Published: November 2023

Objectives: To determine the best fit model of the writing skills of Senior High School students.
Methodology: The respondents were 400 Senior High School students from private schools in Davao City Division, Philippines. The respondents were chosen using stratified random sampling. The data were collected using google forms.
Results and Discussion: The overall results showed that the respondents had a high level of academic motivation, students' grammar learning attitudes, and beliefs, emotional achievement and writing skills. It also showed a significant relationship between three variables: academic motivation, students' grammar learning attitudes, and beliefs, emotional achievement to writing skills. Among the five models, model 5 best fits the study.
Recommendations: Based on the results of the study, the researcher proposed the following recommendation: first, focus on raising the level of effort because it got the lowest and the descriptive level is high. This indicates that the students do not have enough academic motivation to write. Second, since speaking grammar has reached a high descriptive level, concentrate on improving the level of grammar and reading, grammar and listening, grammatical classroom work, and speaking grammar in particular. It simply indicates that the four markers of pupils' grammar learning behavior and attitudes are weak. Lastly, because the obtained descriptive level is high, raising the students' emotional acquisition level in the indicators connected to emotions in the classroom, related emotions to learning, and related emotions to the exam. In the future, this needs to be prioritized and given greater attention in order to better develop kids' emotional intelligence and writing abilities. As a result, the study suggests that educators devise plans, exercises, and other techniques to help pupils integrate emotions into their academic work. The development of organizations that are nurtured in the stabilization of kids' emotions will be intensified among school administrators.

Introduction: Hypertension refers to the condition where the pressure of blood towards the artery walls is constantly too excessive. Estimated 17.9 million lives each year is taken by this. Its key etiological factors consist of genetic predisposition, unhealthy lifestyle choices, including immoderate salt intake, obesity, lack of physical activity, and chronic situations like kidney disease or hormonal imbalances. Focusing on herbal medications for this will be safer, and affordable alternatives of unwanted risk and negative effects of synthetic medications.
Methods and Materials: Six groups of mice were taken. In group 2-5 high fat diet and 3% NaCl was given to induce disease. Group 3,4 and 5 was treated by the ethanolic extract of Nigella sativa, Rouwolfia Serpentina and mixture of Nigella sativa and Rouwolfia Serpentina respectively.
Results and Discussion: It has been observed that in all group hypertension condition was restored significantly (p<0.05). In the treatment groups Rouwolfia Serpentina has displayed best efficiency. The mixture of Rouwolfia Serpentina and Nigella sativa showed 2nd most efficiency. On the other hand, Nigella sativa showed comparatively less but statistically significant (p<0.05) efficacy than others. Nigella sativa significantly (p<0.05) restored disturbed lipid profile (Low density lipoprotein, High density lipoprotein and Triglyceride).
Conclusion: As The mixture of the two plant extracts gives both anti-hypertensive and anti- hyperlipidemic activity, it has high potential to be used in hypertension management specially when it is exacerbated by hyperlipidemia and this demands for further study.

