Assessing the knowledge, attitudes, and safety practices of aesthetic laser hair removal providers in British Columbia

Aesthetic laser hair removal (LHR) has gained global popularity. Guidelines are present to assist LHR operators in safely providing their services, however, there is a need for prescriptive measures in the regulations that govern Personal Service Establishment (PSE), which Environmental Health Officers (EHOs) enforce. Inadequate training can lead to improper use of the LHR device, which can cause various injuries or disorders to both the clients and the operator. Practitioners must be sufficiently trained and educated on the risks, hazards, and safety measures required to provide LHR services adequately. Therefore, LHR providers should be assessed to determine any discrepancies in safety knowledge.

Production of Prebiotic Galacto-Oligosaccharides from Acid Whey Catalyzed by a Novel β-Galactosidase from Thermothielavioides terrestris and Commercial Lactases: A Comparative Study

The steadily increasing global popularity of Greek strained yoghurt has necessitated alternative valorization approaches for acid whey, the major straining process effluent. In this context, prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharides can be enzymatically synthesized from acid whey lactose, via either commercial or novel β-galactosidases. A comparative study of galacto-oligosaccharide production from acid whey was carried out, employing two commercial β-galactosidases (from Kluyveromyces lactis and Aspergillus oryzae) and one novel, in-house produced (from Thermothielavioides terrestris), as a function of the initial lactose content and enzyme load. Selected reaction conditions for β-galactosidases from K. lactis, A. oryzae, and T. terrestris were 35 °C at pH 7.2, 45 °C at pH 4.5, and 50 °C at pH 4.0, respectively. Maximum galacto-oligosaccharide yields equal to 23.7, 23.4, and 25.7% were achieved with, respectively, 0.13 U/mL of K. lactis β-galactosidase in non-concentrated acid whey, 4 U/mL of A. oryzae β-galactosidase, and 8 U/mL of T. terrestris β-galactosidase in acid whey concentrated to 20% w/v initial lactose content. The increased galacto-oligosaccharide productivity of the thermophilic β-galactosidase from T. terrestris can be a determining asset in a combined concentration and oligomerization industrial process. This will allow for high galacto-oligosaccharide yields for efficient, cost-effective production of valuable prebiotics from acid whey.

Increasing the Safety of Patients Undergoing Breast Implant Surgery Using an Electronic Health Record Enhancement.

Breast implant surgery is a popular plastic surgery procedure performed worldwide. Despite its global popularity, patients undergoing breast implant surgery are at risk for systemic illness and more than one form of cancer. We conducted a nursing workflow analysis at our facility and determined that it is not standard practice to screen patients for the presence or absence of breast implant devices at every health care encounter. This lack of screening for breast implant devices may adversely affect patient safety by hindering the rapid identification of systemic illness or cancer related to breast implant devices and delaying effective medical intervention. Based on the results of the workflow analysis, we initiated a formal call for nursing action. We identified a nursing workflow process to increase patient safety and developed a universal screening tool for implantable devices. We defined universal screening for implantable devices as assessing all patients for the presence or absence of an implantable device, specifically breast implant devices, at every health care encounter. Implementing a universal process for screening patients for implantable devices at every health care encounter can be easily formulated into a policy and procedure and/or an electronic health record (EHR) update or enhancement. This article discusses how we utilized a workflow process map to translate universal screening for implantable devices into an EHR enhancement.

Simulations of X-59 sonic thumps and traditional sonic booms propagated around the world for three atmospheric models

Propagation simulations of sonic booms from supersonic aircraft through atmospheric data over time at fixed locations provide the opportunity to assess noise exposure statistics for different climate regions. Knowledge of climate-based differences in sonic boom noise exposure statistics is important to ensure that future civil supersonic aircraft noise certification standards are globally applicable and effective. In this presentation, simulated sonic booms from the NASA X-59 Quesst quiet supersonic aircraft and conventional supersonic aircraft were propagated through atmospheric data at 100 locations across the world using PCBoom. Noise exposure statistics are compared for propagation results from three different atmospheric databases (NOAA Global Forecast System, NOAA Climate Forecast System Version 2, and the ECMWF Reanalysis Version 5). These atmospheric models were chosen due to their global coverage, popularity, and database availability. Preliminary statistical models are fit to assess the impact of several factors including flight direction, season, ground elevation, and climate on noise exposure size and loudness. Areas with prevalence of higher noise due to their climate are identified, which could help inform future supersonic aircraft noise standards.

Can retired lithium-ion batteries be a game changer in fast charging stations?

