Abstract Anesthetics have profound effects on the brain and central nervous system. Vital signs, along with the electroencephalogram and electroencephalogram-based indices, are commonly used to assess the brain states of patients receiving general anesthesia and sedation. Important information about the patient’s arousal state during general anesthesia can also be obtained through use of the neurologic examination. This article reviews the main components of the neurologic examination focusing primarily on the brainstem examination. It details the components of the brainstem examination that are most relevant for patient management during induction, maintenance, and emergence from general anesthesia. The examination is easy to apply and provides important complementary information about the patient’s arousal level that cannot be discerned from vital signs and electroencephalogram measures.

Background: Breast is a very vital organ of a female’s body and females are veryconscious about it as they will be depressed if they have any disease or illness related to thisorgan. So prevention of diseases related to breast is very important. One of the vital screeningtechniques for early detection of breast cancer is Breast self-examination, thus knowledge andconsistent practice can protect females from severe morbidity and mortality of breast cancer.Objective: To assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding breast self-examination(BSE) among Post RN nursing students in Lahore. Study Design: Cross sectional stud designand stratified random sampling technique was used. Setting: Lahore school of nursing, TheUniversity of Lahore and Saeeda Waheed College, Fatima Memorial Hospital Lahore. Period:February 2015 to June 2015. Methods: Close ended questionnaire was used. Data was collectedfrom post RN nursing students of Saeeda Waheed College and The University of Lahore. Datawas analyzed by using SPSS version 20. Results: The responder knowledge of breast cancerand breast self-examination was (100%). 66.7% subjects said an ideal technique of doing breastself-examination is inspection and palpation both. 61.5% said breast self-examination done bypalpate with minimum of three fingers. 42.3% said yes Because, I don’t think it is important. 34.6%subjects said they have performed breast self-examination before and 65.4% no performedbreast self-examination. Conclusion: This study showed that nurses have knowledge regardingBreast Self-Examination but do not show positive attitude toward Breast Self-Examination. Thisstudy also shows that nurses do not practicing of Breast self-examination.

Examination plays a vital role in the present contemporary educational setting as well as serving as an indicator and yardstick to place students in relation to their examination scores after they undergo the examination. However, students at different educational levels experience examination anxiety, which can interfere with making right decisions either before or during examinations and is considered to be a phenomenon associated with low examination scores. Therefore, the present research study was aimed at determining the mediating effect of positive psychological strengths between study skills and examination anxiety among Nigerian college students. The study employed survey research on 315 Nigerian college students. The result of the path analysis shows that study skills (SSK) have a significant and direct relationship on examination anxiety. The mediation between positive psychological strength (PPS) and examination anxiety is identified as being effective and significant. Therefore, positive psychological strength (PPS) acts as an effective mediator towards examination anxiety.

The Intercollegiate Specialty Board (ISB) holds several examinations each year. The clinical section of these exams forms a key component in the assessment and subsequent completion of surgical training. commonly, the clinical sections are held in hospitals where one of the affiliated examiners holds a consultant position. although a particular hospital will usually host this examination only once in an examiner's career, with the addition of mrcS and medical school examinations, many clinicians will play some part in the organisation of a clinical examination at some time in their career. patient participation is vital to a successful clinical exam and we must never forget that these patients are volunteering themselves as well as their time for free.

Perforation is an acute abdominal presentation caused by sudden perforation of the base of gastric, duodenal and marginal ulcers. It is the most important complication of peptic ulcer requiring emergency surgical treatment. Stress, male gender, advanced age, heavy physical labor, and western societies have higher rates of peptic ulcer perforation. A 58-year-old male patient was admitted with complaints of intractable hiccups and abdominal pain. He did not have any known disease and vital examination was normal. Physical examination revealed diffuse abdominal tenderness and other system examinations were normal.

Vital sign measurements are essential in intensive care patients, such as in the ICU or emergency department, and also for newborns or prenatal babies. The duty nurse usually monitors these vital signs by manually writing down the patient's condition on a large piece of paper in front of the patient's room. The lack of nurses can hinder the process of monitoring patient vital signs. However, since the COVID-19 pandemic, people have limited contact with their surroundings, making measuring vital signs with contact uncomfortable and unhygienic. The typical non-contact method for measuring heart rate is the remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) technique. In this study, we proposed to assess the performance of various rPPG algorithms on the Indonesian subjects dataset. The algorithms used are CHROM, GREEN, ICA, LGI, PBV, PCA, and POS on 70 pieces of data. Based on the test results with three types of evaluation metrics, namely MAE (Mean Absolute Error), RMSE (Root Mean Square Error), and Bland Altman, it is found that the measurement results with the best performance POS algorithm with a low prediction error rate with the resulting MAE value of 2.59 and RMSE of 4.65.

Clinical examination skills are vital for the accurate assessment and diagnosis of patients. These skills also allow clinicians to differentiate between pathology requiring investigation or treatment and normal anatomy or physiology. This allows clinicians to avoid unnecessary tests and to be able to reassure a patient that their symptoms do not require treatment. However, an incomplete or faulty clinical examination can lead to missed diagnoses and patient harm. Although comprehensive clinical examination skills training is provided in the undergraduate curriculum of medical schools in the UK, little is known in relation to the teaching provided for nurses and allied health professions working in advanced practice roles. This survey sought to explore this phenomenon and uncover clinicians' experiences with regard to being taught a selection of specific clinical examination skills in theory and in practice, those skills being the core system examinations (respiratory, cardiovascular and peripheral vascular, abdominal, central and peripheral nervous systems) and a number of focused examinations (digital rectal and examination, thyroid, breast and genital examination for males and females). The findings demonstrate a concerning variability of educational experiences and a lack of educational coverage of some of the basic clinical examination skills in both theoretical and practical terms. These findings provide an insight into areas of future higher education curricula development as well as workplace mentoring and learning.

