description: A previously unreported gallocatechin glycoside, (2 R,3S) 4′-O-methyl-gallocatechin-3-O-α-ʟ-rhamnopyranoside (1) and an unseparable mixture of two previously undescribed dihydromyricetin glycosides, (2 R,3R) 4′-O-methyl-dihydromyricetin-3-O-α-ʟ-rhamnopyranoside (2a) and (2 R,3S) 4′-O-methyl-dihydromyricetin-3-O-α-ʟ-rhamnopyranoside (2 b) along with three known compounds were isolated from the n-butanol soluble fraction of the stem bark of Olax subscorpioidea Oliv. Their structures were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analyses, including 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 1H-1H COSY, HSQC, HMBC, NOESY, HR-ESI-MS and chemical methods. The crude ethanol extract, the fractions, and some of the isolated compounds were screened for their antioxidant and antibacterial activities. They showed significant antioxidant activities with EC50 ranging from 6.29 to 18.19 µg/mL in 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method and EC50 ranging from 85.77 to 86.39 mmol FeSO4/g in ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) methods compared with 2.29 µg/mL and 3.52 mmol FeSO4/g for the positive control (ʟ-ascorbic acid). Nevertheless, no inhibition was observed against the tested bacterial strains at a MIC less than 256 μg/mL.

Assessment Tool

description: Introduction The Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) is an instrument to assess the understandability and actionability of patient education materials (PEMs). It has two versions: PEMAT-P for printable materials and PEMAT-A/V for audio-visual materials. This study aimed to determine internal consistency reliability of the Bahasa Malaysia version of PEMAT, designated as PEMAT-P(M) and PEMAT-A/V(M). Methodology This was a cross-sectional study involving nine health care workers from various health disciplines involved in provision of patient education at the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) health facilities as raters to evaluate 13 printable PEMs and 13 audio-visual PEMs using PEMAT-P(M) and PEMAT-A/V(M) respectively. Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α) was used to determine PEMAT(M)'s internal consistency reliability. Results Internal consistency reliability of PEMAT(M) domains was high (α > 0.70) for most raters, except actionability domain for several raters. The corrected item-total correlations (CITC) were at least 0.20 for most items. Deletion of any item from PEMAT-P(M) and PEMAT-A/V(M) did not cause substantial increase of α value of most items. Therefore, removal of any item from PEMAT-P(M) and PEMAT-A/V(M) was not indicated. Discussion / Conclusion Lower α values (< 0.70) actionability domain could be attributed to low number of actionability items in PEMAT-P(M) (7 items) and PEMAT-A/V(M) (4 items). Positive CITC of at least 0.20 indicated good correlation with other items in their respective domain, and most items correlated well with the total score and the scale overall. In conclusion, PEMAT-P(M) and PEMAT-A/V(M) demonstrated acceptable internal consistency reliability for measuring understandability and actionability of PEMs developed in Bahasa Malaysia.

description: We review our recent work on spin injection, transport and relaxation in graphene. The spin injection and transport in single layer graphene (SLG) were investigated using nonlocal magnetoresistance (MR) measurements. Spin injection was performed using either transparent contacts (Co/SLG) or tunneling contacts (Co/MgO/SLG). With tunneling contacts, the nonlocal MR was increased by a factor of ~1000 and the spin injection/detection efficiency was greatly enhanced from ~1% (transparent contacts) to ~30%. Spin relaxation was investigated on graphene spin valves using nonlocal Hanle measurements. For transparent contacts, the spin lifetime was in the range of 50-100 ps. The effects of surface chemical doping showed that for spin lifetimes on the order of 100 ps, impurity scattering (Au) was not the dominant mechanism for spin relaxation. While using tunneling contacts to suppress the contact-induced spin relaxation, we observed the spin lifetimes as long as 771 ps at room temperature, 1.2 ns at 4 K in SLG, and 6.2 ns at 20 K in bilayer graphene (BLG). Furthermore, contrasting spin relaxation behaviors were observed in SLG and BLG. We found that Elliot-Yafet spin relaxation dominated in SLG at low temperatures whereas Dyakonov-Perel spin relaxation dominated in BLG at low temperatures. Gate tunable spin transport was studied using the SLG property of gate tunable conductivity and incorporating different types of contacts (transparent and tunneling contacts). Consistent with theoretical predictions, the nonlocal MR was proportional to the SLG conductivity for transparent contacts and varied inversely with the SLG conductivity for tunneling contacts. Finally, bipolar spin transport in SLG was studied and an electron-hole asymmetry was observed for SLG spin valves with transparent contacts...

