BACKGROUND

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is promising in the treatment of early psychosis. Augmenting face-to-face ACT with a mobile health (mHealth) ecological momentary intervention (EMI) may increase its treatment effects and empower clients to take treatment into their own hands.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to investigate treatment adherence to and acceptability of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Daily Life (ACT-DL), a novel Ecological Momentary Intervention for people with Ultra-High-Risk (UHR) state and a First-Episode Psychosis (FEP).

METHODS

In the multi-center INTERACT randomized controlled trial, UHR and FEP individuals aged 15-65 were randomized to treatment as usual only (TAU) (control) or to ACT-DL+TAU (experimental), consisting of 8 face-to-face sessions augmented with an ACT-based smartphone application, delivering ACT skills and techniques in daily life. We collected data on treatment adherence to and acceptability of ACT-DL. Predictors included baseline demographic, clinical and functional outcomes.

RESULTS

ACT-DL+TAU participants (n=71) completed a mean of 6 (SD=3) sessions, with 59% (n=42) of participants completing all sessions. App adherence data (n=58) shows that, on a weekly basis, participants used the app 13 times and were compliant to 6 out of 24 (25%) notifications. Distribution plots of debriefing scores (n=46) show that 85%-96% of participants reported usefulness on all acceptability items to at least some extent (scores ≥2; 1=no usefulness), and that 91% reported perceived burden by number and length of notifications (scores ≥2; 1=no burden). Ethnic minority background predicted lower notification response compliance (b=-4.37; p=.012), yet higher app usefulness (b=1.25; p=.049). Negative (b=-0.26; p=.010) and affective (b=0.14; p=.04) symptom severity predicted lower and higher ACT training usefulness respectively. Being female (b=-1.03; p=.049) predicted lower usefulness of the ACT metaphor images on the app.

CONCLUSIONS

Our results corroborate good treatment adherence to and acceptability of ACT-DL in early psychosis. We provide recommendations for future intervention optimization.

CLINICALTRIAL

The trial was prospectively registered within the Dutch Trial Register (ID: NTR4252).

Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND

Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is a validated screening tool widely used to assess perinatal depression (PND). However, due to stigma associated with PND, respondents could answer sensitive questions differently depending on the mode of administration, especially in culturally and linguistically diverse country like India. The present study explored longitudinal differences in EPDS scores between self-administered and interviewer-administered modes

OBJECTIVE

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the differences in EPDS administration between the self-administered and interviewer-administered modes, a longitudinal observational study to understand and improve the test score interpretation. The present study explores differences in EPDS scores in assessing PND longitudinally, comparing self and interview-based modes of EPDS administration in perinatal women of rural South India

METHODS

177 women from rural South India were administered EPDS, self-administration followed by interviewer-administered for four visits, twice each during prenatal and postnatal visits. EPDS scores were compared between the two modes descriptively, graphically and by repeated mixed measure models. Classification of antenatal depression (AD), postnatal depression (PD) and PND based on the two modes were compared by McNemar Chi-square test. Clinical and psychosocial characteristics were examined to identify factors associated with differences in the scoring modes. Concordance rates and Goodman Kruskal’s Gamma coefficients were measured for individual EPDS items.

RESULTS

Longitudinal EPDS scores and rates of AD, PD and PND were significantly higher in self-administered mode. Recent adverse life events were the only factor observed to be significantly associated with the differences between the two modes. Rank correlation and concordance rates suggested stronger association for EPDS items relating to anhedonia subscale and moderate/weaker association for EPDS items relating to anxiety/depression subscales.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study findings suggest that the effect of mode of administration should be taken into account while using PND screening tools such as EPDS, especially in countries such as India with higher levels of illiteracy.

CLINICALTRIAL

The study was registered with the Clinical Trials Registry of India, registration no. CTRI/2017/11/010497 and was conducted from October 2017 to May 2019.
An Online Assessment to Evaluate the Role of Cognitive Biases and Emotion Regulation Strategies for Mental Health During the COVID-19 Lockdown of 2020: Structural Equation Modeling Study (Preprint)
Authors: Blanco Ivan , Boemo Teresa , Sanchez-Lopez Alvaro
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND

Extant research supports causal roles of cognitive biases in stress regulation under experimental conditions. However, their contribution to psychological adjustment in the face of ecological major stressors has been largely unstudied.

