The Effect of Guided Imagery and Progressive Muscle Relaxation on Sedation in Patients Undergoing Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation

Mental imagery and relaxation are noninvasive methods and can easily be used by the patient. Accordingly, this study aimed to detect the effect of guided mental imagery (GI) and progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) on sedation in patients undergoing noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV). This clinical trial study was carried out in the Shahid Modarres Hospital in 2022 and encompassed 80 patients with COVID-19 undergoing NIV, who were assigned to two intervention and control groups. The sedation survey scale was used to collect the required data. Before the intervention, the two groups completed the questionnaires, and then the relaxation program was presented during four sessions for the intervention group. This study included 80 patients with a mean age (± SD) of 59.59 ± 9.27 years. The Quade nonparametric ANCOVA revealed the significant impact of intervention on the post values of Total score (p-value < 0.001), Tolerance (p-value < 0.001), Calmness (p-value < 0.001), Ventilator synchrony (p-value < 0.001), face relaxation (p-value < 0.001), Consciousness (p-value = 0.009) and Awakeness (p-value = 0.020). The study findings demonstrated the effectiveness of relaxation program in promoting sedation in patients undergoing NIV. Accordingly, intensive care unit (ICU) nurses at our institution are encouraged to use PMR and GI to sedation of patients under NIV.

Genetic variation in growth, ionic accumulation and salt tolerance indices under long-term salt stress in halophytic Tunisian sea barley (Hordeum marinum ssp. marinum)

Context Identification of salt-tolerant genetic resources is of high importance due to the constant increase in salt-affected areas. Aims This study was conducted to assess genetic variation in salt response among and within Tunisian sea barley populations and to identify useful genotypes for future breeding programmes directed towards improving salinity tolerance. Methods The salinity response of 141 lines from 10 natural populations of Hordeum marinum ssp. marinum was characterised at a morphophysiological level, following exposure to 200 mM sodium chloride for 90 days. Key results ANOVA revealed significant differences in growth and ion accumulation between and within populations in response to salinity. The Sebkhet Ferjouna population was less affected than Sidi Othman and Tabarka; however, it accumulated relatively higher sodium and lower potassium and potassium/sodium ratio. Stress Tolerance Index (STI) and Salt Tolerance (ST) values varied significantly among populations and lines. STI was positively correlated with potassium and negatively correlated with sodium content in roots and leaves, whereas no evidence of a relationship between both cations and ST was observed. Conclusions SO7, SO28, LB5, LB25, TB1, MT3 and BK12 with high values of STI were identified as high yielding lines in control and salt stress conditions, whereas MT3, BK12, MT17, BF10, SL8, SL16 and SF32, with the highest values of ST, were characterised by a small yield loss and low sensitivity when exposed to salinity. Implications These lines constitute a genetic resource with desirable adaptation characteristics for breeding programmes towards salinity tolerance in cultivated cereals.

Strengthening the Value of Religious Moderation in the Era of Society 5.0

Indonesian people who are multi-religious are prone to act intolerantly towards religious people and do not use religion as an inspiration in social life but as an aspiration. In addition to an understanding of religious moderation in a multicultural society, Indonesia is faced with the challenges of the 5.0 era of society. where people experience changes to a new life based on information technology. The purpose of this study is to obtain an overview of religious moderation. In addition, this research also aims to provide insights related to strengthening religious moderation amid an information society in the era of Society 5.0. This study used a qualitative approach using library research. The results show that strengthening religious moderation cannot be separated from the value of tolerance. The era of society 5.0 is increasingly open to information about various kinds of different views and understandings of religion. It takes an attitude of tolerance both passively and actively. Passive tolerance is carried out with an attitude of respect, and respect for differences, while tolerance is active, namely communicating both in the real world and the virtual (digital) world, building togetherness, and collaborating in the life of Society 5.0.

IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTICLE 46 LAW NUMBER 18 OF 2019 CONCERNING ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOLS SIYASAH FIQIH PERSPECTIVE

Islamic boarding schools are community-based institutions and founded by individuals, foundations, Islamic community organizations, or communities that instill faith and devotion to Allah SWT, which creates noble morals and upholds the Islamic teachings of rahmatan lil'alamin which are reflected in a humble, tolerant, balance, moderation, and noble values of the Indonesian nation through education, Islamic preaching, example, and community empowerment. The data analysis method used is a qualitative descriptive method using an inductive thinking process. The implementation of Article 46 of Law Number 18 of 2019 concerning Islamic Boarding Schools (Studies at the Jabal An-Nur Al-Islami Islamic Boarding School, West Betung Bay, Bandar Lampung City) has been implemented with the efforts of Ustadz-Ustadz to provide facilities and infrastructure in the santri education process. The rules at the Jabal An-Nur Al-Islami Islamic Boarding School in terms of facilities and infrastructure are quite good, but the suitability of the Islamic Boarding School is not sufficient to be said to be good, such as the lack of a language lab and computer lab like other modern Islamic Boarding Schools so it is said to not be in accordance with Article 46 Law Number 18 of 2019 concerning Islamic Boarding Schools. Planning for educational facilities and infrastructure at the Jabal An-Nur Al-Islami Islamic Boarding School was created to support student educational facilities. Planning for program facilities and infrastructure is made by the Islamic boarding school with the coordination of the foundation through a series of stages, namely the Islamic boarding school coordination meeting which is held once a year. Fiqh Siyasah Review of the Implementation of Article 46 of Law Number 18 of 2019 concerning Islamic Boarding Schools at the Jabal An-Nur Al-Islami Islamic Boarding School was not carried out in accordance with Siyasah Tanfidziyyah because the Jabal An-Nur Al-Islami Islamic Boarding School and the Regional Government did not carry out their mandate. in Article 46 of Law Number 18 of 2019 concerning Islamic Boarding Schools.

The Need for Social Training of Students on Islamic Ground: A Study of Contemporary Challenges

In an era marked by rapid societal changes, globalization, and the proliferation of information, the social training of students on Islamic grounds has become a subject of paramount importance. This study delves into the critical examination of the challenges faced by students in contemporary society, emphasizing the need for a proactive approach to address these challenges through social training rooted in Islamic principles.

The collected data were purged from the redundancy and then thematically analyzed. This study revealed that a unified effort to prioritize the social training of students on Islamic grounds is a means to empower them with the tools needed to navigate the complexities of the modern world. Only through a holistic and well-informed approach to education can the values of compassion, tolerance, and understanding help to guide the hearts and minds of future generations, which will ultimately lead to fostering a more peaceful and harmonious world.

Inconsistencies in the EU regulatory risk assessment of PFAS call for readjustment

Recognition of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as widespread environmental pollutants and a consequent risk to human health, has recently made the European Union (EU) adopt several regulatory measures for their management. The coherence of these measures is challenged by the diversity and the ubiquitous occurrence of PFAS, which also complicates the EU’s endeavor to advance justified, harmonized, and transparent approaches in the regulatory assessment of chemical risks. Our study critically reviews the European approach for the risk assessment of PFAS, by applying a comparative analysis of the current and pending regulatory thresholds issued for these chemicals in water bodies, drinking water, and certain foodstuffs. Our study shows that the level of health protection embedded in the studied thresholds may differ by three orders of magnitude, even in similar exposure settings. This is likely to confuse the common understanding of the toxicity and health risks of PFAS and undermine reasonable decision-making and the equal treatment of different stakeholders. We also indicate that currently, no consensus exists on the appropriate level of required health protection regarding PFAS and that the recently adopted tolerable intake value in the EU is too cautious. Based on our analysis, we propose some simple solutions on how the studied regulations and their implicit PFAS thresholds or their application could be improved. We further conclude that instead of setting EU-wide PFAS thresholds for all the environmental compartments, providing the member states with the flexibility to consider case-specific factors, such as regional background concentrations or food consumption rates, in their national regulatory procedures would likely result in more sustainable management of environmental PFAS without compromising the scientific foundation of risk assessment, the legitimacy of the EU policy framework and public health.

