Symptoms of anxiety and depression and self-care behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic in the general population

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic can have important psychosocial consequences in the population. Objective: To determine the levels anxiety and depression symptoms and self-care behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic in the general population. Method: Online survey distributed over three weeks using a non-probability sampling. The PHQ-9 Patient Health Questionnaire, the GAD-7 Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale and a self-care behaviors visual analogue scale were used. Between-group (anxiety and depression) descriptive and comparison analyses were carried out. Results: Out of 1508 included participants, 20.8 % had symptoms of severe anxiety, while 27.5 % showed symptoms of severe depression. Being a woman, being single, having no children, having medical comorbidities and a history of mental health care were associated with the presence of higher levels of anxiety and depression symptoms; 66 to 80 % of the population complied with self-care recommendations. A need for receiving mental health care was identified in our study population. Conclusion: A larger num-ber of individuals with moderate to severe anxiety and depression symptoms were observed than in other pandemics. COVID-19 pandemic psychological effects are considered an emerging public mental health problem, and implementation of programs for their care is therefore recommended.
Analysis of MSW Transducer Electrode Design by Use of Weighting Functions

We theoretically analyzed MSW transducer electrode design by use of weighting functions. The method is based on the general equivalent circuit model for the MSW devices we developed and extended earlier. The position of each electrode and the geometrical factor are weighted spatially using a function whose Fourier transform is a square pulse in the k domain. This technique is very effective in the design of an MSW filter with a flat frequency response. The method may be extended to various signal processing applications in the future.
Quasi-Three-Dimensional Aerodynamic Solver for Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of Lifting Surfaces

This paper presents the development of a quasi-three-dimensional aerodynamic solver, which provides accurate results for wing drag comparable to the higher-fidelity aerodynamic solvers at significantly lower computational costs. The proposed solver calculates the viscous wing drag using the combination of a two-dimensional airfoil analysis tool with a vortex lattice code. Validation results show that the results of the quasi-three-dimensional solver are in good agreement with higher-fidelity computational fluid dynamics solvers. The quasi-three-dimensional solver is used for a wing shape multidisciplinary design optimization. A multidisciplinary design optimization problem is formulated to design the wing shape of a typical passenger aircraft. The aircraft maximum takeoff weight is considered as the objective function. Two optimization algorithms, a local and a global optimum finder, are implemented in the multidisciplinary design optimization system. The optimization results indicate that the global opti.

Head Loss in Submerged Drop Structures

A submerged drop structure wherein the drop height is less than the flow depth in the channel is introduced. Fifteen tests were conducted to arrive at a structure which was the most economical to build and was hydraulically acceptable. It is concluded that in cases where numerous drop structures are needed for channel grade control, substantial cost savings can be realized by using shorter and smaller drop structures that are as effective as the larger conventional structures.
Utilization of Routine Health Management Information and Associated Factors among Health Professionals Workingat Public Health Facilities of Hadiya Zone Southern Ethiopia

Background Health management information system is a system that used for routine data collection, analysis and utilization in health system. However, limited study done on routine health management information at individual health professionals level. Hence, the objective of this study was to assess utilization of routine health management information and associated factors among health professionals working at public health facilities of Hadiya Zone Southern Ethiopia. Methods A facility based cross-sectional survey was conducted among health professionals working at public health facilities of Hadia Zone from March 15-30, 2018. Using single population proportion formulae, 477participants were randomly selected. Data were collected by self-administered questioner. The data were entered in to Epi data version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 23 for statistical analysis. Both bivariate (at P<0.25) and multi variable logistics regressions (at P<0.05) were used to identify predictors of utilization. Finally, the findings were presented using graphs, tables, narratives and descriptive numerical summary. Results The finding of this study revealed that utilization of health management information system among health workers was 54.9%. Knowledge [AOR=1.576, 95%CI (1.012, 2.454)], confidence level [AOR=1.873, 95%CI(1.264,2.776)], participation on data aggregation [AOR=2.289, 95% CI (1.293,4.05­)], register their daily data [AOR=2.529, 95% CI(1.023, 6.251)], and complexity of formats [AOR=1.971, 95%CI(1.29,3.011)] were found to be significantly associated with utilization of health information system at 95%confidence level. Conclusion and recommendations The overall health information utilization among health workers was low relative to other literature. Having good knowledge, high confidence level, participation on data aggregation, registering their daily data were independent predictors of information utilization. Therefore, stakeholders at each level should improve capacity of health care providers like providing training and regular mentorship related with information use.
Three-dimensional interferometric inverse synthetic aperture radar imaging with limited pulses by exploiting joint sparsity