OBJECTIVE

We developed a novel online method for the ecological examination of attention and interpretation biases during major stress (ie, the COVID-19 lockdown in March/April 2020) and tested their relations with the use of emotion regulation strategies (ie, reappraisal and rumination) to account for individual differences in psychological adjustment to major COVID-19–related stressors (ie, low depression and anxiety, and high well-being and resilience).

METHODS

Participants completed an online protocol evaluating the psychological impact of COVID-19–related stressors and the use of emotion regulation strategies in response to them, during the initial weeks of the lockdown of March/April 2020. They also completed a new online cognitive task designed to remotely assess attention and interpretation biases for negative information. The psychometric properties of the online cognitive bias assessments were very good, supporting their feasibility for ecological evaluation.

RESULTS

Structural equation models showed that negative interpretation bias was a direct predictor of worst psychological adjustment (higher depression and anxiety, and lower well-being and resilience; χ29=7.57; root mean square error of approximation=0.000). Further, rumination mediated the influence of interpretation bias in anxiety (P=.045; 95% CI 0.03-3.25) and resilience (P=.001; 95% CI −6.34 to −1.65), whereas reappraisal acted as a mediator of the influence of both attention (P=.047; 95% CI −38.71 to −0.16) and interpretation biases (P=.04; 95% CI −5.25 to −0.12) in well-being.

CONCLUSIONS

This research highlights the relevance of individual processes of attention and interpretation during periods of adversity and identifies modifiable protective factors that can be targeted through online interventions.

The post truth era has become a new vocabulary for cadres who never give up in following the times. But who would have thought that the post truth era would also lead to a dilemma that never ended after unsettling the cadre team in Cibeusi village. The cadre team that was incorporated from 3 RWs including RW 06, RW 014, and RW 015 also showed their dedication through regular social activities. Therefore, the authors use a qualitative approach through data collection techniques in the form of observation and interviews. The results obtained show the following; 1) designing social movements as an effort made by the Cibeusi cadre team in overcoming health information hoaks and the post truth era; 2) the Cibeusi cadre team's social movement implementation consists of 3 words, namely active, innovative, and creative; 3) cadre team social movements include communication programs in the form of counseling and training involving academics or related medical personnel as the main sources in providing literacy movement training programs; 4) Evaluation of the ongoing literacy movement as part of the success of the government health program output.

Tourism is an important asset to regional income and a place of creativity promote the region characteristics. This study aims to analyze persuasive communication strategy conducted by Government, analyzing the communication barriers that occur in the process of forming a tourism conscious society, and purpose the mode of persuasive messages and effective communication media designed to build a tourism conscious society. This study uses a qualitative approach to get the facts from the symptoms that exist and seek information factually. The results show the main persuasive communication strategy undertaken by the government is forming a ‘pokdarwis’ (tourism awareness group). However, this strategy can still be used in various forms, such as: pokdarwis has not acted as an agent of change, unclear tasks distribution in pokdarwis group, un-maximized media, uncontinuity press release, and no synergy among stakeholders. A persuasive message form that can be designed to maximize this communication strategy can be a one-sided and two-sided message. The good government and groups that have been formed this hopefully can use the media consistently so that messages can reach various layers of society. Media that could be matches with the target audience were print media media, outdoor media, group communication media, personal communication channels and internet. Pariwisata merupakan asset yang sangat penting dalam menyumbang terhadap pendapatan daerah dan ajang kreativitas untuk memperkenalkan ciri khas daerah. Untuk itu, penting strategi komunikasi persuasif sebagai faktor penarik kunjungan wisatawan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis strategi komunikasi persuasif yang dilakukan oleh Pemerintah Kota Padang, hambatan komunikasi dalam proses pembentukan masyarakat sadar wisata, dan menawarkan pesan persuasif dan media komunikasi efektif yang dapat dirancang untuk membentuk masyarakat sadar wisata. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif untuk memperoleh fakta-fakta dari gejala-gejala yang ada dan mencari keterangan secara faktual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan strategi komunikasi persuasif utama yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah berupa pembentukan pokdarwis (kelompok sadar wisata). Strategi ini masih menemui berbagai hambatan dalam pelaksanaannya, seperti: pokdarwis belum bertindak sebagai agent of change, tidak duduknya tugas di kelompok pokdarwis, media yang belum dimaksimalkan, tidak adanya kontinuitas press release, dan tidak adanya sinergi antar stakeholder.