Portrait of Muna Language Wisdom and Inheritance of Values in Katoba Rituals in Overseas Muna Communities

The Muna community wherever they go will bring their traditions with them. One of the traditions they have is the katoba ritual. This ritual is the obligation of parents to carry it out, especially for their children who have entered the age of puberty (7-11) years. Its implementation outside the Muna area will result in the dynamics of language use, especially the katoba ritual language which was originally Muna language shifted into three languages ​​in its delivery, namely Muna, Indonesian, and Arabic. This is because the katoba children who live overseas are no longer fluent in Muna. This research aims to describe the portray the wisdom of the Muna language and the inheritance of values ​​contained in the katoba ritual in the overseas Muna community in Kendari City. This research uses qualitative and ethnographic approaches. The research findings show that the use of the Muna language in the katoba ritual is very vital because contains language wisdom and values ​​are represented in the Muna language. Even though the katoba children in Kendari City no longer understand the Muna language, an imam took the initiative to use it in Muna/Arabic, and translate it into Indonesian. This is done so that the values ​​contained in it can be inherited properly. The values ​​contained in the katoba ritual in the overseas Muna community in Kendari City are: religious values, moral values, philosophical values, ethical values, and tolerance values.&#x0D;

Methyl jasmonate improves selenium tolerance via regulating ROS signalling, hormonal crosstalk and phenylpropanoid pathway in Plantago ovata

Selenium (Se) toxicity is an emerging contaminant of global concern. It is known to cause oxidative stress, affecting plant growth and yield. Plantago ovata, a major cash crop known for its medicinal properties, is often cultivated in Se-contaminated soil. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the use of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) seed priming technique to mitigate Se-induced phytotoxicity. The results demonstrated that Se stress inhibited P. ovata growth, biomass and lowered chlorophyll content in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment with 1 μM MeJA enhanced the antioxidant defence system via ROS signalling and upregulated key enzymes of phenylpropanoid pathway, PAL (1.9 times) and CHI (5.4 times) in comparison to control. Caffeic acid, Vanillic acid, Chlorogenic acid, Coumaric acid and Luteoloside were the most abundant polyphenols. Enzymatic antioxidants involved in ROS scavenging, such as CAT (up to 1.3 times) and GPOX (up to 1.4 times) were raised, while SOD (by 0.6 times) was reduced. There was an upregulation of growth-inducible hormones, IAA (up to 2.1 fold) and GA (up to 1.5 fold) whereas, the stress-responsive hormones ABA (by 0.6 fold) and SA (by 0.5 fold) were downregulated. The alleviation of Se toxicity was also evident from the decrease in H2O2 and MDA contents under MeJA treatment. These findings suggest that MeJA can effectively improve Se tolerance and nutraceutical value in P. ovata by modulating the phytohormone regulatory network, redox homeostasis and elicits accumulation of polyphenols. Therefore, MeJA seed priming could be an efficient way to enhance stress resilience and sustainable crop production.

The Culture and Tradition of Educational Practice In Madrasah

This article aims to explore the tradition and culture of education in madrasahsMadrasah to see the educational construction found in the reinforcement of a nation’s character. This study used a qualitative approach of ethnography study, which emphasizes the importance of the central role of culture in understanding the way of life of observed groups through the ethnography method. Furthermore, the data source consists of primary data such as the words or spoken stuff and the behaviors from the subjects related to the Madrasah’s educational instruction in the reinforcement of characters and secondary data such as text, recording, or pictures, which is related to educational practices conducted. The findings show that the educational culture and tradition of the Madrasah have transformed the characters’ values scientifically through the tradition implemented in the daily activity of the people in the Madrasah. The uniqueness of characteristics of people in the Madrasah is shown through the individual or group behavior, language, and tradition, which can reflect the values of honesty, togetherness, tolerance, respect, and others, which all values are part of the substance in reinforcing characters. The reinforcement of students’ character at Madrasah is through the process of self-establishment, the habituation of good students’ behavior through every activity until they become strong cultural characters.

Automated Test for Monthly Quality Assurance of Optical Surface Imaging Dynamic Localization Accuracy.

