Body composition in relation to body image, dietary intake, and nutrition knowledge among ballerinas were assessed in this study. This cross-sectional study collected data from ballet schools in Jakarta and Bekasi using anthropometric measurements and interviews. Among participants aged 8‒39 years, more than 50% had normal range body composition, 65.4% had self-perceived negative body image, more than 71% had normal dietary intake; however, 67.3% had low nutrition knowledge score. Overweight ballerinas had significantly higher body fat, fat-free mass, fat-free mass index and muscle mass index, except for total-body-water (p<0.05). There is correlation between body composition and body image among ballerinas resided in Jakarta and Bekasi.

Vectors, Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices in Relation to Malaria Transmission in Bauchi State, Nigeria

ABSTRACT Background & objectives: Malaria remains a major public health concern in Nigeria and the vectors (Anopheles species) can only be controlled effectively by having good knowledge of its composition and potential for disease transmission. This work aimed at surveying the indoor malaria vectors, Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) in relation to the disease transmission in Toro LGA, Bauchi State, Nigeria. Methods: Mosquitoes were collected by Pyrethrum Spray Catch (PSC) between October and December 2019 and were morphologically identified using standard keys. Blood samples were also collected from individuals who slept in the rooms where PSC was conducted. Thick and thin blood smears were made for malaria parasite examination. Questionnaires were administered to 120 participants for the KAP studies. Results: Ninety-seven (97) Anopheles mosquitoes were collected and identified as Anopheles gambiae 76(78.35%), An. funestus 20(20.62%) and An. coustani 1(1.03%). The overall malaria prevalence was 15.8%. The KAP studies revealed that measures and treatment-seeking behaviours against malaria varied significantly (P<0.05) among the respondents. Sleeping under net 55(45.8%) and use of insecticides 24(20.0%) were some of the preventive measures highlighted while treatment-seeking behaviours included visit to pharmacy 74(61.7%) and use of local herbs 11(9.2%). Interpretation & conclusion: This work revealed that An. gambiae and An. funestus are predominant malaria vectors in the area. The KAP information demonstrated fair knowledge about the disease by the respondents. Therefore, public enlightenment about malaria prevention, control and treatment is recommended to address the few but highly negative impact knowledge gaps about malaria.

Psychological aspects of the teacher's activities within the framework of personal-oriented training in a technical university

The article is devoted to the issue related to the perception and knowledge of the student's personality by the teacher within the framework of a person-oriented learning model. The authors consider the structure of pedagogical activity including professional psychological and pedagogical knowledge, pedagogical skills, personal characteristics. Particular attention is paid to the psychological aspects of solving the problems of pedagogy associated with interpersonal interaction in the learning process. The authors present an overview of the psychological components of the teacher's personality, perceptual mechanisms: empathy, reflection, casual attribution. They are a condition for achieving high productivity in student education, which implies an adequate reflection by the teacher and student of each other and the establishment of mutual understanding and effective interaction on this basis. One of the fundamental factors in the productive implementation of personal-oriented training was the professional attitude of the teacher, which acquires psychological content and determines the tactical capabilities of his activities. The authors emphasized that the content and psychology of the teacher's activities is determined not only by social factors ― the place, functions, requirements of society, but also by socio-psychological factors ― by the expectations of others in relation to the teacher's personality and activities, his own expectations, attitudes and value constructs in the field of professional activity, which are the source of his activity. The article presents the results of a study of the professional attitudes of the teacher on the perception of students. The work was carried out on the basis of the Karaganda State Technical University named after Abylkas Saginov. The study involved 60 university teachers aged 30-60 years.

Követéses helynévismereti vizsgálatok Tépén

Real-time studies are needed to provide empirical evidence for changes in toponymic knowledge. These studies can be completed by examining the relative toponymic knowledge of generations of the same age at different times: this is called a trend study. In a panel study, the data collection is repeated with the same individuals who participated in the first study. A combination of a panel and a trend study is the most efficient, which is why the author repeated their 2013 survey of toponymic knowledge in Tépe in 2023. As a first step in the more recent survey, interviews were conducted with 7% of the population in four generational groups. Here the research aimed to discern how the generational groups’ toponymic knowledge evolved in relation to each other. In addition, a panel study with 11 respondents was also completed. This study focused on changes in individual toponymic knowledge. Out of 11 respondents, only 2 individuals showed an increase in toponymic knowledge, while the other respondents exhibited a decrease to a lesser or greater extent. One important finding of the present study is that the change in toponymic knowledge is not a one-directional process: not only did new names appear on the mental maps of younger and middle-aged respondents, some also disappeared.