This study is an analysis about the strategy of governments economic empowerment for Papuans women traders in the district of Muara Tami, located at the border between the West Papua Province and Papua New Guienea. In addition to the problems of low infrastructure development for women traders in border areas, this study found a more complex reality faced by the Papuan women traders that hindered their economic improvement, the competition between the migrant groups who dominated the economic development in their area. By employing a qualitative methods through observation, interviews, and literature study from secondary materials in the field, this study argues that the empowerment agenda for Papuan women traders needs more concerted efforts of affirmative and inclusive policies to protect the economic position of Papuan women traders, rather than a traditional approach of knowledge transfer and skill building alone. This study shows that affirmative and inclusive policies is an important and necessary part of empowerment agenda for Papuan women traders.

This study aims to determine and analyze: 1) The implementation of the Suroan Tradition of the Javanese Migrant Community in HessaPerlompongan Village, Dusun IV, 2) The Meaning of Suroan of the Javanese Migrants in HessaPerlompongan Village, Dusun IV. This study applied a qualitative method, where the research was carried out on the Javanese Migrant Community in HessaPerlompongan Village, Dusun IV, AirBatu District Asahan Regency. The data validity was guaranteed by detailed observation and data triangulation. The results show that: 1). The Javanese migrant community in hamlet IV HessaPerlompongan did not abandon the Javanese tradition that was brought by their ancestors 2). The implementation of the Suroan in Hamlet IV HessaPerlompongan usually coincides with the 1st of Suromonth, marked by two series of activities: Genduri and The Kuda Lumping Show (JarangKepang) 3). The Javanese migrants in hamlet IV interpret one Suro night or throughout the Suro month as well as: a month that is required to be eling (remember) and alert, interpreting the Suro month as a month full of calamities so that in this month the Javanese people are not allowed to build houses, hold for events such as weddings, circumcision parties, and others. Javanese people in hamlet IV interpret the Suro month as a form of respect for their previous ancestors' spirits and as a month full of fear and, like spirits, continue to appear. In this case, the Javanese Migrant Community in HessaPerlompongan Village, Dusun IV, Air Batu District, Asahan Regency should continue to preserve the customs, habits, and traditions of their ancestors and pass them on to future generations (children and grandchildren) so that these traditions do not become extinct and remain sustainable.Keyword: Community, Javanese Migrants, tradition, Suroan
Statistical relationships between indicators of favourable living environments in biosphere compatible cities
Authors: Ilyichev Vyacheclav A. , Kolchunov Vitaly I. , Gordon Vladimir A. , Kormina Alexandra A.
Published: June 2021

Abstract Introduction. National goals and strategic objectives of the Russian Federation encompass the development of comfortable and safe urban environments. Pursuant to the goals and objectives, set by the state, the comfort of urban environments must be improved and the value of its quality index must go up, while the number of cities having unfavorable living environments must go down in the short term. Environmental deterioration, which is underway in many cities, sets the task of developing new urban living principles that regulate the biosphere compatibility of cities and the development of human capital. Materials and methods. The theoretical basis of this research project is the paradigm of life activities — biosphere-compatible cities and settlements capable of developing humans, as well as its fundamental provisions concerning the assessment of social standing, the pace of human development, and the application of social standards to public relations. Practical tools, that may be used to solve this problem, include the correlation and regression analysis that serves to identify the statistical relationships between dependent/independent variables of interacting factors and social and demographic indicators of residential areas (micro-districts/blocks) in municipalities. Results. The co-authors propose a new system of indicators, that will be used to assess the condition of the living environment. It expands the traditional notions of urban planning and quality of life in urbanized territories following the principle of urban functions employed to satisfy rational human needs. Statistical data on the availability of urban functions in 17 residential districts of the 15 cities of the Russian Federation was analyzed to choose the type of the regression model and perform the numerical evaluation of its parameters. The results of the correlation and regression analysis of dependent and independent variables, performed in this paper, substantiate the choice of the most significant interacting factors and their rightful contribution to statistical models used to forecast most favorable living conditions. Conclusions. Statistical patterns, identified by the co-authors, are indicative of the level of services provided to the population of residential areas (micro-districts/blocks); they will be the subject matter of further scientific discussions to be focused on the substantiation of indicators of comfort and safety of urban environments and multifactorial processes of life activities in biosphere-compatible cities.
A solution to the problem of stability of thin-walled steel cylindrical shells
Authors: Cheremnykh Stepan V. , Sokolov Sergei A.
Published: June 2021

