Identifying the Gamma-Ray Emission of the Nearby Galaxy M83
Authors: Xing Yi , Wang Zhongxiang 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
We report on the detection of a γ-ray source at the position of the nearby star-forming galaxy (SFG) M83, which is found from our analysis of 14 yr of the data obtained with the Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi). The source is weakly detected, with a significance of ∼5σ, and its emission can be described with an exponentially cutoff power law. At a distance of 4.61 Mpc, the source’s γ-ray luminosity is ∼1.4 × 1039 erg s−1, roughly along the correlation line between the γ-ray and IR luminosities determined for nearby SFGs. Because of the weak detection, the source spectrum can not be used for checking its similarity with those of other SFGs. Given the positional matches and the empirical expectation for γ-ray emission from M83 due to the galaxy’s star-forming activity, we conclude that the γ-ray source is the likely counterpart to M83. The detection thus adds another member to the group of approximately a dozen SFGs, whose γ-ray emissions mostly have a cosmic-ray origin.

Abstract
Next-generation surveys like the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) on the Vera C. Rubin Observatory (Rubin) will generate orders of magnitude more discoveries of transients and variable stars than previous surveys. To prepare for this data deluge, we developed the Photometric LSST Astronomical Time-series Classification Challenge (PLAsTiCC), a competition that aimed to catalyze the development of robust classifiers under LSST-like conditions of a nonrepresentative training set for a large photometric test set of imbalanced classes. Over 1000 teams participated in PLAsTiCC, which was hosted in the Kaggle data science competition platform between 2018 September 28 and 2018 December 17, ultimately identifying three winners in 2019 February. Participants produced classifiers employing a diverse set of machine-learning techniques including hybrid combinations and ensemble averages of a range of approaches, among them boosted decision trees, neural networks, and multilayer perceptrons. The strong performance of the top three classifiers on Type Ia supernovae and kilonovae represent a major improvement over the current state of the art within astronomy. This paper summarizes the most promising methods and evaluates their results in detail, highlighting future directions both for classifier development and simulation needs for a next-generation PLAsTiCC data set.
Comparison of Biochemical, Haematological and Plasmatic Butyrylcholinesterase Parameters in Farmers and Non-Farmers, Morocco
Authors: Sine Hasnaa , Bouchriti Youssef , Sine Hayat , Achbani Abderrahmane 
Published: July 2023

Background:
The long-term use of pesticides can cause harmful consequences to both human health and the environment. In the present research, we aimed to compare biochemical, hematological, and plasmatic measurements of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) between farmers and non-farmers.

Materials and Methods:
The study is cross-sectional and included 270 participants, with 135 farmers using pesticides and a control population of 135 non-farmers. The recruitment of the participants was conducted from August 2017 to the end of December 2019. Blood samples from participants were collected for the evaluation of biochemical markers of the function of the liver and determination of BChE activity. A whole blood sample with ethylenediamine tetraacetic anticoagulant (EDTA) was also taken for a complete blood count.

Results:
The results showed a statistically significant (P = 0.03) decrease in mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) in the cases (28.45 ± 2.94 pg) as compared with controls (29.17 ± 2.54 pg). The statistical analysis of the renal parameters between the two groups determined that the uremia value was significantly higher in cases (34 ± 12 mg/dL) when compared to the control group (29 ± 8 mg/dL) P < 0.001. The cases recorded a significant increase in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (26.22 ± 11.59 U/L) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (25.63 ± 13.47 U/L) enzyme activities among cases versus controls. The results obtained showed a significantly decreased BChE activity in the group of cases exposed to pesticides (7554.52 ± 2107 U/l) compared to the unexposed control group (10135.58 ± 1909 U/l) (t-test, P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
The education of the farmers on correct practices concerning phytosanitary use has the potential of reducing their exposure to these products.

