Breve análisis de la concentración de la potencia de minado en Bitcoin
Authors: Llases Luis
Published: May 2022

Bitcoin es una red informática descentralizada que permite el envío de valor entre sus usuarios. Para ello se utiliza una unidad de cuenta intercambiable y fraccionable denominada bitcoin. La característica principal de este sistema es que no necesita de una unidad central que lo administre, funciona mediante un sistema de incentivos que asegura que una serie de usuarios denominados mineros actúen de tal manera que las transacciones puedan realizarse de forma segura. Básicamente, estos mineros compiten entre ellos por añadir nuevas transacciones al libro contable, para lo que deben resolver un problema matemático establecido por el sistema. Para hacerlo deben consumir una serie de recursos (hardware informático, electricidad, etc.) con los que generan una potencia de procesamiento con que resolver el problema matemático. Como pago por el gasto que realizan los mineros reciben una recompensa en forma de nuevos bitcoins minados y de comisiones de los usuarios.

Es condición necesaria para que la red sea segura el que la actividad minera permanezca descentralizada. Sin embargo, en los últimos años se ha observado un aumento de la concentración de la potencia de procesamiento. Dada la importancia de esta cuestión para la criptomoneda, este trabajo ha tratado de entender cuáles han sido las razones de la concentración y si pueden considerarse como tendencias que seguirán operando a largo plazo. El trabajo concluye que la reducción de las recompensas de los mineros y las economías de escala han sido las principales causantes de la concentración y que al menos la primera de dichas causas seguirá operando en el largo plazo.
The effect of storage conditions on the microstructure of sterilized canned meat
Authors: Kuznetsova Tatyana , Krylova Valentina , Gustova Tatyana
Published: May 2022

The article presents the results of studies of changes in the microstructure of the meat system as a whole and its protein component during freezing, subsequent defrosting, and storage of canned meat. Microstructural analysis of the prototypes showed the presence of several types of destruction of muscle fibers, loosening of collagen fiber bundles, and the formation of multiple cavities due to the action of ice crystals. The main components of sterilized canned meat had new characteristics after thawing, such as decreased transverse striations of muscle tissue fibers, loosening of myofibrils, changes in the size and shape of sarcomeres, violation of sarcolemma integrity, and multiple fiber fragmentation with the formation of a fine-grained protein mass. Freezing did not lead to a decrease in the content of the high-molecular-weight protein fraction of the nitrogen system, the ratio of the peptide fraction content to the residual nitrogen remained equal to 5.2. However, the ratio of non-protein nitrogen to total nitrogen decreased by 1.8 times due to the destruction of low-molecular-weight nitrogen under the action of ice crystals. The dynamics of the eh values of control and experimental canned food samples during storage indicated the loss of oxidative stability of the protein system of the samples subjected to freezing. Based on the results, we would like to recommend that logistic organizations sort and confirm canned meat safety and quality requirements after thawing in the case of unforeseen circumstances.

Authors: Little Christian
Published: May 2022

Se presenta una sistematización de la información contenida en una serie de trabajos que estudian, a escala de parcelas, el efecto que tienen los bosques nativos y las plantaciones forestales de especies exóticas sobre balance hídrico en la zona centro-sur de Chile. Se establecen algunas relaciones entre las características de dichos ecosistemas boscosos y algunos componentes de la redistribución de las precipitaciones, las cuales dan cuenta de una heterogeneidad de situaciones y resultados. Se entregan algunos antecedentes sobre la eficiencia de las plantaciones de Pinus radiata en el uso del agua para la producción de madera, la cual refleja la importancia de la dinámica de la vegetación en el ciclo productivo y su interacción con el clima y el suelo. Se concluye sobre la importancia de distinguir los resultados para interpretar adecuadamente el efecto de la cobertura boscosa sobre el balance hídrico y la necesidad de abandonar las comparaciones entre bosques nativos y plantaciones forestales en base a una conceptualización genérica de éstos. Lo anterior permitirá develar la vocación de uso los territorios, reconociendo que la heterogeneidad ambiental en la cual se desarrollan los ecosistemas boscosos representan una oportunidad para avanzar en desarrollo del sector forestal y los nuevos desafíos de la investigación aplicada en hidrología forestal.

