Published: February 2023

BackgroundTo promote and ensure coaches' fidelity in delivering an online health coaching program to parents of children with suspected developmental delay, we developed and implemented a novel coaching fidelity rating tool, CO-FIDEL (COaches Fidelity in Intervention DELivery). We aimed to (1) Demonstrate CO-FIDEL's feasibility in evaluating coaches' fidelity and its change over time; and (2) Explore coaches' satisfaction with and usefulness of the tool.MethodsIn an observational study design, coaches (n = 4) were assessed using the CO-FIDEL following each coaching session (n = 13–14 sessions/parent-participant) during the pilot phase of a large randomized clinical trial involving eleven (n = 11) parent-participants. Outcome measures included subsections' fidelity measures, overall coaching fidelity, and coaching fidelity changes over time analyzed using descriptive and non-parametric statistics. In addition, using a four-point Likert Scale and open-ended questions, coaches were surveyed on their satisfaction and preference levels, as well as facilitators, barriers, and impacts related to the use of CO-FIDEL. These were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis.ResultsOne hundred and thirty-nine (n = 139) coaching sessions were evaluated with the CO-FIDEL. On average, overall fidelity was high (88.0 ± 6.3 to 99.5 ± 0.8%). Four coaching sessions were needed to achieve and maintain a ≥ 85.0% fidelity in all four sections of the tool. Two coaches showed significant improvements in their coaching skills over time in some of the CO-FIDEL sections (Coach B/Section 1/between parent-participant B1 and B3: 89.9 ± 4.6 vs. 98.5 ± 2.6, Z = −2.74, p = 0.00596; Coach C/Section 4/between parent-participant C1 and C2: 82.4 ± 7.5 vs. 89.1 ± 4.1, Z = −2.66; p = 0.00758), and in overall fidelity (Coach C, between parent-participant C1 and C2: 88.67 ± 6.32 vs. 94.53 ± 1.23, Z = −2.66; p = 0. 00758). Coaches mainly reported moderate-high satisfaction with and usefulness of the tool, and pointed out areas of improvement (e.g., ceiling effect, missing elements).ConclusionsA new tool ascertaining coaches' fidelity was developed, applied, and shown to be feasible. Future research should address the identified challenges and examine the psychometric properties of the CO-FIDEL.

BackgroundFor individuals who face challenges accessing clinic-based HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), differentiated service delivery models are needed to expand access and reach. During a pilot study testing a novel pharmacy-delivered oral PrEP model in Kenya, we used routine programmatic data to identify early implementation barriers and actions that providers and study staff took in response to the barriers.MethodsWe trained pharmacy providers at five private pharmacies in Kisumu and Kiambu Counties to initiate and continue clients at risk of HIV acquisition on PrEP for a fee of 300 KES per visit (∼$3 USD) using a prescribing checklist with remote clinician oversight. Research assistants stationed at the pharmacies completed weekly observation reports of pharmacy-delivered PrEP services using a structured template. We analyzed reports from the first 6 month of implementation using content analysis and identified multi-level early implementation barriers and actions taken to address these. We then organized the identified barriers and actions according to the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).ResultsFrom November 2020 to May 2021, research assistants completed 74 observation reports (∼18/pharmacy). During this period, pharmacy providers screened 496 potential PrEP clients, identified 425 as eligible for pharmacy-delivered PrEP services, and initiated 230 (54%) on PrEP; 125 of 197 (63%) clients eligible for PrEP continuation refilled PrEP. We identified the following early implementation barriers to pharmacy-delivered PrEP services (by CFIR domain): high costs to clients (intervention characteristics), client discomfort discussing sexual behaviors and HIV testing with providers (outer setting), provider frustrations that PrEP delivery was time-consuming and disruptive to their workflow (inner setting), and provider hesitancy to deliver PrEP due to concerns about encouraging sexual promiscuity (characteristics of individuals). To help address these, pharmacy providers implemented a self-screening option for behavioral HIV risk assessment for prospective PrEP clients, allowed flexible appointment scheduling, and conducted pharmacy PrEP trainings for newly hired staff.ConclusionOur study provides insight into early barriers to implementing pharmacy-delivered PrEP services in Kenya and potential actions to mitigate these barriers. It also demonstrates how routine programmatic data can be used to understand the early implementation process.

