Nurse's Perception toward Factors Contributing to Violence Exposure at Complex for Mental Health in Tabuk City: A Scoping Review

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Context: Exposure to violence among health care workers, particularly nurses working in mental health, is prevalent globally. This problem results from different factors in the workplace. The nurse must understand these factors to deal with patients and protect themselves. Aim: This review aimed to describe the nurses' perception toward factors contributing to violence exposure at a complex for mental health in Tabuk city. Methods: A scoping review based on the PRISMA guidelines includes qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method research on nurses' exposure to violence. A literature search was carried out using the following databases: MEDLINE, CINAHL, and EBSCO through the Saudi Digital Library databases. The search included studies published between January 2015 and December 2020. All the included studies were assessed for their quality. After the selection process, 26 studies that matched the inclusion criteria emerged and were incorporated into the review. Results: This scoping review is categorized into six themes. Most of the included studies revealed that violence against nurses is outspread worldwide. The most common types of violence among nurses were physical and verbal violence. The primary source of violence was the patients or their relatives. The causal factors of violence exposure included the nature of the patient's illness, increased expectations by patients and their relatives about the care provided, shortage of drug and staff, insufficient security guards in the health settings, work experience, and skills in dealing with aggressive behavior patients. The consequences of exposure to violence among nurses were job dissatisfaction, anxiety and depression, malpractice, and high nurses' turnover. The ways to reduce exposure to workplace violence, such as training courses, improvement of security measures inside the health care settings, were reported as strategies to overcome this phenomenon. Conclusion: Violence is situated, an interpersonal, emotional, and cognitive action involving undesirable interaction. Nurses' exposure to violence can be reduced first by perceiving contributing factors. This review highlighted the problem of nurses' exposure to different types of violence and its associated factors and ways to reduce exposure to workplace violence.

Chemical Composition and in Vitro Antifungal Activity Screening of Seed and Leaf Extracts from Aframomum meleguata and Monodora myristica against Sclertium rolfsii of Cowpea Plant (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Phytochemical studies of Aframomum meleguata and Monodora myristria seed and leaf extracts revealed the presence of bioactive compounds comprising alkaloids (0.29–5.64%), flavonoids (0.12–8.29%), saponins (0.02–1.24%), tannins (0.03–0.39%), and phenols (0.02–0.39%). The growth of Sclerotium rolfsii, which causes basal stem rot in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) and other crops such as tomatoes and tobacco, was inhibited in vitro by the extracts of both plants. The extracts from A. meleguata seed, M. myristica and A. meleguata leaves and M. myristica seed showed 86.65, 53.19, 43.47 and 39.31% inhibition, respectively. Analysis of chemical composition through infrared spectroscopy showed that the most active phytoconstituents are aldehydes, ketones, amines and phenolic compounds contained in A. meleguata seeds. The fungitoxicity of the extracts from A. meleguata seed was higher (86.65%) than that of benomyl (86.20%), a synthetic fungicide.
Dynamic Changes of Methylcytosine in Polarized Cell Growth and Their Response to GABA Signals

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

DNA cytosine methylation( 5m C) plays an important role in plant development. A variety of environmental factors,such as cellular endogenous and exogenous stress factors,can trigger changes in DNA methylation. To explore the possible mechanism regulated by γ-aminobutyric acid( GABA) in plant development,we analyzed the content of 5m C and its response to GABA signals in the polarized growth of tobacco pollen tubes and Arabidopsis roots. Results showed that GABA( 1. 0 mmol / L) significantly promoted the growth of tobacco pollen tubes and Arabidopsis roots,significantly decreased the content of 5m C in the genomic DNA of tobacco pollen tubes and Arabidopsis roots,and increased the content of 5-hydroxyl cytosine( 5hm C). 5hm C is an important intermediate of 5m C active demethylation via its oxidative metabolic pathway. Our results demonstrated that GABA,as an important exogenous signal,could regulate dynamic changes in DNA methylation.
Evaluating the influence of working capital management on corporate performance

