Published: August 2020

Elektrokardiograf (ECG) yang bersifat wearable dan nirkabel telah banyak digunakan untuk monitoring jangka panjang karena alasan praktis. Selain Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) yang tinggi, salah satu manfaat ECG dalam bentuk patch adalah fleksibilitasnya bagi pengguna dalam menempatkan elektroda. Sebagian besar ECG patch nirkabel komersial yang ada di pasaran hanya dapat menampilkan Heart Rate Variability (HRV) saja, tanpa kemampuan untuk menyediakan atau merekam gelombang EKG. Beberapa produk komersial menggunakan dua elektroda saja: Right Arm (RA) dan Left Arm (LA), tanpa elektroda tambahan yang disebut Right Arm Drive (RLD). Selain itu, menyediakan lebih dari satu opsi teknologi nirkabel untuk ECG patch merupakan keuntungan tambahan. Pada penelitian ini, kami membuat ECG patch nirkabel berbiaya rendah yang memiliki kemampuan untuk menyediakan bentuk gelombang EKG (Lead I) dan menghitung HRV secara otomatis. Selain RA dan LA, alat ini menggunakan elektroda RLD untuk meningkatkan Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR). Untuk pemrosesan data, kami menggunakan ESP32, mikrokontroler 32-bit berdaya rendah yang dilengkapi dengan Bluetooth Classic (BT), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), dan Wifi dalam modul yang ringkas. Hasil tes menunjukkan bahwa ECG patch yang dibuat menghasilkan perhitungan HRV yang lebih akurat serta waktu transisi 2,7 kali lebih cepat dibandingkan dengan produk komersial yang kami jadikan referensi.

Background: Attrition threatens the success of antiretroviral therapy (ART). In this cohort study, we examined outcomes of people living with HIV (PLHIV) lost to follow-up (LTFU) 2014-2017 at ART programs in Southern Africa.Methods: We confirmed LTFU (missed appointment for ≥60 or ≥90 days, according to local guidelines) by checking medical records and used a standardized protocol to trace a weighted random sample of PLHIV who were LTFU in eight ART programs in Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe, 2017-2019. We ascertained vital status and identified predictors of mortality using logistic regression, adjusted for sex, age, time on ART, time since LTFU, travel time, and urban or rural setting.Results: Among 3,256 PLHIV, 385 (12%) were wrongly categorized as LTFU and 577 (17%) had missing contact details. We traced 2,294 PLHIV (71%) by phone calls, home visits or both: 768 (34% of 2,294) were alive and in care, including 385 (17%) silent transfers to another clinic; 528 (23%) were alive without care or unknown care; 252 (11%) had died. Overall, the status of 1,323 (41% of 3,256) PLHIV remained unknown. Mortality was higher in men than women, higher in children than in young people or adults, higher in PLHIV who had been on ART <1 year or lost >1 year, living further from the clinic or in rural areas. Results were heterogeneous across sites.Conclusions: Our study highlights the urgent need for better medical record systems at HIV clinics and rapid tracing of PLHIV who are LTFU.

Introduction: Collaborative research approaches, such as co-production, co-design, engaged scholarship, and integrated knowledge translation (IKT), aim to bridge the evidence to practice and policy gap. There are multiple benefits of collaborative research approaches, but studies report many challenges with establishing and maintaining research partnerships. Researchers often do not have the opportunity to learn how to build collaborative relationships, and most graduate students do not receive formal training in research partnerships. We are unlikely to make meaningful progress in strengthening graduate and post-graduate training on working collaboratively with the health system until we have a better understanding of how students are currently engaging in research partnership approaches. In response, this scoping review aims to map and characterize the evidence related to using an IKT approach or other research partnerships from the perspective of health research trainees.Methods and Analysis: We will employ methods described by the Joanna Briggs Institute and Arksey and O’Malley’s framework for conducting scoping reviews. The reporting will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist. We will include both published and unpublished grey literature and search the following databases: MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global databases, Google Scholar, and websites from professional bodies and other organisations. Two reviewers will independently screen the articles and extract data using a standardized data collection form. We will narratively describe quantitative data and conduct a thematic analysis of qualitative data. We will map the IKT and other research partnership activities onto the Knowledge to Action cycle and IAP2 Levels of Engagement Framework. The search strategy will be run in June 2020. Ethics and Dissemination: No ethical approval is required for this study. We will share the results in a peer-reviewed, open access publication, conference presentation and stakeholder communications.

