Introduction

Emphasis on public involvement (PI) in health research has increased in the last 20 years. However, there is limited literature on PI in planning and conducting population-based health research. This study aims to identify child and adolescent health research priorities among children and stakeholder groups in Northern Norway by inviting PI groups to collaborate with researchers to develop and conduct a research priority survey.

Methods and analysis

This is a community-based participatory research project. The methods for research prioritisation are informed by those developed by the James Lind Alliance. In addition, the survey design and engagement plans are developed in extensive collaboration with child and youth stakeholder groups. Nine PI groups have met three times to develop an anonymous child and youth health research priority survey, as well as strategies for recruitment and dissemination of results. All 5th–10th grade pupils in the Finnmark region will be invited to participate in the survey, as well as caretakers and adults working for and with children and youth. The survey results will be analysed in collaboration with the PI groups, and research priorities checked with existing research literature.

Ethics and dissemination

The study is registered and approved by the Data Protection Authorities at the Finnmark Hospital Trust and the Expert Committee for Sami Health Research. Descriptions of methods applied and the survey results will be published in popular and scientific publications.

Authors: Xiong Juan , Chen Qianqian , Li Wenjie , Zheng Xujuan
Published: July 2023

Introduction

Breast cancer has becoming the most common malignancy in women globally. Various online interventions have been conducted to help women with breast cancer to manage their psychological symptoms. However, there has been not yet a network meta-analysis that has synthesised scientific evidence about online intervention on reducing anxiety and depression for women with breast cancer. To fill the literature gap, this protocol aims to generate a systematic review and network meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of online interventions on reducing anxiety and depression for these women with breast cancer. The study results may inform the recommendations for clinical guidelines and facilitate the decision-making process to improve psychological health of women with breast cancer.

Methods and analysis

The protocol is in compliance with the guideline of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols and for Systematic Reviews and Network Meta-Analysis. The electronic databases of Pubmed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Registry of Controlled Trials and OpenGrey will be used for searching of related randomised controlled trials from their inception. No restrictions on publication date and language will be applied. The primary outcomes are the symptoms of anxiety and depression, and the secondary outcome is the satisfaction with the received healthcare. Two reviewers independently evaluate the risk of bias using the Cochrane Collaboration’s Risk of Bias tool. The assessment of heterogeneity, inconsistency, subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis and publication bias will be conducted. The netmeta package of R software will be used to perform the network meta-analysis.

Ethics and dissemination

This study will be based on previous research findings, so that ethics approval is not required. Data searching commences in July 2023 and expects to complete in January, 2024. The findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and academic conferences.

Authors: Gutierrez-Arias Ruvistay , Pieper Dawid , Nydahl Peter , González-Seguel Felipe , Jalil Yorschua , Oliveros Maria-Jose , Torres-Castro Rodrigo , Seron Pamela
Published: July 2023

Introduction

Several systematic reviews (SRs) have been conducted to determine the effectiveness of early mobilisation in critically ill adults with heterogeneous methodology and results. Redundancy in conducting SRs, unclear justification when leading new SRs or updating, and discordant results of SRs on the same research question may generate research waste that makes it difficult for clinicians to keep up to date with the best available evidence. This meta-research aims to assess the redundancy, methodological and reporting quality, and potential reasons for discordance in the results reported by SRs conducted to determine the effectiveness of early mobilisation in critically ill adult patients.

Methods and analysis

A meta-research of early mobilisation SRs in critically ill adult patients will be conducted. A search of MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Cochrane Library, Epistemonikos and other search resources will be conducted. Two independent reviewers will perform study selection, data extraction and quality appraisal. Discrepancies will be resolved by consensus or a third reviewer. The redundancy of SRs will be assessed by the degree of overlap of primary studies. In addition, the justification for conducting new SRs will be evaluated with the ‘Evidence-Based Research’ framework. The methodological quality of the SRs will be assessed with the A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews 2 tool, and the quality of the reports through compliance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. To assess the potential reasons for discordance in the results of the SRs considering divergence in results and their interpretation.

