Case Carts in Surgical Settings
Authors: Emode Monica , Severn Melissa 
Published: November 2023

What Is the Issue?
Case carts are commonly used in perioperative practice to transport surgical instruments and supplies to and from surgical settings in a timely manner. Open case carts are easy to manoeuvre and clean, while closed case carts effectively contain both sterile and contaminated surgical supplies during transport. Appropriate selection of case carts for surgical settings may support effective workflow processes, infection prevention and control measures, and personnel safety.
What Did We Do?
To inform decisions about appropriate selection of case carts, CADTH sought to identify and summarize the literature comparing infection control and personnel safety between open and closed case carts. An information specialist conducted a search of peer-reviewed and grey literature sources. CADTH also attempted to identify guidelines about the appropriate use of case carts in surgical settings.
What Did We Find?
No studies directly evaluating the comparative clinical effectiveness of open versus closed case carts or guidelines concerning their use in surgical settings were identified that met the inclusion criteria for this review. Research focused on the management of infection control and prevention and personnel safety is needed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of open and closed case carts and inform guidance concerning the selection of open versus closed case carts in surgical settings.
What Does It Mean?
Without any comparative effectiveness evidence, decision-makers may want to consider the organizational features (e.g., sterile processing workflow systems, transport distance to the operating room) to inform the choice of either open or closed case carts. Measures to promote personnel safety when using any case cart may include training for use as well as cart inspection and monitoring processes.

Социальная политика и социальные обязательства государства играют важную роль в обе- спечении стабильности и благополучия общества. Они способствуют созданию условий для развития каждого индивида, а также формированию справедливого и социально ответственного общества. Социальные обя- зательства государства не являются просто благотворительностью. Они выполняют роль регуляторов соци- ально-экономических и социально-политических процессов в обществе. Они способствуют созданию более справедливого и равноправного общества, где каждый гражданин имеет возможность получить необходимую поддержку и защиту со стороны государства.
Social policy and social obligations of the state play an important role in ensuring the stability and well-being of society. They contribute to the creation of conditions for the development of each individual, as well as the formation of a fair and socially responsible society. The social obligations of the state are not just charity. They play the role of regulators of socio-economic and socio-political processes in society. They contribute to the creation of a more just and equal society, where every citizen has the opportunity to receive the necessary support and protection from the state.

Kto jest autorem "Nowej Gigantomachii"? Zniekształcony pamiętnik o. Kordeckiego
Authors: Jelonek Eugeniusz 
Published: November 2023

Przedmiotem artykułu jest analiza dzieła literackiego pt. "Nowa Gigantomachia". Podkreślono w nim, że istnieje wyraźne różnica między poszczególnymi częściami tekstu, takimi jak karta tytułowa i opisu oblężenia Jasnej Góry z roku 1655. Pierwotnie dzieło było przypisywane ojcu Augustynowi Kordeckiemu. W dalszej części przypomniano postać Stefana Damalewicza, który był znanym polemistą i historykiem. Zwrócono uwagę, że jego styl pisania i retoryka są podobne do treści "Nowej Gigantomachii". Autor artykułu sugeruje, że Stefan Damalewicz mógł dokonać zmian w tekście z 1655 roku, deformując historyczną prawdę i fałszując niektóre wydarzenia (np. ruchy i przemoc szlachty). Na koniec zaznaczono, że ojciec Augustyn Kordecki był prawdziwym obrońcą Jasnej Góry, uznawanym za bohatera Polski, mimo kontrowersji dotyczących autorstwa „Nowej Gigantomachii”.

