Self-reported olfactory and gustatory dysfunction in patients with COVID-19 infection

Objective: To investigate the incidence, comorbidity and recovery period of smell and taste loss in patients with COVID-19 infection, who were treated as outpatient or admitted to the hospital. Methods: 103 patients with COVID-19 infection were recruited from a COVID-19 Test Centre (CTC) and hospital wards. Subjects filled in an online self-report survey retrospectively at least six months after recruitment. The following epidemiological and clinical outcomes have been studied: age, gender, comorbidities, general and otolaryngological symptoms and recovery of the olfactory or gustatory loss. Results: All patients suffered from mild to severe respiratory disease. A high frequency of smell and taste dysfunctions was reported (71.2% and 78.9% respectively). 33% of the patients reported anosmia and 33% reported ageusia. The most frequent symptoms were fever, loss of smell and taste, dyspnoea and headache. The most common comorbidities were hypertension, obesity and diabetes. Males suffered 2.6 times more often from olfactory dysfunction than females. No statistical difference with regard to recovery time were found between man and women. There was a significant difference in the sense of taste scores before COVID-19 infection and during COVID-19 infection. Smell and taste dysfunction was related to clinical course of the infection. There was no difference in recovery of smell and taste recovery between CTC, ward and ICU patients. 87.2% of the patients reported to have recovered from their smell and taste dysfunctions after 4 months. Parosmia after recovery of loss of smell has been reported by 13% of the patients. Conclusion: After 4 months, 87% of the patients with COVID-19 infection had recovered from their smell and taste loss. The smell dysfunction was related to the clinical course of the disease but it seems that there is no difference in recovery time of smell dysfunction between patients with severe and critical course disease.
Change in Activity Performance Mediates the Relationship between Occupational Therapy Utilization and Discharge Disposition among Adults with Traumatic Brain Injuries

Abstract A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 435 adults with TBI who received occupational therapy services in an acute care trauma center hospital. Outcome measures were (1) occupational therapy utilization based on billed minutes of occupational therapy evaluation and treatment (low vs. high); (2) Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC) "6-Clicks" to assess activities of daily living level of assistance; and (3) Discharge disposition (community vs. institution). Community discharge included home and supported living facilities. Institutional discharge involved long term care, rehabilitation facility, short term hospital, and skilled nursing facility. Results indicated that change in ADL performance, between admission and discharge, partially mediated the relationship between occupational therapy utilization and community discharge (OR= 0.80, p = .003). High occupational therapy utilization (vs. low) was associated with greater change in ADL performance (β = 0.39, p < .001). Greater change in ADL performance was associated with lower odds of community discharge (OR= 0.96, p <.001). Independent of change in ADL performance, higher occupational therapy utilization was associated with significantly lower odds for community discharge (OR = 0.57, p = 0.023). In conclusion, patients who received more occupational therapy were less likely to be community discharged, as mediated by change in ADL performance. This result can provide direction for future research exploring acute care occupational therapy utilization and discharge disposition.
Utilization of Cerebrospinal Fluid Proteome Analysis in the Diagnosis of Meningioma: A Systematic Review

Meningiomas have been classified as the most commonly occurring primary brain tumors. Although the majority of meningiomas are benign and slow-progressing, the tumors that grow to a larger size are associated with various risks during surgical procedures. Early detection of meningiomas is crucial to the treatment as those detected early can be treated through non-invasive methods. Due to their benign nature, meningiomas contain homogeneous protein biomarkers that can be easily identified. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has a high protein composition which can be used to diagnose various brain tumors. Because CSF comes into direct contact with the brain during its functioning, it is one of the factors that makes it an important source of different biomarkers. An analysis of biochemical changes occurring in the CSF can be useful in assessing the condition of the periventricular white matter and the parenchyma. In this review, PubMed, Medline, PubMed Central, and Google Scholar were used to identify studies discussing meningiomas regarding their assessment, types, diagnosis, and treatment, with more attention directed towards the application of CSF proteome analysis in diagnosis. Priority was given to studies published within the last 15 years. The following keywords were used in the literature search: “cerebrospinal fluid,” “meningiomas,” “brain tumors,” “primary brain tumors,” “protein biomarkers,” “proteome analysis,” and “diagnosis. ” Subsequently, the 15 most relevant studies were selected for inclusion in the review. We excluded studies discussing different types of non-brain tumors as well as older articles. The selected studies also underwent a quality appraisal process using corresponding assessment tools. The selected articles were highly informative about meningiomas and the processes of diagnosis and treatment that are currently in use as well as those that are being developed or implemented. The use of CSF proteins in the diagnostic process is also discussed in this review. The studies also describe proteomics as a less invasive procedure that allows for the analysis of entire proteins and the projection of diagnostic images with higher resolutions that aid in the diagnosis.
Sustainable Behaviors and Happiness: An Optimistic Link

