BackgroundNurses face high levels of stress and work demands, which can affect their work engagement and psychological well-being. Resilience and self-efficacy have been identified as important resources to improve nurses’ adaptation and work engagement.ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between resilience and stress on work engagement in Peruvian nurses.MethodsA cross-sectional design was used, and data were collected from a sample of 459 nurses. Self-report questionnaires were administered to measure self-efficacy, resilience, stress, and work engagement. SEM analyses were performed to examine the relationship between these variables, and a mediation analysis was conducted to evaluate the role of self-efficacy as a mediator in the relationship between resilience, stress, and work engagement.ResultsThe results indicated a positive relationship between resilience, self-efficacy, and work engagement, as well as a negative relationship between stress and work engagement. Additionally, self-efficacy mediated the relationship between resilience and work engagement, as well as the relationship between stress and work engagement in nurses.ConclusionPersonal resources such as self-efficacy are a key factor in the relationship between resilience (work resources), stress (work demands), and work engagement of Peruvian nurses. Strengthening self-efficacy and resilience can improve work engagement and personal satisfaction of nurses. Hospital administrators and nursing managers should consider the importance of resilience, stress, work engagement, and self-efficacy in registered nurses and develop effective strategies to improve them. This can have a positive impact on the quality of care provided to patients and on the job satisfaction of nurses.

IntroductionWomen with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) suffer heavily from emotional problems, the pathogenesis of which is believed to be related to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, autonomic nervous system (ANS) and central nervous system (CNS). We took into account all 3 aspects to observed the psychological, physiological and biochemical correlations under anger and sadness in college students with and without PMS.Methods33 students with PMS and 24 healthy students participated in the emotion induction experiment, and were required to fill out self-report scales. Their salivary cortisol (SCort), skin conductivity level (SCL), heart rate variability (HRV), blood pressure (BP) and electroencephalogram (EEG) data were collected at the resting stage and 10-15 minutes after each video.ResultsCompared to healthy controls, students with PMS showed lower SCort level and higher VLF at rest, and no statistic difference in activities of ANS and HPA axis after emotional videos, but different results in EEG in all conditions. The decreases in SBP during angry video, SCort after angry and neutral videos, and increases in θ band power during sad video were moderately correlated with increases in PMS score. No intergroup differences were found in self-report emotions.DiscussionStudents with PMS had lower activity of HPA axis and possibly higher activity of PNS at rest, and different response patterns in CNS in all conditions. Several EEG frequencies, especially θ band, in specific encephalic regions during emotional videos, as well as declined HPA activities in dealing with angry and neutral stressors, in which γ activity in frontal lobe may play a role, showed moderate correlations with more severe PMS.

IntroductionRadon is a major indoor air pollutant that poses a significant risk of lung cancer to those exposed in their homes. While mitigation of high radon levels in homes has been shown to be effective, home mitigation rates remain low. This study examines the barriers and facilitators to radon mitigation in homes from the perspectives of authorities responsible for radon risk management, the mitigation industry (contractors), and residents in four European countries (Belgium, Ireland, Slovenia, and the UK) with high radon risks and low mitigation rates.MethodsA multi-method approach was used to gather data from various stakeholders, including online surveys, content analysis of legal documents, group interviews, workshops, and focus groups.ResultsAuthorities, contractors, and residents identified various facilitators to radon mitigation, including legal requirements for mitigation, awareness campaigns, low mitigation costs, availability of financial support, accreditation of mitigation contractors, and a perception of radon as a health threat. However, barriers to mitigation were also identified, such as a lack of awareness, fragmented mitigation processes, and inadequate communication between stakeholders.DiscussionThe study highlights the complexity of the radon mitigation process and suggests that interventions aimed at increasing mitigation rates should target stakeholders beyond just residents, such as constructors, health professionals, and policy makers. An integrated approach to radon mitigation, from policy to provision, is necessary to effectively lower levels of this indoor air pollutant.
Fecal microbial transplantation as a novel therapeutic for autism spectrum disorders: a review of the current literature
Authors: Gudka Rebecca , Nyinoh Iveren Winifred 
Published: August 2023

BackgroundAutism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are complex neurobiological conditions with poor long-term outcomes and limited treatment options. The microbiota–gut–brain axis indicates a pathway by which the gut microbiota links to ASDs. Fecal microbial transplantation (FMT), whereby the gut microbiota is replaced with that of a healthy individual, shows promise for the treatment of neurobiological conditions. This review examines the current evidence for the use of FMT as a therapeutic for ASD.DiscussionASDs and their associated gastrointestinal symptoms are improved with FMT, potentially due to the engraftment of features of a healthy gut. Longer treatment regimens that include daily maintenance doses appear to be the most effective long-term therapeutic option, with benefits persisting 2 years post-intervention. Evidence is mixed regarding the use of preparatory treatments. Considering the sex bias in ASD research, small sample sizes and the lack of placebo control arms, randomized controlled trials would be of benefit to the evidence base regarding the use of FMT as a therapeutic option for ASD.ConclusionFMT is a promising new therapeutic for ASD, but the evidence base is in its infancy.