ImportanceIn treating atrial fibrillation, pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel energy modality with comparable efficacy to conventional thermal ablation, such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA), but with the benefit of some preferentiality to myocardial tissue ablation. Studies have demonstrated important safety advantages, including the absence of esophageal injury or pulmonary vein stenosis and only rare phrenic nerve injury. However, there is emerging evidence of coronary artery vasospasm provoked by PFA.ObjectiveTo compare the incidence and severity of left circumflex arterial vasospasm between PFA and RFA during adjacent ablation along the mitral isthmus.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis prospective cohort study enrolled consecutive adult patients receiving first-ever PFA or RFA of the mitral isthmus during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in 2022 with acute follow-up at a single referral European center.ExposureA posterolateral mitral isthmus line was created using either a multielectrode pentaspline PFA catheter (endocardial ablation) or a saline-irrigated RFA catheter. Simultaneous diagnostic coronary angiography was performed before, during, and after catheter ablation. Nitroglycerin was planned for spasm persisting beyond 20 minutes or for significant electrocardiographic changes.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe frequency and severity of left circumflex arterial vasospasm was assessed and monitored, as were time to remission and any need for nitroglycerin administration.ResultsOf 26 included patients, 19 (73%) were male, and the mean (SD) age was 65.5 (9.3) years. Patients underwent either PFA (n = 17) or RFA (n = 9) along the mitral isthmus. Coronary spasm was observed in 7 of 17 patients (41.2%) undergoing PFA: in 7 of 9 (77.8%) when the mitral isthmus ablation line was situated superiorly and in 0 of 8 when situated inferiorly. Conversely, coronary spasm did not occur in any of the 9 patients undergoing RFA. Of 5 patients in whom crossover PFA was performed after RFA failed to achieve conduction block, coronary spasm occurred in 3 (60%). Most instances of spasm (9 of 10 [90%]) were subclinical, with 2 (20%) requiring nitroglycerin administration. The median (range) time to resolution of spasm was 5 (5-25) minutes.Conclusion and RelevanceWhen creating a mitral isthmus ablation line during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation, adjacent left circumflex arterial vasospasm frequently occurred with PFA and not RFA but was typically subclinical.

ImportanceKnowledge of medical care in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centers is limited. Reviews show high rates of preventable deaths while in detention due to substandard medical care within detention centers.ObjectiveTo describe characteristics of medical emergencies at ICE detention centers in California.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cross-sectional study analyzed emergency medical services (EMS)–reported medical emergencies activated through 911 from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2022, at 3 of the 5 ICE detention centers in California: Adelanto ICE Processing Center, Imperial Regional Detention Facility, and Otay Mesa Detention Center.ExposureMedical services requiring 911 activation.Main Outcomes and MeasuresData included the number of EMS-reported medical emergencies; ICE-reported medical emergencies; patient age and sex; and medical data in the EMS report, including primary symptom, EMS provider (emergency medical technician or paramedic) impression, vital signs, and interventions performed, using descriptive statistics.ResultsIn this analysis of 3 detention centers with a mean daily census of 775 (range, 504-1001) individuals per center, there was a median of 68 (IQR, 10-88) EMS-reported emergencies per center per year for a total of 1224 emergencies. The EMS-reported emergencies involved 881 males (72%) and 338 females (28%) with a median age of 39.0 (IQR 30.0-49.0) years. The ratios of female-to-male EMS-reported emergencies were 0.51 (95% CI, 0.31-0.87) at Adelanto, 0.86 (95% CI, 0.31-2.43) at Imperial, and 1.60 (95% CI, 1.40-1.83) at Otay Mesa. Pregnancy-related emergencies accounted for 12.4% (42 of 338) of emergencies in females. A total of 357 individuals (29.2%) had at least 1 abnormal vital sign during their EMS encounter. Psychiatric emergencies comprised 48 EMS responses (3.9%), despite higher rates of ICE-reported psychiatric-related complaints. The median number of monthly EMS-reported emergencies across all 3 centers was 3 (IQR, 0-9) vs 4 ICE-reported emergencies (IQR, 1-15).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this study of medical emergencies at 3 of 5 ICE detention facilities in California, there were discrepancies in EMS vs ICE reported emergencies. The data suggested that vulnerable populations, such as pregnant women, had an increased number of medical emergencies, while individuals with psychiatric emergencies accounted for fewer reported emergencies. Based on these findings, emergency medical care provision in ICE detention centers requires increased transparency to ensure appropriate delivery of care.

