Permeation of human scent through laboratory examination gloves.

It is generally accepted in the canine detection industry that a barrier (such as a glove) should be used between a human and evidence or canine training aids in order to prevent contamination and cross-contamination as well as protect the handler from hazardous materials. However, no studies exist evaluating this assumption. Further, there is no published literature examining the different types of gloves for their utility in handling evidence or training materials used in canine detection work. This study was the first of its kind to address these gaps in the literature. First, GloGerm™ was used as a proxy for human scent and odor(s)/particulate(s) to visualize potential contamination. Then, three types of gloves (nitrile, two layers of nitrile, latex, and polyethylene) were tested for the permeation of human scent using furfural as a proof of concept, followed by pooled human sweat. Finally, the inherent odor of each glove type was identified. Two analytical techniques were used simultaneously as static and standoff dynamic detection systems, respectively: solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) and direct analysis in real time-mass spectrometry (DART-MS). Using a double layer of nitrile gloves was the most effective in preventing furfural permeation from the analytical standard, while a single layer of nitrile prevented furfural from permeating from human sweat up to 2h. Polyethylene gloves allowed the highest amount of furfural permeation but had no inherent odor detected. Headspace analysis detected two compounds for nitrile gloves and four compounds for latex gloves, but the nitrile compounds had a higher relative abundance.

Intentions and confidence as predictors of mental health first aid: Findings from a longitudinal study.

Mental health first aid (MHFA) training can improve confidence and intention to help a person with a mental health problem, but there is limited research exploring whether this results in better support provided. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between a person's confidence and intention to help with the quality of support provided. Australian public servants who had received MHFA training or Physical First Aid training (n =152) completed questionnaires exploring attitudes and skills for assisting someone at work with a mental health problem. Data on confidence and intention to help was used to predict quality of support provided at 1 and 2-year follow-up. Data were analysed using linear and logistic regression. Intention to help predicted the quality of support for assisting someone at work at follow-up (rs=0.15-0.20, p <.0.05), while confidence in providing help only predicted quality of support 1-year later (rs = 0.42, p =.032). These relationships were significantly attenuated after controlling for personal stigma, desire for social distance, gender, age, language spoken at home, level of education and whether participant managed staff. Furthermore, there were some large associations between intentions to perform specific first aid actions and carrying out the same action at follow-up such as for encouraging professional help at 2-year follow-up (OR=8.20, p <0.05). Findings indicate that intended actions to support a person with a mental health problem can predict the quality of support provided up to 2 years later. Future research should clarify whether this support benefits the mental health of recipients.

Emulating the “pucker factor”: Faith, fidelity and flight simulation in Australia, 1936–58

In the two decades after 1936, the assessment and instruction of aviators was transformed by adopting synthetic training aids. These devices were typified by the Link Trainer, an ersatz aeroplane that taught basic piloting skills and instrument flying. Purchased both by Australian civil operators and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), Link Trainer use proliferated from 1939. After 1945, an escalating accident rate led the RAAF to consider an emergent technology: flight simulators. Developed in the UK and USA, Dehmel-style flight simulators were powered by analogue computers to emulate specific aircraft types. Drawing upon Korean War experience and Canadian precedents, in 1956 the RAAF took delivery of Australia's first flight simulator, Redifon's model C.773 for the Avon Sabre fighter. Integrating both military and civilian experience, this article argues that western faith in flight simulators often ran ahead of their capabilities and fidelity to ‘seat of the pants’ flying.

Analysis of non-hazardous canine training aids for triacetone triperoxide (TATP)

The purpose of this study was to analyze the headspace of non-hazardous canine training aids for triacetone triperoxide (TATP) that are currently available either for purchase or developed by a United States government entity. A total of eight training aids were analyzed using solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC–MS) to qualitatively identify the volatile compounds present in relative quantities over time until the depletion of TATP. At Time 0, ScentLogix™ had the highest relative abundance (211.2 ± 13.1 analyte/external standard (A/E)). While the SOKKS® aid contained no TATP, the aid with the lowest relative abundance at Time 0 was TOIDS (5.4 ± 0.7 A/E). As expected based on the abundance results, ScentLogix™ lasted the longest (at least 45 weeks) and TOIDS lasted the shortest period of time (2 days). However, ScentLogix™ also had the highest number of headspace components (acetone, diacetone alcohol, diacetone diperoxide, and TATP). Four of the tested training aids contained only TATP in the headspace: Odor Print, TOIDS, Getxent, and TATP POCR. Only four of the aids provided blanks (Getxent, TrueScent®, TA-SPOT®, and POCR), with the Getxent blank resulting in the lowest matrix odor. The manuscript concludes with a discussion of several considerations related to non-hazardous canine training aid selection, including the use of blanks, cost, storage, purity, and longevity.