description: Introduction: Mobile health (mHealth) apps can aid in managing health related conditions. This study aimed to explore the usage of the MHealth apps among diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. Methodology: Cross-sectional study involving self-administration of questionnaire among Type II DM adult patients in nine Health Clinics in Kinta District, Ipoh in November 2020. Patients capable of using smart devices were included in the study after obtaining informed consent. Results: Response rate was 82.6% (295/333). Majority of the patients were female (54.9%), Malay (58.3%), married (87.8%), secondary educated (53.2%), employed (44.7%) and mean age 53.8 (SD: 12.38) years old. Hypertension (58.0%) and hyperlipidaemia (42.7%) were common comorbidities. Patients were on 8.2 years (SD: 7.01) for DM treatment. Smart devices were used for 3.6 hours (SD: 3.38) on daily basis and for social interaction (91.2%). Forty patients (13.6%) have used MHealth apps. Among users, social media (65.0%) was the influential factor. DM apps were blood sugar measurements (37.5%) and medication reminders (22.5%). Preferred features were DM reading materials (77.5%), videos (45.0%) and online interaction with healthcare professionals (35.0%). 45.0% perceived apps were very useful (45.0%) but requires assistance. Non-users were unaware about the availability of MHealth apps (70.2%) and unsure how to start (22.4%). 22.0% would like to rely on regular health follow-ups in health facilities and worried of data security (7.5%). However, 49.0% will consider using MHealth apps. Employment, multiple comorbidities and patients' awareness were significantly associated with the usage of MHealth apps (AOR>1.0, p<0.05). Discussion/Conclusion: One in seven DM patients use mHealth apps for DM self-management. [Disclaimer: Abstract text might vary slightly from what is displayed in the e-poster]

description: The effect of temperature and density dependence of the asymmetric nuclear matter properties is studied within the extended relativistic mean field (ERMF) model, which includes the contribution from the self and mixed interaction terms by using different parametrizations obtained by varying the neutron skin thickness $Δ$r and $ω$-meson self-coupling ($ζ$). We observed that the symmetry energy and its slope and incompressibility coefficients decrease with increasing temperatures up to saturation densities. The ERMF parametrizations were employed to obtain a new set of equations of state (EOS) of the protoneutron star (PNS) with and without inclusion of hyperons. In our calculations, in comparison with cold compact stars, we obtained that the gravitational mass of the protoneutron star with and without hyperons increased by $\sim 0.4M_{\odot}$ and its radius increased by $\sim 3$km. Whereas in case of the rotating PNS, the mass shedding limit decreased with increasing temperature, and this suggested that the keplerian frequency of the PNS, at T = 10 MeV should be smaller by $14-20%$ for the EOS with hyperon, as compared to the keplerian frequency of a cold compact star.