An old Victorian manse and its accumulations are especially potent symbols of place and memory. The old dwelling and garden stir collective as well as individual memories which are deeply personal and spiritual. Elements of the building, as well as old and new plantings in the garden, converge as unique and irreplaceable marks of human existence, nostalgia, and longing. The character of the house and garden is an exposition of European identity; my investigation is an attempt to explicate the hybrid nature of the manse through the lens of visual art to convey an atmosphere of age, memory, and continuity.<br>Master of Arts

Visiting Friends and Relatives (VFR) travel is a significant form of travel in terms of global travel numbers. However, research on VFR travel is small relative to its size. In particular, research regarding the role of hosts of VFR travellers in shaping their trips including travel decisions and activities has been examined by few researchers. No previous research explored the differences in hosting between immigrant and non-immigrant local residents despite VFR travel being commonly associated with migration in existing literature. Before this research, the differences between hosting friends and relatives had been neglected, resulting in VFR hosts being treated as one homogenous group. Previous research also failed to empirically test the influence of destination on the hosting of VFRs. Thus, this is the first study examining the hosting of VFRs through combining how migration, relationship types, and destination types, impact VFR travel experiences for hosts. Given that VFR travel is a significant component of Australia’s visitor numbers, and that it comprises a large immigrant population, Australia is a suitable setting for this study. Considering the multi-dimensional elements in the study, the “VFR Whole Tourism Systems Model” was used as the conceptual model for this study. Quantitative research was conducted nationally with 331 residents, collected through an online survey, assessing the differences and similarities in hosting behaviours. Qualitative research was undertaken through in-depth interviews with 34 local residents in three contrasting destinations in Victoria understanding the social interactions between VFR hosts and their visiting friends/relatives. Significant differences were found between immigrants and nonimmigrants regarding attracting VFRs and hosting experiences. Differences were also noted between hosting friends versus hosting relatives, and it was also determined that the destination types impact VFR hosting. Such findings have provided valuable insights regarding the economic and social benefits of promoting local marketing campaign targeting local residents.<br>Doctor of Philosophy

In light of impending demographic shifts and projected strain on healthcare systems, this thesis set out to progress our putative understanding of the benefits of physical exercise on mental health in older adults aged 65 years and over. Herein, four studies of divergent research design interrogated the current knowledge base relating to the potential benefits of exercise in older adults with depressive symptomology. Study 1 set out to establish preliminary experimental evidence that four years of unsupervised aerobic exercise can improve cardiorespiratory function (determined by VO2max) and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in lifelong sedentary ageing men compared with lifelong exercising athletes. Results demonstrated preliminary proof of concept for exercise-induced benefits on cardiorespiratory function and HRQL in ageing men. Study 2 surveyed community-dwelling older adults (n = 586) to establish a hierarchy of exercise-associated factors to predict depressive symptomology. Contrary to expectation, exercise behaviour did not confer additional antidepressant effect, but was substantially predicted by exercise-induced mood, exercise self-efficacy, and social support (f2 = 0.993). Study 3 pooled evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) to quantitatively compare the treatment effectiveness from aerobic, resistance and mind-body exercise training in older adults with pre-existing clinical depression, whereas Study 4 followed the same methodology in apparently health older adults without pre-existing clinical depression. Using network meta-analytical techniques, both clinical depressed (g = -0.41 to -1.38) and apparently healthy (g = -0.27 to -0.51) older adults demonstrated equivalent effectiveness for aerobic, resistance, and mind-body exercise interventions, with encouraging levels of study compliance. Taken together, these findings encourage personal exercise preference when prescribing either aerobic, resistance, or mind-body exercise as a treatment adjunct for clinical depression and older adults with symptoms thereof. The sum of works herein provide new knowledge to guide exercise prescription for stakeholders in mental health and older adults over 65 years.<br>Doctor of Philosophy

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
There is renewed interest in exercise genomics that peripheral blood RNA expression may be important to understand exercise mediated adaptations to exercise. However, there is little direct supporting evidence. Therefore, this thesis involved two studies to examine the relationship between RNA expression and exercise, and two experimental studies to examine relationships and adaptive response of peripheral blood RNA in sedentary compared with athletic phenotypes. In the first two studies, we conducted both meta-analysis and network meta-analysis to examine current randomised controlled trial (RCT) evidence to determine current best evidence on the link between RNA expression and athletic phenotype in addition to head-to-head comparison of different exercise types to induce differential expression of RNA transcripts in sedentary compared with athletic phenotypes. We observed that current available body of RCTs in peripheral blood exercise genomics presents too large heterogeneity in study design, methodological and data reporting aspects. Thus, we concluded that peripheral blood cannot be established as a valid source for identifying, neither the effect of physical exercise training on transcriptomic markers nor the distinction of divergent transcriptomic profiles in response to different exercise modalities. In the third and fourth studies, we aimed to determine whether peripheral blood RNA and circular RNA (circRNA) expression was different between sedentary and athletic phenotypes, and whether these transcripts were consistent in response to exercise training in exercise-naïve men. To achieve this, we conducted two STROBE compliant observational experiments of n=71 participants with distinct athletic phenotypes. We concluded that peripheral blood transcriptome expression might allow for identification of divergent athletic phenotypes, although this is not supported by further examination of peripheral blood RNA expression levels in response to an exercise training intervention. The sum of works presented in this thesis does not agree with many propositions relating to the strength of evidence in peripheral blood transcriptomics literature. This is principally due to the heterogeneity and lack of consistency of research in this field which is currently insufficient to provide any strong conclusions. In conclusion, peripheral blood RNA and circRNA do not yet offer useful avenues to predict the adaptive response to different exercise types in athletic and non-athletic men.<br>Doctor of Philosophy

The study sample was comprised of 18,953 subjects aged 18 years and older who participated in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Preference for diet soda over regular soda was higher in females as compared to males and in Caucasians as compared to other races. Mean alcohol consumption was almost three times higher in males than in females. Undiagnosed hypertension was more common in males than in females, in 65-90 than in 50-64 year olds, and in people with less than high school education compared to those with higher education. Diastolic pressure was correlated with the level of consumption of diet soda, coffee, tea, and alcohol. Diet soda and alcohol consumption had a statistically significant positive relationship with hypertension even after adjusting for demographic variables and body mass index. The study provides useful information of the patterns of beverage uses and the prevalence of hypertension in the United States.

