Authors: Odom Krista J , Ottosson Amanda , Draru Joyce , Komujuni Harriet , Karamagi Nkolo Esther Karungi , Faramand Taroub Harb
Published: March 2022

Background

In collaboration with facilities, communities, district local government, and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) implementing partners, the iDARE methodology was implemented at the community level to address root causes of low HIV antiretroviral therapy adherence among men and children actively enrolled in care, resulting in low viral load suppression (VLS) in two districts in the eastern region of Uganda. The methodology encourages the use of cocreated sustainable solutions addressing gender, youth, and social inclusion issues to reduce barriers to care and reach the 95-95-95 Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS target for HIV epidemic control. We aim to measure the impact of iDARE on VLS for men and children active in care and investigate the practical scale up of the solutions designed using the iDARE methodology.

Objective

The primary objective of this study will be to measure the implementation impact of the iDARE methodology at the facility and community levels on VLS for people living with HIV. The secondary objective is to investigate the practical scale up of the iDARE methodology using evidence-based gender, youth, and social inclusion social behavior change packages to rapidly meet the Ugandan Ministry of Health targets for VLS.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study design will be used to analyze program data that aims to increase the rates of VLS in men and children who are classified as active in care using community engagement and quality improvement techniques. We will examine 3 pilot health centers’ data from a USAID-funded program aimed at social behavior change to increase health-seeking behavior in Uganda. Based on the iDARE process and results, change packages were developed to highlight lessons learned and best practices in order to share with subsequent implementation sites.

Results

The USAID-funded Social and Behavior Change Activity began implementation of iDARE in September 2020, with baseline data collected in August 2020.

Conclusions

Data on viral load suppression was collected from facilities on a monthly basis to record progress toward the 95-95-95 goal. The expected primary outcome is an increase in actively enrolled men and children reaching VLS in order to meet the Ugandan Ministry of Health target of 95% VLS among those active in care.

Comparing Reminders Sent via SMS Text Messaging and Email for Improving Adherence to an Electronic Health Program: Randomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Kulhánek Adam , Lukavska Katerina , Gabrhelík Roman , Novák Daniel , Burda Václav , Prokop Jindřich , Holter Marianne T S , Brendryen Håvar
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND

eHealth interventions can help people change behavior (eg, quit smoking). Reminders sent via SMS text messaging or email may improve the adherence to web-based programs and increase the probability of successful behavior change; however, it is unclear whether their efficiency is affected by the modality of the communication channel.

OBJECTIVE

A 2-armed randomized control trial was conducted to compare the effect of providing reminders via SMS text messaging versus email on the adherence to an eHealth program for smoking cessation and on the probability to initiate a quit attempt.

METHODS

Smokers were recruited via an internet-based advertisement. A total of 591 participants who diverted from intended use of the program (ie, failed to log on to a session) were automatically randomized to the experimental (SMS text messaging reminder, n=304) or the active comparator (email reminder, n=287) group.

RESULTS

Unexpectedly, we found that the mode of reminder delivery did not significantly affect either the adherence, namely the number of completed program sessions, with the SMS text messaging reminder group showing a mean of 4.30 (SD 3.24) and the email reminder group showing a mean of 4.36 (SD 3.27) (t586=0.197, P=.84, and Cohen d=0.016), or the outcome, namely the quit smoking attempt rate (34.2% in the SMS text messaging group vs 31.7% in the email group; χ21=0.4, P=.52). Secondary analyses showed that age, gender, and education had significant effects on program adherence and education on the outcome. Moreover, we found a significant interaction effect between the mode of reminder delivery and gender on program adherence, suggesting that the effectiveness of SMS text message reminders might be different for females and males. However, this particular finding should be treated with care as it was based on post hoc subgroup analysis.

CONCLUSIONS

This study indicates that the modality of user reminders to log on increased neither the program adherence nor the probability of quitting smoking. This suggests that program developers may save costs using emails instead of SMS text messaging reminders.

A new method for accurate calculation of case fatality rate during a pandemic (Preprint)
Authors: Feng Jinqi , Luo Hui , Wu Yi , Zhou Qian , Qi Rui
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND

In course of an epidemic of a potentially fatal disease, it is difficult to well estimate the case fatality rate (CFR).