Ethics and dissemination

As meta-research, this study does not involve the participation of people whose rights may be violated. However, this overview will be developed rigorously and systematically to achieve valid and reliable results. The findings of this meta-research study will be presented at conferences and published in a peer-reviewed journal related to rehabilitation, critical care or research methodology.

The Covid-19 pandemic that hit almost all countries, including Indonesia brought many limitations in various fields or sectors in society. Starting from the social sector, transportation, manufacturing, food, to the economy. However, one of the sectors hardest hit by the pandemic is the economic sector. This happened because Indonesia implemented large-scale social restrictions, curfews, and even semi-lockdown which ultimately had an impact on the wheels of the economy not turning well. Deteriorating economic conditions, causing many companies to lose money. Companies that are still surviving are also facing new challenges, namely how to implement and maximize social obligations to the community even though the company's resources are limited. The purpose of this study is to find out how maximally Corporate Social Responsibility is carried out by companies and in this study, several companies with Corporate Social Responsibility activities will be explained during the pandemic.
Mapping optical scattering properties to physical particle information in singly and multiply scattering samples
Authors: Cannon Taylor M. , Bouma Brett E. , Uribe-Patarroyo Néstor
Published: July 2023

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) leverages light scattering by biological tissues as endogenous contrast to form structural images. Light scattering behavior is dictated by the optical properties of the tissue, which depend on microstructural details at the cellular or sub-cellular level. Methods to measure these properties from OCT intensity data have been explored in the context of a number of biomedical applications seeking to access this sub-resolution tissue microstructure and thereby increase the diagnostic impact of OCT. Most commonly, the optical attenuation coefficient, an analogue of the scattering coefficient, has been used as a surrogate metric linking OCT intensity to subcellular particle characteristics. To record attenuation coefficient data that is accurately representative of the underlying physical properties of a given sample, it is necessary to account for the impact of the OCT imaging system itself on the distribution of light intensity in the sample, including the numerical aperture (NA) of the system and the location of the focal plane with respect to the sample surface, as well as the potential contribution of multiple scattering to the reconstructed intensity signal. Although these considerations complicate attenuation coefficient measurement and interpretation, a suitably calibrated system may potentiate a powerful strategy for gaining additional information about the scattering behavior and microstructure of samples. In this work, we experimentally show that altering the OCT system geometry minimally impacts measured attenuation coefficients in samples presumed to be singly scattering, but changes these measurements in more highly scattering samples. Using both depth-resolved attenuation coefficient data and layer-resolved backscattering coefficients, we demonstrate the retrieval of scattering particle diameter and concentration in tissue-mimicking phantoms, and the impact of presumed multiple scattering on these calculations. We further extend our approach to characterize a murine brain tissue sample and highlight a tumor-bearing region based on increased scattering particle density. Through these methods, we not only enhance conventional OCT attenuation coefficient analysis by decoupling the independent effects of particle size and concentration, but also discriminate areas of strong multiple scattering through minor changes to system topology to provide a framework for assessing the accuracy of these measurements.
Observation of amplified spontaneous emission in Cd1-xZnxSe/ZnSe alloyed quantum dots through CW pumping
Authors: Das Palash Kusum , Dhiman Nishant , Umapathy Siva , Bhardwaj Asha
Published: July 2023

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have attracted much attention due to their optical tunability and application as a unique solution processable gain medium in lasers. Many research groups over the world have successfully attained amplification from Cd-based QDs through femtosecond (fs) and nanosecond (ns) pumping. However, for the wide application of QD-based lasers, an operation in the CW regime is much more favorable. Here, we present a critical step towards this goal by demonstrating CW laser (532 nm) pumped amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) in Cd1-xZnxSe/ZnSe alloyed core QDs dispersed in toluene at room temperature. Alloyed core QDs show lower non radiative transitions, which has been demonstrated by TA dynamics in this report. The threshold level for CW ASE is observed to be 31 W cm-2. These results indicate that these QDs can sustain CW-stimulated emission at room temperature, and can be widely applicable by further optimizing the QD material quality in order to have a low amplification threshold.
Effect of molecular concentration on excitonic nanostructure based refractive index sensing and near-field enhanced spectroscopy
Authors: Dutta Arpan , Toppari J. Jussi
Published: July 2023

