Evaluation of agricultural wetland utilization and landscape design
Authors: Gu Wanli , Jiang Yang 
Published: September 2023

AbstractWater is an important component of agricultural wetlands, and human activities have disrupted the water cycle and its related functions, leading to problems such as water scarcity, water pollution, and wetland degradation. As an important water source conservation area and ecosystem, agricultural wetlands not only help maintain the sustainable use of water resources but also help improve the efficiency and quality of agricultural production. This article first introduces the water-centered utilization of agricultural wetlands, and then proposes the challenges and problems faced by agricultural wetland water resources management, focusing on the utilization and protection of water resources. Through research and analysis, the utilization efficiency of Xixi Wetland water resources was analyzed, and the importance of water resource protection and landscape design was analyzed using the Hangzhou Xixi Wetland as an example. This article proposed corresponding landscape design strategies for different utilization methods and analyzed the water resource utilization efficiency of the Xixi Wetland in the past decade through research. Under scientific management, the water resource utilization efficiency increased by 21% compared to 10 years ago. This article focused on ‘water’ and explored the utilization and landscape design of agricultural wetlands.

Abstract

Due to climatic and hydrological changes and human activities, eutrophication and frequent outbreaks of cyanobacteria are prominent in the Jiangnan Plain basin of China. Therefore, building a suitable model to accurately predict the phosphorus concentration in surface water is of practical significance to prevent the above problems. This study built 10 models to predict the phosphorus element in the surface water of the river network in the Jiangnan Plain. The main water types in the basin include the Yangtze River, the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and the Gehu Lake. The 10 models in different datasets have been comprehensively evaluated by the prediction accuracy and interpretability of the model, and the calculation of the partial dependence diagram (PDP) and SHAP has proved that there is a transparent response relationship between phosphorus and different factors. The results show that the Yangtze River, Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and Gehu Lake are suitable for random forest, linear regression, and random forest models, respectively, under the comprehensive evaluation of the prediction accuracy and interpretability of the model. Models with low prediction accuracy often show strong interpretability. In different water body types, turbidity, water temperature, and chlorophyll-a are the three factors that affect the model in predicting phosphorus.
Digital Microlearning for Training and Competency Development of Older Adult Care Personnel: Mixed Methods Intervention Study to Assess Needs, Effectiveness, and Areas of Application

Published: September 2023

Background
Older adult care organizations face challenges today due to high personnel turnover and pandemic-related obstacles in conducting training and competence development programs in a time-sensitive and fit-for-purpose manner. Digital microlearning is a method that attempts to meet these challenges by more quickly adapting to the educational needs of organizations and individual employees in terms of time, place, urgency, and retention capacity more than the traditional competency development methods.

Objective
This study aimed to determine if and how an app-based digital microlearning intervention can meet older adult care organizations’ personnel competency development needs in terms of knowledge retention and work performance.

Methods
This study assessed the use of a digital microlearning app, which was at the testing stage in the design thinking model among managerial (n=4) and operational (n=22) employees within 3 older adult care organizations. The app was used to conduct predetermined competency development courses for the staff. Baseline measurements included participants’ previous training and competency development methods and participation, as well as perceived needs in terms of time, design, and channel. They then were introduced to and used a digital microlearning app to conduct 2 courses on one or more digital devices, schedules, and locations of their own choice during a period of ~1 month. The digital app and course content, perceived knowledge retention, and work performance and satisfaction were individually assessed via survey upon completion. The survey was complemented with 4 semistructured focus group interviews, which allowed participants (in total 16 individuals: 6 managerial-administrative employees and 10 operational employees) to describe their experiences with the app and its potential usefulness within their organizations.

Results
The proposed advantages of the digital microlearning app were largely confirmed by the participants’ perceptions, particularly regarding the ease of use and accessibility, and efficiency and timeliness of knowledge delivery. Assessments were more positive among younger or less experienced employees with more diverse backgrounds. Participants expressed a positive inclination toward using the app, and suggestions provided regarding its potential development and broader use suggested a positive view of digitalization in general.

Conclusions
Our results show that app-based digital microlearning appears to be an appropriate new method for providing personnel competency development within the older adult care setting. Its implementation in a larger sample can potentially provide more detailed insights regarding its intended effects.

