Status of Professional Identity, Self-Directed Learning Competence, and Self-Efficacy Among Central Sterile Supply Department Nurses.

BACKGROUND Previous studies on professional identity, self-directed learning competence, and self-efficacy among central sterile supply department (CSSD) nurses are rare. We investigated the status of these 3 characteristics among CSSD nurses and offered suggestions, to provide a reference for CSSD talent development. MATERIAL AND METHODS CSSD nurses working in 45 hospitals in southwest China were invited to participate in a questionnaire survey in August 2021. The survey comprised a general information questionnaire, a self-directed learning competence rating scale, a professional identity scale, and a general self-efficacy scale. RESULTS The CSSD nurses' scores for professional identity, self-directed learning competence, and self-efficacy were 109.92±17.161, 125.77±21.316, and 26.92±6.633, respectively. For professional identity, statistically significant differences were identified (P≤0.05) for 3 factors: monthly income, reason for studying nursing, and reason for working in the CSSD. For self-directed learning competence, statistically significant differences (P≤0.05) were identified for 5 factors: age, hospital grade, type of employee, monthly income, and reason for working in the CSSD. For self-efficacy, statistically significant differences were identified (P≤0.05) for 3 factors: age, reason for studying nursing and working in the CSSD, and whether the CSSD nurses wished their children to become nurses. CONCLUSIONS The professional identity, self-directed learning competence, and self-efficacy of the CSSD nurses in this study were at the medium level. More attention should be paid to career planning of young nurses and improvement of their professional identity and self-directed learning competence.

Enhancing Roles: Teaching the Teachers Through EHR Documentation and Associated Quality of Care Analysis.

Electronic health records (EHR) are designed to promote patient safety, workflow efficiency, and communication (HealthIT.gov). Competency in the use of an EHR is essential for both undergraduate and graduate nursing students. Masters prepared nurse educator students may become clinical faculty in schools of nursing or clinical nurse educators in hospitals or out-patient settings after graduation. A gap exists in preparing future nurse educators to teach EHR-specific skills to their future nursing student populations and in promoting patient safety through quality improvement initiatives. The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate experiential learning activities for Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) nurse educator students aimed at preparing them to teach EHR-specific skills to undergraduate nursing students and in utilizing an EHR query activity to develop quality improvement plans.

Analysis of Opaque, Peel-Off and Flex Rejects in the Electro Plating Process Using the Six Sigma Dmaic Method

The modern manufacturing industry is faced with increasing pressure to achieve high levels of quality while remaining efficient in its production processes. One of the challenges faced by PT. Plating services in electroplating production have a high reject rate, which can cause increased costs and have a negative impact on the company's reputation. PT. Jasa Plating in the production process still has a high number of rejects, the rejects are dominated by opaque, peel-off and spots. PT. Plating services for each production contribute a high average of 2% defects per day, DPMO 20,000 and Sigma value 3.55. Quite a few rejections resulted in a decrease in turnover and increased production costs. The costs incurred due to these rejects are an average of Rp. 1,268,593 per day and an average of Rp. 35,698,907 per month as a result of data collection from January – September 2023. In this business process, this is very detrimental for the company. The aim of this research is to suppress blurry rejects, peel-offs and spots in the electro plating process at PT. Plating Services. The steps taken in conducting research include: identification stage, data collection and processing, analysis and recommendations for improvement, and conclusions. The method used in this research is the Six Sigma DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analysis, Improvement, Control) method. Through analysis, you can find several factors that cause high reject rates, including operational errors, discrepancies in the production process, or raw material quality problems. After implementing the improvement plan, then evaluate the results. This can include re- measuring the DPMO, analysis of the resulting products to see a decrease in reject rates, and comparisons between before and after implementing improvements. From the comparison results after the repairs were carried out, the data before the repairs were carried out, the NG amount was 1.99%, the DPMO was 6,646 and the Sigma value was 3.98. After improvements to NG 0.84%, DPMO 2,791 sigma value 4.28. Factors causing high levels of blurring, peel-off and spots, namely insufficient or excessive cleaning of the metal surface before the electroplating process, can cause problems such as peel-off. Contamination of the electroplating solution by foreign materials can cause blurring and flecks in the final layer. Machinery or equipment that is not properly calibrated, or experiences wear and tear, can produce products that do not meet standards. Variations in temperature, time, or electric current in the electroplating process can produce inconsistent coatings. Carefully monitor and control process-parameters to ensure stability.

