Objective: Despite available effective treatments for mental health disorders, few patients in need receive even the most basic care. Integrated telehealth services may be a viable option to increase access to mental health care. The aim of this qualitative process evaluation embedded in a randomized controlled feasibility trial was to explore health providers’ experiences with a mental health care model integrating mental health specialist video consultations (MHSVC) and primary care.Methods: A qualitative process evaluation focusing on MHSVC in primary care was conducted. In 13 semistructured interviews, we assessed the experience of all mental health specialists, primary care physicians, and medical assistants who participated in the trial. A thematic analysis, focusing on the implementation, mechanisms of impact, and context, was applied to investigate the data.Results: Considering (1) the implementation, participants evaluated the consultations as feasible, easy to use, and time-saving. Concerning (2) the mechanisms of impact, the consultations were regarded as effective for patients. Providers attributed the patients’ improvements to two key aspects: the familiarity of the primary care practice and the fast access to specialist mental healthcare. Mental health specialists observed trustful therapeutic alliances emerging and described their experience as comparable to same-room care. However, compared to same-room care, specialists perceived the video consultations as more challenging and sometimes more exhausting due to the additional effort required for establishing therapeutic alliances. Regarding (3) the intervention’s context, shorter travel distances positively affected the implementation, while technical failures, i.e. poor Internet connectivity, emerged as the main barrier.Conclusions: MHSVCs in primary care are feasible and successful in improving access to mental healthcare for patients. To optimize the engagement and comfort of both patients and health providers, future work should focus on empirical determinants for establishing robust therapeutic alliances with patients receiving video consultations (e.g., leveraging nonverbal cues for therapeutic purposes).
Big Five traits, approach-avoidance motivation, concerns and adherence with COVID-19 prevention guidelines during peak of pandemics in Croatia
Authors: Zuro Barbara , Krupic Dino
Published: December 2020

Without the vaccine, the only way to prevent the spread of coronavirus is following Covid-19 preventive guidelines such as keeping social distance, wearing masks and gloves, reducing mobility, etc. Success depends on how many individuals strictly follow the suggestions from epidemiologists. In this study, we examined who and why is adhering to the guidelines. A community sample of 500 participants fulfilled a short Big Five Inventory (BFI), Questionnaire of Approach and Avoidance Motivation (QAAM), and two scales constructed according to the Covid-19 epidemiological guidelines in Croatia. The results of the hierarchical regression analysis indicate that agreeable and conscientious individuals are complying more with preventive measures. In addition, approach, not avoidance, motivation appears to be more important in following the guidelines. Results are discussed in terms of framing messages to explain goals that might be reached by compliant behaviour rather than emphasising the negative consequences of the pandemic. Emphasising negative consequences seems to produce negative emotional states with no beneficial changes on the behavioural level.
Speaking-out or Remaining Silent? The Importance of Interplay Between Personal Attitudes and Perceived Group Norms in Outspokenness
Authors: KHAMZINA Kamilla , Cougnon Louise-Amélie , Guimond Serge
Published: December 2020

Europeans’ attitudes and perceived group norms on immigration were examined from social psychological and semantic approaches. While overall personal attitudes are neutral and significantly different from perceived norms (mismatch), a small minority with extremely negative attitudes was observed. As predicted, the mismatch shaped outspokenness and identification with Europe moderated it. A conformity orientation among low identifiers and a resistance among high identifiers were revealed. Such resistance might is partly due to robust and vocal minority of opponents to the immigration. The need of distinguishing between attitudes and norms is discussed in regards to explanation of rising intolerance to migration.
Predictors of listening-related fatigue across the adult lifespan
Authors: McGarrigle Ronan , Knight Sarah , Hornsby Benjamin , Mattys Sven
Published: December 2020

Listening-related fatigue is a potentially serious negative consequence of an aging auditory and cognitive system. However, the impact of age on listening-related fatigue, and the factors underpinning any such effect, remain unexplored. Using data from a large sample of adults (N = 281), we conducted a conditional process analysis to examine potential mediators and moderators of age-related changes in listening-related fatigue. Mediation analyses revealed opposing effects of age on listening-related fatigue; aging was associated with increased listening-related fatigue for individuals with higher self-reported hearing impairment, but also decreased listening-related fatigue via reductions in mood disturbance and sensory processing sensitivity. Results also suggested that the effect of auditory attention ability on listening-related fatigue was moderated by sensitivity; for individuals with high sensory processing sensitivity, better auditory attention ability was associated with increased fatigue. These findings shed light on the perceptual, cognitive, and psychological factors underlying age-related changes in listening-related fatigue.
Is Lying Bound to Commitment? Empirically Investigating Deceptive Presuppositions, Implicatures, and Actions
Authors: Reins Louisa Marie , Wiegmann Alex
Published: December 2020

