description: © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd Aim: To appraise and synthesize evidence of empirical studies reporting assessment of new graduate nurses’ clinical competence in clinical settings. Design: Mixed methods systematic review. Data sources: The search strategy included keywords relevant to: new graduate nurse; clinical competence; and competence assessment. The searched literature databases included CINAHL, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO and Web of Science. The search was limited to full-text papers in English or French, published between 2010 –September 2019. Review Methods: Inclusion criteria were: 1) empirical studies; 2) detailed method and complete results sections; 3) competence assessment in clinical settings; and 4) new graduate nurses (≤24 months). Two independent reviewers screened eligible papers, extracted data and used the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool framework for quality appraisal. Divergences were solved through discussion. Results: About 42 papers were included in this review: quantitative (N = 31), qualitative (N = 7) and mixed methods (N = 4). Findings suggest that new graduate nurses exhibit a good or adequate level of competence. Longitudinal studies show a significant increase in competence from 0–6 months, but findings are inconsistent from 6-12 months. Conclusion: There are a multitude of quantitative tools available to measure clinical competence. This suggests a need for a review of their rigor. Impact: No recent reviews comprehensively synthesized the findings from new graduate nurses’ clinical competence. This review has found that new graduate nurses’ competence has been mostly assessed as good, despite the expectation that they should be more competent. Longitudinal studies did not always show a significant increase in competence. These findings can help nurse educators in providing more support to new graduate nurses throughout the transition period or design improved transition programme. This review also identified quantitative tools and qualitative methods that can be used for competence assessment.

description: The high sensitivity of nitramine explosives limits their wide application, and an effective way to reduce the sensitivity is to coat them. In this study, four types of azide polymers (GAP, GAPA, GAPE, GAP-ETPE) and nitrocellulose (NC) were selected as the coating materials to coat RDX by the solvent evaporation method. The morphology, structure, dimensions and coating quality of the composite microspheres were investigated by SEM, laser particle size measurement, XRD, XPS and FT-IR. The results indicated that uniformly coated RDX composite microspheres with high sphericity and uniform particle size distribution were prepared. In addition, the thermal stability of the composite microspheres was further analyzed by DSC. The results showed that the critical temperature of thermal explosion (Tb) and self-accelerated decomposition temperature (TSADT) of the azide polymer/NC/RDX composite microspheres were increased from 211.92°C and 198.49°C to 218.82°C and 206.19°C, respectively. In addition, mechanical sensitivity tests showed that the friction sensitivity and impact sensitivity of the composite microspheres were reduced by 24% ~36% and 35% ~58%, respectively.Therefore, this work demonstrates the beneficial effects of azide polymers and NC as coating materials for nitramine explosives and provides a reference for the desensitization research of nitramine explosives.

description: The Eastern spinebill (Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris), a passerine bird in the family Meliphagidae (honeyeaters), a dominant group of birds in Australia and New Guinea. The aim of this study was to sequence the complete mitochondrial genome of the Eastern spinebill and use its sequence to better define the phylogeny of this species. The complete mitogenome sequence of A. tenuirostris was circular and 16,614 bp in length, and its architecture was conserved in comparison to other mitogenome sequences under the family Meliphagidae. The Eastern spinebill mitogenome had the highest sequence identity with mitogenome sequences of two other honeyeaters, the white eared honeyeater, Nesoptilotis leucotis, (84.9%) and the white-plumed honeyeater, Ptilotula penicillata (85.5%). The maximum-likelihood topology distinctly discriminated the Eastern spinebill sequence against all other species of the Meliphagidae with significant bootstrap supports. We suggest the widespread sampling and complete mitogenome sequencing would be valuable in establishing the most accurate phylogenetic taxonomy of the family Meliphagidae.

description: NYC Health + Hospitals curates one of the largest public art collections in the country. It consists of over 7,000 works ranging from murals commissioned under the Works Progress Administration to works by more contemporary artists such as Keith Haring and Andy Warhol. I worked with this collection for six months as a collection and archives intern, and in this case study I will examine the unique difficulties in cataloging these artworks and how we addressed them through the use of public archives.

