The Table to Tablet (T2T) Speech and Language Therapy Software Development Roadmap (Preprint)
Authors: Jesus Luis MT , Santos Joaquim , Martinez Joana
Published: January 2019

BACKGROUND

Few studies have analyzed gains in using computers in speech and language therapy interventions for children with speech and/or language disorders when compared to a control group, but virtual tutors and computer-based visual feedback have been gaining interest in the literature. Previous systematic reviews mainly focused on development technological details of computer-based speech training systems or the potential of integrating mobile technology into education and rehabilitation, but recent systematic reviews have also evaluated the efficacy of computer-based speech and language therapy for children and how digital technology can support different activities, at school or elsewhere.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to analyze a continuous communication and joint team approach to develop solutions focused on the real needs of end users, which digitally emulate reliable and validated physical intervention materials for children with speech sound disorders (SSD).

METHODS

The Table to Tablet (T2T) software was developed using a design-based research methodology, which included four phases: activities development; ethnographic pretesting with a sample from the target population; software development; and beta-testing. The technology used to develop the software, the method used to ensure satisfaction and replay ability of the intervention materials, and results from the ethnographic and beta-testing phases are presented.

RESULTS

Nineteen activities were developed during the first phase, which were then tested, with 7 service users, using a physical prototype. The beta-test approach included extensive testing and reformulation, supported by direct, nonparticipant observation and data collection using a questionnaire designed for children. Feedback was used to improve the software and interaction with users.

CONCLUSIONS

The use of T2T-based intervention programmes by speech and language therapists (SLTs) will allow these professionals to make a better and more effective communication intervention, based on proven methodologies, that coexists in a structured physical and a digital version. These versions provide a full, 6-week intervention program, with minimal effort in preparing the session by the SLTs while delivering a very consistent intervention, with high replay value. A continuous communication and joint team approach was beneficial to the project and to the development of a solution focused on the real needs of SLTs and children with SSD. All problems were approached as a team with different skills and expertise, which minimized errors (eg, the developer making choices that would save him from spending time doing something that would not be used) and time spent. To add to this, the importance of integrating the end users as testers and collecting their opinions and actions per session allowed the production of better-targeted activities.

Secure and Scalable mHealth Data Management Using Blockchain Combined With Client Hashchain: System Design and Validation (Preprint)
Authors: Motohashi Tomomitsu , Hirano Tomonobu , Okumura Kosuke , Kashiyama Makiko , Ichikawa Daisuke , Ueno Taro
Published: January 2019

BACKGROUND

Blockchain is emerging as an innovative technology for secure data management in many areas, including medical practice. A distributed blockchain network is tolerant against network fault, and the registered data are resistant to tampering and revision. The technology has a high affinity with digital medicine like mobile health (mHealth) and provides reliability to the medical data without labor-intensive third-party contributions. On the other hand, the reliability of the medical data is not insured before registration to the blockchain network. Furthermore, there are issues with regard to how the clients' mobile devices should be dealt with and authenticated in the blockchain network in order to avoid impersonation.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of the study was to design and validate an mHealth system that enables the compatibility of the security and scalability of the medical data using blockchain technology.

METHODS

We designed an mHealth system that sends medical data to the blockchain network via relay servers. The architecture provides scalability and convenience of operation of the system. In order to ensure the reliability of the data from clients' mobile devices, hash values with chain structure (client hashchain) were calculated in the clients' devices and the results were registered on the blockchain network.

RESULTS

The system was applied and deployed in mHealth for insomnia treatment. Clinical trials for mHealth were conducted with insomnia patients. Medical data of the recruited patients were successfully registered with the blockchain network via relay servers along with the hashchain calculated on the clients' mobile devices. The correctness of the data was validated by identifying illegal data, which were made by simulating fraudulent access.

CONCLUSIONS

Our proposed mHealth system, blockchain combined with client hashchain, ensures compatibility of security and scalability in the data management of mHealth medical practice.

