Published: July 2020

Background: Access to and use of digital technology are more common among people of higher socioeconomic status. These differences might be due to a lack of interest, not having physical access or having lower intentions to use this technology. By integrating the digital divide approach and the User Acceptance of Information Technology (UTAUT) model, this study aims to further our understanding of socioeconomic factors and the mechanisms linked to different stages in the use of individuals’ electronic health records (EHR): motivations, intentions and physical access to patients EHR.Methods: A cross-sectional online and in-person survey was undertaken in the areas of Lorraine (France), Luxembourg, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland (Germany), and Wallonia (Belgium). First, exploratory factor analysis was performed to group items derived from the UTAUT model. Next, we applied linear and logistic regressions controlling for country-level heterogeneity, health and sociodemographic factors.Results: A total of 829 individuals aged over 18 completed the questionnaire. We found evidence of socioeconomic inequalities in the access to and use of EHR. Education and income played a significant role in individual’s desire to access their EHR. Being older than 65 years, and migrant, were negatively related to the desire to access EHR. An income gradient was found in having a physical access to EHR, while for the subgroup of respondents who expressed desire to have access, higher educational level was positively associated with intentions to regularly use EHR. In fully adjusted model testing the contribution of UTAUT-derived factors, individuals who perceived EHRs to be useful and had the necessary digital skills were more inclined to use their EHR regularly. Social support and lack of anxiety in using technology were strong predictors of regular use of EHR.Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of considering all stages in the use of EHR (desire, physical access, and regular use), while paying special attention to migrants and people with lower socioeconomic backgrounds who may not be able to exploit the potential of EHRs. As EHR use is expected to come with health benefits, facilitating access and regular use for those less inclined could lead to increases in health equity.

ObjectData on the characteristics and related factors of fungal empyema thoracis (FET) are limited. Our aim is to investigate the clinical characteristics and related factors of FET.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective study of patients with positive culture from pleural effusion who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between January 2007 and January 2018. The clinical and laboratory characteristics of all study participants were collected. Logistic regression models were used to assess the related factors of FET.ResultsThere were 30 patients diagnosed with FET. The median age of patients with FET was 62.7 years old and 24 (80.0%) were male. The most frequent pathogens of FET were Candida albicans (55.9%). Diabetes mellitus (23.3% vs. 7.9%, P = 0.019) and upper gastrointestinal tract perforation or rupture (20.0% vs. 2.1%, P < 0.001) were associated with increased risk of FET. The adjusted odds ratios (95% confident interval) were 3.11 (1.02–9.56) for diabetes mellitus and 12.71 (3.47–46.55) for upper gastrointestinal tract perforation or rupture. There were 10 deaths (33.3%) among FET patients after one-year of follow-up.ConclusionsDiabetes mellitus and upper gastrointestinal tract perforation or rupture were associated with increased risk of FET.

Published: July 2020

Background: Sleep disturbances are common in patients with schizophrenia, with serious consequences. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and clinical correlates of insomnia symptoms, and to explore the relationship between insomnia and inflammatory markers in Chinese patients with chronic schizophrenia. Methods: A total of 328 inpatients with chronic schizophrenia were recruited. Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS), and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) were used to assess the severity of insomnia, depression, and psychotic symptoms. The plasma levels of several inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α) were measured.Results: The prevalence of insomnia symptoms in patients with schizophrenia was 38.4%. Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with insomnia symptoms (OR = 1.23, 95%CI: 1.13-1.33, P < 0.001). Higher CDSS score (beta = 0.55, t = 8.21, P < 0.001) and older age (beta = 0.06, t = 3.59, P < 0.001) were significantly associated with higher ISI score, while taking a single SGA (beta = -0.85, t = -1.99, P < 0.05) was independently associated with lower ISI score. There was no significant association between any inflammatory markers and insomnia or ISI score.Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that the prevalence of insomnia symptoms is high in Chinese inpatients with chronic schizophrenia. Some demographic and clinical variables, such as depressive symptoms and older age, are risk factors, while others are beneficial factor, such as taking atypical antipsychotic drug for insomnia in schizophrenia patients. No association has been found between insomnia symptoms and inflammation.