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to report the long‐term results of thalamotomy in 23 patients with task‐specific tremor.MethodsData of 23 patients with task‐specific tremor who underwent ventralis intermedius nucleus and posterior part of ventro‐oral nucleus thalamotomy at the Tokyo Women's Medical University Hospital between 2010 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. To evaluate neurological conditions, the severity of task‐specific tremor was divided into 0 (no tremor), 1 (slightly tremulous), 2 (moderately tremulous), 3 (accomplishing tasks with great difficulty), and 4 (unable to complete tasks). We also used the subscores “handwriting” (0–4) and “spiral drawing” (0–4) of the Clinical Rating Scales for Tremor. Evaluation scales were presented as medians and interquartile ranges.ResultsThe severities of task‐specific tremor were 3.0 (3.0–4.0) preoperatively and 0.0 (0.0–0.0, p < 0.0001) at the last available evaluation. The writing and spiral drawing of the Clinical Rating Scales for Tremor significantly improved from 3.0 (3.0–4.0) and 3.0 (2.0–3.0) preoperatively, respectively, to 0.0 (0.0–0.0, p < 0.0001) and 0.0 (0.0–0.0, p < 0.0001) at the last available evaluation, respectively. The mean clinical follow‐up period was 62.7 ± 26.0 months. Seven (30.4%) patients had focal hand dystonia, which newly developed on the ipsilateral side of the tremor at 2–45 months after the surgery. No serious complications were observed.InterpretationThalamotomy significantly improves task‐specific tremor with high long‐term efficacy, and long‐term follow‐up is important because focal hand dystonia can develop postoperatively.

AbstractBioinspired dry adhesives relying on van der Waals interactions have shown great potential in object manipulation and climbing robots. Although substantial progress has been made in dry adhesives for extreme environments (such as vacuum and microgravity), robust adhesion at low temperatures, i.e., typical scenes in space or polar environments, is rarely achieved. Here, an electrothermal dry adhesive (EDA) based on tunable stiffness for low‐temperature environments is proposed, which can be reversibly transformed between the soft and rigid state in low‐temperature environments due to the electrothermal effect. The former is beneficial for conformal contact, while the latter is convenient for interfacial stress homogenization in the grasping stage. According to the adhesion strategy comprising soft contact followed by rigid gripping, the EDA demonstrates the adhesion of 1063 kPa at −90 °C, i.e., 1022 times higher than conventional polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) adhesives. Moreover, the EDA requires an energy supply (6 W at −90 °C) only during pressing, subsequently changing to the rigid state with no power consumption, which requires relatively low electrical energy compared to continuous heating methods. Such adhesion strategy extends the workable temperature of dry adhesives to −90 °C, opening up a new avenue for developing dry adhesives for harsh environments.

AbstractHere, the development of chiral D‐/L‐CuxOS nanoparticle‐engineered metal–organic frameworks (Fe‐MIL‐88B‐NH2), denoted as D‐/L‐CuxOS@Fe‐MOFs, for cuproptosis and ferroptosis synergistic therapy is described. The D‐/L‐CuxOS@Fe‐MOF displayed intense circular dichroism (CD) bands at 488 nm due to the chirality transfer from chiral penicillamine ligands. Chiral D‐/L‐CuxOS@Fe‐MOF showed tumor microenvironment‐triggered catalytic therapeutic activity by simultaneously depleting L‐glutathione (GSH) and generating potent reactive oxygen species in cancer cells. In vivo experimental results synchronously demonstrated D‐CuxOS@Fe‐MOF with higher efficiency of cancer therapy. The findings revealed that copper/iron ions released from chiral D‐CuxOS@Fe‐MOF induced augmented oxidative stress and potent ferroptosis, which synergizes with cuproptosis for enhanced cancer therapy. The synergistic index for D‐CuxOS@Fe‐MOF is determined to be 1.94, while L‐CuxOS@Fe‐MOF and D,L‐CuxOS@Fe‐MOF with 1.75 and 1.84, respectively. To the best of the knowledge, this is the first report of a chiral nanomaterial capable of inducing synergistic ferroptosis‐cuproptosis therapy for cancers. The results should invigorate studies pursuing the rational design of chiral nanomaterials for efficacious cancer therapy based on cuproptosis and ferroptosis.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe stomach is a vital organ in the human digestive system, and its digestive condition is critical to human health. The physical movement of the stomach during digestion is controlled by the circular and oblique muscles. Existing stomach simulators are unable to realistically reproduce the physical movement of the stomach. Due to the complexity of gastric motility, it is challenging to simulate and sense gastric motility. This study proposes for the first time a bionic soft robotic stomach (BSRS) with an integrated drive and sensing structure inspired by origami and self‐powered sensing technology. This soft stomach (SS) can realistically simulate and sense the movements of various parts of the human stomach in real‐time. The contraction force and contraction rate of the BSRS are investigated with different viscosity contents, and the experimental values are similar to the physiological range (maximum contraction force is 3.2 N, and maximum contraction rate is 0.8). This paper provides an experimental basis for the study of gastric digestive medicine and food science by simulating the peristaltic motion of the BSRS according to the human stomach and by combining the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) sensing technology to monitor the motion of the BSRS in real‐time.