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Effective working capital management involves strategically managing short-term assets and liabilities to maintain financial stability. This includes managing cash, inventory, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. Optimizing cash conversion, timely payment collection, avoiding excess stock, and managing accounts payable ensure liquidity, minimize financing costs, and improve profitability. Studying the impact of working capital management on the financial performance of consumer goods firms is crucial, as it provides insights into how these practices can enhance profitability and support sustainable growth in a competitive sector. Understanding these dynamics helps firms refine their strategies to achieve better financial health and operational efficiency. This study investigates the impact of working capital management on the financial performance of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria, highlighting the significance of optimizing cash flow and balancing current assets and liabilities. By focusing on the cash conversion cycle, accounts receivable turnover, and inventory turnover, the research evaluates their effects on return on assets (ROA) using ordinary least square regression (OLS) analysis. The findings aim to provide insights into how strategic management of working capital components can enhance profitability and contribute to sustainable business growth. By analyzing financial data from listed companies, the study offers empirical evidence that effective working capital management through maintaining optimal levels of receivables, inventory, and payables supports smoother operations, reduces financing costs, and increases ROA. This research underscores the strategic importance of working capital management in achieving financial stability and operational efficiency, with implications for both practitioners and academics in the Nigerian context.
A higher education student service quality and satisfaction model

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study develops a model, the service quality satisfaction monitoring model (SQSMM), to examine the relationship between the industry standard 73-item Noel-Levitz student satisfaction inventory (SSI) and a new, greatly reduced four-item service quality satisfaction instrument (SQSI). The impact of students' perceptions of service quality and satisfaction related to their collegiate experience is measured by many universities using the standard 73-item Noel-Levitz SSI instrument. However, the cost of the SSI and the length of the instrument precludes its frequent use for initial assessment or ongoing monitoring to track changes. We develop and test a new service quality and student satisfaction single construct four-item instrument, SQSI, based on contextualising items drawn from other survey instruments.
Factors regulating brown trout populations in two French rivers: application of a dynamic population model

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A dynamic population model was developed to study the impact of biotic and abiotic environmental factors on changes in trout populations. The model is based on the Leslie Matrix and simulates population change by age class in terms of biological parameters (i.e. fish survival, fertility, growth rates), which are dependent on environmental conditions. Changes in physical habitat, expressed as Weighted Usable Area, cause displacement of fish and increased mortality. Calculations were made at 1-month intervals to account for the effect of climatic variations on the population. The model was used to analyze the dynamics of two trout populations, quite different in terms of their biological characteristics: one in Lower Normandy in the Oir watershed and the other in the Pyrenees Mountains in the Neste d'Oueil watershed. Application of the model to those populations revealed two types of stabilizing mechanisms. The first was a capacity for population restoration, which is well-represented by the model through the phenomenon of density-dependent mortality in the first months of life. The second was adjustment of the adult population to the carrying capacity of the environment. The two applications demonstrate the utility of this type of model for understanding and simulating the dynamics of different cohorts of a population. Coupling habitat models and dynamic population models facilitates the identification of key periods during which carrying capacity—related to the hydrology—becomes a limiting factor for fish. This brings new perspectives to water management and may facilitate analysis of instream flow requirements related to water development projects, such as hydropower plants.