The present study measures management of flash flood to avoid the devastating impacts on boro rice production at Sunamganj district. This study interacts for meteorological parameter assessment with global climate data. Three major climatic parameters (precipitation, temperature and cloud fraction) have been considered for this study. These three climatic data were analyzed using numerical software EdGCM for the period 1920 to 2020 and then downscaled by Transform software. Flash floods have been classified as general flash floods and devastating flash flood. Flash floods have been reported to be severe in March and April. A trend was evaluated for the detection of flash flooding occurrences. The study concludes that when temperature is high, a small amount of rainfall can cause a slight cloud fraction to cause flooding. Flash flooding occurs when temperature is above 76oF(24.44oC), rainfall is at least 3 mm and cloud fraction is at most 46%. Furthermore, for validation Mann-Kendall trend analysis have been done. The test result discovered increasing trend for rainfall and decreasing trend for temperature and cloud fraction. Finally, an algorithm was developed in C++ program as a flash flood precaution tool which helped to prepare strategy as well as to adapt with the flash flood.

Chive gnat (Bradysia odoriphaga) is a soil-borne pest of Chinese chives, which causes millions of dollars in yield losses per year. Traditional methods, such as chemical pesticides leave detrimental chemical residues on plants, which potentially threaten human health. To find a sustainable method of reducing the chive gnat, the authors evaluated the effects of waterlogging and the addition of entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) on reducing chive gnat in Chinese chives via three pot experiments and one field demonstration. Results indicated that increasing the duration of waterlogging markedly increases chive gnat mortality. The presence of EPN also caused chive gnat mortality to increase with exposure time. Most importantly, the combination of waterlogging and EPN had synergistic effects on chive gnat mortality; the combination led to higher mortality than using waterlogging and EPN alone. The study demonstrated that a combination of two environmental friendly methods of fungus gnat control could lead to synergistic effects, which may provide novel approaches to economic and environmentally sustainable pest management measures.

Authors: Tan Xian , Yu Yang , Duan Kaiwen , Zhang Jingbo , Sun Pingping , Sun Hui
Published: July 2020

Anticancer drug screening can accelerate drug discovery to save the lives of cancer patients,
but cancer heterogeneity makes this screening challenging. The prediction of anticancer drug sensitivity
is useful for anticancer drug development and the identification of biomarkers of drug sensitivity. Deep
learning, as a branch of machine learning, is an important aspect of in silico research. Its outstanding
computational performance means that it has been used for many biomedical purposes, such as medical
image interpretation, biological sequence analysis, and drug discovery. Several studies have predicted
anticancer drug sensitivity based on deep learning algorithms. The field of deep learning has made progress
regarding model performance and multi-omics data integration. However, deep learning is limited
by the number of studies performed and data sources available, so it is not perfect as a pre-clinical approach
for use in the anticancer drug screening process. Improving the performance of deep learning
models is a pressing issue for researchers. In this review, we introduce the research of anticancer drug
sensitivity prediction and the use of deep learning in this research area. To provide a reference for future
research, we also review some common data sources and machine learning methods. Lastly, we discuss
the advantages and disadvantages of deep learning, as well as the limitations and future perspectives regarding
this approach.

Authors: Ahmed Hanan S. , Nsrallah Ayman A.M. , Abdel-Fatah Azza H. , Mahmoud Amira A. , Fikry Abeer A.
Published: July 2020

Background:

Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) gene mutation leads to a change in enzyme built
structure resulting in the anti-TPO autoantibodies production that may cause thyroid destruction.

Aim:

To evaluate the association of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the TPO gene
and anti-TPO levels in Egyptian patients with autoimmune hypothyroidism and correlate them with the
disease severity.

