Development of Inspired Therapeutics Pediatric VAD: Benchtop Evaluation of Impeller Performance and Torques for MagLev Motor Design.

Despite the availability of first-generation extracorporeal mechanical circulatory support (MCS) systems that are widely used throughout the world, there is a need for the next generation of smaller, more portable devices (designed without cables and a minimal number of connectors) that can be used in all in-hospital and transport settings to support patients in heart failure. Moreover, a system that can be universally used for all indications for use including cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), uni- or biventricular support (VAD), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and respiratory assist that is suitable for use for adult, neonate, and pediatric patients is desirable. Providing a single, well designed, universal technology could reduce the incidence of human errors by limiting the need for training of hospital staff on a single system for a variety of indications throughout the hospital rather than having to train on multiple complex systems. The objective of this manuscript is to describe preliminary research to develop the first prototype pump for use as a ventricular assist device for pediatric patients with the Inspired Universal MCS technology. The Inspired VAD Universal System is an innovative extracorporeal blood pumping system utilizing novel MagLev technology in a single portable integrated motor/controller unit which can power a variety of different disposable pump modules intended for neonate, pediatric, and adult ventricular and respiratory assistance. A prototype of the Inspired Pediatric VAD was constructed to determine the hemodynamic requirements for pediatric applications. The magnitude/range of hydraulic torque of the internal impeller was quantified. The hydrodynamic performance of the prototype pump was benchmarked using a static mock flow loop model containing a heated blood analogue solution to test the pump over a range of rotational speeds (500-6000 RPM), flow rates (0-3.5L/min), and pressures (0 to ~420 mmHg). The device was initially powered by a shaft-driven DC motor in lieu of a full MagLev design, which was also used to calculate the fluid torque acting on the impeller. The pediatric VAD produced flows as high as 4.27L/min against a pressure of 127 mmHg at 6000 RPM and the generated pressure and flow values fell within the desired design specifications. The empirically determined performance and torque values establish the requirements for the magnetically levitated motor design to be used in the Inspired Universal MagLev System. This next step in our research and development is to fabricate a fully integrated and functional magnetically levitated pump, motor and controller system that meets the product requirement specifications and achieves a state of readiness for acute ovine animal studies to verify safety and performance of the system.

Linked-Object Dynamic Offloading (LODO) for the Cooperation of Data and Tasks on Edge Computing Environment

With the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing technology is using to process data rapidly increasing from various IoT devices efficiently. Edge computing offloading reduces data processing time and bandwidth usage by processing data in real-time on the device where the data is generating or on a nearby server. Previous studies have proposed offloading between IoT devices through local-edge collaboration from resource-constrained edge servers. However, they did not consider nearby edge servers in the same layer with computing resources. Consequently, quality of service (QoS) degrade due to restricted resources of edge computing and higher execution latency due to congestion. To handle offloaded tasks in a rapidly changing dynamic environment, finding an optimal target server is still challenging. Therefore, a new cooperative offloading method to control edge computing resources is needed to allocate limited resources between distributed edges efficiently. This paper suggests the LODO (linked-object dynamic offloading) algorithm that provides an ideal balance between edges by considering the ready state or running state. LODO algorithm carries out tasks in the list in the order of high correlation between data and tasks through linked objects. Furthermore, dynamic offloading considers the running status of all cooperative terminals and decides to schedule task distribution. That can decrease the average delayed time and average power consumption of terminals. In addition, the resource shortage problem can settle by reducing task processing using its distributions.

