Sensing everyday activity: Parent perceptions and feasibility
Authors: Levin Hannah , Egger Dominique , Andres Lara , Johnson Mckensey , de Barbaro Kaya
Published: December 2019

Mobile and wearable sensors provide a unique opportunity to capture the daily activities and interactions that shape developmental trajectories, with potential to revolutionize the study of development (de Barbaro, 2019). However, developmental research employing sensors is still in its infancy, and parents’ comfort using these devices is uncertain. This report assesses parent willingness to participate in sensor studies via a nationally representative survey (N=210) and live recruitment of a low-income, minority population for an ongoing study (N=359). The survey allows us to assess how protocol design influences acceptability, including various options for devices and datastream resolution, conditions of data sharing, and feedback. By contrast, our recruitment data provides insight into parents’ true willingness to participate in a sensor study, with a protocol including 72hrs of continuous audio, motion, and physiological data. Our results indicate that parents are relatively conservative when considering participation in sensing studies. However, nearly 41% of surveyed parents report that they would be at least somewhat willing to participate in studies with audio or video recordings, 26% were willing or extremely willing, and 14% reported being extremely willing. These results roughly paralleled our recruitment results, where 58% of parents indicated interest, 29% of parents scheduled to participate, and 10% ultimately participated. Additionally, 70% of caregivers stated their reason for not participating in the study was due to barriers unrelated to sensing while about 25% noted barriers due to either privacy concerns or the physical sensors themselves. Parents’ willingness to collect sensitive datastreams increases if data stay within the household for individual use only, are shared anonymously with researchers, or if parents receive feedback from devices. Overall, our findings suggest that given the correct circumstances, mobile sensors are a feasible and promising tool for characterizing children’s daily interactions and their role in development.

Authors: Sedhain Arun , Sapkota Abja , Mahotra Narayan B
Published: December 2019

Introduction: Infection of the central venous catheter (CVC) is a major complication seen among patients undergoing hemodialysis. Identifying CVC related infection (CRI) and its risk factors and causative organisms is important for better implementation of preventive strategies.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted at Chitwan Medical College for duration of 2 years from January 2017to December 2018 among the patients undergoing hemodialysis via CVC. The data collected were related to patients’ demographics, site of catheter insertion, and duration, microbiological data including cultures from catheter sites, blood, and catheters’ tips and antibiotic sensitivity. Catheter related infection was divided into catheter related local infection (CRLI) and catheter related blood stream infection (CRBSI). Data was analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 21.0.

Results: A total of 41 cases of CVC related infection (CRI) were documented with an incidence rate of 6.94 episodes per 1000 catheter days at risk. Out of the total CRI, 39.02% were CRLI and 60.98% were CRBSI. Fever with chills and rigor were the most common clinical presentation. Risk factors for the development of CRI were duration of catheter in situ, repeated change of CVC and the use of CVC for indications other than hemodialysis (HD).Staphylococci and Klebsiella were the most common organisms isolated in culture.

Conclusion: The rate of CRI among Nepalese patients undergoing hemodialysis is high. Prolonged duration of CVC usage, recent change of catheter and the use of the HD catheter for the purpose of institution of intravenous medication have been found as the risk factors for CRI.

Effective Communication in Social Media
Authors: Abdullah Suhazeli
Published: December 2019

I’ve never considered myself a religious man, but lately I’ve found myself preaching one key message to the community repeatedly – the need to recognize the importance of harnessing social media as part of their ongoing communication and health seeking behaviour. Gone are the days of press kits and faxing press releases. Social Media has become a game changer. Don’t believe me? Facebook alone has over 1.2 billion monthly active users, Twitter over one billion registered users and Instagram over 300 million. Nonetheless, there is strong evidence to suggest that at least part of the source of this trend is the degree to which medically inaccurate information about medical issues surface on the websites where many netizens get their information. Social media survey from MCMC (2017) stated that 77.2% of netizen search medical information including virtual consultation via internet. Sadly, 82.7% of them said, the information that they gathered from internet were trusted. Since most netizens would probably read the first few pages of the internet search results, study shown by American Academy of Physician, only 43.5% of sampled websites contained recommendations that were in line with the AAP recommendations, while 28.1% contained inaccurate information and 28.4% of the websites were not medically relevant. Hence the virtual medical information are not designed to distinguish quality information from misinformation or misleading information, and the consequences of that are particularly troubling for public health issues. Medical provider must put forward an effort to curb this myth and misleading information through social media. Social media plays a crucial role in connecting people and developing relationships, not only with key influencers and journalists covering medical fraternity, but also provides a great opportunity to establish patient's service by gathering input, answering questions and listening to their comment. The insight you gain from social media listening provide our professiona lism with a better understanding of what’s working and what’s not, and goes a long way in helpin g your public image. It’s important to be aware real-time of what people are saying about our fraternity.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2019 Page: 25
Social Media Influence on Health Belief
Authors: Nadzri Farahana Binti
Published: December 2019