Authors: Pinilla Suárez Juan Carlos , Luengo Vergara Karina , Navarrete Torres Mauricio , Navarrete Ulloa Felipe
Published: May 2022

La búsqueda de opciones eficientes de manejo forestal para especies de rápido crecimiento es una de las líneas de trabajo del Instituto Forestal, investigando opciones en especial para rodales de pequeños y medianos propietarios forestales. La capacidad de retoñación y crecimiento de los retoños de Eucalyptus globulus generan una opción en este sentido, por lo que se presentan antecedentes de rodales de Eucalyptus globulus manejados como monte bajo en la Región del Biobío, en las comunas de Cañete y Copiulemu.
A los 6 años, los rodales logran entre 8 y 19 metros de altura y diámetros de 5,9 a 12,5 cm, cifras similares a lo reportado para Eucalyptus globulus originados por semillas creciendo en las mismas condiciones. Se observan valores de 1.320 a 2.500 árboles por hectárea, en una situación de uno o dos retoños por tocón. Las parcelas con un retoño presentan DAP, altura y volumen mayores con respecto a las parcelas con manejo de dos varas. En cuanto a volumen, se proyecta que este puede alcanzar de 140 a 270 m3/ha a los 13 años. Ello es un indicar del comportamiento de este tipo de rodales, dependiendo de las condiciones de sitio, características del rodal y manejo realizado.
Se recomienda la mantención de las unidades experimentales para aumentar la base de datos de trabajo, abarcando, además, otras áreas geográficas.

Patagonia chilena en grandes cifras
Authors: Barros Asenjo Santiago
Published: May 2022

La Patagonia es una extensa región del extremo austral de Sudamérica, en Chile abarca desde la provincia de Palena al sur, cubriendo una superficie de 25,6 millones de hectáreas (33,8% de la superficie nacional), y en Argentina desde las provincias de Neuquén y Rio Negro al sur cubriendo una superficie de 78,8 millones de hectáreas (28,5% de la superficie del país). El extremo sur de la Cordillera de Los Andes divide a esta gran región geográfica en Patagonia Occidental al oeste y Patagonia Oriental al este. Es así una superficie total de 104,4 millones de hectáreas entre los océanos Pacífico y Atlántico. La Patagonia chilena, pese a su gran extensión territorial y a disponer de más del 50% de la superficie de bosques nativos del país, presenta un muy escaso desarrollo forestal, la agricultura es marginal debido a las rigurosas condiciones climáticas y la principal actividad es la ganadería extensiva de bovinos y ovinos. La población de la Patagonia alcanza solo al 1,6% de la población del país. La Patagona chilena cuenta 35 de las 106 unidades del Sistema Nacional de Áreas Silvestres Protegidas del Estado, y concentra 13,8 de los 18,6 millones de hectáreas administrados por este sistema (74% del área total del sistema). Sin embargo, la Patagonia presenta también grandes extensiones de suelos forestales desarbolados y bajo intensos procesos erosivos, como producto de grandes incendios forestales del pasado, y dispone solo del 1% de los 2,3 millones de hectáreas de plantaciones forestales del país.

 

Entre los grandes potenciales de desarrollo de esta extensa área geográfica del país se cuentan sin duda el turismo, ya de cierto desarrollo, basado en la abundancia de ríos, lagos, parques nacionales, glaciares, navegaciones por los canales y otros grandes atractivos, y el desarrollo forestal sobre la base del manejo forestal sostenible de sus importantes recursos capaces de entregar maderas de muy buena calidad.

Authors: Tabosa Julia Cavalari , Silva Aline Custódio , Borghetti Giovanna Sulzbacher , Magnino Fabiano Silva
Published: May 2022

A termografia foi criada nos anos 60 e aprimorada para os moldes atuais a partir da década de 90, quando surgiram as imagens por infravermelho. A avaliação termográfica é feita por meio de um sensor que demonstra graficamente os padrões térmicos da superfície da pele, bem como a simetria da temperatura entre os lados do corpo e a distribuição dessa. Nesse sentido, a termografia possibilita a análise de processos fisiológicos e sinaliza possível is lesões corporais. Por tal motivo, esse método está sendo utilizado cada vez mais em áreas da medicina, por exemplo, na medicina do esporte, em reabilitações, doenças vasculares, neuropatias, procedimentos pré, intra e pósoperatórios, bem como na reumatologia, para acompanhamento de patologias como a Síndrome da Dor Miofascial. Além disso, também é útil na reabilitação, no direcionamento e acompanhamento terapêutico, além da detecção precoce do risco de câncer de mama. O presente estudo expõe as principais vantagens do uso da termografia no âmbito médico, principalmente por ser um método não-invasivo e de fácil aplicabilidade, além de discorrer sobre o uso específico nas diversas patologias citadas previamente.