As the global popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow, the demand for EV batteries has significantly increased. Unfortunately, when the battery state of health (SoH) reaches a certain value, the batteries may no longer meet the driving requirements of EVs, resulting in many retired batteries. Properly disposing of these batteries is a major challenge. In this paper, we will take fast charging stations (FCSs) as an example to evaluate the economic feasibility of reusing retired batteries, which is one of the most environmentally friendly methods of disposal. To make a fair comparison between fresh and retired batteries, a bi-level sizing framework is designed to determine the optimal sizes of fresh and retired batteries, as well as photovoltaic (PV) panels in FCSs, to minimize the total cost. To ensure the high fidelity of results, diverse EV travel patterns are considered to generate the charging power demand. Additionally, a dynamic battery degradation model focused on batteries that have not yet reached their turning point is developed. This model is designed to precisely quantify the gradual reduction in battery capacity. We conducted several representative case studies using real-world data, and the simulation results indicate that FCSs with fresh batteries can achieve 42.2 % cost savings compared to those without energy storage systems, while retired batteries can achieve an additional 5.41 %–11.79 % cost savings under different scenarios. These findings can be generalized that retired batteries are promising in small-scale applications due to the relatively low refurbishment cost, and a new market stream can be potentially generated in this direction.

A feasibility randomized controlled trial testing the use of indocyanine green fluorescence image-guidance in liver surgery compared to standard liver surgery alone in reducing microscopic positive tumor margin resection rate with an embedded qualitative study: the I-FIGS study protocol

Abstract Indocyanine green fluorescence image-guidance (I-FIGS) is gaining global popularity in liver surgery for various applications. However, its true clinical value in reducing microscopic positive margins (R1-resection rate) remains uncertain. To address this, a multi-center randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing I-FIGS with standard liver surgery is needed. However, due to a lack of essential information on potential R1 reduction rate, sample size, methodology, intervention delivery and patient experience, a feasibility RCT protocol has been developed to determine the viability of conducting a full-scale RCT. The aim of the study is to conduct a feasibility RCT (fRCT) with an embedded qualitative study to gather all the necessary information for a full-scale RCT. Adult patients undergoing elective liver surgery for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLMs), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or peripheral cholangiocarcinoma will be eligible for the study. Forty patients will be randomly assigned to either the control group (standard liver surgery) or the intervention group (standard liver surgery + I-FIGS). Patients in the I-FIGS group will receive intravenous injection of 0.03–0.05 mg/kg indocyanine green (ICG) dye 2–4 hours before the surgery. Data will be collected on demographics, screening, recruitment and retention rates, adherence to study methods, intraoperative details, postoperative histology, and experiences of both surgeons and patients. Interviews will be conducted with selected patients and surgeons to explore their experiences with the intervention. The protocol has been approved by the West-Midlands-Solihull Research Ethics Committee and registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05616039). The results will be disseminated through academic publications, congresses, newsletters and other platforms.

Technology development and industrialization trends of circulating nutrient solution supply systems: a review

Hydroponics, a soil-free plant cultivation technique, delivers nutrients directly to roots through a nutrient-rich solution. This method offers advantages over traditional soil-based approaches and has gained attention for its potential to revolutionize controlled agriculture. The review aimed to offer a summary of technological advancements and industrialization patterns in systems supplying circulating nutrient solutions. An intelligent nutrient management system enhances plant growth and productivity. The utilization of a circulating hydroponic cultivation setup can reduce environmental pollution and lower production expenses. As a result, circulating nutrient solution management systems are gaining global popularity, such as in the Netherlands, circular hydroponic cultivation has been advanced to over 95%. A limitation of circulation-type nutrient solution cultivation is the potential transmission and rapid formulation of pathogens during the recycling of discharged nutrient solutions. Addressing this concern, filtration and sterilization processes can offer viable solutions. To accelerate hydroponic farming, an integrated approach could be pursued, strengthen nutrient circulation management technology. This approach could aid in the implementation of such systems in countries like the Republic of Korea, where adoption of circulating hydroponic systems remains under 5%. The trend of technological advancement and industrial growth has been conducted through patent analysis and resources that have subsequently lead the way for the advancement of extensive hydroponic farming establishments. The cyclic hydroponic cultivation in the Republic of Korea was introduced in 2010, and based on the patent information, this endeavor gained momentum from 2020 onward. Furthermore, the analysis underscores the considerable potential of circulating nutrient solution supply systems as viable approaches for promoting sustainable and efficient food production. As a result, forthcoming research and innovation need to be tailored to the local context and prioritize user-centered methodologies, ultimately facilitating the integration and establishment of hydroponic systems in the Republic of Korea.

