Workplace empowerment and burnout in Canadian nephrology nurses.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Nephrology nurses, like nurses in other areas, are impacted by the stress in their work environment. As recruitment and retention issues become more apparent, research in the area of conditions of work life for nephrology nursing has emerged, as an important area of study. Burnout has been reported as high as one in every three nephrology nurses (Flynn, Thomas-Hawkins, & Clarke, 2009). This cross-sectional study examined the influence of empowerment on burnout. Total empowerment was negatively correlated with emotional exhaustion in the bivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that access to resources and nursing education had an influence on burnout for nephrology nurses. Access to resources was a significant negative predictor of burnout for nephrology nurses. Degree-prepared nurses were more likely to experience burnout. Application of these results by providing access to resources for nephrology nurses may impact on occupational burnout.
DAILY ACTIVITY BUDGET OF BANDED LANGUR (Presbytis femoralis) IN MALAYSIA

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Banded langur (Presbytis femoralis) is an endangered leaf-eating colobine, found in Johor and Pahang in Malaysia. However, with less than 500 individuals reported to be surviving in Johor, their behaviour and ecology remain unknown among primatologists.
This study provides the first systematic data on the daily activity budget of the species in Malaysia. Scan sampling technique was used to observe and record P. femoralis behaviour with 10 min interval starting from February 2018 to November 2018. The results are based
on 186 h and 20 min of direct observation in the wild. The animals spent most of the time for resting (43 ± 13%) followed by moving (26 ± 9%), feeding (26 ± 7%), social
activities (4 ± 3%), and others (1 ± 0%). Seasonality significantly influences the activity budget of the animals resulting in increased resting and moving in the non-fruiting season. Feeding activities decreased in the non-fruiting season compared with the fruiting season,
whereas social activities remained the same. We concluded that the daily activity budget of P. femoralis in this study portrays comparable behavior to other langurs in Malaysia that would help in conservation and management of the species in terms of understanding temporal and spatial requirements of P. femoralis in a highly fragmented habitat.
A dual function Parylene-based biomimetic tactile sensor and actuator for next generation mechanically responsive microelectrode arrays

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

We present the first multimodal Parylene-based biomimetic platform with the ability to measure tactile forces while simultaneously enabling active stimulation/recording of neural tissue via movable microelectrodes. A liquid-filled microchamber encapsulating interdigitated microelectrodes performs the dual functions of actuation and tactile sensing. The electrodes are impedance-based tactile sensing elements and sites for electrolytic gas generation for pneumatic control of microelectrode position. Impedance sensitivity of up to 1.7 %/mum and out-of-plane positioning up to 8 mum were demonstrated. We also report on the mechanotransduction of biomimetic channel structures.
LIGHT-REGULATED SEEDLING DEVELOPMENT

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Light is vital for plant growth and development: It provides energy for photosynthesis, but also reliable information on seasonal timing and local habitat conditions. Light sensing is therefore of paramount importance for plants. Thus, plants have evolved sophisticated light receptors and signaling networks that detect and respond to changes in light intensity, duration, and spectral quality. Environmental light signals can drive developmental tran-sitions such as germination and flowering, but they also continuously shape development to allow adaptation to the local habitat and microclimate. The ability to respond to a chang-ing and sometimes unfavorable environment underlies the huge success of plants. Much of this growth and developmental plasticity is achieved by light modulation of auxin signaling systems. In this article, we examine the connections between light and auxin that elicit local responses, long distance signaling, and coordinated growth between the shoot and root.
Development of "CALNEO C", the Light-weight DR Cassette Compatible with Conventional Cassette

