Professional Development is an integral part of a teacher's professional career and it is a topic most discussed in the teaching profession since the last decade. Lastly, it was called in-service training but now it is known as "Professional Development". The main aim of the present study was to analyze the impact of teachers' professional development on the students' achievement in Elementary teachers' training institutes of Punjab, Pakistan. Government Colleges for Elementary Teachers (GCET) of Punjab was the target population. From 30 colleges of Punjab, data was collected using a self-developed tool from the sample of 70 teachers, and 100 students of the same colleges were used in the study. This study was cross-sectional. The data regarding the professional development of teachers was primary data collected from both teachers and students. The data about achievement scores of students was secondary. The statistical methodology correlation and regression analysis were used to analyze the impact. Further to test the significance of correlation and regression results the t-test and ANOVA were applied respectively. Data were analyzed with the help of Statistical software SPSS. Study findings showed that the correlation between 'Professional Development' and 'Students achievement' is high i.e. 0.314 for students and 0.343 for teachers along with significance values 0.004 and 0.001 respectively. The regression results are also significant having an F-statistic of 10.699 for students and 9.070 for teachers along with significant values 0.001 and 0.004 respectively. Analysis of the results showed that 'Professional Development of teachers have a great positive impact on 'Students achievement'.
Digital Organizational Culture: Contributions to a Definition and Future Challenges
Authors: Serpa Sandro , José Sá Maria , Ferreira Carlos Miguel 
Published: July 2022

Digitalization is unstoppable and takes place in all domains of human life. One of the areas in which this digitalization has profound implications is organizations, understood as coordinated collective units open to the external environment and that are based on and justified by the fulfillment of purposes that would not otherwise be fulfilled, and that have an organizational culture as, generically, forms of thinking, feeling and acting that are characteristics of each specific organization. Through a focused look on contributions to the definition of the concept of digitalization and future challenges, this paper analyzes and discusses the shaping of the digital component in organizational culture, which materializes in a digital organizational culture. To fulfill this aim, a document search of papers was carried out in two comprehensive databases that focus on this topic that served as the basis for our argument. Digital organizational culture, as a product and a process, is shaped by indeterminacy and uncertainty, in an environment permeated by digital technology. However, it is already a reality that new technologies permeate all spheres of organizations and, therefore, organizations need to put in place a well-planned and well-defined strategy for this whole process of digital transition to accomplish this transformation successfully.

Published: July 2022

The purpose of this study is to identify the link between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and organizational behavior with human resource management. The methodological tool used was based on bibliographic research in the analysis of texts and secondary sources. A literature review and a case study were carried out to study the topic. The literature review enabled the collection of secondary data. These data provide information for other researchers. The case study was conducted in a Greek company that operates throughout Greece in the catering industry and which has many branches. Through the case study, the researcher collected data on the dimensions of CSR and the company’s organizational behavior. The research question that will concern us refers to Corporate Social Responsibility and organizational behavior and whether they contribute to the evolution and development of human resources in companies. We assume that CSR and organizational behavior contribute significantly to the fuller utilization of business staff and we will try to verify this hypothesis. The research results showed a correlation between Corporate Social Responsibility, organizational behavior and human resources. They also showed that CSR is implemented to a satisfactory degree, while the levels of organizational behavior of employees in the company were also satisfactory. The above findings are considered important because they provide us with new data on the situation in the business world. At the same time, they lead us to the conclusion that it is necessary to strengthen CSR through actions aimed at creating a business culture that will contribute to the staff development and evolution.

Financial Participation Among Smallholder - Farmers in Zimbabwe: What Are the Driving Factors?
Authors: Mhlanga David , Hassan Adewale Samuel 
Published: July 2022

Small-scale farmers' financial participation boosts output while also raising living conditions by breaking the poverty cycle. Many policymakers regard it as a necessary input for increasing agricultural production because it is a vital aspect of the agriculture sector's commercialization and the modernization of the rural economy. Financial participation is a vital input for agriculture to achieve substantial growth. Small-scale farmers' financial engagement in many rural families remains a concern in Zimbabwe, despite the construction of a vast network of financial institutions in towns and growth centres. This research examines the factors that influence smallholder farmers' engagement in Zimbabwe's formal financial markets. The Binary Logit model was used to evaluate the characteristics that influence smallholder farmers' engagement informal financial markets. The results from the logit model indicated that “gender, household head age, land size, and agricultural extension service” were the significant factors influencing financial participation by smallholder farmers. As a result, the government should prioritize measures targeted at expanding the area of land available to small-scale farmers to ensure that these farmers are in the position to commercialise their activities. Again, support towards agricultural extension programs aimed at expanding farmer training and “doubling efforts to guarantee that the age distribution in farms” is balanced between the young and the old, as age has an impact on formal financial market involvement.

