Published: February 2022

There is a consensus that better health should be viewed both as a means and an end to achieve development. The level of development should be judged by the health status of the population and the fair distribution of health services across the people. Many determinants affect a child’s health. This study aimed to explore a child’s health predictors and the moderating role of birth spacing on the association between mother’s health care services utilization (MHCSU) and a child’s health. In this study, we used the dataset of Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey 2017-18 to explore the predictors of child health and the moderating role of birth spacing through binary logistic regression, using SPSS version 20. The results showed an association of mother’s age (35 to 49 years), her education (at least secondary), health care services (more accessible), father’s education (at least secondary), their wealth status (high), and exposure to mass media to improved child health. However, the effect of a mother’s employment status (employed) on her child’s health is significant and negative. The coefficient of moderation term indicated that the moderating role of birth spacing on the association between MHCSU and a child’s health is positive. We conclude that birth spacing is a strong predictor for improving a child’s health. The association between MHCSU and child’s health is more distinct and positive when the birth spacing is at least 33 months.
Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Group-Based Self-Determination Enhancement Intervention for Adults with Mild Intellectual Disability and Their Caregivers
Authors: Wong Phyllis King Shui
Published: February 2022

Self-determination is regarded as an adult outcome for people with an intellectual disability (ID). However, self-determination curricula are rarely available in Hong Kong. This paper outlines a protocol for an experimental study that examines the effectiveness of a group-based self-determination enhancement intervention for adults with mild ID and their caregivers. A randomized controlled trial with pre-test, post-test and three-month follow-up is proposed. A total of 120 participants will be randomly assigned to three conditions: self-determination enhancement group, self-determination enhancement PLUS group (with caregivers in a parallel group) and leisure activity group as a control condition. Five groups will be organized for each of the three conditions. There will be 10 sessions per group covering the core components of self-determination including self-knowledge, goal setting and attaining goals, self-regulating and adjusting plans. Components for caregivers include understanding how self-determination and REACH responding skills can support their children to exercise self-determination through positive interaction. Self-determination competencies and personal well-being will be measured at three points in time. The proposed study is the first evidence-based local study aimed at examining a culturally tailored self-determination enhancement intervention for people with ID and fills a research gap in existing interventions. If the intervention is demonstrated to be effective, it will provide new knowledge for a group-based intervention and will be used with Chinese-speaking people with ID in different parts of the world.

The study assessed conditioning activities’ (CAs’) effects involving different work-to-rest ratios (WRR) on taekwondo athletes’ physical performance. Adolescent taekwondo athletes (age: 16 ± 1 years) randomly participated in the control six experimental conditions. Each condition was composed of standard warm-up and CA composed of plyometrics (P) or repeated high-intensity techniques (RHIT) performed using three different WRR: 1:6, 1:7, self-selected rest time (SSRT). After rest, athletes performed countermovement jump (CMJ), taekwondo specific agility test (TSAT), 10 s frequency speed kick test (FSKT-10s), multiple frequency speed kick test (FSKT-mult). P1:7, SSRT induced techniques higher number in FSKT-10s (p < 0.001 for all comparisons) and lower TSAT time (p < 0.01 for all comparisons) compared with control. Kicks-number recorded during FSKT-mult was lower in the control compared with RHIT1:6 (p = 0.001), RHIT1:7 (p < 0.001), RHITSSRT (p < 0.05), P1:7 (p < 0.001), and SSRT (p < 0.001). Kicking decrement index (DI) during FSKT-mult was lower after RHIT1:6 compared with control (p = 0.008), RHIT1:7 (p = 0.031), P 1:6 (p = 0.014), PSSRT (p = 0.041). (1) P1:7 and PSSRT can be used to improve taekwondo-specific agility and kicks-number, (2) RHIT1:6 is beneficial to maintain low DI, and (3) plyometric and different WRR-repeated-techniques can enhance kicks-number.