The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) recently published the report of Task Group (TG) 302, which provides recommendations on acceptance, commissioning, and ongoing routine quality assurance (QA) for surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT) systems. One of the recommended monthly QA tests is a dynamic localization accuracy test. This work aimed to develop an automated procedure for monthly SGRT dynamic localization QA. An anthropomorphic head phantom was rigidly attached to the 6-dof couch of a TrueBeam linac. TrueBeam Developer Mode was used to take an MV image of the phantom at the starting position, then automatically drive the couch through a series of translations and rotations, taking an MV image after each translation. The Identify SGRT system monitored the motion of the phantom surface from the starting position. Translations assessed on MV images were compared to translations reported in trajectory log files and Identify log files. Rotations were compared between trajectory log files and Identify log files. Three experiments were conducted. None of the translations or rotations from any experiment exceeded the tolerance values for stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SABR) recommended by AAPM TG-142. Maximum deviations from the expected translation values from MV imaging, trajectory log files, and Identify log files were -0.94mm, -0.11mm, and -0.78mm, respectively. Maximum deviations from the expected rotation values from trajectory log files and Identify log files were 0.01 and -0.2 degrees, respectively. The proposed method is a simple automated way to complete monthly dynamic localization QA of SGRT systems.

Intrafractional motion detection for spine SBRT via X-ray imaging using ExacTrac Dynamic

PurposeDue to its close vicinity to critical structures, especially the spinal cord, standards for safety for spine stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) should be high. This study was conducted, to evaluate intrafractional motion during spine SBRT for patients without individualized immobilization (e.g., vacuum cushions) using high accuracy patient monitoring via orthogonal X-ray imaging. MethodsIntrafractional X-ray data were collected from 29 patients receiving 79 fractions of spine SBRT. No individualized immobilization devices were used during the treatment. Intrafractional motion was monitored using the ExacTrac Dynamic (ETD) System (Brainlab AG, Munich, Germany). Deviations were detected in six degrees of freedom (6 DOF). Tolerances for repositioning were 0.7 mm for translational and 0.5° for rotational deviations. Patients were repositioned when the tolerance levels were exceeded. ResultsOut of the 925 pairs of stereoscopic X-ray images examined, 138 (15 %) showed at least one deviation exceeding the predefined tolerance values. In all 6 DOF together, a total of 191 deviations out of tolerance were recorded. The frequency of deviations exceeding the tolerance levels varied among patients but occurred in all but one patient. Deviations out of tolerance could be seen in all 6 DOF. Maximum translational deviations were 2.6 mm, 2.3 mm and 2.8 mm in the lateral, longitudinal and vertical direction. Maximum rotational deviations were 1.8°, 2.6° and 1.6° for pitch, roll and yaw, respectively. Translational deviations were more frequent than rotational ones, and frequency and magnitude of deviations showed an inverse correlation. ConclusionIntrafractional motion detection and patient repositioning during spine SBRT using X-ray imaging via the ETD System can lead to improved safety during the application of high BED in critical locations. When using intrafractional imaging with low thresholds for re-positioning individualized immobilization devices (e.g. vacuum cushions) may be omitted.

Using the gamma-index analysis for inter-fractional comparison of in-beam PET images for head-and-neck treatment monitoring in proton therapy: A Monte Carlo simulation study

Goal:In-beam Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a technique for in-vivo non-invasive treatment monitoring for proton therapy. To detect anatomical changes in patients with PET, various analysis methods exist, but their clinical interpretation is problematic. The goal of this work is to investigate whether the gamma-index analysis, widely used for dose comparisons, is an appropriate tool for comparing in-beam PET distributions. Focusing on a head-and-neck patient, we investigate whether the gamma-index map and the passing rate are sensitive to progressive anatomical changes. Methods/materials:We simulated a treatment course of a proton therapy patient using FLUKA Monte Carlo simulations. Gradual emptying of the sinonasal cavity was modeled through a series of artificially modified CT scans. The in-beam PET activity distributions from three fields were evaluated, simulating a planar dual head geometry. We applied the 3D-gamma evaluation method to compare the PET images with a reference image without changes. Various tolerance criteria and parameters were tested, and results were compared to the CT-scans. Results:Based on 210 MC simulations we identified appropriate parameters for the gamma-index analysis. Tolerance values of 3 mm/3% and 2 mm/2% were suited for comparison of simulated in-beam PET distributions. The gamma passing rate decreased with increasing volume change for all fields. Conclusion:The gamma-index analysis was found to be a useful tool for comparing simulated in-beam PET images, sensitive to sinonasal cavity emptying. Monitoring the gamma passing rate behavior over the treatment course is useful to detect anatomical changes occurring during the treatment course.