Knowledge Graph Construction and Representation Method for Potato Diseases and Pests

Potato diseases and pests have a serious impact on the quality and yield of potatoes, and timely prevention and control of potato diseases and pests is essential. A rich knowledge reserve of potato diseases and pests is one of the most important prevention and control measures; however, valuable knowledge is buried in the massive data of potato diseases and pests, making it difficult for potato growers and managers to obtain and use it in a timely manner and to develop the potential of knowledge. Therefore, this paper explores the construction method of a knowledge graph for automatic knowledge extraction, which extracts the knowledge of potato diseases and pests scattered in heterogeneous data from multiple sources, organises it into a semantically related knowledge base, and provides potato growers with professional knowledge and timely guidance to effectively prevent and control potato diseases and pests. In this paper, a data corpus on potato diseases and pests, called PotatoRE, is first constructed. Then, a model of ALBert-BiLSTM-Self_Att-CRF is designed to extract knowledge from the corpus to form a triplet structure, which is imported into the Neo4j graph database for storage and visualisation. Furthermore, the performance of the model constructed in this paper is compared and verified using the datasets PotatoRE and People’s Daily. The results show that compared to the SOTA models of ALBert BiLSTM-CRF and ALBert BiGRU-CRF, the accuracy of our model has been improved by 2.92% and 3.12%, respectively, using PotatoRE. Compared to the Bert BiLSTM-CRF model on two datasets, our model not only improves the accuracy, recall, and F1 values, but also has a higher efficiency. The model in this paper solves the problem of the difficult recognition of nested entities. On this basis, through comparative experiments, the TransH model is used to effectively represent the constructed knowledge graph, which lays the foundation for achieving inference, extension, and automatic updating of the knowledge base. The achievements of the thesis have made certain contributions to the automatic construction of large-scale knowledge bases.

Knowledge, attitudes and practices of Moroccan cancer patients and their relatives towards the COVID-19 pandemic.

This study aims to describe the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of cancer patients and their relatives regarding the COVID-19 pandemic in Morocco. A self-administered online questionnaire was administrated to 133 adults aged 19 to 70 years old, including 32 cancer patients and 101 people from the relatives of cancer patients. The participants showed a very good level of knowledge (cancer patients (84.6%), relatives (82.7%)) and practice (cancer patients (96.0%), relatives (85%)) regarding covid-19. . A very large proportion of cancer patients (84.4%) were very worried about the virus, compared with only 52.5% of relatives. They were concerned about the potential risk of infection and felt personally exposed (93.8%) to serious complications from COVID-19. The knowledge, attitudes and practices score were significantly associated with age (p=0,018), sex (p=0.002), professional activity (p=0,036), medical insurance (p=0,009), place of residence (p= 0,017), presence or absence of cancer (p=0,000), and perception of the danger of catching COVID-19 (p=0,041). Although the level of knowledge and practices of cancer patients and relatives was very satisfying, disparities between the two groups were still to be noted. Cancer patients go out less and practice more, despite the impact of confinement on their health.

Association of dietary intake and nutrition knowledge with diabetes self-management behavior among Bangladeshi type 2 diabetes mellitus adults: A multi-center cross-sectional study

Diabetes self-management behavior is important for patients to lessen disease-related complications, obtain optimum glycemic control and achieve a better quality of life. The study aimed to determine the relationship between dietary intake, nutrition knowledge, and self-management behaviors in Bangladeshi patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with a focus on achieving optimal glycemic control, improving their quality of life. A cross-sectional study was conducted among T2DM patients from seven districts throughout Bangladesh. Data were collected using a validated semi-structured questionnaire for evaluating diabetes-related self-management behavior and existing nutrition knowledge. Dietary intakes were obtained using 24 h 3-days diet recall. Logistic regression analysis, Pearson's correlation and independent t-test were used to observe correlation and association among variables. A total of 411 patients with T2DM participated in the study, 59.4 % of patients achieved good dietary control, while 14.4 % were physically active, 49.4 % adhered well to medication, 44.0 % practiced effective self-monitoring, and 27.0 % possessed good diabetic nutrition knowledge. In fully adjusted multivariate logistic regression analysis, patients with a better glycemic control showed 14 times more control in their dietary intake [AOR: 14.21; 95 % CI: 5.62–35.94], and performing a good physical exercise 5 times more than the patients with high blood glucose level [AOR: 5.671; 95 % CI: 1.55–20.686]. Adherence toward medication prescription was also significantly higher among these patients. Glucose level was significantly higher among patients who had moderate [AOR: 3.367; 95 % CI: 1.29–8.73] and poor [AOR: 9.87; 95 % CI: 3.19–30.57] diabetes related nutritional knowledge. Patients with poor glycemic control consumed significantly more carbohydrates (251 ± 62 g vs 213 ± 47 g) and less dietary fiber (16.7 ± 4.5 g vs 20.5 ± 6.1 g) compared to the patients with optimum glycemic control. Our study findings suggest that, an improved level of nutrition knowledge may be beneficial to ensure optimum dietary intake, thus aid in an effective diabetes self-management behavior among Bangladeshi T2DM patients. Efforts should be made to help patient achieve optimum glycemic control, thus reduce their health-related complications and contribute to overall well-being.