PurposeIndustrial Revolution 4.0 is still evolving. The purpose of this paper is to assess the progress of Indonesia in achieving an initiative for Industry 4.0. As the largest country in Southeast Asia, Indonesia plays a critical role in implementing Industry 4.0. In addition, this study proposes an open innovation strategies for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in facing Industry 4.0, especially in the Indonesian setting. Open innovation is viewed as a long-term innovation model that relies on cross-border commerce between businesses and countries.Design/methodology/approachThis study undertakes a comprehensive literature review to capture the necessary insights for establishing an early grasp of solution design. A total of 32 sample papers were qualified using a set of selection criteria designed to find the most relevant existing studies in the Industry 4.0 and Indonesia domains. The meta-details as significant discoveries were processed using a content analysis approach. In addition, the research deployed sentiment analysis from text mining to inter-operate and classify (positive, negative and neutral) in-text data using text analysis techniques to identify public sentiment toward Industry 4.0 in Indonesia.FindingsThe key finding is that there is a favorable relationship between digital ecosystem readiness and open innovation adoption for SMEs. While, knowledge management is a critical factor in guiding a country’s successful implementation of the open innovation paradigm. Furthermore, some of the major findings revealed that many initiatives for Industry 4.0 are carried out by the private sectors. In regards to the procedure, the role of government is the protection of market regulations. This could be due to preserving fair competition between corporations and SMEs. Local businesses and SMEs should be protected to ensure their survival. In addition, the major cause of the slow adoption of Industry 4.0 in Indonesia is the lack of digital equipment. This is because of the shortage of digital equipment that can create a digital divide between large and small businesses and between industries in the urban and rural areas.Research limitations/implicationsThis study discussed some of the most essential issues of SMEs in adopting open innovation that is required for Industrial Revolution 4.0. It focuses on how digital ecosystem’s readiness influences open innovation adoption for SMEs in Indonesia.

Current Problems of Teachers' Readiness of Higher Educational Institutions for Implementing Inclusive Education

The development of world education is implemented in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability and other regulations that determine the right of people with disability to receive quality education at all levels, including in the field of vocational training. Studying the experience of Ukraine will provide an opportunity to take into account the trends of inclusion in higher education in order to increase its effectiveness. The purpose of the article is to study the state of teachers' readiness of higher educational institutions (HEI) for implementing inclusive education. Methods of research: analysis of literary sources on the problems of inclusive education; questioning teachers of HEI; quantitative and qualitative analysis of the results of the research. The results of the study showed the insufficient readiness of teachers of HEI for implementing inclusive education as evidenced by the lack of understanding of the essence of inclusive education, special educational needs of children and the specifics of their education in inclusive institutions; prejudice against persons with SEN and inclusion processes; low self-esteem of inclusive competence and desire to increase it. According to the results of the questionnaire, the ways of development of inclusion in the HEI were outlined. The perspective task of the research is the development and testing of the content and methods of formation readiness of scientific and pedagogical workers for inclusive education.

Spontaneous Multimodal Neural Transmission Suggests That Adult Spinal Networks Maintain an Intrinsic State of Readiness to Execute Sensorimotor Behaviors

Spontaneous action potential discharge (spAP) is both ubiquitous and functionally relevant during neural development. spAP remains a prominent feature of supraspinal networks in maturity, even during unconsciousness. Evidence suggests that spAP persists in mature spinal networks during wakefulness, and one function of spAP in this context could be maintenance of a "ready state" to execute behaviors. The extent to which spAP persists in mature spinal networks during unconsciousness remains unclear, and its function(s), if any, are likewise unresolved. Here, we attempt to reconcile some of the questions and contradictions that emerge from the disintegrated picture of adult spinal spAP currently available. We recorded simultaneously from large populations of spinal interneurons in vivo in male rats, characterizing the spatial distribution of spAP in the lumbar enlargement and identifying subgroups of spontaneously active neurons. We find (1) concurrent spAP throughout the dorsoventral extent of the gray matter, with a diverse yet strikingly consistent mixture of neuron types across laminae; (2) the proportion of neurons exhibiting spAP in deeper, sensorimotor integrative regions is comparable to that in more superficial, sensory-dominant regions; (3) firing rate, but not spike train variability, varies systematically with region; and (4) spAP includes multimodal neural transmission consistent with executing a spinally-mediated behavior. These findings suggest that adult spAP may continue to support a state of readiness to execute sensorimotor behaviors even during unconsciousness. Such functionality has implications for our understanding of how perception is translated into action, of experience-dependent modification of behavior, and (mal)adaptative responses to injury or disease.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Neurons often discharge action potentials (APs) seemingly spontaneously, that is, in the absence of ongoing behaviors or overt stimuli. This phenomenon is particularly evident during neural development, where spontaneous AP discharge (spAP) is ubiquitous in the central nervous system and is crucial to establishing connectivity among functionally related groups of neurons. The function(s) of spAP in adult spinal networks, if any, have remained enigmatic, especially during unconsciousness. Here, we report evidence that one such function could be to support an intrinsic state of readiness to execute sensorimotor behaviors. This finding has implications for our understanding of how perception is translated into action, of experience-dependent modification of behavior, and (mal)adaptative responses to injury or disease.

