Published: December 2022

Silver nanoparticles have been extensively researched and have several applications such as antimicrobial and anticancer, and can be used in the agricultural, biomedical, pharmaceutical, textile area, among others, but its toxicity is still little understood. Nanoparticles can measure between 1 – 100 nm and the most currently studied is the silver nanoparticle (AgNP). The main methods of synthesis are the chemical and the biogenic pathway, or green, which is less environmentally polluting, more environmentally friendly, and simpler, although standardization is more complex. Morphological and physical-chemical characteristics differ according to the synthesis method and, consequently, present different degrees of toxicity. Nanotoxicology studies the toxicity of nanoparticles on living organisms and scientists seek to know about the physical-chemical properties and their influence on interaction with the environment. It is known that there are several parameters that influence toxicity, such as dose, particle size, shape, morphology, surface chemistry, agglomeration/aggregation state, synthesis method, cell type and organism in which it is tested. Therefore, this article aims to address the main ways of synthesis of AgNPs, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each method, the parameters that influence toxicity and examples of studies.

Published: December 2022

: Halal food refers to food and beverages that are strictly prepared as per the rules emphasised by Islamic dietary law. According to the law, alcohol, blood, pork, animals that died before slaughtering, and animals that were not killed in the name of Allah are considered haram or not allowed to be eaten. In addition, halal food is packaged and stored in utensils that have been cleaned in accordance with prescribed guidelines. This study aims to investigate the importance of halal compliance and export readiness in the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) halal food industry and its impact on business performance in the East Coast region of Malaysia. In addition, this study also tested the relationship between Halalan Toyyiban Awareness and Halal Assurance System (HAS) Practices. There are four research constructs included in this study, including halal and toyyiban awareness, HAS practice, export readiness, and business performance. The questionnaires were distributed to the SME food companies, of which 205 can be used for organisation-level analysis. The research design method used in this study is quantitative, and the main data collection method is a questionnaire survey. A simple random sampling method was used to select the sample. The data was analysed by the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 26.0 for descriptive, reliability, correlation, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed a significant correlation between Halalan Toyyiban Awareness and HAS Practices. There are also noteworthy relationships between HAS Practices, export readiness, and business performance. Export readiness partially mediates the relationship between HAS Practice and business performance. In general, this shows the importance of HAS Practicess and export readiness in boosting SMEs’ business performance. It may persuade government agencies to provide more incentives or programmes in both aspects (HAS Practicess and export readiness) to assist SMEs in the halal food industry.

Published: December 2022

Цифровизация проникает во все сферы человеческой деятельности. Образовательная отрасль все больше заимствует IT-технологии, из которых дополненная реальность (AR) является самой трендовой и инновационной. В этой статье мы познакомимся с подробностями нейробиологического исследования, проведенного британскими учеными, о том, как мозг реагирует на дополненную реальность, и с их результатами и выводами. На основе существующих на международном рынке AR-приложений мы, классифицируя их в группы, рассмотрим наиболее актуальные, на наш взгляд, примеры их использования в образовательном процессе. Отметим смену роли преподавателя при обучении будущего поколения новым технологиям, а также обратим внимание на подводные камни дополненной реальности как технологии обучения.
Digitalization enters all spheres of human activity. The educational sector is increasingly borrowing IT technologies of which augmented reality [AR] is the most trendy and innovative. In this article, we will look at the details of a neuroscience study conducted by British scientists on how the brain responds to augmented reality and their findings. Based on the AR applications existing on the international market, we, grouping them, will consider the most relevant, in our opinion, examples of their use in the educational process. We note the change in the role of a teacher in educating the future generation with new technologies and pay attention to the «pitfalls» of augmented reality as a learning technology.