description: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) causes tuberculosis (TB) and remains one of the leading causes of mortality due to an infectious pathogen. Host immune responses have been implicated in driving the progression from infection to severe lung disease. We analyzed longitudinal RNA sequencing (RNAseq) data from the whole blood of 74 TB progressors whose samples were grouped into four six-month intervals preceding diagnosis (the GC6-74 study). We additionally analyzed RNAseq data from an independent cohort of 90 TB patients with positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scan results which were used to categorize them into groups with high and low levels of lung damage (the Catalysis TB Biomarker study). These groups were compared to non-TB controls to obtain a complete whole blood transcriptional profile for individuals spanning from early stages of M.tb infection to TB diagnosis. The results revealed a steady increase in the number of genes that were differentially expressed in progressors at time points closer to diagnosis with 278 genes at 13-18 months, 742 at 7-12 months and 5,131 detected 1-6 months before diagnosis and 9,205 detected in TB patients. A total of 2,144 differentially expressed genes were detected when comparing TB patients with high and low levels of lung damage. There was a large overlap in the genes upregulated in progressors 1-6 months before diagnosis (86%) with those in TB patients. A comprehensive pathway analysis revealed a potent activation of neutrophil and platelet mediated defenses including neutrophil and platelet degranulation, and NET formation at both time points. These pathways were also enriched in TB patients with high levels of lung damage compared to those with low. These findings suggest that neutrophils and platelets play a critical role in TB pathogenesis, and provide details of the timing of specific effector mechanisms that may contribute to TB lung pathology.

description: Introduction According to studies, social media is an alternate instrument for patient satisfaction surveys and is linked to a few quality care indicators. In Malaysia, however, there is little evidence to back it up. We hope to find a relationship between public hospital patient satisfaction and social media ratings, as well as a link between hospital accreditation and online patient satisfaction. Methodology We applied a cross-sectional design and gathered information from the official Facebook pages of 48 Malaysian public hospitals, 25 of which are accredited. Between 2018 and 2019, all patient experiences were collected through Facebook Review on the FB page. In Facebook Reviews, a customer recommendation was characterized as an online patient satisfaction. Using SPSS software, data were analyzed using Spearman correlation and logistic regression, with confounding variables adjusted for. Results The link between MOH-hospital patient satisfaction and online patient satisfaction was found to be significant and moderate (r = 0.35, p = 0.02). Hospital variables such as urban location (OR 1.85 (95%CI 1.40,2.43), p<0.001), tertiary hospital (OR 1.62 (95 %CI 1.12, 2.35), p=0.01), and hospital past Facebook ratings (OR 1.14 (95%CI: 1.06,1.23), p<0.01) were significantly related to patient satisfaction. When other covariates were adjusted for, however, hospital accreditation was not significantly linked with online patient satisfaction (AOR 0.95 (95%CI 0.77, 1.17), p=0.63). Conclusion This ground-breaking study demonstrates that Facebook reviews can assist hospitals with real-time insight on the quality of their service and patient experience. Accreditation, meanwhile, remains a necessary and frequently compulsory quality improvement exercise to improve patient outcomes.

description: In recent years, Roe-type schemes based on different ideas have been developed for all-speed flows, such as the preconditioned Roe, the All-Speed Roe, Thornber's modified Roe and the LM-Roe schemes. This work explores why these schemes succeed or fail with the accuracy and checkerboard problems. Comparison and analysis show that the accuracy and checkerboard problems are caused by the order of the sound speed being too large and too small in the coefficients of the velocity-derivative and pressure-derivative dissipation terms, respectively. These problems can be resolved by choosing coefficients with zero-order sound speed. In addition, to avoid the negative effects of the global cut-off strategy on accuracy while maintaining computational stability, the sound speed terms in the numerator of the coefficients can be determined by local variables, while those in the denominator remain the global cut-off. Two novel schemes are proposed as examples to demonstrate how these ideas can be applied to construct more satisfactory schemes for all-speed flows. Asymptotic analysis and numerical experiments support the theoretical analysis and the rules obtained in the work.

description: We use high spatial resolution observations and numerical simulations to study the velocity distribution of solar photospheric magnetic bright points. The observations were obtained with the Rapid Oscillations in the Solar Atmosphere instrument at the Dunn Solar Telescope, while the numerical simulations were undertaken with the MURaM code for average magnetic fields of 200 G and 400 G. We implemented an automated bright point detection and tracking algorithm on the dataset, and studied the subsequent velocity characteristics of over 6000 structures, finding an average velocity of approximately 1 km/s, with maximum values of 7 km/s. Furthermore, merging magnetic bright points were found to have considerably higher velocities, and significantly longer lifetimes, than isolated structures. By implementing a new and novel technique, we were able to estimate the background magnetic flux of our observational data, which is consistent with a field strength of 400 G.

