Examining Challenges to the Incorporation of End Users in the Design of Digital Health Interventions: Protocol for a Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Duffy Anthony , Christie Greg , Moreno Sylvain
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND

The process of designing a digital health intervention (DHI)—also referred to as mobile health or eHealth—spans needs assessments, technical functionality and feasibility, user satisfaction, effectiveness, impact, and value. These interventions are causing a rapid evolution in the landscape of health care. Multiple studies have shown their propensity to extend both the quality and reach of interventions. However, failure to improve DHI design is linked to failed uptake and health outcomes. This dilemma is further conflicted by the colliding backdrops of the digital and health industries, both of which approach, understand, and involve end users differently in the framing of a DHI.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this systematic review is to assess the challenges to incorporating end users in the design stage of digital health interventions, to identify key pain points, and to identify limitations and gaps for areas of future investigation.

METHODS

The PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols) checklist will be used to structure this protocol. A systematic search of the PsycINFO, PubMed (MEDLINE), Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore databases will be conducted. Additionally, the PerSPEcTiF guidelines for complex interventions will be consulted. Two reviewers will independently screen the titles and abstracts of the identified references and select studies according to the eligibility criteria. Any discrepancies will then be discussed and resolved. Two reviewers will independently extract and validate data from the included studies into a standardized form and conduct quality appraisal.

RESULTS

As of February 2021, we have completed a preliminary literature search examining challenges to the incorporation of end users in the design stage of DHIs. Systematic searches, data extraction and analysis, and writing of the systematic review are expected to be completed by December 2021.

CONCLUSIONS

This systematic review aims to provide an effective summary of key pain points toward incorporating end users in DHIs. Results from this review will provide an evidence base for a better approach to end user involvement in the interest of improving efficacy and uptake of DHIs.

The Increasing Trend in Commercial Real Estate Lending by Community Banks: The Role of Deliberate Risk-Taking, 2001-2017
Authors: Cummings J. Reid , Martinez John E. , Mills Michael T.
Published: February 2021

Much attention focuses on the role of real estate lending by banks as a precipitating factor in past financial crises, and especially with respect to the 2007-2008 crisis. Over the past five years, U.S. banks have increased their commercial real estate lending dramatically, raising concern among regulators about the potential for another financial crisis. In this paper, we analyze post-recessionary trends to determine whether the same dangerous pre-recessionary risk-taking trends are emerging. Regulators devote most of their attention to the banking sector with little regard to the role played by its various subgroups. This may explain why there is little research analyzing the specific role of community banks in sparking a financial crisis. In this study, we present a disaggregated analysis that focuses on the potential risks of increased commercial real estate lending from a comparative perspective, examining community banks vis-a-vis larger banking institutions, paying particular attention to the role of deliberate bank risk-taking as a causal factor in increased community bank commercial real estate CRE lending since the Great Recession.

Abstract

Inappropriate use of surgical prophylactic antibiotics can increase the risk of Surgical Site Infections (SSI) and drug resistance. This study aimed to assess the appropriateness use of surgical prophylactic antibiotics in clean surgery wounds in a hospital in Jakarta. This cross-sectional study was conducted at a government hospital in Jakarta. Data were collected from medical records of adult patients undergoing surgery with clean surgical wound criteria from January 1 to December 31, 2013. Data were analyzed descriptively based on guidelines for antibiotics use both nationally and internationally. The result showed 837 patients classified into the clean surgical wound during this period. The most common surgeries were abdominal surgery (39%) and non-cardiac thoracic (23.5%) and more than 96% were elective surgeries. The overall antibiotic prophylactic appropriateness showed 27.7% in surgical procedures and only 0.5% in choice of antibiotics. In conclusion, the appropriateness of surgery antibiotics prophylactic use in one of the hospitals in Jakarta was still low. Appropriate use of antibiotics can reduce the risk of SSI and cost treatment by reducing unnecessary prescribing and duration of antibiotics use.

