Published: February 2022

Introduction
Prescribers have a major role in preventing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through appropriate prescribing. However, in countries like Sri Lanka, where continuous professional development is not mandatory for license renewal and antimicrobial stewardship is not implemented, prescribing practices go largely unchecked.

Objectives
To identify the knowledge on antibiotic use and practices related to antibiotic prescribing among Sri Lankan doctors.

Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2020. We used a validated, pretested Google-form based questionnaire with multiple choices, single best answer questions, polar questions (Yes/No) and five-point Likert scale questions. The Google-sheet generated was used for data analysis. Knowledge and practice scores were calculated.

Results
Of the 262 respondents, 40.1% were males. Majority (61.8%) were aged 25–35-years and in medical practice for 0–5 years (48.9%) while 46.2% had or were engaged in post graduate studies. Knowledge scores ranged from 98.31% to 46.55% [mean:71.27% (SD±10.83); median:71.18% (IQR 64.4–79.7)]. Most (98.09%) obtained ≥50 marks while 45.8% scored more than the mean. The practice scores ranged from 100% to 0% [mean:65.33% (SD±18.16), median:66.67% (IQR53.3–80)]. The majority (81.3%) scored ≥50 in the practice score while 52.3% achieved more than the mean practice score. The knowledge score and the practice score differed significantly (p<0.001, related sample Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test) but the knowledge and practice scores were significantly correlated [Spearman correlation, p<0.001, r = 0.343 (Bias corrected 95% CI 0.237–0.448)]. Knowledge scores and the practice scores were significantly higher in those with or undergoing postgraduate training.

Conclusions
While the knowledge and practice scores were high, and knowledge and practice scores were correlated, the practices score was lower than that of knowledge indicating the need to encourage correct practices through means other than solely promoting knowledge.
Development of a core outcome set and outcome measurement set for physiotherapy trials in adults with Bronchiectasis (COS-PHyBE study): A protocol
Authors: Hamzeh Hayat , Spencer Sally , Kelly Carol 
Published: February 2022

BackgroundBronchiectasis is a chronic respiratory disease characterised by airways widening and recurrent infections, resulting in episodes of chronic cough, sputum expectoration, and dyspnoea. This leads to deterioration in daily function, repeated hospital admissions and poor quality of life. The prevalence and mortality related to bronchiectasis is increasing worldwide with growing economic burden on healthcare systems. Physiotherapy for bronchiectasis aims to decrease accumulation of sputum, dyspnoea, and improve exercise capacity and daily function. A robust evidence base to support physiotherapy in bronchiectasis is currently lacking. This is partly because of inconsistency and poor reporting of outcomes in available studies.A core outcome set is the minimum acceptable group of outcomes that should be used in clinical trials for a specific condition. This decreases research waste by improving consistency and reporting of key outcomes and facilitates the synthesis of study outcomes in systematic reviews and guidelines.The aim of the study is therefore to develop a core outcome set and outcome measurement set for physiotherapy research in adults with bronchiectasis. This will ensure outcomes important to key stakeholders are consistently used and reported in future research.Methods and analysisThis project will use the COMET Initiative and COSMIN guidelines of core outcome set development and will include three phases. In the first phase, a comprehensive list of outcomes will be developed using systematic review of reported outcomes and qualitative interviews with patients and physiotherapists. Then consensus on key outcomes will be established in phase two using a Delphi survey and a consensus meeting. Finally, in phase three, we will identify appropriate instruments to measure the core outcomes by evaluating the psychometric properties of available instruments and a stakeholders’ meeting to establish consensus.EthicsThe study was reviewed and has received ethical approval from the health-related Research Ethics Committee- Edge Hill University (ETH2021-0217).RegistrationThis study is registered with the COMET database.https://www.comet-initiative.org/Studies/Details/1931.The full systematic review protocol is registered in PROSPERO under the numberCRD42021266247.
No difference in the maximum frost hardiness of different pedunculate oak populations in Finland
Authors: Repo Tapani , Volanen Virva , Pulkkinen Pertti 
Published: February 2022