Lying is an important moral phenomenon that most people are affected by on a daily basis—be it in personal relationships, in political debates, or in the form of fake news. Nevertheless, surprisingly little is known about what actually constitutes a lie. According to the traditional definition of lying, a person lies if they explicitly express something they believe to be false. Consequently, it is often assumed that people cannot lie by more indirectly communicating believed-false claims, for instance by merely conversationally implicating them. In this paper, we subject this claim to an empirical test. In a preregistered study of 300 participants, we investigate how people judge cases of implicit deceptions that would usually be excluded by the traditional definition of lying (i.e., conversational implicatures, presuppositions, and non- verbal actions). Our results show that people do in fact consider it possible to lie by indirect means, suggesting that people have a broader concept of lying than is usually assumed. Moreover, our findings indicate that lie judgments are closely tied to the extent to which agents are perceived as having committed themselves to the believed-false claims they have communicated. We discuss the implications of our results for the traditional definition of lying and propose a new commitment-based definition of lying that can account for the findings of our experiment.
Consolidation of crossmodal correspondences between auditory pitch and spatial features in childhood
Authors: Fernandez-Prieto Irune , Pons Ferran , Navarra Jordi
Published: December 2020

Crossmodal correspondences between auditory pitch and spatial elevation have been demonstrated extensively in adults. High- and low-pitched sounds tend to be mapped onto upper and lower spatial positions, respectively. We hypothesised that this crossmodal link could be influenced by the development of spatial and linguistic abilities during childhood. To explore this possibility, 70 children (9-12 years old) divided into three groups (4th, 5th and 6th grade of primary school) completed a crossmodal test to evaluate the perceptual correspondence between pure tones and spatial elevation. Additionally, we addressed possible correlations between the students’ performance in this crossmodal task and other auditory, spatial and linguistic measures. The participants’ auditory pitch performance was measured in a frequency classification test. The participants also completed three tests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-IV (WISC-IV): (1) Vocabulary, to assess verbal intelligence, (2) Matrix reasoning, to measure visuospatial reasoning and (3) Blocks design, to analyse visuospatial/motor skills. The results revealed crossmodal effects between pitch and spatial elevation. Additionally, we found a correlation between the performance in the block design subtest with the pitch-elevation crossmodal correspondence and the auditory frequency classification test. No correlation was observed between auditory tasks with matrix and vocabulary subtests. This suggests (1) that the crossmodal correspondence between pitch and spatial elevation is already consolidated at the age of 9 and also (2) that good performance in a pitch-based auditory task is mildly associated, in childhood, with good performance in visuospatial/motor tasks.
The Spatial Diffusion of Social Conformity and its Effect on Voter Turnout
Authors: Coleman Stephen
Published: December 2020

Social conformity can spread social norms and behaviors through a society. This research examines such a process geographically for conformity with the norm that citizens should vote and consequent voter turnout. A mathematical model for this process is developed based on the Laplace equation, and predictions are tested with qualitative and quantitative spatial analyses of state-level voter turnout in American presidential elections. Results show that the diffusion of conformist behavior affects the local degree of turnout and produces highly specific and predictable voting behavior patterns across the United States, confirming the model.

Published: December 2020

Deep underground reservoirs are characterized by a stable structure with unique properties to contain and retain various production waste for a long time in a safe condition. In this context, deep underground aquifers are considered as localized underground targets designed for industrial waste disposal to prevent or reduce a maninduced load on surface water bodies, resources of which are sought-for the drinking and domestic water supply. 

In the environmental legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the limits for the environmental emissions are established within the maximum permissible discharges (MPD) of industrial wastewater exclusively for surface water bodies. At the same time, no define procedural conditions were determined in the legal norms for MPD limitation when injecting industrial wastewater to the underground aquifers that are also referred to the water bodies as defined. 

A methodological approach to the limitation of harmful and (or) hazardous substances in industrial wastewater injected to the deep underground localized horizons is considered in the proposed review based on the existing developments of the leading oil companies in the Republic of Kazakhstan taking into account the requirements of the national environmental legislation.