description: We investigate ground state properties of the half-filled staggered-flux Hubbard model on a square lattice. Energy gaps to charge and spin excitations and magnetic as well as dimer orders are calculated as a function of interaction strength $U/t$ by means of constrained-path quantum Monte Carlo method. It is found that the system is a semi-metal at $U/t\lesssim 5.6$ and a Mott insulator with long-range antiferromagnetic order at $U/t \gtrsim 6.6$. In the range $5.6\lesssim U/t\lesssim 6.6$, the ground state is an correlated insulator where both magnetic and dimer orders are absent. Furthermore, spin excitation in the intermediate phase appears to be gapless, and the measured spin-spin correlation function exhibits power-law decaying behavior. The data suggest that the non-magnetic ground state is a possible candidate for the putative algebraic spin liquid.

description: In this paper, we have obtained motion equations for a wide class of one-dimensional singularities in 2-D ideal hydrodynamics. The simplest of them, are well known as point vortices. More complicated singularities correspond to vorticity point dipoles. It has been proved that point multipoles of a higher order (quadrupoles and more) are not the exact solutions of two-dimensional ideal hydrodynamics. The motion equations for a system of interacting point vortices and point dipoles have been obtained. It is shown that these equations are Hamiltonian ones and have three motion integrals in involution. It means the complete integrability of two-particle system, which has a point vortex and a point dipole.

description: Introduction Reflective practice is a key skill for nurses as professional development is becoming major issues for the nursing profession. Objective This study aims to evaluate nurses' awareness and application of the reflective practice as a tool for the meaningful practice among nurses in public hospitals. Methodology A cross-sectional descriptive study used a self-administered likert scale questionnaire and selected stratified random sampling to 246 registered nurses who directly contact and provide care to the patient in Hospital Pakar Sultanah Fatimah. IBM SPSS version 22 was used for data analysis. Results and Discussion In this study, nurses accepted the reflective practice implication because all of these items with the means value are 4. The highest perceptions were contributing, which is "it motivates to be a more as experienced nurse" with a mean value of 4.17. Majority of the nurses shown that they need orientation to the placement setting as new staff with a mean of 4.2 to determine a reflective learning environment. To identify support in reflective learning of continuing their professional development, three items with the same highest mean 4.13, such as policies procedures and guidelines, support and guide nursing practice. This study has found that mentor/senior nurse supports successfully implementing reflective practice in the clinical area. There was a weak correlation between work experience years and experienced nurse with r =0.029. Conclusion To practice evidence-based nursing, it is crucial for all nurses to engage in reflective practice, where they must adapt to new knowledge in the field of health.

description: This project will use an online survey experiment to test how different types of narratives related to the trustworthiness of public health institutions differentially affect respondent perception of public health institutional trustworthiness and induce more or less social media engagement. Respondents will be randomly assigned to exposure to one of five simulated social media posts, each containing a user’s comment about a referenced health recommendation from the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (AHRQ). The five conditions vary by the particular type of trust-related narrative used within the user’s comments: 1 - control (simple announcement of the AHRQ recommendation); 2 - contradiction (content contradicting the veracity of the AHRQ recommendation); 3 - competence (contradiction content + narrative about the AHRQ lacking competence); 4 - pharma (contradiction + narrative about the AHRQ being influenced by ties to pharmaceutical/biotech companies); 5 - partisan (contradiction + narrative about the AHRQ being influenced by “out-party” politicians). Following exposure to these simulated posts, respondent emotional reactions, social media engagement intentions, perceptions of AHRQ trustworthiness and AHRQ recommendation veracity, and perceptions of the trustworthiness of the author of the post. In addition, I measure whether the different types of narratives differentially affect how respondents react in the aforementioned ways to a subsequent social media post in which the AHRQ attempts a rebuttal by affirming/defending the veracity of its recommendation and its trustworthiness. Secondary analyses will include exploring whether trustworthiness perceptions mediate veracity perceptions and whether anger mediates social media engagement, as well as whether partisanship and news media consumption patterns moderate key outcomes.