The effect of the implementation of a good medical practice booklet on nursing home residents’ drug prescriptions: a difference-in-differences analysis based on data from electronic pill dispensers (Preprint)
Authors: Sanchez Stéphane , Payet Cécile , Herr Marie , Dazinieras Anne , Blochet Caroline , Armaingaud Didier , Chrusciel Jan , Novella Jean-Luc , Mahmoudi Rachid
Published: January 2019

BACKGROUND

The elderly are particularly exposed to adverse events from medication. Among the various strategies to reduce polypharmacy, educational approaches have shown promising results.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to evaluate the impact of the implementation of a good medical practice booklet on polypharmacy in nursing homes.

METHODS

We identified nursing homes belonging to a geriatric care provider that had launched a policy of proper medication use using a good medical practice booklet delivered to prescribers and pharmacists. Data were derived from electronic pill dispensers. The effect of the intervention on polypharmacy was assessed with multilevel regression models, with a control group to account for natural trends over time. The main outcomes were the average daily number of times when medication was administered and the number of drugs with different presentation identifier codes per resident per month.

RESULTS

96,216 residents from 519 nursing homes were included between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2014. The intervention group and the control group both decreased their average daily use of medication (-0.05 and -0.06). The good medical practice booklet did not have a statistically significant effect (exponentiated difference-in-differences coefficient 1.00, 95% confidence interval 0.99-1.02, P=.45).

CONCLUSIONS

Although the good medical practice booklet itself did not seem effective in decreasing medication use, our data show the effectiveness of a higher-level policy to decrease polypharmacy.
A Dual-Pronged Approach to Improving Heart Failure Outcomes: A Quality Improvement Project (Preprint)
Authors: Johansson Marcia , Athilingam Ponrathi
Published: January 2019

BACKGROUND

Presently, 6.5 million Americans are living with heart failure (HF). These patients are expected to follow a complex self-management regimen at home. Several demographic and psychosocial factors limit patients with HF in following the prescribed self-management recommendations at home. Poor self-care is associated with increased hospital readmissions. Under the Affordable Care Act, there are financial implications related to hospital readmissions for hospitals and programs such as the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) in Pinellas County, Florida. Previous studies and systematic reviews demonstrated improvement in self-management and quality of life (QoL) in patients with HF with structured telephone support (STS) and SMS text messaging.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of STS and SMS on self-care, knowledge, medication adherence, and QoL of patients with HF.

METHODS

A prospective quality improvement project using a pre-post design was implemented. Data were collected at baseline, 30 days, and 3 months from 51 patients with HF who were enrolled in PACE in Pinellas County, Florida. All participants received STS and SMS for 30 days. The feasibility and sustained benefit of using STS and SMS was assessed at a 3-month follow-up.

RESULTS

A paired t test was used to compare the mean difference in HF outcomes at the baseline and 30-day follow-up, which demonstrated improved HF self-care maintenance (t 49=0.66; P=.01), HF knowledge (t 49=0.71; P=.01), medication adherence (t 49=0.92; P=.01), and physical and mental health measured using Short-Form-12 (SF-12; t 49=0.81; P=.01). The results also demonstrated the sustained benefit with improved HF self-care maintenance, self-care management, self-care confidence, knowledge, medication adherence, and physical and mental health (SF-12) at 3 months with P<.05 for all outcomes. Living status and social support had a strong correlation with HF outcomes. Younger participants (aged less than 65 years) performed extremely well compared with older adults.

CONCLUSIONS

STS and SMS were feasible to use among PACE participants with sustained benefits at 3 months. Implementing STS and SMS may serve as viable options to improve HF outcomes. Improving outcomes with HF affects hospital systems and the agencies that monitor and provide care for outpatients and those in independent or assisted-living facilities. Investigating viable options and support for implementation will improve outcomes.