Due to the nature of its audience and the history of its administration, this collection poses unique problems. The foremost of these is knowing just what is in the collection. The collection has been managed for decades without administrative continuity, resulting in an incomplete and inaccurate catalog. Furthermore the works are scattered across dozens of medical facilities to which we had limited access. How could we catalog works we couldn't see? How could we catalog works we could see but about which we had no identifying information?

What we did have access to was Health + Hospitals' extensive public archives. By undertaking a research and digitization project, I discovered metadata and high-resolution photographs of many pieces for which we had little information. We were able to improve the state of the catalog and therefore also our ability to care for the collection. Other problems, such as how to evaluate art in the context of healthcare and human services, are less tractable and remain ongoing concerns.

description: © 2020. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd. Glioblastoma (GB) is the most aggressive and lethal tumour of the central nervous system (CNS). GB cells grow rapidly and display a network of projections, ultra-long tumour microtubes (TMs), that mediate cell to cell communication. GB-TMs infiltrate throughout the brain, enwrap neurons and facilitate the depletion of the signalling molecule wingless (Wg)/WNT from the neighbouring healthy neurons. GB cells establish a positive feedback loop including Wg signalling upregulation that activates cJun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway and matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) production, which in turn promote further TMs infiltration, GB progression and neurodegeneration. Thus, cellular and molecular signals other than primary mutations emerge as central players of GB. Using a Drosophila model of GB, we describe the temporal organisation of the main cellular events that occur in GB, including cell-to-cell interactions, neurodegeneration and TM expansion. We define the progressive activation of JNK pathway signalling in GB mediated by the receptor Grindelwald (Grnd) and activated by the ligand Eiger (Egr)/TNFα produced by surrounding healthy brain tissue. We propose that cellular interactions of GB with the healthy brain tissue precede TM expansion and conclude that non-autonomous signals facilitate GB progression. These results contribute to deciphering the complexity and versatility of these incurable tumours.

description: Studying the impact sensitivity of energetic materials at the computational level is of great help to their transportation, synthesis and storage. In this paper, the relationship between energy transfer rate and impact sensitivity is explored based on first-principles calculations. Fifteen materials are selected for phonon performance calculation, and the range of phonon bath is determined based on the definition of frequency band gap. We use a new sensitivity index (Ψ) to represent the energy transfer rate. The results show that there is a good linear relationship between the index and the experimental h50, and the correlation coefficient R2  ≈  0.89. The smaller the Ψ is, the more sensitive the compound is. In addition, we find that the band gap value of the vibration mode and the total up-pumped density can qualitatively explain whether the energetic materials are sensitive, but they cannot be accurately sorted. This is because the factors affecting the sensitivity of the compound are very complex and cannot be predicted by a single indicator.

description: Schiff base derived from the condensation of 3-(p-bromophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolecarboxaldehyde with 4-amino-3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazin-5-one and its Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) metal complexes have been synthesized in 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratios. Ligand and its metal complexes are characterized by various physicochemical techniques. On the basis of these techniques, octahedral geometry deduced for Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes and square planar for Cu(II) complexes. Low molar conductance values of all the metal complexes reveal their non-electrolytic nature. All the synthesized complexes have been screened invitro for antibacterial activity against S. aureus, B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa and E. coli and antifungal activity against C. albicans and S. cerevisiae. It has been found that metal complexes show promising biological activity as compared to ligand. Schiff base and its metal complexes have been screened against human breast cancer cell lines by using the MTT (Methyl Thiazolyl Tetrazolium) assay. In vitro anticancer cell lines results indicate that metal complexes exhibit significant activity on MCF-7.

description: © 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. This study examined the patterns of informal (unpaid) caregiving provided to people after moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), explore the self-reported burden and preparedness for the caregiving role, and identify factors predictive of caregiver burden and preparedness. A cross-sectional cohort design was used. Informal caregivers completed the Demand and Difficulty subscales of the Caregiving Burden Scale; and the Mutuality, Preparedness, and Global Strain subscales of the Family Care Inventory. Chi-square tests and logistic regression were used to examine the relationships between caregiver and care recipient variables and preparedness for caregiving. Twenty-nine informal caregivers who reported data on themselves and people with a moderate to severe TBI were recruited (referred to as a dyad). Most caregivers were female (n = 21, 72%), lived with the care recipient (n = 20, 69%), and reported high levels of burden on both scales. While most caregivers (n = 21, 72%) felt “pretty well” or “very well” prepared for caregiving, they were least prepared to get help or information from the health system, and to deal with the stress of caregiving. No significant relationships or predictors for caregiver burden or preparedness were identified. While caregivers reported the provision of care as both highly difficult and demanding, further research is required to better understand the reasons for the variability in caregiver experience, and ultimately how to best prepare caregivers for this long-term role.