Published: August 2020

Recent advances in highly multiplexed imaging have enabled the comprehensive profiling of complex tissues in healthy and diseased states, facilitating the study of fundamental biology and human disease in spatially-resolved contexts at subcellular resolution. However, current computational infrastructure to distribute and visualize these data on the web remains complex to set up and maintain. To address these limitations, we have developed Viv—an open-source image visualization library for high-resolution multiplexed image data that is implemented in JavaScript and builds on modern web technologies. Viv directly renders OME-TIFF and OME-NGFF data formats. Three use cases, including integration into Jupyter Notebooks (https://github.com/hms-dbmi/vizarr), a visual exploration tool, and an image viewer (http://avivator.gehlenborglab.org) demonstrate the capabilities of our proposed approach.

Introduction: The traditional “one-size-fits-all” model of HIV care whereby people living with HIV (PLWH) have regular individual clinical visits does not reflect the various preferences and needs of PLWH and stretches the capacity of health facilities (HFs). Little is known about the availability and the experience of differentiated HIV care delivery in the rural areas of Zimbabwe.Methods: We used a mixed-method approach to collect data from clients and providers at 26 HFs in Zimbabwe in 2019. We collected quantitative data about antiretroviral therapy (ART) delivery and time spent at the HF during a visit from one representative healthcare providers (HCP) and a stratified sample of PLWH at each HF. We performed semi-structured interviews among HCPs and focus group discussions (FGDs) among PLWH to collect information about the implementation of differentiated ART delivery (DART) models and their experience. We performed linear regression models to assess factors associated with the time spent in the HFs. We analyzed the interviews using an inductive approach. Transcripts were coded and constricted down to themes significant to the research objectives.Results: The majority (77%) of participating HFs offered at least one of the five DART models recommended in Zimbabwe: 13 (50%) offered community ART refill group (CARG), 1 (4%) club refill, 6 (23%) family refill, and 8 (31%) fast-track refill models. Mobile outreach was not available at any participating HF. In an unadjusted linear model, PLWH enrolled in the fast-track refill model spent 0.40 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.15-0.56) less time at the HF than PLWH on routine care, whereas PLWH in the family refill model and delegated to go to the HF spent 2.63 (95% CI 1.42-4.88) more time at the HF during visit. Confidentiality and disclosure concerns were highlighted as the major barriers affecting the implementation of DART models, together with travel costs and waiting times. HCPs reported on the challenge of excessive workloads. Fast-track refill was perceived as the most adapted DART model to meet clients’ needs, followed by CARG and family refill.Conclusions: Confidentiality, travel costs and waiting times are key elements to consider in the implementation of differentiated care in rural Zimbabwe. More implementation research is needed to support the roll-out of differentiated HIV services in that region, especially DART models addressing the needs of PLWH. Our study supports the call for personalized care at ART programs in rural Africa.
Inflammatory Phenotype of Depression Symptom Structure: A Network Perspective
Authors: Moriarity Daniel , van Borkulo Claudia D. , Alloy Lauren B
Published: August 2020

There has been increasing interest in classifying inflammatory phenotypes of depression. Most investigations into inflammatory phenotypes solely have tested whether increased inflammation is associated with increased depression. This study expanded the definition of phenotype to include the structure of depression as a function of inflammation. Network models of depression symptoms were estimated in a sample of 4,537 adults from the 2015-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Analyses included comparisons of networks between those with elevated (C-reactive protein (CRP) values ≥ 3.0 mg/L) and non-elevated CRP as well as moderated network models with CRP moderating the associations between depression symptoms. Differences emerged at three levels of analysis (global, symptom-specific, symptom—symptom associations). Specifically, the elevated CRP group had greater global connectivity. Further, difficulty concentrating had higher expected influence (concordance with other symptoms) in the elevated CRP group. Finally, 14 out of 38 symptom—symptom associations were moderated by CRP. This study provides consistent evidence that the structure of depression symptoms varies as a function of CRP levels.
Are You Tired of “Us?” Accuracy and Bias in Couples’ Perceptions of Relational Boredom
Authors: Dobson Kiersten , Stanton Sarah C. E. , Balzarini Rhonda Nicole , Campbell Lorne
Published: August 2020