Published: February 2022

Post-exercise hypotension is of great clinical relevance and also in sports training settings, as recovery speed is important. The aim of this study was to compare the influence of different recovery methods on post-exercise hemodynamic response. Twelve male paraplegic sportsmen (25.40 ± 3.30 years) performed a strength training (ST) session using the bench press exercise. After the ST, three recovery methods were randomly performed over a 15-min period: passive recovery (PR), cold-water (CW) and dry needle (DN). Blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) and myocardial oxygen were measured before and post ST, as well as post the recovery method. Results: Dry needling induced lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) immediately after the treatment when compared with the other recovery methods, but the contrary was observed at 50 and 60-min post recovery, where records with DN exhibit higher mean values (η2p = 0.330). There were no differences in post-exercise diastolic BP and mean BP between recovery methods. There was a significantly higher HR after the PR method, when compared with CW and with DN (η2p = 0.426). The same was observed for double product and for myocardial oxygen, though with a larger effect size (η2p = 0.446). We conclude that dry needling seems to induce a faster SBP lowering immediately after the procedure but at 50-min post procedure the cold-water method showed better result. As for HR, both procedures (DN and CW) showed a better recovery when compared with passive recovery, along the several moments of measurement.

Published: February 2022

Background: Although the internet facilitates access to a wide range of knowledge and evidence, overuse among young people is associated with lower wellbeing and psychosomatic symptoms. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to explore the relationship between internet use, mental wellbeing, and psychosomatic symptoms among university students in Slovenia. Methods: We used correlation matrix plots to identify correlated symptoms and multivariate logistic regression to analyze the relationship between the time spent on the internet or computer and psychosomatic symptoms controlling for gender. Symptoms were measured using the Health Behavior of School Children scale. Results: Out of 464 students, the majority (64.7%, n = 300) were healthcare students and 35.3% (n = 164) were computer science students. Among somatic symptoms, headaches were associated with more time spent on the computer (r = −0.17, p < 0.001) and were significantly more prevalent in computer science students compared to health science students (χ2(1) = 8.52, p = 0.004). Time spent using the internet for spare time activities was associated with lower nervousness (r = 0.15, p = 0.005). Conclusions: Computer science students reported more frequent psychological symptoms compared to health science students and less somatic symptoms.

Published: February 2022

Mental health is especially important as women transition into parenthood. The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated the rapid reconfiguration of maternity services, including perinatal mental healthcare, as offered by Specialist Perinatal Mental Health Midwives, in NHS Trusts in the United Kingdom. This article represents work undertaken in rapid response to the COVID-19 pandemic and aims to document the findings from March 2020 up until May 2021 in literature published on perinatal mental health through the pandemic, as well as to engage in a knowledge mapping exercise across five NHS Trusts in London. In this research, we utilised a critical review methodology which purposefully selects and synthesises materials after extensive literature searching to provide a broad and informed narrative around an issue. For our knowledge mapping exercise, we utilised an inclusive stance to gather, pool, and synthesise data from five NHS Trusts regarding the provisions and reconfigurations of their perinatal mental health services, creating a comparable and translatable snapshot in time. Our rapid, critical review highlighted two themes: ‘Increased Perinatal Distress’ and ‘Inaccessible Services and Support’. Our knowledge mapping exercise produced four themes: ‘Retention of Existing Service Provision’; ‘Additional Services Provided’; ‘Reconfiguration of Service Provision’; ‘Additional Provision to Support Staff Wellbeing’. We conclude by offering best practice guidance in order to provide shared learning to aid the transition through para-pandemic circumstances to service delivery in a post-pandemic ‘new normal’.
Spatiotemporal Variation in Groundwater Quality and Source Apportionment along the Ye River of North China Using the PMF Model
Authors: Niu Chao , Zhang Qianqian , Xiao Lele , Wang Huiwei
Published: February 2022