Clinical Significance of Serum CD14 and Its Polymorphism as a Biomarker of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Authors: Amin Mona A. , Ragab Halla M. , Maksoud Nabila Abd El , Elaziz Wafaa Abd
Published: May 2022

Background: Liver inflammation is deliberated a risk factor for the ongoing liver damage including non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatoma. CD14, an effectual mediator for the monocytes activation, has been postulated as a marker of liver inflammation and fibrosis. This study is constructed to detect the alterations in the CD14 serum levels in 40 NAFLD cases and 14 healthy controls along with to analyze the role of CD14 polymorphisms in the causation and severity of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Liver enzymes, glycated hemoglobin, together with lipid profile were estimated in all included subjects. The diagnosis of NAFLD depends largely on ultrasonography. NAFLD fibrosis score and FIB-4 score were calculated. Serum CD14 was quantified by EnzymeLinked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and C14-159C/T SNP was genotyped via Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLP). Results: Serum CD14 was markedly higher in the diabetic subjects either lean or overweight/obese than the controls (P<0.05). Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve showed that the optimum cutoff for CD14 was 2.97 ng/ml for discriminating NAFLD patients from their healthy counterparts with a sensitivity of 76.3% and specificity of 78.6%. There was no discrepancy in the prevalence of CD14 genotypes among NAFLD cases and controls. Moreover, the frequency of the CD14 genotypes was analogous in NAFLD patients with NFS≤0.676 and patients with NFS>0.676 (P=1.000). Conclusion: The former observations advocate the potential role of CD14 in both the pathogenesis and progression of NAFLD. Yet, it didn't correlate with the NFS, consequently it couldn't forecast the severity of the disease. Furthermore, no association was distinguished linking CD14 C-(159) T polymorphism and the risk of NAFLD occurrence.
Arabic-English Subtitling of Collocations: The Case of the World Government Summit Held in the UAE
Authors: Alsaadi Alya Abdullah , Rababah Ghaleb
Published: May 2022

This paper reports the findings of a study that investigates the difficulties the subtitlers of the World Government Summit face, and the strategies they use to solve these problems in translating Arabic collocations into English. The corpus consisted of 321 collocations collected from the Arabic speeches of the World Government Summit speeches held between 2016 and 2017. The Arabic collocations were selected from eight Arabic speeches and checked for their accuracy and frequency by using Sketch Engine tool. The results of the study showed that the subtitlers encountered some problems while translating the Arabic collocations into English. These problems include the lack of equivalence in the target language, the tendency of Arabic language to repeat and amplify, the ability to render the meaning of idiomatic collocations, marked collocations in the source text, and religious and culture-specific collocations. In addition, the results revealed that the subtitlers used several translation strategies in translating the Arabic collocations into English and the most frequent strategy used by the subtitlers was equivalence and the least frequent strategy was generalization. The study concludes with some implications for translators, subtitlers, and translation students.
Importance of Sphaeroceridae family as accelerators of the putrefaction process, nutrient recycling and in its association with the cadaveric decomposition process (Insecta: Diptera)
Authors: Carlos Henrique Marchiori
Published: May 2022

The family is recognized for participating in the decomposition process of all kinds of organic material, being able to be polysaprophagous or specialists. They found each other in some of their life phases feeding on resources such as: fungi feces of various animal’s carcasses of invertebrates and carcasses of vertebrates. Despite their diverse biology, their medical and economic importance is not relevant, being potential mechanical transmitters of pathogens. They are pests in cheese industries, reducing the sanitary standards of manufacturing. There are also reports of intestinal miiase and damage to the cultivation of mushrooms. Carrion-feeding species are useful post mortem interval indicators in Forensic Entomology. This mini review aims to verify the importance of Sphaeroceridae as accelerators of the putrefaction process, nutrient recycling and its association with the cadaveric decomposition process. To this end, a bibliographic survey of Sphaeroceridae was carried out in the years 1955 to 2021. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented at national and international scientific events were considered. Data were also obtained from platforms such as: Academia.edu, Frontiers, Qeios, Pubmed, Biological Abstract, Publons, Dialnet, World, Wide Science, Springer, RefSee and Microsoft Academic.
Cooperative Federalism and the Clean Water Act: Implementation in Minnesota and North Dakota
Authors: Hearne Robert
Published: May 2022