Decision Behavior and Influential Factors of Spectacle Prescription for Schoolchildren in Taiwan
Authors: Chang Chao Kai , Huang Ching Yao , Chen Chih-Ming 
Published: July 2023

Background:The prevalence of children myopia in Taiwan is among the highest in the world. The study aimed to understand the status of the final prescription of the spectacle prescribed by the Taiwan optometrists when they conducted the visual inspection of elementary school, middle school and high school students, and to evaluate the influencing factors of their decision-making behavior.
Methods: Among the attendants of the continuing education course activities held by optometrist associations in Taiwan, an anonymous questionnaire survey was given on the spot to optometrists who have passed the national examination. This study received 442 questionnaire surveys, including 174 optometrists and 268 assistant optometrists. The data were analyzed by using chi-square test in IBM SPSS.
Results: There are statistically significant differences in the decision-making of spectacle prescription for myopia of -1.00D~-1.50D and -2.25D~-2.50D in the primary school stage between optometrists and assistant optometrists. There are also significant differences for myopia of -2.25D and above in the middle school students. By the time of high school, there are significant differences for myopia from -0.75D to -3.25D and above. The higher the grade, the greater the difference in the final prescription of the spectacles given. As for the judgment factors of the final prescription, only children among elementary school and junior high school show a statistically significant difference in professional judgment between optometrists and assistant optometrists. There is no significant difference in the judgment factors for high school children. Depending on the educational level of optometrists and assistant optometrists and their distribution area, the prescription decisions are also different.
Conclusions: The optometrists prefer to prescribe full correction for schoolchildren, while the assistant optometrists mostly prescribe under-correction in prescriptions for low-degree myopia and lower grades. Further investigation is needed to study its impact on children’s visual health.
Ad hoc digital communication and assessment during clinical placements in nursing education; a qualitative research study of students’, clinical instructors’, and teachers’ experiences
Authors: Svendsen Edel Jannecke , Opheim Randi , Hermansen Bjørg Elisabeth , Hardeland Camilla 
Published: July 2023

Background
There was a concern about the shortage of nurses that resulted from the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, universities and university colleges were instructed to continue educating nursing professionals but were challenged by the social distancing and the limitations of clinical placements and clinical-field instructors. Clinical placement is essential in the students’ development of practical skills and knowledge. Thus, transitioning to a digital follow-up platform of communication with the students between the universities/college and the clinical practice sites became necessary.

Purpose
To obtain knowledge about the experiences from the university/college teachers, students, and clinical-field instructors regarding the transition to a digital learning environment that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods
Qualitative individual digital interviews were conducted for data collection at three different nursing education programs from three Norwegian university/university college sites. Five students, four clinical-field instructors, and nine university/college teachers participated (n = 18).

Results
The inductive analyses identified two main themes: (1) Efficiency compromising pedagogical quality, and (2) Digital alienation.

Conclusions
Students and university/college teachers were worried about fluctuating quality with digital pedagogical. There were concerns that the students educated during this period will have reduced clinical competencies.

Zusammenfassung
Über die Bedeutung, aber auch die Ausgestaltung des Religionsunterrichts im Schulalltag des Dessauer Philanthropin ist bisher wenig bekannt. Oftmals wird ein im Sinne einer fortschrittlichen ›Aufklärung‹ fast säkularer Umgang mit Religion vermutet, wobei in der Forschung gleichzeitig betont wird, wie verbunden die deutsche Aufklärung und mit ihr der Philanthropismus mit dem Christentum war gegenüber etwa der französischen Aufklärung. Im vorliegenden Artikel wird diesem ambivalenten Bild nachgegangen. Der Schwerpunkt des Artikels liegt auf den Berichten zu Christian Gotthilf Salzmanns (1744–1811) Religionsunterricht, in denen er Inhalte und Methoden darstellt.