Published: December 2022

This work is the long-term outcome of an international Ukrainian-Polish team work, aiming to assess the role of ancient settlements for steppe conservation and protection. The dataset contains georeferenced occurrences of vascular plant species on 18 ancient settlements (Lower Dnipro, Southern Ukraine), collected during 2015-2020 period. Additionally, to the total species list, the publication presents the taxonomic coverage (according to GBIF Backbone Taxonomy), the frequency classes of occurrences of the total taxa, and the floristic differences among studied sites. The report shows also the high sozological value of the studied ancient settlements, the high levels of vascular plant species richness, and the various means of the plant species protection (according to the Bern Convention, the Red Data Book of Ukraine and regional red lists).
This work provides the first occurrence dataset from ancient settlements in Ukraine. The dataset includes 3.210 occurrences of vascular plants recorded during the study period of 2015-2020 conducted in the Lower Dnipro region. As ancient settlements were generally considered as steppe refuges, a great attention was paid to the native steppe species, as well as to the rare components of the flora. The dataset includes 1.525 occurrences of steppe species and 87 occurrences of rare species, respectively. The dataset could be useful for further research of ancient settlements` floristic richness, but also analyzes and comparison with other objects of cultural origin (e.g. kurgans, hillforts, old cemeteries, forgotten parks and sacred groves etc.).

The dataset contains the records of vascular plant species occurrences and distribution in old cemeteries (OC) of the Lower Dnipro region (Southern Ukraine). The analysed cemeteries are located in different types of landscapes (agricultural, rural and urban), and represent various ways of using their area (currently used, closed, abandoned). The floristic list includes 440 species of vascular plants. The dataset demonstrates a sozological value of old cemeteries in Southern Ukraine. The cemeteries constitute refuges of native and steppe flora, and play a role of steppe habitat islands in a landscape almost completely transformed to arable land or urbanized.
This is the first dataset which contains information about flora of old cemeteries in Lower Dnipro region (Southern Ukraine). The dataset comprises 2118 occurrences of vascular plants (440 species) recorded in the years 2008-2021 in 13 old cemeteries of the Lower Dnipro region. The dataset includes information about 85 occurrences of rare species (23 species in situ, 3 ex situ) and 652 occurrences of 117 steppe species.

In the era of Big Data, Latin American countries and biomes remain underrepresented. To remediate this issue, promoting repositories for biodiversity data focused on Latin America is a main priority. VegAndes -Dpt the vegetation database for the Latin American highlands (GIVD: SA-00-005), is a novel dataset for georeferenced and standardized information on vascular pants in the region. The database compiles 5,340 vegetation plots sampled above the montane treeline and below the permanent snowline in 11 Latin American countries and spanning over seven decades. VegAndes currently encompasses 5,804 taxon names, corresponding to 3,858 accepted names, as well as 136 syntaxon names. The database is nested within a scientific consortium of Latin American experts on highland vegetation and piloted from the University of the Andes (Colombia). Because the VegAndes data can support multi-scale studies in botany, ecology and biogeography, the database makes an essential contribution to biodiversity research and management perspectives in Latin America.

La coexistence contrariée entre pasteurs et agriculteurs en Afrique subsaharienne
Authors: Jacquemot Pierre 
Published: December 2022

Interpréter les antagonismes en milieu rural africain sous l’angle d’un « conflit pasteurs-agriculteurs » conduit à des analyses réductrices de la complexité des dynamiques à l’œuvre au Sahel, au Lac Tchad, au nord du Nigeria, dans les Grands Lacs, au Darfour ou en Afrique de l’Est. La cause des frictions et des violences ne repose pas sur une opposition ancestrale entre les deux catégories d’acteurs ; elles sont la résultante d’une crise multidimensionnelle de la gouvernance des espaces ruraux. La revue d’une centaine de travaux récents montre que l’écosystème pastoral est victime d’une série de contraintes qui entament ses conditions d’existence. Les ressources pastorales se dégradent sous l’effet du dérèglement climatique. Les fronts pionniers agricoles s’entendent et empiètent sur les parcours. La monétarisation de l’accès à l’eau et la taxation du bétail transhumant au passage des frontières engendrent de multiples conséquences péjoratives. L’enchaînement de ces causes est exacerbé par la grave insécurité ambiante. Les modes de prévention et de gestion des conflits demeurent peu efficaces quand ils ne sont pas inscrits dans la durée.
La gestion des crises bancaires au Cameroun depuis 1982
Authors: Bita Charles Alain , Ngono Jean Francky Landry 
Published: December 2022

