Authors: Ren Benny , Xia Cedric Huchuan , Gehrman Philip , Barnett Ian , Satterthwaite Theodore
Published: July 2022

Background

Irregularities in circadian rhythms have been associated with adverse health outcomes. The regularity of rhythms can be quantified using passively collected smartphone data to provide clinically relevant biomarkers of routine.

Objective

This study aims to develop a metric to quantify the regularity of activity rhythms and explore the relationship between routine and mood, as well as demographic covariates, in an outpatient psychiatric cohort.

Methods

Passively sensed smartphone data from a cohort of 38 young adults from the Penn or Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Lifespan Brain Institute and Outpatient Psychiatry Clinic at the University of Pennsylvania were fitted with 2-state continuous-time hidden Markov models representing active and resting states. The regularity of routine was modeled as the hour-of-the-day random effects on the probability of state transition (ie, the association between the hour-of-the-day and state membership). A regularity score, Activity Rhythm Metric, was calculated from the continuous-time hidden Markov models and regressed on clinical and demographic covariates.

Results

Regular activity rhythms were associated with longer sleep durations (P=.009), older age (P=.001), and mood (P=.049).

Conclusions

Passively sensed Activity Rhythm Metrics are an alternative to existing metrics but do not require burdensome survey-based assessments. Low-burden, passively sensed metrics based on smartphone data are promising and scalable alternatives to traditional measurements.
Fine-tuning strategies for classifying community-engaged research studies using transformer-based models: Classification System and Improvement Study (Preprint)
Authors: Ferrell Brian J.
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND

Community-Engaged Research (CEnR) is where institutions of higher education collaborate with organizations in their communities to exchange resources and knowledge that enhance its wellbeing. Community engagement is an integral part of a university's mission; however, there are unique challenges with reporting CEnR metrics. These challenges often restrict external relations within communities as well as federally funded research programs. Capturing studies where communities are "highly engaged" allows institutions to be more informed about the prevalence of CEnR.

OBJECTIVE

We propose an updated approach done on our own previous experiments to classify Community-Engaged Research, capturing distinct levels of involvement a community partner has in the overall direction of a research study.

METHODS

This paper describes the use of fine-tuning methods such as discriminative learning rates and freezing layers across three transformer-based models (BERT, Bio+ClinicalBERT, and XLM-RoBERTa), adding to the empirical evidence that the utilization of fine-tuning strategies significantly improves transformer-based models. Using deep learning to classify hand labeled CEnR studies to aid the tracking of these studies to our knowledge has not been done before.

RESULTS

Bio+ClinicalBERT appears to be superior, achieving a 73.08% accuracy and 62.94% F1 score on the hold out set. All the models trained in these experiments outperformed our previous ones by 10-23% in F1 score and accuracy.

CONCLUSIONS

Transfer learning is a viable method for tracking these studies, and we were able to provide evidence that the utilization of fine-tuning strategies significantly improves transformer-based models, as well as a tool for categorizing the type and volume of engagement.

Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND

Podcasts are an unconventional method of disseminating information through audio to the masses. They are an emerging portable technology and a valuable resource that provides unlimited access for promoting health among participants. Podcasts related to health care have been used as a source of medical education, but there is a dearth of studies on the use of podcasts as a source of health information. This study will provide new perspectives by implementing the SANGYAN podcast, which contains information about COVID-19 and other health conditions. 

OBJECTIVE

The study aims to determine the usefulness and effectiveness of the SANGYAN podcast as a digital health intervention to address misinformation related to COVID-19 and other health conditions among individuals in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

METHODS

An implementation and evaluation study will be conducted with 500 participants from the Panimalar Medical College Hospital & Research Institute (PMCHRI) and Rural Health Training Centre in Chennai. Among individuals aged 18 years and older, those residing in the selected urban and rural settings who visit the outpatient department of the PMCHRI and Rural Health Training Centre will be recruited. For participants who consent to the study, their sociodemographic details will be noted and their health literacy will be assessed using the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine scale. Once the participants have listened to the podcast, the usability, acceptance, and user satisfaction of the podcast will be assessed. Descriptive analysis will be used for continuous variables, and frequency analysis will be used for categorical variables. Bivariate analysis will be conducted to understand the correlation of sociodemographic features in response to perception, usefulness, acceptance, and user satisfaction of the podcast. All analysis will be performed using SPSS (version 24), and the results will be reported with 95% CIs and P<.05.