Published: February 2023

BackgroundMore elderly patients undergo coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) than younger patients. Whether tranexamic acid (TA) is still effective and safe in elderly patients undergoing CABG surgeries is still unclear.MethodsIn this study, a cohort of 7,224 patients ≥70 years undergoing CABG surgery were included. Patients were categorized into the no TA group, TA group, high-dose group, and low-dose group according whether TA was administered and the dose administered. The primary endpoint was blood loss and blood transfusion after CABG. The secondary endpoints were thromboembolic events and in-hospital death.ResultsThe blood loss at 24 and 48 h and the total blood loss after surgery in patients in the TA group were 90, 90, and 190 ml less than those in the no-TA group, respectively (p &lt; 0.0001). The total blood transfusion was reduced 0.38-fold with TA administration compared to that without TA (OR = 0.62, 95% CI 0.56–0.68, p &lt; 0.0001). Blood component transfusion was also reduced. High-dose TA administration reduced the blood loss by 20 ml 24 h after surgery (p = 0.032) but had no relationship with the blood transfusion. TA increased the risk of perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) by 1.62-fold [p = 0.003, OR = 1.62, 95% CI (1.18–2.22)] but reduced the hospital stay time in patients who were administered TA compared to that of patients who did not receive TA (p = 0.026).ConclusionWe revealed that elderly patients undergoing CABG surgeries had better hemostasis after TA administration but increased the risk of PMI. High-dose TA was effective and safe compared with low-dose TA administration in elderly patients undergoing CABG surgery.

IntroductionHigh-quality meat is one of the consumer demands. Therefore, several studies have concluded that supplementing broilers with natural additives can improve meat quality. This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of nano-emulsified plant oil (Magic oil®) and probiotic (Albovit®) as water additives (at the rate of 1 ml/L and 0.1 g/L, respectively) during different growing periods on processing characteristics, physicochemical properties, and meat quality traits of broilers chickens.MethodsA total number of 432-day-old Ross broiler chicks were randomly assigned to one of six treatment groups according to the growing periods in which magic oil and probiotics were added to drinking water, each with nine replicates and eight birds per replicate (4♂ and 4♀). On day 35, birds' processing characteristics, physicochemical properties, and meat quality traits were examined.Results and discussionThe results showed that treatments had a significant (P &lt; 0.001) impact on cooking loss, cohesiveness, and chewiness. The male broiler chickens had higher (P ≤ 0.05) initial lightness, initial whiteness index, water holding capacity, shear force, live weight, hot and chilled carcass weights, as well as lower gizzard and neck percentages than females. The interactions between treatments and sex showed a significant (P &lt; 0.001) impact on cooking loss, shear force, hardness, springiness, and chewiness. In conclusion, supplementing male broiler chickens with Magic oil and probiotic, particularly from 0–30 days of age had favorable meat chewiness as a result of lower cohesiveness and hardness higher springiness, and the most convenient cooking loss value. Magic oil and probiotic, especially in males, is advisable to be supplemented in water of growing broilers chicken programs from 0 to 30 days of age. Moreover, further studies under commercial conditions are recommended to locate the most favorable combination of Magic oil/probiotic supplements for the best processing characteristics and meat quality attributes outcomes.
Different Responses to Adventitious Rhizogenesis under Indole-3-Butyric Acid and Seaweed Extracts in Ornamental’s Cuttings: First Results in Photinia x fraseri ‘Red Robin’