OBJECTIVE

Taking the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) as an example, this study aims to develop a new method for CFR calculation while a pandemic is ongoing.

METHODS

We developed a new method for CFR calculation, which was based on the formula: the number of deaths divided by the number of cases T days before, where T is an average delay between case confirmation and disease outcome. In this study, T was screened from a series of hypothesized values. Objective law was found from simulated data that if a hypothesized T was equal to the true T, calculated real-time CFRs kept constant; If a hypothesized T was greater (or smaller) than the true T, real-time CFRs would infinitely decrease (or increase) to near the true CFR with the days went on.

RESULTS

Based on the discovered law, it was estimated that the true CFR of COVID-19 at the initial stage of pandemic in China except Hubei Province was 0.8%; Hubei Province was 6.6%. The calculated CFRs had predicted the death numbers with almost complete accuracy.

CONCLUSIONS

The method could be used for accurate calculation of the true CFR during a pandemic instead of waiting till the end, no matter the pandemic was under control or not. It could help outbreak-controller indirectly to have a clear vision in the timeliness of the case confirmation.

Metodología: es un estudio exploratorio que utiliza la combinación de los enfoques cualitativo y cuantitativo. Resultados: se encontró que la mayoría de los agricultores son personas responsables, aversos al riesgo, que conocen su negocio y que prefieren permanecer sin cambio, lo cual provoca que su elección no sea la mejor. Limitaciones: no se conoce el número de agricultores de Sinaloa y sus municipios debido a la dificultad de acceso a datos precisos, recientes y oficiales. Valor: ofrecer un primer acercamiento a la influencia de sesgos conductuales en la decisión de producción. Conclusiones: conocer la incidencia de sesgos será útil para el agricultor a la hora de decidir sobre qué producir. Así, los resultados pueden ser de utilidad en la formulación de políticas gubernamentales orientadas a apoyar la agricultura.

Alfredo López Austin y Luis Millones. Los mitos y sus tiempos, creencias y narraciones de Mesoamérica y los Andes. México: ERA, 2015; 399 pp.
Authors: Estrada Hernández Daniel
Published: March 2022

En un gran esfuerzo por entender el pasado prehispánico y las coincidencias que existen entre las dos macroregiones culturales de América, Mesoamérica y Los Andes, los autores explican de manera clara y concisa las características más importantes de la cosmovisión de la región que les compete. Así, el libro está dividido en dos temas principales: Mesoamérica y Los Andes. Estos a su vez se dividen en varios subtemas que son esenciales: el origen del mundo, el origen de los animales y las plantas, y el origen del hombre y su papel en la tierra. Mientras en Mesoamérica se realizó una recopilación a gran escala de la historia y la cultura de los pueblos indígenas -y en la actualidad la tradición oral confluye a la reconstrucción y al entendimiento de la cosmovisión prehispánica-, en Los Andes ocurrió lo contrario. La persecución de los indígenas y el poco interés por resguardar las tradiciones antiguas dificultan en gran medida la reconstrucción de la historia precolombina de Los Andes y, así mismo, su comparación y completo entendimiento. Al respecto nos dice Millones que “[…] aún estamos lejos de poder trazar un cuadro sólido que permita la comparación de la historia y las religiones de Mesoamérica y Los Andes. Pero la obligación persiste, dado que iluminaría una mejor comprensión de las sociedades de ambos subcontinentes”.

Authors: Ortega Medina Eréndira Alejandra
Published: March 2022

Gracias a su modo de transmisión, la literatura de tradición oral permite que varios de sus elementos se actualicen y se retomen en espacios, tiempos y géneros diversos. Entre estos elementos se encuentran los personajes de su narrativa, y es sobre ellos que se reflexiona en este libro editado por Claudia Carranza Vera y Mercedes Zavala Gómez del Campo. La obra se compone de diecinueve artículos escritos por investigadores de diferentes instituciones, todos ellos interesados en el estudio de las formas narrativas tradicionales. A partir de las características de los personajes analizados, las editoras los clasificaron en las siguientes categorías: personajes de tipo social, personajes pertenecientes al grupo de la familia y del parentesco, personajes que proceden de la tradición judeocristiana, seres sobrenaturales, y los personajes pertenecientes a un acervo predominantemente indígena. En la nota preliminar las editoras mencionan que este producto se inscribe en el reciente interés por sistematizar el trabajo sobre la literatura tradicional en México, reuniendo “perspectivas, capacidades y particularidades” de los investigadores que se interesan por esta disciplina. Los trabajos reunidos nos permiten observar cómo las narraciones populares, desde la conquista y hasta aquellas que se cuentan en épocas recientes, comparten características que se combinan para conformar a los personajes.
El estudio y la documentación de cuatro carnavales zoques en Chiapas, México: posibles respuestas ante los contextos de complejidad entre el ser patrimonio y el realizar antropología
Authors: Newell Gillian Elizabeth
Published: March 2022