RESULTS

As of December 2024, the SANGYAN podcast has been launched for voluntary usage in the PMCHRI.

CONCLUSIONS

The finding from this research project will aid in the development and implementation of data-driven, evidence-based, and human-centered behavior change interventions using podcasts to address public health challenges among populations living in diverse settings. This would also help in enhancing the acceptability of podcasts as a source of health-related information.

Published: July 2022

Background and objectives

Extremely low gestational age neonates born <28 weeks gestation are at risk for chronic disease. We sought to describe the prevalence of kidney outcomes by gestational age and determine risk factors for their development.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

The Recombinant Erythropoietin for Protection of Infant Renal Disease (REPAIReD) study examined kidney outcomes of extremely low gestational age neonates enrolled in the Preterm Epo NeuroProtection Trial (PENUT) study. Kidney function, urine albumin, and BP were measured at 2-year (24±2 months) corrected gestational age. We compared outcomes across gestational age categories and evaluated associations between kidney-related outcomes and neonatal and maternal characteristics. The primary outcome was eGFR <90 ml/min per 1.73 m2 (CKD); secondary outcomes were spot urine albumin-creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/g (albuminuria) and either systolic BP or diastolic BP >90th percentile for height, age, and sex.

Results

A total of 832 survived to 2 years, and 565 (68%) had at least one outcome measured. Overall, 297 (53%) had one abnormal kidney outcome; 61 (18%) had an eGFR <90 ml/min per 1.73 m2, 155 (36%) had albuminuria, 65 (22%) had elevated systolic BP, and 128 (44%) had elevated diastolic BP. Gestational age (odds ratio, 0.94; 95% confidence interval, 0.89 to 0.99), birth weight z-score (odds ratio, 0.92; 95% confidence interval, 0.85 to 0.98), and prenatal steroids (odds ratio, 1.23; 95% confidence interval, 1.08 to 1.39) were associated with an eGFR <90 ml/min per 1.73 m2. An elevated systolic BP was associated with indomethacin use (odds ratio, 1.18; 95% confidence interval, 1.04 to 1.33) and Black race (odds ratio, 1.19; 95% confidence interval, 1.01 to 1.39); elevated diastolic BP was associated with male sex (odds ratio, 1.29; 95% confidence interval, 1.12 to 1.49), severe AKI (odds ratio, 1.24; 95% confidence interval, 1.04 to 1.48), and indomethacin use (odds ratio, 1.16; 95% confidence interval, 1.01 to 1.33).

Conclusions

Approximately 18% of extremely low gestational age neonates have CKD, 36% have albuminuria, 22% have an elevated systolic BP, and 44% have an elevated diastolic BP at 2 years of age. Gestational age, birthweight z-score, and prenatal steroids were associated with CKD. Male sex, Black race, indomethacin use, and severe AKI were associated with elevated BP.

Bank Indonesia (2017) states that financial technology can be categorized into five categories, namely: 1) payment system, 2) market support, 3) investment management and risk management, 4) loans, financing, and capital provision, and 5) other financial services. This research is quantitative with the type of survey research. The data source used is primary data obtained through an online questionnaire. The sample used was 385 respondents who were in the Jabodetabek, Indonesia, aged 18–45 years and had been using an e-wallet for at least 1 year with a sampling technique namely purposive sampling. The analytical method used is partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS software version 3.2.9. The results of this study conclude that ease of use, security, economic benefits, and financial ability simultaneously have a positive and significant influence on continuance usage intention of financial technology payment in Jabodetabek Indonesia. This shows that the easier it is to use, the more secure it is to use, economic benefits and financial ability will increase the consumer behavior on continuance usage intention of financial technology payment
Fixed-time cluster consensus for multi-agent systems with objective optimization on directed networks
Authors: Duan Suna , Yu Zhiyong , Jiang Haijun , Ouyang Deqiang
Published: July 2022