Introduction. It is necessary to improve methods of analysis of the limit states, occurring when a thin-walled shell is in the elastoplastic domain, to use these cylindrical shells as elements of heavily loaded products of construction and machine building industries.
Materials and methods. The problem of stability of a circular thin-walled cylindrical shell, made of steel 45 GOST 1050-2013, that takes the load induced by pure compression and axial torsion, has been studied. Besides, experimental and theoretical components of the problem have been analyzed. Experimental facility SN-EVM was applied to perform an experiment test and analyze its findings in terms of different versions of the theory of plasticity used to solve shell stability problems beyond the elastic limit. The co-authors emphasize the unavailability of any definition of the criterion of stability loss under combined loading based on experimental dependences that were identified earlier. The results of the experiment were compared with the results of the theoretical study. The analysis of the shell stability in the case of complex subcritical loading are based on the A.A. Ilyushin theory of stability, in which plasticity functions are taken according to V.G. Zubchaninov’s approximations.
Results. The problem was solved using the software programme, developed by the co-authors. The software solves the bifurcation problem of a cylindrical shell with regard for the complex nature of deformations at the moment of stability loss in the case of exposure to complex subcritical loading, commensurable processes and the trajectory that has the form of circular arcs. It has been shown that the proposed method of analysis and approximations describe the real stress-strain state of shells that feature low flexibility in respect of a complex pattern of deformation and characterize a stable state of the material beyond the elastic limit.
Conclusions. The theoretical strength and deformability analysis of a cylindrical shell and its experimental studies demonstrate sufficient convergence which proves their reliability. This conclusion will allow to improve the process of design of structural elements made of materials that have complex mechanical properties.
Interaction between a long pile and the multilayered soil body with account for elastic and rheological properties as well as soil stabilization
Authors: Ter-Martirosyan Zaven G. , Akuleckij Aleksandr S.
Published: June 2021

Introduction. When the footing is embedded in loose clayey soils, buildings may settle down for a long period of time. The projected settlement period is of great importance for the design of foundations designated for such soils. Therefore, the approach to describing the process of foundation settlement must be considered as rheological. This article addresses the setting of and a solution to the problem of interaction between a long pile and surrounding multilayered and underlying soils with account taken of the rheological properties of the surrounding soil body. The creep process is considered with account taken of stabilization.

Materials and methods. Linear problem setting is considered. The analytical method is employed to present a solution. The rheological stabilization parameter is used to describe the creep process.

Results. An expression is derived to determine the reduced shear modulus for the multilayered soil body. The relationship between the value of the force applied to the pile toe and the time is derived with regard for the rheological stabilization parameter. Analytical solutions are enforced by graphs in the article. Graphs describing the relationship between pile settlement, the force applied to the toe of the pile, passing through alternating soil layers, and the time are provided for various values of viscosity and the variable parameter of stabilization.

Conclusion. Solutions, obtained by the co-authors, are used to perform the preliminary identification of displacement of long piles and surrounding multilayered underlying soils. The rate of stress changing underneath the pile toe depends on soil viscosity. The rheological coefficient of stabilization has a major effect on the time of pressure stabilization underneath the pile toe, as well as the time of the pile settlement stabilization. Dependencies, derived in this article, make it possible to project the future settlement pattern.

Privatisation of Toll Roads to Promote Malay Entry into Business in Malaysia: A Critical Review of Distribution Stance, Returns, Risk and Governance
Authors: Thillainathan Ramasamy
Published: June 2021

The focus of the paper is on toll road privatisation. An overview of the choice of privatisation and the form it took, in promoting the entry of Malays into business, is followed by a review of other studies on privatisation in Malaysia. Given the highly confidential nature of the privatised concessions, data on ownership and likely terms have been gleaned from rating of the bonds issued, as the bond market has been the key source of infrastructure financing. From such data, the dominance of the Malay managerial class over its business class is readily evident, especially after the Asian financial crisis (AFC). The likely impact of toll road privatisation on the stance of distribution is also examined. As concessions are still awarded on a negotiated basis, the issue of rent-seeking is also explored. Uncertainty and variability in the financial performance of the concessionaires can be seen from the spread and deterioration in credit of the issuers, attesting to the greenfield nature of the projects undertaken or due to differences in gearing or in the support and subsidy enjoyed from the government. The separation in ownership and control, either due to continued ownership by state-owned enterprises (SOEs) or widely held public listed companies (PLCs), has increased the risk of expropriation by those who exercise management control.
Ongoing Self-review and Continuous Quality Improvement Among Family Medicine Residencies
Authors: Carek Peter J. , Potts Stacy E.
Published: June 2021