The United States continues to be affected by a severe, long-standing nursing shortage that is not projected to resolve within the next 10 or more years. Unsuccessful passage of the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) among graduate nurses remains one of several key contributors to the nursing shortage. The goal of this study was to identify if either cumulative fall semester GPA; the overall prenursing science, mathematics, and English GPA; type of high school background; TOEFL score; clinical pass or fail; and on-time program completion best predicted passage of NCLEX-RN. Archived records from the academic years of 2006-2010 of students/graduates of a small, private BSN program were analyzed. A nonconcurrent, prospective design of secondary data was guided by the theoretical implications of the Seidman retention formula that surmises that early identification of academic problems is a necessary precursor to implementations that promote academic success. Significant, positive correlations were found between GPA of prenursing courses and achievement in clinical courses and on-time nursing program completion. Forward and backward, logistic regression procedures revealed that clinical performance was the strongest predictor of NCLEX-RN success but with an inverse relationship. Implications for positive social change include retention of BSN students to improve graduation rates. This ultimately will foster achievement on the NCLEX-RN, resulting in more graduates will be able to competently serve the health care needs of individuals and communities and alleviation of the nursing shortage.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an umbrella term that encompasses chronic bronchitis, emphysema and airway obstruction. COPD patients are also prone to acute exacerbations (AECOPD) caused primarily by viral and bacterial infection, which leads to an increase in inflammation, a worsening of symptoms and can lead to death. There is an unmet clinical to better understand and treat AECOPD as well as COPD in general, but this is hindered by unreliable animal models of COPD and AECOPD. The aim of this thesis was to establish an animal model of COPD that could be exacerbated by an infectious agent. Firstly an LPS model of COPD was established in the guinea pig, which resulted in a macrophage and neutrophil inflammatory profile, emphysematous changes, a decrease in lung function and partial steroid insensitivity that could be partially reversed with low dose theophylline. Human parainfluenza 3 virus failed to cause any infection in the guinea pig, so a model of AECOPD could not be established in this model. A chronic cigarette smoke model in the mouse was established, which again demonstrated a similar phenotype to COPD. This model was able to be exacerbated by the bacteria nontypeable Haemophilus influenza (NTHi) with increases in neutrophils and the neutrophil chemoattractant CXCL1. However, it was also observed that while NTHi could exacerbate the model, responses to NTHi in cigarette smoke challenged mice compared to sham challenged animals were impaired, with significant decreases in CXCL8, TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-10. This impairment was also observed in monocyte derived macrophages (MDMs) challenged with cigarette smoke extract (CSE) with significant impairment of Il-1β, while chronic LPS challenge also impaired Il-6 and phagocytosis. The data in this thesis highlights a possible increase in steroid responses by low dose theophylline in an LPS model in the guinea pig. It has also demonstrated chronic cigarette smoke exposure in the mouse can be exacerbated by NTHi, however the inflammatory response is impaired compared to sham challenged animals suggesting that cigarette smoke impairs the innate immune response. MDMs also demonstrated an impaired response to NTHi after CSE or LPS challenge.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
The presence of exogenous DNA in the cytosol results in the activation of the DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS). cGAS produces the second messenger cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) which binds to and activates the endoplasmic reticulum adapter STimulator of INterferon Genes (STING). Activated STING initiates transcription of the anti-viral cytokine interferon-b, and by extension, induces activation of the anti-viral immune response. Other DNA sensors have been proposed to recognise exogenous DNA via STING but their relevance to the cGAS-STING pathway is unclear. Interferon-g inducible protein 16 (IFI16) is a putative DNA sensor that has also been proposed to induce interferon-b transcription via STING. This thesis demonstrates that both IFI16 and cGAS are required for full activation of immune responses to DNA and DNA virus infection in human immortalised keratinocytes (HaCaT). The cGAS-STING pathway was examined in IFI16(-/-) HaCaT cell lines to conclusively determine the contribution of IFI16 to DNA sensing. IFI16(-/-) HaCaT cell lines produced drastically reduced levels of interferon-b, interferon-stimulated genes and pro-inflammatory cytokine mRNAs following stimulation with exogenous DNA due to reduced activation of the STING pathway. IFI16 was observed not influence cGAS activity as DNA-induced cGAMP levels were comparable between Wild type and IFI16(-/-) cell lines. IFI16 was required for STING signalling following cGAMP stimulation. IFI16 was found to interact with STING promoting STING phosphorylation and translocation to peri-nuclear foci. Additionally, in preliminary experiments we observe that IFI16 may be required for STING palmitoylation. Thus, we propose that IFI16 and cGAS co-operate for the full activation of DNA sensing in HaCaT cells.