This paper studies the cluster consensus of multi-agent systems (MASs)
with objective optimization on directed and detail balanced networks, in
which the global optimization objective function is a linear combination
of local objective functions of all agents. Firstly, a directed and
detail balanced network is constructed that depends on the weights of
the global objective function. Secondly, two new continuous-time
optimization algorithms are proposed based on time-invariant and
time-varying cost functions to ensure that all agents reach cluster
consensus within a fixed-time, and the global objective function
asymptotically reaches the optimal solution. Finally, two examples are
presented to show the efficacy of the theoretical results.

Breaking down the wall between ecology and evolution
Authors: Loreau Michel , Jarne Philippe , Martiny Jennifer
Published: July 2022

Despite their close links, ecology and evolution have remained separate
disciplines to this day. Breaking down the wall between the two
disciplines is essential for at least two reasons. First, this wall is
an obstacle to the study of most microorganisms, which constitute a
large part of the Earth’s biodiversity. Asexual reproduction, gene
transfer and the lack of a clear definition of the species taxonomic
level blur the distinction between ecological changes in species
abundances and evolutionary changes in genotype frequencies in microbes.
Second, a key question that biodiversity science will have to address in
the coming decades is how ecological systems will cope with rapid
environmental change. Generalising the concept of adaptation across
multiple timescales and levels of organisation would provide an
integrative framework for studying the combined ecological and
evolutionary responses to environmental change, and thus help us to
address one the major scientific challenges of our time.

Kafe saat ini tidak hanya sekedar tempat yang dikunjungi untuk kebutuhan mengisi perut semata, namun juga sudah menjelma menjadi sebuah tempat bagi kaum muda untuk bercengkerama dan bersosialisasi. Didasari oleh hal ini, pemilik dan perancang kafe berusaha membuat ruang kafe menjadi senyaman dan semenarik mungkin. Dalam rangka mewujudkan hal ini ada elemen-elemen terkait salah satunya adalah elemen pencahayaan. Dalam hal ini aspek yang diperhatikan dalam pencahayaan ruang kafe adalah jenis lampu dan warna cahaya digunakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan bukti tentang bagaimana pemilihan jenis dan warna pencahayaan pada kafe dapat membentuk suatu suasana ruang juga kesan / citra bagi pengunjung kafe. Metode yang digunakan metode kualitatif yaitu dengan mewawancarai narasumber terkait dan metode kuantitatif dengan penyebaran kuesioner kepada 100 responden pengunjung Artivator Cafe untuk menentukan adakah keterkaitan antara jenis dan warna pencahayaan dengan suasana kafe dan kesan yang ditangkap oleh pengunjung berdasarkan pernyataan dari arsitek kafe. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa benar pemilihan jenis dan warna pencahayaan yang tepat dapat mempengaruhi kesan yang ditangkap oleh pengunjung. Pada Artivator Cafe pemilihan warna kekuningan (warm white) menimbulkan kesan akrab, santai dan ceria. Namun pemilihan warna cahaya kekuningan dianggap oleh sebagian pengunjung kurang efisien untuk tujuan-tujuan yang lebih dari sekedar makan, minum maupun bersosialisasi, contohnya untuk rapat dan presentasi.

Determining the physical parameters of geomaterials under high temperature and pressure conditions is necessary in connection with the fundamental issues of geology and geophysics. It is also aimed at solving applied problems, such as establishing relationships between physical parameters and chemical components of rocks under the earthly conditions of temperature and pressure. The purpose of the paper is to study the peculiarities of the influence of chemical components on the elastic and density properties of igneous and metamorphic rocks of the continental and oceanic lithosphere under high temperature and pressure conditions. The elastic and density characteristics of the rocks of the continental and oceanic lithosphere were determined by the ultrasonic pulse method. The experiments were carried out in a high-pressure solid-phase installation of a cylinder-piston type. The technique provides for the simultaneous determination of the longitudinal and transverse waves velocity and density in the course of one experiment on one rock sample at high temperature and pressure conditions up to 1.5-2.0 GPa. Based on an experimental study of the elastic and density properties of the rocks of the continental and oceanic lithosphere, the research revealed a qualitative connection between these parameters and chemical composition of the samples under high temperature and pressure conditions. It is first established that the studied rocks demonstrate regional dependence in the influence of oxides on the elastic wave velocity and density magnitude. Therefore they increase with the growing pressure in some areas, and decrease in others. This phenomenon is explained by the difference in the atomic structure of matter. It was revealed that in the section of the lithosphere, the speed and density of elastic waves increase with depth. Moreover, chemical composition of rocks changes from acid to medium, basic, and, finally, ultrabasic composition. The relationship of the chemical composition of rocks and minerals with elastic and density properties makes it possible to directly search for solid minerals.