Graduate medical education (GME) occurs during and is a crucial step of the transition between medical school and clinical practice. Residency program graduates’ abilities to provide optimal patient care, act as role models, and demonstrate excellence, compassion, professionalism, and scholarship are key elements and outcomes of successful GME programs. In order to create and maintain the training environment that leads to such outcomes, programs must continually review and revise their patient care and educational activities. Currently, compliance with accreditation standards as determined by individual specialties such as family medicine serves as a common and significant marker for program quality. Compliance with these requirements is necessary but not sufficient if faculty and residents want to achieve the goal of residency training in terms continually improving and optimizing the care they provide to their patients and communities. For overall program improvement to truly occur, the patient care, scholarship, and community activities of current residents and graduates must be assessed and used in program improvement activities. Appropriately applied to programs and using these assessments, quality improvement principles and tools have the potential to improve outcomes of patient care in residents’ current and future practice and improve programs in educating residents.
Behavior in the electric current curve by changing the anodizing area

In this work, we studied the change in the electric current and the length of the nanotubes depending on the area and the exposure time in the anodizing process. Over time the anodizing area was changed with a rate of 0.5 cm2 to 2.5 cm2 using a total anodizing time of 60 min, using a chemical solution (2ml  /3 ml /0.30g ) and maintaining a constant anodizing voltage equal to 20 V. The behavior in the nanostructures was recorded by the evolution of the current density as a function of the anodizing time. The morphology of the nanostructures was analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). With the use of the Imagej program. The size, length and diameter of the titanium nanostructures are obtained. The sample that presented the best behavior was that of an anodizing area of ​​1.5 cm2  and an anodizing time of 36 min. This presents a surface where open nanotubes are observed in the upper part with a vertical length of 0.23 μm and a pattern thereof organized in a circular arrangement with a diameter of 0.035 μm. It was observed that increasing the area under these anodizing conditions decreased the length of the nanotubes. The mobility of the loads was always greater with the area of ​​exposure, which is observed in the increase of the current

En todas las sociedades la educación juega un papel primordial para el desarrollo humano y la transformación efectiva de las diferentes naciones. El potencial de beneficios a las personas, comunidades y países de este componente se apalanca sobre la base del conocimiento, donde la educación desempeña un lugar importante. Diversas propuestas dirigidas a definir políticas mundiales respecto al desarrollo social y económico la han referenciado; tal es el caso de la UNESCO que en el año 2015 definió los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible como un importante tema para la definición de grandes metas de la educación superior en el mundo (1).
An investigation of the nonlinear creep damage accumulation of different materials: Application of a novel damage model
Authors: Zhao Xu , Niu Xuming , Song Yingdong , Sun Zhigang
Published: June 2021

Variable creep load is one of the most important failure modes for
hot-component of aero-engine. To accurately predict creep damage and
remaining life, a novel nonlinear creep damage accumulation model is
proposed based on the Wilshire function and isodamage line, which takes
the influence of load history into account and uses ultimate tension
strength to compensate the temperature effect. Experimental result of
tests on four kinds of material were utilized to verify the accuracy of
the proposed model and to compare it with existing models. It was
determined that the novel model was better at predicting damage
accumulation than all others model. Furthermore, the proposed model
elucidates the evolutionary process of creep damage, and four cases of
damage evolution process are discussed.

of infection has been increasing among immunocompromised individuals.
This case of an epidural abscess and spondylitis caused by Veillonella
parvula in a hemodialysis patient illustrates the importance of
performing anaerobic blood culture in immunocompromised patients with
signs of infection.
Year in Review 2020: Nutrition and Gastrointestinal Disease in Cystic Fibrosis
Authors: Sathe Meghana , Sharma Preeti , Savant Adrienne
Published: June 2021

The multisystemic manifestations of cystic fibrosis (CF) involve all
parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) system, including the pancreas,
intestine and liver. As providers who care for people with CF (PwCF),
knowledge of the manifestations, treatment and research related to
nutrition and GI disease is important. This review is last installment
of the CF Year in Review 2020 series, focusing on the multisystem
effects of CF. Part one focused on the literature related to CFTR
(cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein)
modulators, while part two focused on pulmonary outcomes, radiographic
and physiologic assessments, as well as infection and inflammation. Part
three was split into Part 3A, focusing on the multisystem impact of CF,
and this review, Part 3B, focusing on nutritional, gastrointestinal and
hepatobiliary articles. Articles were chosen from Pediatric Pulmonology
but also include articles published in 2020 from other journals that are
of particular interest to clinicians.
