Identifying Pediatric Emergence Delirium by Using the PAED Scale: A Quality Improvement Project

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Pediatric emergence delirium is a postoperative phenomenon characterized by aberrant cognitive and psychomotor behavior, which can place the patient and health care personnel at risk for injury. A common tool for identifying emergence delirium is the Level of Consciousness‐Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (LOC‐RASS), although it has not been validated for use in the pediatric population. The Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale (PAED) is a newly validated tool to measure emergence delirium in children. We chose to implement and evaluate the effectiveness and fidelity of using the PAED Scale to identify pediatric emergence delirium in one eight‐bed postanesthesia care unit in comparison with the traditional LOC‐RASS. The overall incidence of pediatric emergence delirium found by using the LOC‐RASS with a retrospective chart review (3%) was significantly lower than the incidence found by using the LOC‐RASS (7.5%) and PAED Scale (11.5%) during the implementation period. Our findings suggest that the PAED Scale may be a more sensitive measure of pediatric emergence delirium, and, in the future, we recommend that health care personnel at our facility use the PAED Scale rather than the LOC‐RASS.
Data from Activity and Safety of Geptanolimab (GB226) for Patients with Unresectable, Recurrent, or Metastatic Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma: A Phase II, Single-arm Study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

<div>AbstractPurpose:<p>Patients with alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) are rare and have few treatment options. We assessed the activity of geptanolimab (GB226), a fully humanized programmed cell death protein 1 antibody, for patients with unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic ASPS.</p>Patients and Methods:<p>We conducted this multicenter, single-arm, phase II study (Gxplore-005, NCT03623581) in patients aged 18–75 years who had unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic ASPS at 11 sites in China. Patients received intravenous geptanolimab (3 mg/kg) every 2 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was objective response rate assessed by independent review committee (IRC) per RECIST 1.1 in the full analysis set population.</p>Results:<p>Between September 6, 2018 and March 6, 2019, we enrolled and treated 37 patients with 23 (62.2%) having received prior systemic treatment. Fourteen [37.8%; 95% confidence interval (CI), 22.5–55.2] of 37 patients had an objective response assessed by IRC with a 6-month duration of response rate of 91.7%. Median progression-free survival was 6.9 months (95% CI, 5.0–not reached) and disease control was achieved in 32 (86.5%; 95% CI, 71.2–95.5) patients. Three of 37 patients reported grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), including anemia, hypophysitis, and proteinuria [one each (2.7%)]. No grade 4 TRAEs were observed. Two (5.4%) patients discontinued treatment due to TRAEs (one with hypophysitis and one with Mobitz type I atrioventricular block). The baseline percentage of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells was adversely associated with patient response (<i>P</i> = 0.031).</p>Conclusions:<p>Geptanolimab has clinically meaningful activity and a manageable safety profile in unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic ASPS.</p></div>
Role of Powder Metallurgical Processing on Mechanical Response of Nickel–Phosphorus‐Coated Graphene Nanoflakes/Titanium Matrix Composites

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Herein, the nickel–phosphorus‐coated graphene nanoflakes/Ti6Al4V composites (Ni‐P@GNFs/Ti6Al4V composites) are fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and hot isostatic pressing (HIP), respectively. The results show that the Ni‐P@GNFs/Ti6Al4V composites prepared by SPS, in which the agglomeration of Ni‐P@GNFs is weak and the size of α phase is small, possess improved mechanical properties relative to those of the Ni‐P@GNFs/Ti6Al4V composites prepared by HIP. The compressive yield strengths of Ni‐P@GNFs/Ti6Al4V composites prepared by SPS enhance from 1116.29 MPa (0 wt% GNFs) to 1367.33 MPa (1 wt% GNFs), and microhardness increases from 302.83 to 479.43 HV. The Ni‐P@GNFs/Ti6Al4V composites prepared by HIP reach a yield strength of 1299.59 MPa and microhardness of 410.10 HV. In addition, serious agglomeration of GNFs leads to a significant drop in ductility (from 47.47% to 25.76%) in the Ni‐P@GNFs/Ti6Al4V composites prepared by HIP.