Metabolomic Evaluation of Tissue-Specific Defense Responses in Tomato Plants Modulated by PGPR-Priming against Phytophthora capsici Infection.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can stimulate disease suppression through the induction of an enhanced state of defense readiness. Here, untargeted ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS) and targeted ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC–QqQ-MS) were used to investigate metabolic reprogramming in tomato plant tissues in response to priming by Pseudomonas fluorescens N04 and Paenibacillus alvei T22 against Phytophthora capsici. Roots were treated with the two PGPR strains prior to stem inoculation with Ph. capsici. Metabolites were methanol-extracted from roots, stems and leaves at two–eight days post-inoculation. Targeted analysis by UHPLC–QqQ-MS allowed quantification of aromatic amino acids and phytohormones. For untargeted analysis, UHPLC–MS data were chemometrically processed to determine signatory biomarkers related to priming against Ph. capsici. The aromatic amino acid content was differentially reprogrammed in Ps. fluorescens and Pa. alvei primed plants responding to Ph. capsici. Furthermore, abscisic acid and methyl salicylic acid were found to be major signaling molecules in the tripartite interaction. LC–MS metabolomics analysis showed time-dependent metabolic changes in the primed-unchallenged vs. primed-challenged tissues. The annotated metabolites included phenylpropanoids, benzoic acids, glycoalkaloids, flavonoids, amino acids, organic acids, as well as oxygenated fatty acids. Tissue-specific reprogramming across diverse metabolic networks in roots, stems and leaves was also observed, which demonstrated that PGPR priming resulted in modulation of the defense response to Ph. capsici infection.

Psychological Aspects of Using Video for Forming Teenagers’ Translational Competence

The aim of the article is to show the types of video material which help to develop the translational competence of teens; to determine the structural components of willingness of pupils to provide translational activity. Methods of the research. As for general scientific methods, such of them as the method of induction, deduction, analysis and synthesis, comparative and descriptive methods and explanatory ones. The results of the research. In this article we consider the development of the translational competence of schoolchildren from the standpoint of the cultural approach. So, it is a process of forming the personal position of the individual, taking into account the diversity of subjective and objective factors, which involve the implementation of strategies for managing the personal resources which are necessary for making the translation on the professional level. It was noted that the development of the translational competence of schoolchildren also involved the formation of personally significant position, which was understood by us as a system of dominant values-semantic attitudes of pupil to the socio-cultural environment, of himself/herself and his/her activities. Therefore, the conceptual model of the development of the translational competence of schoolchildren, in our opinion, will necessarily include readiness of schoolchildren to perform the translational activity. The formation of readiness for foreign language communication and translation becomes a necessary prerequisite for the training of pupils who speak a foreign language and are able to get in touch with representatives of another culture. The readiness for foreign language communication and translation is considered by us as the integral personal new formation that involves a high level of knowledge of a foreign language, linguistics in general, as well as the pupils’ possession of gaining the necessary communication skills. We also attribute the state of readiness mainly to intellectual and volitional states, as its leading characteristics are the desire successfully to solve problems of self-development, self-improvement, creativity and confidence in the development of their abilities to translate, which can be considered as a necessary condition for volitional decision-making, management of their behavior and providing actions in order to achieve the goal of their activity. We consider the state of readiness of a pupil for self-development and self-realization as a desire of the individual to overcome internal contradictions, states of anxiety and cognitive dissonance, creative implementation of plans and programs of self-realization. The readiness of a pupil for self-development is determined by general and special knowledge, skills, mental processes, states and personality traits, and ultimately by the responsibility for the results of self-improvement and personal growth. Conclusions. It was stated that that conceptual model would necessarily include readiness of pupils for performing the translational activity. Willingness is characterized by the different nature of the interconnections of its structural components (a cognitive component – knowledge of a foreign language, a linguistic one – linguistic competence, the component of implementation – communication skills). Considering the readiness of a pupil as a component of person’s intercultural communication and as a set of individually significant psychological factors of a schoolchild, we (taking into account the diagnostic goals) have identified the characteristics of different levels of the development of each of the factors of readiness, which we mean as a criterion basis for studying the phenomenon of pupils’ readiness for organizing the process of successful intercultural communication. The first (a cognitive) component is considered in the context of this research as varying levels of foreign language acquisition. In fact, in our opinion, a cognitive component of readiness contains the linguistic competence of the person, as well as his/her communicative skills and the peculiarities of using them in the process of translation activity.

