Factors influencing adherence to Standard Precautions among Nursing
Students: A Self-report Study, UAE
Authors: Ravi Ramya Kundayi , Edwin Vimala , Muthu Priyalatha 
Published: July 2023

Background:
Student nurses are the future healthcare providers. Safe nursing practice is crucial as they often are exposed to multiple infections, including bloodborne pathogens, during their clinical practice.
To assess the factors that influence adherence to standard precautions among nursing students and to find the association between adherence to standard precautions with their selected demographic variables.

Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 103 undergraduate nursing students recruited by convenient sampling technique from a selected health sciences university. Adherence to standard precautions was assessed using a standardized questionnaire, ‘Factors Influencing Adherence to Standard Precautions Scale-Student Version’ (FIASPS-SV). Using SPSS version 23 the data were analysed with descriptive and inferential statistics. Frequency and percentage were used to describe the socio-demographic characteristics. Inferential statistics, namely the Chi-Square test, was used to find out the association between FIASPS-SV and their demographic variables. The P value less than 0.05 was taken as statistically significant.

Results:
The ‘contextual cues’ was found to be the most influencing factor [Total Mean 21.98(6.148), Range 0-28; Mean Response Range of 3.18(.32), Response Range 1-4] while the factor ‘justification’ Fwas found to be the least influencing factor [Total Mean 7.31(6.1285), Range 0-28; Mean Response Range -1.06 (.23), Response Range 1-4] for the adherence of standard precautions among the study participants. A statistically significant association was found between age and specific factors of ‘Leadership’ & ‘Contextual cues’. Gender was found to be associated with specific factors of ‘Justification’ and ‘Contextual cues.’

Conclusion:
The study findings showed that the overall student adherence to standard precautions was good. However, they need to improve in some areas, like wearing gloves when drawing blood or cannulation, following standard precautions when handling needles, and confronting people when they are not adhering to these precautions. The faculty should reinforce and encourage the students to implement standard precaution practices effectively at clinical settings to promote safe practice.

Abstract:
Due to ineffective diagnosis and analysis, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), is still the most aggressive
form of all cancers. Standard therapy for GBM comprises resection surgery following chemo and radiotherapy,
which offers less efficacious treatment to the malignant nature of glioma. Several treatment strategies involving
gene therapy, immunotherapy, and angiogenesis inhibition have been employed recently as alternative
therapeutics. The main drawback of chemotherapy is resistance, which is mainly due to the enzymes involved
in the therapeutic pathways. Our objective is to provide a clear insight into various nano-architectures used in
the sensitization of GBM and their importance in drug delivery and bioavailability. This review includes the
overview and summary of articles from Pubmed and Scopus search engines. The present era’s synthetic and natural
drugs used in the treatment of GBM are facing poor Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) permeability issues due to
greater particle size. This problem can be resolved by using the nanostructures that showcase high specificity to
cross the BBB with their nano-scale size and broader surface area. Nano-architectures act as promising tools for
effective brain-targeted drug delivery at a concentration well below the final dose of free drug, thus resulting in
safe therapeutic effects and reversal of chemoresistance. The present review focuses on the mechanisms involved
in the resistance of glioma cells to chemotherapeutic agents, nano-pharmacokinetics, diverse types of
nano-architectures used for potent delivery of the medicine and sensitization in GBM, their recent clinical advances,
potential challenges, and future perspective.
Impact of Stress on Brain Morphology: Insights into Structural
Biomarkers of Stress-related Disorders

Published: July 2023

Abstract:
Exposure to acute and chronic stress has a broad range of structural effects on the brain.
The brain areas commonly targeted in the stress response models include the hippocampus, the amygdala,
and the prefrontal cortex. Studies in patients suffering from the so-called stress-related disorders
-embracing post-traumatic stress, major depressive and anxiety disorders- have fairly replicated animal
models of stress response -particularly the neuroendocrine and the inflammatory models- by finding
alterations in different brain areas, even in the early neurodevelopment. Therefore, this narrative review
aims to provide an overview of structural neuroimaging findings and to discuss how these studies
have contributed to our knowledge of variability in response to stress and the ulterior development of
stress-related disorders. There are a gross number of studies available but neuroimaging research of
stress-related disorders as a single category is still in its infancy. Although the available studies point
at particular brain circuitries involved in stress and emotion regulation, the pathophysiology of these
abnormalities -involving genetics, epigenetics and molecular pathways-, their relation to intraindividual
stress responses -including personality characteristics, self-perception of stress conditions…-,
and their potential involvement as biomarkers in diagnosis, treatment prescription and prognosis
are discussed.

