Introduction

Awareness creation through mass media has the potential to promoted positive behaviors and discourage negative health-related behaviors through direct and indirect pathways. In this study, we examined the association between exposure to mass media and maternal health care services utilization among women in sub-Saharan Africa.

Methods

We used data from the recent Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) conducted between 2010 and 2020. A total of 28 countries with a survey dataset within 2010–2020 were included in our study. We included 199,146 women who had ever had a pregnancy in the last five years preceding the survey. Weighting was applied. Multilevel mixed-effect models were considered to account for cluster-level variations and correct inferences. Fixed and random effects estimates were reported. Adjusted odds ratio (aOR) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to present the results. Also, we presented the random intercept variations, intraclass correlation coefficient, and model fitness.

Results

Women who listened to radio at least once every week (aOR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.07,1.15) were more likely to attend ANC as against those who did not listen to radio at all. Also, women who watched television at least once a week (aOR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.33,1.46) were more likely to attend ANC compared to those who did not watch television at all. Women who read newspaper/magazine at least once a week (aOR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.14,1.41); listened to radio at least once a week (aOR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.07,1.17); and watched television at least once a week (aOR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.24,1.40), were more likely to utilize SBA than those who did not read newspaper/magazine; listen to radio; and watch television at all. Women who read newspaper/magazine at least once a week (aOR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.27,1.45); listened to radio at least once a week (aOR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.32,1.42); and watched television at least once a week (aOR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.32,1.47) were more likely to utilize PNC compared to those who did not.

Conclusions

The study identified a strong positive relationship between mass media exposure and maternal health care services utilization. Specifically, exposure to radio and television were positively associated with ANC visitations. Moreover, exposure to mass media (newspaper/magazine, radio and television) were positively associated with SBA and PNC utilization. Policymakers and other non-governmental organizations should continuously invest resources in the design and implementation of maternal health service utilization educational programs through all the mass media channels to scale up women’s maternal health service services utilization uptake in sub-Saharan Africa.
Stochastic epidemiological model: Simulations of the SARS-CoV-2 spreading in Mexico
Authors: López Vázquez Pablo Carlos , Sánchez González Gilberto , Martínez Ortega Jorge , Arroyo Duarte Renato Salomón
Published: September 2022

In this paper we model the spreading of the SARS-CoV-2 in Mexico by introducing a new stochastic approximation constructed from first principles, where the number of new infected individuals caused by a single infectious individual per unit time (a day), is a random variable of a time-dependent Poisson distribution. The model, structured on the basis of a Latent-Infectious-(Recovered or Deceased) (LI(RD)) compartmental approximation together with a modulation of the mean number of new infections (the Poisson parameters), provides a good tool to study theoretical and real scenarios.
Music we move to: Spotify audio features and reasons for listening
Authors: Duman Deniz , Neto Pedro , Mavrolampados Anastasios , Toiviainen Petri , Luck Geoff
Published: September 2022

Previous literature has shown that music preferences (and thus preferred musical features) differ depending on the listening context and reasons for listening (RL). Yet, to our knowledge no research has investigated how features of music that people dance or move to relate to particular RL. Consequently, in two online surveys, participants (N = 173) were asked to name songs they move to (“dance music”). Additionally, participants (N = 105) from Survey 1 provided RL for their selected songs. To investigate relationships between the two, we first extracted audio features from dance music using the Spotify API and compared those features with a baseline dataset that is considered to represent music in general. Analyses revealed that, compared to the baseline, the dance music dataset had significantly higher levels of energy, danceability, valence, and loudness, and lower speechiness, instrumentalness and acousticness. Second, to identify potential subgroups of dance music, a cluster analysis was performed on its Spotify audio features. Results of this cluster analysis suggested five subgroups of dance music with varying combinations of Spotify audio features: “fast-lyrical”, “sad-instrumental”, “soft-acoustic”, “sad-energy”, and “happy-energy”. Third, a factor analysis revealed three main RL categories: “achieving self-awareness”, “regulation of arousal and mood”, and “expression of social relatedness”. Finally, we identified variations in people’s RL ratings for each subgroup of dance music. This suggests that certain characteristics of dance music are more suitable for listeners’ particular RL, which shape their music preferences. Importantly, the highest-rated RL items for dance music belonged to the “regulation of mood and arousal” category. This might be interpreted as the main function of dance music. We hope that future research will elaborate on connections between musical qualities of dance music and particular music listening functions.
Tracking and perceiving diverse motion signals: Directional biases in human smooth pursuit and perception
Authors: Wu Xiuyun , Spering Miriam
Published: September 2022