In this era of information or also known as Computer Age, Digital Age, or New Media Age, the public is not only able to access information with a stroke of their fingers but also create vast information for others. The newer generations of smartphones, computers, and tablets have made information omnipresent and easily accessible through the social media platform. But are the authorities and experts using this platform effectively to reach out to the public and dispel misinformation and pseudoscience? With citizen journalists in the rise, there is a greater demand for experts to make their voice heard. Social media has become an “official” source of information on science for many. These include Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tick Tock, LinkedIn, YouTube and many more. According to a survey done by Global Web Index, internet users are spending an average of 2 hours and 22 minutes per day on social media. It influences public opinion and decision making process. Organic food, alternative treatment for cancer and other diseases, genetically modified foods, slimming products and vaccination are some of the trending science news in social media. It is time health and medical experts step up and use the social media platform to provide science-based information to the public and dispel fake news, misinformation and fear mongering. This talk will present the different types of social media platforms, their demographics and distinct characters of each platform. The different strategies to maximize the media impression will also be discussed.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2019 Page: 27

Published: December 2019

Introduction: Malaysian Field Hospital (MFH) is a tertiary healthcare centre located in Ukhia district which caters for 286 primary health clinics and 4 secondary hospitals. It provides medical services to Rohingyan refugees and the locals of Bangladesh.Objective: To investigate admission patterns to MFH in the duration of 2 months.Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of total admissions from March to April 2019 at MFH. Data was collected from the hospital’s admissions records.Results: There was a total of 223 admissions of which 51.1% were male and 69.5% were Rohingyans (n=155). Median age group was 25 years old [IQR=12-36] and median length of hospital stay was 3 days [IQR=2-4]. There was a wide distribution between disciplines with the highest number of admissions seen in the surgical department (n=86, 38.6%) followed by orthopaedics (n=58, 26%), obstetrics and gynaecology (n=51, 22.9%), internal medicine (n=26, 11.7%) and paediatrics (n=2, 0.9%).Conclusion: Rohingyan refugees and surgical cases formed the majority of admissions. Further analysis on the specific diagnosis of these admissions is required so that preventive measures can be taken. Understanding the admission patterns to MFH is important for future healthcare strategy planning i.e. number of specialists from specific fields to deploy and therapies to supply. This is to ensure that the workforce and management rendered to patients are optimised.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2019 Page: 35
Effects of Holy Quran Listening on Physiological Stress Response in Intensive Care Unit Patients
Authors: Aziz Naeemah Abd , Ali Saedah , Hassan Mohamad Hasyizan
Published: December 2019

Introduction: The intensive care unit (ICU) is one of the most stressful environments among various clinical settings. ICU patients are not only compromised by the illness, but they also faced with a wide range of stressors such as pain, unfamiliar environment and loss of interaction with family and friends. Stress and anxiety will increase the sympathetic tone (sympathet ic nervous system) and stimulate the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis response. Stressful circumstances as well as chronic diseases may alter the normal cortisol mechanisms resulting in marked increases in plasma levels. Thus, high stress response will lead to delayed healing and prolong stays in ICU. Recitation of Quran by the sick person or for the sick person has shown to have direct healing effect on the sick person. Holy Quran Listening is the most suitable way for the patients in reduces stress responses during ICU stay.Objectives: To examine the effectiveness of Holy Quran Listening (HQL) in reducing stress response among ICU patients.Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted in the Intensive Care Unit. Total 94 subjects were recruited and randomly assigned to either Control (n=49) or Holy Quran Listening (n=45) group respectively. The HQL given via headphone for 7 hours while control group given no music. Primary measures include mean blood pressure, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, serum cortisol level and serum blood sugar. Secondary outcomes include duration of stay in intensive care unit, total usage of insulin and sedation.Results: The HQL group show clinically significant in reducing HR and SBP over time. Serum cortisol level is stable in HQL group. However, there are no significantt reduction in duration of stay, total usage of sedation and insulin.Conclusion: HQL is one of the adjunct methods that can be used to reduce stress response among ICU patients.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2019 Page: 36

Authors: Ismail Khairil Idham , Mohd Yusof Hanizah , MZ Ahmad Faidhi , I Basri
Published: December 2019

