Spirometry Reference Equations Including Existing and Novel Parameters
Authors: Johnson Douglas Clark , Johnson Bradford Gardner 
Published: December 2022

Introduction
Spirometry is an essential component of pulmonary function testing with interpretation dependent upon comparing results to normal. Reference equations for mean and lower limit of normal (LLN) are available for usual parameters including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second of an FVC maneuver (FEV1), and FEV1/FVC. However, standard parameters do not fully characterize the flow-volume loop and equations are unavailable for upper limit of normal (ULN). The aim of this study was to develop reference equations for existing and novel spirometry parameters, which more fully describe the flow-volume loop, and to compare these to previously reported equations.

Methods
Data from healthy participants in NHANES III was used to derive reference equations for existing and novel spirometry parameters accounting for birth sex, ethnicity (Caucasian, Mexican American, Black) for ages 8 to 90 years. An iterative process determined %predicted LLN and ULN. Equations were compared to published reported equations.

Results
Reference equations were developed for mean, LLN and ULN for existing and novel spirometry parameters for ages 8 to 90. The derived equations closely match mean values of previously published equations, but more closely fit the LLN. Mexican-American and Caucasian values were similar (within 2%) so were combined, while Black relative to Caucasian/Mexican-American were lower for some parameters.

Conclusion
These reference equations which account for birth sex, age, height, and ethnicity for existing and novel spirometry parameters provide a more comprehensive and quantitative evaluation of spirometry and the flow-volume curve.

Authors: Kojabadi Amir Saberi , Asghari Elnaz , Jabbarzadeh Faranak , Sarbakhsh Parvin 
Published: December 2022

Purpose
Nurses need strong clinical reasoning competency because they provide specialized and important care to patients. It is hence necessary to measure nurses’ clinical reasoning by using a valid and reliable tool.

Objective

This study aimed to translate and determine the psychometric test of Persian version of the nurses clinical reasoning scale.

Methodology
This study was a cross-sectional study. In the first step of this methodological study, the English version of Nurses Clinical Reasoning Scale (NCRS) was translated and back-translated. Then the content validity index (CVI) of the items was assessed based on expert views, and its face validity was examined by studying the views of the target group and experts. In the next step, 170 nurses working in hospitals affiliated with Tabriz University of Medical Sciences were asked to complete the instrument. Finally, the construct validity and reliability of this scale were measured using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha), respectively.

Results
The findings showed that the CVI values of all the items were greater than .8. The wording of some items was changed based on the suggestions received regarding face validity, whereas the results of content and face validity did not necessitate the elimination of any of the items. The EFA results also suggested that the Persian version of the NCRS had a two-factor structure with the titles of nursing diagnosis and care knowledge. The Cronbach’s alpha for this scale was 0.91, which confirmed its internal consistency.

Conclusion
This instrument is valid and reliable enough to assess Iranian nurses’ clinical reasoning in the dimensions of nursing diagnosis and care knowledge. The research limitations and further recommendations will be discussed later in this paper.
SLN Mediate Active Delivery of Gefitinib into A549 Cell Line: Optimization,
Biosafety and Cytotoxicity Studies
Authors: Sherif Abdelrahman Y. , Harisa Gamaleldin I. , Alanazi Fars K. 
Published: December 2022

Background:
Conventional administration of chemotherapeutic agents associated with low drug distribution to cancer cells with multiple systemic toxicities. Thus, enhancing the active delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to cancer cells increases drug distribution and internalization to targeted cells with minimal systemic toxicities.

Objective and Aim:
The current study was designed to prepare and optimize solid lipid nanoparti-cles (SLN) containing stearic acid (SA) that mediate active delivery and uptake of gefitinib (GEF) to cancer cells.

Methods:
The stability of the prepared Plain-SLN formulations was characterized for 90 days. The most stable formulations were loaded with GEF (GEF-SLN) and subjected to pharmaceutical char-acterization. In-vitro dissolution of GEF-SLN formulations was studied using the dialysis method. Biosafety in the terms of hemocompatibility was investigated using fresh blood samples. Addition-ally, the cytotoxicity of GEF-SLN was examined against the lung cancer cell line (A549).

