late-maturing and low-fecundity breeds (Liaoning Cashmere, Inner Mongolia Cashmere and Taihang goats) by PCR-RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism). The real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) technique was used to detect the expression of GLUD1 in a variety of tissues. The results showed that the A197C mutation was only found in the amplification product of P6. For this SNP locus, only two genotypes (AA and AC) were detected in Nanjiang Brown goats, while three genotypes (AA, AC and CC) were detected in the other five breeds. In Jining Grey goats, the frequency of genotypes AA, AC and CC was 0.69, 0.26 and 0.05, respectively. In Jining Grey goats, AA genotype had 0.54 (P<0.05) and 0.3 (P<0.05) more kids than the CC and AC genotype, respectively, and no significant difference (P>0.05) was found in kidding number between the AC and CC genotype. GLUD1 was expressed in five tissues of different developmental stages. The expression level of GLUD1 in the hypothalamus was higher than that in the other four tissues except during puberty of Liaoning Cashmere goats. In puberty in goats, GLUD1 expression was significantly higher in ovaries than that in the juvenile period (P<0.01). RT-qPCR results showed that the expression of GLUD1 in ovaries may relate to the puberty of goats. The present study preliminarily indicated that there might be an association between the 197 locus of GLUD1 and sexual precocity in goats, and allele A of GLUD1 was a potential DNA marker for improving kidding number in Jining Grey goats.
Analogue modelling of basin inversion: implications for the Araripe Basin (Brazil)
Authors: Richetti Pâmela C. , Zwaan Frank , Schreurs Guido , Schmitt Renata S. , Schmid Timothy C.

Abstract. Basin inversion is a process that takes place when a sedimentary basin is subjected to compressional stresses resulting in the reactivation of pre-existing faults and/or the localization of deformation along new reverse faults. The Araripe Basin (NE Brazil) is an example of a Cretaceous intracontinental aborted rift, with its sedimentary infill found at ca. 1000 m altitude, 500 m above the host basement. Post-rift basin inversion has been proposed by previous authors as the cause of this topographic high, but how inversion affected this basin remains a matter of debate, with the following two end-member scenarios: reactivation of pre-existing normal faults leading to local uplift or regional uplift and differential erosion. Neither end-member fully explains the observations from seismic and field data. In this study, we, therefore, conducted analogue models to explore how basin inversion in the Araripe Basin could have taken place. We present two series of crustal-scale brittle–viscous experiments: (i) extension followed by compression without sedimentation, with a variation in divergence and convergence directions (orthogonal or 45∘ oblique); and (ii) extension with syn-rift sedimentation followed by compression, with the same variation in rifting and inversion directions. We found that orthogonal rifting without sedimentation forms throughgoing graben boundary faults, whereas oblique rifting initially creates en échelon faults that eventually link up, creating large graben boundary faults. Rift basins with syn-rift sedimentation evolved in a similar fashion; however, sedimentary loading resulted in increased subsidence. During both oblique and orthogonal inversion, most shortening was accommodated along new low-angle reverse faults. Significant intra-graben fault reactivation occurred in all models without syn-rift sedimentation. By contrast, orthogonal inversion of models with syn-rift sedimentation did not reactivate rift faults, whereas only a minor reactivation of rift faults took place during oblique inversion since the sediments strengthened the otherwise weakened basin, thus acting as a buffer during convergence. Based on our modelling results, we propose an alternative scenario for the evolution of the Araripe Basin, involving oblique inversion and the development of low-angle reverse faults, which better fits observations from seismic lines and field data from the region.
Soil organic carbon stocks did not change after 130 years of afforestation on a former Swiss Alpine pasture

Abstract. Soil organic matter (SOM) plays an important role in the global carbon cycle, especially in alpine ecosystems. However, ongoing forest expansion in high-elevation systems potentially alters SOM storage through changes in organic matter (OM) inputs and microclimate. In this study, we investigated the effects of an Picea abies L. afforestation chrono-sequence (0 to 130 years) of a former subalpine pasture in Switzerland on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and SOM dynamics. We found that SOC stocks remained constant throughout the chrono-sequence, with comparable SOC stocks in the mineral soils after afforestation and previous pasture (SOC forest40 = 11.6 ± 1.1 kg m−2, SOC forest130 = 11.0 ± 0.3 kg m−2 and SOC pasture = 11.5 ± 0.5 kg m−2). However, including the additional carbon of the organic horizons in the forest, reaching up to 1.7 kg m−2 in the 55-year old forest, resulted in an increase in the overall SOC stocks following afforestation. We found that the soil C:N ratio in the mineral soil increased in the topsoil (0–5 cm) with increasing forest stand age, from 11.9 ± 1.3 in the pasture to 14.3 ± 1.8 in the 130-year old forest. In turn, we observed a decrease in the soil C:N ratio with increasing depth in all forest stand ages. This suggests that litter-derived organic matter (C:N from 35.1 ± 1.9 to 42.4 ± 10.8) is likely to be incorporated and translocated from the organic horizon to the mineral topsoil (0–10 cm) of the profiles. Due to the high root C:N ratio (pasture 63.5 ± 2.8 and forests between 54.7 ± 3.9 and 61.2 ± 2.9), particulate root-derived organic matter seems to have a rather small effect on forest soil C:N ratios, as well as on SOC accumulation in the mineral soil. These results suggest that, although afforestation does not change the SOC stock in the mineral soil, there is an apparent alteration in the SOM dynamics through changes in the litter composition caused by the vegetation shift. We conclude that, at our study site, spruce afforestation on a former subalpine pasture does not change the total SOC stock and that, consequently, there is no additional SOC sequestration on a decadal to centennial scale.
Identifying quasi-periodic variability using multivariate empirical mode decomposition: a case of the tropical Pacific

Published: December 2023

Abstract. A variety of statistical tools have been used in climate science to gain a better understanding of the climate system's variability on various temporal and spatial scales. However, these tools are mostly linear, stationary, or both. In this study, we use a recently developed nonlinear and nonstationary multivariate time series analysis tool – multivariate empirical mode decomposition (MEMD). MEMD is a powerful tool for objectively identifying (intrinsic) timescales of variability within a given spatio-temporal system without any timescale pre-selection. Additionally, a red noise significance test is developed to robustly extract quasi-periodic modes of variability. We apply these tools to reanalysis and observational data of the tropical Pacific. This reveals a quasi-periodic variability in the tropical Pacific on timescales ∼ 1.5–4.5 years, which is consistent with El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) – one of the most prominent quasi-periodic modes of variability in the Earth’s climate system. The approach successfully confirms the well-known out-of-phase relationship of the tropical Pacific mean thermocline depth with sea surface temperature in the eastern tropical Pacific (recharge–discharge process). Furthermore, we find a co-variability between zonal wind stress in the western tropical Pacific and the tropical Pacific mean thermocline depth, which only occurs on the quasi-periodic timescale. MEMD coupled with a red noise test can therefore successfully extract (nonstationary) quasi-periodic variability from the spatio-temporal data and could be used in the future for identifying potential (new) relationships between different variables in the climate system.