Published: September 2023

Background
Spouses and significant others (SSOs) of public safety personnel (PSP) are affected by the risks and requirements of these occupations. Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) provides a convenient and accessible treatment format that can be tailored to the needs of SSOs of PSP.

Objective
This study aimed to assess the initial use and client perceptions (eg, likes, helpfulness, and areas for improvement) of a self-guided, transdiagnostic ICBT course designed for Canadian SSOs of PSP and identify opportunities to further tailor ICBT for this group.

Methods
SSOs were invited to complete a 5-lesson, self-guided, transdiagnostic ICBT course. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the demographic and clinical characteristics of participants. Content analysis was used to analyze the data from open-ended survey responses and interviews to understand their experiences with ICBT.

Results
Clients (N=118) endorsed various mental health concerns (eg, depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and relationship concerns) with a range of severity levels. Most clients identified as White (110/116, 94.8%) and women (108/116, 91.5%), with a mean age of 42.03 (SD 9.36) years. Of the 26 clients who were interviewed, 89% (23/26) reported believing that ICBT is helpful and 92% (24/26) reported finding at least 1 skill helpful. Clients provided suggestions for course improvements. On the basis of this feedback and quantitative data, changes were made to areas such as the delivery of materials, content, case stories, and timelines. Overall, the results indicated that many SSOs of PSP had positive perceptions of ICBT tailored to their needs and found several aspects of the course helpful, supporting the continued delivery of tailored ICBT to this population. However, there remains a need for continued promotion of the course and outreach to diverse groups of SSOs of PSP.

Conclusions
Findings from this formative evaluation provide insight into the unique experiences and needs of SSOs of PSP and provide preliminary evidence for the use of tailored ICBT to support the mental health of this group in Canada.
Impacto psicológico de la pandemia por COVID-19 en personas mayores
Authors: Espino-Polanco A.C. 
Published: September 2023

Es común que el cuidado se enfoque en las enfermedades físicas porque los datos objetivos pueden observarse fácilmente comparándolos con la subjetividad de los trastornos mentales. Aunado a esto, las personas mayores son uno de los grupos vulnerables con alto riesgo de desarrollar alguno de estos trastornos.
Encontramos personas mayores vulnerables, y el aislamiento por la pandemia lo acentúo dando como resultado que su salud mental se debilitara; sentirse solos, ansiosos, deprimidos con consecuencias como la presencia de síndromes geriátricos ( fragilidad, caídas, sarcopenia, déficits sensoriales, síndrome confusional o trastornos neurocognitivos mayores, entre otros) que afectan aún más la calidad de vida.
Para que exista una adecuada evolución en su salud mental, es considerar el compromiso de la familia como el de la comunidad. Así como geriatrizar los servicios de salud en donde, quienes conforman el equipo de atención, sean conscientes y sensibles de las necesidades de las personas mayores en todos los aspectos.

Many people living with diabetes also have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is involved in both diseases, interacting with both membrane-bound (classical) and circulating (trans-signaling) soluble receptors. We investigated whether secretion of IL-6 trans-signaling coreceptors are altered in NAFLD by diabetes and whether this might associate with the severity of fatty liver disease. Secretion patterns were investigated with use of human hepatocyte, stellate, and monocyte cell lines. Associations with liver pathology were investigated in two patient cohorts: 1) biopsy-confirmed steatohepatitis and 2) class 3 obesity. We found that exposure of stellate cells to high glucose and palmitate increased IL-6 and soluble gp130 (sgp130) secretion. In line with this, plasma sgp130 in both patient cohorts positively correlated with HbA1c, and subjects with diabetes had higher circulating levels of IL-6 and trans-signaling coreceptors. Plasma sgp130 strongly correlated with liver stiffness and was significantly increased in subjects with F4 fibrosis stage. Monocyte activation was associated with reduced sIL-6R secretion. These data suggest that hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia can directly impact IL-6 trans-signaling and that this may be linked to enhanced severity of NAFLD in patients with concomitant diabetes.

