Published: August 2023

This study aims to analyze -- (Qris) with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) approach which is expanded by adding subjective norms and perceptions of security as exogenous variables. Subjective norms are hypothesized to influence intention to use, either directly or indirectly through endogenous variables in TAM. Meanwhile, the perceived security variable is hypothesized to have a direct effect. Overall the proposed hypothesis forms a research framework in the structural equation model (SEM). Empirical data was obtained through an online survey of 233 respondents who answered 23 complete questionnaire questions. The selection of respondents was determined using a purposive-non-probability sampling approach from active users of the Quick Response Indonesia Standard (Qris) at various banks in East Java whose population size is unknown.
The software used to inform that all the indicators used meet the validity and reliability criteria, the research model meets the suitability criteria. The five TAM variables and their extensions have a positive and acceptable effect on intention to use. The biggest influence of the antecedent variables on the intention to use successively is subjective norm, perceived usefulness, attitude, perceived ease of use, and the smallest is perceived security.

Detector response of 12 chlorobenzenes was investigated (mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexachlorobenzene, CBs) using flame ionization detector in a capillary gas chromatographic system. We determined the signal-reducing effect of the chlorine atom on the aromatic ring relative to the number of the chlorine substituents and expressed with the effective carbon number (ECN). Benzene was applied as a reference substance. Using the signal-modifying pattern of the chlorine atoms on the benzene's response, we developed an alternative calibration measurement method (CBs-ECN method) for the 12 CBs and compared it with classic calibration. The differences in the concentrations calculated by the two quantitative methods were under 4.5% for 11 CBs and 7% for one compound.Taking advantage of the opportunities provided by the CBs-ECN pattern it is not necessary to apply all of the 12 CBs but only one single component, the hexachlorobenzene for the calibration. With this simplification, the preparation of the calibration standards is faster, does not require purchasing all 12 CBs for each subsequent calibration, and the exposure to harm and expenses are reduced.

Molecular cloning is used in a wide variety of biological and medical research. Here, we developed a rapid and efficient DNA-assembling method for routine laboratory work. We discovered that the cleavage speed of T5 exonuclease is approximately 3 nt/min at 0°C and hence developed a T5 exonuclease–mediated low-temperature sequence- and ligation-independent cloning method (TLTC). Two homologous regions of 15 bp–25 bp compatible with the ends of the vector backbones were introduced into the inserts through PCR. Approximately 120 fmol of inserts and linear vectors was mixed at a molar ratio of approximately 3:1 and treated with 0.5 U of T5 exonuclease at 0°C for 5 min. Then, the mixture was transformed into Escherichia coli to generate recombinant plasmids. Single segment and multi-segments can be assembled efficiently using TLTC. For single segment, the overall cloning efficiency is above 95%. Moreover, extra nucleotides in the vectors can be removed during TLTC. In conclusion, an extremely simple and fast DNA cloning/assembling method was established in the present study. This method facilitates routine DNA cloning and synthesis of DNA fragments.

IntroductionAccumulating evidence suggests that increased neural responses during the anticipation of high-calorie food play an important role in the tendency to overeat. A promising method for counteracting enhanced food anticipation in overeating might be mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs). However, the neural mechanisms by which MBIs can affect food reward anticipation are unclear. In this randomized, actively controlled study, the primary objective was to investigate the effect of an 8-week mindful eating intervention on reward anticipation. We hypothesized that mindful eating would decrease striatal reward anticipation responses. Additionally, responses in the midbrain—from which the reward pathways originate—were explored.MethodsUsing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we tested 58 healthy participants with a wide body mass index range (BMI: 19–35 kg/m2), motivated to change their eating behavior. During scanning they performed an incentive delay task, measuring neural reward anticipation responses to caloric and monetary cues before and after 8 weeks of mindful eating or educational cooking (active control).ResultsCompared with the educational cooking intervention, mindful eating affected neural reward anticipation responses, with reduced caloric relative to monetary reward responses. This effect was, however, not seen in the striatum, but only in the midbrain. The secondary objective was to assess temporary and long-lasting (1 year follow-up) intervention effects on self-reported eating behavior and anthropometric measures [BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-hip-ratio (WHR)]. We did not observe effects of the mindful eating intervention on eating behavior. Instead, the control intervention showed temporary beneficial effects on BMI, waist circumference, and diet quality, but not on WHR or self-reported eating behavior, as well as long-lasting increases in knowledge about healthy eating.DiscussionThese results suggest that an 8-week mindful eating intervention may have decreased the relative salience of food cues by affecting midbrain but not striatal reward responses, without necessarily affecting regular eating behavior. However, these exploratory results should be verified in confirmatory research.The primary and secondary objectives of the study were registered in the Dutch Trial Register (NTR): NL4923 (NTR5025).