A Tall Story: Characteristics, Causes, and Consequences of Stature Loss

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Height is widely used as an objective measure of health status. It is commonly used in the large body of research evaluating welfare trends in historic populations and the long-run impacts of childhood environment. However, few research papers have examined the extent, causes or consequences of stature loss in aging populations. This is surprising, as many studies rely on the assumption that height is fixed in late adolescence. Using repeated observations on objectively measured data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA), we document that stature loss is an important phenomenon among older individuals, and demonstrate how the use of unadjusted height will dramatically overstate health improvements for younger birth cohorts in cross sectional data. We show that there is an absence of consistent predictors of stature loss at the individual level. However, we exploit the panel element of the ELSA survey to show how deteriorating health and stature loss occur in tandem. While our analysis details the inherent bias of height measurements in older populations, we do not find that significant differences arise from the use of unadjusted height as an input in typical empirical health production function models.
PTH-093 Chromogranin-a : Can It Predict Radiological Progression In Neuroendocrine Tumours?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction Chromogranin A (CgA) is considered as the best general marker for the diagnosis and follow-up of neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) and is also of prognostic value. In literature, there are no available studies which analysed the role of CgA as a predictor of radiological disease progression in all NETs. Present study investigates the prognostic value of CgA as a predictor of radiological disease progression in NET patients. Methods Patients with metastatic NETs and evidence of Radiological Progression (RP) according to RECIST 1.1 were identified from a NET database. Plasma CgA were measured 6 and 12 months before RP and at the event of RP. CgA was measured with the Supra-regional-Assay-Service radioimmunoassay (Hammersmith Hospital), normal value <60 pmol/L. The tumours were graded according to the 2010 WHO classification, as G1 (Ki67 <2%), G2 (Ki67: 2–20%), G3 (Ki67 >20%). Results 152 patients were evaluable including 91 midgut NET and 61 pancreatic NETs (PNETs). Of these, 56 were G1 NETs, 65 G2, 10 G3, 21 of unknown histology. 95.4% of the patients had liver metastases, whereas bone and lung metastases were present in a smaller proportion of patients (27.6 and 9.9%, respectively). Median CgA for all NETs 6 months before RP was 213 pmol/L [Interquartile 1 (Q1)=67 and 3 (Q3)=664.5 pmol/L] compared to 166 pmol/L (Q1 52, Q3 535 pmol/L) one year before RP, T = 598.5, p = 0.07. Significant results were found for PNETs [median CgA 6 months before RP: 100 pmol/L (Q1 53, Q3 286.25 pmol/L) and at 12 months: 52 pmol/L (Q1 36.25, Q3 128 pmol/L), T=52, p = 0.048], but not for midgut NETs [median CgA 6 months before RP: 389.5 pmol/L (Q1 131.5, Q3 791.5 pmol/L) and at 12 months: 319 pmol/L (Q1 158, Q3 753 pmol/L), T=191, p = .39]. Both midgut and PNETs CgA values were significantly higher at RP than 12 months before [267 pmol/L (Q1=66, Q3=777) vs. 166 pmol/L (Q1=52, Q3=535), T= 394.5, p = 0.03]. Overall, G1 tumours had median CgA value at 6 months significantly higher than at 12 months [181(Q1=56.25, Q3=624) vs. 149.5 pmol/L (Q1=44, Q3=247.25), T=70, p = 0.048]. Conclusion CgA seems to have predictive value 6 months prior to RP for PNETs and G1 tumours, which may be of value to identify specific subgroups of patients who may benefit from a more aggressive follow-up with possible early intervention in case of increased CgA levels. Further prospective studies are needed to enable more definitive conclusions. References 1 Oberg K et al . Pancreas 2011 2 Ter-Minassian M et al . Endocr Relat Cancer 2013 3 Welin S et al .

The Application of Aqueous Span 80 Composite Material in Methane Absorption and Explosion Suppression

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper aims to design a sort of aqueous atomization absorbing material which can absorb mine gas under coal mine to decrease the methane concentration and reduce the explosion hazard. The material was composed of water as matrix, Span 80 as methane absorbent, and inorganic salt as additive. Methane the main component of mine gas was used as model of mine gas. The influence of concentration of inorganic salt on absorption and the effect of different compound materials made of Span 80 and inorganic salt on absorption were studied using Head Space Gas Chromatography to determine the content of methane absorbed. Explosion chamber was used as experiment system to simulate mine gas explosion. The explosion suppression effects of absorbing materials were studied preliminarily in explosion chamber using the maximum explosion pressure and residual methane content after explosion as parameters. The results indicate that the absorbing material can absorb more methane than water and can partly inhibit the explosion of the mixture of methane and air.
Study of changes in anatomical structures of young needles Picea schrenkiana Fisch et C.A. Mey and shoots of Haloxylon bunge species in Kazakhstan

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The work is devoted to the anatomical study of five populations of the forest-forming species Picea schrenkiana, which grows in the Trans Ili Alatau range of Northern Tian Shan Mountains, and three species of the desert tree Haloxylon, which grows in three regions of Kazakhstan. As the study was taken young needles of P. schrenkiana and shoots of Haloxylon species. In this study, anatomical analyses of young needles from five populations of P. schrenkiana and shoots from three Haloxylon species were performed to identify and describe anatomical features in search of distinctive features that could be used to determine the characteristics of these species. In the cross-section of P. schrenkiana needles, all five populations have a rectangular shape, and the tissue types and their location are similar in all populations. Study of the young needles of P. schrenkiana revealed the presence of the epidermis, hypodermis, stomata, mesophyll, resin ducts, endodermis and vascular bundles all of the five populations. The area of the vascular bundles varies from 141.4 ± 1.9 to 182.7 ± 1.4 μm². Comparatively, all indicators were the same, which means that the origins of all five populations are similar to each other. As a result, the anatomical structure of P. schrenkiana needles corresponds to the structure of coniferous plants. In the study of three species of Haloxylon, more precisely Haloxylon aphyllum, Haloxylon persicum, Haloxylon ammodendron, differences were found in the section of each species. This is possible due to the fact that they grow in three different regions and different environmental conditions. And it proves that the environmental conditions of the place where these species grow affects the anatomy and structure of plants.
Hydrolysis and Phenolysis Reactions of Phosphonitrilic Chloride Trimer

