Primary healthcare nurses' perceptions about their ability to utilise electronic health records
Authors: Ngweh Tengeh Laura , Bimerew Million 
Published: September 2022

Introduction: The implementation, adoption and use of electronic health records remains a global challenge despite the numerous advantages associated with their use. This paper explores primary healthcare nurses' perceptions regarding their skill levels in using EHRs.Methods: Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire from a sample of 71 nurses (63% response rate) in selected primary health care (PHC) facilities of the Northern-Tygerberg substructure, Cape Town.Results: The overall results show that 59 respondents 83%) believed that they were skilled in using EHRs in PHC. Nearly two thirds of all nurses (46 or 64.8%) reported using EHRs for nursing documentation, 45 nurses (63%) reported using EHRs to store, retrieve and transfer data, 44 (62%) reported being able to design a flow chart, 38 (53.5%) reported being able to access databases and 38 (52.1%) reported being able to convert electronic files for various applications. However, 33 nurses (46.5%) were unsure of their computer skills in creating multimedia files. This varied from service department to service department, with 62 respondents (87.3%) in pediatric care and 59 respondents (83.1%) in family planning, adult nursing and HIV management reporting having EHR skills. Enrolled nurses rated their EHR skills significantly lower (58%) than registered nurses (92%) (p = 0.028).Discussion and conclusion: Although most respondents in this study reported being skilled in using EHRs in PHC, better computer accessibility and continuous training are important ongoing requirements. Further qualitative research is needed to better understand some of the problems and barriers which affect nurses' ability to use EHRs in PHC settings.
Random walks with memory profile of the κ-exponential: a first measurement of diffusive regimes
Authors: De Barros Reis Andrew Nunes , Dos Santos Carvalho Antônio Adrielson , Leal Alessandra Brito , Moura Thiago Rafael da Silva 
Published: September 2022

A new class of random walks, Elephant Random Walks (ERW) in the memory type, non-Markovian, was proposed by Schütz and Trimper characterized by diffusive regimes typical of anomalous diffusion. Following this line, we proposed a model of random walks guided by the principle of kinetic interaction (KIP), where, according to KIP, the temporal evolution of the distribution function of identical particles subject to binary collisions leads us to an ever-increasing functional with time, satisfying the statement of the irreversibility of the second law of Thermodynamics. We derived a distribution of the exponential that is discrete. In the limit , the distribution of the -exponential falls into the ordinary exponential distribution, where we found the typical Brownian diffusion. In the upper limit of anti-equilibrium ( ), we found a transition from the ordinary diffusive regime to the super-diffusive regime. Additionally, moving away from the anti-equilibrium region, we found the ERW’s diffusive behavior. Our results are yet another case of anomalous transport in complex systems, which are associated with particle diffusion for which the variance spreads non-linearly with time.

Published: September 2022

Environmental factors and life experiences impinge on brain circuits triggering adaptive changes. Epigenetic regulators contribute to this neuroadaptation by enhancing or suppressing specific gene programs. The paralogous transcriptional coactivators and lysine acetyltransferases CREB binding protein (CBP) and p300 are involved in brain plasticity and stimulus-dependent transcription, but their specific roles in neuroadaptation are not fully understood. Here we investigated the impact of eliminating either CBP or p300 in excitatory neurons of the adult forebrain of mice from both sexes using inducible and cell type-restricted knock-out strains. The elimination of CBP, but not p300, reduced the expression and chromatin acetylation of plasticity genes, dampened activity-driven transcription, and caused memory deficits. The defects became more prominent in elderly mice and in paradigms that involved enduring changes in transcription, such as kindling and environmental enrichment, in which CBP loss interfered with the establishment of activity-induced transcriptional and epigenetic changes in response to stimulus or experience. These findings further strengthen the link between CBP deficiency in excitatory neurons and etiopathology in the nervous system.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTHow environmental conditions and life experiences impinge on mature brain circuits to elicit adaptive responses that favor the survival of the organism remains an outstanding question in neurosciences. Epigenetic regulators are thought to contribute to neuroadaptation by initiating or enhancing adaptive gene programs. In this article, we examined the role of CREB binding protein (CBP) and p300, two paralogous transcriptional coactivators and histone acetyltransferases involved in cognitive processes and intellectual disability, in neuroadaptation in adult hippocampal circuits. Our experiments demonstrate that CBP, but not its paralog p300, plays a highly specific role in the epigenetic regulation of neuronal plasticity gene programs in response to stimulus and provide unprecedented insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying neuroadaptation.

