Cradle is a lifting tool used to transport ships. The innovation of the cradle design as a deck tool for transporting ships to the dock is a breakthrough to simplify the transportation process. Of course, in the design process, a method is needed to get a design that meets the standard. Numerical simulation is a method that is applied to determine the stress that occurs in the cradle when it is subjected to a load. The workload is a ship transported with the assumption that the load is evenly distributed along with the cradle. The design acceptance criteria were chosen based on the ability of the cradle structure to withstand axial and transverse loads. The standard code as a reference uses the allowable stress criteria from the Indonesian Classification Bureau (BKI) in each local stress. Based on the simulation results, it is found that the sluggishness of the planned cradle design is able to withstand the workload so that the cradle design is feasible to be applied to the operational process.

Design do currículo em rede? Dinâmica relacional das associações de professores na elaboração das Aprendizagens Essenciais em Portugal
Authors: Almeida Sílvia , Viana Joana , Barcelos Natália , Roldão Maria do Céu , Peralta Helena
Published: May 2023

O convite do Ministério da Educação português às associações de professores (AP), em 2016, para a sua participação no processo de definição das Aprendizagens Essenciais (AE) é inédito no contexto histórico-curricular português, como na maioria dos países do mundo. Neste texto pretende-se perceber a estrutura social e a dinâmica de interação criada pelas AP na elaboração das AE, respondendo às seguintes questões de investigação: i) Que atores foram convidados pelas AP para as suas equipas e que relações de interação estabeleceram entre si?; ii) Que dinâmica relacional estabeleceram as associações das várias áreas disciplinares entre si?
Como metodologia privilegiámos a análise de redes sociais (Social Network Analysis – SNA) que permite detetar a estrutura das relações sociais, e seus padrões de interação e representá-los graficamente. Elaborámos um questionário de análise de redes que foi aplicado às 18 AP que participaram na elaboração das AE.
Os resultados demonstram que as AP constituíram equipas formadas, sobretudo, por elementos especialistas na disciplina da área. A representação social do conhecimento profissional por parte das AE desvaloriza o conhecimento do currículo. Verificou-se ainda a pouca colaboração entre associações na elaboração das AE, o que se pode justificar pela tradição do sistema educativo português anterior ao 25 de abril, que se sustentava numa lógica de trabalho individual dos docentes, e pela génese ou cultura disciplinar das AP.

Background

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses based on observational studies have shown voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) may reduce HIV risk among men who have sex with men (MSM). There is a lack of randomized controlled trial (RCT) data assessing the efficacy of VMMC.

Objective

The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of VMMC for preventing HIV acquisition among MSM who primarily engage in insertive anal sex.

Methods

A multicenter RCT will be conducted among MSM in 8 cities in China. Eligible participants are men aged 18-49 years who self-report ≥2 male sex partners in the past 6 months, predominantly practice insertive anal sex, and are willing to undergo circumcision. Interested men who satisfy inclusion criteria will be tested for HIV 1 month before enrollment and at enrollment, and only those who are HIV negative will be enrolled. At baseline, all enrolled participants will be asked to report sociodemographic characteristics and sexual behaviors; provide a blood sample for HIV, syphilis, and herpes simplex virus type 2 testing; and provide a penile swab for human papillomavirus testing. Participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention or control group. Those in the intervention group will receive VMMC and undergo a web-based weekly follow-up assessment of postsurgery healing for 6 consecutive weeks. All participants will be tested for HIV at 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month follow-ups. All participants will also be asked to report sexual behaviors and undergo repeat herpes simplex virus type 2 and human papillomavirus testing at 6- and 12-month follow-ups. The primary end point is HIV seroconversion. Secondary end points are the safety and satisfaction with VMMC and the changes in sexual behaviors after VMMC. The grouped censored data will be analyzed by intention-to-treat approach.

Results

Recruitment for the RCT began in August 2020 and continued through July 2022. Data collection is expected to be completed by July 2023, and full data analysis is going to be completed by September 2023.

Conclusions

This study will be the first RCT to assess the efficacy of VMMC in preventing HIV infection among MSM. Results from this trial will provide preliminary evidence for the potential efficacy of VMMC to reduce incident HIV infection among MSM.

Enhancing Learning About Epidemiological Data Analysis Using R for Graduate Students in Medical Fields With Jupyter Notebook: Classroom Action Research
Authors: Kumwichar Ponlagrit
Published: May 2023

Background

Graduate students in medical fields must learn about epidemiology and data analysis to conduct their research. R is a software environment used to develop and run packages for statistical analysis; it can be challenging for students to learn because of compatibility with their computers and problems with package installations. Jupyter Notebook was used to run R, which enhanced the graduate students’ ability to learn epidemiological data analysis by providing an interactive and collaborative environment that allows for more efficient and effective learning.

