Authors: Wulandari Ari Susiana
Published: October 2020

Hipertensi merupakan penyakit kardiovaskular yang memiliki tekanan darah diatas normal. Mayoritas penderita hipertensi tidak mengetahui bahwa dirinya menderita hipertensi sehingga penderita tidak mendapatkan pengobatan secara baik dan benar.  Itulah mengapa hipertensi dikatakan sillent killer yang dapat membunuh penderita secara diam-diam. Tujuan edukasi kesehatan oleh apoteker dapat meningkatkan tingkat pengetahuan serta perilaku pasien hipertensi terhadap penyakit hipertensi serta berperan penting dalam kontrol tekanan darah pasien. Keterbatasan apoteker di puskesmas menyebabkan edukasi tidak dapat dilakukan secara efektif, sehingga perlu dicarikan alternatif seperti salah satunya dengan pemberian booklet. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian booklet terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan, perilaku pada pasien hipertensi. Penelitian dilakukan secara prospektif dari bulan Juni sampai September 2015 di Puskesmas Purworejo.

Missing-Data Handling Methods for Lifelogs-Based Wellness Index Estimation: Comparative Analysis With Panel Data
Authors: Kim Ki-Hun , Kim Kwang-Jae
Published: October 2020

Background

A lifelogs-based wellness index (LWI) is a function for calculating wellness scores based on health behavior lifelogs (eg, daily walking steps and sleep times collected via a smartwatch). A wellness score intuitively shows the users of smart wellness services the overall condition of their health behaviors. LWI development includes estimation (ie, estimating coefficients in LWI with data). A panel data set comprising health behavior lifelogs allows LWI estimation to control for unobserved variables, thereby resulting in less bias. However, these data sets typically have missing data due to events that occur in daily life (eg, smart devices stop collecting data when batteries are depleted), which can introduce biases into LWI coefficients. Thus, the appropriate choice of method to handle missing data is important for reducing biases in LWI estimations with panel data. However, there is a lack of research in this area.

Objective

This study aims to identify a suitable missing-data handling method for LWI estimation with panel data.

Methods

Listwise deletion, mean imputation, expectation maximization–based multiple imputation, predictive-mean matching–based multiple imputation, k-nearest neighbors–based imputation, and low-rank approximation–based imputation were comparatively evaluated by simulating an existing case of LWI development. A panel data set comprising health behavior lifelogs of 41 college students over 4 weeks was transformed into a reference data set without any missing data. Then, 200 simulated data sets were generated by randomly introducing missing data at proportions from 1% to 80%. The missing-data handling methods were each applied to transform the simulated data sets into complete data sets, and coefficients in a linear LWI were estimated for each complete data set. For each proportion for each method, a bias measure was calculated by comparing the estimated coefficient values with values estimated from the reference data set.

Results

Methods performed differently depending on the proportion of missing data. For 1% to 30% proportions, low-rank approximation–based imputation, predictive-mean matching–based multiple imputation, and expectation maximization–based multiple imputation were superior. For 31% to 60% proportions, low-rank approximation–based imputation and predictive-mean matching–based multiple imputation performed best. For over 60% proportions, only low-rank approximation–based imputation performed acceptably.

Conclusions

Low-rank approximation–based imputation was the best of the 6 data-handling methods regardless of the proportion of missing data. This superiority is generalizable to other panel data sets comprising health behavior lifelogs given their verified low-rank nature, for which low-rank approximation–based imputation is known to perform effectively. This result will guide missing-data handling in reducing coefficient biases in new development cases of linear LWIs with panel data.
Family History Information Extraction With Neural Attention and an Enhanced Relation-Side Scheme: Algorithm Development and Validation
Authors: Dai Hong-Jie , Lee You-Qian , Nekkantti Chandini , Jonnagaddala Jitendra
Published: October 2020

Background

Identifying and extracting family history information (FHI) from clinical reports are significant for recognizing disease susceptibility. However, FHI is usually described in a narrative manner within patients’ electronic health records, which requires the application of natural language processing technologies to automatically extract such information to provide more comprehensive patient-centered information to physicians.

Objective

This study aimed to overcome the 2 main challenges observed in previous research focusing on FHI extraction. One is the requirement to develop postprocessing rules to infer the member and side information of family mentions. The other is to efficiently utilize intrasentence and intersentence information to assist FHI extraction.

Methods

We formulated the task as a sequential labeling problem and propose an enhanced relation-side scheme that encodes the required family member properties to not only eliminate the need for postprocessing rules but also relieve the insufficient training instance issues. Moreover, an attention-based neural network structure was proposed to exploit cross-sentence information to identify FHI and its attributes requiring cross-sentence inference.

