How Does the Shrimp Farmer Respond to The Threat of Climate Change?
Authors: Fatahullah  , Toiba Hery , Sujarwo
Published: December 2024

This research investigated how shrimp farmers perceive climate change and what factors influence their decision to implement adaptation strategies. Surveys were conducted with 150 households in Tambakan, Kalianyar, Raci 1, and Raci 2. Over the past five years, information about climate change has primarily reached farmers through radio and television (54%). The majority (96.21%) perceived climate change as manifested by altered rainfall patterns, rising pond water temperatures (98.71%), declining production yields (95.41%), and an increase in shrimp pests and diseases (96.23%). The researchers classified climate change adaptation strategies into four categories and used logit regression analysis to identify factors influencing their adoption. They found that the determinants of adoption varied across these categories. Based on these findings, the study concludes that raising awareness about the impact of climate change on shrimp farming is crucial for farmers to choose suitable adaptation strategies. Additionally, strengthening institutional support through improved access to association borrowing, markets, extension services, farm group activities, and use of climate-resistant shrimp varieties can contribute to increased farm production.

Children’s Pictures in Research Practices across Academic Disciplines
Authors: Sjöberg Johanna
Published: December 2024

With the aim of exploring how children’s pictures are made relevant and given meaning in research, this article analyses how children’s pictures are used, discussed, and studied across different academic disciplines. Altogether, 423 articles published between 2010 and 2023 were thematically analysed. Four themes were identified that run through the research: Health and wellbeing, Competence and the mind, Education, and Agency and opinions. Each have strong connections to academic disciplines but are not simply defined by them. They are connected to specific perspectives on children’s pictures, as well as specific notions of children. The study shows that very few studies focus on children’s pictures per se, or analyse them solely for artistic reasons. Instead, children’s pictures are often included in research with the purpose of making claims that extend beyond the pictures themselves, and beyond picture-making processes.

Authors: Da Silva Tamyris Caroline , Zimer Tânia Teresinha Bruns
Published: December 2024

Este estudo qualitativo tem como objetivo explorar as perspectivas de crianças do 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública do município de Curitiba-Paraná, Brasil sobre a articulação entre o brincar e a Matemática. A pesquisa fundamenta-se na análise de desenhos e fotografias realizadas pelas crianças, que refletem suas experiências em sala de aula e sua conexão com conceitos matemáticos. As informações obtidas por meio de observações, desenhos, registros fotográficos e diálogos com as participantes revelam que, embora as crianças sejam capazes de associar a Matemática ao brincar e aos respectivos espaços, suas representações de aulas de Matemática ainda se baseiam em práticas tradicionais, distantes da ludicidade. Essa lacuna indica a necessidade de uma articulação mais eficaz entre o brincar e o ensino da Matemática, visando tornar o aprendizado mais significativo e engajador para as crianças.

Authors: Alexander Adam , Businelle Michael , Cheney Marshall , Cohn Amy , McNeill Lorna , Short Kevin , Frank-Pearce Summer , Bradley David , Estrada Kimberly , Flores Iván , Fronheiser Jack , Kendzor Darla
Published: December 2024

Background

Black adults in the United States experience disproportionately high rates of tobacco- and obesity-related diseases, driven in part by disparities in smoking cessation and physical activity. Smartphone-based interventions with financial incentives offer a scalable solution to address these health disparities.

Objective

This study aims to assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a mobile health intervention that provides financial incentives for smoking cessation and physical activity among Black adults.

Methods

A total of 60 Black adults who smoke (≥5 cigarettes/d) and are insufficiently physically active (engaging in <150 min of weekly moderate-intensity physical activity) will be randomly assigned to either HealthyCells intervention (incentives for smoking abstinence only) or HealthyCells+ intervention (incentives for both smoking abstinence and daily step counts). Participants will use study-provided smartphones, smartwatches, and carbon monoxide monitors for 9 weeks (1 wk prequit date through 8 wk postquit date). Feasibility will be evaluated based on recruitment rates, retention, and engagement. The primary outcomes include carbon monoxide–verified, 7-day smoking abstinence at 8 weeks postquit date and changes in average daily step count. Feasibility benchmarks include a recruitment rate of ≥5 participants per month, a retention rate of ≥75%, and a smoking abstinence rate of ≥20% at 8 weeks postquit date. Expected increases in physical activity include a net gain of 500 to 1500 steps per day compared to baseline.