Background: Approximately 170 million persons are infected with the hepatitis C viral infection (HCV), globally. Of this number, 3.2 – 4 million persons in the U. S. are infected with HCV. Although previous research has indicated a decrease in the rates of Hepatitis C in the U.S. approximately 12,000 deaths occur annually from those who suffer from chronic liver disease, as a result of being chronic carriers of HCV. Being a recipient of blood transfusions prior to 1992, intravenous drug users (IDUs), or persons with multiple sex partners are associated with increased risk for HCV infection. IDUs constitute the largest cohort for those infected with HCV. Due to the few clinical manifestations HIV and HCV share and HIV patients living longer due to Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART), Many individuals infected with HIV are discovering co-morbidities with HCV. Methods: Secondary Data from the State Electronic Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (SENDSS) were used to analyze all confirmed cases of hepatitis C in the state of Georgia for the year 2009. All subjects in this analysis were confirmed as Hepatitis C infected. Descriptive frequencies for all categorical data were tested and analyzed, which included: gender, race, geographic region, disease status, age distribution, risk factor data such as injection drug use, blood transfusion prior to 1992, long term hemodialysis, accidental needle stick, tattoo, sexual contacts, and incarceration. Binary logistic regression for univariate and multivariate analysis was used to test the associations between geographic region of all HCV cases and their demographic characteristics. Results: Descriptive analysis of the prevalence of HCV cases in Georgia in 2009 reveal higher rates of HCV in rural regions (GOA) of the state among White males of non-Hispanic origin. In this same region, these cases were more likely to report risk factors involving injection drug use, blood transfusions prior to 1992, incarceration, or tattoos. Prevalence of most cases of HCV in Georgia for the year 2009 are seen in those age 20 – 30 and those 40 – 60. A higher number of those reporting intravenous drug use in metropolitan Atlanta (MSA) are Black of non-Hispanic origin. Bivariate logistic regression reveals that White Non-Hispanics living in rural areas of Georgia (GOA) have a 3.48 higher odds of being infected with Hepatitis C than Black Non-Hispanics (OR = 3.48, p < 0.001, CI 2.54 – 4.77). Conclusion: Resources for prevention of Hepatitis C should be directed to marginalized communities within Georgia regions outside of the Atlanta Metropolitan Statistical Area. The primary focus of prevention should also be tailored to new initiates of intravenous drug use and those 20 – 30 and 40 – 60 years of age. Further knowledge and understanding of behaviors that put individuals at risk for acquiring Hepatitis C, such as intravenous drug use, in rural Georgia may warrant interventions tailored to benefit these communities from acquiring or spreading Hepatitis C.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography presents an interdisciplinary examination of trans and genderqueer subjects in medieval hagiography. Scholarship has productively combined analysis of medieval literary texts with modern queer theory – yet, too often, questions of gender are explored almost exclusively through a prism of sexuality, rather than gender identity. This volume moves beyond such limitations, foregrounding the richness of hagiography as a genre integrally resistant to limiting binaristic categories, including rigid gender binaries. The collection showcases scholarship by emerging trans and genderqueer authors, as well as the work of established researchers. Working at the vanguard of historical trans studies, these scholars demonstrate the vital and vitally political nature of their work as medievalists. Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography enables the re-creation of a lineage linking modern trans and genderqueer individuals to their medieval ancestors, providing models of queer identity where much scholarship has insisted there were none, and re-establishing the place of non-normative gender in history.

Ranging over a host of issues, Property Rights: A Re-Examination pinpoints and addresses a number of theoretical problems at the heart of property theory. Part 1 reconsiders and refutes the bundle of rights picture of property and the related nominalist theories of property, showing that ownership reflects a tripartite structure of title, the right to immediate, exclusive, possession, and the power to licence what would otherwise be a trespass, and to transfer ownership. Part 2 explores in detail the Hohfeldian theory of jural relations, in particular liberties and powers and Hohfeld’s concept of ‘multital’ jural relations, and shows that this theory fails to illuminate the nature of property rights, and indeed obscures much that it is vital to understand about them. Part 3 considers the form and justification of property rights, beginning with the relation an owner’s liberty to use her property and her ‘right to exclude’, with particular reference to the tort of nuisance. Next up for consideration is the Kantian theory of property rights, the deficiencies of which lead us to understand that the only natural right to things is a form of use- or usufructory-right. Part 3 concludes by addressing the ever-vexed question of property rights in land.

A thorough head and neck examination is one of the fundamental abilities in clinical practice as well as one of the most vital. Since the face is the primary thing humans notice when they meet somebody for the first time, it is also relatively easy to observe symptoms that manifest on the face. However, accurately understanding and interpreting these symptoms can be challenging. Health professionals needs to be able to correctly assess the patient’s head and neck area as well as being able to detect the abnormalities. This chapter highlights the anatomy and basics of the physical examination of the head and neck region, while also providing clinical information about the findings from the examination of the head and neck.

The musculoskeletal system is an organ system consisting of bones, muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage that support the body, allow movement, and protect vital organs. Musculoskeletal problems can occur at any age for many reasons, including congenital, developmental, postural, traumatic and neoplastic. Because the musculoskeletal system is related to many systems, such as the nervous system, circulatory system, respiratory system, endocrine system, and gastrointestinal system, it is an important system for health assessment. The goal of musculoskeletal assessment is to identify potential problems by evaluating risk factors, to examine the dysfunctions that may occur in this system, and to identify the need for health education about protective behaviors. This chapter presents the essential components of a comprehensive musculoskeletal examination using a systematic approach. These include assessment of posture, gait, balance, coordination, measurement of extremities, measurement of range of motion of all joints, assessment of muscle strength, and basic special tests for wrist, spine, hip, and knee problems. Emphasis is also placed on prevention of common problems related to musculoskeletal health and health promoting behaviors.

