Objective. The work sought to determine the effect of the risk factors, fear, and concern on self-care regarding COVID- 19 in people in pre-elderly and elderly stages.
Methods. Correlational-predictive study, gathered through convenience sampling. The study applied the scale of fear of COVID-19 (Huarcaya et al.), the scale of concern about COVID-19(Ruíz et al.,), and the scale of self-care during the COVID-19 confinement (Martínez et al.,). Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied as the mediation model based on regression.
Results. The study had the participation of 333 people, with the majority being women (73.9%). Correlation was found between self-care with the scores from the scale of fear (r = -0.133, p &lt;0.05) and of concern (r = -0.141, p&lt;0.05) regarding COVID-19. The direct effect of the model wasc’ = 0.16, [95% BCa CI = -0.28, -0.09]. The standardized value for the indirect effect was estimated as c = -0.14, [95%BCa CI=-0.23,-0.09]), which shows existence of a 14.0% effect of the mediating variable on self-care conducts in the prediction model.
Conclusion. A direct effect exists of risk factors for COVID-19 complication on self-care, mediated by concern and fear, besides explaining by 14% the self-care conducts for COVID-19. Recommendation is made to address other emotional variables to consider if these increase the prediction.

Mindfulness-based programs were shown to promote relaxation, and improve work performance. We evaluated the effect of an indigenous meditation technique in the work performance of Heads of Departments (HODs) in our institute. We carried out a prospective, interventional, single centre, single blinded, randomized controlled, study to evaluate the effect of meditation technique on work performance and acceptability (among employees) of HODs working in a dedicated COVID-19 tertiary care hospital. We also recruited employees from each of the Departments for obtaining their feedback. A validated feedback evaluation questionnaire was used for assessing the outcomes at baseline, and on days 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.Twenty HODs of either gender aged between 36 to 58 Years, with atleast 5 years of experience as Heads leading the respective teams were recruited. One-hundred employees aged between 21 to 58 years reporting at least for one year reporting to those HODs were recruited. The mean (SD) feedback score of the employees in the control arm was 22.98(7.2) while in the interventional arm, it was 21.82 (6.4) and was not statistically significant (p=0.28). On all the follow-up days, the scores were significantly higher in the interventional group compared to control arm. Similarly, in the interventional group, the scores were significantly higher on all the follow-up days compared to baseline while it was not statistically significant in the control group. We observed a significant improvement in the work performance of HODs as evaluated by their respective employees through the meditation technique that consisted of breathing exercise and chanting the Studies are needed exploring the effects in different units and for long term.
African naturopathic education: Ghana’s model using competency-based curriculum
Authors: Obu Raphael Nyarkotey , Bluwey Lawrencia Aggrey 
Published: January 2023

Despite the over 62 years of Naturopathy’s existence in the Ghanaian jurisdiction, no single tertiary program in Naturopathy or Complementary and Alternative Medicine is taught. The practice has not been streamlined and properly structured. Those who engage in the Naturopathic trade mostly receive their education through correspondence from unrecognized and unaccredited foreign schools that teach a limited aspect of naturopathy. : Following the development and approval of two Naturopathic programs; The Higher National Diploma (HND) for training Naturopaths and Bachelor of Technology in Naturopathy and Holistic Medicine, a 5-year program for Naturopathic Physicians, this paper provides a critical evaluation of the curricula approved by the Commission for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (CTVET) in Ghana. This paper employs a sequential two-stage qualitative process. In phase one, the two curricula were submitted to the World Naturopathic Federation (WNF) Canada, for evaluation. Phase two involved a document analysis using the curriculum recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Naturopathic Federation (WNF), and the South African Naturopathic curriculum. An in-depth evaluation and comparison with the Ghanaian program were conducted, together with abstracted WNF responses which were then analyzed thematically. After the necessary recommendations by WNF were adopted. The two Ghanaian curricula met the international standard. The recommendations also strengthened the mandatory general area of competence in Naturopathic training. The Ghanaian Bachelor’s in Naturopathy has total clock hours of 5,979, which surpasses the South African degree in Naturopathy(5,950) clock hours. The Ghanaian naturopathic mandatory and elective subjects in the curricula meet the international standards. Issues raised by World Naturopathic Federations (WNF) were all addressed to strengthen the program.

Abstract

Biodiesel has been seen as an alternative to diesel (fossil) fuel as a result of its favourable properties, energy security reasons and environmental benefits. In this research, transesterification of sandbox seed oil with ethanol to form biodiesel has been modelled using artificial neural network (ANN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) techniques. Temperature (oC), time (min.), catalyst concentration (w/w) and catalyst type (g) were used as input variables while biodiesel yield was used as output variable for modelling the efficiency of biodiesel production from sandbox seed oil. The results showed that ANN model gave R2 of 0.925, RSME of 2.99255, MAE of 0.62196, SEP of 0.03689 and AD of 0.03194 while ANFIS model gave R2 of 0.961, RSME of 1.97379, MAE of 0.0001, SEP of 0.02433 and AD of 0.000005136. The results prove that ANFIS model is more reliable in predicting biodiesel yield from sandbox seed oil than ANN model.
Effects of Consecutive Rebound Jump Training Dependent on Muscles to which Electromyostimulation is applied
Authors: Ogiso Kazuyuki 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Background
Consecutive rebound jump (RJ) training performed while applying electromyostimulation (EMS) to the calf muscle increases muscle strength and Achilles tendon stiffness, and enhances jump performances. The present study investigated whether the effects on jumping performance of consecutive RJ training with EMS differed depending on lower limb muscles on which EMS was superimposed.
Methods
Forty-nine men who trained every other day for 4 weeks were divided into five groups: a non-EMS group and EMSCALF, EMSAF, EMSPF, and EMSTHIGH groups in which EMS was applied to the calf, anterior femoris, posterior femoris, and all thigh muscles, respectively. Participants were only instructed to perform RJs at the same spot but were not instructed on jumping action and its kinesthetic sensation.
Results
After training, the jump heights increased in all EMS-applied groups. Kinesthetic sensation and the joint angles in which maximum voluntary isometric contraction torque increased differed depending on the muscles on which EMS was superimposed during RJs. The EMSCALF group experienced a clear “bounce” sensation during jumping and increased ankle plantar flexion torque and Achilles tendon stiffness in the ankle dorsiflexion position. The body was moved backward in the EMSAF group during RJs but forward in the EMSPF group. The EMSTHIGH group felt the easiest to jump during jumping.
Conclusions
The application of EMS to lower limb muscles during RJs enhanced jumping performance, but its mechanism and effects depended on the muscles to which it was applied.