Results

Recruitment is expected to begin in February 2025 and conclude by September 2025, with data analysis completed by October 2025.

Conclusions

This study will evaluate the feasibility of a culturally tailored mobile health intervention combining financial incentives for smoking cessation and physical activity promotion. Findings will inform the design of larger-scale trials to address health disparities through scalable, technology-based approaches.

Improving Social Media-Based Support Groups for the Rare Disease Community: Interview Study With Patients and Parents of Children with Rare and Undiagnosed Diseases (Preprint)
Authors: Doyle Tom A , Vershaw Samantha L , Conboy Erin , Halverson Colin M E
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

The rarity that is inherent in rare disease (RD) often means that patients and parents of children with RDs feel uniquely isolated and therefore are unprepared or unsupported in their care. To overcome this isolation, many within the RD community turn to the internet, and social media groups in particular, to gather useful information about their RDs. While previous research has shown that social media support groups are helpful for those affected by RDs, it is unclear what these groups are particularly useful or helpful for patients and parents of children with RDs.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to identify what specific features of disease-related support groups (DRSGs) the RD community finds particularly useful or supportive and provide a set of recommendations to improve social media–based RD support groups based on this information.

METHODS

Semistructured qualitative interviews were performed with patients and parents of patients with RDs. Interview participants had to be at least 18 years of age at the time of the interview, be seen by a genetics specialist at a partner health care institution and be proficient in the English language. Social media use was not a prerequisite for participation, so interview participants ranged from extensive users of social media to those who chose to remain off all social media. All interviews were conducted by phone, recorded, and then transcribed. Interview transcripts were then coded using the 6 steps outlined by Braun and Clarke. Three researchers (TAD, SLV, and CMEH) performed initial coding. After this, the study team conducted a review of themes and all members of the team agreed upon a final analysis and presentation of data.

RESULTS

We conducted 31 interviews (mean age 40, SD 10.04 years; n=27, 87% were women; n=30, 97% were non-Hispanic White). Thematic analysis revealed that social media DRSG users identified the informational usefulness of these groups as being related to the gathering and sharing of specific information about an RD, clarification about the importance and meaning of certain symptoms, and obtaining insight into an RD’s progression and prognosis. Participants also identified that DRSGs were useful sources of practical information, such as tips and tricks about managing RD-related issues and concerns. In addition, participants found DRSGs to be a useful space for sharing their disease-related stories but also highlighted a feeling of exhaustion from overexposure and overuse of DRSGs.

CONCLUSIONS

This study identifies the usefulness of DRSGs for the RD community and provides a set of recommendations to improve future instances of DRSGs. These recommendations can be used to create DRSGs that are less prone to splintering into other DRSGs, thus minimizing the risk of having important RD-related information unhelpfully dispersed amongst a multitude of support groups.

Authors: Chen Yanya , Guan Lina , Wu Weixin , Ye Liang , He Yan , Zheng Xiaofen , Li Sicun , Guan Bingsheng , Ming Wai-kit
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Obesity could compromise people’s health and elevate the risk of numerous severe chronic conditions and premature mortality. Young adults are at high risk of adopting unhealthy lifestyles related to overweight and obesity, as they are at a phase marked by several significant life milestones that have been linked to weight gain. They gain weight rapidly and excess adiposity mostly accrues, compared with middle-aged and older adults when weight stabilizes or even decreases. Virtual reality exergames have the potential to increase physical activity in people’s daily lives. However, the factors that influence young adults’ preference for using virtual reality exergames for weight control remain unclear.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study is to identify, characterize, and explain the factors influencing young adults' preference for weight control using virtual reality exergames.

METHODS

This qualitative study used semistructured interviews. In total, 4 focus group interviews were conducted with 23 young adults aged between 18 and 25 years. The qualitative data were analyzed using the Colaizzi phenomenological methodology.