Penerapan PCA dan Algoritma Clustering untuk Analisis Mutu Perguruan Tinggi di LLDIKTI Wilayah IV

The Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) is a guideline used by universities to assess the quality of performance and implementation of higher education internally. SPMI is very important to be considered by universities in order to compete positively with other universities, both at home and abroad, as well as to improve the management and implementation of higher education in the institution. In this study, three machine learning algorithms are applied, namely K- Means, Mean Shift, and DBSCAN, to cluster SPMI data. The methods used include Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to reduce data complexity without losing important information, and three clustering algorithms to group universities based on similarity of quality indicators. The K-Means algorithm clusters data based on distance to the nearest centroid, Mean Shift identifies clusters based on data density, and DBSCAN clusters data based on density and is able to handle outliers and irregularly shaped clusters. The results show that Mean Shift produces the best cluster with Silhouette Score 0.566, Davies- Bouldin Index 0.648, and Calinski-Harabasz Index 971.07. The K-Means algorithm provides quite good results with Silhouette Score 0.466, Davies-Bouldin Index 0.757, and Calinski-Harabasz Index 757.06. Meanwhile, DBSCAN has lower performance with Silhouette Score 0.216, Davies-Bouldin Index 1.045, and Calinski-Harabasz Index 105.67. This research provides the results of identifying universities that need special attention and helps in strategic planning for quality improvement so that they can carry out guidance more effectively and contribute to the development of a quality assurance system for higher education in Indonesia.

Characteristics of low, moderate and high severity trauma hospitalisations in a health region of Aotearoa New Zealand-10-year review.

To describe the incidence, characteristics, outcomes and hospital costs of patients admitted to hospital following trauma in a health region in Aotearoa New Zealand over a 10-year period. A retrospective, observational study used data from the Te Manawa Taki (TMT) regional trauma registry to identify patients of all ages and injury severities that were admitted to hospital following injuries from 2013 to 2022, inclusive. This study reports on incidence of injuries with regard to age, gender, ethnicity, injury severity score (ISS), injury characteristics and direct cost to TMT facilities. Searches identified 60,753 trauma events leading to patient admission to hospitals in the TMT region. Of these, 81.9% were low-severity trauma, 10.2% were moderate-severity trauma and 7.9% were high-severity trauma. There were statistically significant relationships between gender, ethnicity and ISS category. Males were more likely to be hospitalised for any traumatic injuries. High-severity trauma is dominated by road traffic injuries and low-severity trauma is dominated by falls. Advanced age was associated with higher injury severity. The direct cost of trauma care to TMT hospitals increased by 122% during the 10-year period. The study has identified the incidence, demographic features, severity, costs and outcomes for trauma patients admitted to hospitals in the TMT region of Aotearoa New Zealand over a continuous 10-year period. The volumes and costs of injury represent a significant burden on the health system, individuals and communities. Detailed understanding of the causes and costs of injuries of all severities will inform prevention activities, clinical quality improvement and health service planning.

Development and Implementation of a Safety Incident Report System for Health Care Discipline Students During Clinical Internships: Observational Study.

