Published: August 2023

Academic writing fulfills an epistemic function as it transforms knowledge, creates ideas and becomes a tool for new and significant learning. However, academic writing is very challenging for university students. Therefore, this study aims to determine how writing strategies affect students at a university in Lima, Peru who produce expository dissemination articles. This research used a quantitative approach, an applied study and an experimental design with quasi-experimental characteristics. The sample consisted of 56 second-semester students, 26 of whom belonged to the control group and 30 to the experimental group. The instrument and the programme of 14 learning sessions were applied in the Zoom virtual classroom through synchronous and asynchronous classes. The results showed a value of U= (Z = -5.262 <-1.96) and (p = 0.00 < 0.05) which demonstrates that the programme applied in virtual environments had a significant effect on the experimental group. The four writing processes of planning, textualization, revision and editing are integrated into academic research in the educational field. This program’s aim is to improve and strengthen university students writing skills.

Abstract
Background
Current assessment tools for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) have rarely provided substantive guidance for interventions in clinical applications. The aim of this study was to develop an assessment tool specifically for oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (OIPN), and to improve the accuracy, sensitivity and practicability of clinical assessment.
Methods
This study screened 445 OIPN-related literatures for producing a symptom list, and developed the questionnaire module through expert supplement, item generation, content correlation analysis, pre-testing, and item improvement. The validation phase used a Chinese population-based prospective cohort study from June 2021 to July 2022. Patients were asked to complete both the tested questionnaire and QLQ-CIPN20, and to cooperate for CTCAE grading one day before chemotherapy from cycles 2–6. Cronbach’s α coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated for the internal consistency and stability analysis, respectively. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to investigate the construct validity. The correlations among the tested questionnaire, QLQ-CIPN20 and CTCAE were compared for the criterion validity analysis. Wilcoxon signed-rank sum test was used to compare the sensitivity between the tested questionnaire and QLQ-CIPN20.
Result
A 20-item CIPN assessment tool named chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy integrated assessment – oxaliplatin subscale (CIPNIA-OS) was developed. The validation phase included 186 patients. Cronbach's α coefficient of CIPNIA-OS was 0.764 (> 0.7), and ICC was 0.997 (between 0.9 and 1). The structure of CIPNIA-OS containing seven factors was examined. The correlation coefficient between CIPNIA-OS and CTCAE was 0.661 (95%CI 0.623 to 0.695), which was significantly higher than that between QLQ-CIPN20 and CTCAE (0.417, 95%CI 0.363 to 0.469, p < 0.01). Besides, the total score of CIPNIA-OS was mostly higher than QLQ-CIPN20, with an average difference of 2.189 (CI 95% 2.056 to 2.322), and the difference gradually expanded with the increase of chemotherapy cycles.
Conclusion
This study developed an original CIPN questionnaire which was dedicated for OIPN assessment. It was a comprehensive tool that covered acute OIPN symptoms and integrated features from several proven CIPN assessment tools. The validation results supported that CIPNIA-OS had good reliability, stability, construct, criterion validity, and was more accuracy and sensitive than QLQ-CIPN20 in the evaluation of OIPN.

Abstract
Coix lacryma-jobi L. is one of the most important economical and medicine corn. In this study, a high genetic linkage map has been constructed for C. lacryma-jobi L from a cross F2 community of “Qianyi NO.2” × “Wenyi NO.2” and their parents through high-throughput sequencing and specfic-locus amplified fragment (SLAF) library construction. After pre-processing, 325.49 Gb of raw data containing 1,628 M reads were obtained. A total of 22,944 high-quality SLAFs were detected, among which 3,952 SLAFs and 3,646 of the polymorphic markers could meet the requirements for construction of a genetic linkage map. The integrated map contains 3,605 high quality SLAFs, which are grouped to 10 genetic linkage groups. The total length of the linkage map is 1,620.39 cM with an average distance of 0.45 cM and 360.5 markers in average of per linkage group. This work will provide an important molecular biology basis for investigating their characteristics, gene cloning, molecular marker-assisted breeding, functional genomics and so on for Job’s tears.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background
We aimed to assess the expression profiles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs in children with lupus nephritis (LN) by microarray analysis.
Method
26 venous blood samples were obtained from LN patients and controls for this study. Sequencing of small RNAs was performed to evaluate the expression profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs in these two groups. Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to clarify the potential biological functions and signaling pathways with which altered genes are most closely related.
Result
We identified 502 altered lncRNAs and 291 mRNAs in LN patients compared to healthy controls. A coding-non-coding gene co-expression (CNC) network profile based on eight validated altered lncRNAs as well as 258 interacted mRNAs. Following by Gene Ontology analysis, the target genes of the lncRNAs were most enriched in neutrophil degranulation, secretory granules, and catalytic activity. In addition, the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis reported that the target genes were most enriched in the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway and the Th1/Th2/Th17 significant pathway.
Conclusions
The present study showed that lncRNAs were significantly altered in children with LN compared to healthy controls and may play a critical role in the development and pathogenesis of LN. Thus, these altered lncRNAs and their target genes might be promising therapeutic targets for LN.