Numerical thermal performance of free convection in metal foam heat sinks with fin edges
Authors: Mtasher Uglah Aqeel , J. Jubear Abbas
Published: December 2020

This study introduces numerical investigation of natural convection in metal foam heat sinks with two types of fin edges namely fillet and sharp edges. Aluminum metal foam of various pore densities (5, 10, 20 PPI) and sets of porosities ( ) are used in the simulations. The dimensions of the samples were 100 mm length, 100 mm height, 10 mm thickness and the spacing between fins were kept at 8 mm. Then the metal foam strips were installed onto an aluminum base plate (100 * 100 * 3.5 mm3). The investigation has been performed by control volume method . As well as, the energy equations are established on a principle that based on a local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) model in which the temperature of the fluid and the solid matrix are solved separately. The heat input was different from 4 to 30 W in numerical runs and the air was used as a working fluid. The results show that the base temperature of the heat sink is lower for the new design of edges. Therefore, the proposed approach of the heat sink has significant potential to be utilized to enhance the thermal performance of heat sinks and thereby to develop more advanced effective cooling devices and techniques. The maximum enhancement of the heat transfer coefficient with fillet profile reached 5.6% greater than fins with sharp edges

Purpose: to determine the impact of phosphorus content in water on the degree of eutrophication of small rivers Grushevka and Tuzlov in the area of Novocherkassk. Materials and methods. The data obtained as a result of the reconnaissance survey of small rivers in the area of Novocherkassk and laboratory studies were used as research materials. The assessment of the mass concentration of phosphates in water was carried out according to the RD 52.24.382-2006 method “Mass concentration of phosphates and polyphosphates in waters. Photometric Measurement Method”. Subsequently, the materials were processed by the method of system analysis and empirical generalization, an integrated approach to the study of measures to determine the degree of eutrophication of small rivers was applied, the works of Russian authors who had previously studied this problem were studied by method of comparison and generalization of data. Results. The concentration of phosphorus in water is often used as a criterion for the degree of eutrophication of rivers. Small rivers of Rostov region – the Tuzlov and the Grushevka are water bodies of the highest category of fishery significance. In the area of Novocherkassk they are subject to high eutrophication, which is caused by the discharge of insufficiently treated wastewater by the purification plants of LLC “PС “Novocherkassk Electric Locomotive Works” and the Kadamovskaya treatment facilities. Under the conditions of a drying out climate and a decrease in the discharge of these rivers, the discharge of nutrients in such concentrations can lead to their complete degradation. Conclusions. The rivers Grushevka and Tuzlov in Novocherkassk area are subject to high eutrophication. The main reason is the discharge of wastewater from the LLC “PС “Novocherkassk Electric Locomotive Works” and the Kadamovskaya treatment facilities, which are insufficiently purified from phosphorus compounds. Filtration fields of treatment facilities cannot cope with the retention of phosphorus compounds, and additional measures are required to clean the discharged water.

Published: December 2020

Purpose: substantiation of environmental indicators of the efficiency of functioning of agro-industrial territory of advanced development (APTOR). Materials and methods. The methods of systematic, complex study, comparison, analysis and generalization of data were used. Results. As a result of the study, indicators that characterize the efficiency of APTOR functioning from an environmental point of view have been identified. The proposed indicators are harmonized with previously developed, widespread and recognized domestic and international methods. The main focus of the proposed indicators is aimed at assessing the effectiveness of management and operative activity. To characterize the efficiency of the APTOR activity based on the use of reclamation technologies, including reclamation parks, it is recommended to use, first of all, indicators indicating the efficiency of water resources use, among which the definition in dynamics (before and after the APTOR operation) “water consumption in the calculation per unit (in physical or value terms) of products (agricultural raw materials and products from them) produced at APTOR”. Due to the fact that the APTOR activities, which is planned to include many technological processes, can have a significant impact on other components of the environment, except for water resources, it is proposed to calculate indicators demonstrating the impact of APTOR activities on the state of air and soil in terms of energy efficiency, transport efficiency, pollution and waste management. On the basis of the indicators for the above recognized equal four blocks, an integrated indicator can be calculated. Conclusions. The use of the proposed indicators will make it possible to assess the effectiveness of the ecological activity of a new economic entity: an agro-industrial territory of advanced development.

