The objective was to evaluate fertility, cyclicality behavior, and sexual performance of Pantaneiro sheep throughout the year’s photoperiods in Mato Grosso do Sul - Brazil. Two experiments were conducted. In experiment one, the ewes used aged between 2 and 4 years, distributed in three homogeneous groups of 54 animals and subjected to reproductive evaluation in three different predefined luminosity periods, consisting of autumn (11h 45 min.), spring (12h 30 min.), and summer (12h 55 min.). The characteristics studied were body weight (BW), body condition score (BCC), estrus distribution (EST), percentage of pregnant females per cycle (%P), plasma progesterone (PP), and fertility (F) in the three predefined seasons. The mating system used was controlled natural nocturnal and lasted for 45 days. Experiment two, evaluated the ram sexual activity. The males (10) were individually exposed to four ovariectomized ewes. The ewes cycled during evaluated seasons, and the highest fertility was observed in animals with BCC >2.75. The PP concentration differed among periods, and higher conception rates (F) were observed in autumn and spring. The rams (75%) had a medium of sexual performance when they performed more than two ejaculations in 20 min throughout the seasons. Pantaneiro sheep of both genders had a similar fertility index, with early and constant activity throughout the year, displaying no photoperiodism or seasonality.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT

Background
Engaging with the arts can enrich medical education by fostering transformative learning, reflection, and a holistic view of the patient.

Objective
To explore the development of professional competence of residents in prolonged arts-based medical education.

Methods
We followed residents (n=99) of various specialties as they engaged in arts-based learning through creative and reflective assignments such as painting, sculpting, and formal analysis. Participants were interviewed about their learning process and experiences, one-on-one and in small groups, by independent researchers using short, semistructured interviews. We used grounded theory to inform an iterative process for data collection and analysis over the course of 3 years (2016-2018).

Results
Seven themes were constructed, which showed that (1) slowing down education provides room for reflection; (2) absence of judgment and rules sparks experimentation; (3) engaging with emotions fostered reflection and motivation; (4) the artists' methods provided a perspective change; (5) a holistic view on the patient emerged; (6) residents understood the need to take control over their professional development; and (7) there were barriers to overcome in terms of hierarchy and expectations. Our investigation shows that interns and residents undergo a perspective transformation. Key to the development of the physicians in training is the open and affective nature of the arts in education.

Conclusions
Arts-based learning results in a new perspective for physicians in training in line with patient-centered health care and self-directed learning.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT

Background
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, dramatic change in the graduate medical education (GME) trainee recruitment process was required. Kotter's 8-Step Change Model is a change management framework that has been successfully applied to a variety of GME initiatives but not for recruitment redesign.

Objective
To implement major change in program recruitment during the COVID-19 pandemic while maintaining Match outcomes and a high-quality candidate experience.

Methods
In 2020, we applied Kotter's 8 steps to implement major changes to program recruitment for a department of internal medicine including 15 GME programs (1 internal medicine residency and 14 subspecialty fellowships). We collected each program's Match fill rates and used Google Analytics to collect monthly website traffic for the year prior to our change process and the subsequent 2 years. Standardized post-interview survey questions were created, and these results were reviewed for descriptive analysis.

Results
We successfully used Kotter's 8 steps to change recruitment to a virtual format. Program fill rates remained high after implementation. Website engagement improved with peak monthly page rates doubling over previous values. During the highest traffic month, the average time on site increased for 7 programs, while the bounce rate decreased by more than half for 10 programs. Candidate descriptive feedback was positive.

Conclusions
The application of Kotter's 8 steps guided major changes to GME recruitment for 15 programs and was associated with maintained Match fill rates and increased website engagement.
Life Satisfaction Trend and Mortality After Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: A Cohort Study
Authors: Cao Yue , DiPiro Nicole , Krause James S. 
Published: February 2023

Background
Individuals with traumatic spinal cord injuries (SCIs) have lower subjective well-being and diminished longevity, yet there is a lack of research on how life satisfaction and changes in life satisfaction relate to longevity.

Objectives
To identify the relationships between survival status and life satisfaction and its changing trend over a 10-year period.

Methods
Data were taken from the SCI Longitudinal Aging Study. A cohort study of 676 adult participants with SCI completed three assessments separated by 5-year intervals. We applied the survival analyses by using person-year logistic regression models.

Results
There were 135 participants (20%) who were deceased by the end of 2019. After controlling for demographic and injury factors, life satisfaction was significantly related to survival. In the final model, having an upward trend of life satisfaction was significantly associated with lower odds of mortality, whereas a downward trend in life satisfaction was not significant.