description: Processes that promote the formation of dense cold clouds in the interstellar media of galaxies are reviewed. Those that involve background stellar mass include two-fluid instabilities, spiral density wave shocking, and bar accretion. Young stellar pressures trigger gas accumulation on the periphery of cleared cavities, which often take the form of rings by the time new stars form. Stellar pressures also trigger star formation in bright-rim structures, directly squeezing the pre-existing clumps in nearby clouds and clearing out the lower density gas between them. Observations of these processes are common. How they fit into the empirical star formation laws, which relate the star formation rate primarily to the gas density, is unclear. Most likely, star formation follows directly from the formation of cold dense gas, whatever the origin of that gas. If the average pressure from the weight of the gas layer is large enough to produce a high molecular fraction in the ambient medium, then star formation should follow from a variety of processes that combine and lose their distinctive origins. Pressurized triggering might have more influence on the star formation rate in regions with low average molecular fraction. This implies, for example, that the arm/interarm ratio of star formation efficiency should be higher in the outer regions of galaxies than in the main disks.

description: This transdisciplinary stakeholder workshop to explore research priorities of the maritime industry was held in Hamburg at the SMM–the Shipbuilding, Machinery and Marine Technology trade fair–from 6 to 9 September 2022. Project activities comprised holding conference sessions, discussions with participants at a project exhibition stand, and the distribution of an online questionnaire to determine research needs and priorities. The outcome showed the primary importance of real-time data on key environmental conditions in Polar waters, especially on sea ice, and accurate forecasting of such conditions. Industry representatives expressed a high priority for research to minimise the environmental impacts of polar operations. They were also interested in research to identify policies and frameworks that will ensure safe, sustainable, and just operations, and also to understand the impacts of changing environmental conditions on risk and vulnerability. Industry representatives also gave high priority to research on pollution caused by shipping and related industrial operations, as well as to decreasing anthropogenic noise associated with maritime operations.

description: In this paper, we study wave properties of isothermal plasma for the Schwarzschild de-Sitter black hole in a Veselago medium. We use ADM 3+1 formalism to formulate general relativistic magnetohydrodynamical (GRMHD) equations for the Schwarzschild de-Sitter spacetime in Rindler coordinates. Further, Fourier analysis of the linearly perturbed GRMHD equations for the rotating (non-magnetized and magnetized) background is taken whose determinant leads to a dispersion relation. We investigate wave properties by using graphical representation of the wave vector, the refractive index, change in refractive index, phase and group velocities. Also, the modes of wave dispersion are explored. The results indicate the existence of the Veselago medium.

The EPPP distribution function is calculated for an arbitrary time dependence of the electric field in the multiphoton domain (adiabaticity parameter gamma >> 1). The dependence on the field strength, the form and spectrum of the field pulse is investigated on the basis both analytical and numerical methods. The obtained results can be useful for examining some observable secondary processes associated with the dynamical Schwinger effect.

description: We present Spitzer Space Telescope mid-infrared IRS spectra, supplemented by ground-based optical observations, of the classical novae V1974 Cyg, V382 Vel, and V1494 Aql more than 11, 8, and 4 years after outburst respectively. The spectra are dominated by forbidden emission from neon and oxygen, though in some cases, there are weak signatures of magnesium, sulfur, and argon. We investigate the geometry and distribution of the late time ejecta by examination of the emission line profiles. Using nebular analysis in the low density regime, we estimate lower limits on the abundances in these novae. In V1974 Cyg and V382 Vel, our observations confirm the abundance estimates presented by other authors and support the claims that these eruptions occurred on ONe white dwarfs. We report the first detection of neon emission in V1494 Aql and show that the system most likely contains a CO white dwarf.

