User experience and acceptance of patients and healthy adults testing a personalized self-management app for depression: A non-randomized mixed-methods feasibility study

Objective Previous studies have shown positive treatment outcomes of e-mental health applications targeting depression. However, few applications provide personalized features. The aim of the present study is to ask for the user experience and acceptance of patients with depression and healthy adults, who tested the self-management app Self-administered Psycho Therapy SystemS over a period of 5 days. The results serve as a source for evidence-based recommendations for developers and clinicians. Methods A total of 110 participants (41 patients and 69 healthy controls) tested the app Self-administered Psycho Therapy SystemS over a period of 5 days and completed evaluation sheets developed for the purpose of this study. Quantitative measures were asked with 5-point Likert-scaled items (range: −2 to + 2) for the perceived quality of the programme and its components, its practicality (both referred to as user experience) and its acceptance. Student’s t-tests and Pearson correlations were calculated for group comparisons and associations, respectively. Open text fields were analysed by applying a qualitative structuring content analysis. Results The perceived quality of the total programme was rated with M = 0.96 (SD = 0.82), the practicality was M = 0.84 (SD = 0.08) and the acceptance was M = 0.25 (SD = 1.04). Patients rated perceived quality of the total programme and acceptance higher than healthy adults, while there was no difference in practicality. Acceptance was associated with increased depression scores (r = 0.33, p = .01), higher scores of perceived quality of the total programme (r = 0.48, p< .001) and of practicality (r = 0.45, p < .001). Feedback of both groups regarding usability, therapeutic content and personalization revealed a strong wish for guidance and insights into mood progress, opportunities for choice of interventions and features of customization for individualized treatment. Conclusions Patients with depression accepted the app Self-administered Psycho Therapy SystemS more than healthy adults and gave higher ratings in quality. User experience of all users shows a need for features of guidance, choice and personalization that clinicians and developers of future apps should pay attention to.
The Effect of Toothpastes Containing Hydroxyapatite, Fluoroapatite, and Zn-Mg-hydroxyapatite Nanocrystals on Dentin Hypersensitivity: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of toothpastes containing hydroxyapatite (nHAP), Zn-Mg-hydroxyapatite (nZnMgHAP), and fluorapatite (nFAP) nanocrystals on dentin hypersensitivity (DH) associated with noncarious cervical lesions. Materials and Methods: Thirty consenting volunteers aged 35−45 years with DH were enrolled in a double-blind, parallel study, randomly assigned to the nHAP group (n = 10), the nZnMgHAP group (n = 10), or the nFAP group (n = 10), and instructed to use the toothpaste twice daily for one month. The primary outcome was Schiff scores at baseline and after 2 and 4 weeks. Results: All patients fulfilled the study requirements, and no adverse effects were registered. A reduction in DH was registered in 90%, 100%, and 50% of patients using nHAP, nZnMgHAP, and nFAP-containing toothpastes with effect sizes 2.52 (confidence interval [CI] 95%: 0.82, 4.14), 3.30 (CI 95%: 1.33, 5.20), and 1.44 (CI 95%: 0.09, 2.72), respectively. At 4 weeks, Schiff index scores decreased significantly in all groups compared to baseline. Conclusions: nZnMgHAP may be considered a promising agent for DH management.

Dysthyroid Optic Neuropathy: Treatment with Additional Intravenous Methylprednisolone Pulses after the Basic Schedule Is Associated with Stabilization or Further Improvement of Clinical Outcome

Background: Dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) is a sight-threatening complication of Graves’ orbitopathy (GO). Treatment of DON consists of the urgent administration of intravenous methylprednisolone (ivMP) in very high doses followed by orbital decompression if the response is poor or absent. It is advised to continue the therapy with pulses of ivMP in a weekly schedule. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the additional treatment with ivMP in a 12-week protocol on visual acuity (VA), color vision, clinical activity score (CAS) and proptosis in patients with DON. Methods: This study was performed on 19 patients with DON (26 eyes) treated with ivMP in very high doses, with further orbital decompression in 11 individuals (15 eyes). VA, color vision, CAS and proptosis were evaluated prior to the DON treatment, before and after the 12-week ivMP (first and last pulse). Additionally follow up was performed (22 eyes). Results: VA and color vision improved between the first and last pulse of the additional ivMP treatment (p = 0.04 and p = 0.003, respectively). CAS and proptosis were reduced at the end of the 12-week ivMP therapy compared to observations at the beginning (p < 0.001 and p = 0.04, respectively). Follow up confirmed stabilization of this achievement. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that additional treatment with 12 pulses of ivMP improves or stabilizes the outcome of basic therapy in patients with DON.
Compressed-Domain ECG-based Biometric User Identification Using Task-Driven Dictionary Learning