Neuroimaging Approach: Effects of Hot and Cold Germinated Wheat Beverages on Electroencephalographic (EEG) Activity of the Human Brain.

Neuroimaging studies using electroencephalography (EEG) have been crucial in uncovering brain activity in sensory perception, emotion regulation, and decision-making. Despite tea's global popularity, its temperature-related neural basis remains underexplored. This study investigated the effect of hot and cold germinated wheat beverages (HB and CB) in changes of brain waves using EEG. Four distinct approaches and topographical assessments were performed to gain deeper insights into the impact of EEG signals in the human brain. The four approaches showed different impacts of HB and CB intake, as all EEG spectral powers increased after drinking HB and decreased after consumption of CB. Significant increases in delta and theta waves were observed as a result of drinking HB, but significant decreases in alpha and beta waves were observed after drinking CB. The topographic maps illustrate the significant effects of HB more prominently than those of CB, displaying greater changes in delta, theta, and beta. These findings suggest the intake of HB is probably related to relaxation, calmness, mindfulness and concentration, while the intake of CB is related to alertness, attention, and working memory. Ultimately, the neuroscientific approaches provided in this study could advance consumer-based research on beverage consumption.

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for Environmental Screening of Solar Photovoltaic Utilities in Pulau Pinang, Malaysia.

Large-scale solar photovoltaic (LSSPV) farming activities have increased the global popularity of solar energy installations as one of the highest absolute generation growth rates of all renewable technologies. With higher gas and coal prices and rising carbon prices, have resulted in higher electricity prices, making distributed PV as an increasingly appealing alternative for consumers driving investment. However, due to a lack of suitable sites and environmental conditions, building large-scale installations is becoming increasingly challenging. There is a debate among many stakeholders and experts about the actual environmental benefits and consequences altered by this farming, which could have negative effects on both natural and anthropogenic settings. Hence, this paper focuses on the Environmental Impact Screening (EIS) by employing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as part of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) in examining the environmental impact arising from a LSSPV project in Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. The methodology for this study was conducted by evaluating results from in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders, including expert input from academicians, solar consultants, relevant local authorities, etc. This investigation proposed a multicriteria approach to conveying the main environmental aspects of the LSSPV project and assessing the magnitude of impact and significance generated by it. Large projects necessitate an evaluation to ensure that potential problems are identified and addressed early in the planning and design phases. This study had considered the environmental and chemical (EC) impacts, as well as occupational safety (OSH) and economic impact (EI). The data is then analyzed with AHP to determine the final component rankings. The final model provides a structured approach that incorporates detailed criteria that reflect the direct and indirect impacts arising from this LSSPV project, and it is intended to provide assessment magnitude and estimate scenarios based on different stakeholder perspectives in directing for a better decision. According to the study’s findings, sufficient environmental mitigation steps have been implemented prior to project completion to mitigate and gauge all potential environmental degradation.

The effect of smartphone addiction on vessel wall thickness, which is a predictor of atherosclerosis.

The increasing global popularity of smartphone usage has increased concerns about the negative effects of smartphone addiction, such as lack of sleep, sedentary life, bad eating habits, anxiety, stress, and depression, especially among the young population. These problems caused by smartphone addiction are also well-known risk factors for atherosclerosis. However, according to our observation, there is no research in the literature that directly shows the relationship between smartphone addiction and subclinical atherosclerosis. In this study, carotid intima-media thickness, an important surrogate marker in demonstrating subclinical atherosclerosis, was used to examine the relationship between smartphone addiction and subclinical atherosclerosis. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 96 high school students aged between 13 and 22 years. A smartphone addiction questionnaire consisting of 33 questions was applied to measure smartphone addiction. Along with the socio-demographic characteristics of the patients, factors such as eating habits, sleep patterns, and activity levels were also questioned. The mean carotid intima-media thickness was measured by an experienced sonographer according to the published and accepted methods. When we set the threshold for smartphone addiction at over 66 points, we discovered that the group with smartphone addiction had considerably thicker carotid intima-media (0.68 ± 0.2 versus 0.45 ± 0.1; p < 0.001). In addition, logistics regression analysis had shown that smartphone addiction level independently affects the carotid intima-media thickness (odds ratio:1.111; %95 GA:1.057-1.168, p < 0.001). Smartphone addiction may help prediction of subclinical atherosclerosis via carotid intima-media thickness among teenagers.