Problem solving in everyday life is closely related to mathematics. However, there are still many students who have not been able to solve the problem mathematically. This research is a qualitative descriptive study that aims to examine the mistakes made by high school students in solving problems on the subject of geometry based on Polya's problem solving steps. The subjects of this study were 19 grade 12 high school students who had completed their study period and were in the period of participating in the college selection. Research data obtained from problem solving tests and interviews on the subject. Based on the results of the research conducted, the mistakes that are mostly made by students are in planning problem solving and implementing problem solving plans. Errors made by students are caused by a lack of understanding of students in mastering the material and linking various materials so that they cannot solve problems logically and correctly. The results of this study recommend teachers to provide examples of problems and practice solving more complex problems so that students can minimize errors in solving problems.

Published: July 2022

Lebanon’s collapse is of unprecedented magnitude relative to its economy. The crisis combines a foreign debt default, a currency devaluation and banking sector bankruptcy in a “perfect storm” unseen since the 19th century, according to the World Bank. More than an economic collapse, its consequences are threatening the survival of the country as we know it. Lebanon’s crisis is no accident. Many date the start of the collapse to October 2019 and the popular uprisings in the country. Most citizens are in denial, unable to grasp the depth of the economic and financial losses they face. But the sources of the collapse can be found earlier, at the end of the 1990s. The currency peg fixed in 1997 allowed deficits to accumulate that have been unsustainable since 2016. More than a financial crisis, it is the end the economic and social contract established in 1989 to end the civil war.

Introduction: Rabies, also known as hydrophobia, is an acute viral disease that affects central nervous system, causing acute encephalitis in warm blooded animals including mammals. The virus responsible for rabies is Lyssavirus type I (which is derived from the Greek word lyssa meaning “madness”). In 2015 Haryana government has launched a programme to become the first State in the country to be rabies free under the National Rabies Control Programme. Method: The research approach used for this study was quantitative research approach and pre experimental (one group pre and post-test) design. The sample size was 60 general population of community. The tool used for this study consisted of three parts. Part A (demographic data). Part B, self-structure knowledge questionnaire consist of questions in various aspects such as general information, rabies prevention, (20 questions). Content validity of the tool was given by experts and tool found to be reliable and feasible during pilot study. PTP was given to the among general population of community following by pre-test and post-test was conducted 15 day onwards from the day of implementation of PTP, for those who were not available in the same setting for post-test, data was collected at their community following the addresses collected during pre-test. Result: The knowledge score 46.66% of subjects were male and 53.33% were female. Educational status 13.33% had no formal education, 15% had primary education, 28.33% had secondary and senior secondary education and 43.33% had graduation degree and above. Level of knowledge 13.33% people had poor knowledge (12 or < 12 i.e.< 40. 36.66% had average knowledge (13 to 18 i.e. 41-60%), 46.66% had good knowledge (19 to 24 i.e.61-80%) and 3.33% had excellent knowledge (25 to 30 i.e. 81-100%). No personal variable was found to be associated with level of knowledge at p < 0.05 level of significance.Conclusion: The general population of community knowledge is improve regarding Rabies prevention.

Published: July 2022

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate effects of loop diameter of a modified Kessler locking-loop (LL) suture on in vitro tensile strength and gapping characteristics of canine flexor tendon repairs.

SAMPLE

48 cadaveric superficial digital flexor tendons from 24 adult medium- to large-breed dogs.