Poco se han examinado las micro diferencias que existen entre el documentar patrimonio y el quehacer antropológico; menos contempladas son las razones, estrategias y consecuencias de la aplicación de un marco patrimonial o de un marco antropológico a las manifestaciones culturales que se encuentran hoy, irremediablemente, en un contexto poscolonizado o, como ya algunos quieren empezar a ver, en proceso de decolonización (Domínguez Rueda, 2013; Smith Tuhiwai, 1999). Desde un proyecto de investigación activo sobre cuatro carnavales zoques en Chiapas, nosotros preguntamos: ¿qué son los carnavales zoques en Chiapas y cómo es que se deben estudiar, explicar y representar para la diversidad de públicos interesados que existen en México? En este escrito se analiza qué lecciones útiles nos ofrecen los cuatro carnavales zoques y el proyecto que los investiga acerca de la inclusión, la dignidad, el respeto y la felicidad, para co-construir, analizar y representar de manera decolonizada, ecuánime y resiliente un mundo en donde quepamos todos.

Psychological Aspects of the Organization’s Information Security in the Context of Socio-engineering Attacks
Authors: Tulupieva T. V.
Published: March 2022

The purposeof this review article is to determine approaches to solving existing problems in taking into account the psychological aspects of an organization’s information security in the context of socio-engineering attacks based on the analysis and systematization of sources on this topic.

Methods.To achieve this goal, two complementary directions were chosen. The first direction included the investigation of selected specialized journals. The second direction involved the analysis of the representation of this problem in the Scopus database over the past 20 years.

Results.The analysis of the psychological aspects of the key elements of a socio-engineering attack is carried out: the knowledge and skills of the attacker, organizational conditions, the characteristics of an employee who is part of information systems and the direction of training and prevention. A model of socio-engineering attack considering psychological aspects is proposed.

Conclusions.The study showed that the approaches developed now are sufficient to form the basis for the revision of personnel processes in the organization. The problem of social engineering attacks cannot be solved without the involvement of HR services in terms of changing HR processes, taking into account information security policies. The results of this study will be of interest to specialists in the field of personnel management, personnel training, information security, information technology, artificial intelligence, executives, business owners, heads of state and municipal bodies.
Crop protection market segmentation: relationship between buyer segments and the use of digital sales channels
Authors: Schwering Dorothee Schulze , Hollenbeck Anna , Krone Saskia , Spiller Achim , Lemken Dominic
Published: March 2022

Digital technologies are revolutionizing agricultural trade, enabling farm input suppliers to reach customers through multiple channels. The aim of this study was to segment farmers based on their purchasing behavior for crop protection products and to examine segment-specific characteristics in the digital environment. A cluster analysis of 590 German farm managers was used to identify five distinctive buyer segments based on five characteristics: dealer, brand and service orientation, price affinity and autonomous decision making. The results demonstrate that farmers place high value on personal contacts to stationary suppliers when purchasing crop protection products. Service orientation turned out to be a strong mediator of segment membership, while price and product brand are secondary to farmer segmentation. However, traditional typologies are only suitable for the digitization topic to a limited extent, as digital search and information behavior hardly differs. Even though digital information procurement is becoming increasingly interesting for all segments, an openness to e-commerce applies only to a small group of independent buyers. Concerning e-commerce attitudes, the perception of its advantages and the lack of personal contact differentiates the clusters the most. The results contribute to the scientific understanding of farmers’ information and purchasing behavior and provide initial approaches for the development of customer-centric corporate marketing strategies.
Changes in the Shortage and Quality of Family Medicine Clinical Training Sites
Authors: Theobald Mary , Everard Kelly  M. , Morley Christopher P.
Published: March 2022