Methods:

Two hundred patients with newly discovered autoimmune hypothyroidism were included in
the study (100 with subclinical hypothyroidism and 100 of them with overt hypothyroidism) and 100
healthy individuals as a control group were genotyped by PCR-REFLP.

Results:

The TT genotype of rs2071400 C/T and the T allele were significantly more frequent in patients
with subclinical hypothyroidism and overt hypothyroidism than in the control group. But there were no
significant differences in the TT genotype and T allele between subclinical and overt hypothyroidism
patients. As regards TPO rs732609 A/C polymorphism, the CC genotype of rs732609 A/C and the C
allele were significantly increased in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism and overt hypothyroidism
than in controls. There was a significant difference in the CC genotype and C allele between subclinical
and overt hypothyroidism patients. Concerning TPO rs1126797 C/T polymorphism, there were no
significant differences of genotype or allele frequencies between patients groups and control group.

Conclusion:

We found an association of rs2071400 C/T and rs732609A/C polymorphisms with autoimmune hypothyroidism and correlated anti-TPO levels with different genotypes in hypothyroid patients. Also, we found an association of rs732609A/C polymorphism with the disease severity.
A Deep Convolutional Neural Network Based Approach for Effective
Neonatal Cry Classification
Authors: Vincent P.M. Durai Raj , Ashwini K
Published: July 2020

Background:

The cry is the universal language for babies to communicate with others. Infant cry classification
is a kind of speech recognition problem that should be treated wisely. In the last few years, it has been gaining its
momentum which will be very helpful for the caretaker.

Objective:

This study aims to develop infant cry classification system predictive model by converting the audio signals
into spectrogram image then implementing deep convolutional neural network. It performs end to end learning process
and thereby reducing the complexity involved in audio signal analysis and improves the performance using optimization
technique.

Method:

A time frequency-based analysis called Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) is applied to generate the
spectrogram. 256 DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) points are considered to compute the Fourier transform. A Deep
convolutional neural network called AlexNet with few enhancements is done in this work to classify the recorded infant
cry. To improve the effectiveness of the above mentioned neural network, Stochastic Gradient Descent with Momentum
(SGDM) is used to train the algorithm.

Results:

A deep neural network-based infant cry classification system achieves a maximum accuracy of 95% in the
classification of sleepy cries. The result shows that convolutional neural network with SGDM optimization acquires
higher prediction accuracy.

Conclusion:

Since this proposed work is compared with convolutional neural network with SGD and Naïve Bayes and
based on the result, it is implied the convolutional neural network with SGDM performs better than the other techniques.

Authors: Zhang Zuopeng , Cao ZanFeng , Deng Fangge , Yang Zhanzheng , Ma Sige , Guan Qianting , Liu Rong , He Zhuosen
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

Upper respiratory tract infection is a common disease of the respiratory system. Its incidence is very high, and it can even cause pandemics. Infrared thermal imaging (IRTI) can provide an objective and quantifiable reference for the visual diagnosis of people with acute respiratory tract infection, and it can function as an effective indicator of clinical diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE

The aims of this study are to observe and analyze the infrared expression location and characteristics of patients with acute upper respiratory tract infection through IRTI technology and to clearly express the quantification of temperature, analyze the role of IRTI in acute upper respiratory tract diagnostic research, and understand the impact of IRTI in qualitative and quantitative research.

METHODS

From December 2018 to February 2019, 154 patients with acute upper respiratory tract infection were randomly selected from the emergency department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. Among these patients, 73 were men and 81 were women. The subjects were divided into two groups according to the presence of fever, namely, fever and nonfever groups. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the infrared thermal images were performed to compare the results before and after application of the technology.

RESULTS

Using the method described in this paper, through the analysis of experimental data, we elucidated the role of IRTI in the diagnosis of acute upper respiratory tract infection, and we found that qualitative and quantitative IRTI analyses play important roles. Through the combination of theory and experimental data, the IRTI analysis showed good results in identifying acute upper respiratory tract infection.

