4CPS-094 Analysis of interventions on antibiotic prescriptions by the antimicrobial stewardship programs at the emergency department

<h3>Background and Importance</h3> Antibiotics are some of the most prescribed drugs at the Emergency Department (ED) and it is usually inappropriate. An educational intervention by the antimicrobial stewardship programme (ASP) could be effective to improve the use of antibiotics. <h3>Aim and Objectives</h3> To compare and analyse the interventions carried out on empirical antibiotic prescription (EAP) in two periods at ED by the multidisciplinary ASP(MASP). To compare defined daily doses per 100 discharges (DDD/100D) of meropenem in both periods. <h3>Material and Methods</h3> Quasi-experimental study was conducted to compare the interventions performed by the MASP (formed by infectious disease doctors, clinical pharmacists and microbiologists) at ED of a tertiary hospital during June-2019(first period, FP) and March-2021(second period, SP). Unique recommendations on the adequacy of EAP were made for each patient and antibiotic dose optimisation. Collected data included patient demographics, diagnosis, prescription and its adequacy, recommendations made and grade of acceptance. Meropenem consumption of hospitalised patients during the intervention period and following month was obtained through the drug record programme in order to calculate the DDD/100D. A database was created in Excel and analysed with SPSSv17.0 statistical software. <h3>Results</h3> 145 patients were included: 58.6% men, mean age 71.2 years (SD:17.4). 42 on FP group (FPG) and 103 on SP group (SPG). Over all the prescriptions, 58.6%(80/145) were appropriate, 50%(21/42) in FPG and 57.3%(59/103) in SPG. When inadequate prescription: Global acceptance was 95.9% (139/145), being 95.9% (40/42) in FPG and 96.1% (99/103) in SPG. The most prescribed antibiotic was ceftriaxone (49/145), followed by amoxicillin/clavulanate (26/145) and piperacillin/tazobactam (25/145). The EAP of meropenem was 26.2% (11/42) in FPG and 6.8% (7/103) in SPG with statistically significant differences (p&lt;0.002). DDD/100D of meropenem was 27.9 in FPG and 22.9 in SPG. <h3>Conclusion and Relevance</h3> An improvement in EAP has been observed. Although the acceptance rate in both periods was very high, the results show that more work needs to be done on training of prescribers. Having stablished the MASP at EM has led to significant decrease of empirical meropenem use. This may have contributed to reduce DDD/100D of it in our hospital. <h3>References and/or Acknowledgements</h3> <h3>Conflict of Interest</h3> No conflict of interest

Site-based decisionmaking in the public school system: A case study of teachers in response to the implementation of a weekly "academic seminar"

This study investigated attitude changes among teachers as a result of implementation of a weekly "Academic Seminar" during the 1991-92 school year in a Washington County school. In this study, time for an on-site staff to meet was a major component of site-based decisionmaking. The school district provided time and space to allow the opportunity for staff development and professional growth. Students arrived in the buildings 40 minutes later on the day of the meeting. The agenda, which would include issues the staff, students and schools face, was to be decided by the teachers. A review of the literature showed that teacher empowerment through site-based decision making resulted in higher teacher morale and, therefore, positive effects on students and the school. A pre-seminar survey was conducted in October in the initial stage of Academic Seminar. A post-seminar survey in April determined if or how much teacher attitudes of personal and professional satisfaction had changed. Questions that were answered ' on a 5-point Likert scale by a selected teacher population from one school provided the means that served as the measurement . unit for analysis. The null hypothesis of no difference between the ' means could not be rejected at 'the .05 significance level. It was concluded that within a seven:..month period, the seminar had no significant improvement on teacher job satisfaction. The evidence indicates an effect, however. This author believes there are other factors including: finances; curriculum; time; public scrutiny; district, state, and national mandates/requirements, etc. These all may strongly influence teacher ' attitudes and job satisfaction beyond a weekly teacher/staff meeting such as Academic Seminar and could be issues for further investigation.

Detection of quantitative trait loci for mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) resistance in mungbean (&lt;i&gt;Vigna radiata&lt;/i&gt; (L.) Wilczek) in India and Pakistan

Yellow mosaic disease (YMD) is one of the major diseases affecting mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek). In this study, we report the mapping of the quantitative trait locus (QTL) for mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) resistance in mungbean. An F8 recombinant inbred line (RIL) mapping population was generated in Thailand from a cross between NM10-12-1 (MYMIV resistance) and KPS2 (MYMIV susceptible). One hundred and twenty-two RILs and their parents were evaluated for MYMIV resistance in infested fields in India and Pakistan. A genetic linkage map was developed for the RIL population using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Composite interval mapping identified five QTLs for MYMIV resistance: three QTLs for India (qYMIV1, qYMIV2 and qYMIV3) and two QTLs for Pakistan (qYMIV4 and qYMIV5). qYMIV1, qYMIV2, qYMIV3, qYMIV4 and qYMIV5 explained 9.33%, 10.61%, 12.55%, 21.93% and 6.24% of variation in disease responses, respectively. qYMIV1 and qYMIV4 appeared to be the same locus and were common to a major QTL for MYMIV resistance in India identified previously using a different resistant mungbean.