Authors: Adomako Elvis Kwakye , Quansah Charles , Mensah Ronald Osei 
Published: July 2022

The Ghanaian government developed and implemented an ICT in Education Policy in 2008. ICT was integrated into instructing and education at all levels of the country's educational system as a result of this approach. This study looks at the challenges that rural communities in Ghana confront in securing the benefits of ICT in tutoring at various levels. The study used a sample size of 142 ICT instructors and heads of schools, as well as a small number of students, with a 90% confidence level. The district's respondents were chosen using planned and practical sampling methods. A structured form was used to gather primary data from all participants; however, only 93.67 percent responded. With the use of SPSS, tables were used to examine the primary data. According to the students, the number of hours per week dedicated to teaching ICT in schools is positively connected with their dedication to learning ICT. In terms of the impact of ICT on students' daily lives in the district, the reading discovered that ICT instruction had both beneficial and adverse consequences for kids. Based on the findings, the various stakeholders in education should conduct periodic on-the-job training for all teachers on evolving e-learning high-tech and approaches to provide them with the necessary abilities to effectively teach ICT.

On Atmospheric Retrievals of Exoplanets with Inhomogeneous Terminators
Authors: Welbanks Luis , Madhusudhan Nikku 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The complexity of atmospheric retrieval models is largely data-driven, and one-dimensional models have generally been considered adequate with current data quality. However, recent studies have suggested that using 1D models in retrievals can result in anomalously cool terminator temperatures and biased abundance estimates even with existing transmission spectra of hot Jupiters. Motivated by these claims and upcoming high-quality transmission spectra, we systematically explore the limitations of 1D models using synthetic and current observations. We use 1D models of varying complexity, both analytic and numerical, to revisit claims of biases when interpreting transmission spectra of hot Jupiters with inhomogeneous terminator compositions. Overall, we find the reported biases to be resulting from specific model assumptions rather than intrinsic limitations of 1D atmospheric models in retrieving current observations of asymmetric terminators. Additionally, we revise atmospheric retrievals of the hot Jupiter WASP-43b (T
eq = 1440 K) and the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-103b (T
eq = 2484 K), for which previous studies inferred abnormally cool atmospheric temperatures. We retrieve temperatures consistent with expectations. We note, however, that in the limit of extreme terminator inhomogeneities and high data quality, some atmospheric inferences may conceivably be biased—although to a lesser extent than previously claimed. To address such cases, we implement a 2D retrieval framework for transmission spectra that allows accurate constraints on average atmospheric properties and provides insights into the spectral ranges where the imprints of atmospheric inhomogeneities are strongest. Our study highlights the need for careful considerations of model assumptions and data quality before attributing biases in retrieved estimates to unaccounted atmospheric inhomogeneities.
Oncology-Hematology Nurses' Perspectives on the Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Pehlivan Tuğba , Güner Perihan 
Published: July 2022

Background
Oncology-hematology nurses are at increased risk for compassion fatigue. It remains unclear whether the Compassion Fatigue Resiliency program is effective, and qualitative evidence from participant feedback is limited. This was a follow-up study to a quantitative study of the Compassion Fatigue Resiliency program. The aims of this study were to evaluate how the content of the program affects nurses' compassion fatigue and coping abilities and to obtain their views.

Method
This qualitative study was performed with 24 oncology-hematology nurses at two hospitals. Three focus groups were conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using conventional content analysis.

Results
Four themes emerged: awareness; coping; not for others, for me; and training design. Nurses stated they had only just learned what compassion fatigue and its impact were and had gained more awareness.

Conclusion

The content of the Compassion Fatigue Resiliency program helped nurses learn effective coping skills; however, the program's design is important to its effectiveness.