Abstract
Background: The experience of HIV stigma during intrapartum care can impact women’s trust in the health care system and undermine their long-term commitment to HIV care engagement. Delivery of respectful maternity care (RMC) to WLHIV can improve quality of life and clinical outcomes. The goal of this study is to conduct an evaluation of MAMA (Mradi wa Afya ya Mama Mzazi, Project to Support the Health of Women Giving Birth), a simulation team-training curriculum for labor and delivery providers that addresses providers’ instrumental and attitudinal stigma toward WLHIV and promotes the delivery of evidence-based RMC for WLHIV.
Methods: The MAMA intervention will be evaluated among healthcare providers across six clinics in the Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania. To evaluate the impact of MAMA, we will enroll WLHIV who give birth in the facilities before (n=103 WLHIV) and after (n=103 WLHIV) the intervention. We will examine differences in the primary outcome (perceptions of RMC) and secondary outcomes (postpartum HIV care engagement; perceptions of HIV stigma in the facility; internal HIV stigma; clinical outcomes and evidence-based practices) between women enrolled in the two time periods. Will also assess participating providers (n=60) at baseline, immediate post, 1-month post training, and 2-month post training. We will examine longitudinal changes in the primary outcome (practices of RMC) and secondary outcomes (stigma toward WLHIV; self-efficacy in delivery intrapartum care). Quality assurance data will be collected to assess intervention feasibility and acceptability.
Discussion: The implementation findings will be used to finalize the intervention for a train-the-trainer model that is scalable, and the outcomes data will be used to power a multi-site study to detect significant differences in HIV care engagement.
Trial Registration: The trial is registered at clinicaltrials.gov, NCT05271903.
A pilot randomised controlled trial to increase the sustainment of an indoor-outdoor free play program in early childhood education and care services following the introduction of outdoor free play guidelines: a study protocol for the Sustaining Play, Sustaining Health (SPSH) trial

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Background:

Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) settings are an important environment to support child physical activity (PA). Increasing the time children have outdoors is associated with increased activity levels. As such, ECEC guidelines recommend that childcare services provide indoor-outdoor free play programs (periods of free play located in both the indoor and outdoor environments) as a way to increase outdoor free play opportunities. In 2021, such recommendations were supported by COVID-19 regulations as a way of reducing the transmission of the virus and increasing social distancing, resulting in an increased uptake of this practice by ECEC services. As the context changes, research suggests that ECEC services could cease the implementation of such practices. The aims of this pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT) therefore, is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and impact of a sustainment strategy to ensure ongoing implementation (sustainment) of ECEC delivered indoor-outdoor free play programs.

Methods:

Twenty ECEC services located in one state (New South Wales), Australia that have implemented indoor-outdoor free play programs since the release of COVID-19 related health advice will be recruited to participate. Services will be randomly allocated to receive either the sustainment strategy (intervention group) or usual care (control group). The “Sustaining Play, Sustaining Health” program consists of eight strategies, developed to address key barriers and facilitators to sustainment of health promotion programs in ECEC settings informed by the Integrated Sustainability Framework. The 6-month sustainment strategy will be delivered remotely and will target ECEC staff responsible for supporting the implementation of PA programs in the ECEC service. The outcomes are feasibility, acceptability, and impact of the sustainment strategy, which will be measured at 6-months post-baseline. Outcomes will be assessed via internal project records, staff surveys, and a self-reported measure of the amount of indoor-outdoor free play provided. Feasibility and acceptability will be assessed using descriptive statistics and impact will be compared between groups.

Discussion:

This study will provide important data to support the conduct of a fully powered trial within Australian ECEC settings and inform the development of future strategies to sustain population health programs in the setting.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
The failure of melanoma immunotherapy can be mediated by immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and insufficient activation effector T cells to against tumor. Here, we show that inhibition of galectin-3 (gal-3) enhances the infiltration of T cells in TME and improves the sensitivity of anti-PD-L1 therapy. We identify that RNF8 downregulated the expression of gal-3 by K48-polyubiquitination and promoted gal-3 degradation via ubiquitin proteasome system. RNF8 deficiency in host but sufficiency in implanted melanoma results immune exclusion and tumor progression due to up-regulation of gal-3. Up-regulation of gal-3 decreased the immune cell infiltration by restricting IL-12 and IFN-γ. Inhibition of gal-3 reverses immunosuppression and induces immune cells infiltration in tumor microenvironment. Moreover, gal-3 inhibitor treatment can increase the sensitivity of PD-L1 inhibitors via increasing immune cells infiltration and enhancing immune response in tumor. This study reveals a previously unrecognized immunoregulation function of RNF8 and provides a promising strategy for therapy of “cold” tumors. Tremendous effects of melanoma treatment can be achieved by facilitating immune cell infiltration combined with anti-PD-L1 treatment.