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

We have developed a new digital radiography system FUJIFILM DR CALNEO C, of 384 × 460 mm in size and 14mm thick, equivalent to a CR (Computed Radiography) cassette. The other main features are the light-weight of 2.8 kg and high quality images with low dose. Since CALNEO C is the same size as a CR cassette, it can be set to an existing X-Ray Table and Stand. The 2.8 kg case having a light carbon & resin frame provides a user-friendly workflow to technologists. DQE (Detective Quantum Efficiency) of the ‘Irradiation Side Sampling (ISS) method’ FPD (Flat Panel Detector) shows a 1.7 times higher level than our existing model of FCR VELOCITY.
Blunt Dissection of the Axillary Flap through Double Mini-Incisions on Both Sides of the Axilla to Prevent Postoperative Hematoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical effect of treating axillary osmidrosis by trimming the apocrine glands under direct vision after blunt dissection of the axillary flap through double mini-incisions on both sides of the axilla to prevent postoperative hematoma. Methods: The clinical data of 108 patients with axillary osmidrosis were retrospectively analyzed. Treatment involved blunt dissection of the axillary flap through double mini-incisions and trimming of the apocrine glands under direct vision. The surgical duration, hematoma incidence, flap necrosis rate, incision healing rate, incision Vancouver Scar Scale score, comfort level, axillary odor cure rate, and satisfaction rating were all analyzed statistically. Results: The average surgical duration was 72.45 ± 5.71 minutes. The cure rate of axillary osmidrosis was 100%. Postoperative complications, including delayed incision healing 12 days after surgery (1 patient), a small hematoma (2 patients), and local flap necrosis (1 patient), were minor. No infection, malodor, or recurrence was observed. The visual analog scale scores were 8.53 ± 0.89 for patient comfort, 8.87 ± 0.98 for patient satisfaction, and 0.84 ± 0.99 for the incision. Conclusions: This retrospective study demonstrated that trimming of apocrine glands after blunt dissection of the axillary flap through double mini-incisions on both sides of the axilla effectively controlled bleeding. This approach significantly reduces the complication rate of axillary osmidrosis surgery and ensures the complete trimming of apocrine glands, eradicating axillary odor and maintaining a good appearance.
Probabilistic framework for risk analysis of power system small-signal stability

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

In power system planning and operation studies, conventional methodologies are still largely used for small-signal stability analysis under the deterministic framework. Nevertheless, no information concerning the small-signal instability risk can be derived and the obtained results are too conservative since deterministic approaches are unable to properly reflect the existing uncertainties in real power systems. Hence, there is a need to develop new approaches which can handle a wider range of operating conditions and consequently capture all of the possible scenarios that may lead to insecure conditions. The present paper explores relevant issues associated with the conditions for application of the Monte Carlo method (MC) in probabilistic eigenanalysis (PE), namely the selection of: a suitable sampling technique for MC-based PE; and a stopping rule which is sufficient to achieve some specified confidence level. The proposed MC-based PE approach provides probabilistic indexes for small-signal stability assessment and enhancement. Several power systems of different sizes and with different small-signal stability performances are used to investigate the feasibility of the probabilistic indexes as well as to compare MC-based PE with an analytical probabilistic approach based on the two-point estimation method (TPE).
Effects of Calcium Sulfate on Swelling Potential of an Expansive Clay

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The unique chemical features of calcium sulfate are largely manifested by its phase transformation due to the reversible hydration-dehydration reaction. Due to the harsh climatic and environmental conditions in eastern Saudi Arabia, such phase changes add to the potential swelling hazards of local expansive clays. The adsorption of water by expansive soils and the hydration of anhydrite to gypsum are the sources of much damage to foundations throughout the world. This paper attempts to assess the swelling caused by the interaction of calcium sulfate phases, especially gypsum and anhydrite, with expansive clay. Such assessment was primarily based on studying the geotechnical, mineralogical, and volume change characteristics of calcium sulfate-bearing soils. X-ray and thermal analyses were used to estimate the type and amount of minerals during phase transformation of calcium sulfate. The swelling potential was determined using an improved version of the simple odometer and constant-volume tests. The conventional odometer is the device usually used in these tests. However, the size of soil samples, the complete confinement, and the rigidity of the conventional odometer imposes a serious limitation on the application of the laboratory results to actual field problems. Therefore, the authors investigated the use of a large-scale odometer with different mold sizes and shapes on the swelling potential of some mixtures of expansive clay and calcium sulfate phases. In addition, the soil fabric of these mixtures was investigated using scanning electron microscopy to explain the volume change behavior. The results of this investigation indicated that the swelling potential of clay-calcium sulfate mixtures decreased as the percentage of calcium sulfate was increased, and this reduction was more pronounced when gypsum was used. Swelling pressure was observed to be the highest in the conventional odometer and lowest in the large-scale square odometer mold.