Published: February 2023

Fraser’s photinia ‘Red Robin’ (Photinia x fraseri Dress, Rosaceae family) is an important primary ornamental landscaping species with optimal hedge or screen effects and low maintenance, but it is difficult to root when propagated by cuttings, although high concentrations of phytohormones are used to optimize rhizogenesis. To our knowledge, there is currently no feasible enhanced method for photinia vegetative propagation through stem cuttings, using seaweed extract-based biostimulants as root promoters. Given the economic importance of the species, this research aims to assess the effects of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and seaweed extract-based stimulators on the quality of photinia ‘Red Robin’ cuttings, in terms of rooting indicators and ground and aboveground agronomic features. The treatments applied were different concentrations of commercial rooting stimulators compared to an untreated control: C0: distilled water; Rhizopon AA: 1% IBA (R1); Kelpak®: 2 mL L−1 (K2); Kelpak®: 3 mL L−1 (K3); Goteo®: 2 mL L−1 (G2); Goteo®: 3 mL L−1 (G3). The first results showed different responses to adventitious rhizogenesis under IBA and both seaweed extract treatments. At 70 DAC (days after cutting), the seaweed extract stimulated the production of over 80% of cuttings with callus; at 240 DAC, the percentage of rooted cuttings treated under R1 was the highest = 34.3%; the worst results were obtained by both biostimulant treatments at the highest doses: K3 = 21.3% and G3 = 20.7%. Furthermore, R1 produced 3.07 roots per cutting, which was 50% higher than the average of all other treatments. The applications of Kelpak® and Goteo® biostimulants, at both concentrations, resulted in an inhibition of root length with values below the untreated control. Rooted cuttings under R1 showed the highest ground (0.35 g) and aboveground (0.47) dry value. Neither seaweed extract, Kelpak® or Goteo®, at different concentrations, improved both the ground and above-ground weights of rooted cutting, compared to the untreated control, indicating that these natural products are not suitable for Fraser’s photinia ‘Red Robin’ propagation using this methodology. The overall quality of cuttings in IBA treatment was the strongest, with 1%, being the optimum concentration. Further research must be conducted to propose effective agronomic protocols by investigating application methods, doses and number of applications, and to clarify the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of action of these seaweed extracts.
New Insights into the Taxonomy of Malacopsylloidea Superfamily (Siphonaptera) Based on Morphological, Molecular and Phylogenetic Characterization of Phthiropsylla agenoris (Malacopsyllidae) and Polygenis (Polygenis) rimatus (Rhopalopsyllidae)
Authors: Zurita Antonio , Lareschi Marcela , Cutillas Cristina 
Published: February 2023

From a phylogenetic point of view, the Malacopsyllidae family and the Rhopalopsillidae family (comprising Parapsyllinae and Rhopalopsyllinae subfamilies) have been traditionally classified within the Malacopsylloidea superfamily, mostly restricted to South America. The phylogenetic relationships and taxonomic status of Malacopsyllidae and Rhopalopsillidae have never been assessed since no molecular loci of Malacopsyllidae have been sequenced by any authors, and the phylogeny provided so far was not based on any sort of formal quantitative analysis of flea morphology. Based on these precedents, the objective of this study was to carry out a comparative phylogenetic, molecular and morphological study of two different species belonging to each family, Phthiropsylla agenoris (Malacopsylla) and Polygenis (Polygenis) rimatus (Rhopalopsyllidae, Rhopalopsyllinae). In this study, we demonstrated the usefulness of several morphological features as diagnostic characters to differentiate between P. (P.) rimatus and P. agenoris. Using molecular and phylogenetic data, we easily discriminated between the two taxa (P. agenoris and P. (P.) rimatus) by comparing both nuclear and mitochondrial markers. This fact proves the usefulness of ITS2, EF1−α, cox1, cytb and cox2 as molecular diagnostic markers to characterize and identify different Siphonaptera taxa. Additionally, the phylogenetic results confirm, for the first time, the monophyly of the Malacopsyllidae family and suggest a clear paraphyletic position of the Paraspsyllinae subfamily and, consequently, the Rhopalopsyllidae family.

Epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) of GaN epilayers on a sapphire substrate was studied by using a laser-patterned graphene interlayer. Monolayer graphene was transferred onto the sapphire substrate using a wet transfer technique, and its quality was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. The graphene layer was ablated using a femtosecond laser, which produced well-defined patterns without damaging the underlying sapphire substrate. Different types of patterns were produced for ELO of GaN epilayers: stripe patterns were ablated along the [1¯100]sapphire and [112¯0]sapphire directions, a square island pattern was ablated additionally. The impact of the graphene pattern on GaN nucleation was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The structural quality of GaN epilayers was studied by cathodoluminescence. The investigation shows that the laser-ablated graphene can be integrated into the III-nitride growth process to improve crystal quality.
Weighted quadrature formulas for semi-infinite range integrals
Authors: Milovanović Gradimir V. 
Published: February 2023

Weighted quadrature formulas on the half line \((a,+\infty)\), \(a>0\), for non-exponentially decreasing integrands are developed. Such \(n\)-point quadrature rules are exact for all functions of the form \(x\mapsto x^{-2}P(x^{-1})\), where \(P\) is an arbitrary algebraic polynomial of degree at most \(2n-1\). In particular, quadrature formulas with respect to the weight function \(x\mapsto w(x)=x^\beta\log^m x\) (\(0\le \beta<1\), \(m\in \mathbb{N}_0\)) are considered and several numerical examples are included.