The primary policy instrument for promoting and regulating surface water quality in the United States is the Clean Water Act. Under a system of cooperative federalism, the implementation of this policy involves state and federal agencies. This article will review current controversies over the Clean Water Act, including the definition of the “waters of the USA,” and the use of narrative ambient water quality standards. The case studies of North Dakota and Minnesota are enlightening because they have distinct economies with different water management priorities. Minnesota demonstrates that local demands for water quality can lead to extra effort and innovation. North Dakota continues to be more concerned with water quantity issues and flood mitigation. Despite states’ efforts to manage water quality to suit their own needs, interstate water quality concerns, especially excess nutrients, remain a concern.
Understanding Agricultural Producers' Willingness to Undertake Self-Monitoring of Environmental Outcomes: Results of a Choice Experiment with Colorado Agricultural Producers
Authors: Loomis John , Gascoigne William
Published: May 2022

If society wishes to move agricultural conservation programs from “paying for conservation practices” to “paying for environmental performance,” then monitoring will be required. Little is known about farmers’ willingness to participate in self-monitoring. Therefore, a choice experiment survey was designed to estimate participation in soil sampling for the purpose of calculating soil carbon. Results indicate that participation increases with payment levels, education level, acres owned, the belief that information from the soil carbon analysis will favor agriculture, and off-farm employment. Participation decreases with years the producer must commit to ($200/year), number of samples to be collected ($100/sample), and the age of the producer. At low payment levels ($50–100/year), even collecting a few samples elicited only 16% participation. At $2500/year, 80% would participate even though it required collecting more samples. These results suggest that farmers would participate in simple monitoring programs with payment levels independent of the monitoring data results. But these conditions pose real world challenges for actual pay-for-performance monitoring.
Spatial Externalities in Aquifers with Varying Thickness: Theory and Numerical Results for the Ogallala Aquifer
Authors: Peterson Jeffrey M. , Saak Alexander E.
Published: May 2022

This article studies the divergence in the planning and equilibrium solutions for a multicell aquifer with heterogeneity in cell depths. A spatial model is developed that accounts for the lateral movement of water between cells. The optimal steady state of this problem is compared with the competitive equilibrium steady state. Studying the steady state conditions in the two outcomes allows the nature of the spatial externalities to be characterized and reveals the effects of varying cell depths. In a two-cell specification of the model, closed-form expressions are derived for the difference in optimal steady state water table elevations between the two cells. The two-cell model is then applied numerically to quantify the spatial externalities and asymmetry effects in Sheridan County, Kansas, which overlies the Ogallala aquifer. Simulated welfare losses in this model are relatively large and are sensitive to the asymmetry in cell depths.
A Coupled Human–Natural Systems Framework of Community Resilience
Authors: Maxwell Keely
Published: May 2022

This article compares and contrasts resilience frameworks to identify commonalities and gaps. It proposes use of a coupled human–natural systems framework (CHNS) to analyze community resilience to disasters. CHNS builds on the human ecosystem model, which analyzes how institutions and social order shape fluxes and flows of resources between and within social and environmental systems. It expands on the model by including anthropological concepts of culture, agency, power, and discourse. The framework covers environmental and social legacies, predisaster trends and conditions, resilience measures, and system changes provoked by a disaster. The article proposes 11 categories of variables that affect resilience and discusses research steps for putting the framework into action. The CHNS framework can be used to predict system changes and identify resilience measures that allow communities to articulate and achieve their resilience goals.
Developing Disaster: Power, Structural Violence, Insurance-Linked Securities, and the International Political Economy of the Disaster Politics Nexus
Authors: Pasch Korey
Published: May 2022

This article presents an alternative framing of disasters as a form of structural violence resulting from the unequal distribution of structural power between various groups, organizations, institutions, and states in the contemporary global political economy. The article utilizes a theoretical framework that combines Johan Galtung’s typology of violence and Susan Strange’s conceptualization of structural power to open up new space for analysis in the disaster politics nexus. The article applies its framework to explore how an understanding of disasters as a form of violence problematizes trends within mainstream disaster risk reduction (DRR) policies. Specifically, the article examines the integration of financial risk-sharing mechanisms into the disaster politics nexus through new public–private partnerships between insurance and reinsurance firms, international financial institutions, and governments to transfer catastrophic risk to global capital markets. The article seeks to repoliticize these changes and bring questions of power back into the larger conversation surrounding DRR policies.