A “health assessment” refers to the process of evaluating a person’s overall health and well-being. This assessment is usually performed by health care professionals, such as physicians, nurses, or other health care professionals. The goal of health assessment is to gather information about various aspects of a person’s health in order to make informed decisions about his or her medical care, develop care plans, take appropriate action, or monitor the patient’s progress. Nursing assessment usually includes two main components of health assessment: Interview and physical examination. Nurses interview patients to gather information about their medical history, current health problems, medications, allergies, and lifestyle habits. This helps establish a good rapport with the patient and provides valuable information for assessing their health. Nurses perform a physical examination to assess the patient’s overall health. The physical examination of the patient begins with the measurement of vital signs (such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature). Body systems such as the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, and musculoskeletal system are then examined. Observation, palpation, percussion, and auscultation are the four assessment methods used in the physical evaluation of systems. Health assessments by nurses occur not only at a patient’s initial presentation, but also at regular intervals throughout the patient’s care. Regular health assessments help monitor changes in the patient’s health, evaluate the eff ectiveness of interventions, and adjust the plan of care accordingly. Health assessment is a fundamental aspect of nursing practice because it enables nurses to provide patient-centered care and contribute to a positive patient outcome.

AbstractBoundaries are an essential feature of an organization and integral to the on-going process of organizing. Outsourcing not only disrupts the configuration of organizational boundaries but also compounds the safety management challenges faced by an organization. This chapter connects these two observations through an examination of the composite nature of the organizational boundary. Misalignment between organizations in one or more of the three clusters of processes (physical, mental or social) that comprise the boundary create differences which may contribute to the safety management challenges commonly experienced in outsourcing. Boundary spanning skills that manage these processes are vital for successful working relationships between organizations but are rarely taught in safety training.

AbstractAlthough the social structure of Turkish society has changed from a broad family order to a nuclear family, family relations still hold an important place, where traditional elements dominate. Still, elderly people are cared for by their family in their home environment. Thus, the role of family members is crucial in taking care of elderly individuals. In Turkey, the responsibility of care is largely on women; the elderly’s wife, daughter, or daughter-in-law most often provides the care. Family members who provide care need support so that they can maintain their physical, psychological and mental health. At this point, Antonovsky’s salutogenic health model represents a positive and holistic approach to support individual’s health and coping. The salutogenic understanding of health emphasizes both physical, psychological, social, spiritual and cultural resources which can be utilized not only to avoid illness, but to promote health.With the rapidly increasing ageing population globally, health expenditures and the need for care are increasing accordingly. This increase reveals the importance of health-promoting practices in elderly care, which are important for the well-being and quality of life of older individuals and their families, as well as cost effectiveness. In Turkey, the emphasis on health-promoting practices is mostly focused in home-care services including examination, treatment, nursing care, medical care, medical equipment and device services, psychological support, physiotherapy, follow-up, rehabilitation services, housework (laundry, shopping, cleaning, food), personal care (dressing, bathroom, and personal hygiene help), 24-h emergency service, transportation, financial advice and training services within the scope of the social state policy for the elderly 65 years and older, whereas medical management of diseases serves elderly over the age of 85. In the Turkish health care system, salutogenesis can be used in principle for two aims: to guide health-promotion interventions in health care practice, and to (re)orient health care practice and research. The salutogenic orientation encompasses all elderly people independently of their position on the ease-/dis-ease continuum. This chapter presents health-promotion practices in the care of elderly home-dwelling people living in Turkey.

Abstract Recent advances in External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA) methodologies have restored confidence in pipeline operators who rely on this approach to assess the integrity of their pipeline assets. This is partially because of improvements in ECDA technologies to integrate multiple inspection techniques into one integrated pipeline inspection technique that ensures improvement in reliability while reducing the time and cost to collect data, and to process, analyze and report inspection results. It is now possible to accurately pinpoint direct examination locations and confidently predict the outcome of direct examination digs with comprehensive analysis of indirect inspection data even before excavation. These advances have also led to improvements in the interpretation of indirect inspection data such that direct examination locations are accurately selected to pinpoint and address locations at which external corrosion activity has occurred, is occurring, or may occur. Successfully identifying regions for excavation is vital as it substantially reduces costs by avoiding unnecessary digs and downtime due to potential failures. This is a significant benefit to diligent pipeline operators wanting to justify every budget to avoid exploring suspicious indicator while ensuring that every possible measure is taken to improve pipeline integrity and preserve the pipeline asset. This paper will show how precise selection of direct examination location can reduce unnecessary and costly excavations for pipeline operators while making sure that most susceptible locations are addressed to prevent future wall loss from external corrosion. Presentation of data from integrated indirect inspection techniques and proven case studies confirming how the use of ECDA approach can confidently predict the outcome of direct examination will be presented. In addition, statistical analysis drawn from recent projects, that compare the predicted and outcome of several ECDA digs and lesson learnt will be presented to strongly demonstrate improvements in ECDA methodologies.

Abstract The wrought nickel alloys containing high chromium and molybdenum levels are of vital importance to the chemical process industries. Not only do they resist hydrochloric and sulfuric acid, which are among the most corrosive chemicals, but also they withstand the insidious effects of chloride-induced pitting and crevice corrosion. While the corrosion characteristics of the wrought nickel alloys have been studied extensively, there is a dearth of information concerning the corrosion behavior of their welds and heat-affected zones (HAZ), in effect the weak links in any welded structure. In this study, welds and heat-affected samples of a relatively new nickel alloy, containing 22% molybdenum and 15% chromium, were tested in hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and ferric chloride, allowing comparison of their uniform corrosion behavior and pitting resistance with those of the wrought, base material. The all-weld-metal (AWM) samples were prepared by gas metal arc (GMAW/MIG) welding, and the simulated heat-affected zone samples were created using resistive heating. Like many wrought nickel alloys containing high levels of chromium and molybdenum, the new material exhibits a single phase (gamma), face-centered cubic structure in the solution annealed and quenched condition, but has a tendency to form alternate second phases at temperatures between about 500°C and 1100°C, where the solubilities of chromium and molybdenum in gamma phase are exceeded, and there is sufficient thermal energy for diffusion. Furthermore, residual levels of carbon and silicon can also promote the nucleation and growth of second phases during excursions to temperatures in this range, as encountered during welding. Molybdenum-rich M6C carbides and topologically closed packed (TCP) phases are known to be problematic in materials of this type, since they nucleate rapidly at the alloy grain boundaries, rendering them susceptible to preferential attack. As micro-castings, welds of the nickel alloys are generally more prone to attack, due to compositional differences within the grains, and the possibility of setting up permanent anodic and cathodic sites on the weld surfaces. In this study, the corrosion tests were augmented by metallographic examination of the microstructures of the various simulated weld regions and the forms of corrosive attack.