Background and Aims: Liver involvement in sarcoidosis may occur in up to 60% of all patients. As many patients experience only minor symptoms, a high number of undiagnosed cases must be assumed. In order to successfully identify patients with hepatic sarcoidosis, a throughout characterization of these patients and their course of disease is necessary.
Methods: We collected 40 patients from four German centers to evaluate current treatment standards and course of disease. All of our patients underwent liver biopsy with histologically proven granulomatous hepatitis.
Results: Detailed characterization of our patients showed an overall benign course of disease. Treatment was very diverse with glucocorticoids for 1 year in 55% (22/40), 5-10 years in 18% (7/40), and permanently in 18% (7/40). Other treatments included disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), the conventional non-biological type in 53% of all patients (of these 81% received azathioprine, 46% metotrexate, 10% hydroxychloroquine, 10% mycophenolate mofetil and 10% cyclophosphamide and biologicals in 8%. Despite these very diverse treatments, patients generally showed slow progression of the disease. Two patients died. None of our patients received a liver transplantation.
Conclusions: Patients received diverse treatments and generally showed slow progression of the disease. Based on our experience, we proposed a diagnostic work up and surveillance strategy as a basis for future, prospective register studies.

Published: September 2022

Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy is known to promote symptom improvement, increased survival, and decreased hospitalizations for heart failure. However, one third of patients on cardiac resynchronization therapy may not achieve any clinical improvement. One of the factors for the lack of improvement is an inadequate adjustment of the cardiac device programming, because such adjustments are commonly made at rest. Cardiac resynchronization therapy optimization can be done by adjusting the cardiac resynchronizer during cardiopulmonary exercise testing, this allow the program to align with the functional class of the patient, thus maintaining atrioventricular synchronism and biventricular pacing according to the chronotropic response to effort. However, there is a lack of protocols that propose device adjustment through cardiopulmonary exercise testing and that evaluate the response to its readjustment. Objective: To develop a cardiac resynchronizer readjustment protocol using cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Methods: This was a randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of device readjustment during maximal exercise. The variables used to measure the degree of response to readjustment will be: Functional capacity by the six-minute walk test, life quality by means of the Minessota questionnaire and sleep quality by means of the pittsburg. Participants will be divided into two groups (control and intervention group), then, the six-minute walk test will be applied, followed by life quality and sleep evaluation. The cardiopulmonary test will be the last proposed activity and will not be performed on the same day as the other evaluations. After three months, they will be submitted again to the same testes mentioned previously. During the initial evaluation by cardiopulmonary testing, the components of the intervention group will undergo cardiac resynchronization readjustment by means of a protocol. Results: We hope that the intervention designed by the protocol can contribute to the improvement of functional capacity, quality of life and sleep.

Published: September 2022

Etkili kişilerin alternatif pazarlama iletişimi stratejisi olarak giderek daha fazla kullanılıyor olması, bu kişilere dair sosyal karşılaştırma süreçlerini ve hedef kitleler tarafından bu kişilerin nasıl algılandığını belirlemeyi önemli kılmaktadır. Bu araştırmada, sosyal medyadaki etkili kişilerin takipçileri tarafından nasıl algılandığı ve bunun pazarlama iletişimi uygulamalarına olan yansıması sosyal karşılaştırma perspektifinden ele alınmaktadır. Nitel araştırma deseniyle gerçekleştirilen çalışma, sosyal medyayı aktif kullanan, asgari iki farklı etkili kişiyi takip eden, üniversite öğrencisi 16 katılımcıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniğiyle toplanmış, tümevarımsal yaklaşımla analiz edilmiştir. Görüşmeler sonucunda, katılımcıların etkili kişilere yönelik görüşleri “etkili kişilere yönelik algı ve motivasyonlar”, “etkili kişilere yönelik duygular ve sosyal karşılaştırma” ve “marka-etkili kişi iş birliği ve sosyal karşılaştırma” temaları altında toplanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre katılımcılar, kendilerine yakın hissettikleri etkili kişilere karşı daha olumlu yaklaşmakta, katılımcılarda olumlu izlenimler daha çok yukarı yönlü asimilasyon olarak ortaya çıkmakta, sınırlı da olsa sempati, acıma gibi aşağı yönlü asimilasyon kodlarına rastlandığı görülmektedir. Ayrıca kıskançlık, haset gibi yukarı yönlü kontrast duygularla sıklıkla karşılaşılırken, etkili kişinin yetersiz görüldüğü durumlarda belirginleşen aşağı yönlü kontrast duygular da gözlenmektedir. Etkili kişi – marka iş birliği boyutuyla bakıldığında ise etkili kişinin, reklam içerikli paylaşımlarda benimsediği doğal akışın dışına çıkmasının tüketiciler tarafından olumsuz karşılandığı tespit edilmiştir.
Estimating Cross-Coupling in Site Response by Seismic Noise Interferometry: An Example from an Alpine Valley (Northeastern Italy)
Authors: Parolai Stefano , Laurenzano Giovanna , Garbin Marco 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The assessment of site response is an important task for improved seismic hazard estimation. The standard tools and approaches, however, generally neglect the cross-coupling effect among the three components of motion due to heterogeneities in the underground structure. In this study, we propose a means to estimate cross-coupling effects by the inversion of the deconvolved wavefield derived from seismic noise analysis. These functions are obtained by deconvolving the three components of the ground motion recorded at a site with those recorded at a reference site. The proposed procedure is applied to a set of recordings collected in the Sarca Valley (northeastern Italy) by a temporary seismometric network. The results show that the cross-coupling components are not negligible, and are related to lateral variations in the bedrock surface and heterogeneities within the sedimentary cover.