Abstract
In this work, the effects of He ion and electron beam irradiation on substrate-type CdTe solar cells that are suitable for the detection of alpha and beta radiation are investigated. He ion irradiation revealed that the induced current proportionally increased with the increase of He ion current and that it is possible to detect alpha radiation using a substrate-type CdTe solar cell dosimeter. Next, the electron irradiation effects were investigated. The induced current proportional to the electron flux was also observed, and the sensitivity depended on the electron energy. In addition, the degradation of a substrate-type CdTe solar cell dosimeter by electron beam irradiation was investigated. No significant degradation in short-circuit current was observed at the electron irradiation of 3 × 1016 cm−2 at 200 keV and 1 × 1016 cm−2 at 400 keV. This result suggests that the substrate-type CdTe solar cell dosimeter is sufficiently resistant to electron irradiation.

Authors: Fujiwara Takao , Niiyama Koji , Yin You 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
In this study, undoped Zn5Sb3Te (ZST) and N–Ti codoped ZST chalcogenides were investigated. The deposition rate of chalcogenides decreased when N and Ti were doped into ZST, caused by the low speed of reaction to form nitrides and the strong bond of Ti atoms, respectively. Surface roughness was significantly reduced to approximately one-seventh of the original value owing to the doping of N–Ti into ZST, implying high reliability. Based on X-ray diffraction and electrical measurements, the crystallization of ZST occurred after it was annealed at a high temperature between 250 °C and 300 °C, while codoping N–Ti into ZST further increased the crystallization temperature to above 300 °C. The crystallization temperature of N–Ti codoped ZST was approximately 150 °C higher than that of the conventional Ge2Sb2Te5 chalcogenide, indicating high thermal stability.
Corrosion Risk Estimation and Cause Analysis on Turbofan Engine
Authors: Lacaille Jérôme , Langhendries Raphaël 
Published: February 2023

Turbofan engine parts are subject to corrosion. This degradation is only very difficult to observe outside of engine dismantling on predefined inspection dates. On the other hand, it is necessary to go specifically to observe the impacted parts to notice this wear. This inspection process is long, expensive and rarely carried out with the aim of detecting a corrosion effect. The provision of an indicator to alert on potential corrosion and to target parts is highly anticipated. Better still, if the origin of this corrosion can be identified by numerical methods, it will then be possible to improve the calculation of the lifespan of the part and to space out engine inspections.
We offer an indicator estimating if an engine part is corroded. In addition to the alert subject to this estimate, we also offer a graphical means to interpret this detection.
Dynamic delay-dispersive UWB-Radar Targets: Modeling and Estimation
Authors: Gedschold Jonas , Semper Sebastian , Thomä Reiner , Döbereiner Michael , Del Galdo Giovanni 
Published: February 2023

<p>This publication proposes a parametric data model and a gradient-based maximum likelihood estimator suitable for the description of delay-dispersive responses of multiple dynamic UWB-radar targets. The target responses are estimated jointly with the global target parameters range and velocity.</p>
<p>The large relative bandwidth of UWB has consequences for model-based parameter estimation. On the one hand, the Doppler effect leads to a dispersive response in the Doppler spectrum and to a coupling of the target parameters which both need to be considered during modeling and estimation. On the other hand, the shape of an extended target results in a dispersive response in range which can be resolved by the radar resolution. We consider this extended response as a parameter of interest, e.g., for the purpose of target recognition. Hence, we propose an efficient description and estimation of it by an FIR structure only imposing a restriction on the target's dispersiveness in range. </p>
<p>We evaluate the approach on simulations, compare it to state of the art solutions and provide a validation on measurement data. </p>