RESULTS

In total, 3 major factors were found to influence young adults’ preference for virtual reality exergames in weight control settings: individual factors, social or environmental factors, and expectations of virtual reality exergames. Individual factors included experience with previous weight control methods, previous experience with virtual reality, psychological status, attitudes toward personal BMI, preference for exercise type, and acceptance of virtual reality exergames. Social or environmental factors included social definitions of beauty, weather or public health events, and knowledge of virtual reality provided. Expectations of virtual reality exergames included cost of the device, the fun of virtual reality exergames, supervision, modality of virtual reality exergames, feedback after exercise, convenience to use, and weight loss effect.

CONCLUSIONS

Young adults take various factors into account when deciding whether to use virtual reality exergames for weight control. These factors can inform the development and further refinement of devices, guides, and policies related to virtual reality exergames for controlling weight.

Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Estimation of multiple chronic condition (MCC) prevalence throughout adulthood provides a critical reflection of MCC burden.

OBJECTIVE

We analyzed electronic health record codes for 58 conditions to estimate MCC prevalence for All of Us (AoU) Research Program adult participants (N=242,828).

METHODS

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis to estimate the number of participants with MCC using the version 7 Controlled Tier AoU Research Program data release. Data analysis was conducted using Python within the Researcher Workbench. Descriptive statistics included condition frequencies and participants’ age distributions aligned with age and diagnosis dates.

RESULTS

Approximately 76% of AoU participants were diagnosed with MCCs, with over 40% having 6 or more conditions and prevalence increasing with age; the most frequently occurring MCC combinations varied by age category (i.e., mental health conditions in early adulthood and physical health conditions in middle adulthood through advanced old age).

CONCLUSIONS

We report notable prevalence of MCC throughout adulthood and variability in MCC condition combinations by age category in AoU participants. These findings highlight the need for targeted, innovative care modalities and population health initiatives to address MCC burden throughout adulthood.

Authors: Jat Munita , Gupta Madhu , Prinja Shankar
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

The government of India has launched various digital health interventions (DHIs) at the primary healthcare level to improve health services and health-seeking behaviors.

OBJECTIVE

To assess the implementation status of DHIs and the response of the target-end-users and health care workers (HCWs) in health and wellness centres (HWCs) in Chandigarh, Union Territory India.

METHODS

A cross-sectional study was conducted in four randomly selected HWCs using a pretested data extraction form and observation checklist during June-September 2022. Respective pretested interview schedules were used to assess the awareness and usability of DHIs among 120 target end users and 120 HCWs. The logic model with a scoring system was used to assess the implementation status of DHIs. Status of DHI implementation estimated as percentage cumulative scores obtained

RESULTS

Implementation status of the Electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network (eVIN)and Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) portal was in the range of 70-90%, Health Management Information System (HMIS) portal, HWC portal, Comprehensive Primary Healthcare- Non-Communicable Disease (CPHC NCD) portal, and FP_LIMS in 25-50%, eSanjeevani and IDSP-IHIP portal 51-70%. Community awareness of DHIs ranged from 1% to 22%, except for Aarogya Setu (78.3%) and the COVID-19 Vaccine Intelligence Network (CoWin) app (35.8%). While 66% of HCWs reported working with DHIs easy, 88% acknowledged that dual data entry increased their workload

CONCLUSIONS

RCH and eVIN portals were effectively implemented, eSanjeevani was fairly implemented, and HMIS, HWC portal, CPHC, and FP_LIMS were weakly implemented. Community awareness of DHIs was low except for the Aarogya Setu and CoWin app. HCWs reported working with DHIs was easy but it had increased their workload.
Effectiveness and implementation outcomes of an mHealth app aimed at promoting physical activity and improving psychological distress in the workplace setting: a cluster-level non-randomized controlled trial (Preprint)
Authors: Watanabe Kazuhiro , Sato Mitsuhiro , Okusa Shoichi , Tsutsumi Akizumi
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Encouraging physical activity improves mental health and is recommended in workplace mental health guidelines. Although mHealth interventions are promising for physical activity promotion, their impact on mental health outcomes is inconsistent. Furthermore, poor user retention rates of mHealth apps pose a major challenge.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness and implementation outcomes of the smartphone app ASHARE in Japanese workplace settings, leveraging a deep learning model to monitor depression and anxiety through physical activity.

METHODS

This hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial was a 3-month non-randomized controlled study conducted from October 2023 to September 2024. Work units and employees were recruited and allocated to the intervention or active control group based on preference. The intervention group installed the ASHARE app, whereas the control group participated in an existing multi-component workplace program promoting physical activity. Changes in physical activity and psychological distress levels were compared between the groups. User retention rates, participation rates, acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, satisfaction, and potential harm were also assessed.