Article Highlights
IL-6 and its circulating coreceptor sgp130 are increased in people with fatty liver disease and steatohepatitis. High glucose and lipids stimulated IL-6 and sgp130 secretion from hepatic stellate cells. sgp130 levels correlated with HbA1c, and diabetes concurrent with steatohepatitis further increased circulating levels of all IL-6 trans-signaling mediators. Circulating sgp130 positively correlated with liver stiffness and hepatic fibrosis. Metabolic stress to liver associated with fatty liver disease might shift the balance of IL-6 classical versus trans-signaling, promoting liver fibrosis that is accelerated by diabetes.
The connection between assessment and learning outcomes
Authors: Bara Enkelejda , Bara Gëzim 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Introduction: When learning outcomes are written, it is important that they are written in a way that they can be assessed. Clearly, it is necessary to have some form of assessment tool or technique to determine the extent to which learning outcomes have been achieved. The challenge for teachers is to ensure that there is alignment between teaching methods, assessment techniques, assessment criteria and learning outcomes. This link between teaching, assessment and learning outcomes helps to make the overall learning experience more transparent.
Purpose: To describe assessment techniques and see if there is an alignment between teaching methods, assessment techniques, assessment criteria and learning outcomes.
Materials and methods: Analysis of assessment techniques used by teachers at “Isa Boletini” secondary school, Tirana. Two aspects were used to carry out the research: student survey and teacher survey (interview). These surveys aimed to see if students are helped to understand how they should achieve learning outcomes and how clearly the assessment techniques and assessment criteria are defined by the teacher.
Results: From the analysis of gender data, (45%) were male and (55%) were female. The age group surveyed is 16-18 years old. 100 students participated in the study. The analysis of the students’ survey shows that the answers given by them state that teachers use diverse methods during teaching and do not stick strictly to traditional teaching. The analysis of the teachers’ survey shows that they find it difficult to coordinate or align teaching methods, assessment techniques, assessment criteria and learning outcomes, since most students are not interested during the lesson, they do not have cooperation with each other, or the spirit of group work, thus making it difficult to increase the performance of the students and their maximum involvement during the teaching process.
Conclusion: The use of appropriate teaching and assessment strategies leads to more accurate and clear learning outcomes. The quality of teaching increases when students can interact with teachers and teachers show genuine interest in solving their problems.

Abstract
Obesity and overweight are the major risk factors for numerous chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease and stroke, which are the leading causes of death worldwide. The prevalence of obesity has dramatically risen in both developed and developing countries, making it a significant public health concern and a global crisis. Despite lifestyle modifications being the first-line treatment, the high risk of relapse has led to a growing interest in non-invasive pharmacotherapeutic interventions to achieve and maintain weight loss and reverse the growth of the obesity epidemic. Cardiovascular diseases and cancer account for the highest mortality rates among other comorbidities associated with obesity and overweight. Excess and abnormally deposited adipose tissue secretes various inflammatory mediators, leading to cardiovascular diseases and cancers. Weight loss of 5–10% significantly reduces cardiometabolic risk. Medications currently approved in the USA for long-term management of obesity are orlistat, naltrexone, bupropion, phentermine/topiramate, and Glucagon Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists such as liraglutide and semaglutide. The benefit-to-risk of medications, comorbidities, and individual responses should guide the treatment decisions. The article provides a comprehensive overview and discussion of several weight loss medications used previously and currently, including their efficacy, mechanisms of action, and side effects.
Ist der Staat der bessere Arbeitgeber?
Authors: Prümer Stephanie , Schnabel Claus 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
A comparison of working conditions in the public and private sectors shows that working time regulations in the public sector are more employee-friendly and that the protection of the workforce through collective agreements and co-determination is more comprehensive. However, in terms of wages, the public sector only offers advantages for women, while men are better off in the private sector. In order to persist in the growing competition for employees, the public sector should emphasise more strongly its importance as an employer, further boost its attractiveness for employees, and reinforce its attempts to retain employees.

Zuwanderung in akademischen MINT-Berufen – zunehmende Bedeutung und erste Erfolge
Authors: Plünnecke Axel 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
More STEM graduates are needed to meet the challenges of demography, decarbonisation, digitalisation and deglobalisation. However, the domestic supply threatens to decline, making immigration even more important. Over the past decade, there has been a significant increase in the proportion of foreign workers in academic STEM professions, particularly individuals from third countries like India. Particularly in southern Germany, the share of foreigners in engineering employment has risen; less so in eastern Germany. However, there are also initial successes in the east, for example in the Ilm district, the proportion of foreigners rose sharply due to international companies and the Technical University. To attract more immigrants in STEM, the immigration process should be accelerated and international students at universities should be supported and encouraged to stay in Germany.