Conclusion
Our findings demonstrate the importance of current life satisfaction and having a trend toward improving satisfaction to survival. The findings indicated the importance of psychosocial adaptation to life quality and longevity after SCI.
Multi-label Classification Performance using Deep Learning

Published: February 2023

Understanding and using extensive, elevated, and heterogeneous biological data continues to be a major obstacle in the transformation of medical services. Digital health records, neuroimaging, sensor readings, and literature, which are all complicated, heterogeneous, inadequately labelled, and frequently unorganized, are all growing in contemporary biology and medicine. Prior to building prediction or sorting designs in front of the attributes, conventional information retrieval and statistical modelling predicates need to do data augmentation to extract useful and more durable features from the information. In the case of complex material and inadequate technical understanding, a variety of problems along both phases. The most recent convolutional technological advancements offer new, efficient frameworks to create end-to-end teaching methods from massive information. Therefore, in paper, we examine the most recent research on using deep techniques to improve the medical field. We propose that deeper learning technologies may be the means of converting large-scale physiological data into enhancing human ability based on the reviewed studies. We additionally draw attention to some drawbacks and the requirement for better technique design and application, particularly in terms of simplicity of comprehension for subject matter experts and social researchers. In order to bridge deeper learning models with natural interpretability, we examine these problems and recommend creating comprehensive and meaningful decipherable architectures.

Authors: Назаров Жалолитдин Султон , Рахимов Джамшид 
Published: February 2023

По данным современных исследований обнаружено, что в локусах нуклеиновых кислот видов, относящихся к M. tuberculosis complex, чаще всего, мутации обнаруживаются во всех штаммов семи структурных генов KatG, inhA, kasA, ahpC, ndh, nat и mshA. Установлено, согласно молекулярно-генетическим исследованиям, что ген KatG продуцирует фермент подобный каталазе и пероксидазе. Оценено влияние фермента KatG на устойчивость микобактерий (в частности, M. tuberculosis) к лекарству изониазиду. Препарат изониазид служит «разрушителем» миколовых кислот оболочки микробактерий, фермент KatG, вырабатываемый микобактериями в ходе мутации гена KatG благодаря своей каталазной и пероксидазной активности активирует пролекарство изониазид, которое в дальнейшем оказывает деструктивное влияние на клеточную стенку M. tuberculosis complex. В данной статье рассмотрены аспекты антибиотикорезистентности микобактерий под влиянием их генетических мутаций.

Published: February 2023

AbstractImportance: Parent training is an essential part of occupational therapy intervention for children with sensory processing and sensory integration (SP–SI) challenges, and parents’ learning needs should be considered.Objective: To identify the extent to which adult learning needs are considered in occupational therapy literature addressing parent training as a part of intervention for children with SP–SI challenges.Data Sources: Searches were performed of the following databases: MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, EMBASE, and ERIC. The date range was limited to 1990 to 2019 to capture literature focused on family-centered care.Study Selection and Data Collection: Using Arksey and O’Malley’s framework for scoping reviews and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews Checklist, the following criteria were used to guide the literature searches: population (parents and families of children with SP–SI challenges), intervention (parent training), outcomes (parent learning needs), and concept (parents as adult learners).Findings: Searches produced 133 peer-reviewed articles, and 5 met the criteria for inclusion. Qualitative thematic analysis, including stakeholder interviews, revealed two themes: (1) Parents focus on children’s needs, not their own, and (2) parents benefit from connection with peers and learn through shared experiences.Conclusions and Relevance: Parent training is an essential component of occupational therapy; however, there is limited occupational therapy evidence examining parents’ learning needs, specifically parents of children with SP–SI challenges. Future studies should investigate parents’ learning needs in relation to occupational therapy intervention for families of children with SP–SI challenges.What This Article Adds: Parents’ learning needs are both rarely considered in the occupational therapy literature and important for best practice in pediatric therapy for children with SP–SI challenges. The results of this scoping review point to the need for further investigation of parent training programs specifically examining parents as adult learners.