Introduction: Fatigue is common among healthcare workers (HCWs). Long continuous duty hours, sleep loss with minimal recuperation and shift work are among work-related factors contributing to fatigue. Being fatigued will impair physical, cognitive, and emotional function. Substantially, it will impact the occupational and patient safety along with quality of healthcare delivery. Nevertheless, there are still paucity of Islamic perspective on the importance of fatigue management for HCWs.Objectives: Our aim is to outline the Islamic perspective of fatigue management for HCWs.Methods: Review of literature in relevance to fatigue among HCWs were carried out. Document analysis from Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) references including literature from Maqasid Syariah (the Objective of Syariah) and Qawaid Fiqhiyyah (Islamic legal maxims) perspective. Interviews with expert from both Islamic scholars and clinicians are conducted.Results: Our findings provide Islamic perspective on the importance of fatigue manageme nt for healthcare workers. The consequences of fatigue such as slowed reaction time, reduced vigilance, reduced decision-making ability, poor judgment, distraction during complex task and loss of awareness in critical situations raise the issue on the integrity of patient safety and occupational safety. This is in contrary with the principle of Maqasid Syariah which highly emphasize protection of life (hifz an-Nafs) and intellect (hifz ‘Aql) of both group of HCWs and patients. While Qawaid Fiqhiyyah strongly against inflicting harm to themselves nor bring harm to others (La darar wa la dirar); which serve as basis to support this fatigue manageme nt framework in a holistic manner.Conclusion: This study may serve as an added perspective in the angle of Islamic view on the importance of fatigue management for healthcare workers.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2019 Page: 37

Published: December 2019

Introduction: A huge number of Orang Asli population live in isolated area within peninsular Malaysia. Their lack of proper road and remoteness made their access to healthcare services difficult. Batang Padang has the 22800 Orang Asli reside in the district. Primary healthcare services have been provided to this population through static clinic and mobile clinic.Objective: This study was done to determine distance of primary healthcare from Orang Asli village and their correlation with primary healthcare utilization.Methods: A cross sectional study using Geographical Information System was done using spatial data from various sources for mapping and spatial analysis. Network analysis using ArcGIS software was used to determine the distance while Spearman correlation was used to determine association between distance and primary healthcare utilization.Result: Most of Orang Asli villages located not far from main road. Mean distance from Orang Asli village to nearest primary healthcare clinic is 5.87 kilometers. Mean duration taken for Orang Asli to come to the primary healthcare clinic is either 4.71 minutes by land transportation or 70.42 minutes by walking. Orang Asli villages located in the center of the district around Bandar Tapah have short distance to primary healthcare and the distance increase as the villages located away from the center. There is significant correlation between network distance with Orang Asli attendance to clinic (r 0.203) and MMR vaccination (r 0.230). There is also significant correlation between walking duration with Orang Asli attendance to primary healthcare (r 0.178) and MMR vaccination (r 0.227).Conclusion: As the distance and duration increase for Orang Asli to get to primary healthcare, there is increase need of primary healthcare services. Planning of primary healthcare for Orang Asli should consider the distance from these villages to primary healthcare services.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2019 Page: 46

The International Consortium of Lithium Genetics (ConLiGen): Achievements and Collaborations
Authors: Heilbronner U.
Published: December 2019

Lithium is an indispensable tool of modern psychiatry. Although it is well-known that response to lithium is a familial trait, available research on pharmacogenetics regarding lithium treatment has, in the past, produced few reproducible results. The Consortium of Lithium Genetics (ConLiGen) was initiated by Thomas G. Schulze and Francis J. McMahon in 2008 to overcome these limitations. To date, researchers from 39 countries have joined the consortium, making it a truly international effort. A hallmark of the consortium is the use of an 11-point lithium response rating scale defined by Martin Alda and colleagues. The pooling of genotype data from over 2,500 patients phenotyped with this standardized response scale, have led to initial successes, which form the basis for further research.
Using polygenic risk score approaches to investigate the common-variant genetic architecture of schizophrenia
Authors: Escott-Price V.
Published: December 2019

Is this paper we present a summary of our association analyses of schizophrenia polygenic risk score with a number of phenotypes in a large cohort of people from the UK population (N=442,192). We show that individuals with higher genetic loading to schizophrenia who have not been diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders are likely to have some cognitive deficits. Although these deficits may be subtle, they can result in significant effects on educational attainment and professional occupation. We also show that the relationship between schizophrenia liability and fecundity is consistent with sexual selection, with liability in unaffected people being associated with a net increase in fecundity, thereby supporting the persistence of schizophrenia risk alleles.