Abstract Centrifugally cast materials, namely HK40, HP Modified, and Micro-Alloy materials, are used for tube materials in steam reformer tubes. The material undergoes various stresses resulting in damage which can manifest itself in several ways. The quantification of damage is of vital importance if tube life is to be predicted accurately. A comprehensive inspection system has been developed to assess the exact degree of damage. The technology utilizes several NDE techniques, including ultrasonic and eddy current examinations. The combination of techniques provides valuable date for the prediction of the remaining life of tubes. Field experiences and findings are discussed in the paper.

The inclusion of women in information technology companies and software development processes is vital for fostering diverse perspectives and innovative problem-solving. We analyzed 793 instances representing globally distributed software development teams, aiming to show that female-led teams outperform male-led ones. Through descriptive statistics and Welch’s t-test, we confirmed this hypothesis. Using a decision tree with only three inputs—female leadership presence, total team members, and female team members—we achieved 76.79% accuracy, significantly reducing computational time compared to using all 85 dataset attributes. This approach also informs recommendation systems for assembling development teams, emphasizing the value of gender diversity in enhancing team dynamics and solutions in the tech industry.

Increasing number of nations are moving to a green economy as a vital avenue to accomplish the objective of sustainable development, and China has made a mark among those countries. This study evaluated green economy efficiency (GEE) using the super slack-based measure (Super-SBM) model and empirically investigated the relationship between GEE and sustainable development (SD) using the mediation effect econometric model. The examination of this article led to the following results: (1) As China’s growth method was completing the transition of old and new drivers, its GEE and SD were both demonstrating a fluctuating increasing trend. (2) The influence of GEE on SD was nonlinear and exhibited an inverted U-shape, with moderate GEE encouraging SD and excessive GEE limiting SD. (3) The industrial structure upgrading (ISU) indicator had a substantial mediating role in the process of GEE influencing SD, where an increase in GEE improved ISU, which in turn promoted SD. Therefore, for improved SD, we need to comprehend the scale not to mindlessly pursue GEE, and should stress the function of ISU. Our results give vital insight for understanding the link between GEE and SD.

Abstract The calibration of flow meters that used in hydrogen transformation needs a reliable reference device such as sonic nozzles Therefore, critical flow factor (C*) for hydrogen must be calculated precisely through existing equations that is why it is important to investigate the achievable uncertainty in calculating this vital parameter. In addition, the quality and accuracy of thermophysical property experimental/modelled data plays a vital role in reaching the highest accuracy determination of C*. Therefore, in this study, an examination of the literature has been undertaken to target experimental measurements related to pure hydrogen, setting the stage for a comprehensive gap analysis followed by analysing various available equation of state models in predicting accurate thermophysical properties of pure hydrogen. We introduced new high pressure high temperature (HPHT) Fluid Property Test Rig to add new reliable thermophysical property data to the literature and also we presented C* values and validated our calculations with two calibration gases: nitrogen, and methane and their standardised C* values. Then, C* values for hydrogen were generated using this verified methodology in the context of the expanding role of sonic nozzles in hydrogen flow meter calibration. This study showed that C* calculations can be enhanced significantly by using the representative equation along with employing appropriate thermodynamic equations of state which are examined by high accurate new measured experimental data.

Predicting structural performance under seismic excitation and damage after the seismic event plays a vital role in life safety and economics. This study examines the vulnerability to earthquakes of a two-story 2D steel moment-resisting frame (SMRF) frame using the OpenSeesPy framework. The study utilizes non-linear static and time history analyses to evaluate the structures' reaction to seismic forces. The pushover analysis offers vital insights into the nonlinear behaviour of structures, whereas time history analysis considers the actual ground motion patterns in real-time. There is a lack of comprehensive assessments of machine learning (ML) progress within different areas of structural engineering. This includes a thorough examination of existing literature that can offer a timely evaluation of methods for assessing risk and resilience in the built environment. This study examines the performance of the selected ML classification techniques, such as Random Forest(RF), Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, K-Nearest Neighbours(KNN), LightGBM, CatBoost, Naïve Bayes, XGBoost, and AdaBoost. Binary classification is done to classify the data set as having low and high inter-storey drift. These predictions are useful to the government and other private companies for preparing an effective methodology to be followed after seismic events, efficient retrofitting and rehabilitation to extend the durability of existing structures, insurance estimates, decision-making in disaster risk reduction, and others.

