Perceptual differences in nursing implementation leadership and climate: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Shuman Clayton J. , Ehrhart Mark G. , Veliz Philip T. , Titler Marita G. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Background
The literature on perceptual differences between managers and staff regarding social dynamic factors (e.g., leadership, climate) in nursing settings is sparse. Addressing this gap in knowledge is critical for informing implementation efforts and improving patient and organizational outcomes. The purpose of this study was to test the perceptual differences regarding implementation leadership and implementation climate between nursing staff and their managers.

Methods
This study was a secondary analysis of cross-sectional survey data collected in 2016–2017. The setting included 22 adult medical-surgical units nested in 7 acute care hospitals in the Eastern and Midwestern United States. Participants were registered nurses (N = 261) and nurse managers (N = 22) who completed an electronic survey consisting of the Implementation Leadership Scale (ILS), the Implementation Climate Scale (ICS), and demographic items. Differences in perception were analyzed at the unit level using structural equation modeling to develop latent difference score models (LDS). We assessed associations of the LDSs with manager ILS and ICS scores, years of nursing experience, and years of experience working on the current unit. The association of ILS LDS with the observed nursing staff ICS scores was also analyzed.

Results
Higher manager scores on the ILS and ICS were associated with greater perceptual differences in implementation leadership and implementation climate. Greater years of experience as a nurse were associated with greater perceptual differences in ILS and ICS scores. Greater tenure on the unit was associated with smaller differences on the ILS knowledge domain. Greater perceptual differences regarding implementation leadership were associated with worse staff ratings of implementation climate.

Conclusions
Although this study observed significant relationships among manager ILS and ICS scores, staff-manager perceptual differences, and staff ratings of implementation climate in nursing settings, it is still unclear why perceptual differences in implementation leadership and climate exist and how to address them. Future studies are warranted to test the effect of perceptual differences on implementation and patient outcomes.
Classification of failure modes of pipelines containing longitudinal surface cracks using mechanics-based and machine learning models
Authors: Sun Haotian , Zhou Wenxing 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis paper applies the mechanics-based approach and five machine learning algorithms to classify the failure mode (leak or rupture) of steel oil and gas pipelines containing longitudinally oriented surface cracks. The mechanics-based approach compares the nominal hoop stress remote from the surface crack at failure and the remote nominal hoop stress to cause unstable longitudinal propagation of the through-wall crack to predict the failure mode. The employed machine learning algorithms consist of three single learning algorithms, namely naïve Bayes, support vector machine and decision tree; and two ensemble learning algorithms, namely random forest and gradient boosting. The classification accuracy of the mechanics-based approach and machine learning algorithms is evaluated based on 250 full-scale burst tests of pipe specimens collected from the open literature. The analysis results reveal that the mechanics-based approach leads to highly biased classifications: many leaks erroneously classified as ruptures. The machine learning algorithms lead to markedly improved accuracy. The random forest and gradient boosting models result in the classification accuracy of over 95% for ruptures and leaks, with the accuracy of the decision tree and support vector machine models somewhat lower. This study demonstrates the value of employing machine learning models to improve the integrity management practice of oil and gas pipelines.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Background
Iatrogenic bile duct injuries are unusual but possibly associated with fatal complications with increased incidence since the introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Appropriate estimation of these injuries is essential for proper management. Imaging is vital for the initial diagnosis, extent assessment and consequently, treatment guidance of bile duct injury with an ideal outcome. In this study, MRCP was carried out in 37 cases (28 females and 9 males, age range from 19 to 58 years) with suspected BDI following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. MRCP images were assessed for bile duct transection injury, strictures, biliary leakage, and intrahepatic biliary radicles (IHBR) dilatation. In positive cases, Strasberg classification system was used with the definitive diagnosis was done regarding the surgical findings and/or findings on endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC).

Results
Our study includes 37 cases with biliary injuries. On MRCP our cases were stratified regarding the Strasberg-Bismuth classification into five types (A to E). Most BDIs were type E2 (29.7%), followed by type E1 (18.9%), type A (16.2%), type E3 (10.8%), type E4 (8.2%), type C (5.4%), and type D and finally type E5 and B injuries with each one representing 2.7%. Twenty cases presented with biliary leakage and seventeen with bile duct obstruction, whether duct ligation or stricture.

Conclusion
MRCP is an essential imaging modality for assessment of iatrogenic BDIs enabling the radiologists to classify these injuries and helps to govern the management.