Analysis of the visual aid effectiveness in engineering education

The article is devoted to the analysis of the effectiveness of the use of modern electronic visual aids (Trello virtual whiteboard, Core platform, Mind Maps, interactive books) in the engineering training of future specialists. The growth of digitalization and the abundance of information in all areas of life, including education, offer teachers and students to solve most educational problems using digital technologies and visual aids. The quality of the educational information received and processed by students, as well as the insufficient development of the use of relevant electronic visual means at the present stage of the development of the educational system makes our research relevant. The empirical basis of the study was the teaching of one of the disciplines of the Master's program of engineering training of the National Research University "MEI" of the Department of Philosophy, Political Science, Sociology named after G.S. Arefieva. In the 2020/21 and 2021/22 academic years, a pedagogical experiment was conducted as part of teaching the second-year masters of the discipline "Organizational Behavior": part of the groups studied traditionally, the other part — with the use of new educational resources. During the study, visual learning aids (Mind Maps and interactive books), the peculiarities of information perception, including educational ones, were examined in detail, the domestic and foreign experience of using visual aids in teaching humanities disciplines was studied, the effectiveness of using several modern aids and services in engineering education at a technical university was tested. The article describes the features of the experiment, presents its results and analysis, and formulates recommendations for the effective use of modern visual aids for university training.

The problem of pre-medical care skills training in higher education

The article focuses on the pre-medical training of applicants for non-medical higher education. The organizational and legal principles of training and first aid are analyzed. The need to involve a wide range of people without medical education in the provision of pre-medical care was emphasized and substantiated. For this purpose, appropriate training should be organized. In particular, authors recommended to resume the studying of the discipline "Fundamentals of pre-medical care" in different educational institutions or to include the pre-medical care skills training to the course «Life safety» with an increase in academic hours. Additionally, it was emphasized that when teaching the course "Fundamentals of pre-medical care", it is necessary today to take into account the peculiarities of its provision in the war zone. The article highlights a list of basic skills of pre-medical care that must be acquired by higher education students, regardless of their profession. Training sessions are an effective form of education for knowledge acquisition and the formation of practical pre-medical care skills.

Validating the Use of Amputated Limbs Used as Cadaver Detection Dog Training Aids

Cadaver detection dogs (CDDs) are trained to locate human remains and/or objects associated with human remains. This is possible due to their extraordinary olfactory capabilities compared to those of humans. To reinforce this capability, CDDs must be trained and regularly exposed to the target odor in the form of training aids which include—chemical formulations, animal remains, and/or human remains. Currently, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) use amputated limbs/feet from consented surgeries performed on diabetic patients as cadaver detection dog training aids. There is limited knowledge about the volatile organic compound (VOC) composition of these training aids and their appropriateness as an alternative to human remains for CDD training purposes, which formed the aim of the current study. VOCs were collected from amputated lower limbs/feet repeatedly using thermal desorption (TD) tubes and analyzed with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography—time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC-TOFMS). The response of cadaver detection dogs to these training aids was also recorded to understand their alert in the context of the detected VOCs. VOC classes including acids, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ester and analogues, ethers, aliphatic, cyclics, sulfur-containing, nitrogen-containing, and halogen-containing VOCs were identified. Of these classes, cyclic VOCs were most abundant followed by nitrogen-containing VOCs while ethers were the least abundant. The most prominent VOCs identified in amputated limbs/feet were decomposition related however, one VOC—sevoflurane, originated from anaesthesia during the surgeries. It was determined that the VOC profile of aged and relatively recent training aids were variable. The aged training aids sampled over time had less variability (compared to more recent training aids). Additionally, the VOC profiles of samples was not found variable owing to the storage conditions—room temperature, refrigerator or freezer. Overall, a 98.4% detection rate was observed for amputated limbs/feet used as CDD training aids and the presence of non-decomposition related VOCs such as sevoflurane did not appear to impact the CDDs’ detection capability. This study highlights that the presence of decomposition VOCs in amputated limbs/feet and their high detection rate by CDDs validates their use as alternative CDD training aids.