CONCLUSIONS

IRTI technology plays an important role in identifying the infrared expression location and characteristics of patients with acute upper respiratory tract infection as well as in the quantification of clear expression of body temperature, and it provides an objective and quantifiable reference basis for elucidating the pathogenesis of these patients.

BACKGROUND

to CUT the spread of COVID 19

OBJECTIVE

to prevent catching Covid 19

METHODS

Gargling with EDTA solution

RESULTS

Very Encouraging

CONCLUSIONS

Dear Scientist

General Subject: Compiling the outcome of various Scientific Researches to CUT Covid 19

Scientific Subject: Manipulating ACE 2 to CUT the entry of Covid19

Solution to eliminate the spread of Covid 19 can range from the most complex process which is the discovery of safe effective vaccine to a simplest of Scientifically accredited process as elucidated below.

1) Research has very recently clearly identified that Covid 19 can enter a human body only by attaching itself with Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 shortly spelled as ACE 2.

2)Research has, a decade ago, again identified that ACE 2 is a Zinc metalloprotease enzyme having Zinc at it's core.

3) Research has, several decades ago, very clearly identified Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid ( EDTA ) to be one of the safest and amongst the most powerful of of sequesters that help bind metals including Zinc.
EDTA has and continues to be the product of Choice when it comes to cure a person affected with metal poisioning, in a well known process known as Chelation therapy.

4)Latest Research has revealed that the inner lining of nose, the tongue and the throat to contain vast numbers of ACE 2.

SOLUTION:

Simply smearing a 1% EDTA Solution in the inside of one's nose and gargling one's mouth with 1% EDTA Solution will ensure that the Zinc in the ACE 2 gets simply plucked and knocked out.

Without the Zinc, the ACE 2 is no more an active ACE 2 but merely an inactive (dead) part component of the erstwhile ACE 2, and can NO MORE bind with the Covid19.

This in essence helps CUT the entry of Covid19 into the human body as the ACE 2 has been effectively eliminated at the POINT of ORIGIN and without the ACE 2 at the entry, Covid 19 has LOST it's ONLY KEY to enter.

Request to kindly make note that my proposal helps eliminate ACE 2 only at the ENTRY POINT.

ACE 2 is found in abundance in plenty in heart, lungs, kidney, testis etc and that should help take care of it's beneficial role in the body, if any.

My biggest puzzle that remains unanswered is as to why the Scientific or Administrative community FAIL to recognize and recommend this simplest of a Solution to help CUT the spread of coronavirus.

Request you to immediately help enable support by making our society to start adopting this simple process to prevent the entry of Covid19 and in helping save precious LIVES.

Please also pass on this simple Scientifically accredited solution all those whom you know such that the Frontline warrior's who handle Covid 19 patients specifically and the community at large can be protected before the advent of vaccine.

In case of requirement of detailed Scientific evidence, please correspond back.

Published: July 2020

Esta imagen es un esfuerzo por retratar y visualizar nuestra sociedad más allá de las estructuras que la componen; somos nuestros sueños, esperanzas, expectativas y emociones. Como lo expresa Maria Jesús Buxó (1999), «la visualidad se implica en las fronteras ambiguas de lo visible y de lo invisible, de lo que se puede ver y de lo que no se puede ver, de lo que al verse no significa, de pasar de la representación literal al amplio campo de la experiencia, las evocaciones y los juegos metafóricos» (p. 12).