Methodologically, qualitative research was implemented, focusing on grounded theory. We interviewed three Brazilian distributors established in the USA, and fifteen national distributors who export dimension stones. Data analysis indicated that the RM strategies which best suited the sector in the American market were: prospecting for new customers, international partnerships, and customer loyalty. Thus, we identified the profile which best suited American consumer potential.
Estimation of uniaxial compressive and indirect tensile strengths of intact rock from Schmidt hammer rebound number
Authors: Fadhil Amjad Ibrahim , Al-Adly Ahmed Ibrahim Fadhil , Fattah Mohammed Y. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
A number of destructive and non-destructive tests were conducted on rock samples collected from various zones in northern Iraq. So far, for Iraqi rocks, few studies have correlated Schmidt hammer rebound (R) with both unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and Brazilian tensile strength (BTS). In this study, the objective is to develop a relationship between the rebound number of Schmidt hammer surface hardness (rebound number) and both the BTS and the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of different types of northern Iraqi rocks. The required relationship should be based on measured values of the UCS, BT, and Schmidt hammer hardness. To determine the relationship between R and both the UCS and BTS, 120 intact rock samples were prepared and tested using a uniaxial compressive test machine, a Brazilian test apparatus, and an L-type Schmidt hammer test (BTS). Three different types of rock samples (sandstone, claystone, and limestone) were collected from several locations in northern Iraq (Domeez, Baadra, and Zawita). For the three types of rocks, a new linear correlation with a high value of the regression coefficient R
2 is presented, linking the UCS and BTS separately versus R. For the three types of rocks studied, the correlation between UCS and R is better than the correlation between Brazilian tensile strength (BTS) and R.
Enhancing performance and optimization of multichannel bidirectional WDM-PON with hybrid optical amplifiers employing diverse post dispersion compensation schemes
Authors: Parkash Sooraj 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This paper is successfully demonstrated simulative comparison and investigation of 32 channels with 0.8 nm frequency spacing bidirectional wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) having 640 and 320 GB/s data rate in downstream and upstream transmission by using CRZ-DPSK/NRZ modulation formats respectively. The maximum reach of the system has been configured to 100 km by employing different post-dispersion compensation techniques such as EDC, DCF, OPC, and FBG in uplink and downlink transmission for compensate the effect of chromatic dispersion in propagating channel. An EDFA optical amplifier is placed after DCF for boosting the amplitude of weak signals downstream. Apart from this, the RSOA amplifier is installed at the ONT end for reflecting and re-modulates the same wavelengths to the CO terminal without using any external optical light source. The performance comparison of distinct compensation schemes are evaluated in terms of BER, Q factor, and Eye diagrams. It has been observed that the FBG and DCF are more robust compensation techniques as compared to EDC and OPC in the bidirectional WDM-PON. The maximum satisfying value of BER has been observed in downlink and uplink transmissions are 10−26 and 10−13 for FBG and DCF respectively.
Conceptualization of emotions in the novel The Slynxby Tatyana Tolstaya
Authors: Głogowska Anna , Ostanina-Olszewska Julia 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The language of emotions is culturally conditioned and a conceptualization of emotions is determined by the value systems adopted in given cultures, as well as by personal experiences in recognizing, valuing, and communicating those emotions. It is believed that sometimes certain emotions have no lexical equivalents in particular languages. Even within one culture and one language, we can observe a gray area in the meaning of terms from this field. This is not surprising, given the subjective perception of the world by each member of a specific community, as well as the multitude of emotions themselves.
Although most information about other people’s emotions comes to the recipients through language, talking or writing about them is not simple. Emotions are among the concepts that are not very clearly delineated in our experience and therefore other, more comprehensible concepts, such as spatial orientations or objects, should be used when referring to them.
In the novel The Slynx by Tatyana Tolstaya, emotions are conceptualized and represented for instance by liquids, small animals, natural forces, and substances with some specific taste (sour, bitter, etc.). Our goal was to figure out which emotions and their linguistic instantiations are only typical for the Russian language and which ones would fall in the universal category. The paper will focus on the description and the way emotions are conceptualized from a cognitive linguistic perspective, drawing on CMT (Conceptual Metaphor Theory), conceptual metonymies, and cognitive models.
Translation of Perso-Arabic loanwords from Hindi into Polish: A pilot study
Authors: Bąkowski Jacek 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In contemporary literary Hindi there is an abundance of Perso-Arabic loanwords which often function similarly to words of Sanskrit origin. Despite their semantic proximity, each of them can have different connotational meanings and cultural associations. Furthermore, depending on the context, one of them will be preferred to the other. This situation can become an issue when translating from Hindi into Polish. In this paper, I will investigate whether these loanwords should be considered as a third language in translation. If this is the case, they make the text a multicultural one, and, thus, raise the question of how to translate them into Polish, being at the same time focused on a monolingual recipient and their cognitive comfort while not impoverishing and distorting the process of translation. Moreover, I will propose an approach which can be of assistance in achieving this goal, relying on French and Latin loanwords used in the Polish language.
Ukraine’s Voice Makes Russia Angry; Lithuania Speaks Boldly... Constructing attitudinal stance through personification of countries
Authors: Cibulskienė Jurga , Šeškauskienė Inesa 
Published: January 2023

