    This study aims to bring out the engagement level of university students during this pandemic. The research is to study the levels of engagement such as affective, behavioural, and cognitive engagement on the dependent variable of students' performances. As in this pandemic, most classes are online, and students need different classes and web-based tools to interact in the classroom. The biggest challenge to the educational sector is the transformation, and by 2030 there could be a change in the educational sector. For this purpose, the primary data are collected from 979 students of the Kingdom of Bahrain. PLS-SEM was utilised to analyse the measurement and structural models through SmartPLS 3.3.2 software to prove the construct's hypothesis. Therefore, the study utilised the combinative PLS method that fulfils the characteristics of the model. The study results show that affective engagement, behavioural engagement, and cognitive engagement positively affect the students' performance. The moderating effect of class & web-based tools between behavioural engagements and student performance negatively reflects the SEM Model. The education sector is at the centre of revolution from the traditional learning system to more technological-based learning

    Get PDF
    Basis of the microwave imaging is the contrast in dielectric properties of breast normal tissue and tumor. Confocal microwave imaging involves transmitting an ultrawideband signal through number of antennas and records the scattered signals. Then by synthetically focusing reflections from the breast, we can make image from breast. In this article, we demonstrate the feasibility of detecting 10- and 5-mm tumors in three dimensions with different antenna arrangements with different number of antennas. Two models of hemispherical array are presented. An image formation algorithm is presented for 3D image making. Successful detection of 10- and 5-mm tumors are achieved with the hemispherical arrangement. The influences of the different breast sizes for tumor detection are also explored

    Role of Graphene Oxide in Bacterial Cellulose−Gelatin Hydrogels for Wound Dressing Applications

    Get PDF
    Biopolymer-based hydrogels have several advantages, including robust mechanical, high biocompatibility, and excellent properties. These hydrogels can be ideal wound dressing materials and advantageous to repair and regenerate skin wounds. In this work, we have reported fabricated of composite hydrogels from gelatin and graphene oxide-functionalized-bacterial cellulose (synthesized by hydrothermal method) (GO-f-BC) and crosslinked with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). The hydrogels were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and water contact angle analyses to explore functional groups and their interactions, surface morphology, and wetting behavior, respectively. The swelling, biodegradation, and water retention were tested to respond to biofluid. Maximum swelling was exhibited by samle with maximum amount of GO (GBG-4) in all media (aqueous = 1902.83%, PBS = 1546.63%, and electrolyte = 1367.32%). The hemolysis of all hydrogel samples is less than 0.5%, and the blood coagulation time decreased as the hydrogel concentration increased. The composite hydrogels were found to be hemocompatible as they have less than 0.5% hemolysis for all hydrogel samples under in vitro standard conditions. These hydrogels performed unusual antimicrobial activities against Gram (positive and negative) bacterial strains. The cell viability and proliferation were increased with an increased GO amount, and maximum values were found for GBG-4 against fibroblast (3T3) cell lines. The mature and well-adhered cell morphology of 3T3 cells was found against all hydrogel samples. Hence, based on these results findings, these hydrogels would be potential wound dressing skin materials for wound healing applications.We are grateful to the European Union's Horizon to support the research project.

    Single molecule thin film featuring disubstituted thiourea (TU) doped with chlorophyll as potential active layer in photovoltaic cell

    Get PDF
    The versatility of conjugated thiourea compound enhances the development of molecular wire architectures due to the overlapping of π-electrons which can be applied as potential organic solar cell (OSC). Hence, new innovational and breakthrough are needed for OSC molecules to become competitive in the future since they represent lower cost and more flexible devices, tunable electronic properties and easier processing compared to other organic molecules. Due to this interest, a study on the performance of essentially linear conjugated organic compound based on Donor (D)-π-Acceptor (A) system which featuring D-ArNHC=SNH-A-NHC=SNHAr-D to act as potential active layer in OSC was carried out. The synthesized compound was successfully designed, prepared, and characterized prior to form thin film. The compound was then spectroscopically and analytically characterized via ¹H and 13C Multi-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), UV-Visible Analysis (UV-Vis), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), CHNS Elemental Microanalysis as well as Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) analysis. In turn, it was fabricated on Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) substrate before its conductivity behaviour, efficiency and OSC parameter were evaluated by Four Point Probe. From the electrical conductivity study, it revealed that it performed better and higher conductivity with the presence of chlorophyll (CHLO) under maximum light intensity of 100 Wm-2. The result shows the electrical conductivity increases with the increasing of the light intensity. The electrical conductivity of the thin films shows the conductivity of 0.2040 Scm-1 (with CHLO) compares to 0.1472 Scm-1 (without CHLO) under maximum light intensity. From the result obtained, it clearly shows the synthesized compound has great potential to act as an active layer in photovoltaic cell. Therefore, further investigation on photovoltaic studies on the similar molecular system should be seriously considered for further development in molecular electronics application

    Antimicrobial resistance among migrants in Europe: a systematic review and meta-analysis

    Get PDF
    BACKGROUND: Rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are rising globally and there is concern that increased migration is contributing to the burden of antibiotic resistance in Europe. However, the effect of migration on the burden of AMR in Europe has not yet been comprehensively examined. Therefore, we did a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify and synthesise data for AMR carriage or infection in migrants to Europe to examine differences in patterns of AMR across migrant groups and in different settings. METHODS: For this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, and Scopus with no language restrictions from Jan 1, 2000, to Jan 18, 2017, for primary data from observational studies reporting antibacterial resistance in common bacterial pathogens among migrants to 21 European Union-15 and European Economic Area countries. To be eligible for inclusion, studies had to report data on carriage or infection with laboratory-confirmed antibiotic-resistant organisms in migrant populations. We extracted data from eligible studies and assessed quality using piloted, standardised forms. We did not examine drug resistance in tuberculosis and excluded articles solely reporting on this parameter. We also excluded articles in which migrant status was determined by ethnicity, country of birth of participants' parents, or was not defined, and articles in which data were not disaggregated by migrant status. Outcomes were carriage of or infection with antibiotic-resistant organisms. We used random-effects models to calculate the pooled prevalence of each outcome. The study protocol is registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42016043681. FINDINGS: We identified 2274 articles, of which 23 observational studies reporting on antibiotic resistance in 2319 migrants were included. The pooled prevalence of any AMR carriage or AMR infection in migrants was 25·4% (95% CI 19·1-31·8; I2 =98%), including meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (7·8%, 4·8-10·7; I2 =92%) and antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (27·2%, 17·6-36·8; I2 =94%). The pooled prevalence of any AMR carriage or infection was higher in refugees and asylum seekers (33·0%, 18·3-47·6; I2 =98%) than in other migrant groups (6·6%, 1·8-11·3; I2 =92%). The pooled prevalence of antibiotic-resistant organisms was slightly higher in high-migrant community settings (33·1%, 11·1-55·1; I2 =96%) than in migrants in hospitals (24·3%, 16·1-32·6; I2 =98%). We did not find evidence of high rates of transmission of AMR from migrant to host populations. INTERPRETATION: Migrants are exposed to conditions favouring the emergence of drug resistance during transit and in host countries in Europe. Increased antibiotic resistance among refugees and asylum seekers and in high-migrant community settings (such as refugee camps and detention facilities) highlights the need for improved living conditions, access to health care, and initiatives to facilitate detection of and appropriate high-quality treatment for antibiotic-resistant infections during transit and in host countries. Protocols for the prevention and control of infection and for antibiotic surveillance need to be integrated in all aspects of health care, which should be accessible for all migrant groups, and should target determinants of AMR before, during, and after migration.