Abstract
This article presents a uniform and optimal numerical method to solve the Singular Perturbed second order initial value problem which occurs in fluid dynamics, and blood flow. The numerical solution of the proposed method in this article reflects the asymptotic behavior of the solution of the given initial value problem. This method works well for small values of the singular perturbation parameter and even for large step sizes. It is a uniform and optimal numerical method. The rate of the order of convergence of the method is proved to be O(min(h, ε)). To view the initial layer the fitted mesh is applied which involves non-uniform mesh. The numerical and graphical results show the performance of the numerical method. In the future, this work will be extended to nonlinear problems and partial differential equations.
ADOPTION DECISION AND INTENSITY OF INORGANIC FERTILIZER USAGE AMONG PADDY FARMERS IN KALUTARA: A CRAGG’S DOUBLE HURDLE MODEL APPROACH

Published: July 2023

Fertilizer, whether inorganic or organic is one of the most essential inputs for increasing productivity which leads to increase the agricultural production and the income of the farming community. Therefore, understanding the factors that affect farmers’ use of fertilizers is crucial to develop strategies to improve its efficient use and to minimize its negative impacts on rural community. In this background, this study aimed to identify the determinants of adoption decision and intensity of inorganic fertilizer usage among paddy farmers in Kalutara district. The data related to 150 paddy farmers were collected from Mathugama, Dodangoda and Horana Divisions in Kalutara district using multistage random sampling method. Among the respondents, 56% were farmers adopting inorganic farming and 44% of them adopting organic fertilizers. Results of independent samples t-test suggested that on average farmer’s age, distance to the nearest market and land size significantly differed between inorganic and organic farmers. Cragg’s double hurdle model was used to investigate the determinants of adoption decision and intensity of inorganic fertilizer usage among paddy farmers. The results of the study revealed that the likelihood of fertilizer adoption decision was influenced by land size, distance to the nearest market and credit accessibility while, the factors such as age, income and, off – farm income significantly influenced the intensity of fertilizer adoption. Therefore, a concerted effort is needed to encourage fertilizer adoption and intensity of inorganic fertilizer usage by increasing the size of land, facilitating to access credit, motivating the young farmers towards paddy farming and, stimulating the farmers to engage in off – farm income activities, which could be useful for fertilizer adoption decision and its extension of application in the study.
Keywords: Adoption Decision, Cragg’s Double Hurdle Model, Inorganic Fertilizer, Land Ownership, Off – Farm Income.
Philosophical and educational reflections of ancient Greek peripatetics
Authors: Turenko Vitalii 
Published: July 2023

The article proposes an examination and academic translation into Ukrainian of a series of works by ancient Greek thinkers-peripatetics, which reveal the problems of education and upbringing. In the center of attention, in particular, there are fragments of the works of such philosophers as Clearchus of Soli, Hieronymus of Rhodes and Aristo of Keos.
It is revealed that on the basis of the surviving fragments of the work “On Education”, Clearchus of Sol focuses attention on the history of education and emphasizes the importance of the persistence of philosophical reflection in non-Greek thinkers, while not diminishing the importance of the achievements of the Egyptians, Hindus and Persians in the history of human thinking. For the Peripatetic, it was important to show that education was important not only for Greek society, but also for other states of the ancient world.The thinker notes the importance of the aesthetic in education (music, singing), thereby opposing the sophists and continuing the arguments not only of Aristotle, but also of Plato and the Pythagoreans. Also, in the heritage of this peripatetic can be seen as a criticism of the education system of the conical school, which is aimed at taking not the best, but the worst of the way of life of dogs.
It is proved that two fragments of the work of Hieronymus of Rhodes “On the upbringing of children” reflect the transformation of the role of teachers in Ancient Greece from supervision to instruction and education and the growing interest directly in “liberal” education, which should correspond to the development of future citizens.
It is substantiated that in the surviving fragment of Aristo of Keos there is an idea on the importance of providing the right education from the first steps of the child, since it is then that it is possible to properly educate him, instilling the best virtues in both the individual and social aspects of life.

