Occupational Health Needs and Predicted Well-Being in Office Workers Undergoing Web-Based Health Promotion Training: Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Tchir Devan Richard , Szafron Michael Lorne
Published: February 2020

Background

Office workers face workplace-related health issues, including stress and back pain, resulting in considerable cost to businesses and health care systems. Workplace health promotion attempts to prevent these health issues, and the internet can be used to deliver workplace health promotion interventions to office workers. Data were provided by Fitbase GmbH, a German company, which specializes in workplace health promotion via the internet (Web-based health). The Web-based health intervention allowed workers to focus on different health categories by using information modules (reading health information) and/or completing practical exercises (guided, interactive health tutorials).

Objective

This study aimed to identify the extent to which office workers have workplace-related health issues, assess whether office workers who differ in their health focus also differ in their improved well-being, and assess whether completing practical exercises is associated with improved well-being compared with reading information modules.

Methods

Fitbase GmbH collected data for the period of February 2016 to May 2017 from health insurance employees undergoing Web-based health training in Hamburg, Germany. The data consisted of a needs assessment examining health issues faced by office workers, a wellness questionnaire regarding one’s perception of the Web-based health intervention, and activity logs of information modules and practical exercises completed. Through logistic regression, we determined associations between improved well-being from Web-based health training and differences in a worker’s health focus and a worker’s preferred intervention method.

Results

Nearly half of the office workers had chronic back pain (1532/3354) and felt tense or irritated (1680/3348). Over four-fifth (645/766) of the office workers indicated that the Web-based health training improved their well-being (P<.001). Office workers who preferred practical exercises compared with information modules had 2.22 times greater odds of reporting improved well-being from the Web-based health intervention (P=.01; 95% CI 1.20-4.11). Office workers with a focus on practical exercises for back health had higher odds of improved well-being compared with other health foci. Office workers focused on practical exercises for back pain had at least two times the odds of having their well-being improved from the Web-based health intervention compared with those focused on stress management (P<.001), mindfulness (P=.02), stress management/mindfulness (P=.005), and eye health (P=.003). No particular health focus was associated with improved well-being for the information modules.

Conclusions

Office workers frequently report having back pain and stress. A focus on Web-based health training via practical exercises and practical exercises for back health predict an improvement in office workers’ reported well-being.
Perceptions of eHealth-Enabled Physical Activity Interventions Among Cancer Survivors: Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Haberlin Ciaran , O' Donnell Dearbhaile M , Moran Jonathan , Broderick Julie
Published: February 2020

Background

Achieving adequate levels of physical activity (PA) is especially important for cancer survivors to mitigate the side effects of cancer and its treatment as well as for other health benefits. Electronic health (eHealth)-based PA interventions may offer feasible alternatives to traditionally delivered programs and optimize physical recovery after a cancer diagnosis, but perspectives of cancer survivors on this new delivery medium have not been extensively explored.

Objective

The overall aim was to explore participants’ perspectives of eHealth-enabled PA interventions to inform the design of a future intervention among cancer survivors.

Methods

The study took place in a designated cancer center in Dublin, Ireland. A preceding questionnaire-based study was conducted primarily to establish interest in participating in subsequent eHealth-based studies. A follow-on focus group study was conducted to explore the concept of eHealth-based PA interventions for cancer survivors. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis.

Results

The questionnaire-based study (N=102) indicated that participants had a high level of interest in participating in follow-on eHealth-based studies. The focus group study (n=23) indicated that, despite some trepidation, overall positivity was expressed by participants toward the concept of eHealth-based PA interventions. Four themes were generated: (1) Health impact, including PA as a barrier and as a motivating factor, (2) Education needs, which emphasized the need for integrated information about PA and to increase technical literacy, (3) Goal setting, which should be integrated within the technical specification as a motivating factor, and (4) Support needs, as well as the importance of personalized human interaction, in tandem with technology.

Conclusions

Qualitative research at the pretrial phase adds value to the design of a complex intervention and is especially useful in an area such as eHealth. The findings highlighted an interest in participating in eHealth-focused research as well as barriers, training needs, and key design features that can be applied to optimize the design of future eHealth-based PA interventions in cancer.
LesionMap: A Method and Tool for the Semantic Annotation of Dermatological Lesions for Documentation and Machine Learning
Authors: Eapen Bell Raj , Archer Norm , Sartipi Kamran
Published: February 2020

Diagnosis and follow-up of patients in dermatology rely on visual cues. Documentation of skin lesions in dermatology is time-consuming and inaccurate. Digital photography is resource-intensive, difficult to standardize, and has privacy concerns. We propose a simple method—LesionMap—and an electronic health software tool—LesionMapper—for semantically annotating dermatological lesions on a body wireframe. We discuss how the type, distribution, and progression of lesions can be represented in a standardized way. The tool is an open-source JavaScript package that can be integrated into web-based electronic medical records. We believe that LesionMapper will facilitate documentation in dermatology that can be used for machine learning in a privacy-preserving manner.