Quantitative Histological Studies on the Parenchyma of Adrenal Glands of Marwari Sheep (Ovis aries)

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Adrenal glands collected from 36 adult male Marwari sheep were examined microscopically.The sections revealed that the cortex constituted the major component (56.88%) followed by the medulla (40.63%) and the capsule (2.49%). In the cortical zones, the zona glomerulosa cells were the smallest (diameter 13.91μm) with an intermediate sized nucleus (diameter 6.03 μm); whereas the fasciculata had the largest cells (diameter 18.57μm) with relatively larger nucleus (6.8 μm). The zona reticularis showed intermediate size cells (15.47μm diameter) but with the smallest nucleus (5.78 μm). The average nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio was 2.3, 2.73 and 2.67 in glomerulosa, fasciculata and reticularis, respectively. The medullary cells were however much larger and were more plumpy type with an average diameter of 36.15μm, a nuclear diameter of 8.74 μm and a nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio of 4.17. Thus indicating that the highest metabolic turn over was in the cells of medulla followed by that in the fasciculata, glomerulosa and reticularis in that order.

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Mentari Coffee SME’s are one of the SME’s that are engaged in processing coffee beans in Palembang. Based on the results of observations and interviews conducted, it is known that the applied marketing strategy is not optimal, causing low levels of marketing and benefits. The low level of marketing and the profit obtained result in the productivity of the marketing row low. Current marketing productivity is 1,1249. In formulating the right marketing strategy, SWOT analysis is used to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats faced by SME’s. Then the SWOT matrix is used to produce an improvement strategy, which is then developed using the marketing mix (7P). The implementation of improvements included product aspects (increasing the number of variants and types of products, making product logo stickers, providing varied prices, make the label the date of production, create standard operational production), price aspects provision of prices which vary), place aspect (increasing the number of channel stores), promotion aspects (advertising through Instagram, selling online through shopee), proccess aspect (increasing service facilities), people aspect (adding workers), and physical evidance aspect (provides a comfortable waiting room). Marketing productivity after the improvement implementation was 1.1431. From these data, there is an increase in marketing productivity by 1,82%
Worlding Bogotá’s Ciclovía

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

“Best practices” are either celebrated as inspirational examples that can spur policy change and learning in other places or critiqued as “one-size-fits-all” models that do not consider the complexity of local contexts. Less is known about the forms of power, governance, and legitimacy that are embedded in the construction and mobilization of certain policies as world policy models. This article critically examines the concept of “best practice” by analyzing the case of Bogotá’s Ciclovía, a weekly 70-mile street-closure program to promote urban biking and physical exercise. The analysis sheds light on the shifting rationalities and constellations of local and transnational actors, networks, and agendas that have shaped the program from its experimental beginnings in the 1970s through its construction as an international “best practice” in the 2000s. Las “mejores prácticas” suelen ser o bien presentadas como ejemplos inspiradores y creativos que pueden impulsar cambios políticos en otros lugares o criticadas como modelos “universales” que no toman en consideración la complejidad de los contextos locales. No obstante, se sabe relativamente poco sobre las formas de poder, gobernanza y legitimidad que están insertadas en la construcción y movilización de ciertos programas como modelos de política mundial. El artículo hace un examen crítico del concepto de “mejores prácticas” analizando el caso de la Ciclovía de Bogotá—un programa semanal de cierre de calles que promueve el ciclismo urbano y el ejercicio físico. El análisis arroja luz sobre las racionalidades cambiantes así como las diferentes constelaciones de actores, redes, y agendas locales y globales que le han dado forma al programa desde sus tímidos comienzos en los años 70 hasta su construcción como una “mejor práctica” internacional en los últimos años.
Establishment of an Artificial Neural Network Model Using Immune-Infiltration Related Factors for Endometrial Receptivity Assessment