Published: August 2023

IntroductionRainfall events can determine a cascade of plant physiological and ecological processes, and there is considerable interest in the way that rainfall modifies plant water flux dynamics.MethodsThe sap flow density (SF) of the planted species of Vitex negundo and Hippophae rhamnoides, on the Loess Plateau of China was monitored using the heat balance method from 2015 to 2017.Results and discussionThe results showed that SF responded differently to rainfall classes because of the changing meteorological and soil water content (SWC) conditions. For class 1: 0.2–2 mm, SF increased by 14.36–42.93% for the two species, which were mainly attributable to the effect of solar radiation and vapor pressure deficit after rainfall. For class 2: 2–10 mm, SF remained nearly stable for V. negundo and decreased for H. rhamnoides because of the relative humidity’s effect. For class 3: &gt; 10 mm, SF increased significantly because of increased SWC and the increasing response to solar radiation. The increased percentage of SF was relatively higher for V. negundo when rainfall was less than 20 mm, while the value was higher for H. rhamnoides when rainfall was greater than 10 mm. Further, V. negundo’s water potential increased at the soil–root interface (ψ0) and ψL, indicating that the plant, which has shallower roots and a coarser of leaf and bark texture, considered as anisohydric species and used precipitation-derived upper soil water to survive. The relatively consistent ψL and ψ0 for H. rhamnoides, which has deep roots and leathery leaves, indicated that this species was considered as isohydric species and insensitive to the slight change in the soil water status. The differed response patter and water use strategies between the two species showed that species as V. negundo are more susceptible to frequent, but small rainfall events, while larger, but less frequent rainfall events benefit such species as H. rhamnoides. This study quantified the effect of environmental factors for SF variation. The results could help formulate a selection process to determine which species are more suitable for sustainable management in the afforestation activities under the context of more frequent and intense rainfall events.

Published: August 2023

IntroductionThe current research explores the association between political views, combat experiences, and the adaptation of soldiers to post-service life. Violent experiences in military service were explored as contributors to both positive and negative dimensions of adaptation, while political views served as possible mediators.MethodsThree hundred and twenty Israeli veterans participated in the study.ResultsPolitical views were correlated with adaptation, especially left-to-right voting and anti-militarism. The results support the mediating role of political beliefs (left–right voting and militarism) in the relationship between combat experience and adaptation to post-service life.DiscussionWe contend that political perceptions affect adaptation through sense-making of the combat experiences and the individual processing of these experiences, and the willingness to continue in reserve service, which allows social support and recognition. In addition, they are linked to a sense of bitterness following the reduction of public participation in military and reserve service.