Published: February 2021

This study investigates the short-run performance of initial public offerings in Australia. Based on sources from the Morningstar DatAnalysis database, we analyzed 211 Australian publicly traded initial public offerings (IPO) listed on the Australian stock exchange between January 2011 and December 2015 using multiple regression analysis with dummies to represent industry and listing year. According to our analysis, total market return indicates an IPO underpricing phenomenon whereas secondary market shows an overpricing scenario. Moreover, this analysis supports the contention that short-run performance fluctuations were based on the listing year and industry settings. This study contributes to the literature by analysing the short-run performance of both the primary and secondary markets

Purpose: Successful resuscitation and early defibrillation are critical
in survival after in- or out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest. This
study aimed to determine the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of the
pediatric healthcare professionals about the defibrillator use and to
offer solutions if there was room for improvement. Procedures: This was
a multicenter survey study. Findings: The study included 716 healthcare
professionals with an average age of 30.1 ± 5.8 years; 50% (n=358) were
pediatric residents and 41.3% (n=296) had less than three years of
professional experience. Self-declared level of knowledge about
defibrillation/cardioversion was low-to-medium for 66.5% (n=476);
60.8% (n=435) had never practiced these procedures and 22.2% (n=159)
had never received any training about defibrillator use. There was a
significant relationship between professional experience and the
proportion of participants who correctly responded to the first-shock
dose for defibrillation but not for cardioversion. Conclusion:
Professional experience is crucial in the correct defibrillator use.
However, the defibrillation/cardioversion procedures are prone to errors
since they are not commonly applied in day to day practice. An ideal
approach to improve the experience of personnel could be to use
practical training with case-based simulations and to educate the
personnel about the features of the defibrillators available in their
clinics.
TRAMPOline: a Temporal Relative Abundance-focused multi-sPecies Occupancy model, illustrated using fossils
Authors: Reitan Trond , Ergon Torbjørn , Liow Lee Hsiang
Published: February 2021

The occupancy and relative abundance of species are temporally varying.
Estimating these, given incomplete and biased sampling is challenging,
not least for fossilized organisms, where preservation is an additional
issue. Here, we describe a relative abundance-focused multi-species
occupancy model (TRAMPOline) in a hierarchical Bayesian framework. We
designed our model on the basis of the need to understand the dynamics
of several focal species over 2.3 million years, by drawing on
additional information provided by non-focal species observed in the
same fossilized community. We expanded our model by adding random
effects of species and time intervals (geological formations) and
explored potential explanatory factors (paleoenvironmental proxies) and
temporal autocorrelation that could provide extra information on
unsampled geological time intervals. Our new model, set in an occupancy
modeling framework widely used in ecology but little applied in
paleoecology, is applicable across a wide range of questions on
species-level dynamics in contemporary and palaeoecological community
settings.

Authors: Şık Nihan , Çitlenbik Hale , Öztürk Ali , Yılmaz Durgül , Duman Murat
Published: February 2021

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of
intravenous (IV) magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) on clinical severity scores,
need for respiratory support and outcomes for previously healthy
children with bronchiolitis. Methods: We retrospectively assessed
children with moderate-severe bronchiolitis. Patients who received 40
mg/kg/dose of IV MgSO4 (group 1) or not (group 2) were compared for
vital signs, clinical findings and outcomes. Results: There were 74
patients in group 1 and 33 in group 2. The median age, the mean
respiratory rates, oxygen saturation/fraction of inspired oxygen (S/F)
ratios and, The Modified Respiratory Distress Assessment Instrument
(mRDAI) scores at the time of starting MgSO4 treatment were similar for
two groups. Respiratory rate and mRDAI score significantly decreased at
the 2th hour of MgSO4 treatment and the decrease was observed for 4th,
8th and 12th hours, compared with group 2. Patients in group 1 had a
higher S/F ratio at 4th hour compared with group 2 and in group 1, the
elevation was observed at the 4th hour. Patients in group 2 had a higher
rate of requirement and an earlier start high flow nasal cannula oxygen
therapy but the total duration time was similar for two groups. Patients
in group 2 had a longer hospital stay than group 1. Conclusion:
Intravenous MgSO4 provided significant improvement on clinical severity,
early phase of oxygenation, need for respiratory support, length of stay
in the hospital and outcomes. It seems to be an effective treatment
option for management of bronchiolitis.

Seismic analysis of frames with semi-rigid connections in accordance with EC8
Authors: Zlatkov Dragan , Zdravkovic Slavko , Mladenovic Biljana , Mijalkovic Marina
Published: February 2021

Up to date research has pointed out that most of the structural connections
of reinforced concrete (RC) frames, particularly precast ones, behave as
semi-rigid. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop an analysis
method which takes into account the connection rigidity. For that purpose
matrix formulation of the deformation method is used in this paper, and the
effect of rigidity of connections on the structure response is included by
stiffness matrix for semi-rigidly connected member. The elements of this
matrix are functions of the fixity factors at the ends of members. The
proposed method is applied in seismic analysis of the precast RC frame
structure of the existing industrial hall according to Eurocode 8 (EC8).