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: A comprehensive clinical strategy for infertility involves treatment and, more importantly, post-treatment evaluation. As a component of assessment, endometrial receptivity does not have a validated tool. This study was anchored on immune factors, which are critical factors affecting embryonic implantation. We aimed at establishing novel approaches for assessing endometrial receptivity to guide clinical practice. Methods: Immune-infiltration levels in the GSE58144 dataset (n = 115) from GEO were analysed by digital deconvolution and validated by immunofluorescence (n = 23). Then, modules that were most associated with M1/M2 macrophages and their hub genes were selected by weighted gene co-expression network as well as univariate analyses and validated using the GSE5099 macrophage dataset and qPCR analysis (n = 19). Finally, the artificial neural network model was established from hub genes and its predictive efficacy validated using the GSE165004 dataset (n = 72). Results: Dysregulation of M1 to M2 macrophage ratio is an important factor contributing to defective endometrial receptivity. M1/M2 related gene modules were enriched in three biological processes in macrophages: antigen presentation, interleukin-1-mediated signalling pathway, and phagosome acidification. Their hub genes were significantly altered in patients and associated with ribosomal, lysosomal, and proteasomal pathways. The established model exhibited an excellent predictive value in both datasets, with an accuracy of 98.3% and an AUC of 0.975 (95% CI 0.945–1). Conclusions: M1/M2 polarization influences endometrial receptivity by regulating three gene modules, while the established ANN model can be used to effectively assess endometrial receptivity to inform pregnancy and individualized clinical management strategies.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Krishi Vigyan Kendra play an important role of information network development among the farmers and farm women through different training and extension programme. This empirical study was conducted to find out the role of Krishi Vigyan Kendra on information networks development of the farm women in sub Himalayan terai region of India and to identify the different factors influencing agricultural information network output of the farm women in terms of knowledge. The study was conducted in the Cooch Behar District of West Bengal with the help of an ex post facto research design. It is found from the study that social participation of farm women was high in case of the members of Self Help Groups, Mobility of the farm women were more in panchayat office. Majority of the farm women received farm information from farmers club/FPO, sources of informal farm information of the female farmers were higher in case of discussion with fellow farmers, mass media exposure of the farm women was higher in case of mobile phone and farm women visit the farm science centre whenever problems occur. It is also found from the study that the variables livestock possession, material possession, participation of FSC programme, communication skill, attitude of the farm women towards FSC scientist, mass media exposure, e resources exposure, decision making ability, type of family and occupation were influence more than 70% of the variability of the dependent variable agricultural information network output of the farm women. So, it is very essential for taking consideration above mentioned variable before implementation of any farm women orientated programme. It is revealed from the study that the residual errors were less in the regression model and there was some of variation that is not explained by the model. The research work would play important guidelines for expanding the information network in the field of agriculture through Krishi Vigyan Kendra.
Enantioselective analysis of monoterpene compounds in essential oils by stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE)–enantio‐MDGC–MS