PROCEDURES

Flexor tendons were randomly assigned to 4 groups (n = 12/group) and repaired with 2-0 polypropylene in a LL pattern with loops measuring 1, 2, 3, or 4 mm in diameter. Biomechanical loads, gap formation between tendon ends, and failure modes were evaluated and compared between groups.

RESULTS

Increasing loop diameter from 1 to 4 mm significantly increased yield (P = .048), peak (P < .001), and failure (P < .001) loads. There were no significant differences in yield, peak, and failure loads between 1- and 2-mm loops. Load to 3-mm gap formation was significantly (P < .001) greater for 4-mm loops, compared with 1-, 2-, and 3-mm loops. Failure mode did not differ significantly among experimental groups, with 46 of 48 (96%) of constructs failing because of suture breakage.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Loop diameter of a LL suture pattern is an important biomechanical variable that influences construct biomechanics of canine tendon suture repairs. Loop diameters > 3 mm are recommended when the size of the tendon allows. Further studies are necessary to determine the in vivo effect of these findings, particularly the effects on tendon blood supply.

Objetivo: Relatar o caso de um paciente que evoluiu com celulite orbitária bilateral, meningite e trombose de seio sigmóide secundário a rinossinusite, revisando cientificamente cada diagnóstico e suas interrelações. Detalhamento do caso: Paciente masculino, 16 anos, usuário de drogas ilícitas, inicia sintomas de cefaléia, confusão mental, edema palpebral bilateral, dor ocular, turvação visual e febre após quadro de infecção de vias aéreas superiores. Exames laboratoriais evidenciando leucocitose e líquor cefalorraquidiano indicativo de meningite bacteriana. Foi iniciado antibioticoterapia de amplo espectro e também drenagem neurocirúrgica de empiema subdural em fossa posterior. Houve abordagem oftalmologica de coleção intra orbitária extraocular de partes moles à direita. Trombose em seio sigmóide tratada clinicamente com anticoagulação. Considerações finais: Rinossinusites são virais e autolimitadas na maioria das vezes, mas em cerca de 0,5 a 2% pode ocorrer infecção bacteriana secundária podendo, assim, evoluir com complicações intracranianas e faciais graves se o diagnóstico não for fechado e o tratamento adequado instituído rapidamente. Nas possíveis complicações, os tratamentos são dispendiosos e prolongam o tempo de internação, além do risco de sequelas permanentes ser alto.
The Future of Eastern Mediterranean Energy and Climate Collaboration
Authors: ELGENDY KARIM
Published: July 2022

Over the last few years, the Eastern Mediterranean region has been struggling to capitalize on its natural gas resources due to several technical and financial obstacles and concerns over long-term access to markets in light of European decarbonization plans. These obstacles have been compounded by rising tensions and existing disputes between regional countries. The Russia-Ukraine war and the urgent European need to find alternative gas suppliers to reduce dependence on Russia have created a window of opportunity for regional producers to find short-term collaboration arrangements to export gas to Europe. However, this rush for market access has the potential to disrupt the region’s own energy transition to the new global economy. Alignment to grand strategies by global powers also risks undermining the regional collaboration required for climate action. Instead of prioritizing short-term gains, successful regional collaboration must focus on coordinating national energy and climate plans and developing regionally appropriate policies and solutions.

Objectives:

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium and transmitted by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. This study determined the knowledge and perception of caregivers about malaria at a tertiary health facility in Lafia Nigeria.

Material and Methods:

A prospective cross-sectional study carried out among caregivers of children aged 6 months to <15 years in Lafia Nigeria. Interviewer administered questionnaire was completed. Bivariate analysis was done. P < 0.05 is significant.

Results:

Most (66.9%) lived in rural locations. Almost half either had no formal education or primary school certificate only. About one quarter was unemployed. Almost all (92.6%) reported knowledge of fever as a symptom of malaria and 96.1% reported knowledge of mosquito bites as the cause of malaria.

Conclusion:

There is good awareness about malaria, it cause and some preventive strategies. However, more efforts are required in reaching out to those in the rural areas.