Results

The dataset released by the 2019 n2c2/OHNLP family history extraction task was used to evaluate the performance of the proposed methods. We started by comparing the performance of the traditional neural sequence models with the ordinary scheme and enhanced scheme. Next, we studied the effectiveness of the proposed attention-enhanced neural networks by comparing their performance with that of the traditional networks. It was observed that, with the enhanced scheme, the recall of the neural network can be improved, leading to an increase in the F score of 0.024. The proposed neural attention mechanism enhanced both the recall and precision and resulted in an improved F score of 0.807, which was ranked fourth in the shared task.

Conclusions

We presented an attention-based neural network along with an enhanced tag scheme that enables the neural network model to learn and interpret the implicit relationship and side information of the recognized family members across sentences without relying on heuristic rules.
Parental Experiences of the Pediatric Day Surgery Pathway and the Needs for a Digital Gaming Solution: Qualitative Study
Authors: Rantala Arja , Jansson Miia M , Helve Otto , Lahdenne Pekka , Pikkarainen Minna , Pölkki Tarja
Published: October 2020

Background

The parents of hospitalized children are often dissatisfied with waiting times, fasting, discharge criteria, postoperative pain relief, and postoperative guidance. Parents’ experiences help care providers to provide effective, family-centered care that responds to parents’ needs throughout the day surgery pathway.

Objective

The objective of our study was to describe parental experiences of the pediatric day surgery pathway and the needs for a digital gaming solution in order to facilitate the digitalization of these pathways.

Methods

This was a descriptive qualitative study. The participants (N=31) were parents whose children were admitted to the hospital for the day surgical treatments or magnetic resonance imaging. The data were collected through an unstructured, open-ended questionnaire; an inductive content analysis was conducted to analyze the qualitative data. Reporting of the study findings adheres to the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) checklist.

Results

Parental experiences of the children’s day surgery pathway included 3 main categories: (1) needs for parental guidance, (2) needs for support, and (3) child involved in his or her own pathway (eg, consideration of an individual child and preparation of child for treatment). The needs for a digital gaming solution were identified as 1 main category—the digital gaming solution for children and families to support care. This main category included 3 upper categories: (1) preparing children and families for the day surgery via the solution, (2) gamification in the solution, and (3) connecting people through the solution.

Conclusions

Parents need guidance and support for their children’s day surgery care pathways. A digital gaming solution may be a relevant tool to support communication and to provide information on day surgeries. Families are ready for and are open to digital gaming solutions that provide support and guidance and engage children in the day surgery pathways.
Self-perceived mental health status, digital activity and physical distancing in the context of lockdown versus not-in-lockdown measures in Italy and Croatia: Cross-sectional study in early ascending phase of COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 (Preprint)
Authors: Kopilaš Vanja , Hasratian Anni M. , Martinelli Lucia , Ivkić Goran , Brajkovic Lovorka , Gajovic Srecko
Published: October 2020

BACKGROUND

The novelty of the COVID-19 pandemic is that it occurs in the globalized society enhanced by digital capabilities.

OBJECTIVE

To analyze the psychological and emotional states of participants in different pandemic-related situations together with their digital and physical distancing behaviors.

METHODS

The online survey was applied during the ascending phase of the pandemic in March 2020 in two neighboring EU countries, Italy and Croatia. The study subjects involved four groups, two directly affected by epidemiological measures and two serving as controls – (1) participants from Italy who were in lockdown (Italy group), (2) participants from Croatia who were not in lockdown, but who were in direct contact with an infected person and underwent epidemiological measures (CRO-contact group), (3) participants from Croatia who were in analogous situation but not near the same infected person (CRO-no contact group) and (4) participants from Croatia who were not aware of any infected person (CRO-unrelated group). The survey consisted of validated scales of psychological and emotional states, and custom-made questionnaires on digital and physical (off-line) behavior of the participants.

RESULTS

Italy group in lockdown had higher self-perceived scores for depression, stress, post-traumatic intrusion and avoidance, as well as highest digital activity and physical distancing than the not-in-lockdown Croatian groups. The insight in extent of online activities and off-line isolation allowed introducing Digital Activity and Physical Distancing Scores. Self-perceived post-traumatic avoidance was higher in both, the Italy and CRO-contact groups, than the control CRO-no contact and CRO-unrelated groups, and the higher avoidance correlated with higher Digital Activity and Physical Distancing Scores. Unlike Italian participants, the CRO-contact group had no other alterations than unexpectedly lower post-traumatic hyperarousal when compared to Italy and CRO-unrelated groups.