description: © 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. This study explored the anthropometric and body composition characteristics of elite female rugby union players, comparing between and within different playing positions. Thirty elite female rugby union players (25.6 ± 4.3 y, 171.3 ± 7.7 cm, 83.5 ± 13.9 kg) from New Zealand participated in this study. Physical characteristics were assessed using anthropometric (height, body mass, skinfolds) and body composition (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) measures. Forwards were significantly taller (p < 0.01; d = 1.34), heavier (p < 0.01; d = 2.19), and possessed greater skinfolds (p < 0.01; d = 1.02) than backs. Forwards also possessed significantly greater total (p < 0.01; d = 1.83–2.25) and regional (p < 0.01; d = 1.50–2.50) body composition measures compared to backs. Healthy bone mineral density values were observed in both forwards and backs, with significantly greater values observed at the arm (p < 0.01; d = 0.92) and femoral neck (p = 0.04; d = 0.77) sites for forwards. Tight-five players were significantly heavier (p = 0.02; d = 1.41) and possessed significantly greater skinfolds (p < 0.01; d = 0.97) than loose-forwards. Tight-five also possessed significantly greater total body composition measures (p < 0.05; d = 0.97–1.77) and significantly greater trunk lean mass (p = 0.04; d = 1.14), trunk fat mass (p <0.01; d = 1.84), and arm fat mass (p = 0.02; d = 1.35) compared to loose-forwards. Specific programming and monitoring for forwards and backs, particularly within forward positional groups, appear important due to such physical characteristic differences.
Rewind and Reconsider: A Case Study in VHS Tape Management

description: A museum's art research library has a large collection of VHS tapes, totaling 341, and only two have circulated since the switch to a new library information system in 2020. The library non-circulating which requires patrons to schedule time to view the tapes. VHS tapes are considered an obsolete media form which has made it necessary to evaluate them. However, management of this collection was not prioritized due to long-term staff shortages which were amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, it was necessary to create a method of maintenance that acknowledges the history while considering future management of this and other obsolete collections.
Due to the niche nature of the collection, it was necessary to evaluate and create a recommendation that accounts for many factors, including shelf space, usage statistics, physical condition and more. With the input of multiple staff members, a preliminary procedure was created. The initial focus was on three main criteria: Availability, Collection Relevancy, and Physical Condition. This guide went through many changes until the focus of the first phase was narrowed down to availability. A sampling with a high margin of error was divided roughly between the span of 4 decades to further revise the procedure. After all tapes have been checked for availability, this project aims to lead smoothly into potential digitization of specific tapes and future collection management. Ideally, this process will be beneficial to and could be adopted by other libraries struggling with aging collections.

description: © 2020 Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the hepatitis C treatment intentions of Aboriginal people living with hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Western Australia. Methods: This study used a mixed-methods design. In the cross-sectional survey, 123 Aboriginal people who inject drugs and self-report as living with hepatitis C completed a purpose-designed questionnaire. In the qualitative phase, 10 participants were interviewed about the factors influencing their future intentions to undertake hepatitis C treatment. Results: Analysis of the survey data revealed significant associations between an intention to undertake hepatitis C treatment and support, community attachment, stable housing and stigma. In addition, there was a high overall level of expressed intention to undertake HCV treatment, with 54% of participants responding positively. Analysis of the qualitative data supported quantitative findings, revealing concerns about stigma, lack of social support and unstable housing as factors affecting the intention to undertake hepatitis C treatment. Conclusion: This mixed methods study with Aboriginal people living with self-reported HCV indicates interventions focused on reducing stigma and unstable housing could positively affect hepatitis C treatment intentions. These findings have implications for developing holistic programs to promote and support people on hepatitis C treatment. What is known about the topic?: Substantial knowledge gaps need to be resolved if HCV elimination among Aboriginal Australians is to be achieved. Current research has prioritised non-Aboriginal communities. What does this paper add?: This study found that stigma and unstable housing require attention if Aboriginal Australians are to obtain the full benefits of direct acting antiviral (DAA) hepatitis C treatment. What are the implications for practitioners?: Reducing stigma (in the primary healthcare setting) and providing access to stable housing are vital components of supportive, non-judgemental and culturally appropriate care for Aboriginal people. This study highlights the importance of education for nurses and other primary care providers to increase engagement in the hepatitis cascade of care. To achieve this, scaling-up of HCV treatment engagement, trained Aboriginal community healthcare workers and HCV treatment advocates must mobilise and support Aboriginal people to avoid the negative effects of stigma, build positive and enabling relationships and reinforce positive attitudes towards DAA hepatitis C treatment.