The present study aimed to explicate the impacts of a set of positive behaviours i.e., sustainable behaviours in shaping the nature and extent of happiness of the graduate students. Two hundred undergraduate students with equal number of male and female served as the participants in the present study. Six components of sustainable behaviours and happiness of the participants were measured with the help of the two standardized psychometric tools. The results evinced that the male participants demonstrated higher mean scores on energy conservation behaviours, mobility and transportation, waste avoidance and social behaviours toward conservation components of sustainable behaviours as compared to their female counterparts. Contrarily, the females showed higher mean scores on consumerism and recycling components of the same measure as compared to the males. Overall, the male scored significantly higher on the sustainable behaviours as compared to the females. Likewise, the male participants also achieved higher mean score on the measure of happiness as compared to the females. All the dimensions of sustainable behaviours were positively correlated with happiness. In addition, all the dimensions of sustainable behaviours significantly predicted happiness of the participants. The results of the study have been discussed in the light of current theories of environment, sustainable behaviours and happiness. The results of the study have significant implications for the policy makers, administrators, researchers, environmentalists and the public at large. The future directions of research have been discussed. An attempt has also been made to raise some theoretical and practical issues which are not only pertinent to the academia of today but also carry practical implications for all human beings. It focuses the need of conceptual and methodological exchange among the relevant branches of knowledge.
Criminality and economic growth province in Indonesian

The decline in economic growth, which is offset by the increasing number of people and the lack of availability of jobs, has caused more people to be affected and involved in non-crime activities based on the crime rate (CR). This study aims to analyze the effect of crime rates on provincial economic growth in Indonesia in 2011-2020. The variables used are economic growth, crime rates, investment, labor, and initial growth. The method used is the Fixed Effect Model. The results show that the higher the crime rate impacts the decline in economic growth, further increase in investment and labor will encourage economic growth. In contrast, the initial growth shows that the economy of poor provinces grows slower than rich provinces.
A two-factor saturation model for synchronous machines with multiple rotor circuits

It is generally felt that no major accuracy breakthrough in predicting the steady-state and transient performance of synchronous machines could be achieved without taking proper account of the iron saturation effects as well as eddy-current losses. Although the two issues were often treated separately in the past, this paper attempts to unite them by developing a general model covering both the main-path magnetic saturation and frequency effects in the dynamic equations. Mathematical analysis in the d-q space pinpoints cross-saturation coupling which, a priori, does not seem to be symmetrical for salient-pole machines. Yet the model is theoretically sound, since it fulfils at least the physical constraints using energy balance principles. Some test points from a 555-MVA turbine-generator are used for an initial assessment the model's capability to predict the field current and internal angle for various loading conditions.
The influence of imports, foreign exchange reserves, external debt, and interest rates on the currency exchange rates against the United States Dollar in Southeast Asia Countries