AbstractPersonification, one of major types of metaphors often employed to express an attitude, is also an argumentative tool, especially in media texts on politically contested events. The present investigation aims at disclosing the attitudinal stance in personifying Ukraine, Russia, the Western countries and Lithuania in a corpus of texts collected from Lithuanian media in 2015–2018. The study relies on the three-step Critical Metaphor Analysis (CMA, Charteris-Black 2004), involving three levels: linguistic, cognitive and rhetorical. More specifically, they include (1) identifying personification cases, (2) interpreting personification through cognitive metaphorical scenarios (Musolff 2016), and (3) explaining ideological implications encoded in the scenarios. The findings indicate that in the scenario of COMMUNICATION, Ukraine is mostly presented positively: active defender and in need of support, with occasional scepticism whether it is capable to change. The West, Lithuania including, is presented as a supporter, whereas Russia is viewed as a negatively evaluated antagonist.
Scare rhetoric as a device used to bolster Jewish fighting and pioneering spirit: David Ben-Gurion’s use of antithesis reference
Authors: Shakkour Aadel 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this article we examined Ben-Gurion’s scare rhetoric reflected in the antithesis relation as a device used to bolster the fighting and pioneering spirit of the Jewish people. We tried to show how Ben-Gurion strove to skew and manipulate the political discourse in order to raise the soldiers’ fighting morale, promote ideological positions on Zionist pioneering, and the Jewish people’s psychological fortitude, and, thus amplify its fighting spirit based on the belief that it would be the soldiers’ fighting spirit and faith in the justness of the war that would ultimately determine the outcome.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
At the core of quantum photonic information processing and sensing, two major building pillars are single-photon emitters and single-photon detectors. In this review, we systematically summarize the working theory, material platform, fabrication process, and game-changing applications enabled by state-of-the-art quantum dots in nanowire emitters and superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors. Such nanowire-based quantum hardware offers promising properties for modern quantum optics experiments. We highlight several burgeoning quantum photonics applications using nanowires and discuss development trends of integrated quantum photonics. Also, we propose quantum information processing and sensing experiments for the quantum optics community, and future interdisciplinary applications.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
The solvability of several new constrained quaternion matrix equations is investigated, and their unique solutions are presented in terms of the weighted MPD inverse and weighted DMP inverse of suitable matrices. It is interesting to consider some exceptional cases of these new equations and corresponding solutions. Determinantal representations for the solutions of the equations as mentioned earlier are established as sums of appropriate minors. In order to illustrate the obtained results, a numerical example is shown.
A theological pastoral perspective to prayer ministry in Nigeria
Authors: Uroko Favour C. , Okponung Blessing , Ngozika Attah 
Published: January 2023

This article examines prayer ministry in Nigeria from a theological pastoral perspective. The objectives of this study include (1) to assess prayer ministry in Nigeria; (2) to explore reasons for the boom in prayer ministries in Nigeria; (3) to assess the impact of the activities of prayer ministries in Nigeria. Existing literature have not adequately explored prayer ministry from a theological pastoral lens. In Nigeria, prayer ministries could be seen all over the place, with the intent of exploiting unsuspecting Nigerians. Religion has been so commercialised and commoditised to the extent that we now have “prayer consultants and contractors” whose task is to assist spiritually “weak” people to fast and pray for divine solutions to their problems. Their trademark is to see scary visions about their victims whom they will ask to go on fasting and intense prayers to ward off the looming danger on their lives or those of their family. If the victim says they do not have the strength for such a spiritual exercise, they will offer to help out for a fee. Oftentimes, the so-called vision is a figment of imagination of these fraudsters masquerading as men of God. This study was adopted content analysis through a phenomenological approach. Findings reveal that several of these prayer houses engaged in prayer merchandising, collecting money and material things from their victims, with the promise of prayer for them to gain spiritual and physical freedom. Also, there are reports of immoral activities such as rape happening there. Thus, Christian religious worship is long longer practiced in truth, and prayer houses no longer a place of righteousness, but a place of economic and material exploitationWith this study, Nigerians are better sensitised on how to prevent themselves from falling victim to religious fraud, and the church is also equipped on how to deal with a menace of this nature. The article concluded that a theological pastoral perspective of prayer ministry in Nigeria exposes how prayer houses have derailed and started extorting covertly and overtly from the unsuspecting members. The recommendations are discussed.
Knowledge regarding prevention of pulmonary tuberculosis among tuberculosis patient
Authors: Vyas Prabhanshu , Solomon Smriti G. 
Published: January 2023