Modeling and application of a customized knowledge graph for railway alignment optimization

Railway alignment optimization is a complex process in which human knowledge and experience are extensively used. However, the related knowledge is usually unstructured, which is difficult for computers to recognize. Moreover, related knowledge is applied in fragmented ways in existing alignment optimization methods, which are thus difficult to update with actual advancements of human experience and knowledge. To solve the above problems, the first-known knowledge graph modeling method for railway alignment optimization is proposed in this paper. First, a hierarchical and categorized semantic network modeling approach for railway alignment design knowledge is devised. Based on this, a railway alignment design knowledge graph (RAD-KG) is constructed. Then, a rapid knowledge retrieval method is proposed for improving the querying efficiency from the RAD-KG during alignment optimization. Finally, the RAD-KG integrating multiple alignment design principles is successfully applied to a real-world case. It is verified that the alignment generated by the proposed method reduces costs by 9.2% compared with conventional manual work by experienced engineers. Moreover, the RAD-KG-assisted method can rapidly update alignment design guidelines during optimization and, hence, produce several alignment alternatives satisfying various complicated requirements, which confirms the flexibility of the proposed method.

Dynamic semantic structure distillation for low-resolution fine-grained recognition

Low-resolution images are ubiquitous in real applications such as surveillance and mobile photography. However, existing fine-grained approaches usually suffer catastrophic failures when dealing with low-resolution inputs. This is because their learning strategy inherently depends on the semantic structure of the pre-trained model, resulting in poor robustness and generalization. To mitigate this limitation, we propose a dynamic semantic structure distillation learning framework. Our method first facilitates knowledge distillation of diverse semantic structures by perturbing the composition of semantic components and then utilizes a decoupled distillation objective to prevent the loss of primary semantic part relation knowledge. We evaluate our proposed approach on two knowledge distillation tasks: high-to-low resolution and large-to-small model. The experimental results show that our proposed approach significantly outperforms existing methods in low-resolution fine-grained image classification tasks. This indicates that it can effectively distill knowledge from high-resolution teacher models to low-resolution student models. Furthermore, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in general image classification and standard knowledge distillation tasks.

A DEPRESCRIBING CURRICULAR FRAMEWORK USING AN INTER-PROFESSIONAL APPROACH: IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING EDUCATION

Abstract Background Deprescribing is an important component of managing polypharmacy and reducing harm from potentially inappropriate medications. Current undergraduate nursing education does not consistently incorporate components of deprescribing into curricula. It is essential to bridge the gap in promoting deprescribing competencies, teach related knowledge and skills and assess learning outcomes. The purpose of this presentation is to engage nursing educators who teach geriatrics to identify and implement a curriculum framework for deprescribing. Methodology The Canadian Medication Appropriateness and Deprescribing Network (CaDeN) Healthcare Professional Committee undertook a consensus approach to developing competencies for deprescribing, along with literature review and analysis of prescribing competencies. The authors outlined the required knowledge and skills related to the competencies, with recommended teaching and assessment strategies. Results The seven deprescribing competencies include: gathering and interpreting patients’ medication history and clinical information within their context, using tools that help identify potentially inappropriate medications, weighing potential benefit and harm of continuing or deprescribing medications, using shared decision-making about deprescribing, communicating deprescribing and monitoring plans, and monitoring progress and outcomes. Integrating deprescribing competencies in nursing curricula requires an intentional and structured approach across all years of the program, focusing on interprofessional collaboration. Learning activities should be active and practical, progressing from early to advanced learner skills and include integration of deprescribing through experiential education. Conclusion This presentation provides implications for the nursing profession to apply deprescribing competencies at different learner levels, using appropriate learning and assessment outcomes, and strategies in which deprescribing competencies could be achieved in an interprofessional setting.