CONCLUSIONS

The Italy group demonstrated higher self-perceived psychological toll together with higher digital activity and physical distancing than Croatian groups, even when compared to the affected CRO-contact group, suggesting that the general emergency measures influenced citizens in lockdown more than a direct exposure to virus.
The Emerging Pattern of Metropolitan Governance of Lagos, Its Neighbors and Environmental Sustainability in the 21st Century Nigeria
Authors: Awotokun Ph.D Kunle
Published: October 2020

The paper examines the emerging pattern of governance in metropolitan Lagos and its neighboring settlements taking cognizance of environmental sustainability in the 21st Century with its attendant challenges. The work specifically highlights the metropolitan status of Lagos as a megacity and the issue of having to cope with its incessant population growth vis-à-vis the paucity of basic amenities needed to shove off such a highly vulnerable and competitive milieu.The work employs secondary data to elicit necessary information for its analysis and findings. Such data includes (but not limited to) textbooks, journals newspapers, magazines, periodicals, World Bank and UN-Habitat reports, etc.The findings are that governmental and non-governmental actors are involved in the metropolitan governance of Lagos and its neighbor howbeit in a perfunctory manner. Ogun State government is ostensibly proactive along provision of housing that can add value to the environment but these housing estates are deficient in basic infrastructure such as constant water supply, sewage, refuse pack, security, etc.The paper recommends a synergy among the federal government, Lagos and Ogun States as a means of ameliorating the sufferings of the people living in the area in question, as the population of the area may leap to thirty (30) million in 2025 according to population analysts. Hence, governmental and non-governmental interventions become expedient.

Authors: Liu Yao , Li Jinxian
Published: October 2020

In this paper, we extend the classical rumor model with non-Markovian recovery process in a complex network. We follow the ideas from R\"{o}st to analyze the pairwise model; then, the hyperbolic system can be transformed into integro-differential equations. For the rumor model, the reproduction number is obtained. Next, we use numerical simulation to verify the accuracy of the result. In the end, we focus on how the three different distributions of recovery time with spreading age influence on rumor model. The result illustrates the significant effect of different distribution functions on the process of rumor spreading.

Emerging Communication: the case of the hashtag #el9ningunasemueve in Mexico
Authors:   UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICO, Olmedo Neri Raul Anthony
Published: October 2020

The appropriation of virtual space by the so-called “new social movements” implies recognizing a specific type of communication that is far from the use that the subject gives it within the production and reproduction of his world of life, or from the use that the capital or the State itself. The case of the use of these technological developments by the feminist movement is an example of the convergence between offline and online actions, which gives way to a multiplicity of strategies in order to materialize their demands and specify the utopia that mobilizes them. In this sense, the purpose of this work is to identify and analyze the underlying interaction-communication network in the hashtag # el9ningunasemueve created by the Mexican feminist movement. For this, the traceability of said hashtag was performed through data mining and the structure built with the Social Network Analysis (ARS) method was analyzed in order to identify the relevant indicators such as grade level, intermediation and centrality.

Fermented milk is known as a major functional food that has proven health benefits, such as probiotic effects. The fermented milk, laban, is the foremost dairy product in Yemen. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional and health-promoting properties and antioxidant activity of laban. Nutritional and health-promoting properties were estimated. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by measuring total polyphenol levels, 1.1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl scavenging activity, reducing power, and total antioxidant capacity. The antioxidant activity of a laban-Pulicaria jaubertii mixture was also determined. Results showed considerable quantities of nutrients, especially fats, in both milk and laban. The composition differences between milk and laban show several significant health-promoting properties for laban. Laban showed higher antioxidant activity than raw milk and the addition of P. jaubertii to the laban, increased antioxidant activity. The properties of laban suggested the potential use of laban as a promising functional food with excellent health benefits, especially when mixed with P. jaubertii.