Published: February 2023

Background and aims – Forests are among the most threatened ecosystems worldwide, and endemic plants are often a vulnerable component of the flora of a given territory. So far, however, understory forest endemics of southern Europe have received little attention and are poorly known for several aspects.
Material and methods – We developed the first list of native vascular plants that are restricted to Italian forests. Available information on taxonomy, regional distribution, ecology, biology, functional traits, and conservation status was collected for each taxon, allowing to identify major knowledge gaps and calculate baseline statistics.
Key results – The list includes 134 taxa, most of which are linked to closed-canopy forest habitats, while the others are also found in margins and gaps. The forest and non-forest Italian endemic flora differed in terms of taxonomic and life-form distribution. The rate and density of forest endemism increased with decreasing latitude and were highest in Sicily, Calabria, and Basilicata, where paleoendemic mono- or oligotypic genera also occur. Endemic phanerophytes were especially numerous on islands. Beech and deciduous oak forests were the most important habitats, but hygrophilous woodlands also host numerous endemics. Overall, the ecology, biology, and functional traits of the forest endemic taxa are still poorly known. The ratio diploids/polyploids was highest in the south and on the islands. Almost 24% of the taxa were assessed as “Critically Endangered”, “Endangered”, or “Vulnerable”, and 24% were categorized as “Data Deficient”, based on the IUCN system. Increasing frequency and intensity of fires was the most frequent threat.
Conclusions – This work can contribute to implement the European forest plant species list and serve as a basis for further research on a unique biological heritage of the continent. However, more knowledge about these globally rare taxa is needed, to support their conservation in changing forest landscapes.

Published: February 2023

Socio-cultural effects of tourism on local communities are now a major focus of academic study. Primarily, the concern is with communities in tourist areas who become hosts and the tourists who become their temporary guests. The development of ecotourism in environmentally sensitive areas can have both positive and negative consequences. This paper examines: (1) whether ecotourism is feasible in marine protected areas; (2) the challenges faced by stakeholders in publicâ€“private partnerships in developing ecotourism; and (3) the needs in ensuring economic sustainability of displaced communities in and around the Tun Mustapha Park, Sabah, Malaysia. This study has employed a mixed method in data collection which includes participatory discussions, semi-structured interviews, and on-site observations and surveys with various respondents â€” namely, public and private sector stakeholders and local communities.Â The observed evidence has shown that with adequate planning and support from private sector tourism stakeholders and relevant public agencies, local communities and the natural environment can stand to benefit from ecotourism development in the area.

This study is an inquiry on the â€œlow fisheries productivityâ€ of a potentially resource-rich coastal ecosystem of 1,408 km2 in San Vicente, Palawan, Philippines. Three main coastal habitats, namely: mangroves, coral reefs, and seagrass beds located in four fishing grounds were investigated. Field observations and rapid appraisal methodology using key informant interviews and focused group discussions were involved in the process. A municipal level stakeholdersâ€™ validation was done to confirm initial findings. Results showed 8 major fishing gears are operating in 4 bays, of which 5 are passive and 3 are active gears. A total of 103 fish species from 48 families and a major species of squid comprised the catch, of which 60% is reef-associated species. San Vicenteâ€™s present fisheries productivity of 1,557.68 metric tons (mt) per year or an extraction rate equivalent to only 1.1 mt/km2/year is far behind its estimated potential yield of 7,040.40 mt per year. In general, the municipal fishing grounds are not overfished. Although commercial and high value species remain abundant, the catches have been declining for most species across gears.Â Thus, sustainable fisheries management regime is necessary to increase fishery production and maintain ecosystem balance.
CSR AND TOURISM DEVELOPMENT: GREENING THE ACCOMMODATION SECTOR IN MALAYSIA

One of the core resources for destination appeal stems from the availability of quality accommodation.Â As destinations compete to improve their global ranking, those responsible for managing the hotel and accommodation sector will play a major role in the delivery of positive destination image. Â Hotels like any other product must, like any market-driven business, become attractive â€œproductsâ€.Â The need to improve skills, particularly those of the front-line service staff, in communicating its corporate responsibility to society effectively to target markets is seen to be critical.Â Â This research paper reports on the findings of a fourteen months study on â€œRedefining Tourism Management: Identifying Critical Success Factors on Tourism Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibilityâ€ in Malaysia.Â It examines the challenges faced by the hotel industry as guests become more selective in terms of accommodation choices while on vacation and comparatively seen as a reflection of their lifestyle at home. A qualitative approach to in-depth interviews was conducted with 64 respondents.Â This included outbound travel agencies and inbound tour operators, accommodation facilities, tourism related non-government organisations and international tourists vacationing in Malaysia.Â The evidence has shown that corporate social responsibility can no longer be seen as a trend but has implications on the sustainability of the business and may improve market share in the long term.