Background and Objectives: This study examined changes over time in the shortage and quality of clinical training sites for students. The surveys provided baseline and milestone measurements for the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine’s (STFM) Preceptor Expansion Initiative.
Methods: Data were gathered in 2016 and again in 2020, through the Council of Academic Family Medicine’s (CAFM) Educational Research Alliance (CERA) survey of family medicine clerkship directors. Clerkship directors answered questions concerning number of students requiring placement, number of precepting sites used, frequency of negative comments about family medicine as a specialty, and about opportunities for students to experience comprehensive care, patient-centered care, and document in electronic health records.
Results: The number of students who annually required placement at family medicine preceptor sites increased slightly from 2016 to 2020, but the number of sites utilized per family medicine department did not. There were no changes in the percentage of sites having Patient-Centered Medical Home or similar recognition or providing comprehensive care with or without obstetrics. However, more students were allowed to enter data and write patient encounter notes in 2020 than in 2016.
Conclusions: Clerkship directors continue to struggle to find high-quality family medicine training sites for students. STFM’s Preceptor Expansion Initiative has made strides to help students become active, productive members of care teams, to reduce the administrative burden of teaching, and to promote the precepting of multiple students at once.1 These efforts to incentivize precepting are ongoing, but won’t be enough to compensate for the rapid growth in the number of students and the increasing demands on physicians for high-volume patient care.
Characterizing sustainability aesthetics of buildings and environments: methodological frame and pilot application to the hybrid environments
Authors: Daugelaite Aurelija , Dogan Huriye Armagan , Grazuleviciute-Vileniske Indre
Published: March 2022

Growing environmental awareness and emerging design and performance requirements related with the implementation of sustainability goals inevitably have an influence on construction, architecture, urban design and the development of our built environment in general. This influence is reflected both in the increasingly efficient ecological performance of built structures and the growing array of related technologies, and in the aesthetic expression of these environmentally conscious designs. The aesthetic expression of sustainability concept and values is sometimes referred to as sustainability aesthetics. The aim of this research is to develop and test a methodological framework for characterizing the sustainability aesthetics of the built environments. The elaborated methodological framework integrates biophilic design, sustainability aesthetics, regenerative design and genius loci as the most promising approaches, allowing the integration of human and environmental concerns. To test the framework, we selected historic built environments that reflect long-lasting sustainable co-existence between humans and their environment and represent hybrid characteristics of both architectural and urban space. One of the purposes selecting these environments for the case study was to determine the features of an organically evolved sustainability aesthetics that could become a valuable source of inspiration for architectural design and management of the built environments.

A Theoretical Study on the Cell Differentiation Forming Stem Cells in Higher Animals
Authors: J Otsuka
Published: March 2022

The recent genome sequencing of multicellular diploid eukaryotes reveals an enlarged repertoire of protein genes for signal transmission but it is still difficult to elucidate the network of signal transmission to drive the life cycle of such an eukaryote only from biochemical and genetic studies. In the present paper, a theoretical study is carried out for the cell differentiation, the formation of stem cells and the growth from a child to the adult in the higher animal. With the intercellular and intracellular signal transmission in mind, the cell differentiation is theoretically derived from the process by the transition of proliferated cells from proliferation mode to differentiation mode and by both the long-range interaction between distinctive types of cells and the short-range interaction between the same types of cells. As the hierarchy of cell differentiation is advanced, the original types of self-reproducible cells are replaced by the self-reproducible cells returned from the cells differentiated already. The latter type of self-reproducible cells are marked with the signal specific to the preceding differentiation and become the stem cells for the next stage of cell differentiation. This situation is realized under the condition that the differentiation of cells occurs immediately after their proliferation in the development. The presence of stem cells in the respective lineages of differentiated cells strongly suggests another signal transmission for the growth of a child to a definite size of adult that the proliferation of stem cells in one lineage is activated by the signal from the differentiated cells in the other lineage(s) and is suppressed by the signal from the differentiated cells in its own lineage. This style of signal transmission also explains the metamorphosis and maturation of germ cells in higher animals.
THE EFFECT OF METHYL EUGENOL FROM Ocimum minimum ON THE STICKY TRAP TO THE DIRECTION AND DAILY ACTIVITY OF FRUIT FLIES (Bactrocera spp.)
Authors: Kardinan Agus , Maris Paramita
Published: March 2022

