Views of stakeholders on factors influencing shared decision-making in the Eastern Mediterranean Region: a systematic review.

Background Shared decision-making is advocated as a key component of patient-centred care and associated with many benefits that improve patient outcomes. However, shared decision-making is not yet embedded in clinical practice and confronts many barriers that hinder its implementation especially in countries of the World Health Organization (WHO) Eastern Mediterranean Region. Aims We conducted a systematic review to identify and understand factors influencing shared decision-making in the Region. Methods We searched PsycINFO, CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, Scopus and Saudi Digital Library for articles published between January 1997 and February 2019. Studies conducted in the Region that reported barriers, facilitators, experiences, expectations and attitudes to shared decision-making were included. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) was used to assess the methodological quality of the studies in this review. Results Of the 1813 initial articles retrieved, 19 eligible articles were identified. The main factors that emerged were grouped under three broad themes: participant factors (patients/families and physicians); consultation factors (relationship between participants, engaging patients, evaluating preferences, introducing options, providing information, and decision making); and healthcare system factors (organizational characteristics, time constraints, continuity of care, and healthcare resources). Conclusions There is growing interest in shared decision-making in several countries in the Region. However, there are many existing barriers that hinder the implementation of shared decision-making. These need to be addressed before shared decision-making can be fully adopted in these countries.
Effect of post embryo transfer Vitamin C supplementation on the outcome of in-vitro fertilization

Background: In-vitro fertilization is successful Assisted Reproductive Technology for infertility but it has challenges like recurrent implantation failure, miscarriages and premature birth. Supplementation of different micronutrients during In-vitro fertilization has emerged as upcoming modality to improve outcome. Objective: To evaluate the effect of post embryo transfer supplementation with vitamin C on the outcome of the In-vitro fertilization. Methodology: A randomized open-label study was carried out on 120 women undergoing In-vitro fertilization for infertility treatment. They were randomly divided in two groups; one group received 1000 mg/day oral Vitamin C supplementation post embryo transfer along with the standard treatment protocol of In-vitro fertilization and other group received standard treatment protocol for the In-vitro fertilization only. Both the groups were followed up till its outcome and compared statistically in terms of spotting, bleeding, hospitalization, term delivery and child birth weight. Results: Increased intake of ascorbic acid significantly reduced spotting (81.67% in Vitamin C Group vs. 63.33% in Control Group; p=0.0245) and reduced need of hospitalization (p=0.032). Intake of Vitamin C significantly reduced the incidence of low child birth weight (46.67% in Vitamin C Group vs. 76.67% in Control Group; p=0.0007). Significant improvement in duration of pregnancy was achieved with intake of Vitamin C with Preterm pregnancy 20%, term pregnancy 65% and lower incidence of miscarriages 15% (p=0.0819). It was observed that the technique of In-vitro fertilization does not have significant impact on outcome of pregnancy in both the groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: Vitamin C supplementation has significantly improved the outcome of In-vitro fertilization techniques with reduced incidence of spotting and miscarriages along with improved term pregnancy.
Working with Children with ADHD—A Latent Profile Analysis of Teachers’ and Psychotherapists’ Attitudes

A positive attitude of teachers and psychotherapists towards children with ADHD can both support their mutual relationship and support reducing ADHD-related symptoms. According to Fishbein and Ajzen’s rational-choice approach, attitude formation is based on a person’s expectations and the appraisal of these, thus attitude, therefore, differs individually. The present study aimed to identify different attitude profiles based on our participants’ answer patterns on the ADHD-school-expectation questionnaire’s (ASE) subscales, and to examine which attitude profile would be desirable for professionals working with children with ADHD. We conducted a latent profile analysis and investigated differences between the latent profiles. Our analysis revealed three attitude profiles characterized by negative, moderate and extreme ratings of expectations. The attitude profiles differed in further variables such as the use and effectiveness of rating classroom management strategies, knowledge of ADHD, perceived control, stress and strain, as well as some personality traits. The extreme rating profile seems to be beneficial for children with ADHD, whereas the moderate rating profile might appeal to certain professionals.
Financial Policymaking after Crises: Public vs. Private Interest

What drives actual government policies after financial crises? In this paper, we fi rst present a simple model of post-crisis policymaking driven by both public and private interests. Using the most comprehensive dataset available on de-facto financial liberalization over seven policy domains across 94 countries between 1973 and 2015, we then establish that fi nancial crises can lead to more government intervention and a process of re-regulation in financial markets. Consistent with a demand channel from public (interests) to policymakers, we fi nd that post-crisis interventions are common only in democratic countries. However, by using a plausibly exogenous political setting -i.e., term limits- muting policymakers' accountability, we show that democratic leaders who do not have re-election concerns are substantially more likely to intervene in financial markets after crises, in ways that promote their private interests. These privately-motivated interventions cannot be associated with immediate crisis response, operate via controversial policy domains and favour incumbent banks in countries with more revolving doors between political and financial institutions.