DeepBacs for multi-task bacterial image analysis using open-source deep learning approaches

This work demonstrates and guides how to use a range of state-of-the-art artificial neural-networks to analyse bacterial microscopy images using the recently developed ZeroCostDL4Mic platform. We generated a database of image datasets used to train networks for various image analysis tasks and present strategies for data acquisition and curation, as well as model training. We showcase different deep learning (DL) approaches for segmenting bright field and fluorescence images of different bacterial species, use object detection to classify different growth stages in time-lapse imaging data, and carry out DL-assisted phenotypic profiling of antibiotic-treated cells. To also demonstrate the ability of DL to enhance low-phototoxicity live-cell microscopy, we showcase how image denoising can allow researchers to attain high-fidelity data in faster and longer imaging. Finally, artificial labelling of cell membranes and predictions of super-resolution images allow for accurate mapping of cell shape and intracellular targets. Our purposefully-built database of training and testing data aids in novice users’ training, enabling them to quickly explore how to analyse their data through DL. We hope this lays a fertile ground for the efficient application of DL in microbiology and fosters the creation of tools for bacterial cell biology and antibiotic research.

Blockchain Assisted Disease Identification of COVID-19 Patients with the Help of IDA-DNN Classifier.

Globally, millions of people were affected by the Corona-virus disease-2019 (COVID-19) causing loads of deaths. Most COVID-19 affected people recover in a few spans of weeks. However, certain people even those with a milder variant of the disease persist in experiencing symptoms subsequent to their initial recuperation. Here, a novel Block-Chain (BC)-assisted optimized deep learning algorithm, explicitly improved dragonfly algorithm based Deep Neural Network (IDA-DNN), is proposed for detecting the different diseases of the COVID-19 patients. Initially, the input data of the COVID-19 recovered patients are gathered centered on their post symptoms and their data is amassed as a BC for rendering security to the patient's data. After that, the disease identification of the patient's data is performed with the aid of system training. The training includes '4' disparate datasets for data collection, and then, performs preprocessing, Feature Extraction (FE), Feature Reduction (FR), along with classification utilizing ID-DNN on the gathered inputted data. The IDA-DNN classifies '2' classes (presence of disease and absence of disease) for every type of data. The proposed method's outcomes are examined as well as contrasted with the other prevailing techniques to corroborate that the proposed IDA-DNN detects the COVID-19 more efficiently.

Personalized care planning and shared decision making in collaborative care programs for depression and anxiety disorders: A systematic review.

Collaborative care is an evidence-based approach to improving outcomes for common mental disorders in primary care. Efforts are underway to broadly implement the collaborative care model, yet the extent to which this model promotes person-centered mental health care has been little studied. The aim of this study was to describe practices related to two patient and family engagement strategies-personalized care planning and shared decision making-within collaborative care programs for depression and anxiety disorders in primary care. We conducted an update of a 2012 Cochrane review, which involved searches in Cochrane CCDAN and CINAHL databases, complemented by additional database, trial registry, and cluster searches. We included programs evaluated in a clinical trials targeting adults or youth diagnosed with depressive or anxiety disorders, as well as sibling reports related to these trials. Pairs of reviewers working independently selected the studies and data extraction for engagement strategies was guided by a codebook. We used narrative synthesis to report on findings. In total, 150 collaborative care programs were analyzed. The synthesis showed that personalized care planning or shared decision making were practiced in fewer than half of programs. Practices related to personalized care planning, and to a lesser extent shared decision making, involved multiple members of the collaborative care team, with care managers playing a pivotal role in supporting patient and family engagement. Opportunities for quality improvement were identified, including fostering greater patient involvement in collaborative goal setting and integrating training and decision aids to promote shared decision making. This review suggests that personalized care planning and shared decision making could be more fully integrated within collaborative care programs for depression and anxiety disorders. Their absence in some programs is a missed opportunity to spread person-centered mental health practices in primary care.