Patient safety is a fundamental aspect of health care practice across global health systems. Safe practices, which include incident reporting systems, have proven valuable in preventing the recurrence of safety incidents. However, the accessibility of this tool for health care discipline students is not consistent, limiting their acquisition of competencies. In addition, there is no tools to familiarize students with analyzing safety incidents. Gamification has emerged as an effective strategy in health care education. This study aims to develop an incident reporting system tailored to the specific needs of health care discipline students, named Safety Incident Report System for Students. Secondary objectives included studying the performance of different groups of students in the use of the platform and training them on the correct procedures for reporting. This was an observational study carried out in 3 phases. Phase 1 consisted of the development of the web-based platform and the incident registration form. For this purpose, systems already developed and in use in Spain were taken as a basis. During phase 2, a total of 223 students in medicine and nursing with clinical internships from universities in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Spain received an introductory seminar and were given access to the platform. Phase 3 ran in parallel and involved evaluation and feedback of the reports received as well as the opportunity to submit the students' opinion on the process. Descriptive statistics were obtained to gain information about the incidents, and mean comparisons by groups were performed to analyze the scores obtained. The final form was divided into 9 sections and consisted of 48 questions that allowed for introducing data about the incident, its causes, and proposals for an improvement plan. The platform included a personal dashboard displaying submitted reports, average scores, progression, and score rankings. A total of 105 students participated, submitting 147 reports. Incidents were mainly reported in the hospital setting, with complications of care (87/346, 25.1%) and effects of medication or medical products (82/346, 23.7%) being predominant. The most repeated causes were related confusion, oversight, or distractions (49/147, 33.3%) and absence of process verification (44/147, 29.9%). Statistically significant differences were observed between the mean final scores received by country (P<.001) and sex (P=.006) but not by studies (P=.47). Overall, participants rated the experience of using the Safety Incident Report System for Students positively. This study presents an initial adaptation of reporting systems to suit the needs of students, introducing a guided and inspiring framework that has garnered positive acceptance among students. Through this endeavor, a pathway toward a safety culture within the faculty is established. A long-term follow-up would be desirable to check the real benefits of using the tool during education.

핵심역량 기반의 비교과 프로그램 성과 분석 연구

Objectives The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of extra-curricular program on strengthening core competencies of universities, based on the results of a satisfaction survey of the writing clinic using competency-based survey questions. In addition, this study seeks to present problems and improvement plans in the performance analysis of the current competency-based extra-curricular program. Methods For this purpose, a satisfaction survey was analyzed among S University students who participated in the writing clinic. The S University writing clinic is a program linked to the university writing class called &lt;Thoughts and Expression&gt;, and is an individual instruction course that helps students taking the class write academic writing. Satisfaction surveys prior to 2022 were not linked to university core competencies, so it was not possible to measure the impact of extracurricular program on improving core competencies. For this reason, we developed questions linked to S University's core competencies and conducted a satisfaction survey in the second semester of 2022. After finding problems and revising the questions, we conducted and analyzed a satisfaction survey in the first and second semesters of 2023. Results The results of the satisfaction survey showed that the writing clinic was helpful in cultivating all of S University’s core competencies, and among them, the cultivation scores for ‘competence in practicing ethics’ and ‘competence in exploring professional knowledge’ were high. This result is understood to be a phenomenon that occurred because the target was ‘academic writing’, which was an assignment in the &lt;Thinking and Expression&gt; class, and was influenced by the type of writing that was the target of the writing clinic and the instructors’ inspection points during the clinic process. Conclusions As a result of analyzing the case of S University, it is clear that extra-curricular program contribute to cultivating the university’s core competencies, but it is problematic to uniformly apply the core competencies set by the university to all programs. Therefore, it is suggested to apply it selectively, focusing on competencies with high suitability. In addition, how to link the university's core competencies and writing competencies and introduce them into performance management will be a future task.