Urinary excretion of luteinizing hormone during cycle disturbances and after hormonal cycle regulation.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The production of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), the main IGF-I binding protein, is regulated by GH, and its serum levels are increased in acromegaly. We investigated its potential value as a parameter of acromegaly activity or remission in comparison with IGF-I, taking GH suppression below 2 microg/l after glucose load as the normal standard.Data from 40 acromegalic patients (12 males and 28 females, aged 28 to 79 years) were obtained retrospectively from stored samples. From these, 145 pairs of IGF-I/IGFBP-3 values were collected; in 67 of them, simultaneous measurement of GH after glucose loading allowed their classification as active or inactive acromegaly. Relationships between IGF-I, IGFBP-3 and GH after glucose load were assessed, as well as differences between IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels in active and inactive acromegaly.Significant positive correlation between IGF-I and IGFBP-3 in 145 samples was observed (r=0.49, P<0. 0001). As for the 67 samples in which activity or remission could be defined in terms of GH after glucose load, 50 were active and 17 inactive. Both IGF-I and IGFBP-3 significantly correlated with minimum GH (r=0.53, P<0.0001 and r=0.41, P<0.001 respectively). For both parameters, significant differences of means between active and inactive cases were observed (623+/-296 vs 300+/-108 ng/ml, P<0.0001 for IGF-I, and 4.1+/-1.3 vs 3.2+/-0.9 microg/ml, P<0.006 for IGFBP-3). Yet, when comparing in individual cases their classification as active or inactive with the finding of normal or increased IGF-I and IGFBP-3, among active cases 16% appeared as normal according to IGF-I, and 50% appeared as normal in terms of IGFBP-3. Among inactive cases, 23.5% appeared as active according to IGF-I, while 17.5% appeared as active in terms of IGFBP-3.Even though IGFBP-3 reflects GH secretion, it offers no advantage over IGF-I in the assessment of acromegaly, and it may underestimate disease activity in acromegalic patients.
War, from the South

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In South Lebanon, like other places across the Global South, war is experienced as an enduring condition that makes worlds even as it destroys them—worlds that continue to be lively, if also deadly. What theory of war might be adequate to these worlds? This essay shifts the terrain and the terms in which war is grasped by sourcing a theory of war from a resistantly inhabited battlefield of the Global South. Placing war alongside other more normalized sites of modern violence this essay seeks to decolonize theories of war and to bring to light vitalizing ecologies of practice that underwrite resistant life in deadly quarters.

Isolating patients in hospital to control infection. Part IV. Nursing procedures.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The title of this part is not intended to imply that it concerns only nursing staff.The subjects considered in the next few paragraphs concern all staff who have to deal with patients.Most precautions against transferring infection demand more effort, take more time, and directly or indirectly cost more than comparable procedures in normal circumstances.It is therefore desirable to eliminate unnecessary measures and to reach a work load that can be carried without strain by the available staff. Precautions BACTERIOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCE OF STAFFPatients and staff with symptoms or signs of communicable disease should be bacteriologically investigated and isolated or put off duty perhaps during the investigation and certainly if pathogens are found; this should be allowed for when the staffing establishment for an isolation unit is being defined.The need to search for carriers among patients and staff who have no indications of infective disease is less clear.For patients admitted to general wards and for most staff experience suggests that routine cultures of faeces and of throat and nose swabs yield little or no measurable advantage.Intestinal pathogens are rarely found and symptomless excreters of these seem rarely to do harm.There are three main reasons why routine screening for nasal and skin carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is not profitable: carriers are so numerous that it would be impossible to isolate them all among the patients and to put off duty all carriers among the staff; the carrier state is so variable that swabbing would have to be repeated very often; and there is no reliable method of converting carriers into non-carriers.Routine precautions against cross-infection must therefore take account of the existence of carriers in the whole hospital population.During outbreaks due to pathogens of recognisable species and type routine screening may become justified.
[Endoscopic and histopathological findings of the upper gastrointestinal tract in patients with functional and organic dyspepsia].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Regardless of the severity of lesions of the upper GI endoscopy in patients with dyspepsia, it is advisable to take biopsy from the gastric and duodenal mucosa, which allows for an individualized management of these patients. Celiac disease should be considered in the diagnosis of the causes of dyspepsia. Further studies of microscopic duodenitis in patients with dyspepsia are needed.
Availability analysis of DNSSEC resolution and validation service