Association of Preprocedural Ultrashort-Term Heart Rate Variability with Clinical Outcomes after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Authors: Beydoun Najla , Quraishi Sadeq A. , Tolman Ebenezer , Battarjee Wejdan , Weintraub Andrew , Cobey Fredrick , Hong Edward 
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT

Background:
Because heart rate variability (HRV) has been linked to important clinical outcomes in various cardiovascular disease states, we investigated whether preprocedural ultrashort-term HRV (UST-HRV) differs between 1-year survivors and nonsurvivors after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Methods:
In our single-center, retrospective, nested pilot study, we analyzed data from patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR. All patients had preprocedural UST-HRV measured before the administration of any medications or any intervention. To investigate whether preprocedural HRV is associated with 1-year survival, we performed a logistic regression analysis controlling for Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire 12 score.

Results:
In our parent cohort of 100 patients, 42 patients (28 survivors and 14 nonsurvivors) were included for analysis. Root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) and standard deviation of NN intervals (SDNN) were lower in patients who survived to 1-year post TAVR compared to nonsurvivors [10 (IQR 8–23) vs 23 (IQR 17–33), P = 0.04 and 10 (IQR 7–16) vs 17 (IQR 11–40), P = 0.03, respectively]. Logistic regression demonstrated a trend in the association of preprocedure RMSSD with 1-year mortality and a 5% higher risk of 1-year mortality with each unit increment in UST-HRV using SDNN (OR 1.05; 95%CI 1.01–1.09, P = 0.02).

Conclusion:
Our data suggest an inverse relationship between preprocedural UST-HRV and 1-year survival post-TAVR. This finding highlights the potential complexity of HRV regulation in chronic vs acute illness. Prospective studies are needed to validate our findings and to determine whether UST-HRV can be used for risk stratification in patients with severe aortic stenosis.
Utility of E Point Septal Separation as Screening Tool for Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Perioperative Settings by Anesthetists
Authors: Joshi Pooja , Borde Deepak , Asegaonkar Balaji , Daunde Vijay , Joshi Shreedhar , Jaspara Amish 
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT

Background and Aims:
Left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction is a common cause of hemodynamic disturbance perioperatively and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular systolic function (LVSF) has great clinical utility. This study was aimed to test the hypothesis that LVSF assessed by an anesthetist using mitral valve E Point Septal Separation (EPSS) has a significant correlation with that assessed using modified Simpson's method perioperatively.

Methods:
This prospective observational study included 100 patients scheduled for elective surgeries. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was performed preoperatively within 24 hours of surgery by an anesthetist as per American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) guidelines. EPSS measurements were obtained in parasternal long-axis view while volumetric assessment of LV ejection fraction (EF) used apical four-chamber view. Bivariate analysis of EPSS and LV EF was done by testing Pearson correlation coefficient. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve constructed to obtain area under curve (AUC) and Youden's Index.

Results:
The mean value of mitral valve EPSS was 7.18 ± 3.95 mm. The calculated mean LV EF value using volumetric analysis was 56.31 ± 11.92%. LV dysfunction as per ASE guidelines is present in 28% of patients. EPSS was statistically significantly related to LV EF negatively with a Pearson coefficient of -0.74 (P < 0.0001). AUC of ROC curve 0.950 (P < 0.0001) suggesting a statistically significant correlation between EPSS and LV EF. Youden's index of EPSS value 7 mm was obtained to predict LV systolic dysfunction.

Conclusion:
Mitral valve EPSS shows a significant negative correlation with gold standard LVEF measurement for LVSF estimation. It can very well be used to assess LVSF perioperatively by anesthetists with brief training.
A new strategy in lung/lobe isolation in patients with a lung abscess or a previous lung resection using double lumen tubes combined with bronchial blockers
Authors: Gil Manuel Granell , Rubio-Haro Ruben , Morales-Sarabia Javier , Perez Elena Biosca , Petrini Giulia , Guijarro Ricardo , De Andrés Jose 
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT
The combined use of a double-lumen tube and a bronchial blocker can be very helpful in two different clinical scenarios: (1) in isolating not only the contralateral lung, but also the lobe/s of the same lung in which the infected lobe must be resected, (2) in preventing/treating hypoxemia because of the presence of a contralateral lobectomy. A cardiothoracic anesthesiologist must expertise this technique to avoid complications during surgery.