The utilization of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in clinical theranostics has rapidly advanced in the past decade. In November 2018, the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) held a workshop on “EVs in Clinical Theranostic”. Here, we report the conclusions of roundtable discussions on the current advancement in the analysis technologies and we provide some guidelines to researchers in the field to consider the use of EVs in clinical application. The main challenges and the requirements for EV separation and characterization strategies, quality control and clinical investigation were discussed to promote the application of EVs in future clinical studies.

description: Background: Pathological forms of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) are present in motor neurons of almost all amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients, and mutations in TDP-43 are also present in ALS. Loss and gain of TDP-43 functions are implicated in pathogenesis, but the mechanisms are unclear. While the RNA functions of TDP-43 have been widely investigated, its DNA binding roles remain unclear. However, recent studies have implicated a role for TDP-43 in the DNA damage response. Methods: We used NSC-34 motor neuron-like cells and primary cortical neurons expressing wildtype TDP-43 or TDP-43 ALS associated mutants (A315T, Q331K), in which DNA damage was induced by etoposide or H2O2 treatment. We investigated the consequences of depletion of TDP-43 on DNA repair using small interfering RNAs. Specific non homologous end joining (NHEJ) reporters (EJ5GFP and EJ2GFP) and cells lacking DNA-dependent serine/threonine protein kinase (DNA-PK) were used to investigate the role of TDP-43 in DNA repair. To investigate the recruitment of TDP-43 to sites of DNA damage we used single molecule super-resolution microscopy and a co-immunoprecipitation assay. We also investigated DNA damage in an ALS transgenic mouse model, in which TDP-43 accumulates pathologically in the cytoplasm. We also examined fibroblasts derived from ALS patients bearing the TDP-43 M337V mutation for evidence of DNA damage. Results: We demonstrate that wildtype TDP-43 is recruited to sites of DNA damage where it participates in classical NHEJ DNA repair. However, ALS-associated TDP-43 mutants lose this activity, which induces DNA damage. Furthermore, DNA damage is present in mice displaying TDP-43 pathology, implying an active role in neurodegeneration. Additionally, DNA damage triggers features typical of TDP-43 pathology; cytoplasmic mis-localisation and stress granule formation. Similarly, inhibition of NHEJ induces TDP-43 mis-localisation to the cytoplasm. Conclusions: This study reveals that TDP-43 functions in DNA repair, but loss of this function triggers DNA damage and is associated with key pathological features of ALS.

description: Although static bibliographies or lists of art and architecture resources on library guides hold value for research, they often do not attract much attention. This presentation demonstrates through several case studies how librarians at Oklahoma State University reinvigorated several text-only resources on art and architecture in Oklahoma with basic digital humanities tools. The new interactive features allow mapping and connections via tribal affiliations, and by using tools that support structured and linked data, researchers can discover related resources that provide additional context, especially about Indigenous material culture and local history, such as Indigenous art collections and Indigenous news sources.