Authors: Bottani Eleonora , Bellini Valentina , Mordonini Monica , Pellegrino Mattia , Lombardo Gianfranco , Franchi Beatrice , Craca Michelangelo , Bignami Elena 
Published: July 2023

Background
Management of operating rooms is a critical point in health care organizations because surgical departments represent a significant cost in hospital budgets. Therefore, it is increasingly important that there is effective planning of elective, emergency, and day surgery and optimization of both the human and physical resources available, always maintaining a high level of care and health treatment. This would lead to a reduction in patient waiting lists and better performance not only of surgical departments but also of the entire hospital.

Objective
This study aims to automatically collect data from a real surgical scenario to develop an integrated technological-organizational model that optimizes operating block resources.

Methods
Each patient is tracked and located in real time by wearing a bracelet sensor with a unique identifier. Exploiting the indoor location, the software architecture is able to collect the time spent for every step inside the surgical block. This method does not in any way affect the level of assistance that the patient receives and always protects their privacy; in fact, after expressing informed consent, each patient will be associated with an anonymous identification number.

Results
The preliminary results are promising, making the study feasible and functional. Times automatically recorded are much more precise than those collected by humans and reported in the organization’s information system. In addition, machine learning can exploit the historical data collection to predict the surgery time required for each patient according to the patient’s specific profile. Simulation can also be applied to reproduce the system’s functioning, evaluate current performance, and identify strategies to improve the efficiency of the operating block.

Conclusions
This functional approach improves short- and long-term surgical planning, facilitating interaction between the various professionals involved in the operating block, optimizing the management of available resources, and guaranteeing a high level of patient care in an increasingly efficient health care system.

Tatar peasantry of the Bashkir ASSR in the 1920s–1950s
Authors: Gallyamova Alfiya Gabdul’nurovna 
Published: July 2023

The article shows trends, factors of changes in the number, life activity of rural Tatars of the Bashkir Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in the 1920s – 1950s. The history of the Tatar peasantry of Bashkortostan in the Soviet period is inseparable from the history of the peasants of Russia as a whole. As a result of complex, ambiguously interpreted ethnogenetic processes, by the beginning of the 20th century, the demographic majority of the north-west and west of modern Bashkortostan were Tatars. According to the census of 1926, were recorded a significant number of Bashkirs, who considered the Tatar language their native language. The 1939 census recorded a very small increase in the Bashkir population, even though the growth rates of the number of Tatars were higher than the average growth rates of the total population in the republic. The quantitative composition of the Tatar peasants of this region during this period decreased at a lower rate relative to the villagers of other nationalities of this region. By the end of the 1950s, the main trend in changing the demographic picture of the Tatar rural population in the Bashkir ASSR was determined by migration and population reduction. They were caused by the high rates of industrialization of the economy of the republic and the secondary attitude of the state to the development of the agricultural sector. According to the degree of urbanization, the Tatars occupied an intermediate position between the Russians and Bashkirs.

As dízimas das alfândegas carioca e baiana: um comparativo entre a segunda metade do século XVIII e o início do XIX
Authors: Fernandes Valter , Pesavento Fábio 
Published: July 2023

Em 1763, houve a transferência da capital do Vice-Reino, de Salvador para o Rio de Janeiro, inserida no contexto de transição pelo qual atravessava a economia brasileira, na segunda metade do XVIII. Este cenário de importantes transformações pode ser acompanhado através do comportamento dos indicadores fiscais. O desempenho da dízima da Alfândega é um exemplo. A dízima era o principal tributo arrecadado no Rio de Janeiro e na Bahia, e refletia a pujança da renda interna, pois era obrada sobre produtos importados. Além disso, reverberava os movimentos no principal localda vida econômica: o porto. Com base nessas características, o objetivo do presente artigo é analisar um histórico do processo de formação das alfândegas e os dados da arrecadação da dízima carioca e baiana, entre 1769 e 1806.

Authors: Kulagin A. S. , Kleeva L. P. 
Published: July 2023

The article examines the problem of activating the scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation based on the implementation of its own scientific priorities. This problem has two aspects: formation of such priorities and ensuring their most productive and effective implementation, including by identifying potentially most effective actors of scientific and technological activity. The aim of the work is to form, based on the existing experience and verbal analysis, an approach to creating a list of scientific priorities in the Russian Federation and ensuring their most productive and effective implementation, including by identifying subjects of scientific and technological activity that have the greatest potential in a particular field.To determine the scientific and technical potential of potential participants in scientific and technological projects, it is proposed to consider three elements: continuity of research and development, available material and technical base, and the qualification level of personnel. An expert assessment is proposed to be carried out for each of these three directions. These assessments can be supplemented by the results of monitoring the effectiveness of scientific and technological activities.