The power of empathy and positive emotions in enhancing the communication of environmental issues: a case study of ‘wandering elephant in Yunnan’ on twitter

Media narratives in environmental communication often broadcast scientific and complex information from the perspective of professional experts, and while focusing on emotions, fear and worry are being among the most frequently studied. However, the effectiveness of these strategies in raising public awareness has been questioned. Animals are recognized as one of the critical indicators of the ecological environment, therefore defining the most effective strategies that will draw public’s attention to wildlife conservation is an important issue. Actions aimed at increasing the public’s interest and dissemination of related content are the key elements of environmental communication. Based on that, we focus our empirical research on the event known as the Wild Elephant Northward Migration in Yunnan, which gained global popularity in 2021. Choosing Twitter to collect our data, we used text mining methods to investigate 1230 tweets, exploring the mechanism of empathetic narrative in wildlife protection. The study has found that the themes such as warm feelings, diverse subjects, and scientific presentation can help to attract attention, enhance participation, and stimulate sympathetic responses. However, it is also necessary to pay attention to the lack of public participation in environmental issues, being a consequence of audience’s preference for entertaining content, among others. Instead of focusing on negative emotions or scientific language, we aim to provide a new perspective on environmental communication narratives in the era of social media by emphasizing the role of warm emotions in triggering audience’s interaction.

The Nostalgic Negotiation of Post-TV Legibility in &lt;i&gt;Mom, Don’t Do That!&lt;/i&gt;

The success and legibility of South Korean Netflix dramas like Squid Game (2021) have reinforced the position of Korean television dramas (K-dramas) at the forefront of both Asian and global entertainment. As one of the major consumers of Korean Wave products, Taiwan’s entertainment industry necessarily situates itself regionally, transnationally, and globally in relation to and in response to K-dramas’ dominance. The recently released Taiwanese Netflix television series Mom, Don’t Do That!&amp;nbsp;(媽,別鬧了!, 2022) is a key development in Global Taiwanese television drama that reflects on and responds to the unabating Korean Wave (Hallyu or K-Wave) and the regional and global popularity of K-dramas on Netflix and other post-television over-the-top (OTT) media-viewing platforms. By alluding to the genre conventions that characterize Taiwanese prime time Hokkien dialect (Minnan) dramas and Taiwanese Mandarin idol-dramas, Mom Don’t Do That! (MDDT) strategically encourages a transnational nostalgia toward a golden era of Taiwanese dramas. This nostalgia, in turn, strategically allows MDDT to negotiate a new position for global Taiwanese television drama, challenging K-dramas’ ubiquity and Netflix’s curative influence on global media-consumption cultures. MDDT self-reflexively stages the domestic obsolescence of television, juxtaposes their screen-mediated food-consumption practices with the mediated foodways that have come to characterize the K-Wave, and highlights the unlikely and unhealthy nature of K-drama’s romantic tropes and archetypes. These strategic moves variously establish MDDT as a sustained metacommentary on the K-drama-dominated, post-TV conditions that continue to shape media-viewing practices and cultures of today.

BTS is a music group from South Korea which has global popularity around the world. As a music group that has global popularity, BTS influence on social media is quite large, with this influence making many companies interested in making them Brand Ambassadors (BA). A company can do a sentiment analysis of the public figure they want to make BA, later this sentiment can be taken into consideration for them to be able to determine the BA of their product. Sentiment analysis can also be used to distinguish the attitude of customers, users or followers towards a brand, topic, or product with the help of their reviews. Based on this, this study will analyze the sentiments of Twitter users towards music group BTS, using the Knowledge Discovery Database (KDD) research methodology, with 5 stages namely Data Selection, Data Preprocessing, Data Transformation, Text Mining and Evaluation. By using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm with a linear kernel, this study will do 3 scenarios with the distribution of training data and testing data 90:10 in scenario 1, 80:20 in scenario 2, and 70:30 in scenario 3. Confusion Matrix is used to evaluate the performance of the algorithm used and the results show that the best performance of the model formed is in scenario 1 and scenario 2.

The Role of Social Media Benefits in Affecting Purchase Intention to Reserve a Liveaboard Phinisi Trip in Labuan Bajo

Tourism has emerged as a key driver of economic growth, leading to a significant emphasis on maximizing consumption within the industry. Bali, as one of Indonesia's prominent tourism destinations, is renowned for its natural beauty and rich culture, attracting not only domestic travelers but also tourists from around the world. Recognizing the global popularity of Bali, the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy launched the '10 Bali Baru' program, aiming to promote and enhance the appeal of ten other local tourist destinations to rival Bali's success. Among these destinations is Labuan Bajo, which offers tropical landscapes and a unique experience with Liveaboard Phinisi trips. This study focuses on bolstering the tourism industry in Labuan Bajo through social media marketing efforts that can attract tourism consumers' intention to book Liveaboard Phinisi tours. To achieve this, a quantitative approach was employed, gathering data from over 200 survey respondents in Indonesia and conducting data analysis using PLS-SEM. The research findings offer valuable marketing insights to increase purchase intention for domestic tourism products through effective social media marketing strategies.