Relational boredom is an important but understudied area of the relationship maintenance literature. In three dyadic studies, we investigated the interplay of accuracy and bias in partners’ perceptions of each other’s relational boredom, and how accurate and biased boredom perceptions were associated with relationship quality. Results revealed that, overall, partners overestimated—but accurately tracked—each other’s relational boredom across the features that comprise relational boredom and across time. Additionally, when people accurately perceived their partner experiencing high levels of boredom, they reported lower relationship quality, but overestimation, underestimation, and accuracy at low levels were associated with high levels of relationship quality. Furthermore, when people accurately perceived their partner experiencing high levels of boredom, their partner also reported lower relationship quality, while only overestimation and accuracy at low levels were consistently associated with higher quality. These findings have important implications for how couples navigate boredom and maintain long-term relationships.
The social route to abstraction: interaction and diversity enhance performance and transfer in a rule-based categorization task
Authors: Tylén Kristian , Fusaroli Riccardo , Østergaard Sara Møller , Smith Pernille , Arnoldi Jakob
Published: August 2020

Capacities for abstract thinking and problem solving are central to human cognition. Processes of abstraction allow the transfer of experiences and knowledge between contexts helping us make informed decisions in new or changing contexts. While we are often inclined to relate such reasoning capacities to individual minds and brains, they may in fact be contingent on human-specific modes of collaboration, dialogue, and shared attention. In an experimental study, we test the hypothesis that social interaction enhances cognitive processes of rule-induction, which in turn improves problem-solving performance. Through three sessions of increasing complexity, individuals and groups were presented with a problem-solving task requiring them to categorize a set of visual stimuli. To assess the character of participants’ problem representations, after each training session they were presented with a transfer task involving stimuli that differed in appearance, but shared relations among features with the training set. Besides, we compared participants’ categorization behaviors to simulated agents relying on exemplar learning. We found that groups performed superior to individuals and agents in the training sessions and were more likely to correctly generalize their observations in the transfer phase, especially in the high complexity session, suggesting that groups more effectively induced underlying categorization rules from the stimuli than individuals and agents. Crucially, variation in performance among groups was predicted by semantic diversity in members’ dialogical contributions suggesting a link between social interaction, cognitive diversity, and abstraction.

What Makes Policy Complex?
Authors: Senninger Roman
Published: August 2020

Previous research finds that policy complexity affects important political processes including legislative delegation and policy diffusion. However, policy complexity is not directly observable and the search for a reasonable proxy constitutes a major challenge for scholars. This research note presents a concise and measurable definition of complex policy based on two aspects: a policy's textual sophistication and its ties to other rules and regulations. Using crowdsourcing and a pairwise comparison framework it is shown that the proposed defining features are crucial for humans' understanding of policy text. The proposed definition is then operationalized using a large corpus of European Union rules and is shown to outperform alternative operationalizations of policy complexity in predicting the level of legislative delegation.

Authors: Starr Thomas L.
Published: August 2020

This article covers in-line process monitoring of the metal additive manufacturing (AM) methods of laser and electron beam (e-beam) powder-bed fusion (PBF) and directed-energy deposition (DED). It focuses on methods that monitor the component directly throughout the build process. This article is organized by the type of AM process and by the physics of the monitoring method. The discussion covers two types of monitoring possible with the PBF process: monitoring the area of the powder bed and component and monitoring the melt pool created by the laser or e-beam. Methods for layer monitoring include optical and thermal methods that monitor light reflected or emitted in the visible and infrared wavelengths, respectively. Monitoring methods for laser directed-energy deposition (DED) discussed are those that measure the size and shape of the melt pool, the temperature of the melt pool, and the plasma generated by the laser as it interacts with the molten metal.