Authors: Mesk Zeenat , Abdul Manaf Rosliza , Juni . Muhamad Hanafiah , Shahar Hayati Kadir , Nazan Ahmad Iqmer , Amro Akram Abd Alrahman
Published: January 2019

BACKGROUND

Urinary incontinence (UI) is a condition which common and is closely linked to child delivery. Females who have delivered are most the vulnerable group to develop UI compared to the one who are yet. The former are thus advised to do PFME (pelvic floor muscle exercise) throughout the before delivery and after so that one can retain or enhance functionality of pelvic floor muscle and lower the occurrence of UI. According to International Continence Society, these practices are usually the initial stage during UI treatment. They play crucial role in reducing and curing UI, though, its effectiveness is pegged on the PFME constant repetition

OBJECTIVE

This study’s aim is to create, put into practice and examine a theoretical involvement via social network to lower UI after child delivery in health centers in Hebron city.

METHODS

A randomized controlled test which is two-arm will be used to collect data in Al-Ahli outpatient clinic in Hebron city from postpartum women admitted. The participants will be grouped randomly into two categories: (1) a group acting as a control and (2) a group of intervention who for 6 months will take part in involvement plus at 3 and 6 months follow-up to analyze adherence and UI severity. The major result of this research is the severity of UI while adherence to pelvic floor exercises is the secondary results.

RESULTS

the expected outcome will be increase the practice of PFME and reduce of severity of urinary incontinence.

CONCLUSIONS

The outcome of this research will define the extent of success of intervention in controlling and lowering UI amongst women in postpartum stage. On condition that the intervention is confirmed operational, it will be applied to efficiently serve patients who are suffering or possible to experience UI and therefore lowering the UI occurrence and the related expenses during treatment of severe problem.

Unveiling the quotidiane life of young university students who conciliate study and work
Authors: Borges Regina Célia , Chalfin Coutinho Maria
Published: January 2019

Este estudio evidencio cómo jóvenes estudiantes de una universidad pública brasileña, estudiantes-trabajadores o trabajadores-estudiantes, concilian estudio y trabajo en sus vidas cotidianas. En Brasil, ésta es una combinación regular de actividades. La investigación fue realizada a partir de miradas interdisciplinarias; desde la psicología socio-histórica y desde la perspectiva helleriana acerca de la vida cotidiana. En el escenario contemporáneo del trabajo hay cambios que afectan a todos los trabajadores, especialmente a los jóvenes. En el escenario educacional, las universidades también viven transformaciones en un contexto global. Siguiendo una metodología cualitativa se entrevistó, en tres encuentros, a diez jóvenes universitarios. El análisis de las entrevistas dio lugar a dos núcleos de significancia.

El primero es sobre las trayectorias profesionales y educacionales: entre incertidumbres y expectativas de doble vida. Aspiran a la obtención de un diploma,

así como ven en la conciliación estudio-trabajo oportunidades para ampliar la inserción profesional y futuros ascensos. En el segundo núcleo, sobre la vida cotidiana e historias estudiantiles, los hallazgos han denotado que en sus vidas diarias los jóvenes se expresan con comportamientos “cristalizados” y “dominados” por el tiempo o por el discurso de su falta, siendo éste uno de los nuevos “instrumentos” del capital para la captura de personas en el siglo XXI. Se considera que el manejo en la forma de vivir, principalmente, no es eliminar las rutinas, sino ser conscientes de ellas, y construir un “mundo” individual consciente frente a las tareas heterogéneas diarias.