Published: August 2023

Purpose: аssessment of individual and long-term variability of birth rates in female fur seals and their impact on the population size. Method: analysis of materials of long-term reading of tags on female fur seals tagged with metal tags in 1964–1997. Novelty: for the first time, birth rates in females from the generations of 1964–1997 were calculated. throughout their entire life cycle. Results: birth rate during the life cycle in females from generations 1964–1997 was estimated, which varied from 0.5 to 3.3 pups per 1 female (including nulliparous females). Significant individual variability of birth rates was established: along with nulliparous females, there were females in generations who gave birth during their lifetime from 1 to 11 puppies. Analysis of the data showed that about a quarter of the females do not participate in reproduction; a third of females give birth to 1 puppy in the life cycle; about a third of the females give birth to 2–4 puppies. Only 8.6 % of females give birth to 5 puppies or more, however, these multiparous females give birth to more than a third of puppies (34.1 %) of the total number of puppies. The contribution to the reproduction of the population in females who gave birth to 1–3 puppies is approximately equal — they give birth to 18–20 % of puppies; it slightly decreases in females who have given birth to 4 puppies (14.5 %). Average population birth rates by years, calculated as the arithmetic mean of generations of females breeding in the corresponding years, significantly correlated with the total number of puppies born in these years (r = 0.64; p < 0.001).
Diverse Frequency Time-Modulation for Passive False Target Spoofing: Design and Experiment
Authors: Li Mengmeng , Ramaccia Davide , Toscano Alessandro , Bilotti Filiberto 
Published: August 2023

<p>This paper presents a new design of diverse frequency time-modulation for linear frequency modulated (LFM) radar passive false target spoofing. To realize the passive diverse frequency time-modulation, the modulated metasurface is designed accordingly, which is composed by a set of elements, each of which is independently time-modulated to realize specific false targets in the high-resolution range profile (HRRP) of the radar system. Thanks to the control of the modulation scheme in each element and the combined response of the overall surface, we demonstrate the capability to realize several false target patterns consisting of single and multiple targets symmetrically, or asymmetrically, distributed around the actual target. A HRRP general expression of the time modulated diverse frequency metasurface at different observation angles is given to show the relation between the generated false targets and frequency components. Since having more flexible capacity of reflected signal manipulation comparing to false target spoofing only through time modulation with consistent modulation frequency, the proposed method has enhanced performance on control of false targets at different observation angles. Both simulated and measured results demonstrate the validity of false targets manipulation, demonstrating its effectiveness as electromagnetic countermeasure for achieving radar camouflaging and deception. </p>
A KL Divergence-Based Loss for In Vivo Ultrafast Ultrasound Image Enhancement with Deep Learning
Authors: Viñals Roser , Thiran Jean-Philippe 
Published: August 2023

<p>Ultrafast ultrasound (US) imaging is a pioneering imaging modality that achieves higher frame rates than traditional US imaging, enabling the visualization and analysis of fast dynamics in tissues and flows. Nevertheless, images resulting from this technique suffer from a low-quality level. Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNN) have demonstrated great potential for reducing image artifacts and recovering speckle patterns without compromising the frame rate. As yet, CNNs have been mostly trained on large datasets of simulated or in vitro phantom images, but their performances on in vivo images remains suboptimal. In the current study, we present a method to enhance the image quality of single unfocused acquisitions by relying on a CNN. We introduce a training loss function that accounts for the high dynamic range of the radio frequency data and uses the Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence to preserve the probability distributions of the echogenicity values. We conduct an extensive performance analysis of our approach using a new large in vivo dataset of 20,000 images. The predicted images are compared qualitatively to the target images obtained from the coherent compounding of 87 plane waves (PW). The structural similarity index measure, peak signal-to-noise ratio and KL divergence are used to quantitatively analyze the performance of our method. Our results demonstrate significant improvements in image quality of single PW acquisitions, highly reducing artifacts.</p>

Keep your finger on the pulse: Better rate perception and gap detection with vibrotactile compared to visual stimuli
Authors: Villalonga Mercedes B. , Sekuler Robert 
Published: August 2023

AbstractImportant characteristics of the environment can be represented in the temporal pattern of sensory stimulation. In two experiments, we compared accuracy of temporal processing by different modalities. Experiment 1 examined binary categorization of rate for visual (V) or vibrotactile (T) stimulus pulses presented at either 4 or 6 Hz. Inter-pulse intervals were either constant or variable, perturbed by random Gaussian variates. Subjects categorized the rate of T pulse sequences more accurately than V sequences. In V conditions only, subjects disproportionately tended to mis-categorize 4-Hz pulse rates, for all but the most variable sequences. In Experiment 2, we compared gap detection thresholds across modalities, using the same V and T pulses from Experiment 1, as well as with bimodal (VT) pulses. Visual gap detection thresholds were larger (3$$\times $$
×
) than tactile thresholds. Additionally, performance with VT stimuli seemed to be nearly completely dominated by their T components. Together, these results suggest (i) that vibrotactile temporal acuity surpasses visual temporal acuity, and (ii) that vibrotactile stimulation has considerable, untapped potential to convey temporal information like that needed for eyes-free alerting signals.