Authors: Koç Atakan , Arı Çağrı
Published: October 2020

In this study, the milk quality characteristics of Simmental (SIM) and Red-Holstein (RH) breeds raised in a private farm in Aydın were determined. As milk quality properties, the percentages of protein (MPC), lactose (MLC), non-fat dry matter (NFDMC), total dry matter (TDMC), casein (MCC) contents and also milk urea nitrogen (MUN), oleic acid (OA), beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) and somatic cell count (SCC) were determined. The averages of MPC, MLC, NFDMC, TDMC, MCC, MUN, OA, BHBA and Log10SCC belonging to RH and SIM breeds are 3.38 ± 0.021% and 3.40 ± 0.015%, 4.86 ± 0.028% and 4.81 ± 0.019%, 9.09 ± 0.037 and 9.09 ± 0.025, 11.18 ± 0.069 and 11.23 ± 0.048, 2.50 ± 0.020 and 2.44 ± 0.014, 12.07 ± 0.200 mg / dl and 12.28 ± 0.138 mg / dl, 0.258 ± 0.0095 g / 100 g and 0.255 ± 0.0065 g / 100 g, 0.284 ± 0.138 mmol / L and 0.269 ± 0.0093 mmol / L, and 5.417 ± 0.0173 (261216 cells / ml) and 5.401 ± 0.0118 (251768 cells / ml) were found, respectively. The breed did not differ significantly in milk quality characteristics, except for MCC. The lower SCC level in milk and the suitable level of MUN for both breeds shows that the factors such as maintenance-feeding-housing-herd management in the farm were optimal in this herd.

Published: October 2020

The aim of this study was to reveal the association of alizarin test scores (ATS) with somatic cell scores (SCC) in bovine milk. The milk samples (n=60) were collected from three milk selling points in Samsun province of Turkey in two test days (TD). To obtain ATS, change of colour in milk after adding dye solution were used (ATS 1: red-brown/normal, ATS 2: yellow/acidic, and ATS 3: violet/alkali). To test for reliability of ATS by acidity, pH values of the samples were measured with a standard pH meter. In SCC analyses, direct microscopic cell counting was applied. Of examined parameters, only SCC was differed by TD, and both pH and SCC were differed by the location. According to ATP groups, pH and SCC means were also changed. Finally, estimated weak (r=0.247) correlation coefficient between ATS and SCC pointed out that ATS data are not suitable to detect quality degree of bovine milk samples.

This study was conducted in two locations have different altitudes in the cities which have different climates as Ankara, Ordu, Erzurum, Mersin. The purpose of this work was to define some physiological properties of the bees such as the survivability of colony, wintering ability, usage of stoked honey and to discuss all these data. This study lasted two years and the second year was the continuation of the first year. At the beginning of the year, colonies which has the same genotype were equalized as number of combs covered with bees, stocked honey and brood areas and so on. According to the data analysis, it was obtained that the quantity of the stocked honey was not statistically significant by the region×altitude×year interaction. However, year×region and region×altitude interactions were statistically significant. Similarly, it was obtained that the wintering ability was not statistically significant by the region×altitude×year interaction. The only year×region interaction was statistically significant. Also, descriptive statistics obtained for the survivability of the colonies (%) during the first and second year was added statistically to this application. As a result, this work showed that migratory beekeepers could reevaluate the regions which have the microclimate properties in Aegean, Mediterranean, and the Black Sea. And new research should be made by adding different species of honeybees for the performance of overwintering in different climates.

Determining the physiological effects of single and binary applications of BPA and NaCl on the Ceratophyllum demersum L., which is a rootless submerged aquatic macrophyte, is the aim of the present study. For this purpose, the macrophyte was collected from a local pond that was not exposed to any pollution. Macrophytes were acclimatized in 10% nutrient solution for 14 days, than they were treated with 17.2 mg/L BPA; 10 and 100 mM NaCl; 17.2 mg/L BPA plus 10 mM NaCl and 17.2 mg/L BPA plus 100 mM NaCl. The macrophyte without added BPA or/and NaCl served as control (without treatment). Increasing concentrations of NaCl induced a progressive accumulation of Na in the macrophyte tissues. On the other hand, BPA application partially reduced Na uptake. Nutrient uptake was affected differently by the applications. The contents of some nutrients such as Cu, Zn, Mn, K and Mg were generally reduced, whereas the Fe and Ca contents were increased. In general, increases in contents of total carbohydrate, total phenolic and non-protein sulfhydryl groups were found, when compared to control. Protein and photosynthetic pigment contents, on the contrary to these, were decreased. According to findings, the increase in H2O2 and MDA levels showed that single and combined applications of BPA and NaCl in C. demersum tissues induced oxidative stress.

Published: October 2020

In this study, the relationships between some husbandry practices and calf losses in dairy farms were investigated. A total of 39 farms enrolled to Alacam Cattle Breeders Association (CBA) of Samsun, Turkey, were evaluated by structural factors (education level of farm owner: EL, personnel number: PN, experience of farm owner: EF and number of cows: NC) and husbandry practices (individual calf housing: ICH, calving pen: CP and weaning period: WP). The questionnaires for interview, observations on farm level and records of CBA belonging to 2018 and 2019 were examined. While no significant difference was found among the all groups, dead calf per farm (0.64±0.25) and mean of calf loss rate (CLR) per farm (3.42±1.07%) were assumed within the acceptable thresholds. Presenting more attention on calf rearing methods was suggested to be diminishing approach to decrease the calf mortality in the farms.