For manoeuvring targets, long coherent processing interval observation results in a serious time-varying Doppler modulation that is difficult to achieve high quality three-dimensional (3D) interferometric inverse synthetic aperture radar (InISAR) images. In this study, a novel 3D InISAR imaging algorithm with limited pulses for manoeuvring targets is proposed. First, the authors formulate a joint sparsity-constraint optimisation to reconstruct super-resolution multi-channel inverse synthetic aperture radar images simultaneously. Then, high quality 3D images of the target can be achieved via the conventional interferometry technique. The main advantages of the proposed approach are: (i) by exploiting joint sparsity property of the InISAR multi-channel signals, it can effectively improve the recovery precision of scattering centres of the target; and (ii) it can preserve the cross-channel information, and hence, accurate interferometric phase can be obtained. Both simulated and real data experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
Electroforming and switching effects in yttrium oxide

characteristics in the sense that the OFF-state is low-resistivity, and the ON-state is high-resistivity, while for S-type switching the reverse is true. S-type switching is also often referred to as “CCNR” (current-controlled negative resistance), and N-type – as “VCNR”, i.e. voltage-controlled negative resistance [7]. On the other hand, electronic switching in amorphous thin films showing CCNR is divided into two general types [3, 6]: (a) monostable threshold switching, in which continuous electrical power is required to maintain the highly conducting ON state; and (b) bistable memory switching, in which both ON and OFF states can be maintained without electrical power. In other words, for threshold switching, the OFF-to-ON transition is absolutely reversible and repetitive, whereas for memory switching, a large voltage pulse is usually applied in the erase operation cycle to switch a device from the ON back to OFF state. The same classification is apparently applicable in the case of VCNR as well. It should be noted that the ability of some materials to switch their conductance between two stable states provides the basis for many electronic devices. Therefore, such phenomena as switching or, e.g., metal-insulator transition (MIT) [9] have various potential applications in electronics and related fields of engineering. Negative differential resistance allows the MDM (metal/dielectric/metal) sandwich struc-tures to serve as electronic switches, current-controlled inductances, active elements of generators and amplifiers, logic and memory units, and microsensors [2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11]. For example, the MDM struc-tures demonstrating memory switching have been proposed as potential candidates for both nonvolatile and dynamic random-access memories (DRAM) [3, 11].
Influence of structural capacity uncertainty on seismic reliability of buildings under narrow‐band motions

The influence of parameter uncertainties on the seismic reliability of several structural reinforced concrete buildings is analysed. Drift hazard curves of buildings considering mean values of their material properties and of instantaneous live loads are compared with those considering uncertain values. Influence of uncertainty in the storey drift capacity and, alternatively, in intensity capacity on the structural annual failure rates is evaluated. The structural capacity is estimated by incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). It is shown that for the analysis of structures that ‘soften’ into a peak of their corresponding spectra associated with narrow‐band motions it could be more adequate to use the peak storey drift as a measure of structural capacity, rather than the intensity that causes the failure. The study makes emphasis on the importance of the acceleration spectral shape on the reliability of structures. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Fragility Functions for Modern Reinforced-Concrete Beam-Column Joints