This study aims to analyze the effect of imports, foreign exchange reserves, foreign debt, and interest rates on the currency exchange rates against the United States Dollar in Southeast Asia countries. The study results found that from 2010 to 2017, the currency exchange rates against the United States Dollar in Southeast Asian countries tended to weaken (depreciate). The highest growth in the exchange rate against the United States dollar was in Indonesia, while the lowest was in Singapore. Foreign exchange reserves negatively affect foreign debt, and imports positively affect countries' exchange rates in the Southeast Asia region against the United States dollar. On the other hand, interest rates do not show a significant effect.
Potential opportunities and risks of sharing agricultural research data in Tanzania

Purpose: The purpose of this paper was to examine the potential opportunities and risks of sharing agricultural research data in Tanzania identified in the existing research literature. Design/methodology/approach: The study involved a review of the literature on research data sharing practices. Findings: The findings indicate that, research data sharing have significant positive benefits among researchers such as increase high research impact; enhancing international community collaboration among researchers with same interests; improving scientific transparency and accuracy of data (Rappert and Bezuidenhout, 2016); increasing research output whereby a single dataset can be used to generate more than one article by different authors; and many more. The risks hampering data sharing practices includes researchers’ fears that data will be scooped, poached or misused (Onyancha, 2016); unreliable electric power; lack of fund to support research data sharing activities; absence of institutional governmental support for data management; perceived lack of evidence benefits (Leonelli, Rappert and Bezuidenhout, 2018); and others. However, in Tanzania research data sharing is relatively new, thus, no any governmental agency mandating or encouraging research data sharing; therefore, there is no research data management; no research open data repositories and no research data sharing policy at any agricultural institution in Tanzania. The study recommends that agricultural researchers should be sensitized to share their data, research data policy and data repositories should also be established to support data sharing practices in Tanzania. Originality and usefulness: From the available literature, this has been the first time that an effort has been made to examine the potential opportunities and risks of sharing agricultural research data in Tanzania. The study could be used by agricultural institutions and other institutions to assess the researchers’ needs in supporting research data sharing. Also, it can be used by the government and institutions to see the need of establishing open data repositories and open data policies to support research data sharing.
A class E tuned amplifier configuration with finite DC-feed inductance and no capacitance in parallel with switch

A class-E tuned-amplifier configuration using a finite DC-feed inductance instead of an RF choke and a shunt capacitor is presented. Such a configuration is suitable in low-frequency applications (up to about 500 kHz), especially those using a thyristor as an active device. The analysis is not restricted by the conventional assumption of an infinite Q/sub L/ (loaded Q/sub L/ factor) for the series-tuned circuit, yielding results as a function of Q/sub L/. The design-element values, the active-device stress, the power output, the power-output capability, the output harmonic content, and the effects of circuit-element variations on the amplifier performance are discussed and plotted. >
Identifying the Critical Factors in Software Development Methodology Fit

In software development, one size does not fit all. Contingencies shape the alignment between the project and its environment, and between software development and project success. Yet the conditions favouring a particular software development methodology (e.g., waterfall or scrum) are not well understood. The current research aims to answer two questions: (1) What are the important factors in software development methodology (SDM) fit? (2) What is the role of SDM fit in project success? A review of the IT literature revealed two kinds of SDMs. On the one hand, there are traditional, plan-driven methodologies that seek compliance to a pre-established plan and existing processes. On the other hand, there are agile methodologies that seek to embrace the increasing changes and uncertainty involved in software development projects. The literature review established that there is no agreement on the contingencies associated with the use of each methodology, nor agreement on how to measure project success. Exploratory research was undertaken to identify contingencies in software development. Preliminary interviews of projects workers, using a card sort procedure, helped to identify key constructs and to generate and refine a set of measurement items. Then an international survey of software development project workers was conducted. Data analysis revealed two factors that are important in SDM fit: one is organizational culture; and the other is empowerment of the project team. The first factor encapsulates variables related to the project environment such as the level of entrepreneurship and methodology supported by top management. The second factor is related to the characteristics of the project and includes variables such as procedural empowerment and project uncertainty. No support was found for factors such as project size, criticality and the need for personnel supervision that are generally considered important contingencies. The current study also demonstrates that SDM fit is one of the predictors of project success, and affirms prior claims that one methodology does not fit all projects. The current research contributes to the SDM fit literature a contingency model that includes the impact of factors associated with the project and the project environment, on SDM fit and project success. The contingencies identified and evaluated by this research may assist practitioners to select the most appropriate methodology, and to achieve higher project success rates.
Hip Abductor Power and Velocity: Reliability and Association With Physical Function