In recent years, user identification has become crucial for authorized machine access. Electrocardiography (ECG) is a new and rising biometrics signature. Rather than traditional biological traits, ECG cannot be easily imitated. In the long-term monitoring system, the wireless wearable ECG biomedical sensor nodes are resource-limited. Recently, compressive sensing (CS) technology is extensively applied to reduce the power of data transmission and acquisition. The prior CS-based reconstruction process aims at improving energy efficiency with different schemes, and they focus on the performance of reconstruction only. Therefore, we present a sparse coding-based classifier, trained by task-driven dictionary learning (TDDL), to realize low-complexity user identification in compressed-domain directly. TDDL is one of the dictionary learning and designed for classification tasks. It co-optimizes the dictionary and classifier weighting simultaneously, which gives better accuracy. In this article, we are proposing a TDDL-based compression learning algorithm for ECG biometric user identification as this directly identifies user identity (ID) without undergoing reconstruction process and conventional classifier. It can extract necessary information from the compressed-ECG signal directly to save the system power and computational complexity. The algorithm has 2%–10% accuracy improvements compared with state-of-the-art algorithms and maintains low complexity at the same time. Our proposed TDDL-CL will be the better choice in the long-term wearable ECG biometric devices.

Conservation principles: policies and guidance for the sustainable management of the historic environment

The sustainable management of the historic environment depends on sound principles, clear policies and guidance based on those principles, and the quality of decisions that stem from their consistent application. A need is seen for a clear, over-arching philosophical framework of what conservation means at the beginning of the 21st century; and to distil current good practice in casework, given the impending reform of legislation and the need for more integrated practice. These Principles, Policies and Guidance for the sustainable management of the historic environment have been developed through extensive debate and consultation, both within English Heritage and with colleagues in the historic environment sector and beyond. The main purpose in producing the Principles, Policies and Guidance is to strengthethe credibility and consistency of decisions taken and advice given by English Heritage staff, improving accountability by setting out the framework within which judgements on casework are to be made. Success will also be measured by the extent to which this document is taken up more widely in the sector. Over time, and in conjunction with legislative reform and improving capacity in the sector, it is hoped that the document will help to create a progressive framework for managing change in the historic environment that is clear in purpose and sustainable in its application: constructive conservation.
Deployment of DNSSEC in the Root Zone: Impact Analysis

We look at three key areas: changes in reply sizes from the root servers, potential signs of path MTU issues for DNS clients, and changes in TCP query rates to the root servers.
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF FACTORS INFLUENTIAL FOR THE FLEXIBLE BLADE BASED PROTOTYPING PROCESS

Due to the need for large numbers of layers and size limitations, current layered manufacturing technologies are not suitable for the fabrication of large sized free-form objects. For this purpose a novel technology of thick layered object manufacturing is being developed, based on higher order approximation of the initial geometry, and the application of a flexible curved cutting tool. The method allows us to produce physical prototypes with less or without any finishing. The technology of cutting foams by means of a heated flexible blade in polystyrene foam offers new possibilities. However to achieve the optimum output, optimization of the process parameters is needed. In this paper a closer look is taken into the process characteristics and the influential factors which are decisive for productive cutting. The authors summarize the results of the executed experimental tests. In these experiments the values of the most influential parameters were systematically changed and the effects were carefully investigated. The first results indicate that the cutting technology is practically feasible, but further research is needed in order to achieve a balanced optimization of the technology from all aspects.
Hungarian forint FX swap spreads during and beyond crisis times

Incentivised by a wide range of research discussing mispricing in USD related swap markets, the paper aims at discovering the factors contributing to the deviation of the 3-month FX swap points in the EURHUF and USDHUF market from their CIP based values primarily between the period January 2008 and December 2018 and with an extension to the end of 2021 using daily and monthly Bloomberg quotes. The period examined can be divided into three plus one subperiods as concerns FX swap spreads, largely determined by the effects of the global financial crisis and the volume of FX loans. Apart from the most important classes of variables explaining FX swap spreads, counterparty, funding and market liquidity risk indicators, the literature identifies, policy variables were also involved in the analysis. During and in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis, the MNB applied various kinds of FX swap tenders to ease FX liquidity tensions in the Hungarian interbank market, and continued providing such operations even after the conversion of household FX loans to domestic currency. The results of VARX estimations suggest that indicators of market and liquidity tension, counterparty risk mostly positively contributed to the widening of FX swap spreads, in addition, policy intervention had a spread dampening impact throughout most of the period. The paper confirms that central bank FX swap market participation can mitigate mispricing especially in turbulent times.
Effectiveness of food concentrate phenolic compounds of apples in experimental membrane pathologies