Abstract

Objectives
This research paper aims to investigate the morphometric parameters of the distal radius in the Saudi adult population and to compare these findings to the international standards, a total of 389 participant have been included. The specific objectives are to determine gender and side-specific differences in volar tilt, radial height, and radial inclination and to analyze the values of these parameters.
Methods
A retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at King Abdulaziz Naval Base, Armed Forces Hospital in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. Wrist radiographs of 389 participants were evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, including descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and calculation of means, standard deviations, and ranges.
Results
The mean volar tilt was 13.28° (SD ± 3.03°), radial height was 12.41 mm (SD ± 2.05 mm), and radial inclination was 22.93° (SD ± 3.47°). Significant differences were found in radial height between males and females (p < 0.05) and between the right and left sides (p < 0.05) for both radial height and radial inclination.
Conclusion
This study provides valuable data on the morphometric parameters of the distal radius in the Saudi adult population. Significant variations were observed in volar tilt, radial height, and radial inclination between genders and between the right and left sides. No significant variations have been found between our population and the international standards. These findings have important implications for clinical practice and treatment decisions, highlighting the need for population-specific reference values.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background: To study the validity of an artificial intelligence (AI) model for measuring fetal facial profile markers, and to evaluate the diagnostic value of the AI model for identifying fetal abnormalities during the first trimester.
Methods: This retrospective study used two-dimensional mid-sagittal fetal profile images taken during singleton pregnancies at 11–13+6 weeks of gestation. We measured the facial profile markers, including inferior facial angle (IFA), maxilla-nasion-mandible (MNM) angle, facial-maxillary angle (FMA), frontal space (FS) distance, and profile line (PL) distance using AI and manual measurements. Semantic segmentation and landmark localization were used to develop an AI model to measure the selected markers and evaluate the diagnostic value for fetal abnormalities. The consistency between AI and manual measurements was compared using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). The diagnostic value of facial markers measured using the AI model during fetal abnormality screening was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
Results: A total of 2372 normal fetuses and 37 with abnormalities were observed, including 18 with trisomy 21, 7 with trisomy 18, and 12 with CLP. Among them, 1872 normal fetuses were used for AI model training and validation, and the remaining 500 normal fetuses and all fetuses with abnormalities were used for clinical testing. The ICCs (95%CI) of the IFA, MNM angle, FMA, FS distance, and PL distance between the AI and manual measurement for the 500 normal fetuses were 0.812 (0.780-0.840), 0.760 (0.720-0.795), 0.766 (0.727-0.800), 0.807 (0.775-0.836), and 0.798 (0.764-0.828), respectively. IFA clinically significantly identified trisomy 21 and trisomy 18, with areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.686 (95%CI, 0.585-0.788) and 0.729 (95%CI, 0.621-0.837), respectively. FMA effectively predicted trisomy 18, with an AUC of 0.904 (95%CI, 0.842-0.966). MNM angle and FS distance exhibited good predictive value in CLP, with AUCs of 0.738 (95%CI, 0.573-0.902) and 0.677 (95%CI, 0.494-0.859), respectively.
Conclusions: The consistency of fetal facial profile marker measurements between the AI and manual measurement was good during the first trimester. The AI model is a convenient and effective tool for the early diagnosis of fetal trisomy 21, trisomy 18, and CLP, which can be generalized to first-trimester scanning (FTS).