Groundwater quality deterioration has attracted widespread concern in China. In this research, the water quality index (WQI) and a positive matrix factorization (PMF) model were used to assess groundwater quality and identify pollution sources in the Ye River area of northern China. Research found that TH, SO42−, and NO3− were the main groundwater pollution factors in the Ye River area, since their exceeding standard rates were 78.13, 34.38, and 59.38%, respectively. The main groundwater hydrochemical type has changed from HCO3-Ca(Mg) to HCO3·SO4-Ca(Mg). These data indicated that the groundwater quality was affected by anthropogenic activities. Spatial variation in groundwater quality was mainly influenced by land use, whereas temporal variation was mainly controlled by rainfall. The WQI indicated that the groundwater quality was better in the flood season than in the dry season due to the diluting effect of rainfall runoff. Notably, farmland groundwater quality was relatively poor as it was affected by various pollution sources. Based on the PMF model, the main groundwater pollution sources were domestic sewage (52.4%), industrial wastewater (24.1%), and enhanced water–rock interaction induced by intensely exploited groundwater (23.6%) in the dry season, while in the flood season they were domestic sewage and water–rock interaction (49.6%), agriculture nonpoint pollution (26.1%), and industrial wastewater and urban nonpoint pollution (23.9%). In addition, the mean contribution of domestic sewage and industrial sewage to sampling sites in the dry season (1489 and 322.5 mg/L, respectively) were higher than that in the flood season (1158 and 273.6 mg/L, respectively). To sum up, the point sources (domestic sewage and industrial wastewater) remain the most important groundwater pollution sources in this region. Therefore, the local government should enhance the sewage treatment infrastructure and exert management of fertilization strategies to increase the fertilizer utilization rate and prevent further groundwater quality deterioration.

Published: February 2022

Neurogenesis is a physiological response after cerebral ischemic injury to possibly repair the damaged neural network. Therefore, promoting neurogenesis is very important for functional recovery after cerebral ischemic injury. Our previous research indicated that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) exerted neuroprotective effects, such as reducing cerebral infarction volume. The purposes of this study were to further explore the effects of HBOT on the neurogenesis and the expressions of cell migration factors, including the stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF1) and its target receptor, the CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). Thirty-two Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into the control or HBO group after receiving transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). HBOT began to intervene 24 h after MCAO under the pressure of 3 atmospheres for one hour per day for 21 days. Rats in the control group were placed in the same acrylic box without HBOT during the experiment. After the final intervention, half of the rats in each group were cardio-perfused with ice-cold saline followed by 4% paraformaldehyde under anesthesia. The brains were removed, dehydrated and cut into serial 20μm coronal sections for immunofluorescence staining to detect the markers of newborn cell (BrdU+), mature neuron cell (NeuN+), SDF1, and CXCR4. The affected motor cortex of the other half rats in each group was separated under anesthesia and used to detect the expressions of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), SDF1, and CXCR4. Motor function was tested by a ladder-climbing test before and after the experiment. HBOT significantly enhanced neurogenesis in the penumbra area and promoted the expressions of SDF1 and CXCR4. The numbers of BrdU+/SDF1+, BrdU+/CXCR4+, and BrdU+/NeuN+ cells and BDNF concentrations in the penumbra were all significantly increased in the HBO group when compared with the control group. The motor functions were improved in both groups, but there was a significant difference between groups in the post-test. Our results indicated that HBOT for 21 days enhanced neurogenesis and promoted cell migration toward the penumbra area in transient brain ischemic rats. HBOT also increased BDNF expression, which might further promote the reconstructions of the impaired neural networks and restore motor function.

This research aimed to investigate the performance of prepacked aggregates fiber-reinforced concrete (PAFRC) with adequate acoustic characteristics for various applications. PAFRC is a newly developed concrete made by arranging and packing aggregates and short fibers in predetermined formworks, then inserting a grout mixture into the voids amongst the aggregate particles using a pump or gravity mechanism. After a one-year curing period, the effects of utilizing waste polypropylene (PP) fibers on the strength and acoustic characteristics of PAFRC mixes were examined. Compressive and tensile strengths, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), sound absorption, and transmission loss were investigated on plain concrete and PAFRC mixtures comprising 0–1% PP fibers. The results revealed that the use of PP fibers slightly decreased the compressive strength and UPV of PAFRC mixes. The inclusion of waste PP fibers also significantly increased the tensile strength and sound insulation coefficient of PAFRC mixes, especially at higher fiber dosages. In the medium-to-high frequency ranges, more than 60% acoustic absorption coefficient was observed, indicating that PAFRC specimens have good sound insulation properties.

This article presents an attempt to determine the effect of the MXene phase addition and its decomposition during sintering with the use of the spark plasma sintering method on mechanical properties and residual stress of silicon carbide based composites. For this purpose, the unreinforced silicon carbide sinter and the silicon carbide composite with the addition of 2 wt.% of Ti3C2Tx were tested. The results showed a significant increase of fracture toughness and hardness for composite, respectively 36% and 13%. The numerical study involving this novel method of modelling shows the presence of a complex state of stress in the material, which is related to the anisotropic properties of graphitic carbon structures formed during sintering. An attempt to determine the actual values of residual stress in the tested materials using Raman spectroscopy was also made. These tests showed a good correlation with the constructed numerical model and confirmed the presence of a complex state of residual stress.