Published: February 2020

Inflammation is known as the basic mechanism underlying various chronic diseases. Macrophage activation by inflammatory stimulus induces the release of inflammatory mediators, thus the mediators becoming a promising target of anti-inflammatory drug development. Previous studies indicated that fucoidan has anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the release of proinflammatory mediators. The aim of this study is determining anti-inflammatory activity of fucoidan crude extract form Sargassum crassifolium Garut waters by observing its effect on proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, dan IL-6. Fucoidan is a polysaccharide substance which has various characteristics, depending on the source and the extraction method which is influencing its bioactivity. Sargassum crassifolium collected from Garut-West Java is extracted using diluted HCl 0,1 M and precipitated with ethanol to obtain fucoidan crude extract. The crude extract is tested on LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells to evaluate its effect on TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 level using ELISA method. The result showed that fucoidan crude extract decreased the level of TNF-α by the dose of 25 and 50 μg/ml, and decreased the level of IL-1β and IL-6 by the dose of 25 μg/ml. The dose of 50 μg/ml failed to inhibit IL-1β and IL-6 production. This study showed that fucoidan crude extract derived from S. crassifolium has anti-inflammatory activity to RAW 264.7 cells by the dose of 25 μg/ml.

Authors: Sung Ji Yoon , Bae Yong Chan , Nam Su Bong , Kim Joo Hyoung
Published: February 2020

Background: Negative-pressure wound therapy with instillation (NPWTi) is an adjunctive treatment modality for complex and infected wounds. However, commercial devices are expensive and not readily available in many countries. The objective of this study is to introduce an NPWTi method that is applicable where commercial NPWTi devices are not available and to report the clinical outcomes of the NPWTi method for the adjunctive treatment of complex wounds.Methods: This prospective clinical experimental study included 51 patients who had wounds on which operative debridement was performed between January 2017 and March 2019. A negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) device was applied with an intravenous (IV) line for continuous instillation of 0.9% normal saline plus 1% povidone-iodine solution for chronic wounds. The outcomes measured were the number of operating room visits, time to final surgical procedure, number of infected wounds, time to resolution of infection, type of reconstruction operation, and occurrence of complications.Results: The average number of operations performed was 2.5±0.8, and the time to final surgical procedure was 28.4±15.4 days. The number of infected wounds was 35 (68.6%), and the time to resolution of infection was 15.0±14.6 days. All wounds were closed or covered. Though partial graft failure occurred in two cases, they healed completely by secondary healing in 2 weeks.Conclusion: A continuous-instillation NPWT system using an IV line could be an adjunctive modality in treating complex wounds at institutions where commercial NPWTi systems are not readily available.
The Utility of Disposable Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (PICO) in Wound Healing of Latissimus Dorsi Musculocutaneous Flap Donor Sites
Authors: Nam Jeoung Hyun , Park Eun Soo , Kim Seok Hwan
Published: February 2020

Background: Among treatments aiming to solve surgical wound complications, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is considered an innovative method. NPWT can promote wound healing, protect the wound from infection and reduce the tension on suture sites. At the same time, the large machine required in the therapy led to some inconvenience. The PICO system has recently been developed as a simple pocket-sized NPWT device. By comparing the time required for healing of the wound, incidence of wound complications, duration of hospital stays, and dressing costs, we attempted to confirm the utility of PICO for managing latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap donor sites.Methods: PICO was used on nine donor sites of patients who had undergone breast reconstruction using latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flaps. PICO was applied immediately after operation and removed on the 9th day. In the control group, daily conventional dressings were administered commensurate with the condition of the wounds. We defined the wound healing time to the point when no more dressing was needed. For the costs of dressing, only costs incurred on the donor sites were included.Results: Wound healing was proven to be faster in the PICO group (P=0.035) versus the control group, and no complications were observed in the PICO group. Also, the cost of PICO was lower compared to the costs incurred by the conventional dressing method (P<0.001).Conclusion: We suggest that PICO can reduce wound complications on areas where anatomical movement could lead to tension, while also reducing dressing costs.