Human smooth pursuit eye movements and motion perception behave similarly when observers track and judge the motion of simple objects, such as dots. But moving objects in our natural environment are complex and contain internal motion. We ask how pursuit and perception integrate the motion of objects with motion that is internal to the object. Observers (n = 20) tracked a moving random-dot kinematogram with their eyes and reported the object’s perceived direction. Objects moved horizontally with vertical shifts of 0, ±3, ±6, or ±9° and contained internal dots that were static or moved ±90° up/down. Results show that whereas pursuit direction was consistently biased in the direction of the internal dot motion, perceptual biases differed between observers. Interestingly, the perceptual bias was related to the magnitude of the pursuit bias (r = 0.75): perceptual and pursuit biases were directionally aligned in observers that showed a large pursuit bias, but went in opposite directions in observers with a smaller pursuit bias. Dissociations between perception and pursuit might reflect different functional demands of the two systems. Pursuit integrates all available motion signals in order to maximize the ability to monitor and collect information from the whole scene. Perception needs to recognize and classify visual information, thus segregating the target from its context. Ambiguity in whether internal motion is part of the scene or contributes to object motion might have resulted in individual differences in perception. The perception-pursuit correlation suggests shared early-stage motion processing or perception-pursuit interactions.

Authors: Kanbayashi Yuko , Ishikawa Takeshi , Kuriu Yoshiaki , Otsuji Eigo , Takayama Koichi
Published: September 2022

Background

Oxaliplatin causes acute cold-induced neurotoxicity and chronic cumulative neuropathy, which can require dose modification and impacts quality of life. However, effective strategies for managing oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (OIPN) among affected patients remain elusive.

Objective

This retrospective study aimed to identify predictors for the development of OIPN.

Methods

Participants comprised 322 cancer patients at our hospital who were receiving oxaliplatin between January 2017 and March 2021. For the regression analysis of factors associated with OIPN, variables were manually extracted from medical charts. The severity of OIPN was evaluated using the National Cancer Institute’s Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5. Multivariate ordered logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors for the development of OIPN. Optimal cut-off thresholds were determined using receiver operating characteristic analysis. Values of P <0.05 (2-tailed) were considered significant.

Results

Significant risk factors identified included higher body mass index (BMI) (odds ratio [OR] = 1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.00–1.12; P = 0.043), female sex (OR = 1.67, 95%CI = 1.06–2.61; P = 0.026) and higher total dosage (OR = 2.39, 95%CI = 1.67–3.42; P = < 0.0001).

Conclusion

High BMI, female sex and high total dosage were identified as significant predictors for the development of OIPN.

Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health problems in primary care. The PARADIES (Patient Activation foR Anxiety DIsordErS) intervention combined elements of cognitive behavioural therapy with case management and has demonstrated efficacy. Our aim was to explore patient characteristics, which may influence the course of anxiety symptoms over a 12 months period. Multiple linear regression was used to quantify associations of baseline characteristics (demographics, clinical parameters, medication use) with changes in anxiety symptoms as measured by the Beck anxiety inventory. Treatment modalities (e.g. adherence to appointment schedules) were considered as confounders. We examined univariate associations between dependent and independent variables before considering all independent variables in a multivariate final model. To find the best model to explain BAI score changes, we performed step-wise selection of independent variables based on Akaike information criteria. We tested for interaction terms between treatment allocation (intervention vs control) and independent variables using the multivariate model. We repeated these analyses in control vs intervention groups separately. From the original trial (N = 419), 236 patients (56.3%) were included. In the multivariate model, receiving the intervention (p<0.001), higher anxiety symptom severity (p<0.001) and longer illness duration at baseline (p = 0.033) were significantly associated with changes in anxiety symptom severity to the better while depression severity at baseline (p<0.001) was significantly associated with changes in anxiety symptoms to the worse. In stratified analyses, the control group showed significant associations between depression symptom severity and illness duration with anxiety symptom changes while baseline severity of anxiety symptoms remained significantly associated with anxiety symptom changes in both groups. A brief primary-care-based exposure training combined with case management is effective in a broad range of patients with panic disorder with/without agoraphobia, including those with longer illness duration and co-existing symptoms of depression at baseline.
Computer-assisted analysis of polysomnographic recordings improves inter-scorer associated agreement and scoring times
Authors: Alvarez-Estevez Diego , Rijsman Roselyne M.
Published: September 2022

Study objectives

To investigate inter-scorer agreement and scoring time differences associated with visual and computer-assisted analysis of polysomnographic (PSG) recordings.

Methods

A group of 12 expert scorers reviewed 5 PSGs that were independently selected in the context of each of the following tasks: (i) sleep staging, (ii) scoring of leg movements, (iii) detection of respiratory (apneic-related) events, and (iv) of electroencephalographic (EEG) arousals. All scorers independently reviewed the same recordings, hence resulting in 20 scoring exercises per scorer from an equal amount of different subjects. The procedure was repeated, separately, using the classical visual manual approach and a computer-assisted (semi-automatic) procedure. Resulting inter-scorer agreement and scoring times were examined and compared among the two methods.

Results

Computer-assisted sleep scoring showed a consistent and statistically relevant effect toward less time required for the completion of each of the PSG scoring tasks. Gain factors ranged from 1.26 (EEG arousals) to 2.41 (leg movements). Inter-scorer kappa agreement was also consistently increased with the use of supervised semi-automatic scoring. Specifically, agreement increased from Κ = 0.76 to K = 0.80 (sleep stages), Κ = 0.72 to K = 0.91 (leg movements), Κ = 0.55 to K = 0.66 (respiratory events), and Κ = 0.58 to Κ = 0.65 (EEG arousals). Inter-scorer agreement on the examined set of diagnostic indices did also show a trend toward higher Interclass Correlation Coefficient scores when using the semi-automatic scoring approach.

Conclusions

Computer-assisted analysis can improve inter-scorer agreement and scoring times associated with the review of PSG studies resulting in higher efficiency and overall quality in the diagnosis sleep disorders.

When infecting plants, fungal pathogens secrete cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs) that break down cellulose and hemicellulose, the primary components of plant cell walls. Some fungal CWDEs contain a unique domain, named the carbohydrate binding module (CBM), that facilitates their access to polysaccharides. However, little is known about how plants counteract pathogen degradation of their cell walls. Here, we show that the rice cysteine-rich repeat secretion protein OsRMC binds to and inhibits xylanase MoCel10A of the blast fungus pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae, interfering with its access to the rice cell wall and degradation of rice xylan. We found binding of OsRMC to various CBM1-containing enzymes, suggesting that it has a general role in inhibiting the action of CBM1. OsRMC is localized to the apoplast, and its expression is strongly induced in leaves infected with M. oryzae. Remarkably, knockdown and overexpression of OsRMC reduced and enhanced rice defense against M. oryzae, respectively, demonstrating that inhibition of CBM1-containing fungal enzymes by OsRMC is crucial for rice defense. We also identified additional CBM-interacting proteins (CBMIPs) from Arabidopsis thaliana and Setaria italica, indicating that a wide range of plants counteract pathogens through this mechanism.