description: © 2020 The Authors. The Plant Journal published by Society for Experimental Biology and John Wiley & Sons Ltd Barley (Hordeum vulgare L) grain is comparatively rich in (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan, a source of fermentable dietary fibre that protects against various human health conditions. However, low grain (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan content is preferred for brewing and distilling. We took a reverse genetics approach, using CRISPR/Cas9 to generate mutations in members of the Cellulose synthase-like (Csl) gene superfamily that encode known (HvCslF6 and HvCslH1) and putative (HvCslF3 and HvCslF9) (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan synthases. Resultant mutations ranged from single amino acid (aa) substitutions to frameshift mutations causing premature stop codons, and led to specific differences in grain morphology, composition and (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan content. (1,3;1,4)-β-Glucan was absent in the grain of cslf6 knockout lines, whereas cslf9 knockout lines had similar (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan content to wild-type (WT). However, cslf9 mutants showed changes in the abundance of other cell-wall-related monosaccharides compared with WT. Thousand grain weight (TGW), grain length, width and surface area were altered in cslf6 knockouts, and to a lesser extent TGW in cslf9 knockouts. cslf3 and cslh1 mutants had no effect on grain (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan content. Our data indicate that multiple members of the CslF/H family fulfil important functions during grain development but, with the exception of HvCslF6, do not impact the abundance of (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan in mature grain.

description: Zines are easy and affordable to make and distribute. While there has been scholarship on acquiring and preserving zines in Libraries, Archives, and Museums (LAMS), less has been studied about LAMS workers making zines in these contexts. With a return to campus after the COVID-19 pandemic, zines proved to be a fun way to engage and inform patrons about the library, promote services and resources, and build community. The authors are asking research questions, including: Why make zines? How are other information professionals in LAMS making zines to promote services and resources, and support research, teaching, and learning in these contexts? What are the benefits and challenges of zine-making in these contexts? The poster features two case studies of zine-making in art libraries, as well as suggestions for zine-making topics in LAMS. This poster also promotes a larger survey on zine-making in LAMS conducted by Emma Metcalfe Hurst. Survey respondents will be invited to share digital copies of their zines which will be made available on a public website to help LIS workers get started with zine-making, inspire ideas, and connect LIS zinesters. Viewers are invited to take the survey at ARLIS using a QR code on the poster.

description: © 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Hepatic glutathione synthesis and antioxidant protection are critically important for efficient detoxification processes in response to metabolic challenges. However, this biosynthetic pathway, regulated by nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2), previously demonstrated paradoxical repression following exposure to glucocorticoid stress hormones in cultured hepatic cells. Therefore, the present study used an in vivo model of sub-acute psychological stress to investigate the relationship between hepatic corticosteroid regulation and antioxidant systems. Male Wistar rats were kept under control conditions or subjected to six hours of restraint stress applied for 1 or 3 days (n = 8 per group) after which the liver was isolated for assays of oxidative/nitrosative status and expression of corticosteroid regulatory and Nrf2-antioxidant response element pathway members. A single stress exposure produced a significant increase in the expression of corticosterone reactivator, 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-Hsd1), while the 11β-Hsd2 isozyme and corticosteroid-binding globulin were down-regulated following stress, indicative of an elevated availability of active corticosterone. Exposure to restraint significantly decreased hepatic concentrations of total cysteine thiols and the antioxidant reduced glutathione on Day 1 and increased 3-nitrotyrosinated and carbonylated proteins on Day 3, suggestive of oxidative/nitrosative stress in the liver following stress exposure. Conversely, there was a sustained down-regulation of Nrf2 mRNA and protein in addition to significant reductions in downstream glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (Gclc), the rate-limiting enzyme in glutathione synthesis, on Day 1 and 3 of stress treatment. Interestingly, other antioxidant genes including superoxide dismutase 1 and 2, and glutathione peroxidase 4 were significantly up-regulated following an episode of restraint stress. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicate that increased expression of 11β-Hsd1, indicative of elevated tissue glucocorticoid concentrations, may impair the Nrf2-dependent antioxidant response.

description: Inter-professional collaboration is a process in which health professionals from different disciplines work together, sharing their ideas and opinions to plan evidence-based care. Nurses and doctors spend most of their time providing direct patient care. Therefore, effective interprofessional collaboration may be important in ensuring safe and effective patient care. There are no systematic reviews that have evaluated the association between nurse–doctor collaboration and patient outcomes in medical and surgical settings. We will conduct a systematic search of five key databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycInfo, CINAHL, and the Cochrane register. We will include observational and experimental research that tests the association between levels of inter-professional collaboration and medical and surgical inpatient mortality. Two reviewers will independently conduct title and abstract, full-text screening, and data extraction. The Effective Public Health Practice (EPHPP) tool will be used to determine the quality of the included studies. If sufficient studies are available, we will undertake a meta-analysis. The protocol is registered with the international prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO-CRD42019133543).