Tuberculosis is a infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculin. The disease primarily affects the lungs and cause pulmonary tuberculosis. It can also affect structure such as Intestine, meanings, bones and joints, lymph gland, skin and others tissue and body parts. The disease also affects animals like cattle; which is known as “bovine tuberculosis” which may also communicate to man. Pulmonary tuberculosis is the most common form of Tuberculosis, which affect the man. A quantitative evaluative approach with one group pre-test design was used for the study. The samples consisted of 60 tuberculosis patient selected by Non probability purposive sampling technique. Data was collected by administering a structured knowledge questionnaire by the investigator before and after self-instructional module. Post-test was conducted after 7 days. Data were analysis using descriptive & inferential statistics (Paired‘t’ test, Chi- square test, Karl- Person’s correlation. The result of this study indicates that there was a significant increase in the post-test knowledge scores compared to pre-test scores of first aid minor ailments of prevention of tuberculosis. The mean knowledge score was observed 1.80 ± 0.40 in the pre-test and after implementation of self-instructional module post-test mean knowledge score was observed with 3.30 ± 0.46. T-test is shows the effectiveness of self-instructional module was -25.66. State will happened the experiment doesn't make any difference H0 will be no significant difference between pre-test and post test knowledge scores regarding prevention of Pulmonary Tuberculosis. Thus, after the analysis and interpretation of the data, we can conclude that the hypothesis H1 that, “There will be a significant difference in the pre-test and post-test knowledge score regarding prevention of Pulmonary Tuberculosis among tuberculosis patients is being accepted. And the hypothesis H2 “it was found out that the age, gender, educational status, occupation and previous knowledge found to be insignificant at the level of P&#60; 0.05 is being rejected. From the above results, we can conclude that there was a statistically significant effectiveness seen in knowledge of tuberculosis patients. Thus, the intervention “Self- instructional module” was effective in improving the knowledge of tuberculosis patients.

La cooperazione internazionale è spesso presentata come un'area di conoscenza in cui alcuni approcci metodologici misurano i flussi e le relazioni di potere per classificarli in tipologie che li descrivono e generano modelli di analisi. Diventa così parte di un'istituzionalità dove la conoscenza e le pratiche delle relazioni internazionali sono predominanti e ad esse subordinate. Si lasciano attraversare da interessi che fissano i confini dei paesi e assegnano valori gerarchici ai cittadini, secondo il loro inserimento nei sistemi produttivi di ogni paese e nella gerarchia dei paesi. In questa pubblicazione e nell'esperienza che ne deriva, questo approccio non è efficace. Al centro della riflessione non vi è assolutamente la divergenza con le conoscenze accumulate nel campo delle relazioni internazionali. Il focus è piuttosto di tipo metodologico. Invece di flussi geografici ed emisferici (nord-sud, sud-sud), abbiamo qui flussi mossi dalla solidarietà, dal lavoro collaborativo e da un concetto di globalità dove le persone (il popolo, ci ha detto Paulo Freire) sono centraliii. I flussi di cooperazione, in questa modalità di esperienze, hanno molteplici direzioni e si muovono continuamente. Non c'è uno schema di direzione fisso. Quando parliamo di questo lavoro e della collaborazione stessa, parliamo del Laboratorio italo-brasiliano di formazione, ricerca e pratiche in materia di salute collettiva. Il nome inizia con "laboratorio" per evidenziare il modo di produrre, che è alchemico, mescolando i componenti di qui, di là e “tra”. I nostri incontri devono essere inventati ogni anno, in quanto ciò che è stato fatto l'anno precedente non risponde più nello stesso modo e si perseguono altre modalità. Così, incorporiamo l’altro in noi.