Range Expansion of the Invasive New Zealand Mudsnail (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) in the Susquehanna and Delaware River Basins of Pennsylvania
Authors: Hartzell Sean M. , Macelko Nicholas 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
New Zealand mudsnails (Potamopyrgus antipodarum; hereafter NZMs) are small (≤6 mm in length) freshwater snails that are considered an invasive species in North America. Invasions of NZMs are typified by high densities of snails, which may cause trophic disruptions by displacing native benthic macroinvertebrates. Although NZMs are previously known from several locations in Pennsylvania, we surveyed 24 streams in the lower/middle Susquehanna River basin and Delaware River basin that were not previously evaluated for the presence of NZMs. We detected three range expansions within the Susquehanna basin and 12 range expansions of NZMs in the Delaware River basin, suggesting that NZMs are more widespread in these regions than was previously known. As many of these locations are popular trout waters, introductions are likely the result of spread on fishing gear.
Is Green Tea All It Is Brewed Up to Be? Our Results Suggest It May Not Be
Authors: Mattern Allison , Azar Carmen , Slee Joshua 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Inflammation underlies multiple disorders, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and cancer. Naturally occurring compounds are being investigated for potential medicinal benefit in the treatment of multiple disorders. The published literature indicates that epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), derived from green tea leaves, has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and antimicrobial properties. Through a series of cell-culture-based assays, EGCG was determined to be strongly proinflammatory at 10 µM and cytotoxic at 50 µM, concentrations utilized in multiple published reports, in both vascular endothelial cells and monocyte-derived macrophages. Furthermore, EGCG suppressed wound healing in vascular endothelial cells at both 10 and 50 µM. A 1-µM EGCG treatment appeared to have no effect on vascular endothelial cells or monocyte-derived macrophages when carried out for less than 3 days. Concentrations of 1, 10, and 50 µM EGCG were assessed for the ability to promote the biocompatibility of polymers using a THP-1 cell adhesion assay and a Chandler Loop ex vivo model of blood perfusion using whole equine blood. No significant changes in the number of adhered cells were seen in either assay, suggesting that EGCG does not promote the biocompatibility of commonly used polymers in medical devices. Taken together, our results indicate that EGCG is proinflammatory at the concentrations assessed and not suitable as a therapy to promote biocompatibility.
Comparison Trial of Two Behavioral Sleep Interventions to Improve Sleep-Related Outcomes and Reduce Technology Usage Among College Students
Authors: Pickett Scott M. , Lahar Kari I. , Gaillard Philippe , Kozak Andrea T. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Over 60% of college students are poor-quality sleepers, and many have inconsistent weekday and weekend sleep patterns. Technology usage (e.g., cellphone, computer, television) may contribute to poor sleep, but there is limited experimental research. In a comparison trial, 60 college students (mean age = 18.76, 86.7% female, 53.3% White) were randomly assigned to a 4-week sleep hygiene and stimulus control (SHSC) intervention or an enhanced intervention including technology stimulus control instructions (SHSC-E). Both groups showed improvements in sleep hygiene practices, perceived barriers to stimulus control, sleep quality, general technology usage, and technology usage before bed. However, the SHSC-E group did not have greater improvements compared to SHSC group as hypothesized, which suggests that the combination of sleep hygiene and stimulus control is a robust enough method for reducing self-reported technology usage. A longer intervention period might be necessary to observe the benefits of technology stimulus control procedures.
Edward Bradford Titchener: 3. Psychology as Science: With Wundt at Leipzig
Authors: Evans Rand B. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Edward B. Titchener is known to have been a chief advocate of controlled laboratory experiments in psychology in the United States in the field's earliest days. His intensive education as an experimental psychologist took place over 2 years under Wilhelm Wundt's supervision in Leipzig. Wundt was the major figure in the “new psychology” of the time, which indeed emphasized controlled laboratory experiments. This article describes Titchener's transition from Oxford to Leipzig in 1890, the general characteristics of Wundt and his Institute for Experimental Psychology, and the specific experiences that shaped Titchener's approach to psychology. In Leipzig, Titchener learned experimental psychology from courses taught by Wundt, Oswald Külpe, and others, as well as by serving as an experimental subject for others and by conducting his own experiments. By the time Titchener received his doctoral degree and left Leipzig in the summer of 1892, he had begun to drift from Wundt's approaches to psychological experiment, but he was prepared to begin to direct and develop his psychology laboratory at Cornell University.
The Empreinte in Sculpture and Printmaking
Authors: Van der Merwe Jacques 
Published: November 2023

My personal experiences of living and working in Australia as an artist and immigrant from South Africa have made me aware of the importance of memories. The methodologies I apply in my art practice support the idea of lost or faded memories. Some memories are glimpses, faded and fractured, while others stretch out and become thin and complex like silkworm threads.

Georges Didi-Huberman's empreinte almost acts like a trace or imprint. It is omnipresent, leaving dents and marks on surfaces and objects from the beginning of time. The empreinte finds its origins through contact and movement, impacting the natural transference of shape or form from one plain or surface to the next as an operational chain that forms part of our visual experience. In relation to the empreinte, I will argue that there are parallels between my sculptural work Selfportret ||Self-portrait (Suspense) and that of printmaking.