During infection, Bacillus anthracis bacilli encounter potent antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) such as defensins. We examined the role that B. anthracis capsule plays in protecting bacilli from defensins and other cationic AMPs by comparing their effects on a fully virulent encapsulated wild type (WT) strain and an isogenic capsule-deficient capA mutant strain. We identified several human defensins and non-human AMPs that were capable of killing B. anthracis. The human alpha defensins 1–6 (HNP-1-4, HD-5-6), the human beta defensins 1–4 (HBD-1-4), and the non-human AMPs, protegrin, gramicidin D, polymyxin B, nisin, and melittin were all capable of killing both encapsulated WT and non-encapsulated capA mutant B. anthracis. However, non-encapsulated capA mutant bacilli were significantly more susceptible than encapsulated WT bacilli to killing by nearly all of the AMPs tested. We demonstrated that purified capsule bound HBD-2, HBD-3, and HNP-1 in an electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Furthermore, we determined that the capsule layer enveloping WT bacilli bound and trapped HBD-3, substantially reducing the amount reaching the cell wall. To assess whether released capsule might also play a protective role, we pre-incubated HBD-2, HBD-3, or HNP-1 with purified capsule before their addition to non-encapsulated capA mutant bacilli. We found that free capsule completely rescued the capA mutant bacilli from killing by HBD-2 and -3 while killing by HNP-1 was reduced to the level observed with WT bacilli. Together, these results suggest an immune evasion mechanism by which the capsule, both that enveloping the bacilli and released fragments, contributes to virulence by binding to and inhibiting the antimicrobial activity of cationic AMPs.

Published: September 2022

Background and Aim: Perennial allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic upper respiratory disease, with inflammation mediated by immunoglobulin E in the nasal mucosa caused by house dust mites. Recently, allergen immunotherapy showed promising allergic healing in patients with a definite history of sensitization. Based on this finding, a product was developed using Indonesian house dust mite (IHDM). This study aimed to optimize the allergenic rhinitis mouse model that was generated using IHDM to test the in vivo sensitivity and safety of this product.

Materials and Methods: Seven groups of mice were used for effectiveness testing – normal, negative control with IHDM challenge, positive control with 0.1% histamine challenge, and AR group by both IHDM-induced sensitization at 12.5, 50, 250, or 500 μg and IHDM challenge. Mice were sensitized by intraperitoneal administration of IHDM once a week for 3 consecutive weeks. Thereafter, the challenge was given intranasally 5 times on alternate days. The number of nose rubbing and sneezing was noted. Eosinophil infiltration was assessed histologically using hematoxylin and eosin staining. The expression of interleukin-5 (IL-5) mRNA in the nasal mucosa was determined using semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.

Results: The induction of AR with IHDM significantly increased the number of nose rubbing and sneezing in the mouse model. Eosinophil infiltration was observed in the nasal mucosa; however, no significant change occurred in the expression of IL-5 mRNA.

Conclusion: Overall, these data indicate that IHDM allergenic extract could be an effective sensitizing agent in a mouse model of AR. Although the use of IHDM is a limitation of this study because other sources of house dust mites might have different effects, this study provides a proper model for immunotherapy effectivity testing for in vivo pre-clinical studies.
Migración internacional y carrera académica
Authors: Mendoza Pérez Cristóbal
Published: September 2022

El artículo explora las razones de migración de dos grupos de académicos (españoles e italianos en México y latinoamericanos en España). Mientras los europeos del sur migran a México debido a la falta de empleos de calidad en la academia de sus países de origen, los latinoamericanos se desplazan mayormente a España para ampliar estudios. En segundo lugar, el artículo analiza las trayectorias laborales de estos dos grupos. Los académicos del sur de Europa tienen una progresión laboral positiva en México, pero los académicos latinoamericanos en España consiguen principalmente posiciones laborales precarias con perfiles orientados a la docencia, de tal forma que algunos optan por abandonar la academia o incluso se plantean una nueva migración. Como argumento de fondo, se encuentra la discusión sobre si los grupos estudiados responden a una “migración del conocimiento” o son “migrantes cualificados” que migran ante la falta de perspectivas laborales.