description: Introduction The number of smartphone users worldwide is estimated to be 3.6 billion, which is approximately 46% of the entire population. Hence, Smartphone addiction has also been reported globally among frequent users. Literature review reveals that smartphone addiction was found to be associated with mental health issues, but there is a lack of studies done to look at smartphone addiction and psychological health among adults in Malaysia. Methodology A cross sectional study was conducted among 381 adults attending two public primary care clinics in Seberang Jaya Tengah. Demographic data and potential factors ( total 17 factors were collected) associated with smartphone addiction was collected with a self-administered questionnaire, validated Dass-21 questionnaire and Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS). Results Prevalence of smartphone addiction was 56.4%. Using multiple logistic analysis, we found Malay, Chinese and anxiety symptoms were significantly associated with smartphone addiction. Discussion: Prevalence of smartphone addiction was comparable to other local studies, but much higher as compared internationally . Malays and Chinese had higher prevalence of smartphone addiction, similar to another local study reporting that Malay students used smartphones for longer duration compared to Chinese and Indian/Other students. The significant association between anxiety and smartphone addiction was in congruence with several other studies Conclusion Intervention on education of awareness of smartphone addiction and to increase screening of mental illness among smartphone addiction are suggested especially in primary care settings.

description: Human inspection is the typical way that vital statistics like birth and death are recorded in most countries. The manual recording of births and deaths is labor-intensive, and it is not feasible for huge populations that are growing rapidly. Erroneous birth and death registration records have the potential to create a number of difficulties, including the expense of registering a child, the possibility that both the parent and the kid may lose their registration certificate, and inaccurate demographic figures. Birth and death registration became an issue of utmost importance as a result of difficulties encountered while obtaining accurate population statistics. Accurate population statistics are essential in social service planning for any government and in ensuring that adequate resources and budgets are made available to address the needs of the populace.

description: We introduce finite ramified self-affine substrates in two dimensions with a set of appropriate hopping rates between nearest-neighbor sites, where the diffusion of a single random walk presents an anomalous {\it anisotropic} behavior modulated by log-periodic oscillations. The anisotropy is revealed by two different random walk exponents, $ν_x$ and $ν_y$, in the {\it x} and {\it y} direction, respectively. The values of these exponents, as well as the period of the oscillation, are analytically obtained and confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations.

description: Introduction Health literacy (HL) determines the motivation and ability of individuals to access, understand, appraise and utilise information in ways which promote and maintain good health. Limited health literacy leads to poorer health outcomes and often incurs higher healthcare expenditures. Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted across Sabah public health facilities between February and October 2020. Health literacy was measured using 12-item Short Form Health Literacy Survey(HLS-SF-12) and comprised of 3 domains (health care, disease prevention and health promotion). The HL index score was categorised as 'limited'(0-33), 'sufficient'(>33-42) and 'excellent'(>42-50). Results A total of 337 patients were recruited. About half were male(n=172, 51%) with mean age of 52.6±12.3 years old. The top 3 comorbids were hypertension(n=285, 84.6%), dyslipidemia(n=196, 58.2%) and diabetes mellitus(n=161, 47.8%). Health information was mainly accessed from television(n=285, 84.6%), smartphone(n=253, 75.1%) and radio(n=161, 47.8%). The median HL index score was 31.94(IQR 25-37.5), with 54.6% patients(n=184) having limited health literacy. The lowest median score was found in the context of disease prevention, 11(IQR 10-13) as well as when judging health information, 8(IQR 7-9). Age (adjusted b: -0.14), owning insurance (adjusted b: 3.19) and using smartphone to access health information (adjusted b: 6.93) demonstrated significant relationship with HL index. Final model equation of HL index was found to be 32.58 - (0.14*age) + (3.19*insurance) + (6.93*smartphone). Conclusion The limited health literacy level observed in Sabah indicated the need of tailoring interventional programmes to vulnerable groups, especially the elderly. The use of digital platform, particularly smartphone, should be enhanced in disseminating health-related information and educating the public on critical judgement skills.