Organic thin film based excitonic nanostructures are of great interest in modern resonant nanophotonics as a promising alternative for plasmonic systems. Such nanostructures sustain propagating and localized surface exciton modes that can be exploited in refractive index sensing and near-field enhanced spectroscopy. To realize these surface excitonic modes and to enhance their optical performance, the concentration of the excitonic molecules present in the organic thin film has to be quite high so that a large oscillator strength can be achieved. Unfortunately, this often results in a broadening of the material response, which might prevent achieving the very goal. Therefore, systematic and in-depth studies are needed on the molecular concentration dependence of the surface excitonic modes to acquire optimal performance from them. Here, we study the effect of molecular concentration in terms of oscillator strength and Lorentzian broadening on various surface excitonic modes when employed in sensing and spectroscopy. The optical performance of the modes is evaluated in terms of sensing, like sensitivity and figure of merit, as well as near-field enhancement, like enhancement factor and field confinement. Our numerical investigation reveals that, in general, an increase in oscillator strength enhances the performance of the surface excitonic modes while a broadening degrades that as a counteracting effect. Most of all, this demonstrates that the optical performance of an excitonic system is tunable via molecular concentration unlike the plasmonic systems. Moreover, different surface excitonic modes show different degrees of tunability and equivalency in performance when compared to plasmons in metals (silver and gold). Our findings provide crucial information for developing and optimizing novel excitonic nanodevices for contemporary organic nanophotonics.

Published: July 2023

Purpose

The high prevalence of COVID-19 has had an impact on the Quality of Life (QOL) of people across the world, particularly students. The purpose of this study was to investigate the social, lifestyle, and mental health aspects that are associated with QOL among university students in Lebanon.

Methods

A cross-sectional study design was implemented using a convenience sampling approach. Data collection took place between November 2021 and February 2022, involving 329 undergraduate and graduate students from private and public universities. Quality of life was assessed using the Quality-of-Life Scale (QOLS). Descriptive statistics, Cronbach’s alpha, and linear regression-based methods were used to analyze the association between QOL and socio-demographic, health-related, lifestyle, and mental health factors. The significance level for statistical analysis was predetermined at α = 0.05.

Results

The study participants’ average (SD) QOL score was 76.03 (15.6) with a Cronbach alpha of 0.911. QOL was positively associated with importance of religion in daily decisions (β = 6.40, p = 0.006), household income (β = 5.25, p = 0.017), general health ratings (β Excellent/poor = 23.52, p <0.001), access to private counseling (β = 4.05, p = 0.020), physical exercise (β = 6.67, p <0.001), and a healthy diet (β = 4.62, p = 0.026); and negatively associated with cigarette smoking (β increased = -6.25, p = 0.030), internet use (β ≥4 hours = -7.01, p = 0.005), depression (β = -0.56, p = 0.002) and stress (β = -0.93, p <0.001).

Conclusion

In conclusion, this study reveals the key factors that positively and negatively influence students’ quality of life (QOL). Factors such as religion, higher income, and a healthy diet improve QOL, while depression, stress, excessive internet use, and cigarette smoking negatively impact it. Universities should prioritize initiatives like physical activity promotion, affordable nutritious options, destigmatizing mental health, counseling services, and self-help interventions to support student well-being and enhance their QOL.