La desprotección de las trabajadoras del hogar ha sido una cuestión reiteradamente postergada por la legislación española y a su vez es consecuencia de la informalidad en el sector doméstico, que obedece a factores económicos, políticos y culturales. La alta informalidad del sector condena a las trabajadoras del hogar, en su mayoría mujeres migrantes, a estar fuera del sistema de protección social y también a una “precariedad sobrevenida” en una etapa prejubilatoria, a pesar del acceso a la ciudadanía. Este artículo analiza la informalidad en el servicio doméstico y el acceso a la protección social de mujeres migrantes trabajadoras del hogar, incluyendo la Protección Social Transnacional, desde una perspectiva longitudinal y de género, teniendo en cuenta las diferentes etapas migratorias y vitales.

A notary is usually considered an official from whom reliable advice can be obtained. However, in practice in the field, there are notaries who violate the provisions. This study aims to determine the accountability of the notary regarding changes to the contents of a notary deed without the consent of the parties and the legal consequences of changing the contents of a notary deed without the consent of the parties. This study used a normative juridical approach. The results of this study state that a notary who changes the contents of a notary deed without notification to either party, then the notary must be liable by being sentenced, but in terms of the strength of evidence, the original deed is degraded into an underhand deed because it has violated several articles contained in the law. -invited the position of notary public. The legal consequence of changing the authentic deed that does not meet the requirements causes huge losses to one of the parties involved in the implementation of the contract.

The world is now facing a novel pandemic caused by COVID-19, prompting countries, including Indonesia to take steps to contain gushing numbers of COVID-19 cases. The pillar of Indonesia’s response is enforcing a Large Scale Social Restriction (LSSR) to minimize physical contacts in society, one of them through closing down schools and workplaces. Notary, as a member of society, is also obliged to maintain this social distancing policy and minimize meetings with clients physicaly. Such means is possible through Cyber Notary Concept, a concept where notaries do their jobs using various high technologies, including internet.  Indonesian Regulation has mentioned this concept once in the Indoensian Notary Codes, but no further regulation follows to execute this concept. Author will be using the normative legal research method for this paper. This reasearch is aiming is to study the urgenciesof forming regulations regarding the practice of Cyber Notary to prop up the government in the attempt of surpressing the escalating numbers of those who are infected by the virus. Cyber Notary is one effective way to decrease physical contacts between notaries and their clients, because this kind of activities could be done with the technology of ellectronics, therefore following regulation is desperatelyneeded.Keywords: Cyber Notary; Technology; UrgencyAbstrak Dunia sekarang ini dihadapkan dengan pandemi COVID-19 yang menuntut setiap negara, termasuk Indonesia untuk melakukan upaya-upaya sedemikian rupa untuk memutus rantai penyebaran virus ini.

Abstract The implementation of the Sale and Purchase of Apartments is generally carried out by making a Sale and Purchase Agreement (PPJB) which is made under the hand with a standard contract model made unilaterally by the developer and the buyer only has to sign it. This article discusses whether a PPJB that is made under the hand can be considered an illegal act because the PPJB creation should have been carried out in front of a notary, especially PPJB where the position of the parties is not balanced. This article uses empirical normative research, which is carried out using secondary data by analyzing existing legal principles related to the implementation of PPJB for apartments and separation of ownership rights from apartments and continued with primary data through interviews. The result of this research is that PPJB which is made under hand does not provide legal certainty to consumers. Keywords: buy and sell; certificate of ownership of flat units; flats                                                                                                                                    Abstrak Pelaksanaan Jual Beli Apartemen pada umumnya dilakukan dengan permbuatan Pengikatan Perjanjian Jual Beli (PPJB) yang dibuat secara dibawah tangan dengan model kontrak baku yang dibuat sepihak oleh pengembang dan pembeli hanya tinggal menandatanganinya.