Published: January 2019

Shade-trees with energy use in coffee plantations are an important alternative to increase profitability in groforestry systems. The aim of this study was to investigate gross calorific value (GCV) of 15 shade-tree species in coffee plantations in Costa Rica. The relationships between specific gravity and extractives content on GCV was evaluated. The results revealed that GCV varied from 15.9 to 21.9 MJ kg-1 for sapwood, and from 15.3 to 21.9 MJ kg-1 for heartwood. No consistency was observed regarding to relation of type of wood (sapwood orheartwood) and GCV. The highest GCV value was found in Pinus caribaea for sapwood and heartwood. However Cupressus lusitanica, presented high GCV in sapwood too. The lowest values were found in Schizolobium parahyba in sapwood and Zygia longifolia and Eucalyptus globulus in heartwood. Carbon content (C) and carbon/nitrogen ratio (C/N ratio) and extractives in sodium hydroxide and dichloromethane were correlated with GCV in sapwood and heartwood. Meanwhile extractives in hot water were correlated in heartwood, and nitrogen content (N) and extractives in cool water were too correlated in sapwood.

Cocoa butter is an intermediate product of cocoa processing separated from cocoa nibs or cocoa mass. Heat through cocoa processing affect the characteristic of fat including roasting process. The aim of this experiment is to evaluate the characteristic changes and sensory profile of cocoa butter in different operational roasting temperature. This experiment was conducted in Postharvest Laboratory of Indonesian Coffee and Cocoa Research Institute using dry cocoa bean from Glenmore estate in Banyuwangi (G) and from Kaliwining estate in Jember (K) in grade A according to standard of SNI 2323:2008/Amd1:2010 with moisture content of 7.5% originated from Trinitario bean and roasting temperature 120OC (T1) and 150OC (T2). Cocoa butter characteristic evaluated based on yield of separated fat, saponification, free fatty acid, peroxide value, colour and its melting profiles. Flavour description evaluated by sensory test using native panelist. Result shows nosignificant difference between roasting temperature but shows difference in appearance and flavour profile. Yield of separated fat is 35.95% per cocoa mass weight, saponification value is 193.36, free fatty acid is 0.72 and peroxide value 2.96 comply to the national standard of commercial butter. Cocoa butter appearance in T2 shows more intense of red colour than T1. Roasting temperature T1 and T2 enhance the chocolaty and nutty flavour but T2 shows burnt off-flavour for bean of Kaliwining (K). Melting point cocoa butter is 36.63OC and qualified as hard cocoa butter.

A vertigem dos corpos: violência, suplício e poder
Authors: Ribeiro Tadeu
Published: January 2019

Este texto propõe um olhar sobre imagens contemporâneas que suscitam noções de corpo, violência, suplício e poder. Se a crise da representação insere no campo visual um tensionamento da figura humana, tem-se elaborado um intenso debate acerca da vulnerabilidade e marginalização dos corpos – através de movimentos identitários e contraidentitários, da decolonialidade e de conceitos como biopolítica e necropolítica. O texto parte de poéticas contemporâneas, propondo ferramentas para pensar esses corpos atravessados pela violência; imagens que evocam a vertigem de corpos que, mesmo quando não visíveis, permanecem incomodamente presentes.
Tunga: estrutura de uma poética
Authors: Cesário Wellington
Published: January 2019

Este texto trata da constituição estrutural da poética de Tunga. O objetivo é expor a lógica de sua produção plástica. A partir da análise de um certo número de obras, procuramos verificar o modo como o artista compõe seu jogo poético. Percebe-se que ele desenvolveu um vocabulário plástico próprio e recorrente, mas por vezes de sentido ambíguo. Sua produção artística assume diversas formas, mas à fisicalidade de sua obra ele integra uma imagética advinda de narrativas enigmáticas, formando uma engrenagem de associações no campo simbólico. Enfim, seu trabalho é crítico e nos incita a refletir sobre a conexão fundamental entre ser e mundo.