Metal powder is the main raw material in the manufacture of powder metallurgy-based products. Powder-making is the initial step before the powder is packed and pressed in a mold to form the desired product. This research designs and fabricates an atomizer to produce powder from liquid aluminum using a pressurized water jet system. The research stage starts from the drawing of the tool design by considering the volume of liquid aluminum, the diameter of the outlet of liquid metal, the air pressure, and the angle of attack of the water beam. The second stage is the manufacture of the atomization chamber by referring to the design drawing by making parts of the tool/frame, liquid metal feeder parts, making the walls of metal plates, making the nozzle holder, and collecting the powder parts and the water exhaust channel. The third stage is assembly, which is to unite the main parts of the aluminum atomizer. The final stage is the testing of the atomization tool using 250 Psi pressurized water with variations of attack angle was 30Ëš, 35Ëš, 40Ëš, 45Ëš, and 50Ëš with a metal descending channel diameter of 5 mm. The results showed that the 45o spray angle gave the highest percentage of powder amount and the lowest 40o angle resulted in the size of aluminum metal powder in the range 0.105 mm-0.5 mm. The size of the powder was obtained at an angle of attack of 35o, which is an average of 39.5 um, and the largest size of powder was obtained at a spray angle of 40o of 89.5 um. The resulting powder form is irregular in shape, flakes (flakes), spheroid (spherical), and spongy (hollow).

Administration by algorithm: A risk management framework
Authors: Bannister Frank , Connolly Regina
Published: December 2020

Algorithmic decision-making is neither a recent phenomenon nor one necessarily associated with artificial intelligence (AI), though advances in AI are increasingly resulting in what were heretofore human decisions being taken over by, or becoming dependent on, algorithms and technologies like machine learning. Such developments promise many potential benefits, but are not without certain risks. These risks are not always well understood. It is not just a question of machines making mistakes; it is the embedding of values, biases and prejudices in software which can discriminate against both individuals and groups in society. Such biases are often hard either to detect or prove, particularly where there are problems with transparency and accountability and where such systems are outsourced to the private sector. Consequently, being able to detect and categorise these risks is essential in order to develop a systematic and calibrated response. This paper proposes a simple taxonomy of decision-making algorithms in the public sector and uses this to build a risk management framework with a number of components including an accountability structure and regulatory governance. This framework is designed to assist scholars and practitioners interested in ensuring structured accountability and legal regulation of AI in the public sphere.

We report a case of giant hepatic hemangioma of the newborn with KMS. RESULTS: The patient was born at 37 gestational weeks and 2 days via cesarean section; weight at birth was 2952 g. Congenital duodenal atresia was noted during the fetal period. DIC developed after delivery and a giant liver hemangioma was diagnosed via abdominal CT. The cause of DIC was Kasabach–Merritt syndrome owing to a giant hepatic hemangioma. First, combination therapy of 2 mg/kg/day of prednisolone and 0.2 mg/kg/day of propranolol was initiated form enterostomy. However, the size of the hepatic hemangioma did not alter, as observed via image evaluation. Therefore, 0.3 mg/kg/day of everolimus was administered frorm enterostomy. Subsequently, the size of the hepatic hemangioma was assessed via image evaluation. Although it did not alter, blood flow to the hepatic hemangioma decreased and thrombocytopenia was also suppressed. We performed hepatic lateral segmentectomy, radical operation for duodenal atresia. The pathological diagnosis of the removed tumor was infantile hemangioma. CONCLUSION: We report everolimus may be useful when PSL and propranolol are ineffective.
Guidelines and scientifically-based spina bifida care: Guidance across the lifespan in a global health context

The COVID-19 pandemic has reminded us that, if of nothing else, we live in a globalized community. Enthusiasm for evidenced-based medical knowledge is also contagious. Just as the incidence of SARS-CoV-2, the associated coronavirus, has had a borderless impact on global public health, so too neural tube defects have widespread significance. Previously, the concept of “blue marble health” was introduced as a policy framework to illustrate trends in the geographic distribution of health disparities affecting at-risk populations that live, not only in low-income countries, but also in pockets of the populace in wealthier nations. Subsequently, the Spina Bifida Association’s Collaborative Care Network, through a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, recently produced the “Guidelines for the Care of People with Spina Bifida.” While language differences, immigration, cultural beliefs, acculturation, local resources and social determinants of health, must be taken into account when these guidelines are implemented across the globe, they could not come at a more suitable time. The current digital age, as well as open access to this special issue, will ensure their ongoing wide distribution.

Authors: Wilson Pamela E. , Mukherjee Shubhra
Published: December 2020

The Spina Bifida Association (SBA) is the organization that represents the needs of the population with spina bifida (SB). They are tasked with advocacy, education, optimizing care, and providing a social voice for those with spina bifida. In response to the tenet of optimizing care they were tasked with developing up to date clinical care guidelines which address health care needs for those impacted by spina bifida throughout their lifespan. This article will discuss the SB Mobility Healthcare Guidelines from the 2018 Spina Bifida Association’s Fourth Edition of the Guidelines for the Care of People with Spina Bifida.