Results:
The obtained results showed that the prepared formulations fall in the nanosize range from 114 to 411 nm with a negative zeta-potential value from -17 to -27 mV. The particle size of Plain-SLN formulations was increased when the GEF is incorporated during preparation. Besides, the crystallinity of SA was disordered following the incorporation of GEF. In addition, GEF entrapment efficiency into SLN was 88% with a sustained-release profile of about 75% in 24 h. Additionally, the present results revealed that using surfactants with high drug solubility negatively impacts the stability of SLN formulation. Furthermore, hemocompatibility results revealed that all SLN formu-lations showed insignificant hemolysis (1- 4%) at all concentrations. Moreover, cytotoxicity exami-nations revealed that SLN enhanced the antiprofilated activity of GEF compared to free GEF.

Conclusion:
These data concluded that SLN is a hopeful approach to enhancing the selective depo-sition of GEF into cancer cells and reducing the lymphatic metastasis of lung cancer.

interaction of carbonyl group and conductivity are obtained, which can be used for
further research to improve the conductivity value to apply it into energy storage devices’
development.
Syndromic Surveillance Using Structured Telehealth Data: Case Study of the First Wave of COVID-19 in Brazil
Authors: Boaventura Viviane S , Grave Malú , Cerqueira-Silva Thiago , Carreiro Roberto , Pinheiro Adélia , Coutinho Alvaro , Barral Netto Manoel 
Published: December 2022

Background
Telehealth has been widely used for new case detection and telemonitoring during the COVID-19 pandemic. It safely provides access to health care services and expands assistance to remote, rural areas and underserved communities in situations of shortage of specialized health professionals. Qualified data are systematically collected by health care workers containing information on suspected cases and can be used as a proxy of disease spread for surveillance purposes. However, the use of this approach for syndromic surveillance has yet to be explored. Besides, the mathematical modeling of epidemics is a well-established field that has been successfully used for tracking the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infection, supporting the decision-making process on diverse aspects of public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The response of the current models depends on the quality of input data, particularly the transmission rate, initial conditions, and other parameters present in compartmental models. Telehealth systems may feed numerical models developed to model virus spread in a specific region.

Objective
Herein, we evaluated whether a high-quality data set obtained from a state-based telehealth service could be used to forecast the geographical spread of new cases of COVID-19 and to feed computational models of disease spread.

Methods
We analyzed structured data obtained from a statewide toll-free telehealth service during 4 months following the first notification of COVID-19 in the Bahia state, Brazil. Structured data were collected during teletriage by a health team of medical students supervised by physicians. Data were registered in a responsive web application for planning and surveillance purposes. The data set was designed to quickly identify users, city, residence neighborhood, date, sex, age, and COVID-19–like symptoms. We performed a temporal-spatial comparison of calls reporting COVID-19–like symptoms and notification of COVID-19 cases. The number of calls was used as a proxy of exposed individuals to feed a mathematical model called “susceptible, exposed, infected, recovered, deceased.”

Results
For 181 (43%) out of 417 municipalities of Bahia, the first call to the telehealth service reporting COVID-19–like symptoms preceded the first notification of the disease. The calls preceded, on average, 30 days of the notification of COVID-19 in the municipalities of the state of Bahia, Brazil. Additionally, data obtained by the telehealth service were used to effectively reproduce the spread of COVID-19 in Salvador, the capital of the state, using the “susceptible, exposed, infected, recovered, deceased” model to simulate the spatiotemporal spread of the disease.

Conclusions
Data from telehealth services confer high effectiveness in anticipating new waves of COVID-19 and may help understand the epidemic dynamics.

Authors: Kittipimpanon Kamonrat , Noyudom Angun , Panjatharakul Pawanrat , Visudtibhan Poolsuk Janepanish 
Published: December 2022

Background
RamaCovid is a mobile health (mHealth) education system that provides the Thai population with information about COVID-19 and self-risk assessment. RamaCovid has a chatbot system that provides automatic conversations (available 24 hours per day) and a live chat function that allows users to directly communicate with health professionals (available 4 hours per day in the evening). The system consists of (1) COVID-19 vaccine information, (2) self-care after vaccination, (3) frequently asked questions, (4) self-risk assessment, (5) hospital finding, (6) contact number finding, and (7) live chat with a health professional.