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Abstract At IRIS VI, in Berlin in 1991, we presented1 some preliminary results from our 3lP NMR studies of the hydrolysis of hexachloromphosphazene, P3N3C16. These studies were carried out in CDC13 solution, with added methylamine to absorb the HCl released. While those studies were in progress, a report by Gabler and Haw2 appeared of the hydrolysis i n THF solution, without added base. Their results were to some extent at variance with ours, and both they and we reported NMR evidence for species which could not be identified on the basis of a simple hydrolysis mechanism. Both they and we suggested the formation of P-0-P bridged species, but their spectra, unlike ours, showed no evidence of the P-P coupling across tlie bridge which would be expected. (Symmetrical species show second order spectra from which the coupling can often be extracted). We have therefore repeated the measurements of Gabler and Haw, and extended our own studies to include the use of other bases than methylamine.
AN EVALUATION OF THE OPERATIONAL UTILITY OF DIRECT READOUT INFRARED SATELLITE DATA.

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The study attempts to answer the question of the utility of direct-readout infrared data on the basis of data obtained from the Nimbus I and II spacecraft. Both spacecraft provided infrared data to a central readout station of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The high-resolution infrared data (HRIR) was recorded on 70mm film and is of photographic quality. The data sample is limited to September of 1964 and May thru November of 1966, the operating lifetimes of these infrared systems. A large number of HRIR pictures were available for this evaluation, as well as several DRIR data samples. The DRIR pictures were obtained from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) at Guam where a Navy APT set had been modified to receive DRIR data. Additional input into this study came from an evaluation of DRIR by the US Navy, from a large number of technical publications on this subject, and from personal contact with those who had worked with DRIR data.

A radiosity-based model for simulating sound propagation in urban streets

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

To study the fundamental characteristics of the sound field in urban streets resulting from diffusely reflecting boundaries, a theoretical/computer model has been developed using the radiosity technique. The model divides building facades and ground into a number of patches and then simulates the sound propagation in a street by energy exchange between the patches. Computations in a typical street with a single noise source show that with diffusely reflecting boundaries the sound attenuation along the length is significant, and the sound distribution in a cross section is generally even unless the cross section is very close to the source. The effectiveness of some architectural changes and urban design options on further increasing sound attenuation along the length, such as by strategically arranging buildings in a street or adding absorption patches on facades or ground has been analyzed. It has also been demonstrated that by replacing geometrically reflecting boundaries with diffusely reflecting boundaries, the sound attenuation along the length becomes greater, and the reverberation time becomes shorter. This suggests that from the viewpoint of urban noise reduction, it is better to design the street boundaries as diffusely reflective rather than acoustically smooth.

Gis-based analytical hierarchy process, weight of evidence and logistic regression models for the landslide susceptibility predicting in Echorfa Region (northwestern of Algeria)

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The main objective of this study is destined to combine the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Weight of Evidence (WOE), Logistic Regression (LR) methods and geographic information system (GIS) to predict landslide susceptibility of the Echorfa region (northwestern of Algeria). Nine factors such as slope, aspect, lithology, distance to faults, lineaments density, distance to the streams, precipitations, land use and altitude are included in landslide susceptibility evaluation process. A detailed landslide inventory map was established by satellite images and filed surveys. Three landslide susceptibility maps are established using the different statistical models. Five landslide susceptibility categories are generated by the GSI classification nil, low, moderate, high and very high susceptibility. The performance of the different models in landslide susceptibility is calculated based in the area under curve of the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) which give a satisfactory result. The results showed that the WOE is more performance than the two other techniques. The produced landslide susceptibility maps provide important spatial information about landslide prone area, where the constructed map’s content will help the decision makers in land use planning.