Ordinal motifs in lattices

Lattices are a commonly used structure for the representation and analysis of relational and ontological knowledge. In particular, the analysis of these requires a decomposition of a large and high-dimensional lattice into a set of understandably large parts. With the present work we propose /ordinal motifs/ as analytical units of meaning. We study these ordinal substructures (or standard scales) through order-embeddings and (full) scale-measures of formal contexts from the field of formal concept analysis. We show that the underlying decision problems are NP-complete and provide results on how one can incrementally identify ordinal motifs to save computational effort. Accompanying our theoretical results, we demonstrate how ordinal motifs can be leveraged to achieve textual explanations based on principles from human computer interaction.

Mushroom poisoning outbreaks in Guizhou Province, China: a prediction study using SARIMA and Prophet models

Mushroom poisoning is a public health concern worldwide that not only harms the physical and mental health of those who are poisoned but also increases the medical and financial burden on families and society. The present study aimed to describe and analyze the current situations and factors influencing mushroom poisoning outbreaks in Guizhou province, Southwest China, between January 2012 and June 2022, and to predict the future trends of its occurrence. Our study provides a basis for the rational formulation of prevention and control and medical resource allocation policies for mushroom poisoning. The epidemiological characteristics and factors influencing mushroom poisoning incidence were analyzed using descriptive epidemiological methods and the chi-squared test, respectively. Then, future occurrence trends were predicted using the SARIMA and Prophet models. In total, 1577 mushroom poisoning incidents were recorded in Guizhou Province, with 7347 exposures, 5497 cases, 3654 hospitalizations, and 93 fatalities. The mortality rate was 4.45% in 1 ~ 6 years higher than other age groups. There were notable geographic and seasonal characteristics, with the number of occurrences much higher in rural areas (1198) than in cities (379), and poisoning cases were more common during the rainy season (June to September). The mortality rate of household poisoning cases was 1.86%, with the most deaths occurring in households. Statistically significant differences were observed in the incidence across various cities, periods, and poisoning locations (P < 0.05). Both models had advantages and disadvantages for prediction. Nevertheless, the SARIMA model had better overall prediction results than the Prophet model (R > 0.9, the residual plot of the prediction results was randomly distributed, and RMSESARIMA < RMSEProphet). However, the prediction result plot of the Prophet model was more explanatory than the SARIMA model and could visualize overall and seasonal trends. Both models predicted that the prevalence of mushroom poisoning would continue to increase in the future; however, the number of fatalities is generally declining. Seasonal patterns indicated that a high number of deaths from gooseberry mushroom poisoning occurred in October. The epidemiological trends of mushroom poisoning remain severe, and health education on related knowledge must be strengthened in rural areas, with June to October as the key prevention and control phase. Further, medical treatment of mushroom poisoning cases with clinical symptoms should pay attention to inquiries to check whether the mushroom is similar in appearance to the Amanita, particularly in October.

Sustainable soil and land management: a systems-oriented overview of scientific literature

Healthy soil is vital for our wellbeing and wealth. However, increasing demand for food and biomass may lead to unsustainable soil and land management practices that threaten soils. Other degradation processes such as soil sealing also endanger soil resources. Identifying and accessing the best available knowledge is crucial to address related sustainability issues and promote the needed transition towards sustainable soil and land management practices. Such knowledge has to cover all knowledge domains, system knowledge, target knowledge, and transformation knowledge. However, a comprehensive overview of existing research addressing societal needs related to soil is still missing, which hinders the identification of knowledge gaps. This study provides a detailed analysis of scientific literature to identify ongoing research activities and trends. A quantitative and qualitative analysis of scientific literature related to sustainable soil and land management was conducted. A systems-oriented analytical framework was used that combines soil and land related societal challenges with related knowledge domains. Our analysis revealed a significant increase in scientific publications and related interest in soil and land use-related research, above the average increase of publications within all scientific fields. Different forms of reduction and remediation of soil degradation processes (e.g. erosion, contamination) have been studied most extensively. Other topic areas like land take mitigation, soil biodiversity increase, increase of ecosystem services provision and climate change mitigation and adaption seem to be rather recent concerns, less investigated. We could highlight the importance of context-specific research, as different regions require different practices. For instance, boreal, tropical, karst and peatland regions were less studied. Furthermore, we found that diversifying soil management practices such as agroforestry or including livestock into arable systems are valuable options for increasing biomass, mitigating/adapting to climate change, and improving soil related ecosystem services. A recent trend towards the latter research topic indicates the transition from a soil conservation-oriented perspective to a soil service-oriented perspective, which may be better suited to integrate the social and economic dimensions of soil health improvement alongside the ecological dimension.

