Published: September 2022

The recent wide acceptance of cloud and virtualization technologies has made a number of Internet of Things (IoT) applications practical. Although these technologies are typically useful, they may introduce a high transmission latency in IoT environments, e.g., data fusion in smart cities. To address this issue, fog computing, a distributed decentralized computing layer between IoT hardware and the cloud layer, can be used. To facilitate the use of fog computing in IoT data fusion environments, this paper proposes a new Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization with Firefly based Resource Provisioning Technique (HPSOFF-RPT) model for fog-cloud computing platforms. The HPSOFF-RPT model is designed to optimize resource allocation and distribution in IoT environments. The model uses the PSO and FF algorithms to provision resources in the fog-cloud environment. To evaluate performance, a wide-ranging simulation analysis is performed. The simulation results show that the proposed model improves performance compared to the existing optimization algorithms.
Delayed Diagnosis of Pediatric Sternoclavicular Joint Infections and Clavicular Osteomyelitis During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Report of 3 Cases
Authors: Benson Elizabeth M. , Kothari Ezan A. , Torrez Timothy W. , Conklin Michael J. , Berger Stephanie , Williams Kevin A.
Published: September 2022

Sternoclavicular joint infections and osteomyelitis of the clavicle are extremely rare infections, especially in the pediatric population. Early signs of these infections are nonspecific and can be mistaken for common upper respiratory infections such as COVID-19 and influenza. Rapid diagnosis and treatment are critical for preventing potentially fatal complications such as mediastinitis. We present three cases of sternoclavicular joint infections in the past year during the COVID-19 pandemic. All three patients had delayed diagnoses likely secondary to COVID-19 workup. Each patient underwent surgical irrigation and débridement. Two of three patients required multiple surgeries and prolonged antibiotic courses. Placement of antibiotic-impregnated calcium sulfate beads into the surgical site cleared the infection in all cases where they were used. All three patients made a full recovery; however, the severity of their situations should not be overlooked. Children presenting to the hospital with chest pain, fever, and shortness of breath should not simply be discharged based on a negative COVID-19 test or other viral assays. A higher index of suspicion for bacterial infections such as clavicular osteomyelitis is important. Close attention must be placed on the physical examination to locate potential areas of concentrated pain, erythema, or swelling to prompt advanced imaging if necessary.

Published: September 2022

Background: Bullying, undermining and harassment (BUH) behaviours are present amongst healthcare workers and have detrimental effects on the victim’s well-being and adversely affect patient outcomes. Although it is known that these problems are prevalent within surgery, there are few data on the extent of the issue amongst UK vascular trainees specifically. Methods: The Rouleaux Club (RC), representing UK vascular trainees, has conducted two surveys which were distributed amongst 137 members of the RC between May and July 2017 and 831 between March and April 2021. Data were collected on demographics and personal experiences of BUH behaviours as well as those witnessed by trainees. Comparisons were made between the responses of each survey. Results: The 2017 survey yielded 71 responses and the 2021 survey resulted in 86 responses, with estimated response rates of 51.8% and 10.3%, respectively. In 2017, 33 (47.1%) respondents reported personally experiencing BUH compared with 57 (72.2%) in 2021 (p=0.002). In 2017, seven (20%) reported witnessing BUH compared with 45 (57.7%) four years later. The most frequent perpetrators were vascular consultants (31 (81.6%) in 2017 and 55 (96.5%) in 2021, p= 0.020). BUH behaviours related to gender or sexual orientation increased from affecting two respondents (5%) in 2017 to 18 respondents (28.1%) in 2021 (p=0.004). Conclusions: BUH behaviours are an ongoing problem within UK vascular training. Despite recent attempts to tackle these issues, there is no evidence of improvement and a signal for possible worsening of the problem. There is a need for further research to understand this issue in more detail in order to plan long-lasting interventions that will minimise detriment to individual trainees, protect the reputation of the specialty and maintain the safety of patients and optimal delivery of care.

Violent Extremism
Authors: Harris Emma Jane , Bisset Victoria , Weller Paul
Published: September 2022

The report broaches the difficulties in naming ‘violent extremism’, offering examples of problematic language use and drawing on relevant work in the field of cognitive linguistics. This work reflects the Dialogue Society’s ongoing commitment to encouraging sensitive, reflective and reflexive dialogue. Violent extremism undertaken in the name of religion threatens the basic premises of dialogue. In understanding the causes of this phenomenon, with a view ultimately to tackling them, we must first consider the ways that we communicate about and around the subject. This report aims to show how certain language frames can cause and reinforce major misunderstandings. It explains how terms such as ‘Islamism’ and ‘Islamist’ should not be used without first considering their etymological roots, and that the use of such terms can convey and conflate concepts distinct from their intended meaning. Alternatives are provided to currently used linguistic frameworks that are often used in discussing violent extremism, and commends some alternative narratives and approaches that can contribute to bringing about positive change in relation to this phenomenon. The issue of demands for Muslims to denounce acts of terror is then addressed and shown to be connected to the misuse of linguistic frames and terms. The publication was co-authored by Emma Jane Harris and Victoria Bisset, Research Fellows at the Dialogue Society and Paul Weller, Professor of Inter-Religious Relations at the University of Derby.
40 años de historia: Retos y contribuciones