Immunosuppressed Patients and the Risk of COVID-19: A Narrative Review
Authors: Mendonça Fabrício Tavares , Mendonça Fabrício Tavares
Published: August 2020

Immunodeficiency is a disorder of the immune system characterized by the body's inability to establish
effective immunity in response to various harmful agents, antigens. It results in an increased susceptibility
to infections and can arise as a result of malnutrition, some types of cancer, infections such as HIV, iatrogeny
or heredity. The newly discovered coronavirus is responsible for the current pandemic that is plaguing the
world population. Most people with some type of immunodeficiency appear to be at greater risk of
developing the severe form of the disease, due to its immunomodulatory effect in some patient populations.
However, some immunomodulating agents have become the subject of discussion as possible treatments for
the disease of the new coronavirus (COVID-19), increasing the importance of understanding its
pathophysiological mechanisms and consequent control strategies. The main objective of this review is
therefore to present the main global causes of immunodeficiency and their relationship with COVID-19.

WATER AND ENERGY SAVINGS IN MICROIRRIGATION SYSTEMS DESIGN USING OPTIMIZATION MODELS
Authors: Saad João Carlos Cury , Castro Evanize Rodrigues
Published: August 2020

The main disadvantage of trickle irrigation systems is its comparatively high initial cost, which depends on the layout, design, and management of its hydraulic network. Designing the sub-main and lateral lines aiming the emitter uniformity maximization can reduce the microirrigation system costs. This research aimed to compare linear and nonlinear programming models and maximization versus minimization criteria to optimize the crop net benefit, considering the water and energy savings. Two versions of LP and NLP models were developed: the first minimized the equivalent annual cost of the irrigation system considering the pipeline cost and the energy cost; the second maximized the yearly increment in the net benefit (Bn) of the irrigated crop. In both cases, uncertainty about the crop price was considered. The models were applied in a 40 ha citrus orchard in São Paulo State, Brazil. The highest net benefit was found using the NLP model with the maximization criterion. The worst result was obtained with the LP model and the minimization of the total annual cost. The layout and management previously established by the designer are subjective and rarely results in the best solution, although the linear programming model always gets the global optimum. The NLP models get local optimal, but they defined the layout, design, and management of the systems, with more chance to obtain a higher net benefit. The NLP model for maximization showed to be an adequate option for designing microsprinkler irrigation systems, defining the hydraulic network and the operational conditions that maximize Bn and WUE, with the lowest water consumption and lowest energy cost.

Usually, scientific research begins with the collection of data in which online social media tools can be some of the most rewarding and informative resources. The extensive measure of accessible information pulls in users from undergraduate students to postdoc. The search for scientific themes has popularized due to the availability of abundant publications that resides in scientific social networks such as Mendeley, ResearchGate etc. Articles are published on these media inform of text for knowledge dissemination, scientific support, research, updates etc, and are frequently uploaded after its publication in a proceedings or journal. In this sense, data collected from database often contains high noise and its analysis can be treated as a characterization undertaking as it groups the introduction of a content into either good or bad. In this text, we present quantitative and qualitative analysis of papers popularity in Mendeley repository by using naive Bayes Classifier.

The quality process is increasingly evident within health institutions, for standardization of processes, improvement in the profitability of protocols and patient safety. This work brings case reports in a medium-sized hospital in the northeast of São Paulo, Brazil and confronts the data with the literature on continuing education and the scientific advisory process by outsourced companies. It is possible to observe that, when closely monitored by the scientific advisory of the company Sarstedt do Brasil, good results were obtained in the pre-analytical phase, always relying on continuing education and the process of measuring factors through indicators, which is already indicated in literature. In short, the quality process is a long way and must be followed day after day while education is the only tool that can be used for this to happen and without a doubt, the help of a qualified scientific advisor assists this process.