Erythrodermic psoriasis (EP) is a rare form of psoriasis but has a high mortality and morbidity rate. The management of erythrodermic psoriasis includes prevention of complications and administration of immunosuppressant drugs such as methotrexate. This article reports the case of a 37-year-old man with complaints of red, scaly spots almost all over his body since the past month. Initially, the red spots only appeared on the right and left arms and legs. On dermatological examination found lesions on >90% of the patient's total body area in the form of erythematous patches, well-defined, irregular shape and covered with thick scales, there was onycholysis of the toenails, and the Karvslek phenomenon in the patient. Based on the history and physical examination, the patient was diagnosed with erythrodermic psoriasis with a PASI score of 60.2. The patient received oral methotrexate therapy 7.5 mg/week, folic acid once daily, cetirizine 10 mg twice daily, and topical therapy with desoximetasone cream 0.25%. Methotrexate is taken alternately with a single dose of 2.5 mg. Evaluation of patients at 1 month after therapy showed improvement in clinical symptoms with reduced subjective symptoms followed by a change in the PASI score to 45.8. Proper diagnosis and management as well as monitoring for side effects of medication can reduce morbidity and prevent complications from EP.

Investigate Spectroscopic Experimental and Theoretical Model for Hemoglobin Nanoscale Solution
Authors: Naif Hanan Auda , Abbas Asaad M. , Al-Kadhemy Mahasin Fadhil Hadi
Published: July 2023

In the current study, haemoglobin analytes dissolved in a special buffer (KH2PO4(1M), K2HPO4(1M)) with pH of 7.4 were used to record absorption spectra measurements with a range of concentrations from (10-8 to 10-9) M and an absorption peak of 440nm using Broadband Cavity Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy (BBCEAS) which is considered a simple, low cost, and robust setup. The principle work of this technique depends on the multiple reflections between the light source, which is represented by the Light Emitting Diode 3 W, and the detector, which is represented by the Avantes spectrophotomer. The optical cavity includes two high reflectivity  ≥99%  dielectric mirrors (diameter 25mm, radius of curvature 100mm) and a quartz cuvette  1 cm  to put the samples in the system. This system is also composed of some lenses, aires, and optical fibres to transfer the light from the light source to the optical cavity and after that to the detector. This setup is considered ~3-fold more sensitive when it is compared with another spectroscopic technique as it reduces the effect of noise due to fluctuations in the light intensity. Additionally, the theoretical study estimated the absorption spectra of the haemoglobin concentrations using Table Curve 2D software. The absorption spectra curve was fitted using a suitable curve-fitting equation for these spectra, which was represented by the Gaussian function. The similarity of the theoretical and practical spectra demonstrated that the estimated models can replace the experimental measurements, which leads to a reduction in the cost and time required for the absorption spectroscopy measurements
Evaluation of the Rate of En-masse Retraction in Orthodontic Patients with Maxillary Protrusion Using Friction versus Frictionless Mechanics: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Shibl Leena A. , Attia Amr M. , El-Beialy Amr R. , Mostafa Yehya A. , Dehis Heba M.
Published: July 2023

Background
The purpose of this 2-arm parallel study was to compare the rate of en-masse retraction using friction versus frictionless mechanics. Anchorage loss, molar rotation, changes in the incisor position, and pain was additionally assessed.
Methods
Twenty-eight patients were randomly allocated into two en-masse retraction groups using friction or frictionless mechanics. Eligibility criteria included maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion requiring maxillary 1st premolars extraction with maximum anchorage. Randomization was done in a 1:1 allocation ratio into either friction (A) or frictionless (B) groups. In group A, power-chains of 200 g retraction force on 0.017” x 0.025” st.st archwire were utilized. Group B comprised of T-loops using the same gauge TMA archwires and comparable force. Measurements were made on scanned 3D models, superimposed on one another, as well as pre-treatment and post-retraction cephalograms.
Results
It was a single-blinded study where the outcome assessors were blinded. For the friction group, the rate of retraction was 0.63 ± 0.18 mm per month, with a total retraction of 4.04 ± 1.41 mm spanning over 6.42 ± 1.08 months. The frictionless group was 0.75 ± 0.23 mm per month with a total retraction of 4.13 ± 1.44 mm, over 5.67 ± 1.5 months.
Conclusion
Frictionless mechanics was only slightly faster than friction mechanics regarding the rate of retraction, not enough to make a significant difference between the two groups. Frictionless mechanics is not recommended in cases with great anchorage needs, as the molars tend to move and rotate mesially during retraction, regardless of the presence of miniscrews.

