Information Hiding and Digital Transformation: Strategies for First Information Reports (FIR) and Police Records

Throughout the last few years, it has become increasingly obvious that everything is moving from a traditional world to a digital one. In order for police organizations to remain competitive, they need to keep up with the rapid technological advancements that are taking place in order to stay ahead of the competition. The First Information Report (FIR) in South Asian and Southeast Asian countries is a legal document which provides police with information about an apparent crime which has been reported to them by the victims of crimes. It is part of the police's investigation process. The police still have a difficult time getting accurate information from victims in terms of what exactly occurred during the incident, which makes getting accurate information from them very difficult. The filing of a police report presents a wide range of challenges as far as police organizations are concerned. There is a major challenge in the investigation of crimes involving victims concealing information about critical knowledge subsets and the complexity of these sets from the police authorities. For police records to be managed effectively it requires an organisational transformation that is driven by well-established digital strategies that offer an overall view and full transparency of both the knowledge about FIRs as well as the access to them. There is no doubt that an organization such as a police force cannot underestimate the importance of adopting the right technologies and frameworks as part of its digital transformation strategy in order to be able to meet the needs of its customers. The challenge of solving the long-standing problem of police organizations with limited resources concealing knowledge is going to be a long-term task that can be quite challenging. This paper presents several strategies and best practices which can be adopted by law enforcement organizations so that they can successfully transform digitally and achieve their goals through the implementation of these strategies and best practices.

What about us?: a call to include oral health professions within interprofessional education for collaborative practice

ABSTRACT Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) among the health professions is recognised as a vital component of efficient health systems and comprehensive healthcare teams. Interprofessional education for collaborative practice (IPECP) is foundational for health professional students to gain an understanding of professional roles, responsibilities, and the value of other professions to patient care. Oral health professionals are highly skilled and knowledgeable experts who recognise the oral-systemic health link. However, they have been largely excluded from, and underutilised within primary healthcare settings and interprofessional teams. Given that oral health is a key indicator of overall health and wellbeing, there is a need mobilise oral health professionals within primary healthcare practice. Yet, advancements for IPECP in oral health education face significant barriers which impede the integration of the oral health professions within interprofessional teams. Collaborative approaches across health programmes to devise intentional, authentic, and transformative strategies for IPECP are needed to bridge gaps in patient care and to dismantle problematic perceptions of ‘oral health’ as distinct from overall health and wellbeing in contemporary healthcare practice.

Cobalt Nitride-Implanted PtCo Intermetallic Nanocatalysts for Ultrahigh Fuel Cell Cathode Performance.

Stable and active oxygen reduction electrocatalysts are essential for practical fuel cells. Herein, we report a novel class of highly ordered platinum-cobalt (Pt-Co) alloys embedded with cobalt nitride. The intermetallic core-shell catalyst demonstrates an initial mass activity of 0.88 A mgPt-1 at 0.9 V with 71% retention after 30,000 potential cycles of an aggressive square-wave accelerated durability test and loses only 9% of its electrochemical surface area, far exceeding the US Department of Energy 2025 targets, with unprecedented stability and only a minimal voltage loss under practical fuel cell operating conditions. We discover that regulating the atomic ordering in the core results in an optimal lattice configuration that accelerates the oxygen reduction kinetics. The presence of cobalt nitride decorated within PtCo superlattices guarantees a larger barrier to Co dissolution, leading to the excellent endurance of the electrocatalysts. This work brings up a transformative structural engineering strategy for rationally designing high-performing Pt-based catalysts with a unique atomic configuration for broad practical uses in energy conversion technology.

Critical Success Factors and Acceptance of the Casemix System Implementation Within the Total Hospital Information System: Exploratory Factor Analysis of a Pilot Study.