Urica-VV Scale: A New Research Perspective of The Stage of Readiness for Treatment in Patients with Dysphonia

ObjectiveTo obtain evidence of validity for the URICA-V scale and estimate the psychometric properties of its items based on item response theory (IRT). MethodA total of 658 individuals of both sexes over 18 years of age were allocated into two groups: with dysphonia group (WDG) and vocally healthy group (VHG). A digital database was constructed with personal and professional data and item-by-item responses on the URICA-V scale. Subsequently, Cronbach's alpha, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), application of IRT using Samejima's model and ROC curve analysis were used to obtain the cutoff point for the URICA-V scale. ResultsA different version of the original URICA-V scale was obtained. Of the 32 items from the original protocol, 25 better explained the instrument and were regrouped into two domains: contemplation and maintenance. It was possible to identify which items generated higher difficulty (b) and discrimination (a) values and which contributed to the presentation of a calculation based on the theta of each participant. The ROC curve was analyzed, and a cutoff point of -0.236 was established; establishing a cutoff point facilitates the decision of which individuals are in a state of readiness for voice treatment. ConclusionThe present study provided evidence that allows us to propose the URICA-Voice validated (URICA-VV) scale within a more contemporary perspective and with a reduced number of items and domains. In addition, a cutoff point was obtained based on IRT to measure, with greater accuracy, sensitivity and specificity, the stage of readiness and to differentiate individuals who have an indication for speech therapy.

Conformational Change of H64 and Substrate Transportation: Insight Into a Full Picture of Enzymatic Hydration of CO2 by Carbonic Anhydrase.

The enzymatic hydration of CO2 into HCO3 − by carbonic anhydrase (CA) is highly efficient and environment-friendly measure for CO2 sequestration. Here extensive MM MD and QM/MM MD simulations were used to explore the whole enzymatic process, and a full picture of the enzymatic hydration of CO2 by CA was achieved. Prior to CO2 hydration, the proton transfer from the water molecule (WT1) to H64 is the rate-limiting step with the free energy barrier of 10.4 kcal/mol, which leads to the ready state with the Zn-bound OH−. The nucleophilic attack of OH− on CO2 produces HCO3 − with the free energy barrier of 4.4 kcal/mol and the free energy release of about 8.0 kcal/mol. Q92 as the key residue manipulates both CO2 transportation to the active site and release of HCO3 −. The unprotonated H64 in CA prefers in an inward orientation, while the outward conformation is favorable energetically for its protonated counterpart. The conformational transition of H64 between inward and outward correlates with its protonation state, which is mediated by the proton transfer and the product release. The whole enzymatic cycle has the free energy span of 10.4 kcal/mol for the initial proton transfer step and the free energy change of −6.5 kcal/mol. The mechanistic details provide a comprehensive understanding of the entire reversible conversion of CO2 into bicarbonate and roles of key residues in chemical and nonchemical steps for the enzymatic hydration of CO2.