Published: August 2023

BackgroundIn 2020, Attend Anywhere video consultation service was introduced across the Irish public health service to facilitate the provision of health interventions remotely in light of COVID-19-related restrictions. This study aims to explore the experiences of young people, their parents and their clinicians, of using the newly introduced Attend Anywhere video consultation as part of their Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS).MethodA cross-section of twenty-nine young people, their parents and clinicians working in CAMHS Clare completed a survey pertaining to their experiences of using Attend Anywhere as part of their service. A cross-disciplinary research steering group of CAMHS clinicians adapted the NHS Scotland evaluation of Attend Anywhere / Near Me survey to better capture experiences in a CAMHS setting. The survey included both quantitative and qualitative items. Descriptive statistics were used to examine quantitative data. Qualitative data was analysed using Thematic Analysis.Results/FindingsResults demonstrated a decrease in the number of barriers reported by clients and professionals in accessing the CAMH service following the introduction of Attend Anywhere video consultation. Overall, the majority of professionals reported that they would use Attend Anywhere again, whereas almost a quarter of clients reported that they did not wish to use it again. Clients indicated a preference for receiving face-to-face services over other service provision options and this finding was associated with not having to rely on technology or manage connectivity issues and finding it easier to build the therapeutic relationship in-person.ConclusionFindings suggest that both professionals and clients value face-to-face service provision while also acknowledging the benefits of Video Enabled Care in overcoming access barriers. We conclude that VEC be offered as an option in a blended service model, in conjunction with rather than as a replacement of face-to-face service provision.

Published: August 2023

IntroductionPromoting sustainable crop production is enhanced by an effective method to assess soil health. However, soil health assessment is challenging due to multiple interactions among dynamic soil properties (i.e., soil health indicators) across management practices and agroecological regions. We tested several currently popular soil health assessment methods for cropping systems in Tennessee in the southeastern US and found that these methods failed to differentiate Tennessee soil health under long-term conservation and conventional management.Materials and methodsThis study developed a Tennessee weighted soil health index (WSHI) by: 1) selecting a set of management-sensitive soil health indicators, 2) assigning meaningful weights to indicators, and 3) normalizing the scores based on regionally relevant undisturbed natural reference sites. The tested cropping systems treatments were moldboard plow (MP) in continuous soybean (SS), no tillage (NT) in SS, NT with wheat cover (NTW) in SS, no cover and chisel plow (NCCT) in continuous cotton (CC), no cover and no tillage (NCNT) in CC, and hairy vetch cover and no tillage (VCNT) in CC. In addition, two woodlots and one grassland sites in the vicinity of the cropping systems were selected to represent undisturbed natural systems.Results and discussionOut of 22 indicators that proved to be management-sensitive, six were selected as a minimum dataset (MDS). These were particulate organic matter C (POM-C), soil respiration from 4-day incubation (4d CO2), small macroaggregate (0.250-2mm)-associated C (SMA-C), surface hardness (PR15), microbial biomass N (MBN), and bulk density (BD). Measured values of the MDS indicators were transformed into unitless normalized scores (based on the regional range of the indicator), and finally integrated into WSHI scores using a weighted-addition approach. Additionally, the soil health gap (SHG) between the soil health of the regional reference system and different cropping systems was calculated. Results revealed that WSHI strongly differentiated soil health between long-term conservation and conventional managements practices. The WSHI scores for southeastern cropland soils varied as follows: VCNT = NTW &gt; NT &gt; NCNT ≥ NCCT ≥ MP. The SHGs under MP, NCCT, NCNT, NT, NTW, and VCNT were 85.5, 79.9, 68, 45.1, 25.2, and 24.3, respectively, relative to the average WSHI of three undisturbed systems. Results showed that the WSHI approach is effective in more meaningful regional assessment of soil health and SHG can be a potential metric for comparing soil health across agroecological regions.