Objective: to analyze the epidemiological, sociodemographic and clinical profile of men in Rondônia, Western Amazonia (Brazil), diagnosed with the main types of cancer, during a period of 2 (two) years. Materials and Methods: it is an epidemiological, descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study, with the systematization of primary data according to the methodological model recommended by Paraguassu-Chaves et al [6]. We used an instrument developed by Paraguassu-Chaves et al [5], semi-structured composed of a series of epidemiological, clinical and sociodemographic variables. The research project is in compliance with Resolution 196/96 of the National Health Council of Brazil, taking into account the ethical aspects of research in Brazil. Main results: the 10 (ten) main types of cancer diagnosed by the location of the primary tumor in men were analyzed, corresponding to 1,163 (74.9%) cases of cancer in men, over a period of 2 (two) years. The 10 (ten) most common types of cancer in men were: prostate (30.9%), non-melanoma skin (22.9%), stomach (11.7%), bronchi and lungs (6.7%), colon (5.8%), leukemia (5.8%), esophagus (4.4%), central nervous system (4.2%), rectum (3.9%) and bladder (3.6%). The age group of 50 to 79 years old reaches 76.4% of the 10 main types of cancer in men. They are more frequent in brown (64.6%) and white (28%) men and with low education. 73.2% of men with cancer are married. 44.9% of men with cancer work in agriculture. 45.6% of men with cancer have a family history of cancer. The sum of smokers and ex-smokers reaches a relative frequency of 43.7%. 19.5% consume alcoholic beverages and 17.2% are ex-consumers. In 40.1%, "other isolated therapeutic procedures" were applied in the first treatment. 14.2% of diagnosed patients died from the disease. Conclusions: The scenario of cancer projection in men in Rondônia is worrying and requires an urgent redirection of actions and strategies for cancer prevention, control, assistance and treatment.
Information and Communication Technologies in Education:
Authors: Linhares Ponte Filho Marcus Henrique
Published: August 2020

This article is a product of the author's PhD Thesis, which investigated what teachers in the early years of elementary school think (and do) about the use of Information and Communication Technologies - ICT in the educational context. The research was conducted in a public school in the city of Fortaleza, Ceara State, and the data collected consists of discussions held in focus groups, with teachers and managers of the institution. The analyses were made from theoretical references of Educommunication, a field of research in expansion in Brazil, which defends the idea that educating must necessarily be a democratic and participatory act. The prevalence among educators of a discourse of fear and control over the use of ICT in school was verified through the promotion of a centralizing and authoritarian use of ICT during classes.

Published: August 2020

The objective of this study was to assess the quality and potential of wood from naturally fallen trees in the forest for product development and to provide subsidies for the use of raw material. The inventory of fallen trees was carried out along the road from the Experimental Station of Tropical Silviculture of the National Institute for Research in the Amazon (EEST / INPA) - Nucleus ZF-2, at km 23 of the ZF-2 road that starts to the left of km 50 of Highway BR-174 (Manaus-Boa Vista).  Only trees that had fall characteristics due to natural factors, that is, that had exposed roots, were considered for the inventory. It was also stipulated as a requirement for measurement the diameter class of trees of 25 cm ≤ DBH ≤ 45 cm. From each naturally fallen tree, the diameters (largest and smallest) and their length were measured. 5cm thick discs were removed from the trees to obtain samples for scientific identification of the wood and determination of physical properties. Based on the inventory, it was identified that many of the trees naturally fallen in the forest are in good conditions of use, considering their woody material and their volume. The Alexa grandiflora species presented the highest volume with 2,788 m³ for a single tree, followed by the species Ormósia sp. with 2,287 m³ and Protium tenuifolium Engl with a volume of 1,269 m³. Regarding the health of the inventoried trees, all from the species Byrsonima crispaJuss. had no sign of degradation, followed by the species Croton lanjouwensis and Ingá sp. The most frequent class was medium density with 9 species with a variation of 0.47g/cm3 to 0.62g /cm3. Eperua schomburgkiana Benth was the most dense with 0.78g /cm3.The levels of degradation found and the intrinsic characteristics of the species did not compromise the possibilities of using this wooden product, and can represent an excellent opportunity for economic return, contributing to minimize the pressures exerted around the living forest.

Published: August 2020

Nowadays financial literacy is essential as in a society much of the financial responsibility has shifted from governments to the individual. The findings of earlier studies show that university students are not knowledgeable about personal finance and their financial skills needs improvement. This study analyzed the survey results of 536 university students to assess the financial literacy, the impact of educational and demo-graphical characteristics to the participants' financial literacy, and the students' financial opinions and choices. Results of regression analyze showed that statistically significant impact to the financial literacy had factors: academic discipline, level of education, gender, nationality, age and the choices to have a current account, a debit card, and investment services. Students studied in the Faculty of Civil Engineering compared to others, had higher knowledge in finance, especially female students.
These results of study give the direction for future research and enable to enhance financial education.