L’objectif de ce travail est d’analyser la gestion des crises financières au Cameroun depuis 1982. Toutefois, le système financier camerounais est dans sa majorité bancaire et ses détresses jusqu’à présent proviennent surtout de ce secteur. Il ressort de cette analyse que les mesures prises par le gouvernement camerounais depuis 1982 ont le mérite d’avoir empêché l’occurrence d’une nouvelle crise du système bancaire depuis 1997, soit plus de 20 ans. Par ailleurs, les banques camerounaises ont renoué avec la rentabilité et le risque de faillite du système bancaire est plus faible aujourd’hui qu’au milieu des années 90. Toutefois, ces mesures ont créé au Cameroun un paradoxe. En effet, les banques camerounaises rationnent le crédit à l’économie pourtant elles sont surliquides. Ces banques préfèrent conserver leurs liquidités plutôt que les vendre. Ce qui témoigne d’un manque de confiance des banques envers la population. De plus, la régulation bancaire dans le pays, fruit de la gestion des crises bancaires précédentes, tend à favoriser l’exclusion financière et la prise de risques des banques au Cameroun. Le Cameroun vit donc une période de répit. Si des mesures correctives ne sont pas faites, le système bancaire camerounais pourrait connaitre une autre crise.

Use of Reactive Balance Assessments With Clinical Baseline Concussion Assessments in Collegiate Athletes
Authors: Morris Amanda , Petersell Tessa L. , Pelo Ryan , Hill Sarah , Cassidy Benjamin , Jameson Trevor , Iriye Tom , Burke Jon , Dibble Leland E. , Fino Peter C. 
Published: December 2022

Context
Current clinical concussion evaluations assess balance deficits using static or dynamic balance tasks while largely ignoring reactive balance. Including a reactive balance assessment might provide a more comprehensive concussion evaluation.

Objectives
To identify redundancy in current clinical baseline assessments of concussion and determine whether reactive balance adds unique information to these evaluations.

Design
Cross-sectional study.

Setting
Clinical assessment.

Patients or Other Participants
A total of 279 healthy National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I athletes.

Intervention(s)
Two cohorts of data were collected at the beginning of the athletic season. For cohort 1 (n = 191), the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Tool, instrumented modified push and release (I-mP&R), and Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) were administered. For cohort 2 (n = 88), the I-mP&R, BESS, timed tandem gait, walking with eyes closed, and clinical reaction time were administered.

Main Outcome Measure(s)
The strengths of the relationships between the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Tool cognitive indices, mP&R clinical score, instrumented measures (BESS sway; I-mP&R time to stability, latency, and step length), BESS score, timed tandem gait, walking time to completion, and clinical reaction time were characterized.

Results
The strongest interinstrument correlation value was between single-task time to stability from the I-mP&R and clinical reaction time but was considered weak (r = 0.35, P = .001). The mP&R and I-mP&R clinical scores were weakly associated with the other assessments.

Conclusions
Weak correlations between interassessment variables indicated that little redundancy was present in the current clinical evaluations. Furthermore, reactive balance represents a unique domain of function that may improve the comprehensiveness of clinical assessments.
Multistakeholder Perceptions of Young Professionals’ Integration During Role Transition
Authors: Bowman Thomas G. , Thrasher Ashley B. , Kasamatsu Tricia M. , Lyons Sarah M. 
Published: December 2022

Context
The transition to autonomous clinical practice for early professionals (EPs) has been found to be a stressful time, but no studies with multiple stakeholder groups have been completed.

Objective
To examine the perceptions of EPs’ integration during role transition from multiple stakeholder groups.

Design
Qualitative study.

Setting
Online interviews.

Patients or Other Participants
Seventeen EPs in the first 2 years of their first job postcertification (9 women, 8 men, age = 26 ± 5 years, experience = 9.5 ± 5 months), 16 supervisors and mentors of EPs (6 women, 10 men, age = 52 ± 11 years), and 10 faculty members and 8 preceptors (11 women, 7 men, age = 43 ± 10 years).

Data Collection and Analysis
Semistructured interviews using a validated interview guide based on the current literature were conducted. We analyzed data using consensual qualitative research principles. Multiple-analyst triangulation (n = 3), member checking, and peer review served as trustworthiness strategies.