Authors: Aktaş Pelin
Published: February 2021

BaTi5O11 has been widely researched due to its unique microwave properties. Conventionally, it is challenging to obtain this compound as a single phase. The BaTi5O11 was synthesized via a co-precipitation technique using an aqueous solution of titanium(IV)(triethanolaminato) isopropoxide, barium nitrate and ammonia as precursors, which are stable in aqueous media. The phase evolution, purity, and structure were identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy analysis. The desired BaTi5O11 structure was obtained by calcination at 900?C. Furthermore, the structure was characterized by TGA, FT-IR and Raman studies. The study showed that the particles were between 80 and 120 nm in size and the average crystallite size was determined from the Scherrer formula as 68.1 nm at 900?C.

Based on the Constitution Number 11 of 2006 on the Aceh government, has given Aceh province considerable authority to develop its territory, including establishing diplomatic relations with the regions others abroad through the Paradiplomacy practice. But, with this considerable authority, Aceh is still the poorest region in Sumatra and the poorest number 6 in Indonesia based on the statistics centre data (BPS) in 2019. This means that Aceh still fails to exploit its social and natural conditions for the development of its territory. In This research we used  qualitative method, by gathering previous studies through observation, interviews and data collection. Aceh could utilize the "Tsunami Disaster" to become the initial capital to practice paradiplomacy with other regions abroad. Actually Aceh also has other capital, namely as a former conflict area and also as the best coffee producer in the world. Therefore, Aceh has at least three large capitals to establish cooperation with foreign parties through the paradiplomacy practice, with the concept of sister Province, Sister City.

THE ORTHODOX RELIGIOUS PUBLICATIONS IN ROMANIA FROM THE CLASSICAL PRINTING TO ONLINE EDITIONS
Authors: DASCĂLU Nicolae
Published: February 2021

A research on the rise and decline of the Romanian Orthodox religious media in the last 30 years cannot ignore the paradigm shifts caused by the emergence of new information and communication technologies and the global Internet network. The theological and spiritual contents do not instantly adapt to technological innovations and, therefore, the printing press remains a space for reflection in religious communication, between the opportunities and risks of rapid change. The transition of religious publications from print editions to online editions is necessary. However, by virtue of spiritual discernment, it requires a balance between tradition and renewal. This balance is kept due to three elements: the respect for the heritage of the printed sacred culture, the pastoral care for the older generations and the awareness of the responsibility for the unaltered transmission of the spiritual content of faith to the generation of digital natives.
THE PSALMS, THE HYMNS, AND THE TEXTS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THEIR USE IN HOLY MONDAY AND TUESDAY
Authors: ARTEMI Eirini
Published: February 2021

The worship of the Orthodox Eastern Church involves a multitude of references hints and images of the Old Testament, in all the sequences (liturgies) and hymns. Particularly in the Holy and Great Week, the texts of the Old Testament are used with particular emphasis. On Holy Monday and on Holy Tuesday there is use of the texts of the Old Testament. Holy and Great Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday remind us of the eschatological meaning of Pascha. In this paper, we are going to analyze the real and deep influence of the Old Testament to these days of Holy Monday and Tuesday and why the Orthodox Church chose to use the Old Testament although the Jews refused Christ and led him to death. The goal is to show that Orthodox Greek Christians use these texts from the Old Testament because they have no hostile attitude against Jews.
LOVING NATION, ENDORSING THE ECCLESIAL UNIVERSAL: A ROMANIAN PERSPECTIVE
Authors: MUCICHESCU Paul Andrei
Published: February 2021

This theological and philosophical article aims for a solution to the provocation of nationalism and offers a series of interconnected arguments for this purpose. In doing so, it makes use of Romanian cultural realities and sources (stances of Dumitru Stăniloae, of Daniil Sandu Tudor and others, as well as dictionary entries). The considerations start from the topic of politics and of what politics consists of – ideology. Turning towards ecclesiology and social theology, the relationship between hate and phyletism is assessed. Considering this relationship, the analysis shows that, from an Orthodox point of view, true nationalism should be understood as a form of love – corruptible but legitimate. Ideological nationalism is identified as its opposite. The Gordian Knot of ideological nationalism is found to be a false understanding of national interests. Finally, a second relation is investigated – the one between the national and the universal, seen from Romanian premises.