Apple fruits are an available source of phenolic compounds that exhibit a wide range of biological activities (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, membrane stabilizing, etc.). The antioxidant properties of food concentrate phenolic compounds of apples (Concentrate) were studied in vitro in models of spontaneous and ascorbate induced lipid peroxidation (LPO) in rat liver homogenate, and acute carbon tetrachloromethane hepatitis was chosen as in vivo model in rats. Membrane stabilizing activity was evaluated by the degree of hemolysis in blood samples from the tail vein. The effect of Concentrate on vascular permeability was studied considering the time of animal skin papules staining at the site of injection of phlogogenic substances. Hepatoprotective activity in the model of acute carbon tetrachloride hepatitis was assessed by changes in prooxidant-antioxidant status in liver homogenate and liver enzymes activity in serum. Significant antioxidant effect of Concentrate was fixed in models of spontaneous and ascorbate induced LPO (TBA reactants’ content was 3.12 times and 2.25 times lower than control for spontaneous LPO and ascorbate induced LPO, respectively) and under tetrachloride hepatitis (Concentrate antioxidant activity was 47.8%). The membrane-protective activity of the studied Concentrate was also high and reached 50.1%. Also, Concentrate demonstrated capillary-strengthening properties, reducing the permeability of the vascular wall, which was caused by three different chlorogens, most notably by zymosan (Concentrate significantly delayed the stain utilization from the bloodstream by 2.14 times compared to control). Newly developed concentrate showed complex hepatoprotective activity, improving the indices of antioxidant-prooxidant status and activity of liver cytolysis enzymes in rats with tetrachloromethane hepatitis. The transparent corrective effects of Concentrate are the result of synergism and additivity of its multiple components and indicate the prospects of its further research in order to develop medications for the prophylaxis and treatment of diseases associated with membrane damage.
Fraud in Online Surveys: Evidence from a Nonprobability, Subpopulation Sample

Abstract We hired a well-known market research firm whose surveys have been published in leading political science journals, including JEPS. Based on a set of rigorous “screeners,” we detected what appears to be exceedingly high rates of identity falsification: over 81 percent of respondents seemed to misrepresent their credentials to gain access to the survey and earn compensation. Similarly high rates of presumptive character falsification were present in panels from multiple sub-vendors procured by the firm. Moreover, we found additional, serious irregularities embedded in the data, including evidence of respondents using deliberate strategies to detect and circumvent one of our screeners, as well as pervasive, observable patterns reflecting that the survey had been taken repeatedly by a respondent or collection of respondents. This evidence offers reasons to be concerned about the quality of online nonprobability, subpopulation samples, and calls for further, systematic research.
On the interaction between moist convection and large-scale ascent in the tropics

A simple steady-state model is constructed for the interaction between moist convection and large-scale ascent in the tropics. The model is based on a bulk-plume representation of convection, and it is coupled to the large-scale circulation using methods developed for limited-area numerical models that are consistent with the weak temperature gradient approximation. Given the mid-tropospheric temperature anomaly in the ascent region, the model solves for the profiles of temperature, relative humidity, and large-scale vertical velocity in this region, as well as the tropical-mean profiles of temperature and relative humidity, as a function of two parameters representing the importance of entrainment and condensate reevaporation in moist convection. According to the simple model, the ascent region is characterized by an anomalously moist and stable free troposphere with a top-heavy vertical velocity profile that peaks in the upper troposphere. These results are shown to be consistent with simulations using a cloud-system resolving model in which the large-scale circulation is parameterized. Furthermore, it is shown that, due to the effect of entrainment on the tropospheric lapse rate, the predicted vertical velocity profile is more top heavy than the first-baroclinic mode profile used in previous reduced-complexity models of tropical dynamics. The simple model therefore provides a framework to link mixing and microphysical processes in moist convection to the large-scale structure of the tropical overturning circulation.
Low-Profile High-Gain Endfire Antenna With Circular Polarization

A circularly-polarized (CP) traveling-wave endfire antenna featuring low profile, high gain, and simple feeding structure is presented in this communication. Offset parallel strips with proper dielectric loading are employed in a low-profile substrate to achieve two orthogonal electric field components with equal magnitude and 90° phase difference for CP endfire radiation. Meanwhile, periodic phase-loading technique is used to achieve a proper phase constant for high endfire gain. A prototype is designed and fabricated to verify the proposed method. Experimental results demonstrate CP endfire radiation within a frequency band of 9.78–10.09 GHz. The average endfire gain is 10.3 dBic with an average efficiency of 62.5%.

Demand forecasting for new local rail stations and services

Passenger rail services in Britain are undergoing something of a revival. Since 1970 about 200 new stations have been opened on publicly owned railways in Britain, and British Rail (BR) have developed a number of new services. Before a new service or a new station can be evaluated a key question has to be posed: how many people will use it? An immediate problem is that BR's usual approach to demand forecasting is not suitable for predicting the effects of non-marginal changes in levels of service at a local level. This is discussed in section 2. So the Institute for Transport Studies at Leeds University has been working since 1982 on the development of suitable forecasting approaches. In the course of this work a variety of approaches have been developed and tested. These include a simple Trip Rate Model (TRM), a direct demand model that we have entitled an Aggregate Simultaneous Model (ASM), and a disaggregate Mode Choice Model (MCM). These models are all based on actual behaviour/choices (that is, Revealed Preference (RP) data) ; they are discussed in section 3. An alternative approach is based on asking people directly how often they would use a new facility. This is termed the Stated Inten tions (SI) approach. It is well known that this, if applied without adjustment, is likely to lead to overestimates of usage. A Stated Preference (SP) experiment has been devised in order to correct for this bias. This SI/SP approach is discussed in section 4.