Ensuring compliance with standards for current at the point of connection to the network of a combined electric power system with a photovoltaic battery
Authors:   State Institution of Higher Education «Kiev National University of Technologies and Design», O. SHAVOLKIN , Y. STANOVSKYI , N. TIUTIUNNYK
Published: December 2019

The issue of ensuring compliance with the AC network current quality standard at the point of connecting a local object with a photovoltaic system in the case of non-linear load and nonsinusoidal voltage when using a multifunctional grid inverter is considered. In this case, the values of higher harmonics allowed by the standard for the voltage quality of general-purpose networks were taken into account. To reduce the corresponding current harmonics generated by the filter capacitor at the point of connection to the network, the use of an output LCL filter is considered, which allows to reduce the capacitance of the capacitor. It is proposed to implement this in combination with the compensation of the higher harmonics of the capacitor current by an inverter. The structure and definition of the parameters of power circuits and voltage at the inverter input with non-sinusoidal grid voltage are substantiated. The structure of the control system has been improved with the introduction of a communication line for the current of the capacitor of the output filter into the channel for forming the inverter current reference, and the parameters of the inverter current control loop are determined. At the same time, a filter is introduced into the circuit of the capacitor current signal to suppress of currents of modulation harmonics generated by the inverter. A model of the system "network - inverter - load" with the definition of power losses in the inverter keys in the case of sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal voltage is developed. This made it possible to clarify the parameters of the grid inverter. The simulation results confirm the possibility of providing a THD value of ≤5% in almost the entire range of the grid current change in the presence of one voltage harmonic, as well as a combination of voltage harmonics.

Ice phenomena in the Black Sea and the Sea Of Azov and their forecasting under the conditions of climatic changes
Authors: Gavrilyuk R.V. , Yuvchenko N. M.
Published: December 2019

Ice cover is one of the most important factors determining the state of sea surface. Study and forecasting of its parameters is not only of scientific, but also of great practical interest for maritime economy. In the northern-west part of the Black sea and in the Sea of Azov the ice situation can be quite complicated, resulting in restriction of navigation opportunities and requiring use of icebreakers. Accounting actual and forecast ice characteristics significantly affects the efficiency of hydrometeorological services in marine industries, which determines the relevance of the chosen topic.

Modern global climate change led to changes of specific parameters of the ice regime in the northern-west part of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. Studies showed that for the last 30 years the number of warm winters had increased by 15% and the number of cold winters had decreased by 19%. The duration of the ice period had decreased by a decade in the Sea of Azov and by a month in the northern-west part of the Black Sea. This determines the need for verification of the methods used for ice phenomena forecasting.

Currently, hydrometeorological services are delivered using the methods of ice phenomena forecasting that were developed in the 1980s. The main disadvantage of these methods is the limitation of the period of their application and the fact that they do not consider any climatic changes taking place over recent years.

The article's aim is to assess ice conditions changes in the north-western part of the Black Sea and in the Azov Sea over the past 20 years and to verify the method used for forecasting the dates of ice formation and disappearance.

The analysis showed that during the studied period ice formation begins later and its disappearance is observed earlier than if compared with average multi-year periods. Verification of the ice formation and disappearance forecasting method showed unsatisfactory results that did not meet the practical requirements. Based on the regression analysis new modified equations for forecasting the dates of ice formation and disappearance were defined. The accuracy of a new equation-based calculation technique constitutes 70-94% and the forecasting equations can be recommended for practical use.

This study aims to investigate phytochemical screening, total polyphenol and flavonoids content, antioxidant activities and to examine toxicity, anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects of different extracts of stigmata of Zea mays from Morocco. The flavonoids and total phenols content were performed for both extracts. The aqueous and hydro-ethanolic extracts were screened for their possible antioxidant activities by three test systems, namely DPPH free radical-scavenging, reducing power and molybdenum system. Oral and Sub-acute toxicity of the hydro-ethanolic extract was evaluated in vivo. Anti-inflammatory activity of the hydro-ethanolic extract was evaluated by Carrageenaninduced rat paw edema method. The antinociceptive effect was tested by using the formalin test. Phytochemical screening of the extracts revealed a presence of flavonoids, leucoanthocyans, heterosid sterodic, coumarins, alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, anthocyanins and tannins. The flavonoids and total phenols content show higher content of flavonoids and total phenols in the hydro-ethanolic extract. It showed better antioxidant activity than the aqueous extract in the three methods used. Furthermore, the hydro-ethanolic extract with a concentration of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight inhibited the inflammation induced by carrageenan in rats at 66.67% and 86.67% compared to 60.8% for indomethacin at 10 mg/kg after 5 h of inflammation induction. However, at dose of 500 mg/kg extract showed a pro-inflammatory effect. In the formalin test, the tolerance time of the rats was significantly higher compared to the control group. These initial results tend to support the traditional use in the treatment of cystitis, oliguria, nephritis, renal lithiasis edema, albuminuria, heart disease, slimming cures of stigmata of Zea mays in Morocco.
Game, Set, Match