The health care landscape is evolving rapidly due to rising costs, an aging population, and the increasing prevalence of diseases. To address these challenges, the Ministry of Health of Malaysia implemented transformation strategies such as the Casemix system and hospital information system to enhance health care quality, resource allocation, and cost-effectiveness. However, successful implementation relies not just on the technology itself but on the acceptance and engagement of the users involved. This study aims to develop and refine items of a quantitative instrument measuring the critical success factors influencing acceptance of Casemix system implementation within the Ministry of Health's Total Hospital Information System (THIS). A cross-sectional pilot study collected data from medical doctors at a hospital equipped with the THIS in the federal territory of Putrajaya, Malaysia. This pilot study's minimum sample size was 125, achieved through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a web-based questionnaire adapted from the human, organization, and technology-fit evaluation framework and the technology acceptance model. The pilot data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and the Cronbach α assessed internal reliability. Both analyses were conducted in SPSS (version 25.0; IBM Corp). This study obtained 106 valid responses, equivalent to an 84.8% (106/125) response rate. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy was 0.859, and the Bartlett test of sphericity yielded statistically significant results (P<.001). Principal component analysis identified 9 components explaining 84.07% of the total variance, surpassing the minimum requirement of 60%. In total, 9 unique slopes indicated the identification of 9 components through EFA. While no new components emerged from the other 7 constructs, only the organizational factors construct was divided into 2 components, later named organizational structure and organizational environment. In total, 98% (41/42) of the items had factor loadings of >0.6, leading to the removal of 1 item for the final instrument for the field study. EFA ultimately identified 8 main constructs influencing Casemix implementation within the THIS: system quality, information quality, service quality, organizational characteristics, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, intention to use, and acceptance. Internal reliability measured using the Cronbach α ranged from 0.914 to 0.969, demonstrating high reliability. This study provides insights into the complexities of EFA and the distinct dimensions underlying the constructs that influence Casemix system acceptance in the THIS. While the findings align with extensive technology acceptance literature, the results accentuate the necessity for further research to develop a consensus regarding the most critical factors for successful Casemix adoption. The developed instrument is a substantial step toward better understanding the multidimensional challenges of health care system transformations in Malaysia, postulating an underpinning for future fieldwork and broader application across other hospitals.

Vanadium-Doped Heterointerfaced Ni3N-MoOx Nanosheets with Optimized H and H2O Adsorption for Effective Alkaline Hydrogen Electrocatalysis.

Nickel (Ni)-based materials represent a compelling avenue as platinum alternatives in the realm of alkaline hydrogen electrocatalysis. However, conventional nickel nitrides (Ni3N) have long been hindered by sluggish hydrogen evolution kinetics in alkaline environments, owing to inadequate adsorption strengths of both hydrogen and water molecules. Herein, a novel approach is presented involving the design of vanadium (V)-doped Ni3N/MoOx heterogeneous nanosheets (V-Ni3N@MoOx), engineered to achieve optimized adsorption strengths for hydrogen evolution and oxidation reactions (HER/HOR). Theoretical insights underscore the superior catalytic performance of this composite, attributed to a synergistic interplay between unique V doping and the heterointerfaced structure. This synergistic effect not only fine-tunes the electronic structure, establishing an optimal d band center to mitigate proton over-bonding, but also ameliorates the energy barrier through enhanced H2O dissociation capability. Consequently, V-Ni3N@MoOx manifests remarkable catalytic activities, evincing an overpotential of 56mV at 10mAcm-2 for HER and an exchange current density of 1.91mAcm-2 for HOR in alkaline media. Notably, the stability assessment reveals the enduring performance of V-Ni3N@MoOx for HER/HOR, exhibiting no activity decay over extended operational durations. This study underscores the efficacy of heterogeneous interface modulation as a transformative strategy in designing Ni-based materials for alkaline hydrogen electrocatalysis.