Published: February 2022

Glasses in the TeO2-ZnO-Y2O3 (TZY) ternary system are examined in the present work. The vitrification domain of the chosen oxide matrix is determined and differential scanning calorimetry as well as X-ray diffraction measurements are carried out. The material characterizations reveal that Y2O3 incorporation cannot exceed 5 mol.% without causing detrimental crystallization within the glass. Optical transmission and refractive index investigations are conducted on compositions yielding fully amorphous samples. Next, the fiber drawing ability of selected yttrium-containing zinc-tellurite glasses is assessed and fiber-attenuation measurements in the mid-infrared are presented. Finally, a multimode step-index fiber is fabricated by combining a TZY cladding glass with a La2O3-based tellurite core glass. It is believed that yttrium-containing glasses could prove useful in association with other high glass transition temperature (>300 °C) TeO2-based materials for the design of robust optical fibers with precisely engineered refractive index profiles.

Published: February 2022

A simulation mathematical model of the state of operability of metal structures under difficult operating conditions without stopping the equipment was developed in the form of similarity criteria found on the basis of the laws of conservation of data obtained experimentally during tensile and four-point bending tests. Criteria are proposed for the similarity of the state of the material of the samples and the products in service, in which the kinetics of destruction are determined through the rate of damage accumulation and the movement of the structural components of the material. The residual life of the equipment under conditions of complex deformation effects was determined based on the theory of similarity and the analysis of the dimensions of the parameters of acoustic emission in real time. The use of concepts and models of fracture mechanics when creating methods and criteria for assessing the results of diagnostics and monitoring allows important information about the technical state of objects to be obtained.
A Microfluidic Prototype for High-Frequency, Large Strain Oscillatory Flow Rheometry
Authors: Lanzaro Alfredo , Yuan Xue-Feng
Published: February 2022

We introduce a “Rheo-chip” prototypical rheometer which is able to characterise model fluids under oscillatory flow at frequencies f up to 80 Hz and nominal strain up to 350, with sample consumption of less than 1 mL, and with minimum inertial effects. Experiments carried out with deionized (DI) water demonstrate that the amplitude of the measured pressure drop ΔPM falls below the Newtonian prediction at f≥ 3 Hz. By introducing a simple model which assumes a linear dependence between the back force and the dead volume within the fluid chambers, the frequency response of both ΔPM and of the phase delay could be modeled more efficiently. Such effects need to be taken into account when using this type of technology for characterising the frequency response of non-Newtonian fluids.

Published: February 2022

Most of Gedebage area consist of expansive soil and always greatly induce disturbance to structure of foundation. Nature properties of expansive soil is a high plasticity value, low soil shear strength, high swelling, and large potential for shrinkage. One solution for soil improvement is to use an additional material to stabilize this soil. Additional material uses locked emulsion asphalt 8% and mud from Lapindo area in variation of 3%, 6%, 9% and 12%. The results of testing the physical and mechanical properties after stabilization indicates increasing of density value around 68%. Plasticity index tends to decrease until 10% from CBR test. CBR values with curing time of 14 days are 8.1% for unsoaked and by 4.6% for soaked conditions.

