Objective: To describe the design and evaluation of a dashboard tool to assess the readiness for advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs).
Methods: The investigators developed a dashboard tool for the appraisal of APPE readiness consisting of indicators of pharmacy student knowledge, skills, and noncognitive attributes. For the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 rotation years, a panel of stakeholders used the dashboard to evaluate APPE readiness. Students deemed not ready (5 or more dashboard indicators) had a remediation experience before the APPEs. The investigators monitored the students who were deemed ready but at risk for substandard performance (3 or 4 indicators or completion of remediation experience) and tracked the incidence of substandard performance for all APPE students. The outcomes were presented using descriptive statistics. Performance of the tool between years was compared using the χ test.
Results: For 2 APPE rotation cycles, the investigators evaluated readiness in 499 students. A total of 3 students were deemed not ready, and 78 students were considered at risk for substandard performance. The tool predicted 52.1% of students who experienced a substandard performance. It had a negative predictive value of 93.6% and a positive predictive value of 38.5% for substandard performance. The predictive value was similar across the risk categories of knowledge, skills, and noncognitive attributes.
Conclusion: A dashboard tool facilitating holistic evaluation of APPE readiness was helpful in identifying students who were not ready for APPEs or at risk for substandard performance. The next steps include refinement of the tool through the evaluation of characteristics of students who experienced substandard performance and were not identified by the tool.

Recent advancements in activated carbon production involve molten salt activation using a eutectic mixture of ZnCl-NaCl-KCl. This study explores the production of activated carbon from fruit waste, specifically walnut shells, using a 60:20:20 mol % eutectic mixture. Optimal conditions were identified through response surface methodology, with 400 °C and a salt-to-biomass ratio of 10 g/g, yielding a surface area of 276 m/g.

Young-onset diabetes (YOD) is characterised by unique diagnostic and management challenges more pronounced in resource-limited settings like Sri Lanka. We aimed to ascertain the prevalence, patterns and characteristics of YOD in Sri Lanka and describe the state of care. Retrospective review of baseline data of all patients enrolled in the prospective multicentre Database for Young-Onset Diabetes, Sri Lanka (DYOD-SL), was performed, from April 2021 to April 2023.

The objective was to evaluate the effect of providing dry pelleted starter diet (DPS) or a liquid mixture of milk replacer and starter diet (LMR+S) to suckling pigs housed in farrowing pens of sub-standard or optimal hygiene conditions on pig growth to slaughter, and post-weaning (PW) intestinal parameters. On day (d) 107 of gestation, 87 sows were randomly allocated to one of four treatments in a 2×2 factorial arrangement. The factors were creep feeding (DPS or LMR+S) and pre-farrowing hygiene routine (SUB-STANDARD or OPTIMAL).

Electrochemical batteries play a crucial role for powering portable electronics, electric vehicles, large-scale electric grids, and future electric aircraft. However, key performance metrics such as energy density, charging speed, lifespan, and safety raise significant consumer concerns. Enhancing battery performance hinges on a deep understanding of their operational and degradation mechanisms, from material composition and electrode structure to large-scale pack integration, necessitating advanced characterization methods.