A alface é uma das hortaliças mais produzidas e consumidas no Brasil. Muito desta preferência pode ser explicada pelo seu baixo custo, a facilidade de ser encontrada e seu valor nutricional, além de oferecer potenciais benefícios à saúde. Entretanto, essa realidade é posta à prova quando se observa a má higienização associada à irrigação com água contaminada e a precariedade na sua produção e armazenamento. Esses fatores têm levado a um aumento da contaminação por microrganismos patogênicos que, quando ingeridos, podem ocasionar infecções gastrointestinais de variada gravidade no homem. Tendo isso em vista, a presente revisão de literatura teve como objetivo destacar os principais microrganismos veiculados pela espécie vegetal Lactuca sativa e a importância da qualidade de sua higienização antes do consumo. Para tanto foram escolhidos 15 artigos selecionados com os seguintes critérios de inclusão: estar na língua inglesa ou portuguesa e ter sido publicados entre 2010 e 2018. Observou-se na literatura que os microrganismos mais incidentes foram Salmonella spp. e Escherichia coli, sendo estes bastonetes gram negativos pertencentes à família Enterobacteriaceae. Considerados como os principais causadores de doenças infecciosas veiculadas por alimentos, os mesmos são responsáveis por uma quantidade exacerbada de internamentos, o que evidencia a importância do combate desses patógenos para a saúde pública. Portanto, pode-se concluir que é perceptível a necessidade de campanhas de educação em saúde pública para que haja conscientização da importância da redução dos riscos de infecção por agentes biológicos.
Forensic Acculturation for Accountability in Local Governments: A Design Science Approach for School Leaders and Citizens
Authors: Kurpierz John R. , Smith Ken A.
Published: February 2020

Using design science methodology, this article describes a field-tested model of forensic accountants assisting average citizens in improving local governmental accountability and the provision of services via forensic acculturation. While most citizens lack the skills of forensic accountants, citizens have several traits that make them uniquely capable of detecting unhealthy financial behaviors. The field research uncovered systematic patterns of citizens being stymied in moving from the “being aware stage” to the “making improvements” or “holding accountable” stages. We label the patterns of being stymied as 10 Ds (delay, deflect, distort, etc.). We also discovered more successful individuals using behaviors we label the 3 Ps (polite, persistent, and professional) that are common traits among forensic experts. We provide case study evidence of the effects of citizen training and consultation processes, and refine a teaching tool (“3 Ps and 10 Ds”) for use in further field tests.

Team Incentives and Bonus Floors in Relational Contracts
Authors: Glover Jonathan C. , Xue Hao
Published: February 2020

Teamwork and team incentives are increasingly prevalent in modern organizations. Performance measures used to evaluate individuals' contributions to teamwork are often non-verifiable. We study a principal-multi-agent model of relational (self-enforcing) contracts in which the optimal contract resembles a bonus pool. It specifies a minimum joint bonus floor the principal is required to pay out to the agents, and gives the principal discretion to use non-verifiable performance measures to both increase the size of the pool and to allocate the pool to the agents. The joint bonus floor is useful because of its role in motivating the agents to mutually monitor each other by facilitating a strategic complementarity in their payoffs. In an extension section, we introduce a verifiable team performance measure that is a noisy version of the individual non-verifiable measures, and show that the verifiable measure is either ignored or used to create a conditional bonus floor.

Using Random Forest Tree Classification for Evaluating Vertical Cross-Sections in Epoxy Blocks to Get Unbiased Estimates for 3D Mineral Map
Authors: CAMALAN Mahmut , ÇAVUR Mahmut
Published: February 2020

Areal mineral maps are constructed from the polished sections of particles that settle to the bottom of epoxy resin. However, heavy minerals can preferentially settle to the bottom, making the polished surface rich in heavy minerals. Therefore, polished sections will become biased estimates of the volumetric (3D) map. The study aims to test whether any vertical cross-section (any section along the settling direction of particles) can be an unbiased estimate of the 3D mineral map of a chromite ore sample. For the purpose of this study, 2D maps of the vertical cross-sections were acquired by using Random Forest classification coupled with image pre- and post-processing tools. Then, 3D mineral maps were converted from 2D maps without assuming stereological errors. The modal mineralogy and particle size distributions predicted from 3D maps were compared with the same features estimated from the particulate sample by XRD and dry sieving analyses, respectively. Any 2D map which yields a modal mineralogy and a size distribution similar to the true analyses was selected as an unbiased estimate of the true 3D map. The results suggest that any vertical cross-section is an unbiased estimate, unlike polished section at which heavier minerals settle preferentially.