Flatbreads in Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Uighur Groups and its Role in Sustainable Food System

Abstract Background Flatbreads are various types of comparably thin bread and are widespread in a large region. People embed flatbreads with special cultural meanings and adapted local ingredients for baking flatbreads. More attention has been focused on flatbreads in recent years. However, how the cross-border Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Uighur groups use flatbreads is understudied. Methods To understand how the cross-border Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Uighur groups use flatbreads, the current paper reviews existing English, Mandarin, and some Russian literature to summarize how the Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Uighur groups use flatbreads. Results The results show that these three ethnic groups prepare and use flatbreads in multiple aspects. The Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Uighur people use 23, 9, and 17 types of flatbreads respectively. The flatbreads used by the Kazakh and Kyrgyz people have more overlapping than those of the Uighur people while the relevant studies of Kyrgyz people are more understudied. This resemblance may be because of the closer nomadic lifestyle and the similar influences of Russia and the USSR. The ingredients of flatbreads are aligned with the local ecosystems and have been evolving consistently in the past centuries because of the changes in technology, politics, lifestyles, health perceptions, acculturation, and globalization. Conclusions Because of the eco-friendly features of flatbreads and the widespread use of these foods, flatbreads have a high potential to support a regional strategy for sustainable food system transformation and planetary health along the Silk Road countries. To achieve this goal, more studies should be conducted to contribute missing information about ingredients, cooking methods, features, and regional differences in using flatbreads; more nutritious and bio-diverse recipes of flatbreads and the most eco-friendly cooking energy resources for baking flatbread should be identified; new meanings should be given to flatbreads to promote the use. Key messages • The first study to summarize how Kazakh, Uighur, and Kyrgyz peoples use flatbread. • Justify a potential to use flatbread for sustainable food system transformation.

Investigating N6-methyladenosin RNA modification as a mediator of microRNA mechanical regulation in the heart

Abstract Background The heart is exposed to mechanical forces and continuously adapts to its environment in a process known as cardiac remodeling. Excessive mechanical load is a primary driver of pathological cardiac remodeling, leading to heart failure (HF), a prominent cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A set of microRNAs (miRs), termed mechano-miRs, has been identified to respond to mechanical forces and contribute to heart pathophysiology and HF. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification is emerging as a novel regulatory layer impacting gene expression and occurring both in coding and non-coding RNAs. In this context, the N6-adenosine-methyltransferase METTL-3 regulates the processing of miR primary transcripts (pri-miRs) to functional miRs, promoting angiogenesis and cardiac repair after myocardial infarction. On the other side, dysregulation of m6A due to a defect in FTO, a m6A demethylase, has been implicated in HF. However, the role of m6A RNA modifications in heart mechanical responses and mechano-miR regulation remains unexplored. Purpose This project aims to: 1) investigate the impact of mechanical overload on the expression of m6A regulatory machinery components; 2) unveil the role of m6A-mechano-miRs axis in mechanically induced responses driving pathological cardiac remodeling leading to heart failure. Methods and Results Using living myocardial slices (LMS) technology, we modulate mechanical load in a multicellular environment while maintaining physiological behavior. Human LMS, obtained from the left ventricle of human donor non-failing hearts (NHS Blood and Transplant INOAR program, IRAS project ID: 189069) and rat LMS are subjected to two degrees of mechanical preload: physiological sarcomere length (SL) (SL = 2.2 μm) and overload (SL = 2.4 μm). This enables us to mimic the effects of mechanical stress on the heart during HF (volume overload model). LMS are maintained for 48 hours under electrical stimulation in circulating oxygenated media at 37°C. Mechanically overloaded LMS exhibit decreased contractility, accompanied by an increase in global m6A levels compared to physiological controls. Consistent with this finding, the analysis of the expression of m6A machinery reveals a downregulation of m6A demethylases (FTO and ALKBH5) in overloaded LMS. We identified putative cardiac mechano-miRs by small-RNA sequencing in both human and rat LMS and next predicted potential m6A sites on their primary transcripts via SRAMP (sequence-based RNA adenosine methylation site predictor). Conclusions Mechanical overload affects global m6A levels and the expression of m6A demethylases in the heart. Ongoing analysis of the m6A profile on the identified mechano-miR primary transcripts and mRNA targets holds promise for unveiling novel mechanically regulated m6A events, providing insights for transformative therapeutic strategies.