The mould and the press function as storage for memories; it reflects the artist’s past actions, feelings, and thoughts from the negative shape into a positive empreinte. Forms and surface textures exist as empreintes on the surface of the mould or substrate. The empreinte always requires contact.

I utilise the empreinte throughout my sculptural practice as a tool to signify the fading of memory. The notion of vague memories and the empreinte supports my practice-based methodology of exploring form and visual imagery through various mediums. When I place a medium into a mould, I need to visualise how the positive cast will appear once de-moulded. This inverted or upside-down thinking is akin to that used for printmaking. This paper will investigate the close interrelationship between my sculptural practice and printmaking.

Background: Duloxetine is a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), which has been approved in the United States and Europe for the treatment of the major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, peripheral neuropathy in patients with diabetes and fibromyalgia, but it has not been approved for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome. In an open-label study on the duloxetine impact on symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, duloxetine resulted in significant improvement in the severity of pain, the severity of illness, quality of life, anxiety, and disability at work and life, but this study was conducted on small sample size. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of duloxetine on Symptom Severity And Quality Of Life In Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Methods: A total of 62 patients will be enrolled in the study and will be randomized into two groups (cases and control). Randomisation will be done using a computer generated random number table. Rome IV Criteria will be applied for diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Informed consent will be taken. Severity will be assessed by IBS Severity Scoring System. Screening for psychiatric disorders will be done following a clinical interview. Diagnosis will be confirmed as per ICD-10. Socio-demographic and clinical details of patients will be recorded on the semi-structured proforma. Specified rating scales (IBS-SSS, IBS-QOL) will be applied appropriately. The clinician can change the dosages as per the tolerability within the range. Control group shall receive treatment as usual only. Both the cases and controls will not be given any other psychotropic medications in addition to Duloxetine during the study period. Both cases and controls shall be assessed on the start of the treatment and by 2nd, 4th and 8th week. Drug adverse effects and compliance to treatment will be evaluated every 2 weeks after starting the treatment. Data obtained will be analysed statistically with appropriate statistical tools.
The trial has been registered in the Clinical Trials Registry, India (CTRI/2023/04/051948).
Result: After the collection of data, statistical analysis will be done by using a computerized statistical program, Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Mean changes in the rating scale scores will be compared after each assessment and between the groups.
Conclusion: The findings will help to assess the efficacy of Add-On Duloxetine On Symptom Severity And Quality Of Life In Irritable Bowel Syndrome

The Effect of Innovation Management on Sustainable Competitive Advantage in Contemporary Organizations
Authors: Almrshed Sattar Kadim Hachim , Tuckova Haider Mohammed Jasim Zuzana , Hassan Ali Salah 
Published: November 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to analyse the relative importance of manufacturing SMEs' essential dynamic capabilities, namely their creative competitive advantage, product excellence, and technology acceptability. The industry's idea of dynamical properties provided the theoretical foundation for the study.

Theoretical framework: The theoretical basis is the literature on the impact that two forms of creative competitive advantage — consumer choice and innovative business structure — it has on product quality in the service of fostering long-term growth among micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Also, it looked at the role that technology adoption may play as a moderator amongst innovative financial strength and customer satisfaction.

Design/methodology/approach: Data was gathered quantitatively. Using the use of partial least squares structural equation modelling, we studied surveying information from 245 Nigerian SMEs in the manufacturing sector.

Findings: According to the findings, indicate that consumers' inclinations would not directly impact the quality of items; rather, the introduction of cutting-edge technology moderates the correlation among consumer tastes and superiority in the marketplace. There was a significant and positive relationship found among the corporate business model and product excellence, suggesting that the integration of new technology encouraged this link. In order to grow in a sustainable manner, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the industrial sector, as found in this research, would profit from a rise in customer satisfaction achieved via the introduction of innovative competitive supplementary cost approaches and technical progress.

Research, Practical & Social implications: This research aimed was to investigate how SME' long-term success is affected by factors including consumer preferences and innovative business layout (SMEs). It also looked at how the technological proliferation may affect the correlation amongst innovative capacity and customer satisfaction.

Originality/value: The study's worth lies in the additional insights it gives into the rising innovation necessary for the profitable and sustainability of businesses of all sizes.