Fronteiras e compartilhamentos
Authors: Geraldo Sheila Cabo
Published: January 2019

Para atravessar a produção de João Modé, este ensaio considera o espaço de fronteira como ponto de origem. (BENJAMIN, 2006) Aqui a fronteira, seja geográfica, geopolítica ou simbólica, constitui um plano de exterioridades, para além dos limites – a linha de fronteira – e admite uma pluralidade de territórios, cujas identidades são sempre ultrapassadas. As fronteiras, como escreveu Deleuze (1994), são lugares de excesso, transbordamento e mutação. São zonas de deslizamentos e de alianças. Nessa topografia de correspondências e atravessamentos é que se constituem as comunidades flutuantes intercidades, em que predominam os compartilhamentos, especialmente no campo da arte e da cultura.
Dramaturgia no corpo
Authors: Braga Paola Secchin
Published: January 2019

O presente artigo tem por objetivo propor uma nova forma de dramaturgia para a dança, a dramaturgia no corpo. A partir dos conceitos de corporeidade (Michel Bernard) e estados do corpo (Philippe Guisgand), a autora propõe um novo caminho para a compreensão do corpo enquanto criador de ficções em dança. A corporeidade dançante é vista como o lugar onde o conhecimento é processado e ela se torna o locus da produção de sentido. A introdução do espectador nesta equação se torna primordial, pois o sentido do gesto dançado somente é concretizado no momento em que há interação entre performer e espectador.

Camp from within: Life stories of refugees from the Balkan route
Authors: Pajvancic–Cizelj Ana
Published: January 2019

The paper presents selected results of qualitative research conducted in 2017
in refugee camps in Sid by using the observation, life stories and
interviews. By relying on authors such as Agier (2011), Turner (2015),
Feldman (2015) and Sanyal (2013), we proceed from the idea that refugee camps
should be seen just as the places of ?bare life? and biopolitics (Agamben,
2013) but also as spaces in which identities and social relations are
actively reproduced and transformed, expressing the subjectivity of refugees.
In this way it is possible to identify not only the boundaries, the
peculiarities and internal rules of closed institutions such as camps, but
also the ways in which they are ?opened up?, challenged, reproduced,
multiplied and transformed through refugee practices. This study indicates
that refugee camps are a) heterogeneous sites with many physical, social and
mental, fluid and relative borders; b) transformative sites where many
different, intertwined regimes are transformed through refugee practices and
c) sites of social transition where refugees reconstruct their lost
identities and social relationships.
Teacher education and career cycle: Educational level and pathways effects in Serbia and Greece
Authors: Marusic-Jablanovic Milica , Pejatovic Aleksandra , Stemberger Tina
Published: January 2019

Given the importance of teachers? work and effectiveness, the authors have
chosen to study how the teachers? education determines their vocational
behavior in terms of enthusiasm and growing and career frustration in Serbia
and Greece. They examined the significance of education level and education
pathway in mutual interaction and in interaction with intrinsic motivation of
career choice. The study used survey methodology. The questionnaire was
administered to a convenience sample of 213 secondary school teachers. The
results indicate that career characteristics do not differ with respect to
the level of formal education and the authors conclude that transit to the
world of work can be made after the bachelor level, when the bachelor program
includes adequate pedagogical preparation. The effect of education pathway
interaction with intrinsic motivation was significant in the sample of Greek
teachers. Teachers, who had undergone more thorough preparation for teaching,
have developed their job attitudes independently from their career choice
motivations. The lesser significance of initial motivation for teaching is
interpreted as a possibility to compensate for lower levels of motivation by
developing teaching competences, i.e. facilitating self-efficacy through
teacher training. No evidence of teacher preparation effects was found in the
Serbian sample, indicating that teachers educated according to the old system
pathways cannot be expected to achieve different job attitude.

Published: January 2019

Background. The improvement of treatment tactics for nosocomial pneumonia in patients with burn and inhalation trauma is a relevant issue due to the frequency of this complication, which develops at any stage of treatment and aggravates the course of the underlying disease.

Aim of study. To evaluate the effectiveness of extremely high frequency therapy (EHFT) in the complex treatment of pneumonia in patients with burn and inhalation injury.

Material and methods. The results of extremely high-frequency therapy (EHFT) was compared, studying 23 burn patients with complex EHFT and 30 patients without EHFT.

