Among the most prestigious opportunities is the Fulbright Program, a U.S. government initiative that provides one of the largest scholarships for studying in the U.S. Similar scholarships are available for studying in Germany, the UK, and other nations. The Fulbright Foreign Student Program https://foreign.fulbrightonline.org/apply offers graduate students, young professionals, and artists from over 160 countries the chance to study and conduct research in the U.S. Every year, approximately 4,000 foreign students receive Fulbright scholarships. This program is managed by binational Fulbright Commissions/Foundations or U.S. Embassies, and all applications must be processed through these offices. The U.S. Education Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP) administers the largest Fulbright program in the world. The USEFP manages scholarships for both undergraduate semester exchange programs and graduate (MS, PhD) studies. For Pakistani citizens, applications for fully funded MS and PhD programs in the U.S. are currently open, with a March 5, 2025 deadline.

]]> Comparison and prediction of Fish Quality using Internet of Things (IoT) – multiple gas sensors https://assetonline.org/comparison-and-prediction-of-fish-quality-using-internet-of-things-iot-multiple-gas-sensors/ Sat, 09 Dec 2023 02:27:27 +0000 https://assetonline.org/?p=5106 Background:
Fish is one of the perishable-sensitive foods that leads to many foodborne illnesses and toxicity. The appropriate processing and storage conditions for fish play a significant role in their safety and perishability. Even deviations in the processing and subsequent cold-chain maintenance accelerate the spoilage followed by histamine development in marine products. In this study, the role of packaging conditions (Regular, Shrink, and Vacuum packaging) and storage temperature (5°C ± 3°C) on the quality of selected fish varieties was studied. The selected fish fillets are Red Snapper, Pomfret, and Cuttlefish.
Methodology:
Multiple gas sensors to detect ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, methane, and butane were assembled in Arduino UNO is used as the microcontroller. Adafruit IO is the IoT to display data. PLX is used to store databases in the cloud. The MQ-135 and MQ-136 sensors measured the Ammonia and hydrogen sulfide content of packed fish. The basic quality attributes of fish fillets such as pH, protein content, fat content, Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen (TVB-N – a fish freshness indicator), color analysis, texture profile, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis were performed as per standard procedures. The analysis was conducted on alternative days for 12 days in every packaging condition at refrigerated temperature for selected fish.
Results and Discussion:
There was a consistent increase in the TVB-N of fish at refrigerated temperatures in all packaging methods. The increase in TVB-N content could be because of the release of ammonia during the deamination of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) or histamine as the storage day increases. The results showed a positive correlation between MQ -135 and MQ-136 sensor data and the protein content based on nitrogen content and TVB- N. The FTIR results also showed the presence of common functional groups like Nitro compounds in a peak range of 1500-1550. The peak range of 1580-1650 and 2500-3300 signifies the functional group of amine and carboxylic acid respectively, indicating the developmental stage of histamine in the refrigerated fish samples packed in different packaging conditions. The fat content, pH, color, and texture profile of the samples also indicate the onset of loss of fish quality in the given conditions. The regression models indicate the positive correlation between the sensor data and analysis data to predict the stability of the packed fish.

]]> Patients’ Satisfaction with Nursing Care Quality and Associated Factors in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Section Study https://assetonline.org/patients-satisfaction-with-nursing-care-quality-and-associated-factors-in-saudi-arabia-a-cross-section-study/ Tue, 13 Dec 2022 15:18:21 +0000 https://assetonline.org/?p=4339 Aim: This research aimed to evaluate patients’ satisfaction with the nursing care quality during their hospitalization.
Design: Quantitative cross‐sectional descriptive design.
Methods: A convenience sample of 238 patients were recruited from hospitals in two provinces in Saudi Arabia. Patient satisfaction was measured by the Arabic version of the Patients’ Satisfaction with Nursing Care Quality Questionnaire (PSNCQQ-Ar).
Results: Significant differences were found between Saudi provinces regarding the overall quality of nursing care (M = 4.65, p < 0.001). The study revealed mean significant variations between patient satisfaction with nursing care and sociodemographic factors, including age (p = 0.002), education level (p = 0.047), marital status (p = 0.017), employment status (p = 0.038), urban vs. suburban residence (p = 0.006), length of hospitalization (p = 0.001), and accompaniment by a family member (p = 0.014). Improving patients’ experience during their hospitalization requires regular examination of the quality of nursing care services.
Patient Contribution: This research enhances our understanding of patients satisfaction towards the quality of nursing care received during hospitalization.