The natural northern distribution limit for pedunculate oak ( L.) is in southern Finland. We hypothesized that the maximum frost hardiness (FH) in the winter limited the cultivation of oaks in northern latitudes. We tested the hypothesis with controlled freezing tests in midwinter. The acorns for the experiment were collected from the four main oak populations in southernmost Finland. The seedlings were raised in the nursery, frost hardened in field conditions, and then moved to a growth chamber at â2 Â°C on two occasions in winter and tested for FH in controlled freezing tests. Frost hardiness was assessed by differential thermal analysis (DTA) based on the low temperature exotherm (LTE) and relative electrolyte leakage (REL) of the stem, and visual damage scoring (VD) of the buds and stem. The initiation and peak of the LTE took place at an average of â41 Â°C and â43 Â°C respectively, without differences among the populations. The variation in the initiation and peak of the LTE was high, ranging from â34.6 Â°C to â45.5 Â°C and from â37.1 Â°C to â46.9 Â°C respectively. According to the REL method, the frost hardiness of the populations ranged from â44.0 Â°C to â46.4 Â°C in February and from â40.6 Â°C to â41.6 Â°C in March, without significant differences among the populations. According to VD, the bud was the least frost hardy organ, with FH between â19 Â°C and â33 Â°C, depending on population and assessment time. We conclude that the maximum hardiness may set the limit for the distribution of pedunculate oak northwards, but the high within-population variation offers potential to breed more frost hardy genotypes.Quercus roburmaxmax

É a metafísica uma ciência a priori ou a posteriori’? Suárez e a fundamentação da metafísica
Resumo: Contra a interpretação de François Courtine, Rolf Darge afirma que para Francisco Suárez a metafísica é uma ciência que trata do ente entendido não como aquilo que pode ser objeto para a mente humana, mas como aquilo que é apto a existir de fato. A metafísica seria uma ciência real, entre outras razões, porque ela é uma ciência a posteriori. Este artigo pretende verificar melhor a afirmação de que a metafísica de Suárez é uma ciência a posteriori. Pois, se de fato for assim, a interpretação realista que Rolf Darge oferece da metafísica de Suárez adquire maior plausibilidade.

Is metaphysics an a priori or an a posteriori Science? Suárez and the foundation of metaphysics.
Abstract: Against the interpretation of François Courtine, Rolf Darge affirms that for Francisco Suárez metaphysics is a science that deals not with being as that which can be an object for the human mind, but with being as that which is apt to actually exist. Metaphysics would be a real science, among other reasons, because it is a posteriori science. This article aims to verify the claim that Suárez's metaphysics is a posteriori science. If this is so, the realistic interpretation that Rolf Darge offers of Suárez's metaphysics acquires greater plausibility.

Investigating teaching assistants’ participation in a simulated meeting in a United States University English course
Authors: Freedman Justin E. , Dotger Benjamin H. , Samburskiy Denis 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
In countries such as the United States and Canada, an increasing number of non-native English speaking graduate students work in the capacity of university teaching assistants. Over the past several decades, a number of communication challenges between non-native English speaking International Teaching Assistants (ITAs) and native English-speaking undergraduate students have emerged. Universities have responded by developing ITA education programs that aim to teach English for the specific purpose of university teaching. This paper examines how ITA education can provide ITAs opportunities for authentic practice and reflection of communicating in an instructional capacity. ITAs enrolled in an English course participated in a video-recorded clinical simulation – a form of situated practice in which individuals engage with an actor who is trained to interact with all participants in a consistent manner. ITAs met with an actor-portrayed undergraduate student who is visiting their teaching assistant to express concern about a group project. ITAs met in small groups following the simulated meeting to reflect on the shared experience. Qualitative analysis demonstrates that the simulated context elicited both challenges to comprehensibility and the use of strategies by students and ITAs to manage miscommunication, while working towards mutual understanding of the students’ concerns. Reflective discussions reveal how the ITAs evaluated approaches to communicating with a concerned student in an instructional context. Embedding clinical simulations in ITA education can provide opportunities for the situated practice of using language to communicate instructional decisions, and as a structured opportunity for supporting mutual understanding between ITAs and native English-speaking students.
The mF mode of authenticated encryption with associated data
Authors: Chakraborty Bishwajit , Nandi Mridul 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
In recent years, the demand for lightweight cryptographic protocols has grown immensely. To fulfill this necessity, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has initiated a standardization process for lightweight cryptographic encryption. NIST’s call for proposal demands that the scheme should have one primary member that has a key length of 128 bits, and it should be secure up to

byte queries and

computations. In this article, we propose a tweakable block cipher (TBC)-based authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD) scheme, which we call

mF

{\mathsf{mF}}

. We provide authenticated encryption security analysis for

mF

{\mathsf{mF}}

under some weaker security assumptions (stated in the article) on the underlying TBC. We instantiate a TBC using block cipher and show that the TBC achieves these weaker securities, provided the key update function has high periodicity.