Una lectura vertical de esta imagen nos permite identificar tres niveles, lo etéreo, lo social y lo icónico, la jerarquización de su importancia dependerá de su observador y le dará elementos de reflexión sobre lo que somos, lo que nos compone, hacia donde vamos y lo que nos identifica como miembros de una cultura y sociedad. Cabe anotar que «Analizar la visualidad de una cultura determinada es mostrar los diferentes elementos visuales que la forman» (Renobell, 2005, p. 3). Esta fotografía es entonces una invitación a descubrir esos elementos que nos forman, a considerar lo intangible, a especular sobre lo que no se ve, a repensar lo que hay detrás del aquel muro, y a meditar sobre lo que creemos y que nos define como seres sociales.
La estética como fuente del despertar de las ciencias en Charles Darwin
Authors: Lapoujade María Noel
Published: July 2020

En el presente artículo propongo una nueva perspectiva sobre Charles Darwin, necesaria porque los estudios académicos encasillan su pensamiento en un espíritu pura y exclusivamente científico e ignoran las vertientes estéticas y poéticas las cuales afloran a lo largo de sus obras. El tema se desarrolla en la frontera de la Filosofía y la Psicología. La estética funge como articulación de estas dos ramas del conocimiento, a través de las experiencias estéticas en el seno del funcionamiento lógico de la mente de Darwin.El método parte de las premisas de la investigación. Con base en el propósito y en las premisas en las que se fundamenta el artículo, el tema recorre: primero, el Diario del viaje de un naturalista alrededor del mundo (1831-1836), segundo evidencia la presencia del Diario en El origen de las especies por medio de la selección natural (1859). La conclusión ratifica el sentido de los epígrafes, como claves del sentido del paper.
Restoring meaning: Self-uncertainty increases subjective distance between the past and present self
Authors: Yang Qing , Ybarra Oscar , Zhao Yufang , Huang Xiting
Published: July 2020

Based on the meaning maintenance model and temporal self-appraisal theory, we conducted 2 experiments with Chinese college students to test how self-uncertainty salience affected the subjective distance between the past and present self. We manipulated uncertainty salience and asked
participants to explicitly (Study 1) or implicitly (Study 2) indicate their subjective distance. Participants in both studies increased the subjective distance when uncertainty was made salient. In addition, this effect was moderated by dispositional self-esteem in Study 2, with participants
with low self-esteem reporting greater subjective distance than did high self-esteem participants after uncertainty-salience priming. These findings suggest that the process of appraising the past self may help individuals deal with feelings of uncertainty about the present self.

MAZHAB FIQH DALAM PANDANGAN SYARIAT ISLAM (Mengkritisi Pendapat Mewajibkan Satu Mazhab)
Authors: Hadi Muhammad Yusran
Published: July 2020