Published: July 2023

Работа выполнена в малонарушенном ельнике липняковом заповедника «Кологривский лес» (Костромская обл.) на основе данных аэрофотосъемки квадрокоптером. Алгоритмы автоматического детектирования позволили выделить большинство деревьев в пологе леса. Детектирование деревьев по ортофотоплану с использованием нейросетевого алгоритма Deep Forest оказалось более качественным, чем детектирование по модели высот при помощи алгоритма, основанного на методе скользящего окна. Как правило, оба метода демонстрировали более качественные результаты для хвойных деревьев по сравнению с лиственными. Сравнение средних высот деревьев, оцененных по дистанционным данным и измеренных наземными методами, не выявило значимых различий. Показана необходимость дополнительных наземных обследований для оценки качества детектирования подроста.
The work was performed in the old-growth linden-spruce forest of the Kologrivsky Forest Nature Reserve (Kostroma Oblast, Russia) based on aerial photography with a quadcopter. Automatic detection algorithms made it possible to detect most of the trees in the forest canopy. Tree detection by orthomosaic using neural network algorithm ‘DeepForest’ turned out to be of better quality than detection based on the canopy height model using an algorithm based on the sliding window method. As a rule, both methods showed better results for conifers compared to deciduous trees. Comparison of the average heights of trees estimated from remote data and measured by ground survey did not reveal significant differences. Additional ground surveys to assess the quality of undergrowth detection are needed.
Features of profile distribution and nutrient stocks in drained peat soils
Authors: Дубровина И.А. 
Published: July 2023

Исследовано профильное распределение и за- пасы органического углерода, общего азота и фосфора, со- отношение С/N, рНKCl, плотность сложения в осушенном тор- фяном массиве (Южная Карелия, Фенноскандия) для оценки влияния длительного сельскохозяйственного использования под луговой растительностью на почвы различного строения и мощности. Наибольшая степень разложения торфа отме- чена в мелких торфяно-глеевых почвах. Практически во всех почвах в верхней части профиля наблюдается повышенное содержание азота и фосфора, и, напротив, более низкое со- держание углерода и соотношение С/N. В торфяных эутроф- ных почвах и торфоземах запасы углерода в метровом слое близки и составляют порядка 700 т/га. Запасы общего азота зависят от степени минерализации органического вещества и последовательно снижаются с 24 т/га в торфяных эутрофных до 13 т/га в минерально-торфяных почвах. Запасы валового фосфора значительно выше в торфяно-глеевых почвах (5.5 т/ га) и торфоземах (7.4 т/га), по сравнению со слабонарушен- ными торфяными эутрофными почвами (3.2 т/га). В торфяных эутрофных почвах и торфоземах все исследованные пока- затели имеют довольно близкие значения глубже 40 см, что обусловлено более высокой степенью увлажнения глубоких слоев торфяника.
The profile distribution and stocks of organic carbon, total nitrogen and phosphorus, as well as C/N ratio, pHKCl and bulk density were studied on drained peat array in soils of various structure and thickness (southern Karelia, Fennoscandia) to assess the impact of long-term agricultural use of land with meadow vegetation. The highest degree of peat decomposition was characteristic of the shallow Histic Gleysols. In almost all the studied soils the content of nitrogen and phosphorus in the upper part of the soil profiles was higher than in the lower parts, while carbon content and the C/N ratio were lower. In Drainic Eutric Histosols and Murshic Eutric Histosols the carbon stocks in the 1-meter layer are similar and amount to about 700 t/ha. The total nitrogen stock depends on the degree of organic matter mineralization and decreases from 24 t/ha in Drainic Eutric Histosols to 13 t/ha in Histic Gleysols. The total phosphorus stocks are significantly higher in Histic Gleysols (5.5 t/ha) and Murshic Eutric Histosols (7.4 t/ha) compared to slightly disturbed Drainic Eutric Histosols (3.2 t/ha). All the studied properties have almost similar values in layers deeper than 40 cm in the Drainic Eutric Histosols and Murshic Eutric Histosols, which is due to higher water content and more stable hydrological regime in the deep layers of the peatland.