Transgenic rice <i>Oryza glaberrima</i> with higher CPD photolyase activity alleviates UVB-caused growth inhibition

The ultraviolet B (UVB) sensitivity of rice cultivated in Asia and Africa varies greatly, with African rice cultivars (<i>Oryza glaberrima</i> Steud. and <i>O. barthii</i> A. Chev.) being more sensitive to UVB because of their low cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) photolyase activity, which is a CPD repair enzyme, relative to Asian rice cultivars (<i>O. sativa</i> L.). Hence, the production of UVB-resistant African rice with augmented CPD photolyase activity is of great importance, although difficulty in transforming the African rice cultivars to this end has been reported. Here, we successfully produced overexpressing transgenic African rice with higher CPD photolyase activity by modifying media conditions for callus induction and regeneration using the parental line (PL), UVB-sensitive African rice TOG12380 (<i>O. glaberrima</i>). The overexpressing transgenic African rice carried a single copy of the CPD photolyase enzyme, with a 4.4-fold higher level of CPD photolyase transcripts and 2.6-fold higher activity than its PL counterpart. When the plants were grown for 21 days in a growth chamber under visible radiation or with supplementary various UVB radiation, the overexpressing transgenic plants have a significantly increased UVB resistance index compared to PL plants. These results strongly suggest that CPD photolyase remains an essential factor for tolerating UVB radiation stress in African rice. As a result, African rice cultivars with overexpressed CPD photolyase may survive better in tropical areas more prone to UVB radiation stress, including Africa. Collectively, our results provide strong evidence that CPD photolyase is a useful biotechnological tool for reducing UVB-induced growth inhibition in African rice crops of <i>O. glaberrima</i>.

[Immunomodulating and hepatoprotective action of retinoids in toxic liver involvement induced by D-galactosamine].

The experiments on Wistar rats showed that beta-carotene and retinol acetate decreased the level of the biochemical signs of the hepatocyte injury and lowered or abolished the immunosuppressive effect induced by D-galactosamine. The hepatoprotective and immunomodulating effects of beta-carotene were higher. D-Galactosamine induced the development of the immunosuppressing properties in light erythrocytes and retinol acetate induced the development of the immunostimulating properties in heavy erythrocyte of the poisoned animals. beta-carotene prevented the development of the immunosuppressing properties in such cells. The immunomodulating effect of beta-carotene in the toxic affection of the liver was associated with blocking or retarding of the entry of the suppressing substances to the vascular channel from the hepatocytes and did not depend on their action on the erythrocytes.

The Two Scaling Regimes of the Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relation for\n the KPZ-Equation

We investigate the thermodynamic uncertainty relation for the $(1+1)$\ndimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation on a finite spatial interval. In\nparticular, we extend the results for small coupling strengths obtained\npreviously to large values of the coupling parameter. It will be shown that,\ndue to the scaling behavior of the KPZ equation, the TUR product displays two\ndistinct regimes which are separated by a critical value of an effective\ncoupling parameter. The asymptotic behavior below and above the critical\nthreshold is explored analytically. For small coupling, we determine this\nproduct perturbatively including the fourth order; for strong coupling we\nemploy a dynamical renormalization group approach. Whereas the TUR product\napproaches a value of $5$ in the weak coupling limit, it asymptotically\ndisplays a linear increase with the coupling parameter for strong couplings.\nThe analytical results are then compared to direct numerical simulations of the\nKPZ equation showing convincing agreement.\n

Tenant Farming in Punjab: Nature, Pattern and Constraints

The paper has demonstrated slow growth rate of agricultural output, escalating input cost, declining profit margin, fragmentation of land, and unemployment are the symptoms of the Punjab's economy.In such a situation, it become imperative to study how the tenant farmers survive in farming.To keep in mind the above facts, the present study was undertaken to examine the nature of tenancy system and constraints faced by tenant farmers in the state.The study was based on the primary data, collected from 120 farmers, for all the three agro-climatic zones of Punjab pertaining to the crop year 2017-18.Descriptive tools were used to study the nature of tenancy and mean score was used for constraints analysis.The study highlighted that to make them self employed or fulfill the need of family, tenant farmers took land on leased from cultivator who switched to another sector and migrated in large number outside the country.From the study it was perceived that with the increase of size of holding and majority of tenant farmers adopted land holding to improve the scale of farming and to be economically viable. Highlightsm Expensive farm machinery, ineffective government policies and inadequate timely financial assistance from banks were found as major constraints confronted by the tenant farmers.m The legalization of land leasing, transparency in leased contracts, factors affecting the tenant farming is the main policy implications to encourage the tenant farmers in the state.

Seismic Performance and Aseismic Measures of ±800 kV EHV Wall Casing-Valve Hall System

The EHV(extra-high voltage) wall casing is a horizontally installed cantilever equipment with significant vulnerability under earthquake ground motions. In order to obtain the seismic responses of a ±800 kV EHV wall casing-valve hall system, a systematic finite element model was established. Sixteen earthquake records were selected from the PEER data base in the analysis, the stress at the root section and acceleration at the top of the bushing were regarded as critical position and corresponding responses were obtained. The results infers that the valve hall amplify the seismic responses of the electrical facility. To meet the standard requirement, two aseismic measures were proposed to retrofit the sidewall of the valve hall and validated to be effective to improve the seismic performance of the EHV wall bushing-valve hall system.