Published: July 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as contribuições de um Programa de Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde Mental para a formação de sujeitos críticos no campo da atenção psicossocial, a partir do estudo de caso da residência multiprofissional em saúde mental da UNIVASF (Universidade Federal do Vale do São Francisco). Envolveu a combinação de entrevistas estruturadas e análise documental complementar. Os resultados mostraram que foram reconhecidos aspectos de embasamento das práticas de atenção psicossocial, alinhados com a reforma psiquiátrica brasileira, enfocando aspectos das ações de base territorial e comunitária; foi destacado o caráter prático da residência para os sujeitos envolvidos nesta formação. Há explicitamente uma ênfase da autonomia para realizar a formação na residência, propositiva para o exercício da corresponsabilização desta, confluindo para a construção de movimentos importantes dos egressos em seus cenários de prática; há reconhecimento dos egressos quanto ao suporte organizacional do gestor imediato atual a partir da autonomia, encorajamento para inovação no trabalho, valorização, capacidade de diálogo permanente, participação na tomada de decisões e planejamento, entre outras. Na mesma direção, a incursão de sujeitos transformadores e instituintes, como sujeitos críticos, foi evidenciada, destacando-se, a proposição de modificações/transformações na organização do trabalho, a partir da formação pela residência. Assim, foram apontadas, as transformações operadas pelos sujeitos egressos do programa, na organização do trabalho e na clínica da atenção psicossocial, sob a ótica dos sujeitos da práxis, indicando a existência de práticas instituintes, que tem quebrado a estrutura de práticas enrijecidas e opressoras dos serviços de saúde mental.

BackgroundWhen exclusive breastfeeding is not possible, partially hydrolyzed formula (PHF) is often used as a starter formula for infants. Some children develop allergic symptoms, including anaphylaxis, after the first intake of cow protein. Therefore, the tolerability of PHF in infants with cow's milk allergy (CMA) is important information. Partially hydrolyzed whey formula (PHWF) is well characterized, but those containing both whey and casein are also available. We evaluated the characteristics of two whey and casein PHFs, PHF1 and PHF2, in vitro and ex vivo, and compared them with a PHWF, PHWF1.MethodsResidual antigenicity of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) and casein in the formulas was measured using ELISA. The molecular weight profile was determined using high-pressure liquid chromatography. IgE reactivity and allergenic activity of the formulas were evaluated by ImmunoCAP inhibition assay and by basophil activation test using blood from patients with CMA, respectively.ResultsAll the participants (n = 10) had casein-specific IgE. The antigenicity of β-LG in PHF1 was similar to that in PHWF1, but it was slightly higher than that in PHWF1 for casein. PHF1 had a higher IgE reactivity than PHWF1. However, PHF1 and PHWF1 had a similar ability to activate basophils. PHF2 had lower antigenicity of casein and β-LG, IgE reactivity and basophil activation than PHWF1.ConclusionThese results suggest that the tolerability of PHF1 and PHF2 in patients with CMA is similar to and higher than that of PHWF1, respectively, and that the degree of IgE binding to PHFs does not necessarily correspond to basophil activation.

Published: July 2023

BackgroundPeople who experience severe and multiple disadvantage (SMD — including combinations of homelessness, substance misuse, violence and abuse, and poor mental health) have high health need and poor access to primary care. Access to care requires the ‘human fit’ between the patient and healthcare staff.AimThis study aimed to co-produce service improvements in primary care to improve access for and with people with SMD and explore the perceptions of professionals and people with lived experience who contributed to these service improvements.MethodBridging Gaps is a collaboration between healthcare staff, women with lived experience, and a charity that supports them. We used a co-production approach, where people with lived experience are involved in decision-making throughout the process. A thematic analysis was performed of 12 observed collaborative service-improvement meetings, feedback from 3 GP trainees involved and interviews with 14 professional and lived experience collaborators on the project.ResultsCo-produced outcomes included a clinic designed for and with people with SMD; two Inclusion Health Care Coordinators, and a document for people with SMD to share information with their practice. Key themes from the data included protecting resource to enable cultural shift to proactive relationship-based care; and the benefits to marginalised patients, services, and professionals of having collaborative space to develop positive changes.ConclusionCo-produced service-improvements to improve access to primary care for marginalised patients were valued, possible, and of benefit to patients, staff, and services. This study offers valuable insight into how we can better include and care for marginalised patients in primary care.