Interprofessional collaborative practice in the treatment of HIV among pregnant women: a scoping review

Background : The occurrence of HIV among pregnant women has an impact on the process of pregnancy and childbirth which further leads to the need for interprofessional collaborative practices between health workers in the treatment of HIV among pregnant women. Objective : The aim of this study was to scrutinize the interprofessional collaborative practices in the treatment of HIV among pregnant women. This was achieved by clarifying if and how implementation of scientific study was used in the interprofessional collaborative practices in the treatment of HIV among pregnant women. Â Method : To map relevant literature, a scoping review was conducted to articles published between January 2015 and December 2020, guided by a method consists of five stages approach. Specifically, the following academic databases were systematically searched to identify publications that presented findings on identifying scoping review questions with the PEOS framework (Population, Exposure, Outcome, Study Design), identifying relevant articles using the PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Grey Literature (Google Scholar) Information about each study was extracted using a purposely designed data extraction form and database with keyword with keywords, carrying out the Critical Appraisal using Hawker tools, charting and compiling data, summarizing and reporting results. Results : Of the 60 articles with relevant titles and abstracts, 4 articles were identified to meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria with grade A. Besides, four themes were found, namely roles, barriers, interpersonal communication, and patient-centred services in the interprofessional collaborative practices of HIV treatment among pregnant women. Conclusion : The role of midwives and doctors was indispensable in implementing informed consent, counseling, HIV screening, and HIV treatment training. The barriers encountered by midwives and doctors were the lack of clinical skills, limited infrastructure such as teaching aids for training, the lack of funding budget from policy makers, and the lack of communicative competence. As suggestion for the next review, this review could submit register review protocols-namely, PROSPERO and the Joanna Briggs Institute to ascertain by searching databases and the online platforms of organizations.

Needs assessment and impact of mental health training among doctor of pharmacy students

IntroductionMental illness is extremely prevalent, yet many pharmacy students get little exposure to mental health training. The majority of studies assessing mental health training and Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) are focused on undergraduate programs. This study critically evaluated the impact of MHFA on pharmacy students' knowledge, confidence, and perceptions as they pertain to mental health, as well as the appropriateness of MHFA as a training course for pharmacy students. MethodsThere were two parts to this study: (1) a pre−/post-survey that assessed the impact of MHFA on pharmacy students as well as the appropriateness of MHFA for students at this level of education and training and (2) a college-wide survey that assessed the impact of mental health training of any type on confidence in mental health-related skills and the perceived usefulness of mental health training for pharmacy students. ResultsParticipants of the MHFA portion of the study demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in knowledge of mental health-related topics and confidence to interact with someone experiencing mental illness (P < .05) after completing the MHFA course. Perceptions of mental illness did not improve significantly following a single training. The college-wide survey (N = 275) revealed a significantly higher confidence level among students who had previously completed any mental health training program compared to those who had not (P < .05). ConclusionsMHFA training significantly increased students' knowledge and confidence in approaching and interacting with persons experiencing mental illness.

Visual aids in teaching ukrainian as a foreign language

The significantly accelerating pace of life and the increasing amount of information along with the emergence of new cognitive features of modern students have triggered the necessity to select the appropriate ways of presenting educational information. One of the ways to solve the problem is to involve various aids for visualizing knowledge, by providing language and communicative samples during the language training process of foreign students at Ukrainian higher education institutions. This article reveals the essence of the visualization concept, substantiates its use in teaching the Ukrainian language to foreign students, and covers the principles of visual aids selection such as goal orientation, functionality, complexity, and system quantization. The article provides the experimentally tested types of educational materials created with the help of visualization, such as infographics, word clouds, mental maps, memes, and wimmelbuchs. It is proved that the implementation of visual aids in the educational process also has a positive effect on the formation of cognitive interests, and improves the development of such qualities as initiative, independence, and tolerance in intercultural communication. The obtained results show that the selected types of visual aids foster the conscious acquisition of the Ukrainian language, the formation of aspect language skills, and the development of language skills as the basis of communicative competence of foreign students. The authors outline the role of Ukrainian teachers: to create such visual aids which not only complement the language materials but also reflect the socio-cultural context, i.e., form part of the Ukrainian-speaking environment. The use of the proposed set of visual aids for language training of foreign students provides ample opportunities for the formation of phonetic, lexical-grammatical, and communication skills, creates the effect of immersing a foreigner in the linguistic and cultural context visualizing each fragment of communicative interaction in brief form, and at the same time fulfills the function of a visual stimulus for communication.