Debating the “Chineseness” of a mobile game in online communities

After its global popularity and commercial success, Genshin Impact, a Chinese-developed, Japanese anime-style mobile game, provokes online discussions on whether such a game of cultural hybridity exemplifies “authentic Chineseness.” Based on online ethnography in the fan communities, this article investigates a two-year debate on whether GI should be considered a symbol of China’s “cultural export” to other countries. It reveals that players construct multiple meanings of authentic Chineseness, including GI’s integration of Chinese cultural elements, telling “the China story,” and its patriotism and “political correctness” in China. This article contributes to the project of de-westernizing cultural studies by revealing how the meanings of cultural authenticity are constructed in a Global South context. Moreover, players situate “Chineseness” in the power relations among China, Japan, and the West, and associate cultural appropriation in the increasing hybridization process with global soft power competition. It reveals that the construction of cultural authenticity as a relational concept is shaped by others defined in a contingent, contextual, and multilateral way, and that the construction process is conditioned by domestic and international power relations, thus contributing to the project of going beyond dichotomous thinking in cultural studies.

Safe Production Strategies for Soil-Covered Cultivation of Morel in Heavy Metal-Contaminated Soils.

Morel is a popular edible mushroom with considerable medicinal and economic value which has garnered global popularity. However, the increasing heavy metal (HM) pollution in the soil presents a significant challenge to morels cultivation. Given the susceptibility of morels to HM accumulation, the quality and output of morels are at risk, posing a serious food safety concern that hinders the development of the morel industry. Nonetheless, research on the mechanism of HM enrichment and mitigation strategies in morel remains scarce. The morel, being cultivated in soil, shows a positive correlation between HM content in its fruiting body and the HM content in the soil. Therefore, soil remediation emerges as the most practical and effective approach to tackle HM pollution. Compared to physical and chemical remediation, bioremediation is a low-cost and eco-friendly approach that poses minimal threats to soil composition and structure. HMs easily enriched during morels cultivation were examined, including Cd, Cu, Hg, and Pb, and we assessed soil passivation technology, microbial remediation, strain screening and cultivation, and agronomic measures as potential approaches for HM pollution prevention. The current review underscores the importance of establishing a comprehensive system for preventing HM pollution in morels.

Influence of COVID-19 on night-time lights in Czechia

ABSTRACT Night-Time Light (NTL) satellite imagery is widely recognized and valued as a powerful tool for spatial analysis and research. Despite its global popularity, there is absence of similar studies dealing with NTL intensity in Czechia. Using VIIRS/DNB data, our study focused on analyzing the changes in night-time light intensity before and during the coronavirus restrictions. These restrictions had a substantial impact on social and economic life, particularly during the peak of pandemic, affecting not only Czechia but also other regions worldwide. A mosaic of the study area was prepared, followed by the aggregation of the original raster data to municipalities with extended power (MEPs) and calculation of the average light index (ALI). The resulting typology made it possible to identify regional differences in NTL intensity. The main hypothesis was confirmed, it was observed that the ALIexhibited a decrease of 18% in 2020, whereas in 2021, the decline averaged at 9%.

The development of an instructional model to promote Chinese reading and writing skills for university students

Because of the expanding global popularity of the language, more Thai colleges and universities have begun to offer Chinese language lessons in recent years. Yet, Thai teachers and students continue to struggle with how to teach and improve Chinese reading and writing skills. This research aimed to develop an instructional model based on second language acquisition theory to promote Chinese reading and writing skills for university students in the northeast of Thailand and study the results of the implementation. The participants were fifty second-year students majoring in Chinese from the faculty of humanities and social sciences of a public university. The instruments were an expert evaluation form, lesson plans, self-study reading quizzes, Chinese reading skills tests, a Chinese writing skills assessment form, and a questionnaire. Content analysis, mean, and also standard deviation were used to analyze the collected data. Thus, the findings revealed that the developed instructional model had the highest level of quality and appropriateness, which consisted of five components, including syntax and sequence, the social system, the principle of reaction, the support system, and the effect of the instructional model. The results of the implementation revealed that students’ Chinese reading and writing skills had improved, and the student’s attitudes toward learning with the developed instructional model were at a very high level. It is believed that this research could be beneficial for second-language Chinese students and teachers as well as other relevant parties involved in international Chinese education and research.