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Availability of DNSSEC resolution and validation service against man-in-the-middle attacks are analysed in this paper, and possible vulnerabilities are introduced and classified. Experiments show DNSSEC client is vulnerable because the attacks are always successful, but they are failed to recursive server, at the same time, attacks to recursive server will bring about numerous retries, and the number of retries depends on the number of root domain name servers, top-level servers and authority servers, and this can be exploited to launch denial of service attacks to recursive server. The results show the availability of DNSSEC service is poor against man-in-the-middle attacks. Conclusions are valuable to the optimization of DNSSEC recursive server application, as well as DNSSEC security analysis.
Cross-Domain Based Data Sharing Scheme in Cooperative Edge Computing

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

With the development of Internet technology, the demand for openness and sharing of information in the network grows rapidly. Data sharing in one domain can not satisfy users' requirement. What a user needs may be the data in another management domain, so there is an urgent need for a secure way to share data among different domains. At present, some web technology (JSONP, server proxy, cross frame and so on) and attribute-based encryption (ABE) are main methods to solve cross-domain sharing. The main problem cross-domain sharing face is security of data and authentication among different domains. In edge computing model, the cloud service provider is a trust root which links all the edge computing nodes together. Edge computing node is the administrator of one domain, and responsible for data transmission and processing. In this paper, we propose a secure way to share data among different domains by edge computing model, we regard the edge computing node and managed edge equipment as a domain, and all the domains are linked together by the cloud, it is easy to solve the problem of authentication among different domains in this way. Meanwhile, RSA algorithm and ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) are used to ensure the confidentiality of the information and one-to-many sharing of data. Finally, analysis shows that our scheme is secure.
The Rising Value of Time and the Origin of Urban Gentrification

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

In recent decades, gentrification has transformed American central city neighborhoods. I estimate a spatial equilibrium model to show that the rising value of high-skilled workers’ time contributes to the gentrification of American central cities. I show that the increasing value of time raises the cost of commuting and exogenously increases the demand for central locations by high-skilled workers. While change in the value of time has a modest direct effect on gentrification of central cities, the effect is substantially magnified by endogenous amenity change driven by the changes in local skill mix.

Clinical relevance of detecting anti-infliximab antibodies with a drug-tolerant assay: post hoc analysis of the TAXIT trial

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective To evaluate the clinical relevance of antidrug antibodies (ADAs) measured using a drug-tolerant assay in a post hoc analysis of the Trough Concentration (TC) Adapted Infliximab Treatment (TAXIT) randomised controlled trial. Design ADA in serum samples (n=221) of 76 patients enrolled in TAXIT, who presented with an infliximab TC <3 µg/mL at screening, were reanalysed after optimisation and at the end of the study using a drug-tolerant ADA assay. Patients underwent dose escalation to achieve therapeutic TCs between 3 µg/mL and 7 µg/mL prior to randomisation. Patients were grouped into quartiles (Q1–4) according to ADA concentration at screening. Results Using a drug-tolerant assay, the immunogenicity detection rate increased from 21% (drug-sensitive assay) to 63% at screening, from 0% to 51% after optimisation and from 3% to 42% at the end of TAXIT. Patients in ADA Q4 required a higher cumulative infliximab dose (2390 (880–2998) mg) to achieve target TCs, resulting in a higher drug cost (€10 712 (4120–13 596)) compared with ADA-negative patients (€2060 (1648–3296)) and patients in ADA Q1/Q2 (€2060 (1648–4120)/€2060 (1751–3296), p<0.001). However, all but one patient belonging to ADA Q4 were also ADA-positive using a drug-sensitive assay. Conclusions Upon dose intensification, low concentration ADAs, not detectable using a drug-sensitive assay, disappear in more than half of the patients over time and are clinically non-relevant. In contrast, high concentration ADAs which are typically also detected in a drug-sensitive assay, persist over time and necessitate a higher cumulative dose and drug cost. In the latter group, proactive drug switching may be more cost-efficient. Clinical Trials Register 2011-002061-38; Post-results.