RESULTS

Eighty-four employees from seven work units participated (67 from five units in the intervention group and 17 from two units in the control group). Seventy-eight employees completed the 3-month follow-up survey (follow-up rate: 92.9%). Both groups showed increased physical activity, and the intervention group showed reduced psychological distress; however, the differences between groups were not statistically significant (p = 0.201; p = 0.358). In a sensitivity analysis of protocol-compliant employees (n = 21), psychological distress levels were significantly reduced in the intervention group compared to the control group (Coeff=-3.68, SE=1.65, p = 0.032). The app’s 3-month user retention rate was 19.7% (12/61), which was lower than the participation rate in each component of the control programs. Implementation outcomes evaluated by employees were less favorable in the intervention group than in the control group, whereas health promotion managers found them to be similar.

CONCLUSIONS

The ASHARE app did not show superior effectiveness compared with an existing multi-component workplace program for promoting physical activity. An implementation gap may exist between health promotion managers and employees, possibly contributing to the app’s low user retention rate.

The longitudinal effect of psychological distress on internet addition symptoms among Chinese college students: a cross-lagged panel network analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Jiang Yuxuan , Xiao Chuman , Wang Xiang , Yuan Dongling , Liu Qian , Han Yan , Fan Jie , Zhu Xiongzhao
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

There has been growing amount of evidence suggested the high rates of co-occurring Internet addiction (IA) symptoms and psychological distress in young people. However, how these symptoms interact dynamically remain not fully understood.

OBJECTIVE

This longitudinal study aims to explore the development and changes of IA symptoms over time and the directional relationship between IA and various psychological distress.

METHODS

The research followed a sample of 2,497 Chinese youth across three waves of data collection over a two-year period. We employed network analysis to examine the network structure of IA symptoms at each wave and cross-lagged panel network analysis (CLPN) to investigate longitudinal associations between IA symptoms and psychological distress, including depression, anxiety and stress.

RESULTS

The cross-sectional networks of IA symptoms at three time points showed high similarity in terms of structure, existence of edges, and centrality estimates. ‘Excessive use’, ‘salience’, and ‘neglect work’ were nodes with the highest expected influence centrality in the IA symptom networks across time. CLPN revealed that psychological distress predicted IA symptoms, but not the other way around, with the strongest weights observed in the three directional networks. Depressive symptoms played a central predictive role in the development of various IA-related problems, and might also serve as bridge symptoms connecting IA and psychological distress issues.

CONCLUSIONS

Findings revealed a relatively stable structure of IA symptoms among college students and suggested that psychological distress, especially depression, may play a central role in activating IA symptoms over time. These results support the compensatory Internet use relationship model and provide important implications for preventing IA in youths.

Published: December 2024

Home garden productivity can be enhanced by managing plant diversity, optimizing stand arrangements, and selecting species suited to local land conditions. Avocado trees, in particular, have strong potential to thrive in the karst regions of Karangasem Village, Paliyan, Gunungkidul. Some trees planted spottily by local people in their home garden have been able to bear fruit. The avocado trees have also been grown intensively in the Semanu District, adjacent to Paliyan District. These factors indicate that avocado trees are well-adapted to the local area. To promote optimal growth, stand management should incorporate appropriate silvicultural practices. The objective of this community service program was to increase the tree species diversification of home gardens in Karangasem Village by planting avocado trees by assisting the Forest Farmer Group of Lestari Mulyo, as a potential driving group to the community. In the future, local communities can hopefully establish avocados as a new commodity to help boost household incomes.