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Air transportation sector over the years has experience tremendous growth, being recognized as an integral part of the global transport system. However, the growth in the transportation system is not void of environmental concerns. The coronavirus disease had a devastating impact on the airline industry worldwide, with almost all air travel suspended in late March till April 2021. Since then, cancellation of flights has enormously reduced CO2 emission in the air caused by air transportation. Negative impact on economy due to contraction in airline industry turn out to be positive impact on an environmental sustainability. Airline sector has been the first and most obvious economic casualty of the coronavirus. International passenger air traffic was crashed with 98 percent of cancellation in air within both domestic and international flying routes due to lockdowns in all airports. To this end, the present study empirically explores the environmental impact of the sectoral lockdown within the EU28 and Turkey by leveraging the Wavelet Coherence Transform (WCT) technique. The result revealed that there was a sharp decline in CO2 emissions caused by the airline industry during the period of 2020–2021 on quarterly basis. The recovery of international passenger traffic will proceed at a very slow pace. From a policy perspective, stakeholders in the airline sector are encouraged to formulate strategies that promote a balance between economic growth without compromising environmental quality within the contact of the investigated bloc.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Early detection of cognitive impairment is essential to initiate intervention and guarantee access to healthcare services. Digital solutions are emerging in literature as an alternative approach to cognitive screening. Our primary goal is to synthesize the evidence on digital solutions' diagnostic ability/accuracy to screen for cognitive impairment. A secondary goal is to distinguish whether the ability to screen cognitive impairment varies as a function of the type of digital solution: paper-based or innovative digital solutions. A systematic review and meta-analysis of digital solutions' diagnostic accuracy were conducted, including 25 studies. Digital solutions presented a variable diagnostic accuracy range. Innovative digital solutions offered at least 0.78 of sensitivity but showed lower specificity levels than the other subgroup. Paper-based digital solutions revealed at least 0.72 of specificity, but sensitivity started at 0.49. Most digital solutions do not demand the presence of a trained professional and include an automatic digital screening system and scoring, which can enhance cognitive screening and monitoring. Digital solutions are adequate for cognitive screening in the community and clinical practice showing sensitivity and specificity levels similar to traditional widely used paper and pencil tests. A detailed assessment of the accuracy levels of each digital solution is recommended.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
The food and culinary heritage with medicinal uses is a fascinating field that combines history, culture, and health through food. Over the centuries, various cultures have developed knowledge and practices related to the use of specific ingredients and culinary preparations with medicinal properties. In the Pungalá parish in Ecuador, these generational knowledge and traditions form a valuable biocultural heritage that helps us understand the close relationship between food and traditional medicine. Through qualitative and documentary research, interviews and community workshops are conducted to gather information using different observation techniques. Among the findings regarding the food and culinary heritage of Pungalá are extinct culinary traditions, as well as important culinary techniques and processes that play a role in nutrition and medicine, valuing traditional and ancestral knowledge as part of their culture. The inventory includes 21 plants used in Andean medicine and 38 preparations, including beverages, porridges, stews, soups, and wrapped dishes. It is concluded that this knowledge constitutes a valuable food and culinary heritage, and its biocultural is based on ancestral knowledge of the healing properties of local plants and foods, contributing to the health and identity of the community. Measures should be taken to preserve and promote this heritage in the face of current challenges.
Measuring Stigma Cultures in Healthcare Settings: Development and Testing of a New Measure
Authors: Stuart Heather , Knaak Stephanie 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background
Organizational cultures represent the norms, values, and assumptions underlying day to data activities and interactions. People with a mental or substance use disorder experience considerable stigma when interacting with healthcare cultures such as feeling patronized, humiliated, and excluded from treatment decisions. The management of healthcare cultures, and specifically stigma cultures, is increasingly viewed as a key aspect of healthcare reform. To evaluate the effectiveness of interventions to reduce stigma cultures in healthcare, valid and reliable measures are needed. Numerous measures assess aspects of the quality of care provided to people with a mental or substance use disorder, but none specifically addresses stigma cultures. To fill this gap, we developed and tested a new mental illness related stigma measure to be used in healthcare organizations to assess stigma cultures of care.
Methods
Item generation was grounded in the lived experiences of people (n = 20) with a mental or substance use disorder and reflect their personal experiences with healthcare encounters for physical or emotional health care. Items are rated on a 4-point agreement scale with higher scores indicating higher stigma. Following the qualitative analysis, national survey data (n = 2,476) were collected to conduct an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis on split halves of the sample.
Results
The analyses provided statistical support for a 23-item unidimensional scale that could be used in any healthcare setting to assess the presence of a stigma culture. Reliability was high (.92) and the resulting scale scores (ranging from 0 to 92) were approximately normal.
Conclusions
The resulting Stigma Cultures in Healthcare scale can be used across a range of physical and mental healthcare settings to assess the extent to which the culture of care is experienced as stigmatizing by clients with mental or substance use disorders.

Published: August 2023

Abstract

Background: Leukoaraiosis is a common imaging marker of cerebral small vessel disease. There is now increasing evidence that it is associated with cognitive impairment and a high risk of death after stroke, among others. The aim of this study was to analyze and screen the risk factors clinically associated with the development of leukoaraiosis, and to explore clinical biomarkers that may predict leukoaraiosis.
Methods: Inpatients were continuously recruited from July 2014 to October 2020. After admission, the cranial MRI examination was evaluated, and the severity of leukoaraiosis were evaluated and graded. Vascular risk factors and relevant clinical data were collected. Univariate analysis was used to analyze the parameters, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the statistically significant parameters. The analysis results were plotted as ROC curve to find out the diagnostic accuracy of the model.
Results: 1), 327 patients meeting the study criteria were included. Univariate analysis showed that 13 factors were statistically significantly (P < 0.05). 2), Multivariate logistic regression model showed that age, elevated systolic blood pressure, ischemic stroke and FT4 were independent risk factors for leukoaraiosis. 3), The ROC curve indicated the accuracy of diagnosis on leukoaraiosis is 0.906, and the positive rate and negative rate are both 85.2%.
Conclusions: 1), Factors affecting the development of leukoaraiosis include age, systolic blood pressure, ischemic stroke, and FT4 level. 2), The model of "age, systolic blood pressure, ischemic stroke, FT4" have relatively ideal sensitivity and specificity in predicting the development of leukoaraiosis.