Abstract This is a comprehensive study on the effect of equipment nozzle load on the metal compensator (also known as the expansion joint or bellows) utilizing the principles of solid mechanics and the Finite Element Method (FEM). Metal bellows-type joints/compensators are flexible components of the equipment or piping system that can accommodate thermal expansion, vibration, and movement. The ability to accommodate movement within the piping/equipment system is vital for ensuring its efficiency and safety. These expansion joints facilitate the necessary flexibility and mitigate the risk of potential damage or failure in equipment/piping design. The metal compensators are strategically positioned to address displacement challenges within the system, facilitating movement while maintaining stability. This study focuses on the force and moments generated by equipment nozzle load, which is crucial for the compensator’s functionality. When branch lines or nozzles are installed or present in proximity to thin-walled metal bellows-type expansion joints, they produce multidirectional loads and moments. The intricate design necessitates Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to assess the deflection and its stresses at different locations of the expansion joint. Torsion, or twisting, applies a rotational force to the joint, which must be minimized or eliminated. When these forces generate torsional moments on the expansion joint, it is necessary to employ accessories that effectively isolate the metal bellows from such effects, as these joints are not designed to accommodate substantial torsional loads. By employing such hardware, the expansion joint can perform its intended purpose of absorbing axial, lateral, and angular movements within the piping system, contributing to its overall reliability and performance. Solid mechanics concepts were utilized to convert these forces and moments into axial, lateral, and angular movements. FEM analysis employing ANSYS Tools further evaluated these movements, with the obtained data integrated into the fatigue evaluation process. The study also identifies torsional loads from sustained and occasional equipment loads, implementing effective restraint hardware to isolate the compensator and maintain shear stress within allowable limits. These methodologies provide valuable insights into the behavior of metal expansion joint assemblies under such conditions/equipment, allowing for the determination of maximum deflection caused by the resultant force and moment of the nozzle load.

Abstract A geotechnical survey was carried out in a swamp location in Niger Delta, Nigeria. The primary aim of the geotechnical investigation is to gather crucial data on the physical characterisation of soil consistency in the area. The investigation was carried out by conducting site characterisation, laboratory testing, and data analysis. As a result, the geotechnical survey was conducted on land, swamp, and water (river). Two (2) boreholes labeled BH1 and BH2 were dug on land, each of which is 40 meters deep. The sample rate for BH1 and BH2 is 0.75 meters. Based on the sample rate of 0.75 meters, soil samples collected for each borehole were 53 samples. A total of 106 soil samples were collected for BH1 and BH2. Six (6) boreholes were dug over water, each at a depth of 20 meters with a sample rate of 1 meter given the total soil samples collected to be 120 samples. The boreholes were dug to determine the contents of the soil in each location. BH1 revealed a clay formation from the ground surface to a depth of 11.0 meters, and fine sand was encountered with a band of clay between 11 meters and 20.25 meters. Clay was discovered from 20.25 meters to the final 40.0 meters of the investigation. Similarly, on BH2, a formation of clay was observed from the ground surface to a depth of 34.50 meters, and fine sand was encountered at 34.50 meters and 40.0 meters depth. The moisture content of the clay layers ranges from 31-163 %, indicating that the clay has a low to high moisture content, as is typical of marine clays, with bulk unit weights ranging from 12.52-19.44 kN/m3. The liquid limit values range from 88-140 %, the plastic limit from 27-42 %, and the plasticity indices from 61%- 98 %. The sand's SPT N-values range from 6 to 14, indicating that it is loose to medium-dense in compaction. Furthermore, the riverbed boreholes revealed entirely clay formation with no trace of sand within the depth explored. This information is vital for designing the surface structures to be erected in this location.

While the Islamic financial services industry has thus far been fortunate to avoid a large-scale crisis, valuable lessons can be learned from conventional finance in order to effectively manage any potential future challenges. Until now, the Islamic finance sector has a good track record of successfully resolving isolated issues at the national level in a timely and measured manner. This experience provides a strong foundation upon which to build robust crisis management protocols. The nature and pace of a crisis can vary significantly depending on the affected sector and the level of interdependence within that system. Banking crises, for instance, tend to unfold rapidly due to the vital role of liquidity. The ease with which assets can be withdrawn and the resulting impact on confidence further accelerates such financial emergencies. While the last three decades have witnessed a multitude of such events, a closer examination reveals both common threads and crucial distinctions. One common element across these crises is the erosion of trust in financial institutions. This can be triggered by excessive risk-taking, a mismatch between assets and liabilities, or external economic shocks. When confidence declines, deposit withdrawals escalate, creating a liquidity crisis that can quickly spiral out of control. The speed and severity of this phenomenon is often magnified by the interconnectedness of the modern financial system.

Reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) is an avian retrovirus that can cause immunosuppression, growth retardation and tumors. An attempt to define the extent of the economic damage to the poultry industry that it causes is discussed in this report. In addition to losses experienced by commercial laying flocks, reduced rates of hatchability and embryo developmental disorders were demonstrable due to vertical transmission of the virus. I. Eradication of REV In this project a comprehensive national program was applied for the eradication of REV from Israeli breeding stocks by the elimination of antibody-positive birds from the breeding program. The prevention of REV-infected breeders entering Israel was also implemented by serological examination of imported day-old chickens and turkeys for maternal antibody. At the same time commercial breeding flocks in Israel were surveyed routinely to measure the extent of environmental exposure to REV throughout Israel. II. Economic factors associated with vertical transmission on breeders and progeny It was observed that on some poultry farms exposure of breeding flocks to viral infection, if it occurs when the birds are immunocompetent, leads only to a seroconvertion event. In these flocks no differences were demonstrated between the performances of seronegative and seropositive birds. When the F1 generation was selected according to seronegativity of the parents, all the progeny were seronegative, indicating that tolerantly infected birds did not form a significant proportion of the parent flock. In sharp contrast, breeding flocks that became exposed to the virus about the point of lay or during the laying period, shed virus vertically for a brief period of time through the egg. Our epizootiological observations lead us to conclude that the progeny (laying pullets) becomes tolerantly infected and are immunosuppressed as they increase in age. Increased mortality and susceptibility to intercurrent diseases were recorded.