Productive consumption and economic communications
Authors: Valenčík R. , Sazanova S. , Yerznkyan B. , Ryazanova G.
Published: February 2020

Modern economic theory cannot overcome the neoclassical dichotomy «producer - consumer», which contradicts the principle of methodological atomism and therefore is a methodological problem. The authors found that the producer-consumer dichotomy is partially solved with the help of theoretical tools such as the equilibrium approach and the balance method, but this is not a methodological solution. The authors proved that the solution to the producer-consumer dichotomy can be a synthesis of the theory of productive consumption and the theory of economic communications.

La ira al volante en la explicación del comportamiento de los condenados por delitos de tráfico
Authors: González Iglesias Beatriz , Gómez Fraguela Xosé Antón , López Romero Laura
Published: February 2020

En los últimos años la agresividad y la manifestación de ira al volante se han relacionado con la conducción que se lleva a cabo. Las investigaciones han puesto de manifiesto que los individuos más coléricos suelen adoptar un estilo de conducción más agresivo y arriesgado, lo que les lleva a cometer más infracciones y a verse implicados en un mayor número de accidentes y siniestros graves. El estudio de la ira al volante se ha convertido en una de las líneas de investigación más prometedoras en este ámbito. Sin embargo, la visibilidad social y el reconocimeinto oficial de este fenómeno no han despejado, por el momento, todas las incógnitas que se ciernen sobre él. La ausencia de una definición unánime de qué se considera conducción agresiva o airada, la proliferación de instrumentos de avluación muy diversos y el diseño de investigaciones metodológicamente débiles no han ayudado a eliminar el desconocimiento de este problema social. En el trabajo que se presenta a continuación se analiza el papel de la ira al volante en la explicación de las conducta de riesgo de los conductores penados por delitos de tráfico en Galicia.
Behavior of Air Passenger Demand in a Liberalized Market
Authors: Hoyos Diana Tascón , Olariaga Oscar Díaz
Published: February 2020

This article analyzes the behavior of the demand of domestic and international air passengers in a context of liberalized air transport market and with a total deregulation of airfares (using as case study the Colombian air transport market), and where it is also contemplated the influence, on this demand, of several factors of diverse origin (economic, market / competition and geographic). And due to the complexity of the air transport system, the use of System Dynamics is considered appropriate as an analysis tool. The main results indicate a convergence (in the study period) to a stabilization status of the load factor, which suggests that the air operators were able to better understand the behavior of the demand and thereby better adjust their supply.

Published: February 2020

Currently, in many cities around the world there is a significant increase in the number of vehicles, which leads to an aggravation of problems and contradictions in the road and transport system. This is especially true of traffic congestion, since the presence of the congestion leads to a number of negative consequences: an increase in travel time, additional fuel consumption and vehicle wear, stress and irritation of drivers and passengers, environmental poisoning and others. To solve the problem of congestion, it is necessary to have a reliable system for collecting information about the situation on the roads and a well-developed method for analyzing the collected information. The paper discusses the possibilities of collecting the required information using multi-touch video cameras and ways to improve them. A distinctive feature of this study is the registration of pedestrians crossing the road at the intersection. The aim of the work is to develop methods for collecting information using road sensor video surveillance systems in a traffic congestion and data processing using statistical methods such as: multiple regression analysis, cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling methods and others. The tasks were set: 1) to identify the most significant factors affecting the intensity of movement of vehicles at intersections in a congestion; 2) divide congestion into clusters with the identification of their characteristics; 3) to give a visual representation of multidimensional statistical information obtained with the help of multi-touch road video cameras.

This paper explores the potential of using crowdsourcing tools, namely Google “Popular times” (GPT) as an alternative source of information to predict traffic-related impacts. Using linear regression models, we examined the relationships between GPT and traffic volumes, travel times, pollutant emissions and noise of different areas in different periods. Different data sets were collected: i) crowdsourcing information from Google Maps; ii) traffic dynamics with the use of a probe car equipped with a Global Navigation Satellite System data logger; and iii) traffic volumes. The emissions estimation was based on the Vehicle Specific Power methodology, while noise estimations were conducted with the use of “The Common Noise Assessment Methods in Europe” (CNOSSOS-EU) model. This study shows encouraging results, as it was possible to establish clear relationships between GPT and traffic and environmental performance.