Results. EHFT reduces the signs of endogenous toxemia, as evidenced by a statistically significant decrease in elevated concentrations of dead leukocytes in venous blood from 147-106/L (98; 363-106/L) to 81.8-106/L (72; 150-106/L) (p=0.041, Wilcoxon test) on day 6-8 (after 5-6 procedures), whereas in the comparison group, on the contrary, an increase in the dead cells from 121-106/L (66; 210-106/L) up to 137.4-106/L (116; 207-106/L) was observed. When comparing this indicator in two groups on day 6-8 from the onset of pneumonia, a statistically significant difference was found (p=0.021, Mann-Whitney). The term of managing pneumonia in patients receiving EHFT was significantly shorter than in the comparison group, 18 (13; 23) versus 21 (18; 27) days (p=0.020, Mann-Whitney).

Conclusion. EHFT reduced intensity of endogenous toxicosis and inflammation, approaching pneumonia relief for 3 days.
The ultrasound study of the optic canal for detecting raised intracranial pressure (a literature review and critical analysis)
Authors: Andreytseva M. I. , Petrikov S. S. , Khamidova L. T. , Solodov A. A.
Published: January 2019

Intracranial hypertension (ICH) is a frequent and serious complication that occurs in pa-tients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and nontraumatic brain damage. Persistent ICH significantly worsens the prognosis of the disease course and increases the risk of adverse outcomes. In this regard, one of the main tasks of intensive care of patients with intracranial bleeding (ICB) is diagnosis and timely management of ICH. The gold standard is invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring. The advantages of direct measurement of ICP include accuracy and continuity of registration. The disadvantages are the invasiveness of the method, high cost, the risk of developing infectious and hemorrhagic complications and possible dislocation of sensors. It is necessary to search for a method of non-invasive assessment of the level of ICH most correlated with the data of direct measurement of ICP. Ultrasonography of the optic nerve structures can be such an alternative cheap way to assess ICP. Its advantages are the possibility of repeated dynamic use, no need for surgical intervention, simplicity and high accuracy of measurement. However, the results obtained with ultrasound vary, since this method is operator dependent and requires precise adherence to the technique of the study. When the optic nerve ultrasound is performed, a contact gel for ultrasound examinations is applied to the anterolateral surface of the closed upper eyelid, and a scanning plane is displayed behind the eyeball for visualization in the central part of the ultrasound image of the optic nerve, lens and retina. To visualize the vertical course of the ophthalmic artery (and the vertical course of the optic nerve), the color flow Doppler mode is used. The study includes measuring the diameter of the optic nerve and the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD). There is subarachnoid space with cerebrospinal fluid between the optic nerve and its sheath. With an increase in intracranial pressure, the expansion of this space occurs, ONSD grows as well. This article contains an analysis of the literature describing the anatomy of the optic nerve and various ultrasound techniques, as well as data from various authors on the threshold value of the optic nerve sheath diameter.

The study discusses the fact of granting autoceph-aly to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church by the Patri-arch of Constantinople as a political move aimed at aggravating Russian-Ukrainian relations at the pre-sent stage. The authors note the following reasons for this decision: the struggle of Constantinople and Moscow for primacy in the Orthodox world, the ge-opolitical factors in Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the role of the USA as a destabilizing factor in Rus-sian-Ukrainian relations, an appeal of the President of Ukraine P. Poroshenko to Ukrainian autocephaly issue as a key point in his election program in terms of low public approval rating. Based on sociological data, the research examines the spiritual and reli-gious influence of the Ukrainian Orthodox churches opposing the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, i.e. the Ukrainian Auto-cephalous Orthodox Church, the Ukrainian Ortho-dox Church of the Kiev Patriarchate, and the Ukrain-ian Uniate Church. In conclusion, the study presents two possible development scenarios: Polish (the autocephalous church will later return to the Rus-sian Orthodox Church) and Lithuanian ones (the spiritual confrontation of churches will develop against the background of aggravating geopolitical contradictions in the region).