The Structural Relationship among Desperateness, Mental Strength and Perceived Performance of High School TAEKWONDO Players

Purpose: Players desperateness is a mental state of readiness for training and competition, which is under-stood to be a variable that influences players performance as a factor that promotes motivation for why they should participate and win. On the other hand, mental strength is psychological strength that directly affects the performance of players, so the relationship between these two variables is clearly classified into a sequential relationship, and finally, the perceived performance of players will be affected by the relationship between these two variables. In addition, it is possible to predict enough that mental strength will play a mediating role in the relationship between desperateness and perceived performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to un-derstand the influence of high school Taekwondo players perceived desperateness through structural relation-ships with their desperateness, mental strength, and perceived performance, and to help them improve their performance. Method: A total of 281 high school Taekwondo players were selected as participants by convenience sampling technique, and they were asked with desperateness questionnaire, mental strength questionnaire, and perceived performance questionnaire. The data analysis of this study was executed by using PASW 23.0 and AMOS 23.0 for the frequency analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis and the research model was test through structure equation modeling analysis and the bootstrapping method was used to find out the mediating effect. Results: The desperateness had a positive relationship with mental strength. This is a result of predicting that the higher the level of desperateness, the higher the level of mental strength can be. Desperateness was also found to have a positive causal relationship with perceived performance meaning that the higher the level of desperation, the higher the level of performance perceived by athletes, and it is understood that the desperation of high school taekwondo players can help improve perceived performance. Mental strength had a positive causal relationship with perceived performance. It means the higher the level of mental strength, the higher the level of performance perceived by athletes, and it is understood that the mental strength of high school taekwondo players can help improve the perceived performance. Mental strength had a mediating effect in the relationship between desperateness and perceived performance. Conclusion: The desperateness of athletes is a leading variable that positively influences the improvement of athletes performance. Desperate is a state of mind preparedness for how high school Taekwondo players par-ticipate in sports and games, and it is understood that this mindset is expressed as a strong will for the purpose and direction of action, and it is judged to have a positive impact on the win or lose of the game. Since this study found mental strength had a positive causal relationship with perceived performance mental strength needs to be regarded as a major concern of leaders and coaches as a major factor in determining the win or loss of a game, and should be making continuous efforts to improve the mental strength of athletes.

Cross Cultural Variations in Attitude of Adolescents

An attitude is a mental and neural state of readiness, organized through experience, exerting a directive or dynamic influence upon the individual’s response to all objects and situations with which it is related” (Allport, 1935). A decade later Kretch & Crutchfield, 1948 defined Attitude as “Attitude is an enduring organisation of motivational, emotional, perceptual and cognitive process with respect to some aspect of the individual’s world”. The Attitude of a person is determined by psychological factors like ideas, values, beliefs, perception etc. Adolescence is the shifting period from childhood to adulthood, marked with physical and mental changes. Though Adolescent is the stage of life, cultural differences can often lead to surprising differences in their way they think, feel and act. The primary aim of the study was to examine the cultural differences among North Indian and South Indian Adolescents based on their level of attitude. A total of 100 adolescents (50 North Indians + 50 South Indians) ages ranging from 13-19 years were taken as sample for the study. Sodhi’s Attitude scale (Sodhi, 1984) was used to assess the attitude of adolescents. The results exhibited a significant difference in the attitude of North Indian and South Indian Adolescents towards their parents, teachers, discipline, life and humanity and religion

Structural Modelling of the Relationship between the Vulnerability of Ukrainian Regions to COVID-19, Environmental Status and Factors of Readiness of the Medical System