Abstract Lanza, MB, Jin, KH, Karl, H, Myers, J, Ryan, E, and Gray, VL. Hip abductor power and velocity: reliability and association with physical function. J Strength Cond Res 37(2): 284–290, 2023—Muscle power, defined as the ability of the muscle to produce torque quickly, has received little attention and may be critical for understanding physical function and performance. Hip abductors' capacity to produce power through both torque and velocity is important for different human activities; hence, a reliable assessment of hip abduction is critical. The first aim of the study was to assess the intersession reliability of hip abductor muscles maximal torque and submaximal power and power during standing hip abduction in young adults using pneumatic resistance. A secondary aim was to investigate whether there was a relationship between hip abductor maximal torque and submaximal power and velocity with clinical assessments of strength and power in young adults. The subjects (n = 24; 26.0 ± 3.7 years) visited the laboratory 2 times. In the first visit, the subjects performed on a pneumatic resistance machine 1-repetition maximum (1RM) and submaximal tests (40, 60, and 70% of 1RM) of the hip abductors and clinical tests of lower-extremity strength and power (The 30-second chair stand test [30CST]; and stair climb power test). During the second visit, all tests were repeated except the clinical tests. One-repetition maximum torque and submaximal power and velocity (at all levels) had excellent reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient ≥ 0.943) with absolute reliability of 13.5% up to 28.3%. The agreement between days from Bland-Altman plots for power and velocity was near 0 for all levels. Hip abduction velocity had a significant positive correlation with 30CST at 60% (r = 0.416; p = 0.048) and 70% of 1RM (r = 0.442; p = 0.035). In conclusion, we showed an excellent intersession reliability of the hip abductor muscles 1RM torque and submaximal power and velocity using pneumatic resistance. Furthermore, we demonstrated that hip abduction velocity might be important for the performance of the 30CST.
Single-stage, single-switch, isolated power supply technique with input-current shaping and fast output-voltage regulation for universal input-voltage-range applications

A new single-stage, single-switch, input-current shaping (S/sup 4/ICS) technique which combines the boost-like input-current shaper with a continuous-conduction-mode DC/DC output stage is described. In this technique, the boost inductor can operate in both the discontinuous and continuous conduction modes. Due to the ability to keep a relatively low voltage (<450 Vdc) on the energy-storage capacitor, this technique is suitable for the universal line voltage applications. The voltage on the energy-storage capacitor is kept within the desirable range by the addition of two transformer windings. The principle of operation of the S/sup 4/ICS circuit with forward DC/DC converter is presented. Experimental results obtained on a 100-W (5-V/20-A) prototype circuit are also given.
Effectiveness of Cooperative Learning (Theme: Limited Natural Resources) to Increase Intention to Save Energy in Students

Some of the natural disaster occurred caused by people using natural resources unwisely. Before analyzing about that behavior, first will be analyzed is behavioral intention. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of cooperative learning group investigation type with the theme of “limited natural resources” to improve intention to save energy. The study used an experimental design Post-test-Only Design With Equivalent Groups, involving 66 people, divided into two groups, each 33 in the experimental group and 33 control group. Process experiments were conducted in a way, dividing the experimental group in 5 small groups, having given the matter of limited natural resources, then each group discussion, and sharing ideas with other groups in the jigsaw. The results showed that there are differences in energy-saving behavior intention significantly between the experimental group (KE) and the control group (KK) with t value of 3.192 with 0.002 significance (p <0.05). Differences KE and KK with a positive t value indicates that the energy-saving behavior intention at KE has a higher value than the families who were not given the manipulation. In general score KE and KK if joined at the high category, but if sorted, KE scores at the high category and score KK in middle category.