Objective
This study investigates the use of and satisfaction with the RamaCovid system.

Methods
Overall, 400 people were recruited via RamaCovid by broadcasting an infographic about the study. Questionnaires collected demographic data, users’ experiences of RamaCovid, and the use of and satisfaction with the system. The questions were answered using a 5-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the participant characteristics and their use of and satisfaction with the RamaCovid system. The Mann-Whitney U test was performed to examine the difference in use and satisfaction between the adult and older adult groups.

Results
The participants showed high use of and satisfaction with the RamaCovid system. They used the information to take care of themselves and their family, and they gained information about their COVID-19 risk. The users were satisfied with the system because the information was easy to understand, trustworthy, and up to date. However, the older adult group had lower use of and satisfaction with the system compared to the adult group.

Conclusions
RamaCovid is an example of the successful implementation of mHealth education. It was an alternative way to work with the call center during the COVID-19 pandemic and increased access to health information and health care services. Providing ongoing updated information, improving the attractiveness of the media information, and the age group difference are important issues for further system development.

Peter the Great and Kolomenskoye Palace: Archives, Museums, Archaeology
Authors: Baranova Svetlana , Belyaev Leonid 
Published: December 2022

This paper reviews the key deliverables of the study and reconstruction of archaeological findings on the site of the tsar's palace in Kolomenskoye village. The palace was built in the 1660s–1680s during the reign of Aleksei Mikhailovich and his son Fyodor by a group of masters, including from Central Europe (Belarus, Lithuania and other countries), with important assigned roles. In 1670–1690s, the future reformer of Russia Peter the Great, yet a child and a young man, visited this place. He knew and loved the estate. As instructed by him, the palace was fortified and renovated in the late 1710s – early 1720s. It existed for about one century, when the empress Catherine the Great had to dismantle it as it was too old. The site excavations were launched in the 1920s, and were conducted from time to time later. The most important works took place in 1935, 1970–1980s and in the 2000s.
In order to analyze the obtained data, it was necessary to collect the reports on these excavations and finds from various repositories. The missing sections were rebuilt, and a database of finds was compiled. All information was transferred to the map system. A 3D reconstruction is underway. Simultaneously, the archival texts and images of the 17th–19th century palace were collected. As a result, we have been able to show that the palace was the most important of the Tsar's summer residences, also designed to be demonstrated to the global community. Its interiors contained ample European objects. The atmosphere of the palace inspired the young Peter the Great to enjoy and adopt the Western culture and architecture.

Tujuan dari pelaksanaan kegiatan ini adalah untuk meningkatkan efektivitas dan efisiensi pengelolaan persediaan bahan habis pakai di sekolah. Perubahan basis akuntansi dari basis kas, kas menuju akrual menjadi akrual mewajibkan organisasi pemerintah harus mulai memperhatikan pengelolaan persediaan termasuk sekolah. Beberapa sekolah sudah melakukan administrasi pengelolaan persediaan, namun masih dilakukan secara manual, sehingga masih memiliki potensi rentan terjadi kesalahan dan membutuhkan waktu yang lebih lama. Aplikasi yang digunakan pada pengabdian ini ada dua yaitu berbasis Microsoft Office Excel dan berbasis Microsoft Access. Kegiatan Pengabdian dilaksanakan pada tanggal 27 Agustus 2019 di SD 04 Kecamatan Pelayangan Kota Jambi dengan peserta bukan hanya operator yang berasal dari dua sekolah mitra tetapi juga operator dari beberapa sekolah lain di Kota Jambi. Hasil kegiatan ini diharapkan terjadinya peningkatan kualitas tata kelola persediaan yang mendukung kualitas penyelenggaraan pendidikan, membuka akses pendidikan dasar dan meningkatkan kualitas sumber daya manusia. Sekolah dapat melaksanakan administrasi persediaan secara lengkap dan tertib sehingga akhirnya akan berdampak kepada peningkatan akuntabilitas pengelolaan sekolah