Fragility functions are developed to predict the method of repair required for modern reinforced-concrete beam-column building joints subjected to earthquake loading. These fragility functions, in combination with similar fragility functions developed previously for older joints, are used to compare damage progression in older versus modern joints. To develop fragility functions for modern joints, the results of previous experimental investigations are used to generate empirical relationships between damage and earthquake demand, damage states are linked deterministically with commonly employed methods of repair, and the empirical data are modeled using a standard probability distribution. The demand parameters, damage states, methods of repair, and probability distribution used in the current study are chosen to facilitate comparison with results from the previous study. The results of this study are a family of fragility functions that can be used to predict the method of repair required for a modern joint damaged due to earthquake loading and an improved understanding of the relative vulnerability of older versus modern components.
Getting into Context Early: A Comparative Study of Laboratory and In-Context User Testing of Low-Fidelity Information Appliance Prototypes

ABSTRACT For designers developing information appliances, bringing together the physical and digital elements of a product early in the design process presents a prototyping challenge. Whilst prototyping methods have been developed to address this need, these methods have so far only been evaluated using laboratory-based testing approaches. This paper argues that testing in-context should also be supported by prototyping methods, and presents the findings of a comparative study between a laboratory and in-context user test of early information appliance prototypes. A key question was whether the type of ‘rough and ready’ prototypes frequently found in user laboratory setting might, with some careful development, be suitable for in-context testing. The results of the study show that in-context and laboratory testing of early, ‘rough and ready’ prototypes uncovered different usability problems. In this study, in-context testing of prototypes uncovered problems with physical inputs and product format not seen in the laboratory environment. In contrast, the increased opportunities for spontaneous user reflection during laboratory testing provided insights into user expectations of functionality not seen during in-context testing.
LONG–TERM GRAZING DENSITY IMPACTS ON SOIL COMPACTION

Livestock activity can modify soil properties by degrading soil structure, increasing soil bulk density, and reducing infiltration rate. Impacts of grazing on soil compaction were studied on rangeland in the tall-grass prairie region of Oklahoma. Rotational grazing treatments included low (12.5 cows/ha), medium (25 cows/ha), and high (50 cows/ha) stocking densities with ungrazed pastures used as control sites. Soil compaction was assessed 10 years after grazing treatments were installed using penetration resistance, bulk density, and rate of water infiltration. Long-term livestock grazing increased resistance to penetration and bulk density values, but only in the upper 10 cm. The surface infiltration rate decreased from 28.5 cm/day for the ungrazed treatment to 7 cm/day under light grazing, 5 cm/day under moderate stocking, and 5 cm/day for the heavily grazed treatment. Long-term grazing impacts were restricted to the soil surface, thus increasing the potential soil loss due to erosion. The reduced rainfall infiltration caused by compaction suggests that less water is available for plant use.
Prescribing Pattern and Pharmacist Intervention in Anticoagulation at A Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital, Coimbatore, India

Objective: To assess the prescribing pattern and pharmacist intervention in anti-coagulation at a tertiary care teaching hospital, Coimbatore, India Methodology: Data was gathered utilizing a well-structured data collection structure which includes patient's demographics, clinical data which includes (indication for anticoagulation therapy, wanted INR range, anticipated length of therapy, anticoagulation therapy got), social propensities, past medical history, current prescriptions and the prescribed oral anticoagulant (Warfarin/Acitrom). INR values were observed for the patients remembered for the investigation and dosage adjustment was finished by standard convention dependent on the INR value. The patients were also provided with effective counseling regarding the therapy and dietary modifications. All the patients were monitored for any adverse drug events/effects or any possible drug and food interactions during the study period. In case of any reported adverse events/drug associations in the anticoagulation facility, the legitimate intervention was finished by the clinical pharmacist in relationship with a physician to accomplish objective drug therapy. Result: During our study period, 86 patients were forwarded by the physicians to the clinical pharmacist managing the oral anticoagulation clinic. Only 70 patients could complete the study, where 4 patients did not visit the clinic, other 12 patients did not meet the inclusion criteria and hence they are excluded. The data were collected using data collection form for the study sample. After the interventional study, there was a significant improvement in patients maintaining % of INRs which were in target therapeutic range, % of TTR along with decreased adverse effects. It was also found that the patient’s awareness of the target INR values is correlated with the improved accuracy of anticoagulation control. Hence, our study results reflect the need for a clinical pharmacist in oral anticoagulation management and the necessity of implementing anticoagulation services in various hospital settings. Conclusion: the clinical pharmacist managing anticoagulation service was able to achieve the INRs of the patient in to target therapeutic range by proper and timely dose adjustments based on the INR value, to identify adverse drug reactions/ adverse events, drug-drug interactions, and drug-food interactions and bring about proper interventions by working in association with physicians.