mixFeed

{\mathsf{mixFeed}}

is a round 2 candidate in the aforementioned lightweight cryptographic standardization competition. When we replace the key update function with the key scheduling function of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), the

mF

{\mathsf{mF}}

mode reduces to

mixFeed

{\mathsf{mixFeed}}

. Recently, the low periodicity of AES key schedule is shown. Exploiting this feature, a practical attack on

{\mathsf{mixFeed}}

is reported. We have shown that multiplication by primitive element satisfies the high periodicity property, and we have a secure instantiation of

Syntheses and crystal structures of ethyltin complexes with ferrocenecarboxylic acid
Authors: Wang Ruili , Zhang Jing , Tian Laijin 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Three new ethyltin complexes containing ferrocenecarboxylate, Et2Sn(OC(O)Fc)2 (1), [(Et2SnOC(O)Fc)2O]2 (2), and [EtSn(O)OC(O)Fc]6 (3) (Fc = C5H5FeC5H4), have been synthesized by the reaction of diethyltin dichloride with ferrocenecarboxylic acid in the presence of potassium hydroxide and characterized by means of elemental analysis, FT-IR, NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray single crystal diffraction. In solid state, 1 is a weak dimer possessing a cyclic Sn2O2 unit formed by the intermolecular Sn⋯O interaction, and the tin atom has a distorted pentagonal bipyramid geometry. Compound 2 is a four-tin nuclear diethyltin complex with a ladder framework, and each tin atom adopts a distorted trigonal bipyramidal configuration in which two oxygen atoms occupy the axial positions. Compound 3 is a hexa-tin nuclear monoethyltin complex having a drum-shaped structure, and each of the tin atoms possesses a distorted octahedral geometry. The ferrocene units are attached to the tin atoms through the monodentate or bidentate coordinated carboxylates.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Several products with a high length/section ratio and with a relatively low stiffness are used in the automotive industry, causing several problems because of a lack of stiffness. One of the examples where this occurs is in the production of Bowden cables, where automation has played a very important role in the flexibility of processes and product quality. Within this product family, conduits, one of the components of Bowden cables, have proven to be one of the points of continuous improvement. Currently, the production process for this type of component is done in a fully automated way, which proves the importance of automation. However, the need to manufacture different references means that the equipment used needs to be characterized by its high flexibility. This work aims to develop a new transfer system for conduit preparation machines, which are focused on increasing the range of references possible to manufacture without affecting the quality and productivity of the equipment. Thus, a new concept of conduit transport has been successfully developed, able to deal with lengthy conduits without lacking quality or experiencing breakdowns of the equipment. The concept used to overcome this problem can be extended to other equipment with similar problems, even in the manufacturing of other kind of products.

Розглянуто вплив одновісного тиску на рухливість носіїв струму у кристалах n-Si та p-Si, який використовується при виготовленні n-МОН та p-МОН транзисторів. Представлено залежності поздовжнього і поперечного тензорезистивних (ТР) ефектів, отримано у кремнії p-типу для головних кристалографічних орієнтацій X ║ [100], X ║ [110], X ║ [111]. Стрімке зменшення поздовжнього ТР ефекту в p-Si зі збільшенням тиску пов'язано із зменшенням поздовжньої ефективної маси важких дірок і відповідним збільшенням їх рухливості при зростанні X. У кремнії n-типу зі збільшенням одновісного тиску X ║ [100] відбувається повне усунення f-переходів з міждолинного розсіювання при великому енергетичному розщепленні однотипних ∆1-долин (∆ε > 10 кТ), що веде до зростання при цьому рухливості електронів у температурному інтервалі 78–300 К. На величину рухливості електронів у цьому температурному інтервалі зміна g-переходів при розщепленні однотипних ∆1 долин не впливає. Крім того, наведено технологічні розробки, які використовує фірма “Intel Corporation” при виробництві інтегральних мікросхем з одновісно-деформованими каналами МОН транзисторів.