Authors: Kahar Fitriani , Wikandari Ririh Jatmi
Published: May 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic is still engulfing several parts of the world. This pandemic has an impact on all spheres of people's lives such as health, economy, education and others. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused behavioral changes in society which have made people more concerned about hygiene and health. New habits that occur include wearing masks, washing hands and avoiding crowds. The knowledge possessed by students is often not in line with the student's life behavior or vice versa. During this pandemic, the learning carried out is distance learning so that students cannot see directly the activities carried out by students. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between knowledge and COVID-19 prevention behavior applied by students. This type of research is a quantitative research with a cross sectional design. The sample in this study were students of Medical Laboratory Technology Expert, Department of Health Analyst, Poltekkes Kemenkes Semarang, totaling 323 people. In this study, an online questionnaire was used as a data collection tool, with the data analyzed descriptively (univariate analysis) followed by a bivariate analysis with the person correlation test which was presented in the form of a frequency table accompanied by a narration.

Published: May 2022

Numerous strategies are utilized to think about micro-organism communities that are prevalent in the intestine of human being. Until several ages back, strategies based upon culture were the essential implies of considering microscopic organisms and main focus of these strategies was to understand the connection of microbes with each other and their surroundings. Human microbiome within the body can be found most prevalently in human milk & human intestine. Human microbiome can also be used for comparison of human mother’s milk, mother’s feces, and infant’s feces in human. Moreover, urine sample of non-pregnant women shows a distinct variation from pregnant women’s microbiome. As the microbiome constitution within the body remains steady & varies along with nation or society, thus this data can be used in forensic investigation to narrow down the profiling of a diseased person.

Published: May 2022

Thyroid diseases are instigated due to disparity in production of hormones –TSH, T4 and T3. Most of the patients of thyroid dysfunction go untreated due to late detection or no detection at all. Machine learning based models for detection of thyroid diseases offer a significant assistance to healthcare. The medical history of the patient supplies the features required by machine learning based classification and prediction models for thyroid dysfunction. The aim of this research paper is to acquire a classification model based on machine learning techniques for assessment of euthyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism among males, females, and children. Different machine learning classification algorithms such as naïve bayes, decision tree, random forest and logistic regression are used for classification of real data. The accuracy of each of the techniques has established using metrics like precision, recall, specificity and sensitivity. A thyroid dataset has been retrieved from two hospitals in Haryana from January 2020 to July 2020 to train the proposed model. The dataset comprises of medical history of 539 thyroid patients including children, men, and women of various ages. Out of 539 patients screened, 163 have irregular TSH, 138 have prevalence of elevated TSH with 376 having minimal TSH elevation.

Agriculture is the most important factor in India for survival. Rainfall is the most critical factor for agriculture. A new approach for designing the network structure in a deep neural network (DNN) based forecasting model for rainfall prediction is presented. The number of atmospheric parameters determines whether the rain will fall. We suggest a systematic approach for analysing various parameters affecting rainfall in the atmosphere in addition to identifying seasonal and diurnal variables, the ground-based weather features Temperature, Relative Humidity, Dew Point, Solar Radiation, Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) are also identified, and a detailed feature correlation study is presented. Forecasting rainfall in non-monsoon sessions required input values of temperature, wind velocity, humidity, and cloud cover. Among the parameters used to evaluate results were MSE (mean square error), CCI (correlation coefficient), COE (coefficient of efficiency), and MAE (mean absolute error). By using the proposed approach, the proposed scheme establishes that deep learning (DL) can be effective in improving rainfall prediction quality, exploiting the potential of neural network (NN) in using a weather simulator. In terms of daily precipitation characteristics, this various model is applied to 12 different sites under various climatic reinforcements.