ABSTRAK

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan kedudukan mazhab Fiqh dalam Islam dan hukum bermazhab. Banyak persoalan yang timbul akibat ketidakpahaman persoalan mazhab seperti sikap taqlid, fanatisme mazhab dan pendapat mewajibkan suatu mazhab tertentu. Akibatnya, timbul perpecahan dalam ummat Islam hanya gara-gara berbeda mazhab. Lebih ekstrim lagi, hanya karena berbeda dengan mazhabnya atau doktrin ulamanya, maka al-Quran dan Haditspun ditolak. Istilah â€œmazhabâ€ tidak dikenal pada masa para sahabat, tabiâ€™in dan tabiâ€™ tabiâ€™in. Mazhab-mazhab muncul setelah masa ketiga generasi awal tersebut yaitu pada abad kedua Hijriah. Masa ini dikenal dengan periode imam-imam mujtahid. Namun, para imam tidak mewajibkan mazhab mereka untuk diikuti. Bahkan mereka memerintahkan para murid dan pengikut mazhabnya untuk mengikuti dalil. Istilah â€œmazhabâ€ menjadi semakin populer pada pertengahan abad ke empat, karena para ulama pengikut mazhab (muqallidin) mengfokuskan diri dalam mengembangkan dan menyebarkan mazhab imamnya masing-masing. Mereka meninggalkan ijtihad dan bertaqlid kepada imam-imam mazhab empat. Menurut mereka, pintu ijtihad telah tertutup. Maka mereka mewajibkan taqlid kepada imam atau mazhab tertentu dan tidak boleh berbeda darinya. Sejak masa inilah pemikiran dan keilmuan umat Islam mengalami kemunduran. Kondisi ini mendapatkan kritikan tajam dari para ulama besar seperti Imam Addabusi Al-Hanafi, Imam Ibnu Hazm (wafat 456 H), Imam Ibnu Abdi al-Bar (wafat 463 H), al-Hafizh Ibnu al-Jauzi (wafat 597), Imam â€˜Izzuddin bin Abdissalam (wafat 660 H), Imam Abu Syamah (wafat 665 H), Imam Nawawi (wafat 676), Syaikhul Islam Ibnu Taimiyyah (wafat 728 H), Imam Ibnu al-Qayyim (wafat 751 H), Imam asy-Syatibi (wafat 790 H), Imam Sayuthi (wafat 911) dan para tokoh ulama lainnya. Mereka mengecam taqlid para ulama dan menyerukan mereka untuk berijtihad. Tulisan ini menyimpulkan bahwa mazhab adalah pendapat para ulama mujtahidin yang tidak maâ€™shum. Mazhab merupakan madrasah dalam belajar syariat. Mazhab bukan syariat yang mutlak kebenarannya dan wajib diikuti. Mengikuti syariat (al-Quran dan as-Sunnah) hukumnya wajib. Adapun mazhab tidak wajib. Taqlid terhadap imam atau mazhab tertentu haram bagi seorang mujtahid. Kewajiban bagi ulama dan penuntut ilmu ittibaâ€™ dalil. Kewajiban orang awam adalah bertanya kepada ulama mazhab siapapun tanpa harus terikat dengan ulama tertentu. Ia tidak wajib mengikuti mazhab tertentu dalam segala persoalan dan secara terus menerus, namun boleh berpindah dari satu mazhab ke mazhab lainnya sesuai dengan dalil.

Sponsoring Institution Interests, Not National Plans, Shape Physician Workforce in the United States
Authors: Rittenhouse Diane R. , Ament Alexandra S. , Grumbach Kevin
Published: July 2020

Background and Objectives: Graduate medical education (GME) determines the composition and distribution of the physician workforce in the United States. Federal and state governments heavily subsidize GME but in most cases do not tie subsidies to national or state physician workforce goals. As a result, GME sponsoring institutions (eg, teaching hospitals, schools of medicine, federally qualified health centers) decide how many and what type of physicians to train. The objective of this study was to better understand the factors that influence decision-making by sponsoring institutions.
Methods: Between May and December 2018, we interviewed 35 national or state GME policy leaders and an additional 26 GME leaders from a purposive sample of four sponsoring institutions. We analyzed interviews following a conventional content analysis approach to identify emergent themes.
Results: When considering investing in GME, we found that sponsoring institutions do not consider national or statewide workforce recommendations. Instead, they weigh multiple factors of concern to their institution, including public GME subsidies, market competition, potential clinical revenues, academic stature, local workforce demands, as well as their own organization’s mission/culture, staffing, financial reserves, educational leadership, teaching resources, and size.
Conclusions: Unless and until the incentives for sponsoring institutions are strongly aligned with national and state physician workforce priorities based on public need, progress on creating a more balanced physician workforce will not occur.

The Missing Page: Place as Palimpsest and ‘Foil’
Authors: Jeremy Bubb
Published: July 2020

In this exposition, I analyse the making of The Missing Page, a short film I shot in 2016 (and completed much later, in 2018) in response to the disappearance of my mother, Dorothy, from her home for over twelve hours; she was later diagnosed with dementia. This exposition reflects on the key stages of the project: establishes the aims of the film and its inspirations; the nature of the exploratory research, which took place on location at my parent’s home; and the conclusions I drew. I also review my working methods and discuss influences such as slow cinema and defamiliarization, identifying the importance of narrative, ethnographic methods, sound design, the notion of ‘space’, ‘place’, and palimpsest in shaping my thoughts, and the progress of the making of the film.