Abstract
This report describes geodetic and geologic information used to constrain deformation models of the 2023 update to the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM), a set of deformation models to interpret these data, and their implications for earthquake rates in the western United States. Recent updates provide a much larger data set of Global Positioning System crustal velocities than used in the 2014 NSHM, as well as hundreds of new faults considered as active sources for the 2023 NSHM. These data are interpreted by four geodetic models of deformation that estimate fault slip rates and their uncertainties together with off-fault moment release rates. Key innovations in the 2023 NSHM relative to past practice include (1) the addition of two new (in addition to two existing) deformation models, (2) the revision and expansion of the geologic slip rate database, (3) accounting for fault creep through development of a creep-rate model that is employed by the four deformation models, and (4) accounting for time-dependent earthquake-cycle effects through development of viscoelastic models of the earthquake cycle along the San Andreas fault and the Cascadia subduction zone. The effort includes development of a geologic deformation model that complements the four geodetic models. The current deformation models provide a new assessment of outstanding discrepancies between geologic and geodetic slip rates, at the same time highlighting the need for both geologic and geodetic slip rates to robustly inform the earthquake rate model.

Published: September 2022

The gap that exists between reading and writing proficiency in English continues to grow. Moreover, the poor performance of the students is alarming when it comes to reading and writing. The kind of approach, strategy, and method has a big impact and factor which would affect the students’ performance. The purpose of this study is to determine the significant difference of Intensive reading approach in reading proficiency in terms of word recognition, comprehension, and speed. Also, to determine the significant difference of Task- based approach in the writing proficiency of the students in terms of sentence structure, vocabulary, cohesion, and transition device. Consequently, the intensive reading approach with the components of Know, want, and learn (KWL) Chart, Vocabulary Self Selection strategy (VSS), and Story maps used during the execution of the lessons. However, in the task – based approach which has the components of Listing, Ordering/sorting, Comparing/contrasting was used as part of the writing test. The findings show that there was significant difference in intensive reading approach in the reading proficiency of the respondents in terms of word recognition and comprehension. There were constant changes every time the treatment was being used. However, in speed, the changes were being manifested. It implies that the longer the time you use the treatment, the higher the chance that the speed of the students will be improved. The length of time of the intervention was another factor that may have caused these non-significant results. In the same manner, there was significant difference in task- based approach in the writing proficiency of the respondents in terms of sentence structure, vocabulary, cohesion, and transitional devices. The writing proficiency was all improved across the three post tests using the intervention. The findings show that there was improvement in the three consecutive posttests of Grade 8 respondents in reading and writing proficiency after the exposure to the intensive reading and task-based approaches. The use of the said approaches shows positive results in enhancing reading proficiency in terms of word recognition, comprehension, and speed. Moreso, in writing proficiency in terms of sentence structure, vocabulary, cohesion, and transitional devices.

Authors: Kume Enida 
Published: September 2022

The study provides the results of data analysis of 176 interviews with kindergarten teachers. Job satisfaction, work motivation and work engagement are manifestations of the psycho-social state and behavior of Albanian kindergarten teachers that are evaluated at the "moderate" level. The evaluation of Pearson's correlation coefficients between Job satisfaction, work motivation and work engagement identified the statistical significant relationships (p<0.05) between them. The multifactors linear regression analysis showed that job satisfaction is most important psycho-social indicator that affet the general variance of work engagement of the kindergarten teacher . Among the demographic features with the greatest effect on the variance of work engagement is family status (p<0.01), followed by age and work experience of kindergarten. Propriety status of kindergarten and residential areas do not have a statistically significant impact on the state and psycho-social behavior of kindergarten teachers

Published: September 2022

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo geral investigar a repentina mudança de rotina imposta pela COVID-19 às MPEs atendidas pelo Projeto ALI do SEBRAE. Por meio de análises quantitativas foi possível concluir que as empresas pesquisadas que conseguiram retomar o seu faturamento não tiveram avanços significativos nas dimensões de gestão da operação e marketing, mostrando como as empresas renunciam a avanços e novas práticas em detrimento de ganhos de faturamento no curto prazo. A pesquisa também corrobora com a ideia de as MPEs ainda precisam de muita dedicação e abertura para a implantação real de novas culturas e de soluções digitais.