Results
We identified 4 themes that defined the integration of EPs during role transition. The integration of EPs was facilitated through role inductance and mentoring. Early professionals struggle finding balance to avoid burnout as they are new to the profession and feel obligated to exceed expectations from a coverage standpoint rather than focusing on the quality of care delivered. Finally, stakeholders suggested a timeline by which EPs become fully integrated into autonomous professional practice and understand all aspects of their role that typically takes anywhere from 1 to 3 years.

Conclusions
Early professionals benefited from appropriate graded autonomy during clinical education to develop their clinical reasoning skills, confidence, and mentoring network with past preceptors. Ongoing personal and professional support are needed during the initial few years to ease EPs’ role inductance while they gain more experience and establish their clinician identity. Expectations for EPs should be reasonable to allow for the provision of quality care, adequate work-life balance, and integration into the profession without guilt.

Authors: Siew-Keah Lee , Hann Kang Waye , Hoe Shun Kah , En Lai Rui , Chin Lim Boon , Chan Master Manfai Sae , Kang Tee Zhi , Ang-Lim Chua 
Published: December 2022

Objective:
To investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice levels and perceived barriers towards healthy living to prevent hypertension among young adults in Malaysia.

Methods:
Adults aged 18-25 years reside in Malaysia were recruited via convenience sampling. Sociodemographic characteristics, medical knowledge on hypertension (K1), knowledge (K), attitude (A), practice (P) and perceived barriers in practising healthy living to prevent hypertension were assessed. Average scores were categorised into good (80%-100%), upper-moderate (70%-79%), lower-moderate (60%-69%) and poor (<60%). Multivariate analysis was performed to test the difference and relationship of variables. Pearson correlation test was used to test the association of two continuous variables.

Results:
A total of 1 218 respondents participated in this survey. The mean score of K1 was 54.1%, while the knowledge, attitude, and practice towards healthy living were 82.7%, 78.2%and 68.5% respectively. The prevalence of high salt intake, high fat intakes, low fibre intake, sedentary lifestyle and lack of annual health screening was 83.2%, 81.4%, 70.3%, and 73.2%, respectively. Abnormal BMI was associated with low P scores, while lower socio-economic status, unawareness of self-blood pressure reading and those without family history of hypertension were associated with lower scores in K1, K, A, and P. K1, K, A and P are significantly inter-related. The main perceived barriers included self-proclaimed good fit status, frequent consumption of out-of-home food, and addiction to high salt/fat food.

Conclusions:
The national strategies for health management should be prioritized in reducing salt and fat, promoting annual health screening, physical activities and fibre intake in this age group.
Single-Incision Open versus Laparoscopic Gastrostomy in Infants
Authors: Bawazir Osama A. , Alamoudi Ahmed Hasan 
Published: December 2022

Background:
Gastrostomy tube can be inserted through a single incision without laparoscopic or endoscopic guidance. The superiority of this approach over the laparoscopic technique is still debated. Therefore, we aimed to compare single-incision open and laparoscopic gastrostomy in infants.

Patients and Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed paediatric patients aged 12 months or less who required enteral feeding between 2006 and 2019. Patients were grouped according to the technique into two groups. Group 1 (n = 42) included patients who had a single incision open gastrostomy, and Group 2 (n = 45) included patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrostomy.

Results:
The median age was 2 months (Q1-Q3: 1–4 months) in Group 1 and 5 months (3–6 months) in Group 2 (P < 0.001). Male presented 52.38% in Group 1 and 37.78% in Group 2 (P = 0.17). There were no differences in cardiac and neurological comorbidities between the groups. Operative time was significantly shorter in Group 1 (23 [20–25] vs. 40 [35–45] min; P < 0.001). There were no differences in the post-operative leak around the tube (P > 0.99), granulation tissue formation (P = 0.36), wound dehiscence (P = 0.61), surgical site infection (P > 0.99) and pneumonia (P = 0.10) between the groups.

Conclusion:
Single-incision open and laparoscopic gastrostomy could be effective and safe techniques in infants. The minimal anaesthesia without gas insufflation and short time for the open gastrostomy make it not inferior to laparoscopic gastrostomy and should be considered in small infants.