Ecotoxicity threshold values for 4-hydroxychlorothalonil, carbendazim, dimethoate and methoxyfenozide in fresh and marine waters: Part 1. Derivation of threshold values

Pesticide active ingredients are frequently detected in the rivers, creeks, wetlands, estuaries, and marine waters of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) region and are one of the main contributors to poor water quality. Pesticide concentrations detected in the environment through water quality monitoring programs can be compared against estimates of ecologically “safe” concentrations (i.e., water quality guidelines) to assess the potential hazard and risk posed to aquatic ecosystems. Water quality guidelines are also required to estimate the aquatic risk posed by pesticide mixtures, which is used for the Reef 2050 Water Quality Improvement Plan pesticide target. Seventy-four pesticide active ingredients and their degradates are frequently detected in GBR catchment waterways, however many do not have water quality guidelines in the Australian and New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality. The current study derives ecotoxicity threshold values (ETVs) as unendorsed guideline values for active ingredients in two fungicides (4-hydroxychlorothalonil (fungicide degradate) and carbendazim) and two insecticides (dimethoate and methoxyfenozide) that are commonly detected in GBR catchment waterways. The proposed ETVs have been derived using species sensitivity distributions, as recommended in the Australian and New Zealand nationally endorsed method for deriving water quality guidelines for aquatic ecosystem protection. Four ETVs were derived for each chemical with values that should theoretically protect 99, 95, 90 and 80 % of species (i.e., PC99, PC95, PC90, PC80, respectively). The PC99 and PC95 values for 4-hydroxychlorothalonil, carbendazim, dimethoate and methoxyfenozide were 0.49 μg/L and 4 μg/L, 0.029 μg/L and 0.45 μg/L, 0.11 μg/L and 5.8 μg/L and 0.19 μg/L and 2 μg/L, respectively. The ETVs will be used in an ecological hazard and risk assessment across GBR waterways in part two of this study. The ETVs can also be used to assess potential risk across Australia and internationally where monitoring data are available.

Assessment of oat (Avena sativa) varieties unveiled the variation in nutritional quality

The present study was carried out during 2022 at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab designed for the exploration and characterization of different oat varieties to understand their potential for physical, gravitational, functional, nutritional, and extraction of β-glucan parameters. All studied varieties showed variability in the grain and flour quality of oats. The preference of a variety based on nutritional and functional parameters contingent on this evaluation could help a satisfactory basis for future oat crop improvement plans for feed and food security. The current scientific intervention suggests that oat variety OL 1876-2 might be a suitable choice for β-glucan extraction due to its high content with promising nutritional and functional benefits. These findings may open a new avenue for further research on utilization of oats for food purpose that could cater the imminent demands of health conscious people.

The Docking of Talent Training Strategies and Job Market in Higher Vocational Colleges Under the Background of Slow and Difficult Employment

Students in higher vocational colleges are faced with difficult problems such as slow employment, which highlights the dislocation between education and the market. This study surveyed thousands of students and hundreds of enterprises, and put forward docking strategies. The analysis shows that the mismatch between skills adaptation and literacy is the main cause of slow employment. To this end, research and design training programs, including curriculum restructuring, school-enterprise cooperation practice platforms, and employment-oriented quality improvement plans are imperative. At the same time, we will develop teaching modules for career planning to enhance competitiveness and ensure that the content is synchronized with industry standards. After the implementation, the employment rate of students increased by 15% within six months, the degree of interconnection increased by 20%, and the degree of enterprise recognition increased by 25%. The research effectively promotes the docking of higher vocational education with the market, and has far-reaching significance for easing slow employment.

The benefit of this research is to provide information and guidance for farm supervisors and managers regarding target fleshing. Measuring the fleshing score is done by directly measuring the thickness of the chicken breast muscles. The number of samples taken is 5% of the total population ( COBB 2022 ). The data processed by excel 2021 and descriptive analised in order to same with the filed. Fleshing score aims to maintain and monitor body weight so that it is maintained, not to be overweight or otherwise the chickens become too thin. Good fleshing will produce enough fat reserves. This fat reserve is useful for preparation before production. The next hope is that with sufficient fat reserves during production, peak production will be high and production performance will be more persistent. Hens in coops that achieve an ideal fleshing score (less fleshing score 2) in the growing period tend to show better performance during the laying period, lower depletion of laying, higher peak production, higher cumulative PE, and higher cumulative HE. Keywords: flashing score, parent stock, production performance

