We assessed the feasibility of using REDCap as a factorial design survey (FDS) platform. REDCap lacks randomization and automation functionality, requiring the development of a workaround. A template survey was created containing all vignettes, copied for each survey instance and edited to hide unwanted content. REDCap configuration required three hours for forty-two surveys. The utilized "copy-and-hide" workaround was successful, providing quasi-automation and reasonable labor-time. Additional strategies are planned using REDCap's Data Dictionary and other survey software.

High levels of nitrogen compounds can lead to acute toxicity in aquatic organisms. Ammonia, a by-product of protein breakdown, is the most prevalent contaminant in freshwater environments. Increasing salinity in water sources can cause fluctuations in salinity levels within breeding ponds.

Research focus has transitioned from interprofessional collaborative practice among qualified health practitioners to the involvement of pre-qualifying students in practicing interprofessional education. It is essential to establish outcome measures to enhance the seamless integration of interprofessional education and collaborative practice. The aim of this study was to develop a culturally appropriate quality measure for assessing interprofessional education and collaborative practice for health practitioners and students in Indonesia by performing cross-cultural validation of the collaborative practice assessment tool (CPAT).

The paper outlines the development and optimization of an aerodynamic device for a semi-trailer truck model to reduce aerodynamic drag force. The optimization procedure involves the selection of a basic aerodynamic device shape, using airfoil profiles, and refining its shape and position through established optimization techniques like Full Factorial Design and Response Surface Method within the Design of Experiments framework. The test subject is a 1:10 scale model of the semi-trailer truck.

Melatonin is considered an effective bio-stimulant that is crucial in managing several abiotic stresses including drought. However, its potential mechanisms against drought stress in fragrant roses are not well understood. Here, we aim to investigate the role of melatonin on plants cultivated under drought stress (40 % field capacity) and normal irrigation (80 % field capacity).