Rugose wood is a complex disease of grapevines, which occurs in all growing areas. The disease is spread in the field by vector transmission (mealybugs). At least five elongated-phloem- limited viruses are implicated in the various rugose wood disorders. The most fully characterized of these are Grapevine virus A (GV A) and GVB, members of a newly established genus, the vitivirus. GVC, a putative vitivirus, is much less well characterized than GV A or GVB. The information regarding the role of GVC in the etiology and epidemiology of rugose wood is fragmentary and no sequence data for GVC are available. The proposed research is aimed to study the etiology and epidemiology of rugose wood disease, and to construct genetically engineered virus-resistant grapevines. The objectives of our proposed research were to construct transgenic plants with coat protein gene sequences designed to induce post-transcriptional gene silencing (pTGS); to study the epidemiology and etiology of rugose wood disease by cloning and sequencing of GVC; and surveying of rugose wood- associated viruses in Californian and Israeli vineyards. In an attempt to experimentally define the role of the various genes of GV A, we utilized the infectious clone, inserted mutations in every ORF, and studied the effect on viral replication, gene expression, symptoms and viral movement. We explored the production of viral RNAs in a GV A-infected Nicotiana benthamiana herbaceous host, and characterized one nested set of three 5'-terminal sgRNAs of 5.1, 5.5 and 6.0 kb, and another, of three 3'-terminal sgRNAs of 2.2, 1.8 and 1.0 kb that could serve for expression of ORFs 2-3, respectively. Several GV A constructs have been assembled into pCAMBIA 230 I, a binary vector which is used for Angrobacterium mediated transformation: GV A CP gene; two copies of the GV A CP gene arranged in the same antisense orientation; two copies of the GV A CP gene in which the downstream copy is in an antigens orientation; GV A replicase gene; GV A replicase gene plus the 3' UTR sequence; and the full genome of GV A. Experiments for transformation of N. benthamiana and grapevine cell suspension with these constructs have been initiated. Transgenic N. benthamiana plants that contained the CP gene, the replicase gene and the entire genome of GV A were obtained. For grapevine transformation, we have developed efficient protocols for transformation and successfully grapevine plantlets that contained the CP gene and the replicase genes of GV A were obtained. These plants are still under examination for expression of the trans genes. The construction of transgenic plants with GV A sequences will provide, in the long run, a means to control one of the most prevalent viruses associated with grapevines. Our many attempts to produce a cDNA library from the genome of GVC failed. For surveying of rugose wood associated viruses in California vineyards, samples were collected from different grape growing areas and tested by RT-PCR for GV A, GVB and GVD. The results indicated that some of the samples were infected with multiple viruses, but overall, we found higher incidence of GVB and GV A infection in California vineyards and new introduction varieties, respectively. In this research we also conducted studies to increase our understanding of virus - induced rootstock decline and its importance in vineyard productivity. Our results provided supporting evidence that the rootstock response to virus infection depends on the rootstock genotype and the virus type. In general, rootstocks are differ widely in virus susceptibility. Our data indicated that a virus type or its combination with other viruses was responsible in virus-induced rootstock decline. As the results showed, the growth of the rootstocks were severely affected when the combination of more than one virus was present.

The goal of this proposal was to identify proteins of BLV recognized by lymphocyte subpopulations and determine the contribution of these proteins to viral pathogenesis. Our hypothesis was that BLV pathogenesis is governed by the T-cell response and that the immune system likely plays an important role in controlling the utcome of infection. Our studies presented in ths final report demonstrate that T cell competency declines with advancing stages of infection. Dramatic differences were observed in lymphocyte proliferation to recombinant proteins encoded by BLV gag (p12, p15, and p24) and env (gp30 and gp15) genes in different disease stages. Because retroviruses are known to mutate frequently, examinatin of infected cattle from both Israel and the United States will likely detect variability in the immune response. This combined research approach provides the first opportunity to selectively address the importance of T-cell proliferation to BLV proteins and cytokines produced during different stages of BLV infection. Lack of this information regarding BLV infection has hindered understanding lympocyte regulation of BLV pathogenesis. We have developed the essential reagents necessary to determine the prominence of different lymphocyte subpopulations and cytokines produced during the different disease stages within the natural host. We found that type 1 cytokines (IL-2 and IFN-g) increased in PBMCs from animals in early disease, and decreasd in PBMCs from animals in late disease stages of BLV infection, while IL-10, increased with disease progression. Recently, a dichotomy between IL-12 and IL-10 has emerged in regards to progression of a variety of diseases. IL-12 activates type 1 cytokine production and has an antagonistic effect on type 2 cytokines. Here, using quantitative competitive PCR, we show that peripheral blood mononuclear cells from bovine leukemia virus infected animals in the alymphocytotic disease stage express increased amount of IL-12 p40 mRNA. In contrast, IL-12 p40 mRNA expression by PL animals was significantly decreased compared to normal and alymphocytotic animals. To examine the functions of these cytokines on BLV expression, BLV tax and pol mRNA expression and p24 protein production were quantified by competitive PCR, and by immunoblotting, respectively. IL-10 inhibited BLV tax and pol mRNA expression by BLV-infected PBMCs. In addition, we determined that macrophages secret soluble factor(s) that activate BLV expression, and that secretion of the soluble factor(s) could be inhibited by IL-10. In contrast, IL-2 increased BLV tax and pol mRNA, and p24 protein production. These findings suggest that macrophages have a key role in regulating BLV expression, and IL-10 produced by BLV-infected animals in late disease stages may serve to control BLV expression, while IL-2 in the early stage of disease may activate BLV expression. PGE2 is an important immune regulator produced only by macrophages, and is known to facilitate HIV replication. We hypothesized that PGE2 may regulate BLV expression. Here, we show that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) mRNA expression was decreased in PBMCs treated with IL-10, while IL-2 enhanced COX-2 mRNA expression. In contrast, addition of PGE2 stimulated BLV tax and pol mRNA expression. In addition, the specific COX-2 inhibitor, NS-398, inhibited BLV expression, while addition of PGE2 increased BLV tax expression regardless of NS-398. These findings suggest that macrophage derived cyclooxygenase -2 products, such as PGE2, may regulate virus expression and disease rogression in BLV infection, and that cytokines (IL-2 and IL-10) may regulate BLV expression through PGE2 production.