— Background: Osteomyelitis is an infectious-inflammatory destructive bone disease caused by nonspecific and specific microflora, or microbial communities. Diabetes mellitus is the most common pathology associated with osteomyelitis and may be responsible for exacerbation of chronic osteomyelitis. Objective: to demonstrate a new patented technique for surgical treatment of osteomyelitis of distal phalanx (I finger) on the example of a clinical case. Methods: A female patient P. 34 years old, who has type 2 diabetes mellitus, decompensated. Daily glucosometry shows changes in capillary blood glucose from 7 to 25 mmol/L during the last month; the last blood test for HbA1c — 10.4%, it should be noted that the patient adheres to the diet prescribed by the endocrinologist and receives drug therapy according to treatment standards, however, attempts to compensate the disease have been failed. The patient suffers from obesity of 1 degree (BMI = 30.11). Results: Operation: after preparation of the surgical site with Betadin’s solution, local anesthesia according to Oberst-Lukashevich (injection of 3 ml 2% Lidocaine solution on each side into the lateral surfaces of the I finger of the right hand from the place of harness application, proximal to the intervention area) was provided. Extraction of the nail plate with dissection of soft tissues along the phalanx and along the projection of the nail bed and rotation of tissues downwards to expose the bone destruction focus. Then necrectomy of the damaged bone was performed followed by sanitization and returning of soft tissues to their place without suturing. Conclusion: The given example of surgical treatment of finger osteomyelitis has undeniable advantages due to a number of reasons: elimination of traumatization of finger’s working surface, achievement of cosmetic effect, preservation of aesthetic and function of hand, as well as all types of sensitivity of finger skin. It is worth noting that this method of surgical treatment of osteomyelitis has more favorable course of the postoperative period due to a shorter duration of pain syndrome and the general reaction of the body.

In this study, the authors chose to assess the prognostic capabilities of the laser Doppler flowmetry method for postoperative complications in patients with advanced peritonitis. A retrospective randomized controlled trial (evidence level IIB) was performed. The study involved 54 patients who were operated on for secondary widespread fibrinous-purulent peritonitis. The patients were divided into two groups with 27 patients in each: the main group — with developed postoperative complications and a comparison group — without complications. The research was carried out by the analyzer "Lazma MC-1" (Russia). Scanning of the parietal and visceral peritoneum, small and large intestines, as well as the edges of the laparotomic wound was performed. A total of 504 scans were performed. The relationship of indicators was determined using the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Microcirculation indices in both groups were characterized by pronounced disorders of pre- and postcapillary resistance and disorders of tissue perfusion. The following indicators turned out to be statistically significant: percentage of microcirculation (r= 0.77 at p≤0.05), standard deviation (r = 0.67 at p≤0.05), coefficient of variation (r = 0.59 at p≤0, 05) and shunting percentage. In patients of the main group, the changes were expressed in an increase in pre- and postcapillary resistance, progressive arterio-venular shunting. All this ultimately led to disturbances in the perfusion of the intestinal wall, peritoneum and laparotomic wound, which led to postoperative complications. The technique of abdominal laser Doppler flowmetry can be a prognostic method that allows predicting the development of early postoperative complications after primary surgery and making appropriate adjustments to the treatment.

The fabrication technology for photonic crystals (PhCs) pertaining to the near-infrared region is mature, and the development of highly functional PhCs using low-symmetry nanoholes is rapidly progressing. In the visible region, InGaN/GaN systems that have good luminescent and electrical properties are the most promising candidate materials for such types of highly functional PhCs, but the development is not progressing. In this study, we report on the basic design parameters and a new fabrication method for InGaN/GaN-based PhC membranes by combining hydrogen environment anisotropic thermal etching based on hydrogen-assisted thermal decomposition and nitric acid wet etching of the AlInN sacrificial layer. Using this method, we fabricated high-quality InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well PhC membrane structures having six-membered rings of well-formed fine equilateral triangular nanoholes with a side length of 100 nm. Enhanced green room-temperature photoluminescence with an intensity nine times higher than that of as-grown wafers was observed for the PhC membrane.

Internet Protocols are utilized to empower the communication between the computing devices in the computer networks. IPv6 offers additional address space and more noteworthy security than IPv4. The progress from IPv4 to IPv6 has been finished through three primary change systems: dual-stack, tunneling, and translation. The IPv6 progress relies upon the similarity with the enormous introduced base of IPv4 nodes and routers just as keeping up with the security of the network from possible threats and vulnerabilities of both Internet protocols. This research identifies potential security issues in the transition mechanisms and proposing prevention mechanisms to the problems identified. Dual-Stack & Tunneling mechanisms were completely implemented in this research work and the security test was based on dual-stack network. A simulation has been designed by using GNS3 and the penetration test by the THC-IPv6 toolkit. After the implementation of simulation, IPv6 in the dual-stack mechanism was identified as vulnerable to DoS via RA flooding and IPv6 fragmentation attacks that shown the IPv6 security problems. Therefore, IPv6 ACLs and RA guards were proposed in order to protect from flooding attacks and VFR should be configured to prevent IPv6 fragmentation.