Character Development Strategy for Tolerance in Islamic Boarding Schools

This study aims to describe the character of tolerance and its development strategy at Mathlabul Ulum Jambu Lenteng Islamic Boarding School Sumenep. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that the character of tolerance at Mathlabul Ulum Islamic Boarding School was developed through four forms, namely planting tolerance values, learning tolerance values, acculturation of tolerance, and Niha'i program. The cultivation of tolerance values has been the core strategy of the pesantren since its inception, which is motivated by the historical reality of the surrounding community, which is full of conflict and disharmony. The learning of tolerance values is integrated into the formal curriculum and the teaching of moral books. Acculturation of tolerance is done through activities that involve interaction with the community, such as gotong royong, night patrols, imamah prayers, and routine recitations. The Niha'i program, which consists of Real Work Lectures (KKN) and community service, is the culmination of tolerance character development. The strategy of developing a tolerance character is carried out through exemplary kai/caregiver, fostering tolerance values, and community service. The findings of this study confirm and strengthen the urgency of tolerance education in pesantren, as well as contribute a new perspective on a comprehensive and systematic model of tolerance character development.

The effects of different fiber fractions from sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) pomace and fiber modification methods on cake quality.

Sour cherry pomace is the largest byproduct of sour cherry processing with more than 0.4 million tonnes per year. In this study, sour cherry pomace powder (SCPP) has been treated individually or by a combination of microwave (MW), enzymatic hydrolysis, and high pressure to increase soluble dietary fiber (SDF) content. Then, the untreated or treated forms of SCPP, their SDF, and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) isolates were added (5%) to the reduced-fat cake. Rheological, physical, and textural properties of the full-fat (50%) and the reduced-fat (25% fat) cakes enriched with dietary fiber (DF) were compared. SDF enrichment minimized the negative effect of fat reduction in the cake. Water absorption, mixing tolerance, hardness, and springiness values of the SDF-enriched samples were found as the lowest. Extensibility, energy, weight loss, and cohesiveness values were found to be the highest values with the addition of SDF. All treatments helped to decrease mixing tolerance, dough development, and stability time. MW was the critical treatment for DF modification. Individual MW-treated DF samples increased resistance to extension of the dough samples as compared to the untreated SDF, IDF, and SCPP. Nevertheless, SDF showed better performance in acting as a fat replacer than IDF and SCPP. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The soluble dietary fiber (SDF) isolate minimized the negative effect of fat reduction in cakes. Water absorption and mixing tolerance of the dough were measured as the lowest. The hardness and springiness of soluble dietary fiber-enriched cakes were found to be the lowest. Extensibility and weight loss reached the highest value when SDF was used. Treatments helped decrease mixing tolerance, dough development, and stability time.

TOLERANCE OF SOIL LOSS BY EROSION IN THE WESTERN MESOREGION OF MARANHÃO

The growing technological advance in agriculture, verified through the introduction of machines, fertilizers, new cultivars, and expansion of agricultural frontiers, has provided, in general, an increase in the average yield of crops due to the rational management of the soil-climate-plant system. However, as the soil is managed without adopting conservationist practices, imbalances and instability occur, constituting serious problems such as desertification, salinization, soil erosion, etc. Thus, this study aimed to determine the soil loss tolerance by erosion in the western mesoregion of Maranhão. The methods used to determine tolerance used effective depth (h), textural ratio (r), textural ratio and clay content in the A horizon, organic matter, and permeability, where the equations for each method were: T= h. r. 1000-1 (Method I); T = h. ra. 1000-1 (Method II) and T = h. ra. m. P. 1000-1 (Method III). The highest soil loss tolerance values were identified in method I (1.95 t ha-1 yr-1), then method III (0.76 t ha-1 yr-1), and finally, method II (0.67 t ha-1 yr-1), observing soil loss tolerance values differed about the method used.