“L’Esprit de Charité”: Imaginative Action and Universal Benevolence in Wollstonecraft’s Of the Importance of Religious Opinions

ABSTRACT This article analyses Mary Wollstonecraft’s Of The Importance of Religious Opinions (1788), a translation of De l’Importance des Opinions Religieuses (1788) by Jacques Necker. I demonstrate that Necker’s text resonates with Wollstonecraft’s early works and those of her mentor, Dissenting theologian Richard Price, both for its Providentialism and for its onus on caritas, or “l’esprit de charité”, a love of God expressed through love of our neighbours. For Wollstonecraft, Christian charity was coextensive with justice and could embrace the entire human family. I argue that Necker’s text initially appealed to her for its representation of religion cultivating this expansive benevolence through sentiment refined by the imagination, depicted as a sacred faculty channelling our errant desires towards the divine. Whereas Necker envisages only celestial rewards in an incurably unjust society, however, Wollstonecraft subtly revises his text to foreground the imagination as the impetus to moral actions that participate in God’s plan for human improvement. She thus imagines political justice in the form of a cosmopolitan ideal of universal benevolence, a heartfelt principle of action equally consonant with Christian charity and the demands of justice.

Genetic trends in the Kenya Highland Maize Breeding Program between 1999 and 2020.

Optimization of a breeding program requires assessing and quantifying empirical genetic trends made through past efforts relative to the current breeding strategies, germplasm, technologies, and policy. To establish the genetic trends in the Kenyan Highland Maize Breeding Program (KHMP), a two-decade (1999-2020) historical dataset from the Preliminary Variety Trials (PVT) and Advanced Variety Trials (AVT) was analyzed. A mixed model analysis was used to compute the genetic gains for traits based on the best linear unbiased estimates in the PVT and AVT evaluation stages. A positive significant genetic gain estimate for grain yield of 88 kg ha-1 year-1 (1.94% year-1) and 26 kg ha-1 year-1 (0.42% year-1) was recorded for PVT and AVT, respectively. Root lodging, an important agronomic trait in the Kenya highlands, had a desired genetic gain of -2.65% year-1 for AVT. Results showed improvement in resistance to Turcicum Leaf Blight (TLB) with -1.19% and -0.27% year-1 for the PVT and AVT, respectively. Similarly, a significant genetic trend of -0.81% was noted for resistance to Gray Leaf Spot (GLS) in AVT. These findings highlight the good progress made by KHMP in developing adapted maize hybrids for Kenya's highland agroecology. Nevertheless, the study identified significant opportunities for the KHMP to make even greater genetic gains for key traits with introgression of favorable alleles for various traits, implementing a continuous improvement plan including marker-assisted forward breeding, sparse testing, and genomic selection, and doubled haploid technology for line development.

Evaluating the Usability of mHealth Apps: An Evaluation Model Based on Task Analysis Methods and Eye Movement Data.

Advancements in information technology have facilitated the emergence of mHealth apps as crucial tools for health management and chronic disease prevention. This research work focuses on mHealth apps for the management of diabetes by patients on their own. Given that China has the highest number of diabetes patients in the world, with 141 million people and a prevalence rate of 12.8% (mentioned in the Global Overview of Diabetes), the development of a usability research methodology to assess and validate the user-friendliness of apps is necessary. This study describes a usability evaluation model that combines task analysis methods and eye movement data. A blood glucose recording application was designed to be evaluated. The evaluation was designed based on the model, and the feasibility of the model was demonstrated by comparing the usability of the blood glucose logging application before and after a prototype modification based on the improvement suggestions derived from the evaluation. Tests showed that an improvement plan based on error logs and post-task questionnaires for task analysis improves interaction usability by about 24%, in addition to an improvement plan based on eye movement data analysis for hotspot movement acceleration that improves information access usability by about 15%. The results demonstrate that this study presents a usability evaluation model for mHealth apps that enables the effective evaluation of the usability of mHealth apps.