The fruit fly Bactrocera spp. is a major pest in the horticulture. It caused several important commodities to rot and fall which lead into large loss, or even crop failure. The research objective was to obtain information regarding the activity of fruit fly during night and day and the most attractive direction of sticky trap to trap the fruit flies. The research consisted of 3 activities, namely (1) analysis of active ingredient of Ocimum plant, (2) study on the effect of ocimum sticky traps on the direction of fruit flies, and (3) study on the effect ocimum sticky traps on the daily activity of fruit flies. The study on the effect of time and direction of trap consisted of 4 treatments (North, South, East and West) and 6 replications. A sticky trap contained methyl eugenol as active ingredient, smeared on a yellow plastic surface measuring 10 × 20 cm and attached to 2 m high wooden poles, each facing East and West, as well as North and South (as opposed to one wood). Observations were made every hour starting from 03:00 am to 07:00 pm (until there was no fruit flies get trapped in each treatment). The results showed that sticky trap used contain Ocimum oil containing 76% of methyl eugenol used as an attractant for fruit flies. Fruit flies active during the day where the highest/peak activity of the fruit flies population occured at around 07:00 am. The direction of trap to East and West catched more fruit flies number than to North and South.
D8.4 Report on dissemination activities
Authors: Soriano C. , Rossi R.
Published: March 2022

In Deliverable D8.1 (M18) we presented a first version of the Dissemination Plan for the ExaQUte project. The present document, prepared during the 2nd (and last) review period of the project, represents the updated version of the Dissemination Plan of ExaQUte, and therefore builds on the aforementioned deliverable. This document, thus, focuses on the new activities that have been undertaken from M18 to M42 regarding the dissemination activities. It should be mentioned that the pandemic situation that started in Mach 2020 (actually, in Spain we were sent to confine to our houses the day after the celebration of the First Review meeting of this project) has had an impact in our life, and in our project, particularly in the dissemination actions. The lockdown made impossible most of the activities related to dissemination (travels, conferences, consortium meetings…). But we reinvented our work and found different ways to do things and fulfil pour obligations.

We study the use of multi-level Monte Carlo methods for wind engineering. This report brings together methodological research on uncertainty quantification and work on target applications of the ExaQUte project in wind and civil engineering. First, a multi-level Monte Carlo for the estimation of the conditional value at risk and an adaptive algorithm are presented. Their reliability and performance are shown on the time-average of a non-linear oscillator and on the lift coefficient of an airfoil, with both preset and adaptively refined meshes. Then, we propose an adaptive multi-fidelity Monte Carlo algorithm for turbulent fluid flows where multilevel Monte Carlo methods were found to be inefficient. Its efficiency is studied and demonstrated on the benchmark problem of quantifying the uncertainty on the drag force of a tall building under random turbulent wind conditions. All numerical experiments showcase the open-source software stack of the ExaQUte project for large-scale computing in a distributed environment.

Model pembelajaran berbasis masalah adalah model pembelajaran berbasis penyelidikan yang berpusat pada peserta didik, di mana mereka terlibat dengan masalah yang otentik dan tidak terstruktur yang memerlukan penelitian lebih lanjut. Model pembelajaran berbasis masalah juga merupakan salah satu model yang mendukung pembelajaran pada abad 21, dimana pembelajaran abad ke 21 memerlukan penerapan instruksi yang memungkinkan peserta didik untuk mengaplikasikan materi pelajaran, mengambil kepemilikan pembelajaran mereka, menggunakan teknologi secara berarti, dan berkolaborasi. Berpikir kreatif merupakan kemampuan dasar dari kecerdasan manusia, yaitu kemampuan dan pengalaman individu dalam berpikir, berkomunikasi dan melihat dirinya sendiri secara alami melalui kata-kata, visual, dan audio. Kemampuan dan pengalaman tersebut diperoleh dari interaksi sosial dan refleksi pribadi.