Background: organizational succession planning as a voluntary process to ensure continued leadership in key positions, maintain and develop spiritual capital and knowledge for the future, and encourage individuals to develop, stems from the overall human resource planning strategy. The concept of succession planning has entered the realm of organization and management for many years; In Iran, this concept is developed gradually and in line with the promotion of strategic planning models and the entry of strategic consultants into organizations, the emergence of succession planning and organizational mission, and the limited skilled workforces as well as the specialized nature of jobs. Therefore purpose of this study was to modelling succession in health-oriented sports in Iran through the grounded theory. Methods: This was qualitative research with the systematic grounded theory approach. The interviewees were selected by the purposive sampling method, while theoretical sampling was performed to identify the number of interviewees and the research path. Data were obtained through several interviews with health-oriented sports informants. After conducting 12 in-depth unstructured interviews, theoretical saturation was achieved. An open, axial, and selective coding overlap process was used to analyse the data.

Background: Atraumatic dental extraction preserves bone and maintains gingival architecture, thereby ensuring the option of replacement with implant supported prosthesis. The present study was conducted to compare the efficiency of arm force only versus arm force plus wrist movement during closed method extractions. Materials & Methods: 84 patients undergoing mandibular molar extraction of both genders were selected. Patients were divided into 2 groups. Each group comprised of 42 patients. In group I, interns used arm force only while in group II, interns used both arm force and wrist movement in extraction of mandibular molar. Parameters such as time taken for extraction, root fracture, bone plate facture, and adherence of buccal plate to the root were assessed. Results: Group I had 22 males and 20 females and group II had 18 males and 24 females. The mean time taken for extraction was 10.2 minutes in group I and 5.4 minutes in group II. The difference was significant (P< 0.05).
Opioid sparing multimodal analgesia enhances surgery recovery and reduces chronic postoperative surgical pain

MMA was one important component in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). MMA combines opioid and non-opioid medication through different routes and mechanisms of action and covers the whole perioperative period, thus minimizing opioid use and preventing chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP). There was consensus that MMA could avoid opioid overdose originated from poor acute post-surgical pain control with opioid-dominant pain management in the era of opioid epidemic.

Tanulmányunk célja annak bemutatása, milyen szerepet töltenek be a roma szakkollégiumok a hallgatók mindennapjaiban, és hogyan járulnak hozzá egyetemi beilleszkedésükhöz. Elemzésünkben a szakkollégisták perspektívájából mutatjuk be a szakkollégiumok erősségeit és gyengeségeit. Az elemzés során a szakkollégiumi hallgatókkal felvett életútinterjúkra (N=141) támaszkodtunk. A hallgatók a szakkollégiumok erősségei közül az anyagi segítséget, az identitás erősítését, a tanulásban való támogatást, a közösség erejét, valamint a kapcsolatháló szélesítését emelték ki. A szakkollégiumok gyengeségeként a túlterheltséget említették. A szakkollégiumok összességében számos olyan erőforrást biztosítanak a cigány egyetemistáknak, amelyek protektív tényezőként szolgálnak a lemorzsolódással szemben.

Self-reported vs electronically-recorded adherence to GH therapy
Authors: Alvarez Mynor , Guzmán Pablo , Graham Selina
Published: May 2022

Introduction: Adherence to the prescribed injection schedule is critical for the success of treatment of growth disorders with recombinant human growth hormone (r-hGH), so monitoring adherence is an important component of effective management.

Methods: We directly compared self-reported injection adherence data with data recorded from a digitally enhanced electromechanical injection device and software – the easypod™ connect system. Patients with an active easypod™ connect account were identified in seven Latin American countries. Participants completed a survey requesting data including recollection of the number of doses missed in the previous month. These data were compared with the electronically captured date, time, and dose administered by easypod™.

Results: Of 402 patients receiving r-hGH treatment, 337 (84%) had an active easypod™ connect account and 301 completed the survey. The self-reported adherence data showed that overall, patients or their parents/caregivers believed that their average rate of adherence was 90.5%, equivalent to missing approximately 33 doses a year, or one month of treatment. The easypod™ data showed that the average adherence rate was 80.9%, equivalent to missing 67 injections, or approximately 2 months of treatment, per year.

Conclusions: Our results show that patients over-estimate their own adherence by ~10%. This disparity between perceived and actual adherence represents approximately one month of missed injections a year, which is likely to lead to sub-optimal growth and clinical outcomes. Electronic monitoring with the easypod™ connect system appears to be an effective technique for identifying low adherence, providing HCPs with the opportunity of intervening to help patients improve their adherence.