Objective

This study collected class reflections from students and their lecturer in the class “Longitudinal Data Analysis Using R,” identified problems that occurred, and illustrated how Jupyter Notebook can solve those problems.

Methods

The researcher analyzed issues encountered in the previous class and devised solutions using Jupyter Notebook. These solutions were then implemented and applied to a new group of students. Reflections from the students were regularly collected and documented in an electronic form. The comments were then thematically analyzed and compared to those of the prior cohort.

Results

Improvements that were identified included the ease of using Jupyter R for data analysis without needing to install packages, increased student questioning due to curiosity, and students having the ability to immediately use all code functions. After using Jupyter Notebook, the lecturer could stimulate interest more effectively and challenge students. Furthermore, they highlighted that students responded to questions. The student feedback shows that learning R with Jupyter Notebook was effective in stimulating their interest. Based on the feedback received, it can be inferred that using Jupyter Notebook to learn R is an effective approach for equipping students with an all-encompassing comprehension of longitudinal data analysis.

Conclusions

The use of Jupyter Notebook can improve graduate students’ learning experience for epidemiological data analysis by providing an interactive and collaborative environment that is not affected by compatibility issues with different operating systems and computers.
Efficacy of Naprapathy in Brachial Plexus Injury: Protocol for a Randomized Clinical Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Xiao Bin , Zhao Lishu , Huang Yong , Ma Anqi , Pei Baoshun , Li Zhengyu , Gu Fei
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND

Clinical rehabilitation for brachial plexus injury is difficult in terms of chronic pain and dysfunction. Physiotherapy is considered a routine intervention for rehabilitation. Common physical therapy may require a variety of instruments. One approach that does not need instruments, but belongs to the field of complementary and alternative medicine, is naprapathy. Naprapathy, also called Tuina in China, has been applied in rehabilitation after brachial plexus injury for a long time. Naprapathy can relieve chronic neuropathic pain, promote local blood circulation, and improve body edema. Naprapathy can passively help improve motor functions in patients with peripheral nerve injury. However, the efficacy of naprapathy in improving rehabilitation after brachial plexus injury is unclear.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to evaluate the additional value of naprapathy when combined with conventional physical therapy for the treatment of brachial plexus injury.

METHODS

This will be a single-center randomized controlled trial. A total of 116 eligible patients with brachial plexus injury will be randomly divided into an experimental group (naprapathy plus physical therapy group) or a control group (physical therapy group). The participants will be followed up for 4 weeks of treatment. Observation outcomes will include the visual analog scale score, upper limb index, electromyography findings, and adverse reactions, among others. The measuring points for outcomes will be the baseline and the completion of treatment. In addition, a quality control group independent from the research team will be set up to control the quality of the trial. Finally, the data will be analyzed using SPSS software (version 21.0; IBM Corp).

RESULTS

The study is recruiting participants. The first participant was enrolled in September 2021. As of January 2023, a total of 100 participants have been enrolled. The trial is expected to be completed by September 2023. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Review Committee of Yue Yang Hospital affiliated with the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (2021-012).

CONCLUSIONS

One limitation of this trial is that we will be unable to achieve strict double-blinding because of the features of naprapathy. The trial aims to contribute reliable evidence for decision-making in naprapathy for treating brachial plexus injury.

Adolescents’ Experiences and Opinions of Web-Based Access to Electronic Health Records: A National Patient Survey in Sweden (Preprint)
Authors: Hagström Josefin , Blease Charlotte , Scandurra Isabella , Moll Jonas , Cajander Åsa , Rexhepi Hanife , Hägglund Maria
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND

If, how, and when to provide adolescents with access to their electronic health records (EHRs) online is a debated question. However, few studies have investigated adolescents’ experiences of using patient portals, and the lack of guidance has led to vast variety in approaches adopted by EHR vendors and healthcare providers worldwide. A national survey conducted within the Nordic eHealth project NORDeHEALTH provided an important opportunity to advance our understanding of adolescent users of patient portals.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of the study is to explore the experiences and opinions of adolescents’ patient portal users. Specifically, to investigate use frequency, encouragement to read, reasons for reading health records online, perceived effect on trust and communication with healthcare professionals (HCPs) with respect to online record access (ORA), and perceived usefulness of information and functions in a patient portal.