The Effect of Organizational Citizenship Behavior on the Performance of Civil Servants (Study at Palu City Environment Office)

This study aims to analyze the effect of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) on the performance of civil servants (study at the Palu City Environment Office). This research was designed quantitatively using the census sampling method with 98 respondents. Data analysis was performed descriptively and quantitatively using multiple linear regressions. The results showed that OCB simultaneously had a positive effect on civil servants' performance, especially at Palu City Environment Office. Therefore, this study's results recommend the need to build an OCB culture in various public organizations.
Threshold Displacement Energies and Subthreshold Displacements in Copper and Gold Near 10°K

These experiments were undertaken to determine more precisely the minimum energy Td needed to displace an atom from its lattice position. The resistivity increase as a function of integrated flux was measured at various electron energies. The damage‐production curve, thus obtained, was the sum of two components. The first contribution is due to direct displacement processes. From a projection of this component to zero, we estimate TdCu=16–19 eV and TdAu=33–36 eV. The second contribution, the subthreshold events, are due to various ``soft spots'' associated with unavoidable impurities in the nominally 99.999% pure copper and gold specimens. It has been shown that displacements near dislocations do not contribute in a significant manner. It has been further shown that the formation of light‐atom interstitials can contribute to subthreshold processes. While this does not conclusively prove that subthreshold processes in nominally pure copper and gold are due to the presence of light‐atom impurities, we belie.
Fixing the Fix for Silver and Gold

Accusations of price manipulation in the silver and gold markets have emerged in recent years. In an effort to increase transparency, the London spot price “fixing” mechanism was recently changed from an opaque negotiation process among a small number of dealer banks to a more observable auction platform system with more participants and public reporting. This change in the price fixing process raises questions about whether manipulation was occurring prior to the fix change and whether any perceived manipulation has since been reduced. Our results suggest that the changes to the price fixing process have impacted volatilities and prices within the silver and gold markets which could be an indicator of manipulation prior to the change.
Development of starch based intelligent films by incorporating anthocyanins of butterfly pea flower and TiO2 and their applicability as freshness sensors for prawns during storage

Intelligent pH sensitive starch films were developed by incorporation of anthocyanin pigment extracted from butterfly pea flower (BPE) and nanosized TiO2 using the method of solution casting. This research work evaluated the influence of BPE and TiO2 on the physical and structural properties of starch films. The physical properties of the starch films could be significantly altered by the addition of BPE and or TiO2. The starch films S/BPE and S/BPE/TiO2 exhibited higher barrier properties against water vapour as compared to the control films. Incorporation of BPE and TiO2 could decrease the thickness and moisture content of films. S, S/BPE starch films were transparent and, S/TiO2 and S/BPE/TiO2 films were opaque. Control starch films were colourless, whereas S/BPE films have purple colour. Owing to the inclusion of BPE and TiO2 particles, structural characterization by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) did not show any major changes in polymer structure. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the addition of TiO2 enhanced the thermal stability of starch films to a significant extent. The color of different starch-based films was determined using the CIE Lab scale under different pH conditions and compared with the control. The fabricated (S/BPE and S/BPE/TiO2) films exhibited visually perceptible colour changes in the pH range between 1 and 12. Consequently these films could be used as intelligent pH indicators for monitoring the freshness of prawn seafood samples. During the storage of prawn food samples for 6 days, the color of the film changed from light pink to green which is a clear indication of spoilage of food material.
Recorded prevalence of nasal polyps increases with age