Tarafımızdan yürütülen çalışmalarda in vitro kültürlerde mezankimal kök hücreleri ve endotelyal hücre hatları kullanılarak suyun IC50 değeri tespit edilerek hücreler üzerindeki pozitif ve negatif etki dozları belirlenmektedir. Buradan elde edilen sonuçlara bağlı olarak, gerekli olması durumda tüm organizmadaki etkileri deney hayvanları üzerinde in vivo olarak incelenebilmektedir. Bu amaçla genç wistar sıçanları deney gruplarına (deney ve kontrol) ayrılarak, su ihtiyaçları 3 ila 6 ay süre ile çalışma alanından temin edilen su örnekleri ile karşılanmaktadır. Belirli zaman noktalarında her bir gruptaki deneklerden kan ve idrar numunesi alınarak rutin biyokimya analizleri ile hemogramı analizlenerek değişimler kaydedilmektedir. Ayrıca aylık periyotlarla örneklemdeki denekler sakrifiye edilerek endojen dokuların genel muayenesi yapılarak histolojik ve kimyasal analizler için karaciğer, böbrek ve kalp dokusundan örnekler alınmaktadır. Doku örneklerinin bir kısmı mikrodalga kullanılarak homojenizat haline getirilir ve element içeriğindeki değişimler ICP_OES ile tayin edilmektedir. Diğer kısmı ise %10‘luk formaldehitte tespit edildikten sonra dondurarak kesit alma yöntemine göre 5 um‘lik ince kesitleri alınarak histopatalojik olarak incelenmektedir. Bu çalışmalar göstermişti ki su analizlerinde kullanılan bilindik yöntemler çok kıymetli olsa da sitotoksik analiz yöntemiyle yapılan su kalitesi çalışması su kalitesinin direkt canlı doku üzerinde etkilerinin gözlenmesi açısından güvenilirlik sağlamaktadır. Sunulan çalışmada, sonuçlarının çarpıcılığı nedeniyle İncesu Havzasından alınan su numuneleri için yürütülen in vitro sitotoksisite çalışmaları örnek olarak verilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar ışığında in vitro sitotoksisite testlerinin rutin su kalitesi analizlerine eklenmesi gerektiği önerilmektedir.

Bu araştırmada Romanov kuzularının vücut özelliklerinin gelişiminin tanımlanması amacı ile 50 Romanov kuzusunun doğumdan itibaren 180. yaş gününe kadar olan büyüme döneminde her 15 günde bir canlı ağırlık, vücut uzunluğu, cidago yüksekliği özelliklerine ilişkin kayıtlar alınmış ve elde edilen veriler ile doğrusal modellerden Linear, Kuadratik ve Kübik model, doğrusal olmayan modellerden Gompertz ve Lojistik modelleri kullanılarak büyüme eğrilerine ait parametreler hesaplanmıştır. Büyüme eğrileri içinde en iyi uyumu gösteren modelin belirlenmesinde belirtme katsayısı (R2), hata kareler ortalaması (HKO) ve ortalama mutlak sapma (OMS) değerlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre en yüksek R2 değeri ile en düşük HKO değerleri sırası ile canlı ağırlıkta 0,992-0,591, cidago yüksekliğinde 0,993-0,441, vücut uzunluğunda 0,986-1,164 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Ele alınan bütün vücut özelliklerinde en yüksek R2 değeri kübik modelden elde edilmiştir. Büyüme eğrisi modellerine ait parametrelerin belirlenebilmesi için SPSS istatistik programı kullanılmıştır. Bu sonuçlara göre Romanov kuzularının vücut özelliklerinin gelişimini en iyi açıklayan ayrıca büyüme eğrilerine en uyumlu modelin Kübik model olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

In 1999, a mid-sized, public doctoral-intensive university in the Midwest initiated a publication series to help admitted students and their family members better understand the enrollment process and increase the yield of admitted students for the institution. Through focus group research, admitted students and family members provided feedback on the effectiveness of the publications specifically designed for admitted students. This case study presents a model for developing a publications series for admitted students and then using focus group research to refine those publications for greatest effectiveness.

ABSTRACT

Mandarin has been used as one of the subjects in Indonesia's schools including kindergarten/PAUD. However, many obstacles faced by the school. The lack of training and teaching staff of Mandarin for early childhood education moved the hearts of the USU Community Service Team to conduct Early Childhood Mandarin Learning training for pre-school educators in one of the Kindergarten schools in Medan, namely RA Ar -Rahmah.  The method of this activity is intensive training with a blend of theory and practice as well as discussion and performance of the training results. Teaching Mandarin to educators is carried out with the principle of "Teaching Mandarin to young children" while still considering and respecting the position of participants as instructors who have different backgrounds and experiences.The training follows the principles of TCFL (Teaching Chinese as A Foreign Language) in the form of applicative and simple material through flashcards, folding paper, singing simple songs, how to introduce yourself, etc. The results of the teaching practice carried out were very satisfying and as expected.