METHODS

Using a convenience survey available through the Swedish online health portal, data were collected during three weeks in January and February 2022. The survey was designed to explore patients’ experiences using the national patient portal and included 83 items. This study focused on a subset of close-ended and free-text questions related to the aforementioned topics, and included only respondents aged 15-19. Demographic factors and frequencies on Likert style questions were reported with descriptive statistics, while Kruskal-Wallis Tests were used for group comparisons.

RESULTS

Of 13 008 users who completed the survey, 218 (1.68%) were unique users aged 15-19 (females: 77.1%). One fifth (47/218, 21.6%) had been encouraged by HCPs to read their records, and only those encouraged by doctors reported significantly higher use frequency (P=.003). All types of information were rated high on usefulness, while some functions were rated low, such as being able to block specific clinical notes from HCPs and managing services for family members. The main reason for reading their health records online was out of curiosity, and most felt that reading their notes improved their trust for their HCP (143/218, 65.6%), and that it supported better communication with HCPs (145/218, 66.5%). Almost no gender differences were identified.

CONCLUSIONS

Adolescents who read their records online perceive it to be useful and that it improves their trust in and communication with their HCPs. Encouragement by HCPs can lead to increased use of patient portals among adolescents, and particularly doctors’ and nurses’ encouragement need further investigation. Findings should be considered in the future design of patient portals for adolescents.

Additional Value From Free-Text Diagnoses in Electronic Health Records: Hybrid Dictionary and Machine Learning Classification Study (Preprint)
Authors: Mehra Tarun , Wekhof Tobias , Keller Dagmar Iris
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND

Physicians are hesitant to forgo the opportunity of entering unstructured clinical notes for structured data entry in electronic health records. Does free text increase informational value in comparison with structured data?

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to compare information from unstructured text-based chief complaints harvested and processed by a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm with clinician-entered structured diagnoses in terms of their potential utility for automated improvement of patient workflows.

METHODS

Electronic health records of 293,298 patient visits at the emergency department of a Swiss university hospital from January 2014 to October 2021 were analyzed. Using emergency department overcrowding as a case in point, we compared supervised NLP-based keyword dictionaries of symptom clusters from unstructured clinical notes and clinician-entered chief complaints from a structured drop-down menu with the following 2 outcomes: hospitalization and high Emergency Severity Index (ESI) score.

RESULTS

Of 12 symptom clusters, the NLP cluster was substantial in predicting hospitalization in 11 (92%) clusters; 8 (67%) clusters remained significant even after controlling for the cluster of clinician-determined chief complaints in the model. All 12 NLP symptom clusters were significant in predicting a low ESI score, of which 9 (75%) remained significant when controlling for clinician-determined chief complaints. The correlation between NLP clusters and chief complaints was low (r=−0.04 to 0.6), indicating complementarity of information.

CONCLUSIONS

The NLP-derived features and clinicians’ knowledge were complementary in explaining patient outcome heterogeneity. They can provide an efficient approach to patient flow management, for example, in an emergency medicine setting. We further demonstrated the feasibility of creating extensive and precise keyword dictionaries with NLP by medical experts without requiring programming knowledge. Using the dictionary, we could classify short and unstructured clinical texts into diagnostic categories defined by the clinician.

Evaluation of Mobile Health Technology Interventions for the Postdischarge Management of Patients With Head and Neck Cancer: Scoping Review (Preprint)
Authors: Li Yufei , Chen Weihong , Liang Yanjing , Yang Ling , Hou Lili
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND

Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) often experience various types and degrees of complications and functional impairment following surgery or radiotherapy. Consequently, these patients require extensive postdischarge rehabilitation, either at home or in the community. Numerous studies have shown the advantages of mobile Health (mHealth) technology in assisting patients with cancer with self-management and rehabilitation during the postdischarge period. However, few reviews have focused on the intervention, management, and evaluation of mHealth technology in postdischarge patients with HNC.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to conduct a scoping review of mHealth technology apps and interventions currently available to patients discharged from hospitals after receiving treatment for HNC. This study sought to identify and summarize the types and effectiveness of existing mHealth interventions as well as the differences in their outcome assessments.

METHODS

The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases were used to identify studies with no publication time limits. The keywords “mobile health technology” and “head and neck cancer” were combined to address the main concepts of the research questions.

RESULTS

Of the 1625 papers identified, 13 (0.8%) met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Most studies (n=8, 61.5%) were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies. These studies were conducted in 6 countries. The main aims of the mHealth interventions in these studies are as follows: (1) symptom monitoring and assessment, (2) rehabilitation training, (3) access to medical health information, (4) telehealth advisers, (5) peer communication and support, and (6) follow-up/review reminders. The outcome evaluations of the 13 included studies were grouped into 4 categories: (1) technology usability and patient satisfaction, (2) self-management of symptoms and patient-reported outcome–related indicators, (3) adherence, and (4) health-related quality of life.