Feeding habits of the invasive Atlantic blue crab Callinectes sapidus (Decapoda, Brachyura, Portunidae) in a temperate European estuary
Authors: Jiménez Elena Ortega , Cuesta Jose A. , Laiz I. , González-Ortegón Enrique
Published: July 2023

The Atlantic blue crab, native from the east coast of the American continent, is a portunid, estuarine crab that has been recently considered invasive in many areas of the European and African continents, being cited in the Guadalquivir estuary in 2017 for the first time. The feeding habits of the Atlantic blue crab were studied as predictor of food web interactions and potential impacts in the study area. Depending on the availability of food,C. sapiduscan adapt to a diverse resource utilization in the Guadalquivir estuary. The main consumed preys were fish, molluscs, and crabs, but they also consumed sediments and vegetation, although in smaller quantities and with a lower frequency. Diet composition was very generalist, and no seasonal or sexual effects were detected. However, diet seems to be more diverse in summer, while in winter blue crabs seem to switch trophic strategies to cannibalism or scavenging on fishing discarded nets. In addition, sexual dimorphism of chela and different spatial distribution seem to diverge the diet composition between males and females during the different sampled seasons. This requires the establishment of many diverse trophic interactions between the Atlantic blue crab and the native food web, which could lead to future impacts on the native community. Consequently, we believe that prey monitoring and control over this non-native species should be considered a priority for the management and conservation of the Guadalquivir estuary. Other methodological approaches as laboratory experiments and feeding habits predictors should be considered as future studies to better describe the trophic behaviour in the wholeC. sapidusspecies.

Abstract

Traditional game is a game that is played simply, which contains noble values originating from its predecessors. Dexterity is a mandatory skill in playing traditional games, because in general traditional games are carried out outdoors or in open fields which require body movements from the players. Therefore, there is a need for a movement to preserve traditional games for the younger generation, seeing that currently children and adolescents prefer games that are accessed virtually which results in laziness in moving and social interaction among the younger generation.

Used to the immediacy of the cyberspace, theater artists around the world have sought ways to stay relevant in a reality that de-mands increasingly complex visual stimuli. Far from being replaced by audiovisual productions, theater seeks its own identity among the vast film library in streaming services. On the other hand, with the advent of repressive political correctness in the media, the stage runs the risk of entertainment becoming polarized, regardless of the position it comes from. The main characteristic of live productions is the exchange among an audience eager for new incentives, that is the «actor/spectator inter-action». This article explores this «actor/spectator interaction» with the techno-interaction provided by virtual reality tools, thus conditioning a performance into an uncompromising digital piece, providing the audi-ence with the necessary distance to express its opinion, without falling into alienation.
«PAR A QUE SE REPRESENTE ESTA COMEDIA APARENTE QUE HACE EL HUMANO SENTIDO»: REPRESENTAR LA COMEDIA HOY PAR A QUE NO SE OLVIDE EL AYER
Authors:   Hanover College, Rodríguez Villar Alejandra Juno
Published: July 2023

Outside of festivals, the Comedia as a Golden Age cultural product is at risk of becoming an uprooted element in contemporary cul-ture. There are several phenomena against its integrated survival: the deconstruction of the concepts of “own” and “canonical,” the new gener-ations’ lack of identification, and the ethical and aesthetic processes of reworking and proximation. We propose here a didactic and informa-tive task that brings comedy (closer to its original conception) to general audiences through the creation of films in higher education institutions. As part of an educative digital humanities and public humanities proj-ect, these films would integrate an accessible repository of films based on comedies, facilitate interdisciplinary teaching, and provide the edu-cator with expressive means to teach and show the Comedia beyond the paper, in addition to providing students with experience-based learning.

