The incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is on the rise, it has been a major public health problem and places a significant burden on healthcare systems. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an increasingly popular form of renal replacement therapy. Patients undergoing dialysis treatment undergo specific pathophysiological and psychological changes. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the experiences of ESRD patients receiving PD in order... Читать дальше...

Fault-tolerant control strategy of six-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor based on deadbeat current prediction

Plos.org 

by Hanying Gao, Qi Chen, Shenghan Liang, Yao Dong

The fault-tolerant control after phase loss is crucial in the studies of the six-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), and the one phase loss is the most frequent phase loss fault. To improve the system instability caused by nonlinear and time-varying perturbations of inductance parameters in a double-Y phase shifted 30° six-phase PMSM, an improved deadbeat predictive current fault-tolerant control (DPC-FTC) method is proposed in this study.

Kindness: Definitions and a pilot study for the development of a kindness scale in healthcare

Plos.org 

by Austin B. Hake, Stephen G. Post

Background

Empathy and compassion currently receive the most attention in healthcare with respect to the medical humanities and while these skills are important for any clinician to learn, they are complex and can be daunting to healthcare trainees when first encountered. Kindness is a simple, time-sensitive behavior not yet well characterized in the healthcare setting. With this study, we aim to clearly define it as well as investigate a few common examples...

The effect of entrepreneurship education on the entrepreneurial intention of different college students: Gender, household registration, school type, and poverty status

Plos.org 

by Wanli Deng, Juan Wang

Entrepreneurship education (EE) is a crucial link to promoting college students’ entrepreneurship, which reduces unemployment, economic development, and poverty. Based on a sample of Chinese college students, this study uses a logistic model to investigate the effect of EE on entrepreneurial intention (EI). It focuses on evaluating the impact of EE on the EI of different groups of college students from the perspectives of gender, household registration, school type, and poverty status. Читать дальше...

Changes in reproductive behavior associated with the perception and individual experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic

Plos.org 

by Jitka Slabá

This study evaluates the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the reproductive behavior of men and women during the most restrictive period of the pandemic in Czechia. At the end of this period, data was collected for the Czech GGS COVID Pilot–Follow-up Study (April 2021), which included additional questions on reproductive plans and perceptions of the pandemic related to fertility. The study focuses in detail on the evaluation of the favorability of fertility during this period... Читать дальше...

An AI-based intervention for improving undergraduate STEM learning

Plos.org 

by Mohammad Rashedul Hasan, Bilal Khan

We present results from a small-scale randomized controlled trial that evaluates the impact of just-in-time interventions on the academic outcomes of N = 65 undergraduate students in a STEM course. Intervention messaging content was based on machine learning forecasting models of data collected from 537 students in the same course over the preceding 3 years. Trial results show that the intervention produced a statistically significant increase in the... Читать дальше...

Clients’ and genetic counselors’ perceptions of empathy in Japan: A pilot study of simulated consultations of genetic counseling

Plos.org 

by Chikako Tomozawa, Mikiko Kaneko, Motoko Sasaki, Hidehiko Miyake

The rapidly increasing availability of genetic testing is driving the acceleration of genetic counseling implementation. Empathy is important in medical encounters in general and forms a core component of a successful genetic counseling session; however, empirical evidence on empathy in genetic counseling is minimal. This study aimed to explore the perceptions of empathy in simulated genetic counseling consultations from the... Читать дальше...

A biochemical analysis of Black Soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larval frass plant growth promoting activity

Plos.org 

by Terrence Green

Black Soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larval (BSFL) frass was examined for its nutrient nitrogen, phosphate and potassium (N:P205:K2O), phytohormone and biogenic amine content, its plant growth promoting activity, and screened to test the hypothesis that bacteria characteristic of the genus Enterococcus (present in the biome of decaying catering waste and the larval gut) are excreted by BSFL in their frass. Frass plant growth promoting activity was measured by comparing... Читать дальше...

A sensitive tissue factor activity assay determined by an optimized thrombin generation method

Plos.org 

by Søren Risom Kristensen, Jette Nybo

Background

Tissue factor (TF) is the principal activator of the coagulation system, but an increased concentration in the blood in cancer and inflammatory diseases has been suggested to play a role increasing the risk of venous thromboembolism. However, measurement of the TF concentration is difficult, and quantitation of activity is the most valid estimation. The objective of this study was to establish a sensitive method to measure TF activity based on thrombin generation. Читать дальше...