CONCLUSIONS

A limited number of studies have investigated the use of mHealth technology in the postdischarge self-management of patients with HNC. The existing literature suggests that mHealth technology can effectively assist patients with HNC in self-management and postdischarge interventions. It plays an important role in addressing patients’ health information needs, reducing both their somatic and psychological burdens, and improving their overall quality of life. Future research should prioritize conducting additional high-quality RCTs to evaluate the usability and analyze the cost-effectiveness of mHealth technology.

Актуальність. Узагальнюючої гіпотези стосовно етіології та патогенезу червоного плоского лишаю слизової оболонки порожнини рота на сьогодні не існує. Більшість авторів розглядають цей дерматоз як поліетіологічне захворювання, в етіології якого має значення метаболічна, нейроендокринна, вірусна природа, яка потенціюється токсикоалергічними, інфекційними та імунними тригерами. Мета дослідження: проаналізувати літературні джерела з характеристикою клітинного та видового складу мікрофлори слизової оболонки порожнини рота хворих на червоний плоский лишай. Матеріали та методи. Огляд та аналіз наукової й медичної літератури на основі баз даних Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, PubMed, NCBI за останні 10 років, включно з оглядами літератури та результатами клінічних випробувань. Результати. Зміни у слизовій оболонці порожнини рота більшою мірою пов’язані із загальними патологічними процесами, що сприяють розвитку червоного плоского лишаю слизової оболонки порожнини рота. Таким чином, очевидною є необхідність раннього виявлення патологічних станів, які є факторами ризику розвитку червоного плоского лишаю слизової оболонки порожнини рота. Відсутність чітких уявлень про етіологію та патогенез вимагає всебічного обстеження із метою виділення найбільш ймовірного та вагомого провоканта у кожному окремому клінічному випадку. Висновки. Червоний плоский лишай є поліетіологічним захворюванням, що потрапляє в коло інтересів досить великої кількості фахівців, а саме імунологів, ендокринологів, неврологів, гастроентерологів, терапевтів та стоматологів. Оскільки дебют захворювання часто відбувається із ураження слизової оболонки порожнини рота, це вимагає від лікаря-стоматолога глибокого та системного клінічного мислення.

Fulfillment of workers’ rights in remote working: the perspective of labor development principle in Indonesia
Authors: Hidayah Nur Putri , Anggraeny Isdian
Published: May 2023

The popularity of working from home or remote working is rising globally. In Indonesia, the existence of the internet underpins the trend of working from home since accessing this technology is effortless. However, existing regulatory provisions mostly govern matters regarding office work, while the rights and responsibilities between employers and employees in the remote working scheme have never been specifically regulated. This situation creates a huge gap between what is stated in a written law and law in action. This research aims to analyze the congruence of agreements with the fulfilment of rights of workers working from home from the perspective of legislation and the principles of labor development. This research employed sociological and legal methods. The research results indicate that the fulfilment of labors’ rights in both the agreement and implementation has not met the principles of labor development. The conflict of rights and criminal violations regarding this matter is obvious since workers’ rights governed in the legislation are not governed in the work agreement. Moreover, there is still incongruence between the regulations and implementation of the rights of workers regarding the portion of break/leave and overtime wages.

Authors: Strick Madelijn , Helfferich Stephanie
Published: May 2023

This quantitative survey study aimed to identify “active ingredients” of a science festival in The Netherlands. Active ingredients are the elements of science communication activities that drive the impact on visitors' knowledge, attitudes, or behavior. Factor analyses of data from on-site surveys conducted in two different festival years (Total N=456) revealed three active ingredients: personal relevance, accessibility, and interactivity. Furthermore, the analyses revealed two impacts: increased knowledge/insight and increased familiarity with science. The strongest predictor of impact was personal relevance, which denotes the feeling that the festival activities touched on visitors' emotions and personal life.
Representation of the Elderly in Thomas More’s ‘Utopia’ and Lois Lowry’s ‘The Giver’
Authors: Leine Antra
Published: May 2023

While the first utopias manifested aspirations for a better socio-political system, dystopias typically reflect societal fears and concerns that are intensified by the twentieth century’s political and social crises that, besides other significant turns, have caused a rethinking of the role of the elderly in the society. While, typically, the protagonists of dystopias are very young or middle-aged, they often must interact with the previous generations to achieve their goals, thus providing an exciting field for analysis of how these elderlies are depicted in dystopian novels. The methodology for comparing the treatment of the elderly in Utopia with the treatment of the elderly in Lois Lowry’s The Giver involves literary analysis and a comparison of the specific ways in which the elderly in both works are depicted. Special attention is paid to the specific ways in which they are treated and the roles they are assigned in their respective societies, as well as the level of respect and care they are shown especially at the end of their lives. The characteristic attitude towards the elderly suggested by More in Utopia is masterfully rendered in Lowry’s twentieth-century dystopia, The Giver. The study reveals that the treatment of the elderly has often been discriminatory in More’s work Utopia and is deliberately portrayed as such in Lowry’s novel.