Introduction Nasal polyps are a multifactorial inflammatory condition of the upper airways. Nasal polyps typically affect middle-aged and elderly patients, average age at diagnosis is 40 to 60, and men are affected more commonly than women. Aim To analyse the reported prevalence of nasal polyps in the Polish population, including demographics and co-morbidities, and to estimate the costs of outpatient and hospital (inpatient) services financed by the National Health Fund. Material and methods Statistical analysis of data extracted from the National Health Fund (NHF) registers for 2008–2018. Results In 2018, the recorded prevalence of nasal polyps in Poland was 52.0/10,000 population (0.52%), amounting to 64.6/10,000 (0.65%) in men and 40.2/10,000 (0.40) in women. Nasal polyps were much more frequent in patients aged 55–59 (98.1/10000) and 75–79 years (98.7/10,000). Among men, the highest prevalence was found in the 75–79 age group (164.3/10,000 population), and among women in the 55–59 age group (75.1/10,000). In 2018, the Polish NHF spent PLN 17.2 million (equivalent to EUR 4.0 million/USD 4.7 million) on health services related to the diagnosis of nasal polyps. Hospital services accounted for 77.4% of the total cost. Conclusions Nasal polyps are more than one and a half times as prevalent in men than in women. The recorded prevalence of nasal polyps increases with age, with the rates peaking in those between 75 and 79 years old, and is more often in urban than rural areas.
Movement of Foxfonna rock glacier in Svalbard between 2017-2019

The movement of a rock glacier located at the bottom of the Foxfonna glacier, Svalbard, Norway, was studied through the use of photogrammetry and feature tracking software, between the years of 2017-2019, as well as elevation changes between 2009 and 2019. This could aid in further knowledge about the rapid velocity changes of rock glaciers in a continuous permafrost environment. It was found that the front part of the rock glacier moved approximately 2m between 2017 and 2018, and up to 2.5m/y between 2018-2019. The elevation changes showed a large accumulation of mass in its frontal area over the years, where some features have moved around 20m since 2009. Further south on the upper part of the rock glacier, movement changes were few, but elevation changes still occurred. Factors, such as icing, internal hydrology, permafrost changes, that could influence the movement of the rock glacier have been discussed and suggestions for future studies, including ground penetrating radar (GPR) and temperature measurements, have been made.

Infrared spectroscopy of the CH stretching modes of partially F‐substituted benzenes. II. The fundamental spectrum of fluorobenzene

This work is part of a series aimed to investigate the fundamental and overtone transitions of the CH stretching modes in partially F‐substituted benzenes. In this article we report the study of the fundamental transitions of fluorobenzene (C6H5F) in the wave numbers range from about 3000 to 3150 cm−1. The absorption spectrum has been measured through both a low‐temperature opto‐acoustic cell and a supersonic‐beam opto‐thermal spectrometer. The opto‐thermal spectrometer enabled us to measure the detailed vibrational structure, providing the basis for an algebraic analysis of the fundamental CH transitions. We show, in particular, how benzene algebraic procedures must be modified for taking into account the effects induced by the substitution of one hydrogen atom with fluorine, i.e., (i) the reduction of symmetry and (ii) the frequency (chemical) shift due to the change of electron distribution. Moreover we include the contribution of anharmonic resonances between unperturbed CH stretching modes and overto.
The Spanish Labour Market at the Crossroads: Covidâ?19 Meets the Megatrends

This paper reviews the experience so far of the Spanish labour market during the Covid-19 crisis in the light of current institutions, past performance during recessions, and the policy measures adopted during the pandemic. Emphasis is placed on the role of worldwide trends in labour markets (automation and AI) in shaping a potential recovery from this (hopefully) transitory shock through a big reallocation process of employment and economic activity.
High Output Power SOA Assisted Extended Reach EADFB Laser (AXEL) TOSA for 400-Gbit/s 40-km Fiber-Amplifier-Less Transmission

An AXEL sub-assembly and a 4-channel AXEL TOSA were designed and fabricated. The sub-assembly with a width of less than 0.65 mm was needed to make the width of TOSA applicable to QSFP-DD transceiver. On the other hand, the wire that connects between the terminator and the DC block capacitor must be 0.5 mm or longer to obtain 3-dB bandwidth of over 40 GHz which is enough for 50-Gbaud operation. To become that wire length 0.5 mm or more on the narrow sub-assembly, the AXEL chip was placed between the RF circuit board integrated with the terminator and the DC block capacitor. As a result, the AXEL sub-assembly with a width of only 0.65 mm and with a 3-dB bandwidth of more than 40 GHz was realized. Based on the designed sub-assembly, the 4-channel AXEL TOSA was fabricated. Size of the TOSA is only 18.2 × 6.2 × 5.4 mm (which is suitable for a QSFP-DD transceiver). Optical-modulation amplitudes (OMAs) of the fabricated TOSA exceed +4.7 dBm for all channels. 40-km SMF fiber-amplifier-less transmission of 4-channel × 100-Gbit/s/λ signals was successfully demonstrated by using the fabricated 4-channel AXEL TOSA, 4-channel APD ROSA, and a commercially available DSP. Loss budgets exceed 18 dB for all channels.
Chemical and Genetic Differentiation of Ligularia pleurocaulis in Northwestern Yunnan and Southwestern Sichuan Provinces of China