This study was carried out in the greenhouses of Bursa Uludag University Yenişehir Ibrahim Orhan Vocational School in 2014-2015 to determine the effects of five different irrigation levels (T1: 100% (full irrigation), T2: 75%, T3: 50%, T4: 25%, T5: 0% (non-irrigated)) and two different fertilization levels (F1.0: 100% (100:100:100 NPK) fertigation and F0.5: 50% (50:50:50 NPK) fertigation on yield and quality parameters of okra grown under unheated greenhouse conditions. In 2014 and 2015, the amount of irrigation water in the study was applied as 0.0-380.0 mm and 0.0-360.0 mm for the 100% (100:100:100 NPK) fertilization and 50% (50:50:50 NPK) fertilization treatments, respectively. Evapotranspiration values were realized as 200.0-410.0 mm and 130.0-400.0 mm for 100% (100:100:100 NPK) and 50% (50:50:50 NPK) fertilization treatments in 2014, 185.0-425.0 mm and 200.0-450.0 mm in 2015, respectively. It was observed that irrigation water levels significantly affected the yield, fruit diameter, fruit length, 10 fruit weight, and number of fruits per plant and dry matter of okra. The highest yield averages for both years were obtained from T1F1.0 and T1F0.5 treatments were found to be 14.6-17.8 tons‘ ha-1 and 16.8 -15.7 tons‘ ha-1 in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Crop response factors (ky) of okra were found as 1.38-1.26 and 1.26-1.41 for 100% (100:100:100 NPK) fertilization and 50% (50:50:50 NPK) fertilization treatments in 2014 and 2015, respectively. The highest water use efficiency (WUE) and irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) values were calculated as 0.036-0.038 kg m-3 and 0.045-0.049 kg m-3 from T1F1.0 and T1F0.5 treatments in 2014 and 0.040-0.047 kg m-3 and 0.035-0.046 kg m-3 from same treatments (T1F1.0 and T1F0.5) in 2015, respectively. The highest T1F1.0 and T1F0.5 values were the closest values were obtained from T2F1.0 and T2F0.5 treatments therefore T2F1.0 and T2F0.5 treatments can be recommended for okra.

Published: October 2020

The article covers the issue of dissemination of negative information about the doctor on the example of the European Court of Human Rights case law. It has been emphasized on the circumstances in which it seems possible to strike a fair balance between a doctors’ right to protect their business reputation and the freedom of expression of others. It has been established that the business reputation of the doctors is closely related to the ethical norms of their behavior. Dissemination of negative information, in particular, about the doctor is one of the manifestations of freedom of expression. However, it is important to remember that such negative information shall be true; otherwise, this activ- ity would not comply with the law. In the case of a restriction of a person’s right to freedom of expression, the European Court of Human Rights proposes to take into account the following factors: whether such a restriction was based on law, whether it pursued one or more legitimate aims and whether it was necessary in a democratic society to achieve those aims. Of course, the dissemination of negative information about a doctor affects his or her business reputation, but in order to achieve a fair balance between competing interests in this area (provided that such information was true) the public interest will prevail, because the dissemination of health information is of particular interest for the public. A fair balance in these relations will also provide such circumstances as: good faith and ethical behavior of those who publish negative information, the way the material is presented, the validity of the information disseminated, the real ability of the doctor to respond to these allegations. Key words: business reputation of a doctor, dissemination of information, European Court of Human Rights.

The birth of a child is a physiologically and psychologically complex process,when two, and sometimes more, lives (mother and child) need special protection.Rarely are women as dependent on the actions of those around them as theyare during childbirth. They are surrounded by people who are responsiblefor their and their child's health and life, they are all professionals and mustunderstand that at this time it is necessary to create the most comfortableand safe conditions for the birth of a new life. However, the jurisprudence isfull of verdicts for improper provision of medical care by obstetricians andgynecologists, and in social networks and Internet forums there are more andmore recommendations about childbirth at home, which look like a lifeline in astormy sea of fears, feelings, suggestions. A regulatory vacuum for home birthshas been determined. The case law of the European Court of Human Rightson the legality of home births under the supervision of medical professionalshas been researched. It has been suggested to introduce obstetric supervisionas a method of childbirth at the legislative level. The procedure for involvingassistants (birth doula) in partner childbirth and their legal status have beenanalyzed. Key words: childbirth, partner childbirth, assistant (birth doula), obstetricsupervision, medical care.