This study traces, conceptually and historically, how the relationship between Israeli soccer, its fans, and the varied means of communications has evolved over the last century. We contend that these symbiotic relations, including their effects on soccer devotees, can be divided into four sub-epochs, each having a tremendous effect, not only on the development of soccer and media, but on other interrelated processes. Consequently, we argue that the development of soccer (association football), can be adequately understood only by presenting it in its historical context. The processes of state formation, population growth, urbanization, commercialization and, most germane for present purposes, the development of soccer-media-fan relations, are not isolated but rather interdependent, and therefore of significant importance when discussing soccer and media in the Israel context.

This study aimed to conduct an integrative review of scientific knowledge produced in Brazil between 2013 and 2017, emphasizing the descriptors violence and the elderly. The scientific productions were selected in the SciELO database with crossings of the descriptors used in the title of the articles, available online in full form, with the period limitation from 2014 to 2018, in Brazil collections and Portuguese language. The search in the database generated 26 articles, and ten of them were chosen for the final analysis after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The present integrative review showed that the central violence suffered was psychological, along with physical violence, with the elderly being the main victims. The findings related to violence against the elderly and associated factors reveal a scenario that is most prevalent in the home, an environment where the belief of a welcoming, loving and protective nature of external violence is deposited. In contrast, the intrafamilial relationship emerges concomitantly as a generator of conflicts that expose the elderly to the risk of violence of a character veiled, caused by the constituents themselves, which requires high vigilance and notification. Violence is a social challenge. We must prioritize research, work, and discuss the abuse of older people in political circles and understand the best way to prevent and help implement the necessary measures.

This paper presents an energy efficiency analysis at a unit of a private higher education institution in the city of Manaus. In this case study, we sought to analyze the lighting system of the educational institution, promoting a simple and effective way to contribute to the improvement of energy efficiency in the institution that is the replacement of fluorescent lamps with LED lamps (Ligth Emitting Diode). In addition to increasing efficiency, LEDs bring significant benefits to the power grid, such as improved installation power factor and power quality, and reduced maintenance due to their longer service life. This case study presents a case study to be implemented in a higher education institution. The benefits that the use of LED brings in various aspects will be analyzed in detail.

Published: December 2019

Environmental education with a focus on biodiversity values can be an instrument for sensitization, reflection, construction of a critical vision and behavior change. The knowledge of local Caatinga  biodiversity is fundamental for the valorization and conservation of its the native elements. This work aimed to present a diagnosis about the the knowledge of school students on the topics environment, Caatinga biodiversity and ecosystem services in Juazeiro, Bahia, Brazil. We used qualitative and quantitative methods, through bibliographic research, in which the conceptual and normative aspects were addressed through books, articles, journals and others, as well as through questionnaires for students. Was verified that students recognize Caatinga biodiversity especially by plants as cactus species. They presented some knowledge about the research topics, but many of the concepts were confuse. This confusion in concepts may be due to the scarcity of information related to Caatinga biodiversity in the school context, and highlight the importance of  present the studied topics as a way of encouraging conservationist actions and behavioral changes.

A Dystopian View of Postmodern Culture and Corporate Hegemony in Max Barry’s Jennifer Government
Authors: Shaheen Muhammad Mahmood Ahmad , Saeed Sohail Ahmad
Published: December 2019

This paper offers a dystopian view of postmodern culture and corporate hegemony to foreground the effects of late capitalism on human and society. The paper interprets Max Barrys Jennifer Government in the light of Frederic Jameson and Tom Moylans theories of postmodern culture and dystopia, respectively. For Jameson, postmodern culture is characterized by commodification of society, general depthlessness, simulacrum, and death of subjectivity. Similarly, Moylan considers dystopia an index of the systemic ills of late capitalism. The corporate hegemony enacts a socioeconomic hegemonic enclosure and deprives humans of social and individual identity. Barrys novel presents a dystopic view of postmodern culture by foregrounding the commodification of society, corporate hegemony, and intensification of economic growth at the cost of social values, which prompt general depthlessness and social disintegration. The present study offers an explicit understanding of the ills of late capitalism by emphasizing the lived experience of social reality.