The division of the regions of Ukraine into “red”, “orange”, “yellow” and “green” zones are the consequences of the differentiated regional impact of the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus, but the reasons for such different vulnerabilities have not been clarified yet. The purpose of the study is to construct a system of regression equations containing implicit variables that are common characteristics of industries and help to analyse relationships in a complex system. The methodological tools of the study were: review of current scientific trends using VOSViewer 1.6.10, the main component method, which allows selecting the most significant factors and model with structural equations that reflect the relationship between the three areas of activity. 25 oblasts of Ukraine were selected as the object of the study, since they have different levels of vulnerability to the pandemic and can become a model for studying the regional differentiation of any country. The study presents the results of an empirical analysis of the structure of three areas of activity of the country. Modelling of structural equations to establish the relationship between the factors of vulnerability of the regions of Ukraine from the COVID-19 pandemic, the environmental state and the state of readiness of the medical system is carried out. It is theoretically substantiated that there is a direct connection between the studied areas: environmental, medical and epidemiological, and that deterioration in one industry leads to deterioration in another. The results obtained prove that it is possible to influence the differentiated course of the pandemic, but not after the event. A consistent increase in funding from the state budget for healthcare would have a greater effect, with sufficient financial support for environmental protection. The choice of state strategies must be approached comprehensively, because a narrow reform of the system, such as medical, will not give the maximum effect, without an innovative policy in the field of ecology

Interactive, Hands-On Training for Hospital Workers Increases Level of Special Pathogen Preparedness

The purpose of this evaluation was to determine the effect of intensive, interactive training on hospital workers’ preparedness for special pathogen cases by utilizing the Frontline Facility Special Pathogens Training Course created by the Systemwide Special Pathogens Program at New York City Health + Hospitals (NYC H+H). An 8 h course was offered in 2018 and 2019 to healthcare employees throughout the Department of Health and Human Services Region 2, mostly from NYC H+H. Evaluation included multiple-choice pre and post exams, a 26-question survey about level of preparedness before and after the training, and follow-up interviews focused on changes in facility protocols. As a result, 61% of survey respondents indicated that they had never previously attended a hospital-sponsored special pathogen training. After the training, there was a 53.3% report rate of feeling “very prepared,” compared to 14.6% before the training. Additionally, there was an 11% improvement in test scores. Furthermore, 77% of respondents reported that their facility had changed protocols relating to topics of the course after their training date. Survey participants reported general satisfaction with the course, as well as an increased level of preparedness for special pathogen cases. Together, the results of the exams, survey, and interviews suggest that this interactive, mixed-method training increases special pathogen preparedness across different healthcare sectors. With the ongoing threat of special pathogens, the need for continued training and maintaining a state of readiness is paramount in healthcare.

Based on their state of readiness, 85% of the respondents were adequate, 15% moderate, and none not ready. Conclusion: Most of the respondents had a good attitude and ready for IPE. It was found that the aspects of the role in the team are mostly fairly good compared to aspects of values in the team and efficiency in the team which are mostly in the good category. The readiness showed adequate state in 2 aspects which are teamwork and collaboration and professional identity, whilst the aspect of role and responsibility was moderate. Consequently, improvement should be directed for the attitude to play a role in the team and the readiness in role and responsibility aspects.

Nadmierny popęd płciowy

The sex drive is concretized in sexual contact, which is one of the essential interpersonal contacts. The sex drive is a selective state of readiness to accept a partner in terms of his sexuality. It is a biological activity, showing a certain degree of independence from the consciousness and distinctiveness of the sexes and mental performance. In the practice of a family doctor, there are relatively rarely patients who present themselves with sexological problems. It is therefore worth discussing the issue of sexual health in a medical interview. A rare, but important problem that requires an interdisciplinary approach is hypersexuality, i.e. excessive sexual desire felt by patients. It should be remembered that hypersexuality is a disease that requires specialist sexological treatment – psychotherapeutic and pharmacological procedures. The key is the individual approach to the patient, who must show willingness to treat and conduct systematic actions in order to achieve improvement.