Manusia sebagai makhluk sosial memiliki otoritas dan kebebasan untuk melakukan apa yang diinginkannya. Manusia juga berusaha memberikan kreativitas dan inovasi sesuai dengan kemampuannya. Hal ini diharapkan dapat memberikan manfaat bagi masyarakat setempat. Manusia dilahirkan sebagai pemimpin untuk mengatur segala sesuatu yang baik dan benar di bumi. Hak kebebasan dalam mengatur juga harus sesuai dengan porsinya agar tidak menyimpang jauh dari cita-cita atau tujuan. Selain itu hidayah merupakan salah satu gerbang awal bagi manusia untuk selalu mensyukuri dan menerima apa yang telah Allah berikan. Hal ini karena hidayah merupakan petunjuk bagi umat manusia yang diharapkan dapat diterima oleh manusia dengan ikhlas dan tanpa paksaan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kepustakaan (literary study). Sumber data diambil oleh penulis dari buku, jurnal, kitab suci, dan referensi lain yang relevan. Kebebasan manusia dan bimbingan adalah satu kesatuan yang tidak dapat dipisahkan. Keduanya terkait dalam tindakan sehari-hari. Kebebasan manusia tidak terlepas dari tuntunan Allah SWT. ada dua hal yang sangat penting dan bermanfaat yaitu nilai kemanusiaan dan nilai qonaah.

Seiring dengan munculnya ide-ide pembaruan pendidikan agama dan atas dukungan pemerintah, sebagian lembaga pendidikan keagamaan yang beragam tersebut bersentuhan dengan metode pendidikan klasikal modern yang berprogram.Tidak hanya orang tua yang berperan penting dalam pendidikan anak, tetapi guru sebagai pendidik juga menjadi bagian penting dalam proses menghafal doa anak. Penelitian ini menjelaskan mengenai implementasi metode drill and practice di DTA Nurun Ni’mah. Tahap pelaksanaan metode drill and practice di DTA Nurun Ni’mah yaitu tahap persiapan, tahap pelaksanaan, dan tahap evaluasi pembelajaran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metode drill and practice memberikan dampak yang signifikan terhadap hasil hfalan siswa meskipun tidak semua siswa mampu menghafal dengan baik. Tetapi penerapan metode ini membantu guru agar lebih mudah meaksanakan proses pembelajaran menghafal doa. Kelebihan metode drill and practice yang diterapkan di dta nurun ni’mah adalah membantu memperkuat ingatan jangka panjang siswa, memberikan pengulangan yang terus-menerus terhadap materi atau keterampilan yang dipelajari. Sedangkan kelemahannya adalah siswa hanya menghafal atau mengulang tanpa benar-benar memahami konsep atau prinsip yang mendasarinya,  dan menyebabkan kejenuhan pada siswa.

A large body of evidence indicates that women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have a higher risk of developing Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) than healthy individuals. Given the strong genetic impact on both diseases, common predisposing genetic factors are possibly involved but are not fully understood. Here, we performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) for 250 women with sporadic PCOS, HT, combined PCOS and HT (PCOS+HT), and healthy controls to explore the genetic background of the joint occurrence of PCOS and HT. Based on relevant comparative analyses, multivariate logistic regression prediction modeling, and the most informative feature selection using the Monte Carlo feature selection and interdependency discovery algorithm, 77 variants were selected for further validation by TaqMan genotyping in a group of 533 patients. In the allele frequency test, variants in RAB6A, GBP3, and FNDC7 genes were found to significantly (padjusted < 0.05) differentiated the PCOS+HT and PCOS groups, variant in HIF3A differentiated the PCOS+HT and HT groups, whereas variants in CDK20 and CCDC71 differentiated the PCOS+HT and both single disorder groups. TaqMan genotyping data were used to create final prediction models, which differentiated between PCOS+HT and PCOS or HT with a prediction accuracy of AUC = 0.78. Using a 70% cutoff of the prediction score improved the model parameters, increasing the AUC value to 0.87. In summary, we demonstrated the polygenic burden of both PCOS and HT, and many common and intersecting signaling pathways and biological processes whose disorders mutually predispose patients to the development of both diseases.