El orden económico y geopolítico responden a la globalización, el neoliberalismo, el nacionalismo y el neocolonialismo. Una de sus consecuencias son situaciones de desigualdad e injusticia social. Como resultado, se observan diferentes formas de resistencia y activismo sociopolítico en el reclamo de derechos humanos y defensa de la diversidad de género, raza, etnia, religión y clase social, entre otras (Pickren & Teo, 2020). Estos cambios tienen diferentes expresiones en la psicología, entre los que se encuentran la proliferación de especialidades e instituciones de formación, procesos de acreditación y regulación de la profesión mediante legislación y otros mecanismos institucionales y la diversidad teórica y metodológica que hace cada vez más difícil una psicología general. Recientemente, estas tendencias se han confrontado con una psicología crítica que avanza una perspectiva decolonial, que busca un lugar para las psicologías indígenas, la diversidad de género y raza y el activismo en política pública.
En el curso de su historia, la Asociación de Psicología de Puerto Rico (APPR) ha intentado, algunas veces con mayor éxito que otras, abordar los asuntos planteados. La APPR agrupa personas con diversas ideologías políticas y formas de entender la disciplina y el contexto en que se practica. Sin embargo, la organización se ha caracterizado por su apertura al diálogo, el intercambio de ideas y la negociación de acuerdos. La Revista Puertorriqueña de Psicología (reps) ha sido instrumental en ese proceso al haber dado oportunidad a expresiones diversas a través del tiempo. Aunque las transformaciones sociales de los pasados 40 años en el país no siempre se han reconocido explícitamente en editoriales y artículos, los trabajos publicados se insertan en ese contexto histórico. En dicho contexto, también se inscribe el propio desarrollo y profesionalización de la actividad editorial de las revistas de psicología.
La Revista Puertorriqueña de Psicología y la historia de la psicología en Puerto Rico

La historia de la psicología es un campo de investigación nuevo en América Latina, pero está en pleno desarrollo. La Revista Puertorriqueña de Psicología (reps) atestigua este hecho cuando vemos que hay pocos artículos sobre este tema desde su fundación en 1981. Sin embargo, en el 1993-94 se publicó un número especial sobre la historia de la psicología en Puerto Rico con 12 artículos, seguido por una segunda publicación especial en el 2006 con más de 20 artículos. A partir de estos dos números especiales, hay una presencia constante, aunque reducida, de artículos historiográficos. El objetivo de este trabajo fue hacer una investigación ex-post-facto, histórica, en la cual evaluamos todos los artículos (n = 69) sobre historia de la psicología en la reps, a fin de analizar su contenido, distribución de las autorías (n = 54), género y las instituciones de procedencia. Los principales resultados apuntan que hay una concentración de publicaciones historiográficas de un número reducido de autorías y de pocas instituciones de Puerto Rico. En relación al contenido, los temas más frecuentes fueron las categorías “personajes”, “organización profesional” y “enseñanza de Psicología”, lo que sugiere una historiografía involucrada con la institucionalización de la disciplina psicológica.
Familias y parejas: análisis histórico de publicaciones desde la perspectiva del enfoque sistémico relacional

La familia como constructo cultural constituido por valores sociales, está influenciada por momentos e instancias, ideológicas, políticas, socioculturales e históricas. En este artículo presentamos una revisión bibliográfica cualitativa de los trabajos sobre familias y parejas en la Revista Puertorriqueña de Psicología (reps). Nuestro objetivo fue disertar críticamente sobre lo que se ha publicado en la revista en cuanto a temas que abordan las diversas manifestaciones psicológicas en el contexto familiar, sus abordajes sistémicos, y su pertinencia histórica. Revisamos 34 estudios publicados en la reps entre el 1981 y 2020 y evaluamos su contenido cualitativo mediante una síntesis interpretativa crítica para el análisis del contenido en revisiones bibliográficas narrativas. Pudimos ver que las producciones de los artículos de familias y parejas de los últimos 40 años en la reps están vinculados con momentos históricos y socioculturales del país. No obstante, existe una desconexión con la realidad colonial de Puerto Rico y su impacto en las problemáticas familiares y de parejas.
Psicología social comunitaria: A medio siglo de una disciplina indisciplinada
Authors: Vázquez-Rivera Carlos , Rojas-Livia Jacquelinee
Published: September 2022

La psicología social comunitaria (PSC) tuvo una gestación larga y antinatural que ocurrió como parte de la construcción de una disciplina que resistió acomodarse a los moldes establecidos, que restringen a otras disciplinas, en la determinación de un objeto de estudio. En este trabajo analizamos los aportes y contribuciones a la PSC de los artículos publicados en la Revista Puertorriqueña de Psicología (reps) durante el periodo del 1981 al 2020. Utilizamos una revisión sistemática para la selección de los artículos del repositorio de la reps. De esta revisión, obtuvimos 19 manuscritos para el análisis. Según el país de procedencia de los artículos, el 57.9% (11) corresponden a Puerto Rico, y el resto a diferentes países de Latinoamérica. Mientras, según el tipo de documento, el 42.1% fueron de investigación, el 36.8% de reflexión, el 10.5% de revisiones teóricas, y el 10.5% de reseñas históricas. Observamos una diversidad temática en los artículos seleccionados, lo que estimuló el análisis y la discusión. Hay un largo camino por recorrer para comprender el desarrollo de esta disciplina en nuestro país. El eurocentrismo, la colonización y la lucha por la liberación de los pueblos al Sur del mundo siguen jugando un papel clave en su definición.