Intra-specific diversity of Ligularia pleurocaulis was examined from both chemical and genetic aspects, using furanoeremophilanes as the chemical index and the nucleotide sequences in the atpB-rbcL and the ITS1 regions as the genetic index. Four samples of L. pleurocaulis were collected in northwestern Yunnan, and six in southwestern Sichuan. From the ethanol extracts of the roots of all of the samples, four compounds, 6 beta-angeloyloxy- and 6 beta-tigloyloxy-furanoeremophil-1(10)-enes, and 6 beta-angeloyloxy- and 6 beta-tigloyloxy-furanoeremophil-1(10)-en-3 beta-ols were isolated. Further, 3 beta-angeloyloxyfuranoeremophil-1(10)-en-6 beta-ol and furanoligularenone were isolated from the Yunnan and the Sichuan samples, respectively. Two variants were found for the atpB-rbcL sequence. Base multiplicity in the ITSI region was observed at only a few positions in the Yunnan samples, whereas it was observed at about 10 positions for the Sichuan samples. These results show that L. pleurocaulis is diverse, both chemically and genetically, and that plants in northwestern Yunnan and those in southwestern Sichuan can be distinguished by their chemical and genetic indexes.
Influence of growing conditions on the technological performance of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Summary Six bread wheat cultivars were grown in the same environment according to a conventional and an organic agricultural protocol. Hardness, moisture, test weight, protein and ash content and falling number were determined on kernels. Flour yield, particle size distribution and damaged starch were determined on flours together with farinograph and alveograph parameters. Loaves of bread were also baked following a straight dough standardised recipe. Results indicated that protein content was the quality parameter which was negatively influenced by organic farming. Hardness was also negatively influenced in four out of six cultivars, whereas the other technological parameters did not show the same trend for all the cultivars. The milling performance was similar between organic and conventional samples, whereas the differences in protein contents were clearly responsible for differences in rheological properties. As expected, volumes of the organic loaves of breads were significantly lower than those of the corresponding conventional ones.
Archetype Cationic Iridium Complexes and Their Use in Solid‐State Light‐Emitting Electrochemical Cells

The archetype ionic transition‐metal complexes (iTMCs) [Ir(ppy)2(bpy)][PF6] and [Ir(ppy)2(phen)][PF6], where Hppy = 2‐phenylpyridine, bpy = 2,2′‐bipyridine, and phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline, are used as the primary active components in light‐emitting electrochemical cells (LECs). Solution and solid‐state photophysical properties are reported for both complexes and are interpreted with the help of density functional theory calculations. LEC devices based on these archetype complexes exhibit long turn‐on times (70 and 160 h, respectively) and low external quantum efficiencies (∼2%) when the complex is used as a pure film. The long turn‐on times are attributed to the low mobility of the counterions. The performance of the devices dramatically improves when small amounts of ionic liquids (ILs) are added to the Ir‐iTMC: the turn‐on time improves drastically (from hours to minutes) and the device current and power efficiency increase by almost one order of magnitude. However, the improvement of the turn‐on time is unfortunately accompanied by a decrease in the stability of the device from 700 h to a few hours. After a careful study of the Ir‐iTMC:IL molar ratios, an optimum between turn‐on time and stability is found at a ratio of 4:1. The performance of the optimized devices using these rather simple complexes is among the best reported to date. This holds great promise for devices that use specially‐designed iTMCs and demonstrates the prospect for LECs as low‐cost light sources.
Pseudotumoral form of schistosomiasis mimicking neuroendocrine tumor: a case report and brief review of the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses

Differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses may become complex and requires careful anamnesis, physical examination and several complementary tests. We present the clinical case of a male patient aged 45 years who was diagnosed with a 4cm paraaortic lesion compatible with neuroendocrine tumor in the abdominal computed tomography (CT) exam. The workup performed with SPECT-CT, somatostatin receptors scintigraphy, MIBG scintigraphy, 24-hour urine total and fractionated catecholamines and 24-hour urine 5-OH indoleacetic did not confirm the first diagnostic impression. Finally, the lesion was biopsied and presence of micro-organisms was revealed. Further exams confirmed schistosomiasis as the cause of the paraaortic lesion. Histological diagnosis can be helpful with regard to the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses.