Nutritional challenges and a lack of activity can lead to health problems across the lifespan for people with spina bifida. Children and adults with spina bifida are also at greater risk of being classified as overweight or obese compared to their peers without the condition. Therefore, early recognition of nutrition problems, weight management counseling, and timely referrals for evaluation and management of diet and activity can help those with spina bifida and their families achieve a healthy lifestyle. This article details the development of the Nutrition, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity Guidelines, which are part of the 2018 Spina Bifida Association’s Fourth Edition of the Guidelines for the Care of People with Spina Bifida. It discusses the identification and management of poor nutrition and prevention of obesity for children, adolescents, and adults with spina bifida and highlights areas requiring further research.

Published: December 2020

Women and girls with spina bifida have specific health care concerns. It is essential that they, and their health care providers have access to information to help them make healthy choices throughout their lifespan. This article aims to address key aspects of health pertinent to girls and women with spina bifida and outlines the SB Women’s Health Guidelines for the Care of People with Spina Bifida. Further research into this area is needed.
Can citizen science complement official data sources that serve as evidence-base for policies and practice to improve water quality?

Published: December 2020

Addressing environmental issues in policy making requires recognising these issues as part of a complex socio-ecological system. The evidence base for such policies and associated monitoring and implementation measures, as well as related official indicators, statistics and environmental accounts are receiving increasing attention. This paper explores the potential of citizen science as a non-traditional source of data to complement the current data production process for evidence-based policy-making, using pollution of surface waters and its effect on associated ecosystems as an example. The paper develops a framework that helps to explore the official data production process in relation to different purposes of environmental policies. This highlights different challenges that the current official data production process sees itself confronted with in relation to the different purposes of the policies and associated monitoring regimes. These questions are explored with reference to the case of evidence-based policy making on water quality of surface freshwater in the EU, with a focus on Luxembourg. The analysis is based on extensive documentary analysis and literature review, as well as a series of interviews and participatory workshops with various stakeholders, and first results of a pilot project work with engaged citizen volunteers to solicit data on water quality with a focus on its nutrient content. On this basis, this paper argues that citizen science has the clear potential to meaningfully contribute both to the evidence base for policy and practice, as well as to an improved governance process.
Validation of a next-generation sensory organization test in adults with and without vestibular dysfunction

BACKGROUND: The traditional Sensory Organization Test (T-SOT) is a gold standard balance test; however, the psychometric properties of assessing sensory organization with a virtual-reality-based posturography device have not been established. OBJECTIVE: Our overall aims were to assess the criterion, concurrent, and convergent validity of a next-generation Sensory Organization Test (NG-SOT). METHODS: Thirty-four adults (17 vestibular-impaired) participated. We compared the area under the curve (AUC) for receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis for the T-SOT and NG-SOT composite scores. Between-group and between-test differences for the composite and sensory analysis scores from each SOT were assessed using Wilcoxon Rank Sum tests. Additionally, we ran Spearman correlations between the NG-SOT composite score and outcomes of interest. RESULTS: The AUCs for the NG-SOT and T-SOT were 0.950 (0.883, 1) and 0.990 (0.969, 1) respectively (p = 0.168). The median composite, vision, and visual preference scores were lower on the NG-SOT compared to the T-SOT; whereas, the median somatosensory score was higher on the NG-SOT compared to the T-SOT. Associations between the composite score and patient-reported or performance-based outcomes ranged from poor to strong. CONCLUSIONS: The NG-SOT is a valid measure of balance in adults. However, the results of the NG-SOT and T-SOT should not be used interchangeably.
Clinical management of Menière’s disease: Clinician perspective in 2020
Authors: Weckel A. , Gallois Y.
Published: December 2020

Menière’s disease (MD) still presents both diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. Today, this pathology is diagnosed only on clinical criteria. The development of high resolution magnetic resonance imaging of the inner is very promising to improve diagnostic criteria in MD. MD treatment depending on the practitioner and the clinical center, is mainly based on conservative therapies, and if this fails, non-ablative or ablative therapies. MD therefore always exposes clinicians to diagnostic uncertainties, but also to therapeutic difficulties which still lead to destructive treatments, in the absence of targeted, curative treatments, acting on the cause and not on the consequence of the pathology.