Safety of lumbar puncture in comatose children with clinical features of cerebral malaria

We assessed the independent association of lumbar puncture (LP) and death in Malawian children admitted to the hospital with the clinical features of cerebral malaria (CM).This was a retrospective cohort study in Malawian children with clinical features of CM. Allocation to LP was nonrandom and was associated with severity of illness. Propensity score-based analyses were used to adjust for this bias and assess the independent association between LP and mortality.Data were available for 1,075 children: 866 (80.6%) underwent LP and 209 (19.4%) did not. Unadjusted mortality rates were lower in children who underwent LP (15.3% vs 26.7% in the no-LP group) but differences in covariates between the 2 groups suggested bias in LP allocation. After propensity score matching, all covariates were balanced. Propensity score-based analyses showed no change in mortality rate associated with LP: by inverse probability weighting, the average risk reduction was 2.0% at 12 hours (95% confidence interval -1.5% to 5.5%, p = 0.27) and 1.7% during hospital admission (95% confidence interval -4.5% to 7.9%, p = 0.60). Undergoing LP did not change the risk of mortality in subanalyses of children with severe brain swelling on MRI or in those with papilledema.In comatose children with suspected CM who were clinically stable, we found no evidence that LP increases mortality, even in children with objective signs of raised intracranial pressure.

Influence of Chemical Fertilizer and Organic Manure on Enhancing the Production of Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Crop in Himachal Pradesh, India

A field experiment was conducted at the Research Farm, School of Agriculture, Abhilashi University, Chail Chowk Mandi during the Rabi season of 2022-23 to look into the “Influence of chemical fertilizer and organic manure on enhancing the production of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) crop in Himachal Pradesh”. During the investigation seven treatment combination were employed in randomized block design with three replications. Treatment comprises of T1 (Absolute control) T2 (RDF 100% + FYM 5 t ha-1), T3 (75% RDF + FYM 5 t ha-1), T4 (125% RDF + FYM 5 t ha-1), T5 (150% RDF + Zinc @ 1 kg ha-1), T6 (50% RDF + 50% FYM) &amp; T7 (50% RDF + 25% FYM + 25% VC). The finding of the experiment showed that different integrated nutrient treatments had significantly improved the production and productivity of barley crop. The highest plant height (65.75), (82.44) and (86.65) was observed in treatment T5 (150% RDF + Zinc @ 1 kg ha-1). No. of tillers (450.34), (437.64) and (425.48) and dry matter accumulation (450.11), (600.33) and ( 795.66). The yield attributes i.e., No. of effective tillers (419.33), Spike length (8.27), No. of spikes (417.84), Grains per spike (45.57) and grain yield (44.23), straw yield (67.39) and biological yield (111.62) were also significantly influenced by the treatment T5 which was at par with T4 and T2 . During investigation minimum value of all the growth and yield parameters and yield was observed under treatment T1 i.e. absolute control. From the observation it was found that combination of organic and inorganic fertilizer significantly improve production and productivity of barley.

Mapping Forest Landscape Multifunctionality Using Multicriteria Spatial Analysis

ABSTRACT This paper presents a GIS methodological approach for mapping forest landscape multifunctionality. The aims of the present study were: (1) to integrate and prioritize production and protection functions by multicriteria spatial analysis using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP); and (2) to produce a multifunctionality map (e.g., production, protection, conservation and recreation) for a forest management unit. For this, a study area in inner Portugal occupied by forest and with an important protection area was selected. Based on maps for functions identified in the study area, it was possible to improve the scenic value and the biodiversity of the landscape to mitigate fire hazard and to diversify goods and services. The developed methodology is a key tool for producing maps for decision making support in integrated landscape planning and forest management.

SQL Query Optimization on Cross Nodes for Distributed System

Query terms are also expanded from several dimensions of simple query expansion to complex query of multi dimension. It is becoming more and more difficult to extract, store and analyze the massive data by using the traditional database software. So the better query strategy is the key to optimize the database query operation. As the important method of database analysis data, SQL query plays an important role in analyzing and processing data. Through SQL inquiries, users can get their most concerned information quickly. With the continuous development of the Internet industry, the data need to deal with in database continues to expand its scale. Database shows its characteristics as large amount, multiple types, fast processing speed and low density value. This paper proposed a new global adaptive optimization processing method in order to achieve the purpose of reducing the number of data I/O and load balance when SQL query is carried out in the distributed parallel system. Its characteristic is: to build a multi-factor decision fuzzy evaluation model for each sub-query path optimization decision and to definite the optimized global cost function for adaptive optimization on global query path which will satisfy the total cost minimum requirements for the purpose of query. The experiments show that the global query method has the faster query speed. At the same time, the total cost of query is controllable by defining the global optimized cost function.