Método: revisión bibliográfica tipo narrativa. La búsqueda de artículos se hizo mediante términos MeSH en los buscadores Pubmed, Cochrane y Google académico, con los siguientes criterios de inclusión: estudios de ensayos clínicos relacionados con la prevención primaria de la DMG y estrategias no farmacológicas para la prevención primaria de la DMG en idiomas inglés y español, publicados en los últimos cinco años.
Resultados: las estrategias con resultados positivos para prevenir la DMG fueron aquellas relacionadas con modificaciones nutricionales, principalmente las que utilizan un patrón mediterráneo, programas de actividad física supervisados por profesionales, actividades educativas iniciadas en la etapa preconcepcional -enfocadas en modificar el estilo de vida- y el uso del suplemento inositol. Otras investigaciones, como el uso de probióticos, no fueron concluyentes.
Conclusión:  la evidencia propone diversas estrategias no farmacológicas para la prevención primaria de la DMG con resultados efectivos. En ese contexto, se sugiere fortalecer el conocimiento y la capacidad de implementar estas estrategias por parte de profesionales de la salud y, a la vez, aumentar la realización de nuevas investigaciones que colaboren en este proceso.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Depending on pregnancy; physiological changes in the immune system, respiratory and circulatory systems may cause a more severe course of infection with respiratory viruses. The aim of this study is to examine the clinical and laboratory findings of our pregnant patients with and without COVID-19 and to determine whether COVID-19 disease has a negative effect on late pregnancy.
Methods: This study was conducted with a total of 60 pregnant patients followed in the Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology Clinic and Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic of a Training and Research Hospital. Demographic characteristics and laboratory findings of pregnant women and their fetuses were obtained from the hospital management information system.
Results: The mean age of the COVID-19 positive pregnant women (n:30) included in the study was 28.87±1.38 years, the mean hospitalization time was 6.33±0.35 days, and it was significantly different from the COVID-19 negative group (n:30) (p<0.001). The most common symptom observed in COVID-19 positive pregnant women at presentation was fever (73.3%), followed by cough (53.3%) and headache (43.3%). C-reactive protein (25.53±5.79, p: 0.005), ferritin (83.97±10.51, p: 0.005) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (30.97± 4.59, p: 0.011) were found to be higher in COVID-19 positive pregnant women.
Conclusion: In conclusion; CRP, ferritin and ESR levels were found to be higher in pregnant women with COVID-19. It is important for healthcare providers to know the clinical course of COVID-19, maternofetal or obstetric outcomes in the pregnant population. Mode and timing of delivery should be individualized according to disease severity, pre-existing maternal comorbidities, obstetric history, gestational age, and fetal conditions.

Published: May 2023

The recent events related to the crisis of political power in a number of states in the post-Soviet space and the desire of their governments to destroy the established economic ties with the Russian Federation lead to local sectoral crises, inflation and a slowdown in the growth of gross national product. Objective requirements for changing economic processes in the direction of stabilizing the socio-political situation dictate to the leaders of various levels (federal, regional, municipal and commercial), among the strategic tasks, the need to develop and apply an effective set of tools and methods for managing socio-economic systems in all phases and stages of functioning of the national economic complex. The solution of such problems, first of all, involves the formalization and specification of factors related to the economy that can have a negative impact on critical infrastructure, sectors of the economy and processes that are vital for the sustainable functioning of the state. The foregoing determined the purpose of the study — to analyze the concept of national security and build a conceptual structure of risk vectors that have a significant impact on the critical infrastructure necessary for the formation of a country's accelerated development strategy (search and justification of points and poles of national economic growth). In the process of work, the most important processes, from the standpoint of national and economic security, have been formalized that ensure comfortable and safe living conditions for citizens on the territory of the country; the essence of the main, from the point of view of the authors, external and internal risk factors that directly affect both the growth of the economy and the stabilization of relations in society is considered. In order to minimize negative factors, it is proposed to develop a long-term strategy for the rapid development of the national economy with a clear formalization of specific final goals (measurable and achievable) using, as a tool for developing an effective system of interactions, digital twins of control objects. As a methodological basis, it is proposed to use the strategizing methodology of academician V.L. Kvint.