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE), a recently introduced solventless extraction technique, was applied for the enantioselective analysis of chiral monoterpenes in tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil and thyme oil using enantioselective multidimensional gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (enantio‐MDGC–MS). In addition, headspace sorptive extraction (HSSE) and in vivo headspace sorptive extraction ( in vivo HSSE) of the chiral monoterpenes in three aromatic and medicinal plants, thyme [ Thymus vulgaris (L.)], eucalyptus [ Eucalyptus globulus (L.)] and tea tree [ Melaleuca alternifolia (C.)], was investigated and the results of the different sampling techniques were compared and discussed. This method was utilized in order to establish characteristic authenticity profiles of the essential oils. Moreover, the enantiomeric ratios of the major and minor chiral components emitted in living plants were determined. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Phylogeny of the subfamily Braconinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The phylogeny of the parasitic wasp subfamily Braconinae was estimated using both nuclear [28S rDNA] and mitochondrial [C01 and NADH1] genes along with morphological characters. The phylogenetic tree obtained from the nuclear 28S rDNA failed to resolve this subfamily as monophyletic and divided into two monophyletic tribes, the Aphrastobraconini and Braconini, with the Coeloidini in the middle as was established by previous studies. The Compsobraconides, Virgulibracon, Myosoma, Shelfordia and Atanycolus genus-groups were recovered as monophyletic. However, some tribes and genus groups, based on traditional classification, were not recovered as expected. Therefore, a character re-weighting criterion, devised by Goloboff, was used to downweight any noise in the data, though this procedure also revealed almost similar results. Both of the mitochondrial genes, C01 and NADH1, were also unable to recover a monophyletic Braconinae on their own. Although two different methods of phylogeny reconstruction, maximum parsimony and Bayesian analysis were used, similar results were obtained. However, both of the mitochondrial genes divided the genus Bracon into meaningful groups based on the geographic origin of the species sequenced. The combined analysis of nuclear [28S rDNA] and mitochondrial [NADH1] genes revealed Braconinae to be monophyletic and comprised two monophyletic tribes, Aphrastobraconini and Braconini. This combined analysis has recovered the genus Digonogastra and the Atanycolus-group of genera as monophyletic. The rooting of the phylogentic tree was different from the one obtained from the analysis of nuclear gene [28Sr DNA] alone and this is discussed in chapter 7.
How Are New Zealand Job Advertisements Perceived by Graduate Students From Mainland China: A Case Study

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The purposes of this study were (a) to explore how New Zealand job advertisements are perceived by graduate students from Mainland China, and (b) to identify if there are any potential areas for intercultural (mis)understanding. Since no studies have been published which have focused on this exact topic, this study will address a gap in the literature. The research design involved a qualitative approach, which consisted of interviews with participants, critical discourse analysis (CDA) of the job advertisements and intercultural discourse analysis. Interviews were used to collect descriptive data on how the postgraduate students ‘receive’ and ‘perceive’ the criteria the employer wants potential applicants to meet. The findings revealed that the Mandarin Chinese participants often found some of the terms used in the New Zealand advertisements quite ambiguous. They did not quite know what to make of those terms: they did not resonate with them. This increased their feelings of uncertainty as to what was expected of them and may have impacted their willingness to apply for the jobs advertised. The study also revealed that some of the lexical words and modal words obviously reflected what is required of applicants when they want to apply for the jobs. The design also included a comparative analysis of New Zealand and Mandarin Chinese job advertisements. Results indicated that people from different cultural backgrounds perceived similar or identical wording differently. Chinese applicants may misunderstand the covert meaning of New Zealand advertisements, and vice versa. Such points of difference affected the understanding of my participants who want to try a find a job in New Zealand. If they lack familiarity with intercultural and crosslinguistic differences, this may be reflected in the way they write their application and they may either not be selected for the interview, or not be able to do well in the interview. For future research, expanding the sample to a large group to look at how students ‘read’ and ‘perceive’ Chinese advertisements is suggested. It would be very useful to have some workshops specifically aimed at international students graduating from postgraduate courses and applying for jobs in New Zealand. If these students were “on the same page” as the employers and got the underlying, hidden meaning, they would definitely find it easier to succeed in an interview.
Cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus: Insights Into Its Natural Host Range, Genetic Variability, and Transmission Parameters

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV) (genus Crinivirus, family Closteroviridae) is implicated in cucurbit yellows disease (CYV), causing typical interveinal yellowing symptoms in leaves, and is transmitted by Bemisia tabaci Mediterranean (MED) and Middle East-Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1). Due to its recent report in cucurbit crops in Greece, field surveys were conducted during 2011-2016 to determine the presence of the virus in symptomatic cucurbits and alternative hosts among arable weed species. Results indicated the restricted spread of the virus and identified 13 weed species as CCYV hosts for the first time. Sequence analysis of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RNA1) coat and minor coat proteins (RNA2) revealed very low genetic diversity (<0.1%) among the Greek isolates. Transmission experiments were also conducted using B. tabaci MED with retention determined at four days, whereas transmission efficiency was positively correlated with the number of adults used, features linked to the virus semipersistent mode of transmission.