Published: August 2023

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a percutaneous endoscopic debridement and drainage for lumbar infections with early epidural abscesses.MethodsEight cases of early epidural abscess underwent lumbar intervertebral space debridement and drainage by percutaneous endoscopic. Laboratory indicators, pathogenic microorganisms and complications were documented, and the ASIA scores were used to assess preoperative and postoperative neurological function changes. Additionally, the VAS was used to evaluate the therapeutic effect.ResultsThe average duration of the drainage tube was 11.25 ± 3.96 days (7–20 days), and the epidural abscess was eliminated after the tube was taken out. Postoperative CRP (14.40 ± 12.50 mg/L) and ESR (48.37 ± 16.05 mm/1 h) were significantly lower than the preoperative CRP (62.5 ± 61.1 mg/L) and ESR (75.30 ± 26.20 mm/1 h). The VAS score after the operation (2.50 ± 0.92 points) was significantly lower than the one before the surgery (8.25 ± 0.83 points). 5 patients experienced lower extremity pain and neurological dysfunction prior to surgery, however, after drainage, the lower extremity pain dissipated and the lower extremity muscle strength improved in one patient. All 8 patients were followed up for a period of (28.13 ± 10.15) months, including 3 patients with spinal segmental instability who had lumbar bone graft and internal fixation for the second stage. At the end of the follow-up, all 8 patients were clinically cured without any progressive nerve injury, paraplegia or recurrence of infection.ConclusionPercutaneous Endoscopic Debridement and Drainage is an effective way to drain intraspinal abscesses, thus avoiding any potential progressive harm to the spinal cord.
MEDICINAL PLANTS OF THE AQUATIC FLORA OF THE POLTAVA CITY AND SURROUNDING AREA
Authors: Klepets O. 
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the generalization of literary data on the medicinal properties of plants of aquatic flora of the territory of the Poltava city and its surroundings, studied in the course of original research. From the compiled floristic list, a spectrum of medicinal plants was selected, their degree of introduction into medical practice, belonging to protected lists, frequency of occurrence in the study area was analyzed. It was established that 45 (78%) of the 58 species of vascular plants have medicinal properties, including 4 species are officinal, 18 species are folk medicine plants, 23 species are promising for use in pharmacy. For each species, an annotation of its medicinal properties is compiled, which indicates the type of medicinal raw materials and medicinal forms, chemical composition, directions and mechanisms of physiological action on the human body, indications for the use of medicinal preparations.
It was found that, despite the high participation of medicinal plants in the aquatic flora of the Poltava city and its surroundings, their harvesting in the research area is not appropriate for various reasons: official species (Acorus calamus, Iris pseudacorus, Nuphar lutea, Nymphaea alba) – because of their limited distribution, belonging to various protection lists, and as for mass anthropotolerant species, promising for use in pharmacy (in particular, Ceratophyllum demersum, Lemna minor, Phragmites australis, Typha angustifolia, T. latifolia), their use is limited due to the ability to accumulate harmful substances from polluted ecotopes in urban territory.
The compromise solutions for harvesting valuable species of medicinal plants that have a limited distribution in nature or grow in polluted ecotopes can be introduction (artificial cultivation of plants ex situ) and biotechnology (cultivation of cells, tissues and organs isolated from the plant on artificial nutrient media in vitro, which allow obtaining a specific target product).

Authors: Irkliienko V. , Lobach L. 
Published: August 2023

The article highlights the issue of future music teacher piano training in a higher education institution. It has been established that its essential aspect is taking into account the scientific foundations of the process of learning to play the piano and using the repertoire of Ukrainian composers of the past, Poltava artist S. A. Shevchenko in particular.
It has been determined that S. A. Shevchenko’s piano works should be included in individual educational programs for students with different levels of basic instrumental training. Thus, the works from the collection “Piano Pieces” have an accessible texture (“The Clock”, “The Golden Pipe”, “Evening”, “Spring Day”, “Fun”, etc.), bright dynamics (“Spring Day”), folk sources (“Song”), and fiery character (“Tarantella”) and provide an opportunity to enrich students’ repertoire with an initial level of instrument mastery. The undisputed pinnacle of the composer’s piano legacy should be considered the Concerto for Piano with the orchestra in c-moll in 3 parts, presented by the author in piano form, which can be offered to students with a high level of training.
The article analyzes the scientific foundations of the piano learning process developed by S. A. Shevchenko. In his writings, issues of the development of the pianist’s motility, finger mobility, sound production, work on passages, the author's method of performing scales, etc. are revealed.
It is proved that S. A. Shevchenko’s scientific and creative heritage has a didactic orientation and can be used in the modern process of future music teacher piano training in order to improve it and popularize the work of Ukrainian composers.