AbstractMany perovskite oxides (ABO3) are considered the most promising alternatives to noble metal catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) due to their high intrinsic activities. However, their electrocatalytic performance is often limited by poor electrical conductivity and low specific surface area. Here an electrochemically induced calcium‐leaching process is reported to greatly increase the electrochemical surface area (ECSA) of La0.6Ca0.4MnO3 (LCMO64). The ECSA of the activated, Ca‐deficient LCMO64 is ≈33.84% higher than that of the unactivated materials, demonstrating superior electrocatalytic ORR performance to the benchmark commercial Pt/C catalyst in an alkaline solution. Theoretical analysis coupled with electrochemical surface state probing and pH‐dependent microkinetic modeling suggests that this catalyst with the identified most favorable state under ORR operating conditions reaches the Sabatier optimum of alkaline ORR. This reconstructed LCMO64 is among the best‐performing ORR catalysts ever reported, providing new insights into the design of advanced perovskite materials with optimal surface chemistry.

AbstractThe best research‐cell efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is comparable with that of mature silicon solar cells (SSCs); However, the industrial development of PSCs lags far behind SSCs. PSC is a multiphase and multicomponent system, whose consequent interfacial energy loss and carrier loss seriously affect the performance and stability of devices. Here, by using spinodal decomposition, a spontaneous solid phase segregation process, in situ introduces a poly(3‐hexylthiophene)/perovskite (P3HT/PVK) heterointerface with interpenetrating structure in PSCs. The P3HT/PVK heterointerface tunes the energy alignment, thereby reducing the energy loss at the interface; The P3HT/PVK interpenetrating structure bridges a transport channel, thus decreasing the carrier loss at the interface. The simultaneous mitigation of energy and carrier losses by P3HT/PVK heterointerface enables n‐i‐p geometry device a power conversion efficiency of 24.53% (certified 23.94%) and excellent stability. These findings demonstrate an ingenious strategy to optimize the performance of PSCs by heterointerface via Spinodal decomposition.

AbstractDeveloping electronic skins (e‐skins) that are comparable to or even beyond human tactile perception holds significant importance in advancing the process of intellectualization. In this context, a machine‐learning‐motivated micropyramid array bimodal (MAB) e‐skin based on capacitive sensing is reported, which enables spatial mapping applications based on bimodal sensing (proximity and pressure) implemented via fringing and iontronic effects, such as contactless measurement of 3D objects and contact recognition of Braille letters. Benefiting from the iontronic effect and single‐micropyramid structure, the MAB e‐skin in pressure mode yields impressive features: a maximum sensitivity of 655.3 kPa−1 (below 0.5 kPa), a linear sensitivity of 327.9 kPa−1 (0.5–15 kPa), and an ultralow limit of detection of 0.2 Pa. With the assistance of multilayer perceptron and convolutional neural network, the MAB e‐skin can accurately perceive 6 materials and 10 surface shapes based on the training and learning using the collected datasets from proximity and pressure modes, thus allowing it to achieve the precise perception of different objects within one proximity‐pressure cycle. The development of this MAB e‐skin opens a new avenue for robotic skin and the expansion of advanced applications.