Detection of mechanically transmitted bacteria by &lt;em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Musca domestica&lt;/em&gt; (Diptera: Muscidae) in Malabe Medical Officer of Health (MOH) Division, Sri Lanka

House flies (Musca domestica) have been identified as a mechanical vector, transmitting a range of infectious diseases, including cholera, shigellosis, salmonellosis, and skin infections. They live closely with human and domestic animals and are frequently found in areas of human activities. The present study was conducted to identify the pathogenic microbes potentially transmitted by houseflies since the related knowledge is not available in Sri Lankan settings. Houseflies were collected from the Malabe Medical Officer of Health (MOH) area from September - December 2022 using a prepared bait trap. Collected houseflies were identified up to the species level using standard identification keys. They were sacrificed using a cold shock and were washed in microcentrifuge tubes to collect the bacteria on their outer surface, in 250 µL sterile PBS. A dilution series (100- 10-7) was made from the original wash, and 200 µL from each dilution was plated on Plate Count Agar and pure cultures for each microbe were obtained. The isolated microbes were identified by performing Gram’s staining and biochemical tests. Acinetobacter spp., Enterococcus spp., Serratia spp., Klebsiella spp., Staphylococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp. and Escherichia spp. were identified and presumed as mechanically transmitted bacteria from houseflies. The most abundant bacterium was Staphylococcus sp. 2 (36.303%), followed by Escherichia sp. (21.452%) and Pseudomonas sp. (17.162%), while other bacteria were present in fewer proportions. The identified genera of the bacteria include some potential pathogenic bacterial species, which could cause mild to severe illnesses. Hence, the findings of the present study emphasized the importance of control measures for houseflies and community awareness programs to reduce the transmission of pathogenic bacteria.

Gravitational Force in the Context of African Indigenous Knowledge: Metaphor of Ifá Epistle and Lifecycle Theory

Ifa can be regarded as a compendium of Yoruba culture wherein the entire system of living is encapsulated. One of the major scopes of Ifa is science. And to the Westerners, Africans are devoid of scientific knowledge. Therefore, this study aims to examine Isaac Newton's law of gravitational force, which states that there is a natural force that pushes down whatever is above the surface to the ground around Indigenous Yoruba belief. It is established in Yoruba that: laala to roke, ilelo m bo. . That is, anything that goes up must come down to the ground. This is navigated along Ifa EjiOgbe corpus: Gbogbo wa lagba o kan- Ageing shall tell on all of us, performed by an Ifá priest and scholar, Yemi Elebuubon. Ecological-evolutionary theory, basically on the relation of society to their environment and parts of the society with one another, is adopted. Relevant Ifa corpus, Yoruba sayings, and aphorisms are sources of data. Some elements of the concept of gravitational force are compared around the indigenous Yoruba concept of gravitational force in relation to lifecycle. It is found that there is a relationship between the notion of gravitational force around the cycle. Lifecycle is the process of stages of life for an organism, which usually begins with birth and ends in death. It was found that there is an equivalence of indigenous scientific knowledge and gravitational force in relation to the human lifecycle. The study concludes that indigenous Yoruba science of gravitational force is related to the human lifecycle in their system of living long before the advent of modern science.

Evidence-Based Education on Care of LGBTQ Patients: Improving Knowledge and Attitudes Among Pediatric Nurses.

Due to stigma and mistreatment, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) patients and their families often face barriers to accessing and receiving equitable health care. Pediatric settings are not immune to this health inequity, yet there is limited literature to address it with pediatric nurses. An evidence-based education program on the care of LGBTQ patients was delivered electronically to pediatric nurses. Using a pre- and posttest design, knowledge and attitudes regarding care of LGBTQ patients were collected via online questionnaires. Knowledge significantly increased from pre- to posttest (p = .02). Attitudes related to LGBTQ concepts either remained consistently positive or shifted in the positive direction. Providing education regarding LGBTQ patients to pediatric nurses can improve related knowledge and attitudes. Expansion of evidence-based LGBTQ education to pediatric nurses is likely to contribute to lessening the health care barriers and inequities faced by these patients and their families.