A Vibration Energy Harvester with Internal Impact and Hybrid Transduction Mechanisms

To increase the power harvesting capability of an internal impact type vibration energy harvester (VEH), the authors have developed a novel hybrid VEH integrating both piezoelectric and electromagnetic (EM) modules for energy conversion. The proposed VEH transforms a low frequency external base vibration into an internal impact vibration of the tip of a cantilever beam, which is used to cause energy conversion by the piezoelectric effect and electromagnetic induction. A prototype is designed, fabricated and tested; the optimum load resistances are determined experimentally, and the power output performance and the total power density of the proposed VEH have been experimentally characterized with respect to the excitation amplitude and frequency. The dependence of the optimum excitation frequency for maximum total power output on the excitation amplitude has also been experimentally investigated. The total output power and power density are 0.8 mW and 15 μW/cm, respectively, when the excitation amplitude and frequency are 1 mm (rms) and 15 Hz, respectively.
A dynamic WIP control strategy for bottlenecks in a wafer fabrication system

The performance of a wafer fabrication system is constrained by its bottlenecks, which are difficult to detect and improve due to the complexity within the system. To weaken the negative effects of bottlenecks, a work in process (WIP) strategy is proposed in this paper which focuses on offline target WIP level setting and online WIP control simultaneously. First, bottlenecks are detected and classified based on the constraint weights which are decided by the sensitivity of the system performance to the machine's fluctuant availability. Second, the target WIP level is allocated to the bottlenecks to avoid the process fluctuation caused by unpredictable events. Third, in real time scheduling, the upstream machine of the bottlenecks modifies its dispatching order to adjust the deviation of the WIP levels at the bottlenecks. Finally, a simulation platform is developed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Influence of footwear choice, velocity and surfaces on tibial accelerations experienced by field hockey participants during running

Field hockey is a physically demanding sport, exposing participants to potential overuse injuries linked to high levels of impact shock. This study evaluated the influence of footwear, surface and running velocity on impact shock in field hockey participants. Nine elite university male field hockey participants (age 21 ± 1.69 years, height 175.75 ± 6.56 cm and mass 78.13 ± 12.11 kg) volunteered for this study. A skin-mounted accelerometer was used to measure tibial impact shock during forward running at 3.3 and 5.0 m s−1 on concrete and a field hockey-specific synthetic sports surface (SSS), in a range of shoes (n = 5) typically worn by field hockey participants. A significant effect was found for surface and velocity. No significant differences were found between footwear conditions. The study concluded that reducing running velocity and participating in all field hockey activities on a suitable SSS may reduce the occurrence of injuries linked to impact shock in a field hockey population.
Development an Verification of the Electro-Optical and Software Modules of the Facet Nano Star Sensor

This Thesis report is written for the space community, specially for people interested in the field of nanosatellites, who know how star trackers work, but are unfamiliar with their operations and limitations in an earth observation mission. To introduce users to the topic, this document is primarily concerned with a single aperture star tracker in order to simplify the explanation. The general mission parameters are described and the critical requirements are flowed down to the Attitude Control System and subsequently the star tracker. Various influences on star tracker performance and availability are described, and different subsystems are analyzed in terms of system performance: optics, baffle, image sensor and on-board software. In addition, the verification process was present from the very beginning, including a verification plan and the calibration and validation activities to be performed on ground in the lab and during the commissioning phase. It is shown that a single aperture star tracker is well suited for a very limited set of operating conditions, namely a strictly nadir-pointing earth observation mission, however the flexibility and robustness of the multiple-aperture star tracker is generally required for missions with realistic operational requirements.