Authors: Fitriyana Amalia , Awwalin Ellya Nur , Salma Nur Zahidatus , Shadiqi Muhammad Abdan , Putri Zerlinda Rezkika Lestari
Published: December 2024

The floating markets of South Kalimantan, a vital piece of cultural heritage and economic icon, are at risk of extinction due to modernization and the declining interest of the Gen Z children of acil jukung (floating market traders) in continuing the tradition. This research addresses the critical issue of regeneration barriers through the lens of uncertainty-identity theory, exploring why younger generations are reluctant to sustain this livelihood. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions with nine Gen Z participants (six female and three male) from the Lok Baintan and Muara Kuin floating markets. The findings identify three primary obstacles: income uncertainty, environmental unpredictability, and a perceived mismatch between the profession and Gen Z's aspirations, often accompanied by feelings of shame. Despite these challenges, participants expressed pride in their parents' roles and proposed innovations, such as diversifying merchandise, enhancing boat aesthetics, utilizing social media for promotion, and forming a community of traders. This study highlights the psychological and social dynamics behind regeneration challenges while offering actionable strategies to preserve the cultural and economic sustainability of floating markets.

Published: December 2024

Cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks, remain a leading cause of mortality globally. Early prediction and
intervention play a critical role in preventing and managing such conditions. This project presents a comprehensive approach to
heart attack prediction through the integration of machine learning techniques and a user-friendly graphical user interface
(GUI) implemented in Python.
The system leverages a dataset of relevant health parameters, including age, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and other key
factors. A machine learning model, trained on historical data, is employed to analyze and predict the likelihood of a heart attack
based on these input features. The model's accuracy and efficiency are crucial to its effectiveness, and various algorithms are
explored to identify the optimal solution.
To enhance accessibility and usability, a GUI is developed using Python's Tkinter library. The GUI enables users to input their
health parameters easily and receive an instant prediction regarding their potential risk of a heart attack. The visual
representation of the prediction, along with additional informative features, aims to empower individuals to take proactive
measures towards a healthier lifestyle.
The project not only contributes to the field of cardiovascular health prediction but also serves as an educational tool for users
to better understand the factors influencing their cardiovascular well-being. The integration of machine learning into a userfriendly GUI provides a practical and efficient solution for both healthcare professionals and individuals concerned about their
heart health.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the components affecting the cost in palliative care (PC) and to determine how much they affect this cost separately and to evaluate the relationship between PC components and PC cost in order to determine the cost table of both the patient and the hospital in a more planned way and for a more cost-effective management.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study. Data on patients, demographic characteristics, chronic disease profiles, duration of antibiotic use, antibiotic costs, length of stay, presence and number of hospital infections, feeding methods, opioid use, mortality rate, presence of decubitus ulcer, central venous catheter and tracheostomy were evaluated to determine their effects on cost.
Results: No significant relationship was found between cost of palliative care and mortality, age, gender, opioid use and chronic diseases. The cost of palliative care for the cancer group was statistically lower, with an average daily cost of $177. Length of stay, decubitus ulcers, duration of antibiotic use, number of nosocomial infections, presence of central venous catheter and tracheostomy, and nutritional status showed a positive correlation with cost of palliative care.
Conclusions: It was observed that some components of PC were associated with high costs, but mortality was independent of costs. While calculating the cost-effectiveness in PC, mortality should also be taken into consideration along with other components, and PC efficiency should not be ignored while targeting cost-effectiveness.

Introduction: Skin lesions observed concomitantly with increasing functional dependency and/or cognitive impairment can lead to significant additional challenges. In this study, we aimed to assess the relationship between functional dependency, cognitive status, and skin lesions in elderly individuals
Methods: Individuals presenting to the geriatric outpatient clinic of a tertiary reference center were included in a cross-sectional study. The level of dependency was determined using the Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and the Lawton-Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) scale, classifying individuals as "totally dependent," "partially dependent," or "independent." Cognitive status was assessed using the Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), with scores of 24 and above considered "normal."
Results: Of the 228 individuals included in the study, 63.60% were male, with a mean age of 76.20 (±7.10) years. The three most commonly observed skin findings in the study group were scar (43.90%), xerosis (40.40%), and dermatophytosis (36.40%). It was revealed that the occurrence of xerosis, infection-related lesions, eczema, diabetic foot ulcers, decubitus ulcers, and pruritus was statistically significantly lower in individuals with "totally independent" ADL, "totally independent" IADL, and/or "normal" cognitive function assessed by MMSE.
Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between functional and cognitive status and the occurrence of skin lesions in elderly individuals. Certain skin lesions such as xerosis, infection-related lesions, eczema, diabetic foot ulcers, decubitus ulcers, and pruritus may be particularly common in elderly individuals who are functionally dependent and/or have impaired cognitive functions and should be taken into consideration in clinical practice.
